lican side. Simpson, of Kansas, nomi
nated Thomas U. Watson, of Georgia.

228 ; Eeed, 83 ; Watson, 8. ... Mills and

Crisp was declared duly elected speaker
amid a storm of applause. The clerk
then appointed Mills and Keed as a
committee to escort the newly-elected
speaker to the ' chair, an ' appointment
that was received with applause, not un
mixed with laughter. In a few mo
ments Crisp entered with Mills and
Reed supporting him on either side,
and his ' inarch - down the- aisle was a
perfect 'ovation, the democrats risingin
a mass and giving him cheer after cheer,
and the republican members also rising.

as follows : Kerr for clerk, Yoder for
sergeant at arms, Turner- for door
keeper, Dalton as postmaster, andW.
H. Milburn for chaplain. These resolu
tions were agreed to .and the officers
were sworn in.
Press Comments. : .
New York, Dec. 8. The following is
the editorial comment of the morning
papers "on the choice of Crisp- as
speaker: ,
Herald "The object of the contest
ants has not been to elect a fitting and
well equipped Chairman Simple, but to
push the claims of Cleveland or Hill, in
the coming presidential campaign."
World "The "Choice is significant
of the doninence of the prudent spirit in
a great democratic majority."
Times "The election of Crisp by a
coalition of demagogy of Hill spoils the
mongerizing of Tammany protectionism
of Gorman and Brice, half corrupt, half
fanatical, free silver movement and the
old south must inevetably give', a pause
to the men who believed the democratic
party to be a fit instrumatelite for the
accomplishment of a tariff reform, and
for a clean and honest administration
of government. - " '- - '
Sun: ; "This result is a triumph for
the conservative forces in the demo
cratic party and a kick at mugwumps
It manes brighter prospects for electing
a democratic' president.'; ' ' -

Colombia ' Election.
Seattle, Dec. 6. The steamer Olym
pian, coming in from Tacoma at 8:30
o'clock this evening, collided with the
tug Virgie Price, which was lying at the
Coleman bunkers, near the foot of Madi
son street, .cutting the tug in two and
sinking her. The bunkers were cut in
for a distance of about eighteen feet.
The Olympian, miraculous as it may
seem, escaped without a scratch. The
Price had two immense sawlogs lying in
the water along side the tug, could not
have been more cleanly cut in two if
they had been run through by an im
mense buzz. saw. l he damage amounts
to about $9000. The steamer was valued
at $8000 and was insured for $4000. The
collision was due to a contrary wind,
which drove the Olympian into the
bunkers. The Olympian left an hour
later for Victoria. Only one wan was on
the Price at the time and he was the
watchman, who escaped unhurt.
A SATISFACTORY SHOWING.
Ore From the Poorman Mine Assays
Profitable.
Brownsville,. Or., Dec. 7. Messrs.
Robe and Standish have just returned
from the mines, and work on the Poor
man has been suspended for the season.
The tunnel is in on the ledge 300 feet
and is : 150 feet deep. The lead ore
shows more gold than ever, and from
assays returned Irom Salt Lake City it
carries gold in paying quantities, besides
considerable silver.' The sulphurets
sent there carry nearly $200 per ton in
gold, showing conclusively that some
thing, ditterent tnan copper plates is
necessary to save the gold. Work will
be resumed on this mine early next sea
son, although just what kind of reduc
tion works will be erected has not been
decided upon. Located in California,
Nevada, Idaho or any other mining
country instead of the Cascades, with
its present showing and advantages, it
would readily sell for hundreds of thous
ands of dollars now without another dol
lar being spent upon it.
