. -Henry Watterson; the well-known
editor of the Courier-Journal, who is
traveling in Europe,-looks upon , the
approaching election in .this country
as beine a scramble for offices more
than a vindication of any well-defined
principle. To a London newspaper be
aid a few days since: "
'If the republicans come in they
will find themselves as little able to
settle questions as the democrats have
been in the last three years. For a
moment the democrats seem to have
gone to pieces, but when the offices
are distributed next year and the bat
tle and resentments begin and the re
publicans go to pieces, then there will
be a complete redistribution of party-
forces and there will. be--e great and.
conclusive tet in 1900. between sound
and unsound theories- of 'government
and finance. -The coming general elec
tion will be largely a struggle ' for of
flees." ''.- -. '
Mr.' Waterson's idea seems to be
about correct." The democrats will en
deavor to retain their grasp upon, the
official patronage of the government by
flirting with free silver and tariff re
form, while the republicans are en
deavoring to get the. offices away from
them bypledging.themselves to a gold
standard, high protection and reci
procity, and the populists will come in
for their share of the spoils with a de
claration for' free coinage and unlim
ited issue of paper currency.
- The present indications are that tne
republicans have the best of the scram
ble, and will likely be awarded the
booty at the November election, unless
the populists shall lay aside some of
their isms, and endorse the nominee
"of the Chicago convention, thus con
solidating the free silver vote of the
cation. In this event there could and
would be a fair expression of the peo
ple on the money question and it would
be Anally settled. But if there are
two free silver parties contesting
against one gold party, it will be noth
ing but a scramble for office, and the
financial question will remain unset
tled another four years.
CLEVELAND'S APPEAL.
It has often been repeated that the
people of the- Eapt do not realize or un
derstand the sentiment of the South
and West with reference to the money
question- Because they favor the
gold standard, thy believe all sections
of the country are with them. In this
jhjey are decidedly mistaken. The
idea that the' free coinage of nil er
would prove benefioial to their condi
tions has seized upon the minds of a
large majority of the people who re
side south of Pennsylvania and west
of the Mississippi river, and until it is
given a test, they will not be convinced
of the contrary. Those who live in
the New England and Middle states
cannot realize bow firmly this idea is
engrafted into the minds of the people
living in other sections. They are
enwrapped in their belief that- all
should view matters as they do, and
w Jl not be convinced otherwise.
President Cleveland is thoroughly
embued with this idea, hence he ad
dressed the following appeal to the
democrats of the nation, which, though
it is patriotic and sound in judgment,
will not be heeded when the natiom-1
convention assembles at Chicago on
July 7 th:
lave trade no figures ato tie
probable action of delegates already
chosen or to be chosen to the demo
cratic national convention, but I re
fuse to believe that when the time
arrives for deliberate action there will
be engrafted upon our democratic
creed a demand-for the free, unlimited
and independent coinage of silver.
"I jannot believe this besiuse I
know tho democratic party is neither
uo patriotic nor foolish, aad bssiuje it
seetns so clear to me that such a course
will inflict a very great injury upon
every interest of our country which it
has been the mission of democracy to
advance, and will remit in lasting dis
aster to our party organization.
"There is little hope that as a means
of success this free silver proposition,
after its thorough discussion during a
political campaign, will attract a
majority of the voters of the country.
It "must be that many of the
illusions Influencing those now relying
upon this alleged panacea for their ills
will be dispelled before the time comes
for them to cast-their ballots which
express their sober second thousrht.
"The adoption by the democracy
t'lis proposition would, I believe, give
to our opponents an advantage, both
in the 'present and the future," which"
they do not deserve.
."My" attachment to true democraoy
Is so strong that I consider Its success
as Identical with the promotion of the
"country's good. " ' "
'This ought sufficiently to account
for my anxiety that no mistake be
made at our party convention. In my
opinion no effort should be spared to
secure such action of the delegates as
will avert party demoralization.
"It is a place for consultation and
comparison of views, and those demo
crats who believe in the cause of sound
money should there be heard and be
constantly In evidence.
