St." Ixuis, June 4. The convention
came to order at the" appointed hour.
The permanen t organization was affected
by chosing Hon. George L. Converse of
Ohio; president i Horace Davis, of Cali
fornia, senior vice-president, with an '
additional vice-president from each state,
and an executive committee on the same
basis ; and secretaries . I.' H. McAdam
and J. C. Broadwell. - Mr. Converse, on
Assuming his duties, thanked the con
vention for the honor, conferred, and
then, reverting to the objects of the con
vention,' declared the building of the
Nicaragua canal was as necessary as the
casting of the cannon or the building of
ships in the time of war, ana for that
reason, as well as being a commercial
necessitv, the government should have
control of so great a waterway, which, it
is felt, should be . constructed at once;
These remarks were received with great
applause.; The report of the " committee

fruit Shippers Complain.
Yakima", June, 4. The Northern Pa
cific railway company complains that
Yakima fruit shippers are not particular
enough about the packages in which
they ship their fruit and other products.
To this a shipper replies that last year
he shipped a crate of watermelons to
friends in Montana. . He paid several
dollars for the melons, had a new and
strong shipping crate built, put up the
balance of his money and mortgaged
several years of his life to pay the trans
portation charges, and then waited
patiently to hear encomiums on the ad
mirable qualities of the Yal"noa water
melons. One lone watermelon arrived
at its destination.. There was no crate
to it and it was cracked, and passed by
the brakeman and railroad employes on
Account of being unwholesome, and so,
in line with tne officers ot tne Northern
cine, -ne wonld advise snippers to use
more precaution. Tney should thor
oughly investigate the good qualities of
the various sales, procure a. time lock,
and then take their chances.

Want the Pheasants. ,
CotKAxv Wash.,' " June 4.-Several
sportsmen of this city are at work upon,
a proposition to introduce Chinese
pheasants into Whitman '. county. .. The
plan is to secure- several "pairs of these
birds from Oregon, and build a yard for
them where they will be cared for anfl
I allowed to increase until a sufficient
number is secured, when they would be
turned loose and protected "by law; until
such time as it was thought they '' were
thick enough, when they would be pro
tected in their season, the same as other
game birds ar.t wThey are very "umer-
I ous in Oregon and are one ' of the ' finest
of birds. The' pheasants are as large as
an ordinary chicken," with very white
meaty.lt is estimated that the, cost, ot
procuring enough of tte birds to make
the start and making a 'yard to take care
of them in would be about IltHJ.

' Strike in Okanogan.
' Spokake, June 4. News of a rich free
gold strike on the Similikamen river,
about a mile and one-half south of the
British line, has reached this city. The
mineral is found in quartz ledges which
stand out like huge reefs against the side
of the. bluff trending north and south
and being exposed, showing the ledge to
be 300 feet wide. H. Ballard of Con,
conully, a well known-engineer,' arrived
iffthe city- last r nth-svad. gave an ac
count of the discovery. He said that
the ledge was bonded to F. W. Dunn
about SO days -ago,, but the reports of
value did not reach Conconuily until : a
few days ago, ; Seventeen claims have
been located and large numbers of. men
are going to the scene of the strike daily,
Mr. Ballard said that he has often driven
! over the ground, and about "a year ago
broke out some rock from the ledge and
t carried it to Conconuily, intending to
assay it, but he thought that the ledge
was too large, "it it nad been .a - ledge
three feet wide," said he, "I should have
tested it." The property.is easy of access
and is the subject of much discussion.

The President's Strength.
Minneapolis, . Tune . 4. Thirteen
states have instructed their delegates to
cast their votes at Minneapolis for the
renomination of President Harrison.
These are Alabama,' Arkansas, Florida,
Illinois, Indiana", Kentucky, Maryland,
Mississippi, Missouri, South Carolina,
Nebraska, South Dakota, and . Texas.
These states will cast 290 votes in the
convention.' The president would lack
135 of a majority if he had to depend on
them alone. .But in the 31 'States that
have given no instructions there are
Harrison delegates as earnest and as
firm as those from Indiana and Illinois.
The uninstructed delegates number 598.
It is gratifying to find that the custom
of instructing delegates has so far fallen
into disfavor that nearly two-thirds of
the delegates are free from such dicta
tion. ;A11 schemes to stampede the con
vention.' for Secretary Blaine' are, now
practically abandoned.., The, promoters
of these plots admired ' Mr. . .Blaine,' but !
they, admired themselves., mors,, They (
hoped to,. promote . personal aims by
creating confusion ' in the republican
ranks.! ; They desired to create ehniity
between the president and Mr." Blaine
in the . hope' that an Open quarrel, might
ensue which they could turn to account.

cepted his better of declination in good
faith, -and -bestowed their support n

has done well to respect this course, and
in so doing has followed the, dictates, .of
honor as well as courtesy. , V
Mixneapoj.is, June 4. If another
letter is not forthcoming from Blaine
within thirty-six hours it ift impossible
to predict what the convention will do.
The intensity of the situation maybe
understood when it is stated thatjrepre
sentatives of the associated " press are
questioned every hour by anxious party
leaders as to whether any declaration
has been made, or is expected, at Wash
ington from Blaine. The" contest is
growing in interest hourly. Men are be
coming unduly excited. Factions are
begining to - say ' harsh things. Non
partisans are beginning to fear the re
sults of the campaign, which ever wins.
Either by or against his will Blaine's
friends have forced him into the position
of a passive candidate, and the Harrison
people are not unnaturally saying many
caustic things about the secretary's
position, insisting that good faith will
compel him to write another letter of
declination. V
The Blaine leaders are workine hard
to bring about a break to him from Har
rison instructions in hope that it will be
accept sd as a preceddot v by - other in
structed delegations, with the result of
further breaks to the man from Maine. ,
Wherever possible this will be' helped
along by the argument that Harrison in
structions were only given on the sup
position that Blaine would not be a can- ,
didate, and that the strong Blaine senti
ment in their state will now justify them '
in ignoring the instructions given under
these misapprehensions.

Harrison headquarters this morning;
were those of Powell Clayton, of Arkan , :
