McKINLEY AND ROOSEVELT.
At Philadelphia on the 21st,
President McKinley was unani
mously renominated for president
of the United States by the Repub
lican national convention and an
hour later Gov. Roosevelt of New
York was unanimously selected to
stand beside him in the coming
battle.
Such UDaoimous demonstrations
in honor of nominees of a national
convention have never before been
equalled perhaps in the history of
politics in this country. It was a
love feast, a jubilee and a ratifica
tion meeting.
HEPPNER'S GUESTS.
The business men of Heppner
are alive and enterprising, and
they want all of Morrow county
to enjoy the Fourth. They have
freely subscribed the cash to pay
the expense of entertaining, and
they invite all the people of the
county to come to Heppner on the
Fourth and eirjoy their hospitality.
One of the best orators in the
Northwest will deliver the oration.
THE BOXERS. j
The storm center in world poli
tics harjgs over Pekin, the capital
of the water-logged Chinese em
pire and Tien Tain, Us seaport, 65
miles distant, one of the 13 ports
open to foreign trade, says the
Ukiah Sentiuel. The riots and
outrages involving the loss of many
lives and a vast amount of prop
erty, which have occurred m the
Yangtee valley are the work of the
Boxers, the inspiring principle of
which is hatred of foreigners and
resistance to foreign innovation.
The war cry of the Boxers is prac
tically the same as that which
Dennis Kearnev's cohorts shouted
in California a few years ago: "The
Chinese must go." The Boxers'
cry: "Death to the foreigners."
The situation at Pekin, from the
western point of view is extremely
critical. There is material in abun
dance at the capital and at Tien
Tsin for a disasterous explosion.
The western nations have landed
a force sufficient, perhaps, to pro
tect their respective consulates in
the two cities, but not large enough
to protect life and property in the
surrounding country. Russia is
the only power that has an ade
quate military force within easy
range, and the Chinese govern
ment is being pressed to call on
Russia to intervene and restore
order. All the world knows what
this means and resents it. Japan
pre-emptorally forbids it and will
oppose such a move by force, it is
said.
The Czar of all Russia is to be
congratulated on the grand success
of his late peace congress. Jle
now proposes to "restore tranquil
ity" by marching 25,000 troops to
the disturbed provinces of China
and may do it thoufih all the other
powers object. In that case, there
may be a clash in which the Box
ers and their massacres will be
forgotten, and war blaze out over
the whole world.
Heppner is xo have a glorious
Fourth of July celebration. For
the past two years its citizens have
rested while other places have
given vent to their patriotism
This year they propose to celebrate
in grand style and invite every
man, woman and child in Morrow
and adjoining counties to join with
them. Everybody who wants to
see a glorious and grand celebra
tion should avail themselves of
this opportunity , and bring their
families to Heppner. All will be
welcome.
The gentle showers of balmy
June which fall on Gilliam's hills
make farm and ranch and town
attune with pleasurable thrills of
pure dohght. With glad acclaim
we make the welkin ring and
everybody joiuH in shout proclaim
ing Wheat is King. Condon
U lobe. .
THE PLATFORM.
The national republican platform
strong, vigorous and positive. There is
no ambiguous language, no high sound
ing phrases that mean nothing. It has
a strong paragraph on the war for lib
erty, indorses McKinley, renews alle
giance to the principles of the gol
standard, opposes the free and unlim
ued coinage oi silver witnoui t tie sup
port of the leading commercial conn
tries of world, denounces trusts, favors
the associated policy of reciprocity,
more eiiecuve restriction ot undesirable
immigration, the extension of oppor
tunities of education, and the protection
of free labor as agninst convict labor
urges legislation to foster shipping
proposes a liberal policy as regards
pensions, coramonds the party's policy
in maintaining civil bo r vice, opposes
discrimination against the colored
voter, advocates that the arid lands be
reclaimed, favors a high terilf, tbe con
struction of a government isthmian
canal, commends tbe governmental
policy on foreign a ll'airs, and speaks
clearly and intelligently on the question
of our new responsibilities under the
treaty of Paris. It is in fact a republi
can document that the whole nation has
has reason to be proud of.
The platform is one that all true
Americans cau Btand on.
THE HORSE.
Dealers in horses throughout the
country are of the opinion that the de
mand for cavalry horses will continue
even after the close of the South African
war. This belief is based on the fact,
now practically admitted by British
agents in this country, that the horse
equipment of the army is deficient, and
that 50,000 horses will be required be
fore Lord Roberts has fully completed
tbe re organization of the army, which
is to be commenced when the present
hostilities cease. Fossil Journal.
Edward Blewett, manager of tbe Ore
gon Horse ana Land Company, with
ranges on the Owyhee country, says that
the sale of horses recently made by tbe
company was to Parker & Banvick, of
Illinois, and included 5000 head. Tbe
horses are purchased for the purpose of i
supplying the farmers of Iowa and
Illinois, who are suffering from a great
scarcity owing to the heavy shipments
to Europe, the Philippines and to South
Africa. .
The horses will be shipped in lots of
700. They are consigned to different
towns in those two states. Mr. Blewett
says that Dave Shea, Con Shea and
William Jones, who are large horse
raisers, nave soul tneir Morses, one
party recentlj buying 10,000 head to
ship east, where they will be resold to
the tanners.
MAILS.
From all along the line of the Hepp
ner Canyon City mail route come reports
of people furnishing labor and supplies
in connection witii carrying the U, S.
mail, and not being able to tret their
pay. It is time that the government
devised a way to protect these people
who make it poxsible for mails to be
curried. When contracts on govern
ment buildings are being paid for, the
government makes the contractor show
that the material and labor has been
paid for. It should enforce the same
sensible rule in connection with mail
contracts.
There is room fur a whole lot of im
provement in the mail service here.
Heppner and the great interior tribu
tary to it should have mail 7 times a
week instead of 0, and the service to
Haystack and Spray shonld be resumed
via Heppner, so that those people
would not have to wait four dayj o get
their m,ail as they Jo now,
HARVEST -HANDS.
The Statesman says : In view of the
fact that the-harvest season will be at
hand in two or three weeks farmers are
getting in readiness for the important
occasion. Farmers believe that harvest
hands in the Walla Walla valley will he
fewer than 'they were last year. The
number of hands now in the city is very
light and unless tbe number greatly in
creases within the next 15 days farmers
will experience much trouble in getting
their grain harvested. Toward the end
of the harvest season last year hand
were very scarce and the farmers in
some localities were compelled to pay
usutmally high wages,
IONIC ITEMS.
Iono I'oat.
Kverything seems to he favorable for
a big crop of wheat this fall. Morrow
county is coming to the front,
The wheat market is strengthening
some the lust few days with indications
that the price will soon be at a profit'
able figure for our producers. Morrow
county will soon have an abundance of
the cereal to dispose of.
Robert Hirschi, a young man of High