"A cause worth fighting for is worth
fighting7 for to the end. If sound,
money democrats Buppose there is dan
srer of a mistake being made, such
danger should stimulate their activity
in averting it instead of creating dis
couragement.
."l am very far from arrogating to
myself a controlling influence upon
the policy of my party, but as an nn
flinching democrat who has been
honored by his party, and who desires
hereafter no greater political privi
leges than to occupy the of private in
its ranks, I hope I may not be blamed
for saying this much at this time in
the interest, as it seems tome, of the
grand old organization, so rich in hon
orable traditions, so justly proud of its
achievements, and always so un
daunted and brave in its battles for
the people's welfare."
WEO WILL EE DISAPPOINTED?
The fact that the millionaire manu'
facturers of the east have contributed
many thousands of dollars to bring
about Mckinley's nomination, and
that they stand ready to furnish ten
times as much to insure bis election,
ought to be proof to the American
people that these manufacturers have
a selfish interest in the success of the
party of high protection, says the
Baker City Democrat. These benefl
claries ol a high tariff expect to re
ceive their money back increased many
fold.
How will it -be done? Manifestly by
higher prices received lor tuelr pro
ducts. It is generally admitted that
clothing is from & ' to 50 per. cent
cheaper under thf Wilson law than
under the McKinley law. What is
true of clothing is true of hundreds of
other manufactured articles. : - The
manufactures expect that as soon as
McKinley's duties are re-imposed that
they will be enabled to raise the prices
of their goods, and thus force millions
of consumers to pay them tribute by
this system of indirect bounties.
'. But it is doubtful whether the peo
ple will submit to this increase in the-
cost of living without grumbling. Th
experience, though costly, will teach a
valuable lesson.' Thousands who sow
believe tb at foreigners pay our tariff
taxes will realize how basely they have
been duped.- They will see that the
tariff is a tax no less burdensome be
cause Indirect. They willbegln to
doubt the wisdom of attempting to
make a people mora'prosperous by in'
creasing taxation. -
To increase indirect taxes is McKin
ley's only remedy for the cure of this
nation's financial His. : The pernicious
system that has Lrought about the ex
tremes of wraith and poverty that we
see in this country-is to be revived and
extended in order to relieve the poor.
'The millions of people who are pin-
n in e" their faith to this remedy for bard
times will be; grievously disappointed,
The farmer who votes to place a higher
price on the clothing and the imple
ments he has-to buy wiljget thereby
no higher price for his wheat. He
will still have to meet the competition
of Russia, India, Egypt, Australia and
Argentine, and to sell his wheat ac
cording to tho price of his surplus in
Liverpool. He will pay tribute to
eastern manufacturers without any op
portunity to recoup by exacting trib
bute of any other class. He will be
ground between the upper and nether
mill stones of high prices for what he
has to buy and low prices for what he
has to sell. He will sell in the free
trade markets of the world and buy in
a restricted, high-priced home market.
The people may need another lesson
on the true inwardness of MlcKinley-
ism, and if so they should have a thor
ough one.
The cartoonist ' employed on the
Oregonian is evidently something of a
satyrist. In Sunday's enition be re
presented the republican party as a
monster elephant, carrying McKinley,
and bad caused it to turn its back
to the gold plank, endeavoring with
its caudal appendage to pull the plank
out of the protection platform. We
has not supposed the republican were
trying to smash their platform so early
in the battle, but the Oregonian Is tho
organ of the party, and voices Its
aentlmcnts quite explicitly.
TEE SUN AVEIFT. . . . .
