THEY CANSOT LAND.
Chinese May Not lie-Enter the Country
T'lilex They are Merchants.
San Francisco, Sept. 15. Judge
Beatty rendered a decision in the habeas
corpus case of Fan Ow Bow this after
noon in the United States circuit court.
The case was a test of the recent . decis
ion of Justice Field, of the United States
supreme court, declaring that the com
etruction placed on the exclusion act by
the latter tribunal was that no Chinese
subjects could land in this country
unless he had a certificate from his
government to the effect that he was a
merchant or had been a merchant of
good standing in the United States.
Judge Beatty held that under the decis
ion the Chinese could not come into this
country without a certificate from the
government of which he was a subject
which must be vised by the American
consul at the port of embarkation . The
case will be appealed to the United
States supreme court.
In the Queen's Name.
Constantinople, Sept. 15. A detach
ment of bluejackets and marines from a
British ironclad, accompanied by a
battery of light field pieces and several
gatling guns", landed yesterday morning
at Sigri, on the island of Mitylene, for
mally occupying that place in the name
of the queen of England. There is a
good harbor at Sigri. and it is supposed
the British naval officers at Mitylene in
tend to fortify the island to make it a
coaling station and rendezvous for the
British Mediterranean fleets. Sigri is
on the coast of Mitylene, and is about
sixty miles from the mouth of the Dar
danelles. Late this evening another and more
startling dispatch comes by telegraph
from Athens. It is that the Greek con
suls at Mitylene and Smyrna have wired
the Greek government that thirteen
British men-of-war landed troops and
guns at Sigri, Friday, and that they
have already strongly' fortified the posi
tion. Lord Salisbury's chief private
secretary has returned unexpectedly to
London and is busy at the foreign office.
The Campbell-McKinley Debate.
Columbus, O., Sept. 15. The chair
men of the republican and democratic
committees have agreed upon the time
for the joint debate between Governor
Campbell and Major McKinley. The
details as to the opening and closing of
the debate and the time to be occupied
have not yet been decided upon, but the
time and place of the meeting will be
October 30, at Ada.
.
Only a Picnic Party.
London, Sept. 15. A Moro dispatch
states that the Mitylene scare has arisen
from the fact that a party of British
naval officers, Saturday last, picniced on
a desert island off cape Sigri and that
they reimbarked the same evening on
board their vessel and sailed away Sun
day. .

FLOWER NOMINATED.
The Democratic Party of New York
Nominate a Governor Amid the
Wildest Excitement
Salem has a Small Fire The Southern
Pacific Car Shops Burned Other
Xews Notes.
Saratoga, Sept. 16. Promptly at 10
o'clock . this morning the democratic
state convention was called to order,
after which the decision in regard, to the
country democracy was presented. The
committee on resolutions, reported a
platform. The platform pronounces
against silver coinage of a dollar not of
the same intrinsic value of every . other
dollar of the United States. It also de
nounces the new Sherman silver dollar
bill as of false pretense and hindrance
to free bimetalic coinage, and as tending
only to produce a change from one kind
of non-metalism to another. This bill
was declared to be a fit appendix to the
subsidy and bounty swindle. The Mc
Kinley worse than war tariff, Blaine's
reciprocity humbug, the squandered
surplus, falsified representation, and
revolutianary procedure of the billion
dollar congress, were all justly con
demned by the people's great uprising
last November.
The following resolutions were also
'passed :
Resolved, That this convention
views with gratification the growing
hfriendly feeling toward the democratic
party, of our colored citizens in this
state, and they are welcomed to our
ranks with the assurance that within
our party discrimination on account ' of
race or color is discountenanced.
Then a motion was made to proceed
with the nominations and Mayor Porter
nominated Roswell P. Flower for gov
ernor. The nomination was seconded
in behalf of Tammany by Col. Fellow.
Bourke Cochrane also seconded the
nomination of Flower. Thos. Deevitt,
of Kings placed Alfred Chapin in nomi
nation for governor. The first ballot re
sulted in Flower receiving 334 votes, and
Chapin 43. The nomlnation'of Flower
was made unanimous amid the wildest
exeitement.
PIKE AT 8A1KJ1.
The Willamette University Partially
Destroyed . by Plre.
Salem, Sept. 16. At half past nine
this morning the Willamette University
one of the oldest educational institu
tions on the coast, was discovered to be
on fire and before an alarm was sounded
the ceiling of the library room on the
fourth floor was wrapped in flames
while flames were coursing downward.
