Washington, June 17. It is
learned at the navy department

night to receive some supplemen

concern matters of detail and are
intended to insure uniform and
harmonious action between state,
treasury and navy department

clusively to the treatment of the
poachers after seizure. The vessels
were all ordered yesterday after

posed, have started leforc. now.
The Thstis will proceed at once to
the point to notify all sealing ves

murder for the purpose of rob
bery. Two men, whose names
are uuknown, aged 25 and 43
years, stopped at Westmoreland's
to boy s jme corn, ottering to pay
for it with a $20 bill. Westmore
land could not make tiie change
but gave the etrangers tlie corn, at
the same time asking them to stay
long enough to go into the wood
and shoot some turkeys. The
proposal was accepted. When
about three miles from Westmore
land's bouse, the strangers, being
in advance of the party, were
tired upon by the six men and in
stantly killed. The bodice were

ternoon from the scene of the
crime, having in charge John
Bird, John Cagle ami Bud West

MOTES AND COMMENTS.
H. B. Hendricks, who is inter
ested in the new oat discoveries
on the Deschutes, says that he has
received backing which will enable
him to undertake the development
of the mines in order to test the
quality of the coal.
Mrs. lora Lyons, ot Salem, who
has once before lieen an inmate of
the state hospital for insane, has
been recommitted. Mrs. Pyra
Rudolph, an old lady who has made
her home with Mrs. Ellen Savage
in Salem, lias been committel to
the poor house.
The tug Mendel 1 has been en
gaged for the past week in making
soundings at the mouth of the Co
lumbia at low tide. There have
been some very long runs out, and
the lowest water found when the
tide was out below zero, was near-
Ij twenty-four feet.
John Kisling, who lives nine
miles east of Salem, while endea
voring to catch a horse in his pas
ture, was kicked by the horse in
the lower part of the abdomen,
from the etiects ot which he died.
Mr. Kisling was 00 years and (i
months of age; was native of Swit
zerland. He leaves a wife and five
children.
The oil men at Hubbard are
having ill luck. They first broke
the drill and have just got it out.
Now they find the piping is broken
and unless they can get it out a
new hole will have to be drilled.
They have only gone down about
150 feet, and no indication of oil
have been found. However, they
they are not discouraged, says the
Woodburn Independent, as tbey
did not expect to develop any that
near to the surface.

animous by Acclamation.
Coi.umbi s, June 17. The second
day of the republican convention
opened with prayer, after, which
the report of the committee on
credentials was presented and ad
o;ted. The committee on perman
ent organization rejiorted tbe
name of General Buehnell for per
tuanent chairman of the conven
tion. His address was brief.
Nominations was then decided in
order, and ex-Governor Foraker
arose to present the name of Win.
McKinley for governor. When he
appeared the delegates fairly went
wild with enthusiasm. He said:
(entlemen of the convention : 1
have now the most pleasing duty
to perform. This contest upon
which we are about to enter is to
lie in some respects of au unusual
character. Not only is the gov
ernorship of Ohio at stake, but the
contest involves more than t'le
governorship, more than the gen
eral assembly, more than tne pub
lic institutions. It reaches into
national politics. He then enum
erated reasons tor the course to be
pursued, giving complimentary
mention of General Harrison,
James G. Blain, Senator Sherman,
Charles Foster, and adding:
Ohio is the lookout mountain of
political battles upon which nearc
entering, and William McKinley,
jr., is the Joe Hookerof the repub
lican party, and we are the boys
who intend to follow him up its
steep and rugged mountain sides,
and help him plant tlie flag of re
publicanism in triumph there, and
next year, inspired by this glori
ous achievement, all the columns
from Maine to Oregon will be
turned against the enemy ; and as
to them it wi'l be Bragg in 1S(:. I
Their lines will be broken, and
before the resistless onslaught
they will be swept back, into the
depths of defeat and despair. 1
move, Mr. Chairman, the rules of
this convention be suspended, and
that by acclamation we nominate
a our candidate for governor that
brilliant statesman, soldier and
orator, William McKinley.
Colonel Robert Harlan, the col
ored orator of Cincinnati, second
ed McKinley's nomination "on be
half of the colored voters of Ohio."
With wild cheers of affirmation
the convention declared ' Major
McKinley nominated for governor,
and a committee was appointe t to
apprise him of his nomination and
escort him to the hall His ap
pearance was tbesignal for another
outburst of enthusiasm.
Major McKinley responded with
a letgthy speech accepting tbe
nomination.
A platform was adoptt d and
Andrew L. Harris was nominated
lieu tenant-governor.
LOVE NOT GERMAN' V.
German Regulations Cannot Hold
the Vonng Frenchmen.
Berlin, June 17. The strength
ening of the garrisons in Alsace
and Ixirraine is being rapidly
pushed. One reason for this is
that the soldier are required in
increasing numbers as sentries,
etc., to enforce tbe passport regu
lations with the new rigor recootly
infused by the kaiser, but, not
withstanding the sentries and
their instructions, the Alsatians
and Lorraincrs continue to pine
for Frc-nce and to lose no ready
opportunity to deceive their con
querors and prove their contempt
lor German officialism. It is said
that not less than one-third of the
young men of Lorraine are now in
tbe French armies, and ardent for
the war that may liberate the ter
i itory fevered from France.

from this place to Washington a
few vears ago. His residence at
the corngr of Cameron and St.

assigned. Only a few days ago bt
fore his death the matter was
cleared up. In a conversation with

thiii citv for Washington, and his