The New York Sun, which has posed
as a democratic paper almost for ages,,
but which has been more damaging to
the democratic party than the most
radical republican paper published in
the country, has for the past year been
trimming its sails to support Morton
for the presidency, but the St. Louis
convention knocked the wind out of
its sails by nominating McKinley, and
now the poor, old Sun is adrift. It op
posed Cleveland's administration from
the beginning, for the simple reason
that he was nominated and elected
contrary to the wish of its austere
editor, who desired in 1892 to pose as
a dictator, but found himself in the
wrong pew.' And now, since his
counsel was not herded by the repub
lican national convention, and Morton
was turned down as it wer, he en
deavors to steer his frail barque around
into line with democracy, and wails
about the St. Louis nominee, the past
administration, and the future duty of
the democratic party as follows:
"The republicans have nominated
VfcKinley, with unanimity not ex
pressed for any successful new candi
date, with the sxception of Fremont,
the first republican candidate, in 1356,
and Grant, the third, in 1S68. They
alone were nominated for a first term
on the first ballot.
"It Is a shall w view which supposes
that this extraordinary demonstration
bas been a mere matter of manipula
tion and forehandedness in the minutiae
of convention politics. An amiable,
engaging, showy, but rather shifty
commoplace like McKinley otien
reaches public distinction; but person
ality or individual achievement hasn't
drawn to him the sentiment which bas
made hie nomination possible with an
irresistable majority in the republican
national convention. The fortune of
a name has given him the unrivalled
prestige of representing beyond any
other republican, the reverse of the
disastrous, aimless, and utterly un
American politics of Grover Cleveland.
Men like Thomas B. Rsed and Levi
P. Morton, McKinley's superiors in.
both mind and character, have lost in
the lottery, and McKinley has won
Clevelandism has made McKinley, and
we may be thankful that in the
violence of the reaction it has made
nothing worse.
"What is the democracy to do under
these extraordinary circumstances?
The republican platform is for gold
It Is unassailable before the American
people. The republican platform
for protection. The existing tariff, by
which a large portion of the demo
cracy think the party should stand
was avowedly for protection through
the lips of Chairman Wilson, when he
first laid it before the house of repre
sentatives fresh from the White House,
After the repudiation of the declare
tion of the Chicago platform that pro
tection is constitutionally impossible.
it is no time for hair-splitting over
schedules. The difference' between
protection or incidental protection, or
between free wool and taxed sugar, as
Mr. Cleveland bas it, ana free sugar
and taxed wool, as McKinley had it
cannot constitute an intelligible issue,
The democrats must adhere indomit
ably to the 1892 platform of a 'tariff
for revenue enly,' or let the tariff sink
out of sight.
-"The democratio party, howeyer.
has a function to perform of greater
importance to itself and to the country
than the carrying -of an ' 'election re
curring every four years. It must re
deem itself. It must make itself again
known - and accepted as the party of
equal-rights, of party government, of
republican ideas, and of political
stability, or all that Jefferson labored
for and all that his successors have
achieved in the democratio name will
be lost or credited to other parties,
And by just so long as the need of this
regeneration fails to be recognized
the beginning of democratio restora
tion will be delayed."
EELP . MRUM OUR NEIGHBORS
In the past The Dalles has plaid
"lone band" in the effort to secure the
opening of the canal and locks at the
Cascades; but now our neighbors to
the east are becoming interested in
the matter, and are as desirous to
see this end accomplished as we have
been la the past. The farmers and
business men of Sbermen, Gilliam and
Morrow counties are awakening to the
fact that they must haye cheaper
freight rates than they have been able
to obtain from the railroad, and that
this may be secured, a company hag
been organized for the purpose of
building a portage road around the
dalles to connect the Upper and Middle
river,
They realize, however, that such a
portage can avail them little so long
as the locks at Cascades remain closed,
for the one boat on the Middle river
cannot handle" all their products, hence
they must Interest themselves in the
completion and immediate opening of
the locks.
8ince there will soon be an abundance
of money available for this work, our
neighbors to the east will stand
shoulder to shoulder with The Dalles
in demanding that the work be pushed
with all possible expediency so that
the locks can be operated this fall.
That there may be no delay, it Is ad
visable that those who are interested
insist that the ordinary methods of
awarding contracts be dispensed with,
for if they are not, it will require more
time' to let the contract . than
it will to perform the work. If
work is commenced as soon as the
water is out of the way, the walls that
are considered unsafe can be completed
within two months, at an estimated
cost of $20,000, but if bids for contract
are advertised and all the customary
red tape gone through with, the award
ng of the contract will likely be de
layed from six to twelve months
Hence it is to the interest of all that
we insist that the work be done either
direct by the war department, or on
the basis of the old contract for the
work that has already, been finished,
and that specified time for its comple
tion be insisted upon.
