(Journal Special Berries.)
. i- New York, July J7. The keynote of
jtha Republican presidential campaign
was sounded today. Ia tba preaence of
'a oommlttea of distinguished . party
'leaders representing every state and
territory In the union who called at
Sagamore Hill to formally notify him of
I Ma nomination by tba Chicago conven
tion. President Roosevelt -read his let
"ter of acceptance, discussing at length
(the political eventa of his administra
tion and his-views jpn the- platform
. (adopted by the party at Chicago.
The notification ceremonies took place
yearly this afternoon and were marked, by
.'extreme simplicity. ... The members of
I the notification committee and a uum
, Iber of the eminent Republicans arrived
'at Oyster Bay shortly before noon and
'wars driven at ones to the Roosevelt
horns. After the president had shaken
hands with each member of the party
ths visitors gathered on the lawn In
front of the houae preparatory to the
formalities of ths occasion. Ths crowd
was considerably larger than had been
! anticipated and Secretary Loeb and his
'assistants wars kept-suay for- some
time-In providing for ths comfort pf
ths guests. -". - ' -Owing
tq ths decision of Secretary
: 'Loeb, who doubtless consulted with ths
president, townspeople at large were
not permitted to visit Sagamors to
listen to ths speeches. . Ths prohibition
..caused a good deal, of hard feeling." In
.'in 1900 ths villagers participated In
the Jollification, to ths destruction of
, the Sagamore Hill lawns snd shrubbery.
-"' Speaker Cannon was Intrusted ' with
the task of delivering the notification
speech and he acquitted himself with
' credit as was evidenced- by ths enthu
siasm with which, his remarks were
greeted. -,-
Mr. Cannon said: "Mr. President, ths
.Republican party, under your leadership,
keeps Its record from its beginning un
der Lincoln, of doing things, the right
thing at the right time, and in ths light
way, notwithstanding ths opposition of
those who oppose right policies from a
selfish or partisan 'standpoint.
Thev dara not tell the truth about
your official actions or ths records oft
ths Republlcaa party and then condemn
it. They can for selfish or partisan
reasons abuss you personally and mis
represent ths party which you lead. It
lis true, however, that, so far, their abuss
2 of your actions and their alleged fear
of your personality Is insignificant as
compared With their personal anoear
tlsan earplnga against Lincoln, Grant
. and McKlnley when they were clothed
wltbrpower by- ths people. r -
. "Those whose only grievance Is that
you have enforced the law and thosa
who carp for mere partisan capital will
' not, in my Judgment, reap the harvest
of success. ' - 4 ".
'The Republican party is for you snd
under your leadership appeals to the
great body of people who live In the
. sweat of their faces, make, civilisation,
control ths republic, fight Its battles and
determine Its policies for approval and
' continuance In power.
"The office of president of ths United
Estates Is ths greatest on earth " and
: many ' competent men in ths Republi
can party are ambitious to hold It, Tet
the Republican convention met at Chi
cago June last and cordially, with -one
accord, nominated you as -ths candidate
of the party for president -, ''!"". .
- Bepublloaaa Said "Amen."
'7 am surs all Republicans snd a mul
titude of good elttsens who do not call
themselves Republicans said "Amen."
"In purauanca of the usual custom
' - ths convention appointed a committee,
of whtcn It -honored me with the chair
manship, to wait upon you and Inform
you of Its action, which duty, speaking
for ths committee, I now cheerfully per
form with the hope and confident ex
'pectatlon that a majority of the people
' of the republlo will In November next
approve the aotton of the convention by
: ehooatng electors who will assure your
v election rb the presidency as your own
Successor."
Ths president's speech of accept
ance was delivered from the veranda
and was listened to with the closest at-
' tentlon by those present. ... . ,.
.Ths President Accept a. , ,
' Immediately after the applause of
' thove present had been given Mr. Can-
, Don for his address ths president stepped
' forward and said:
"Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the
Notification Committee: I am deeply
sensible of the high honor conferred
upon me by the representatives of ths

