However, the wi&h iat he pro upon the tickt was unan nous with the delegates of both funties, and the result was ''that" he" aally consented.

Umatilla county In the officiary of the convention .was represented by A. D. Stlllman, as chairman, and Joe N. Soott, as one of the assistant secre taries. Mr. Scott, although a novice In politics, proved to be very effic ient, whereas Mr. Stlllman, who, al though a young man, may yet be called a democratic wheel-horse, was a most admirable presiding officer. There, were absolutely no criticisms passed upon his work, and he has been strengthened by the manner in which lie carried himself, r- The Umatljla Delegates. :Indeed', the Umatilla county dele gation throughout, with Colonel Boyd on the platform committee, D.

Wager's speech, nominating George E. .Chamberlain for governor, was as follows: "For many weekB past I have been worrying, for fear the members of the. democratic Jiaotty in Oregon would disagree upon some question of policy, and thus weaken their chances ot success. But since. I have just witjJ nessed the adoption of a platform by! a unanimous- and enthusiastic votejj ,mv fears have been disnersed' and I feel that entire harmony will prevail?

Mr. Cox's namfe was received with a'burst of applause. Chamberlain's Acceptance. In accepting the nomination, Mr. Chamberlain said in part: "Gentlemen, I thank you heartily and sincerely. When has such an hon or been conferred upon a man in Oregon a nomination so unanimous and so enthusiastic? Never, to my knowledge. My Hps fail to speak what is in my heart. From every part of the state my friends have en dorsed my candidacy from the north, the south, the east and the west. In this case, gentlemen, I as sure you that, it -was the office that sought the man. In consideration of the ovo and esteem that has been shown me tonight, I would be indeed false to every trust if J made one false step or departed Jn the loaBt from the path of official duty. I criallenge any man to say that in all the time that I have held office In Oregon I hav Ken guilty of one dis honest act If any man can point to such an act In my life, let him. do so, and I will withdraw from this race.

Jsr j Madrid, April 12. As the young king Lf Spain will come of age in a little more than a -month, people are talking aoout the prospectB ana ior tune of Queen 'Christin. the regent.

April 12. Debate on the Cuban reciprocity bill promises to extend over nearly, If not quite all, of next week in the house. There is no disposition on the part of the ways and means people to -force an agree ment. They are content to let tne beet sugar interests registertheir pro tests. About 35 republicans will vote against he bill. If there is a vote be fore Saturday, the next measure to come up will be the anti-anarchy bill, followed by the fortification appro priation measure. The Chinese ex clusion bill will continue to occupy the attention of the senate for the early part of next week, the voting of amendments to it to begin Wednes day. The claim is made that the bill will pass, but it is admlted the vote will be close and its opponents claim it will be defeated. In the Senate. Washington, April 12. Vest began the debate in the senate today on the Chinese exclusion bill, saying he sym pathized entirely with the desire to pxclude Chinese laborers, as the Chinese coolies were political, social and industrial parasites, but he could not support the pending measure. He objected to the provision excluding the Chinese residents of the Philip pines. The venerable Missourian took occasion to comment on the bit ter words spoken in the senate, and said he hoped the north and south would continue to stand together. Amid silence, he referred with emo tion to the death of General Wade Hampton, whose memory, said Vest, would live for centuries. He wept quietly as he resumed his seat. Senator Lodge followed", in defense of the pending bill. He insisted that commerce did not exist Jn sentiment. Senator Lodge said the Chinese are not a new and malleable people and that they nevep would amalgamate. Senator Hanna read a telegraphic protest against the bill from the presidents of the Chamber of Com merce and Merchants' Exchange of San Francisco. "Now I'll read an an tidote," he remarked, a telegram from the Bartenders' Union of San Fran cisco, demanding that he vote to ex clude the Chinese. Frye read several telegrams from mercantile bouses in San Francisco, remonstrating against the bill and recommending extension of the Geary act. Senator Mitchell read a telegram from ex-Congressman Geary, who de clared nothing short of the pending measure would exclude Chinese la borers. Senator Mitchell aggressively at tacked the attitude of Minister Wu, declaring that similar conduct on the part of representatives of Italy, Ger many or other foreign governments would result in their pass-ports being asked for. Senator Hoar defended Wu, and Lodge wanted to know whether a for eign minister had a right under a treaty to enter the committee rooms of the senate and expose pending measures, as Wu had done. Senator Foraker claimed the attack on Wu was unjust. In the House. In the house the bill to' pension Mrs. McKinley with $5000 a year, passed, after objection by "Bell, of Colorado, populist, who claimed It was a bad precedent Register Land Office.