A FALLACIOUS PRINCIPLE.
The "sap" that is thrown out in tho
republican national platform to the
sugar raisers, condemning the present
administration for not extending boun
ties to sugar raisers, is the sheerest
kind of rot, for it Is (he advocacy of a
theory that cannot but result in the
worst sort of class legislation. The
idea of paying bounties on the produc
tion of any commodity Is wrong be
cause it cannot be extended to all. It
la taking from one industry to enrich
another. There is no justice in giving
the sugar planter of the south a bounty
on what he produces unless the same
favor could be extended to every In
dustry in the country. There Is do
more justice in the government pay
ing a bounty on sugar than there
would be on paying a bounty on wheat.
One is just as necessary to the comfort
and welfare of the people as the other.
In fact wheat is the more necessary of
the two articles. Flour we must have,
while sugar can be dispensed with,
and if anybody is entitled to a bounty
on his product it is the wheat raiser.
It would of course be a nice thing,
If it were possible, to place a bounty
on every product of the country, but
that is impossible, since the govern
ment ha9 no means of obt lining money
with which to pay bounties except by
taxing the people, and the system, if
extended to all products, would only
be taking money from the neople today
in order to giv it back to them tomor
row, and burdening them with the
cost ot collecting and distributing
The system of bounties is one of the
most fallacious ever invented, and was
never intended for anything only to
cotch votes and increase the burdens
of an already over-taxed people. It
had its origin in the pernicious idea of
government paternalism, and can
never be adopted with justice, for it
results in taxing the people generally
for a purpose from which they cannot
be benefitted. It is un-American, it is
wrong, and can never meet with favor
from the masses, because it is a tax
for the benefit of clashes.
EENIiY M. TELLER.
Outside of Cleveland, McKinley and
Han na, there is not a man in America
today that is attracting more attention
or is more generally talked about than
Senator Teller, of Colorado. He is on
everybody's tongue, and many silver
advocates regard him as their
patron saint. Though Teller has not
sprung into prominence by a mush
room growth; -he has been attracting
attention for a number of years on ac-
j count of bis strong- silver convictions
and hisforcibleexpressionB in the face
of all manner of opposition. Teller
bas probably reached the zenith of his
glory, so .far as political aspirations
count; that is, he will likely never be
president of the United States, or even
nominated for that office. ' but he is
certain to be a prominent feature in
the settling of the financial question
in this country, and must be one of the
leaders in the contest between gold
a-d silver during coming years. Of
his ability and tenacity of purpose,
Frank G. Carpenter, the noted Wash
ington correspondent says:
"The first s nsation of the day in the
St. Louis convention was when Teller
made his speech, and withdrew, carry
ing -his silver supporters with him
from the convention. Teller has a
good voice. He is iu good training.
His soul was in bis speech and his
every word was heard. His utterances
were so manly and so honest that
they commanded even the applause of
gold men, and when he left many a re
publican felt like crying. ' There are
few more lovable characters than that
of Henry M.. Teller, and there are few
men ot such Inflexible honesty. He
has for years fought for silver. He has
refused public honors on account f
his faith, and he comes of that material
which will burn at the stake rather
than do what it thinks is wrong.'
"tie -was a United states senator
when President Arthur offered him
the secretaryship of the interior. He
refused to take at first on account of
his friends, who were candidates for
the same position, and even after they
had urged him to accept it he would
not go into -the cabinet without a
thorough understanding that he was
to think and act as be pleased. He
said to Arthur at this "time "Mr.
President, I am heartily opposed to
you on the silver question. I am
against you on the Indian qeuestlon
and on the land question, and I don't
think you want me for secretary of the
interior."
A FAVORED LAND.