Washington. D. CX. July I7.-flenator
Mitchell of Oregon, as attorney for the
Portland Flour A Milling company, to
day filed a formal protest, with the state
department against the recent seliure by
the Russian squadron of the steamship
Arabia, on the, ground that the vessel
carried a cargo of lt.000 sacks of flour,
consigned by the company, but not des
tined for Japan and not contraband rof

v Senator Mitchell confirmed the fore
going dispatch this afternoon at the
Portland hotel. , ' ! :
Yea. I bavs filed sach a protest," ns
said, "and ths ground of protest Is that
the cargo la not contraband and that
having been consigned by a neutral ves
sel and under a neutral flag to the port
of a neutral nation, the cargo cannot be
confiscated by Russia. The cargo con
sisted of .00 sacks cf flour, having
an Insured value of 101.095. It was not
consigned to the Japanese government,
nor even to Japanese cltlsens, but' to
merchants who are cltissna of the Chin
ese empire, and reside In the English
port of Hongkong. The Arabia 'Is a
German vessel and sails under the Ger
man fla,g. In my opinion It Is very clear
that the cargo could not be regarded as
contraband,- and therefore could 'not be
properly confiscated. I entered protest
In behalf of ths owners t the cargo. I
understand that protest will also be filed
by the. attorneys for the owners of the
vessel. ., -.- .

GAMBLERS' PARADISE

7sttle, July 17. At least $1,000. a
month is distributed among officials by
Ballard gamblers to portect the vari
ous resorts from interference either on
the part of the police or the prosecuting
attorney. The publicity that. has at
trnded operations In ths northern sub
urb is the result of a .row among ;)is
camblers. ewrtaln cnas refusing the de
mand for tribute.
In order to prevent farther hostilities,
which necessarily would lntesfere with
the prevailing order of things, a repre
sentative of the officials went to Bal
lard and held a conference with the in
terested gamesters, but it is not believed
that the result was entirely satisfactory.
Open gambling continues oh the ground
floor, and neither the Ballard police, city
officials or county authorities make
any move to prevent the Operation of

-.Denver, Colo, July 27. Governor Pea

the Cripple Creek district by Issuing a
proclamation whereby . full power to
govern is again turned over to the civil
authorities. This action was tsken
npon the receipt ot a letter from Sheriff
Kdward Bell, In which he said his forces
were sufficient to prevent any disorder
If the troops were withdrawn.' Several

- The . Portland' and Asiatic company's
liner Aragonla will clear at ths customs
house this Afternoon for China and Ja
pan..' Tomorrow afternoon she will ssll
for-the orient with one of the most
valuable cargoes that has left this port
since last March. Included In her cargo
Is a large quantity of flour declared by
the, Russian government to be contra
band' of war. I '.---''.;-"",-"'-'
. It Is admitted by the company officers
that the liner Arabia, which sailed from
Portland for Yokohama on July' I. Is
undoubtedly in the hands of therRus
sians. Despite this fact a cargo simi
lar to that of the Arabia will be taken
by the Aragonla, and an . effort mad
to dodge the warships of the crar.
It Is generally believed among those
who are well Informed on marine mat
ters that the government officials at St
Petersburg will be apprised at once of
the sailing date of the Aragonla and ths
smount and character of - her - cargo.
Others are Just as confident that ths
Japanese government le keeinng equally
as wall posted, and consequently there
Is a very strong probability that the two
opposing naval forces will have a little
skirmish - oat in ttfe oriental waters
somewhere over the Aragonla and her
cargo. ; .. .: . s .
So far as can be learned the captain
Is going te take the seme course tnat ell
of the other steamere from the Columbia
river have beeo following, although jio
announcement to this effect has been
made. Node of the details concerning
the voyag or ether matters that would
prove of rartlctilar interest at this time

opening of the labor disputes. '
Not slnoe June A following the In
dependence dynamite outrage, have the
civil authorities had any voice in affairs.
No troops are now under arms In the
state. . The' governor,. . in replying to
thoss who protested against ths ending
of martial law, called attention to the
fact that the state has suffered an ex
pense, of nearly ' 41.000,000 due - to
strikers and the consequent steady em
ployment of troops within the past II
months. Reports from ths . district
show that all Is quiet today and thst