ago to work for Ed Keller, died Monday

WHEAT, WOOL AND STOCK.
Portland, June 2(1. The Chicago
wheat market was on the toboggan slide
yesterday, and after a tew wild gyrations
closed with a thud 4rt under Monday's
close, a net decline for the two days of
(k: per bushel. The wheat market in
Portland remains thoroughly consistent
on the question of price. It did not
follow Chicago's advance to the limit,
and it is not following the decline.
There was not much doing yesterday,
and quotations are to a certain extent
nominal, hut oDoitlOu was still ottered
for both Walla Walla and Valley. The
freight situation is unchanged, with
very high rates asked, but no transac

THE WAR IN CHINA.
Washington, June 24 A telegram
from Admiral Kempff, dated Che Foo,
June 24, says : In ambuscade near Tien
Tsin on the first, fonr of Waller's com
mand killed and seven wounded.
Names will be furnished as soon as re
ceived. " Force of 2000 going to relieve
Tien Tsin today.
Tbe secretary of the navy has ordered
Admiral Remey with tbe Brooklyn to
go to Taku and assist the army with
what troops the Brooklyn can carry.
Word reached the navy department
that the battle-ship Oregon got away
from Hong Kong last night, bound for
Taku. This is two days ahead of ber
expected start. She took on 104 sailors
and marines brought to Hong Kong by
the Zafiro. The big Bhip may now have
a chance to repeat her celebrated per
formance "around the Horn," as she is
being crowded for a fast run to tbe scene
of action. The distance is about 1500
miles, and if she makes her record time
she will be at Taku in six days, about
the same time that the Brooklvn will
arrive from Manila.
London, June 25. The position of tbe
international forces in the section of
Northern China where 1000 men are
striving to keep a footing and to succor
the legations in Pekin appears to in
crease in peril with every fresh dispatch.
Pekin lias not been beard from direct
for 14 days. The last dispatch was one
imploring aid. Admiral Seymour's
column of 2000 was last heard from 12
days ago. At. that time it was surround
ed midway between Pekin and Tien
Tsin. Possibly now it has reached
Pekin.
The 3000 internationals at Tien Tsin
were hard pressed and fighting for their
lives Thursday, and a relieving force of
less than 1000 had been beaten back to
Taku Friday. Observers on the spot
think that 100,000 men would not be too
many to grasp China firmly.
The Admiralty has received the fol
lowing from the British rear-admiral at
Taku:
Che Foo, June 23. Only one runner
has got through from Tien Tsin for five
days. No information could be obtained
except that the foreign settlement had
been almost entirely destroyed, and
that our people were fighting hard.
News is received as this telegram is
dispatched that an attempt to relieve
Tien Tsin June 23 was repulsed with
some loss.
Official Japanese telegrams confirm
the reports of a defeat of the allied
forces at Tien Tsin. The foreigners
there are now placed in a raoBt deeper
ate situation. The Russian Admiral
Hillebrad yesterday sent a mixed force
of 4000 from Taku to attempt the relief
of Tien Tsin. Nearly half of the force
consisted of Japanese. The remainder
was made up of contingents represent
ing the other nations.
The guns of the Chinese around Tien
Tsin are superior to anything the de
(ending European force has or is likely
to have for some time.
The bombardment of Tien Tsin con'
tinued Friday. Bomb sheers were has
tilv erected by the foreign troops. The
food supply is insufficient, and the con
tinued shelling is reported to be telling
terribly.