The North west may have some draw
backs and disagreeable features that
cannot be readily overcome, but when
compared with the disadvantages of
some other localities they slrk into
insignificance. Disastrous floods are
almost unknown on this coast. We
never have erop failures, death from
sunstroke, or devastating cyclones.
An eastern scientist has tabulated
572 tornadoes and cyclones reported in
the United States during the past cen
tury and finds that forty-three states
and territories bave been visited. Kan
sas, Illinois, Missouri, New York,
Georgia,' Iowa, Ohio. Indiana and
Minnesota, leading in the order named,
Maryland, -Delaware, Utah and the
three Njrth Pacific states, Washing
ton, Idaho and Oregon, are honorable
exceptions to the list and are reported
free from all such storms.
With the absence of such disasters
as the states farther east are subjected
to, and with our productive soil, salub
rious climate, cheap lands and varied
resources, the Northwest coast will in
the future, more than ever in the past,
attract the attention of the home
seeker. . . -
The; country is not half developed.
nor bas It one-third the residents it Is
able to support In comfort and com,
parative luxury. It is more inviting
to the investor today than any other
section In the United States, and the
time is at band when the tide of immi
gration will be turned toward the sun
set in greater volume than has ever
before been known. Whenever con
fidence bas been restored by the set
tling of the questions that are now
disturbing business, Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho will be -in to be the
bee-hive of the nation, for they present
advantages to the home-seeker that
will noi be overlooked.
It Is rather unexplainable that Mr.
Ellis, representative of the second
Oregon district in congress, should con
strue the St. Louis platform to mean
anything but a single gold standard,
and that he should find it necessary to
say 'hnt his actior , in case a free silver
bill should be introduced in enngresr,
should depend upon circumstances"
after the assurance he gave bis constit
uents that he would abide by the de
cision of the national convention.
Since he still wears a button inscribed
Dennis Flvnn and free silver" it may
be taken for granted that he will con
sider the national platform none too
binding on his conscience.
Affairs in Cuba are assuming a more
serious aspect, and that tne United
States must intercede seems almost
nevltable. Lives and property must
be protected from both the insurgents
and the Spaniards, . and the United
States is about the only government
in a position to extend the protection.
Senator Peffor is a genuine middle
of-the-rpad pupulists, and will not
listen to a union of the populist party
with the tree silver hosts of any other
party. He says tne money question is
only one of the issues before the peo
ple, and other reforms which the pop
ulists adhere to are of as great Impor
tance aa tree silver.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
The republicans condemn President
Cleveland but adopt his financial
views in their platrorm." This Is in
sincerity which is bouni' to be recog
nized by the voters at the polls.
Congressman Ellis has returned to
the state, and persists in holding that
tho St. Louis platform is a sort of 16-to-l
expression on the financial question.
He probably interprets it to mean 18
for McKinley and the manufacturers
and one for the people.
The beet sugar industry at St. Louis
was encouraged by the republicans in
their campaign declarations, but the
silver industry got it where the chciken
got the ax. If the sugar beet indus
try should be encouraged by promises
of special legislation in its behalf why
no silver, also?
During flush times Pendleton
boomed itself, or rather indulged in ex
travagance's beyond its resources, and
now has a bonded debt on which it is
payiug $1000 a month interest. Pen
dleton is oniy one of the few cities in
the Northwest that undertook to grow
beyond its resources.
Ex-Governor Russell, of Massachus
etts, will be at the Chicago convention
but not as a delegate. He goes there
to battle for the gold standard. He,
like all other Eastern democrats, cm
not believe that the national conven
tion will favor anything but the gold
standard. However, Russell is too
true a democrat to bolt even if the con
vention declares for silver.
The free silver republicans and 'pup
ulists are usiner every effort to force
Teller on the Chicago convention for
the presidential nomination. Their
efforts should be u nsuccessf ul. It would
be a repetition of the Greely combina
tion of '76. Teller might be given the
second place on the ticket, but demo
crats could never swallow him as a
candidate for president. -
There will be great changes in the
senate after March 4 next. Thirty
senators will go out, of whom thirteen
are republicans, fourteen democrats
and three populists. The senate is
now a tie on party questions. The
republicans haye forty-five senators,
the democrats thirty-nine and the
populists six. Upon the silver ques
tion the free coinage majority is from
six to ten.