is being given out indiscriminately.
Of the BO, 000 barrels 'yf flour which
Is, being shipped on the steamer a good
portion of It Is being consigned to Jap-,
aneae Arms. --There are also 17 flat ears
going to. ths same destination. It Is
argued' that they re Just as much con
traband1 of war 'aa flour or other food
stuffs, from a Russian point of view. .
. The real war scare to local shippers
came a little too late for It to have any
effect upon the amount of freight that
is going out on ths liner which is now
ready for sailing. Enough freight to
fill the vessel had already been prom
ised at the time the news came that
the Arabia, had been seised. Shippers
say that there Is' a fair demand for flour
from China and - Japan, -but the local
millers are averse .to accepting any
more orders until they see Just how thsy
stand In regard to ths seizure of stocks
by ths Russian warships when the goods
are consigned to individuals and not to
the Japaneae governments - Local mill
men who had most of tlfc freight which
was seised on the Arabia have Jjow
practically given up sll hope of the
vessel being safe. - Asked whether the
cargo of the Aragonla will be insured, T.
B. Wilcox of. the" Portland Flouring
Mills company this morning said:
"Of course ws will Insure it that is,
if - It Is possible. - We oaa afford to lose
one or two cargoes, but would rather not
lose any, of 'course."
Many here entertain .the belief, that
Russia has no legal right to interfere
with commerce so long as vessels are
not carrying goods direct to the Japan
ese army ana navy.-

Chicago, July 17. A fire, whlcli' for
a time threatened the destruction of
the entire packing plant of the Swift
company, started at I: JO o'clock this
morning In ths lard refinery and biased
with . fury until more than two-thirds
of the building was destroyed. It was
brought under control only after -all
ths private engines of the packers and
nearly tbe- entire Ore-flghtina-foree of
that end of the city had been assembled
on the ground. " . -
. -The building was in Itself of no great
value. The loss on the structure Is ap
proximately $15,000. The loss on its
contents is not given out.' T For days
there has been a special guard of firemen
and apparatus throughout ths '' stock
yards, hence when the flamee were dis
covered no ttroe was- lost ' In playing
great stream of water on the blase. -.
It la believed the flames originated
from an overheated dynamo, but for. a
time rumors were current that the fire
was of Incendiary origin. Some of the
non-unionists asserted this - to - bs -the
case, while the strikers disputed this
by making assertions that it was caused
by a dynamo run by n incompetent
man. l; t '' ' -: -"" J ,,v ''
.Crowds numbering thousanda of men
wers In ths vicinity when the fire alarm
was given, but the police st once assem
bled end drew deadlines around the sons
in which the. fire was sltusted and per
mitted no one to cross: It was feared
for a time that a general rush would be
made and that In the confusion the fire
men would be either openly prevented or
greatly hindered in' their work. This
would doubtless hsve meant the de
struction of ths entire plant. Involving
a loss of magnitude. . - :
" Teamsters Are Out. . :
Complying- th order Issued for
a strike, which yesterday received ths
sanction of the head officers, the team
sters this morning did not report for
work. In that direction the tie-up was
practically complete. - '.---
. Although -the, packers assert that they
have more than 400 teamaters at wor.k
this rooming, It Is certain that none ap
peared In the danger sone and that de
liveries were not made. Schwarxchleld A
Sulsberger stole a march on the strikers
snd suoceeded by a ruse In getting nine
wagons through the lines and on the
down-town routes, but it' ls not probable
that they-will again "bavs such success.
In these deliveries newly painted
wagons bearing no names were run out
and they were not so heavily loaded that
their contents were exposed. Before the
strikers suspected to whom the wagons
belonged the early morning deliveries
had been made. - v
There is no method Of delivering meat
from the stockyards to the city by other
means than wagons and this feature
alone is one of the most serious to be
met. In the great strike of -.1901 all
rioting was due to these deliveries. It
ts probable that an attempt1 to deliver
with non-union drivers will Instantly be
met by violence. Chicago Is such an in
tensely unionised town that on every
band where a wage question is being
fought every foot of the road means
harassment in soms form or other.
