RUSHING M1INLEY
Hanna Will Try to Close the
Convention Today.
THE GAME BLOCKED BY COM MIT EES
They Request Farther Time Senator
Thurston's Vigorous Speech Oar-.
tug the Morning Honrs.
Special to The Chronicle:
St. Louis, Jane 17. 10 :15 a. m. The
convention ball is rapidly filling. The
eilyer men eay today will be the great
day of battle on the financial issue.
While they are in a - hopeless minority
they expect to impress their views npon
the country at large through their open
advocacy of free coinage. Hanna was
greatly cheered upon eight of the New
York delegates, as they entered the hall.
10 :45 a. ni. The chairman of the com
mittee appeared and stated the commit
tee was still in session and asked for
further time. By vote of the convan
tion they were given until this afternoon
. to report.
11 :06 a. m. Ex-Senator Thurston
now takes the chair, which produces the
first general applause of the session
Uanna will attempt to rush through the
nomination of McKinley and close the
session today, but there will be a fight
on the committee of credentials report
and the adoption of the gold plank, and
the desired end will fail of its attain
ment.
11 a. m. Judge Foraker has agreed to
nominate Mr. Morton, of New York, for
the vice-president.1
11:10 a. in. Senator Thurston has
just made a speech advocating a vigor
ous foreign policy and the upholding of
the Monroe doctrine. He outlined a
policy for the extinguishment of the na
tional debt, and the rehabilitation of the
merchant marine. Speaking upon the
financial question he said that every dol
lar whether gold, silver or paper
should have the same vajue as any in
the world. He reaffirmed the estab
lished Republican policy of protection
and the more recent promulgation of the
principle of reciprocity. He was also
in favor of curbing the gradually accu
mulating power of the corporations,
(cheers.) At this point a large floral
shield marked "Nebraska" was pre
sented, which served to interrupt his
speech. At its conclusion a tremendous
volley of cheers rent the hall. The con
vention then took a recess uutil 2 p. m.
AFTERNOON.
St. Louis, JuneJ17. The convention re
assembled at 2 :45 p. m. The report of
the chairman of the committee .on cre
dentials recommended the seating of
Hlggins from the delegation of Delaware
and John Grant of Texas. The roll call
as prepared by the national committee,
says the committee has examined into
the merits of 160 cases. It recommends
that the contestants 'have a hearing and
urges the hearing of the whole 160 cases,
and says in explanation that no man
knows what their papers contain. Mr.
Hepburn, of Iowa, presented a minority
report. The credentials committee were
unwilling to accept ( the national com
mittee's report.
3 :30 p. m. The roll call was asked for
and secured. California voted solidly
against the previous question . on the
adoption of the report. The vote result
ed, ayes 568; noes 329; carried. ,
THE FINANCIAL PLANK.
The subcommittee on resolutions yes
terday resolved to recommend to the
committee on resolutions the following
financial plac fa:: ' "
"The Republican party is unreserved
ly for sound money. It caused the
enactment of the law providing for the
resumption of specie payments In 1879;
since then every dollar has been -as good
as gold.
We are unalterably opposed to every
measure calculated to debase our cur
rency or impair the credit of our coun
try. We are therefore opposed fo the
free coinage of silver, except by inter
national agreement with' the leading
commercial nations of the world, which
we pledge ourselves to promote, and un
til such agreement can be obtained, the
existing gold standard must - be pre
served. All our Bilver and paper cur
rency now in circulation must be main
tained at a parity with gold, and we
favor all measures designed to maintain
inviolable the obligations of the United
States, and all our money, whether coin
or paper, at the present standard, the
standard of the most enlightened nations
of the earth."
Senator Teller offered a free-coinage
resolution as a substitute, which was
voted down.
GO.NE TO THI FRONT.
Reached
Oregon National Guardsmen
Astoria Yesterday.
Astoria, June 16. Colonel Summers
with . his command of seven companies
of the First regiment, O. N. G... and two
3-inch and two Gatling guns, arrived on
steamer Queen about 10:30 this morn
ing. Widely different views are expressed
by the people, to most of whom the ar
rival of militia was a surprise. ' Those
in favor of law and order have expressed
unbounded ' relief that ' protection has
arrived. The radical element of the
fishermen are inclined to treat the mat
ter with ridicule and contempt. On the
sidewalk in front of their headquarters
and in several other localities appears
the legend in chalk s ' "
4)-CENT MILITIA. :
was likened to "a charge of powder dan
gerously near a match," as it was ex
pressed by an up-river traveler this
morning.
As an evidence of the attitude of mer
chants of Astoria toward strikers, the
following harangue, delivered by one of
the most prominent . storekeepers on
Commercial street to a group of rabid
strikers, was overheard in the crowded
rotunda of the postoffice, and it shows
what a dangerous feeling baa" been en
gendered toward outside interference: '
"You're all right,"boy8, holding to
gether. Don't let the cannerymen's
combination down you. You bave tbe
sympathy of tbe business public; now
stick it out. The cannerymen are with
in a half-cent of your price, and they
willl be compelled to meet your figures
yet. Don't eatch fish nor let any one J
else fish on tbe Columbia river. Fifty i
of you fishermen can whip 200 of Port
land's crack militiamen any day."
Specimens of class work and fine arts
will be on exhibition at St. Mary's
academy, Saturday and Sunday, June
20th and 21st. Parents and friends are
cordially Invited to call and examine the
above-mentioned work. iun!6 3t

The canneries this morning posted no
tices stating that they would pay 4
cents for fish, and guarantee protection
to those who want to go out.
Colonel Summers and his aids, after
inspecting various localities, have ar
ranged to go into camp upon the court
house and custom-house squares, which
face eacn other in the center ot the city
on Uommercial street. Tbe county
officers bave offered the use of their
rooms for headquarters purposes and
Collector of Customs Page has courte
ously tendered the use of the custom-
bouse.
There were no incidents on tbe voy
age down the river and no stops were
made .until Astoria was reached. Colo
nel Summers 'and his aids .'were moat
cordially received by the leading citi
zens and county officers.
Xater The troops have just marched
down to the courthouse, preceded by the
baggagd train, and have commenced to
pitch camp.
That there will be fighting in case the
men. attack the canneries, which at
tempt to start np is not doubted by
those well-informed on the situation
along the river. How well prepared
the fishermen are can only be surmised.
There have been some very 'absurd re
ports to the effects that arms have been
shipped down 'the river within the past'
few weeks, and that ammunition has
been furnished the strikers." The men
who desire to go to 'fishing at 4 or
cents, as has' been offered! will fish un
der the protection of the militia and the
moment there is a contact between : the
strikers and the military authorities the
outbreak will occur.

California Delegates Bave Not Given
Up tbe Battle.
St. Louis, Mo., June 16. The Cali
fornia delegation met today prior to pro
ceeding to the convention, and on mo
tion of Congressman Johnson, decided
by a rising and unanimous vote to stand
for the free and unlimited coinage of
silver to the last, and to follow Teller in
all things on tbe financial question,
stopping short only of walking out of the
convention hall after the convention's
action on the platform. Johnson was
also instructed to go before the commit
tee on resolutions and make an argu
ment for free silver. 'He will support
the free eilverites in a speech on floor of
the convention if given an opportunity.
Senator Warren will 'present a resolu
tion for tbe coinage of the American
silver product. '" ' ''.'