Of the delegates elected to the
Chicago convention ' scarcely two
thirds are instructed for free silver, so
if the traditional two-thirds rule is
agreed to there is little possibility of a
platform being adopted, unless one
side or tbe other gives way, and cf
this there is no probability. Falling
to get a two-thirds, the silver men may
atempt to adopt the majority rule,
which would cause a disruption that
never could be reconciled.
Ex-Secretary of the navy Whitney
bas postponed bis contemplated visit
to Europe until after the November
election. He states that he will attend
tbe Chicago convention, and will there
endeavor to prevent the democratic
party from falling into tbe bands of the
silver element. Mr. Whitney believes
that free coinage would result in much
damage to the commercial interests of
the nation, and will endeavor to so
convince the delegates to the national
convention.
There is a decided shaking up of the
dry bones in the press of the nation
just now,' and one can hardly tell
"where he will be at' by next Novem
ber Some. of the Eistern papers
hitherto democratic, are backing and
filling toward McKinley because of tbe
gold declarations of the St. Louis plat
form, and the Suit Lake Tribune, here
tofore one of the ablest republican
papers in America, has come out
squarely against McKinley and gold.
Tbe East Oregonian thinks Con
gressman Ellis talks in an interview
like a man half asleep on the financial
question, and says "he had better keep
his mouth shut than allow such air es
cape as he did when talking to tbe
Portland Oregonian reporter." Really,
if we are to judge, the congressman
has been dozing on nearly every ques
tion of Importance the past four years.
At least be has not been very wide
awake on matters of interest to Ore
gon. It is estimated that the total cost of
the St. Louis convention was near
$4,000,000 and that the democratic con
vention at Chicago will cost as much.
Now who is going to' foot the bill?
Will the politicians gracefully pay it
out of their store, or do they expect to
get even after they get into office?
Politicians are not usually public ben
efactors, hence it may be expected
that the masses will eventually be
called upon to pay the convention ex
penses by indirect taxation.
THE 6TOBY OF A BBAKEMAN.
Dust-beirrlmmed, feature weather-beaten,
Hands all scarred and soiled :
Did you envy him his station.
At patiently be dally tolled
la the storm or In tbe tunsblns.
He wouldmonnttbe speeding train.
Bide a.wy atpoat ol duty ;
Heeding naUbcr cold nor rain.
In the pleasant summer weather.
Standing on the cars so high.
He could rlew the changing landscape.
As the train went rushing by;
But while he viewed the beauteous picture.
That the lovely landscape makes.
Suddenly across bis dreaming.
Would come a Quick, shrill cry for brakes.
And when winter's toy fingers,
Scattered mow flakes all arouitd.
While tbe north wind, cold and piercing.
Bushed along with shrieking sound ;
Then, behold I That gallant brakeman.
Speed to heed the engine's call.
Running o'er tbe toy car tops.
God was watching, or he'd full.
If you'd treat him fair or kindly.
He'd return y du smile for untie.
Though he' was a railway brakeman.
He was never rude or vile;
Greeting everyone politely.
Thdugh his clothes were coarse and plain.
In his fearless bosom beat a heart
That could feel both joy and pain. -
H3 had a loving wife to greet him.
When returning home eaoh day.
To welcome him back to his fireside ;
From which duty bpd called him away.
How he loved bis wife and children.
Tolling for tbem day by day.
Always bringing home a present.
Ereiy time he drew his pay.
Ii their cozy little cottage.
Waiting in the winning light
Were the luckless brakeman's family,
They expected him home that night.
Some one brought his wife a message,
God have mercy I hear her pray I
When he read tbe dreadful story,
"Bun over by the cars today."
When our fr'ends were gathered 'round us,
Little did we care orknow.
Of tte brakeman riding onward.
Where duty bade him go.
As we read our e vening papers.
Noting what each column said.
Ons brief line attracts otir notice.
