THE PARTY PLATFORM
It Declares for the Single
Gold Standard.
ENDORSES POPULAR SENTIMENTS
Senati r Taller on the Floor of tn Con
vention Saye a la Forced Oat
of the Party.
St. Loots, Jane 18, 10:20 a. m. The
platform haa been presented to the con
vention by the committee on resolutions.
It declares for the single gold standard,
opposes the free coinage of silver, favors
protection to American industries, op
poses the 08e of public money for sectar
ian purposes, favors liberal pensions, is
for interposition for peace in behalf of
Cuba and for the restriction of foreign
immigration to those who cannot read or
write.
Senator Teller was recognised by the
chairman at 11 o'clock. He said if the
platform was accepted as read he will be
forced out of the party by the" adoption
of the plank relating to the single gold
standard, and said be might never ad
dress a Republican convention-again.
The Illinois delegates have agreed to
support Hobart of New Jersey for vice
president. A strong impression now prevails that
McKinley and Morton will be nomin
ated. '
BEGINNING TO PACK FISH. -
The Militia Afford Protection to the
Salmon Caanerles. -
Things are Quieting down at Astoria,
according to a dispatch to The Telegram
from the seat of war yesterday afternoon.
The militia is encamped in the custom
house and court house yard, and have
not been molested.
There is less talk of strike and less
sneering about a "4-cent militia," and
more evidences of business.' The benefit
of the presence of the soldiers is begin
ning to be evidenced by the reeuinption
of operations by all the lower river can
neries. The fishermen are going to
work unmolested.
A petition was circulated in Astoria
last evening asking for the withdrawal
of the militia. The petition excited no
attention among the citizens of the
town.
The dispatch to this paper this after
noon says that large numbers of men are
getting ready to go to work. It says :
"Most of the fish now being packed
are brought from . the upper river, but
each cannery reports this morning that
their gill-net men are gradually giving
ont, and tnere is every prospect that be-
vfore many days all the men who want te
fish will be openly drifting on all sec-
. tions of the river. The large quantity
of fish now coming' oyer from Baker's
bay are being caught ..by gill-net men,
whereas up to two days ago there was
not a gill-net in the water below Tongue
point."
A private letter received from a mi
litiaman says they -are comfortably -encamped,
but that they are experiencing
some little difficulty in accustoming
themselves to hardtack, coffee and
canned beef. . '
Forty rounds of ammunition were dia
- tributed to. each of the men before the
Harvest Queen landed at Astoria.'
By tomorrow it is thought between
200 and 300 fishermen .will be operating
their nets. Sensational- rumors; ''were
published in the morning paper of an
attempt bv the influential cannerymen
to bribe the fishermen to compromise
and go to work at 4 cents. . '
In connection with the presence of the
militia at Astoria it is interesting to note
the tone of the alleged news sheets of
Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
T&fFI IBM
the town and how they lash themselves
into a furious excitement over the affair.
The reproduction in miniature of the
headlines of the evening paper that the
authorities ordered to cease inciting' the
fishermen by displaying sensational
placards reads as follows :
IMPERIOUS TYRANNY,'
The City of Astoria Disgraced by Offic
ious Officials.
The Citizens of Our Recently Proud
Town Indignant and Angry.
The Action of the Mayor and County
Judge Denounced by Nearly All.
Sheriff Hare Was Kept in ignorance of

EARTHQUAKE IN JAPAN.
Over One
Hundred Thousand Llvea
Were r.oat.
Yokohama, June 17. News of a terri
ble earthquake, involving the loss of
over 100,000 lives, has reached here
from, the island of Yes so, which con
tains the northern provinces of Japan,
including' Shirebesee, Osbima, Fori,
Hitaka, Tokachi, Ishikari, Kirechiro,
Teshiwo, Kilatm and Nenioro. All these
sections of the island seem to be in a
more or less shaken condition.
The subterraneous disturbance lasted
about 20 hours, and. during that period
the utmost terror prevailed.
Ground rumblings are described as re
sembling the roar of distant cannon
Shock followed shock almost in uninter
rupted succession. In all it was esti
mated that 150 shocks occurred. It is
impossible at present to give accurate
details of the disaster, as communication
between the mainland of Japan and the
island of Yesso, from which the former
is separated by the Straits of Tsugarn
Saigrrpi.i s interrupted, or more likely,
in the hands of the authorities.
The whole town of Kumaishi, how
ever, is reported as destroyed by a tidal
wave, which accompanied . the earth
quake. ' The island of Yesso has in the
past had several similar visitations, and
contains a number of active and extinct
volcanoes.
Rumor has it that the number of lives
lost and the damage done is far in excess
of the figures contained in the first dis
patch. A full official report has been
asked for and is expected shortly. It is
feared that disasters to shipping must
have resulted from the tidal wave.

The readers of this - paper will be
pleased to learn that there - least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all ita stages, and
that is Catarrh.. Hall's Catarrh 'Cure is '
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti
tutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood und mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease,, and giving the
patient strength by building up the con
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they
offer One Hundred - Dollars for any case
that it faila to cure. Send for list of
