GOLD PLANK ASSURRED
Convention Will Declare for
Soundest Kind of Money.
THE SILVER- MEN WILL BOLT
Tkt; Will rrobrbly J' at Up Teller for
President and FisU for Demo
cratic Endorsement
St. Louis, June 14. When lion.
Charles W. Fairbanks, the temporary
chairman, arrived this morning from
Indianapolis, Mr. Hanna and others
others had a long conference with him
over the keynote speech, and later, this
keynote speech was submitted to a con
ference of McKinley leaders. It Is un
derstood the keynote speech will be in
the line of the Indiana platform, which
specially shows opposition to the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1.
Senator Dubois, of Idaho, and Repre
sentative Hartman, of Montana, joined
Tenator Teller here tonight. There is
no longer any doubt of the purpose of
these radical silver men to bolt the ac
tion of the convention unless they can
have their way about the financial
plank. They realize that they are in a
hopeless minority, and they have care
fully laid their plans to walk out of the
convention. The programme they have
arranged will probably furnish the.
most dramatic and sensational incident
of the convention. They intend, as a
preliminary, to marshal all the strength
they can in the committee on resolutions
for silver. They know they will fail,
but instead of their attempting to secure
a compromise, it will be their plan so to
throw their strength in the committee
aa to force, if possible, the adoption of a
straight-out gold plank, believing that
an emphatic gold declaration will put
them in a more advantageous position
for what is to follow.
HAS VOTES lO SPARK.
McKinley Claims Six Hundred and Forty
Delegates.
St. Louis, June 13. Mr. McKinley's
headquarters have been crowded all day,
and tonight access to them was almost
impossible. Mark Hanna and General
Grosvenor, after tonight's session of the
national committee, said McKinley had
640 votes, as the contest - now stands.
Major Charles Dick, who is doing the
tabulating as the committee proceeds
with temporary conuideration of the
contests, puts the McKinley vote on the
first ballot at 633, with 460 necessary to
nominate. The opposition is keeping
lip the fight, especially the Reed, Morton
and Quay men, and Piatt is not disposed
to make any overtures.
The Grasshopper Plague.
South Bind, Ind., June 13.-Grass-hoppers
are doing immense damage in
portions of this county. Alexander
. Smith, of Center, township, has 80 acres
of wheat from which every blade has
been eaten. Another 80 acres is being
eaten ap- entire, as well as 15 acres of
potatoes and a large field of oata.
Quay's Kuu Will Be Presented.
Indianapolis, June. ,13. Governor
Hastings of Pennsylvania and party
passed through this city, en route to St.
Louis, this morning.
When Hastings was informed that
the- morning dispatches stated that
Quay's name would not go before the
convention be said :
"It is a mistake, for I am to present
his name myself. He has 60 out of 64
Pennsylvania delegates. Surely a can
didate could not complain" 'of-that
These delegates will vote for him to the
. last." - - ' , '-' "
"If McKinley is nominated, will Quay
accept second place?"
"I am not authorized to aay anything
on that point. We are going there to
nominate him for president, and not .to
make any compromises."
Highest of all in Leavening Power.
THE ASTORIA STRIKERS. -
Attempts to Commit Murder Contlnne
Flrlng; from Ambush. "
The fishermen around Astoria are still
pursuing their bloody work. ': '
Sheriff Hare of Astoria received a tele
gram from Clifton Saturday evening
stating that masked men had boarded a
fishing boat at Woody island, five miles
below Clifton, and. were throwing 150
salmon overboard. - So many boats are
now engaged in fishing np the river in
the neighborhood of Clifton that one
patrol boat is insufficient to protect
them. Arrangements were accordingly
made this evening to put on a second
patrol boat. Sheriff Hare in speaking
of the affair, said this evening:
"Just as quickly as fishermen ask for
protection'they shall have it, even if it
is necessary to cover the entire Colum
bia river within my jurisdiction with
patrol boats."
An attempt was also made to murder
a fisherman named Sam Brown, who
was fired on from shore by parties in
ambush. Sheriff Hare's patrol boat im
mediately steamed for the sppt where
the .shot had been heard, and found
Brown some distance up the sloughs,
darintr the men in ambush to come out
and give him fair fight. "You cowardly
Brown was heard to sav.
"yon dare not show your beads and give'
man a fair 6how." . The woujd-be
murderers refused to come out, however,
and Brown finally resumed fishing oper
ations. The following private dispatch
was received from Clifton tonight by
The Oregonian correspondent here :
"This morning one of the Cook's
most successful fishermen, while on his
way to the cannery, was attacked by 25
men, eome of whom were masked. After
disarming him, the attacking party
threw 150 salmon, valued at $150, over
board. This afternoon another of Cook's
men was attacked and disarmed, and 80
salmon were thrown in the river.. Other
fishermen have been fired upon within
the last 24 hours. One brave fellow
was fired upon from the shore and made
for his assailant, ho took to the woods.
Sheriff Hare has placed a posse of depu
ties, above Clifton, but this is not suffi
cient. We desire more protectionand,
to the credit of Sheriff Hare, be has
promised it." - -
All efforts to settle the fishermen's
strike through mediation of the Cham
ber of Commerce and the committee of
citizens have proved unavailing, and the
movement was entirely abandoned this
afternoon, leaving the .union complete
master of the situation, and stronger
than ever.
Two Iles Saved.
Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction City
111. was told by her doctors she had
Consumption and that there was no hope
for her, but two bottles of Dr. King's
New Discovery completely cured her
and she says it saved her life. Mr. Thos.

A QUESTION OF VISION.
Incidents Which Co to Show That. Mind
and Not Eye Sees. .
It is an admitted facttthat the eye is
the "organ of vision,'" yet there is but
little -doubt, even in the minds of" opti
cians and physiologists, that the phe
nomenon of "seeing" is chiefly, mental
in other words, that it is the mind
and not the eye that "sees."
How often have you seen a friend
who, seemingly, was engaged in look
ing intently on some object on the ta
ble, at the opposite side of the room,
or at some picture, who, on being
aroused from his day dream, would
confess that he was "looking at noth
ing in particular." The explanation ox
the fact that he saw "nothing in par
ticular" is plain enough if properly set
forth. It was because bis mind was
busy with other times and scenes.
Faces, bits of wayside scenery, and
the like, were being presented to view
in the panorama of the mind, and the
"mind's eye" or mental vision -was
engaged in eagerly scanning
of impressions made thereon -years
or k cores of years before. Again,
if you want to know whether your com
panion looked at his watch with his
brain or his eyes, ask him the time of
day after he .puts the timepiece in his
pocket. . .
PREPARED FOR EMERGENCIES.
Young Man Who Got a Clerkship In An
ticipation of Ills Prodigality. .
Here is a story that or.e of the south
ern members vouches for, according to
the Washington Post. A young man,
one of his constituents, applied to him
for a $1,000 clerkship. The member
secured the appointment, but the day
before the constituent w as to be sworn
in he came to his representative in a
troubled state of mind and said :
"Colonel, I have had $125,000 left me
by an aunt, and, my God! just think
what I have to go through again."
"Let me congratulate you," said the
representative. . .
"Jfo, don't do that," said the con
stituent; "you don't know what you're
congratulating meon."'
"Yes. I do," said the member, "for
now you can live without working."
"Colonel," said the distressed young
man, "I may as well tell you. Several,
years ago I bad $100,000 left me by an
other aunt and it took me nearly a year
to spend it. After I got through I
had to go to the hospital for six months
to get over the effects of my dissipa
tion. The reason I came to see you
to-day was to ask you to keep that
place for me until I can spend this
money.". . - ,