"B. T. Conroy, brakeman, dead."

Venezuela Forces Invade British Posses
sion. NEW YOEK, June 23. A Herald dis
patch from Caracas says: A paper just
received from Grenada, West Indie?,
says that on the 13th inst. a Venezue
lan force crossed tu the British side of
the Acarabisi river. As they proceed
ed on their march to the head waters
of the Bar I ma river, in the Yuruari,
or gojd territory, they interfered with
the mining operations of a party of
British colonists from Demerara.
The real object of the Venezuelan
colonists, It is peported, was to reach
the mouth of the Yuruari, thus obtain
ing a commanding position in their
efforts to secure a foothold in the r:-;h
gold regions of Venezuela or Guia:.
To do this, it is supposed that they
proceeded above the Acarabisi, wni.'h
crosses the Venezuelan line betwi-n
the Acarabisi and Amacuero stations.
The government believes that thse
incidents may explain the coailict
which was first reported from TrlnWAd
as having taken place at the moi:t): i f
the Bariina river and near Bariuia
station.
Regarding the above dispatch, the
Herald publishes the following ex
planation: "The above dispatch, from the Her
ald's special correspondent In Cara
cas, probably states the cause of tbe
conflict between British aud Venezue
lan colonists in Guiana. The places
mentioned by tbe Herald's correspon
dent proves that tbe engagement took
place in the heart of the now cele
brated Yuruari territory of Guiana
which Lord Salisbury says shall not be
submitted to arbitration, as he aiHrms
that it is unquestionably British terri
tory, under the cessions of tbe original
Dutch colonists. It is in this terri
tory that gold is found In great abun
dance." Tbe Herald in recent di-patches
from its correspondent in George
town, Demerara, bas informed its
readers of the alarm of British colon
ists at the idea that Venezuela ehoul J
succeed In the mining claims, and it is
quite probable that the appearance of
Venezuelans in that region precipated
the conflict in question.

Fitted for Sea
New YORK, June 23 Unless signi
ficant signs fail, the squadron of United
States warships, Just now stationed in
the harbor of New .York, will be dis
patched soon on an important mission.
Those who should be in a position to
know say the destination will be the
coast of Cuba. Daring the last week
work on vessels has been ' doubled in
response to a special order received
from the secretary of the navy. The
nature of this order cannot be ascer
tained. Every boat of the North
Atlantic squadron, except the New
York, which is still in the drydock,
was taking in coal yesterday.
Officers admitted that services were
omitted on board tbe ship on Sutiday,
but explained it by the necessity of
making repairs so that the ships
might be in condition to take the
naval militia .on their annual cruise
early in July. .' ;

Champion Corbett Almost Defeated by
'l orn Sharkey.
San Feancisco, June 21. James J.
Corbett. champion of the world, wi s
all but knocked out tonight lu a foui
round contest with Tom Sharkey,
champion of tbe navy. The referee de
clared the contest a draw, but it Is
doubtful If the decision will be sup
ported by public opinion. Corbett
clinched SharKey throughout the en
tire fourth round to avoid punishment.
The champion was breathing heavily
and was apparently greatly exhausted
when the round closed, while Sharkey
seemed as fresh as at tbe beginning.
Sharkey even refused to stop fighting
at tbe end of the bout, and made a vi
cious rush for Corbett.
Six policemen jumped into the ring
and three officers grabbed Sharkey.
Tbe marine refused to be'restrained
and struck one of the policemen a
vicious blow. More policemen jumped
into the ring, and Sharkey was finally
escorted to his corner.
The Saratoga Convention.

who introduced Mayor John Boyd
Thatcher, of Albany, as temporary
chairman.
The committee on credentials re
ported in favor of the sitting dele
gates in every case and the report was
adopted. Contestants from Queens
and Wayne walked out amid hisses.
The platform adopted declares that
tne decline in the commercial vilue of
silver has brought about a disparity
between that metal and gold which
can only be adjusted with the co-operations
of other governments. Until an
international agreement can be agreed
upon the convention approves of the
existing gold standard.