The dome was burned off and the large
bell fell with a crash. By the strenuous
efforts of the fire department the fire
was. checked in its downward course at
the fourth floor, which was slightly dam
aged. The fifth floor was entirely de
stroyed. The fire started at the roof
from a defective flue, just above the
chemical room. Many articles in he
museum and library were destroyed.
The total loss will reach ten thousand
dollars fully covered by insurance.'
Southern Pacific Shops Burned.
Pobtland, Sept. 16. Fire broke out
in the Southern Pacific car shops a few
miles south of the city today. Particu
lars are not yet received, but it is
thought that the loss will not be large.
A later report intimates the fire is
more serious than at first supposed, and
that the loss will reach between forty
and fifty thousand dollars. The repair
shops and all the out-buildings have
been destroyed. The machine shops
were saved, by a hard fight. Several
coaches were ako consumed.
To furnish Change.
Washington, Sett. 16. Owing io nu
merous inquiries coming from different
parts of the country for fractional 6ilver
coin, the United States treasurer pre
pared a circular stating-inx substance
that new halves and dollars will be fur
nished in annia of $20.00 or more by ex
press free of charge or by registered
mail in sums or multiples of $50.00, reg-j
istration charges paid to any point in
the United states.
Mexican Congress in Session.
City of Mexico, Sept. 16. President
Diaz opened congress last night. In his
speech he said : "Our foreign relations
are excellent. I have' named a commis
sion to arrange a treaty of reciprocity
with the United States. Chilian Junta
asks for recognition but we have de
manded time for investigation as we
wish to be neutral."

The British Navy Prepared to Assert Its
Rights In the Mediterranean. ,
London, Sept. 15. Notwithstanding
the qualified denial by government of
ficials, of the reported seizure of a fort
on the island of Mitylene, public opinion
is almost universally to the effect that
the situation at the Dardanelles will be
met by England with force. In public
places nothing else is talked of, although
it is not believed that either Turkey or
Russia will approve of any violent resist
ance to such steps as England may
choose to take. The British fleet is now
equal, in line of battle ships to the fleets
of any other two European powers, and
would in the opinion of naval officers,
speedily clear the Dardanelles, into the
Black sea, of Russian crafts, and also give
a good account of the French if they
should interfere. A dispatch from
Portsmouth said that the naval authori
ties there had not heard officially of any
seizure ot a Turkish port or island, but
one official who was interviewed said he
would not be surprised at anv time to
hear of some critical action. " Not that
he had heard from his superiors on the
sbject, but that the whole situation as
publicly known was highlv threatening.
The recent visit of the French fleet to
Portsmouth and the fraternal greeting
and enthusiasm and great interest to the
sbject of a possible war. An English
man intimately connected with the
Turkish legation said today :
"Should war break out between Rus
sia and England, Turkey would, I think,
allow them to fight it out, simply taking
care of herself, if attacked. I do not
think that Turkey would construe the
seizure of Sigri as an act of war against
her, while at the same time she would
not recognize the right of England to
make the seizure, which, however, re
mains to be confirmed."
At the Russian legation all was diplo
matic reserve and silence, though the
secretaries looked as thongh something
grave had come to their knowledge.
MRS. LOGAN TALKS.
Republican Success Only Certain if the
Party Is United.
Jolikt, Sept. 14. Mrs. John A. Logan
was here today. In the course of an in
terview she said :
Blaine is the popular man within the
ranks of the republiean party, but it is a
question whether he can placate or
coalesce, all the divisions of the repub
licans in the various states. He could
not do so in the past, and it does not
seem probable, with the disintegration
now going on, he can do so a year hence.
The old leaders, who won a victory for
the party, have gone, and in their plaee
stand many whose ambition and avarice
overleap their patriotism and loyalty to
the party. Do I think the republicans
will win in the coming campaign? Cer
tainly, if united, but if they can't unite
in Illinois, a single state, how can you
expect them to unite in all the states?
They seem to be falling to pieces of their
own weight, and through their diversity
of opinions an efforts I can hardly fail to
see the signs of the times. Yes, I re
gard a democratic success as more pos
sible, unless the republican malcontents
put their shoulders to the wheel and
work for patriotic motives, as was the
case under the old leaders.