Senator Teller would probably with
draw. Uo declined to say wbat course
be would follow, remarking that events

sage was received from Sandon, B. C,
stating that the town was surrounded
'by forest fires and threatened- with de
struction. Before further particulars
could be received, the telegraph wires
refused to work, and it is supposed
that the fire reached the line. All ef
forts to reach tbe town by wire today

feared. Sandon is a lively camp of
about 209 people, situated in the Slo

ASKED TO 1A rRVjNK.
England's Bequest Cpon tbe United
States.
Washington, June 2. Secretary
Olney received calls today from Sir
Julian Pauncefote, the British ambat
sador, and Minister Andrade, of Vene
zuela, with both of whom he conferred
separately concerning the arrest by
tho Venezuelan troops of British
Crown Surveyor Harrison, on tbe Brit
ish-Venezuelan boundary.
It is uuderstood that Sir Julian, act
ing under instructions from the Brit
ish foreign office, requested the friend
ly intervention of the United States
toward securing the release of Harri
son, as was done by the British au
thorities in behalf of the American,
John Hays Hammond.
Andrade w is the first at the depart
ment, calling before tbe usual hour
when diplomatic calls begin He was
with Olnev some time, solng over,
quite fully, the circumstances of the
Harrison incident. Tbe minister said
the affair bad been magnified and was
lacking in circumstances, seriourly in
dignity or wrong to the British. The
exjot nature of the British request
was not made public, but its essential
feature was tbe request for friendly lt
tervention by the United States. O
ing to the British-Venezuelan tioubl ,
tho British have no minister or consul
in Venezuela.
It is believed that Olney has already
taken steps to communicate with the
Venezuela government through tbe
medium of tho United States minister
at Caracas. Ordinarily: the first step
of our secretary of the state would be
to seek to ascertain for himself,
through our ministers, the exact facts,
but in view of the peculiar relations ol
the parties, he might depart so fat
from ordinary methods as to precede
this, in tbe present instance with a request-that
Harrison be roJeased anc
the status quo be thus restored to whui
it was before the arrest, it beiog under
stood meantime, that there should be
no advance on either side until the
case can be settled soberly on its
merits.
COUXTV SCKlr- VALID.
Judge EaUlu's Decision in Baker County
Cases.
Bakeb City, Or., June 23. Judge
Eakin tbis morning rendered1 a deci
sion In the county scrip cases, sus
tained the demurrers to the first and
second causes of suit, thus validating
over $200,000 worth of scrip. In . the
third cause, no conclusion has been
reached, but the court- intimates in its
ruling that it wouid hold a sratill por
tion involved in he third cause in
valid. This would probably apply to
to the warrants Issued for building
bridges and purchasing roads; also,
s jme other small scrip, issued for ex
penses, which were not absolutely
necessary in tbe conduct of county af
f tirs.
O.ut of the whole amount of scrlo is
sued and outstanding, which amouuts
t j about $250,000, this decision practi
cally holds that it Is all legsl and
valid, with the exception of not more
than $10 000, and this is still subject to
further examination. The decision is
considered a great victory for the
county, and for those who have foujrht
for the maintenance of its honor and
credit.
Silver Men convene.
DENVER, June 25. The state silver
convention was called to order at 11:15
A. M. by I. N. Stevens, member of the

Prayer was offered by Rev. Thomas
Uzzell, who asked a blessing "on tbis
convention, on the coming silver con
vention at St. Louis, and especially on
tbe convention that Is to meet at Chi
cago." Stevens congratulated the
counties on sending to Denver dele
gates to the meeting "at which there
was no pie counter In sight." He ex
pressed the hope that the Chicago con
vention would nominate a man whose
position on silver was unequivocal,
and suggested Teller as an ideal candi
date. Mention of Teller set the con
vention wild and tbe ent'iusiusm con
tinued over the names of Sibley,
Bland, Blackburn, Morgan and the
Southern free-silver senators. Tbe
convention selected H. A. W. Tabor
temporary chairman,
A Clondbnrst in Ohio.
