The present and prospective naval Btrength of the United States, In comparison with that of foreign powers, is set forth, in the report of the house committee on naval affairs, presented today by Chairman CUmmlngs. The report states that the committee- has recently concluded not to recommend the construction of a aew battleship, because of the depleted condition of the treasury. It Is urged, however, that there must be no halt In building up the navy. England pro poses, says the report, to begin seven battleships of the first class, six cruis ers of the second class and two sloops. Italy, with a depleted treasury, Is pre paring to build three first-class battle ships, three cruisers, 12 torpedo boats and four transports. Germany, France &nd Russia are going to even greater lengths to secure the increase of their navies. The report further says: "In view of this fact It certainly would not be safe for the United States to build no more battleships. With Increasing prosperity work should go on till the American navy is strong enough to stand all exigencies." The slight -Increase proposed by the committee will certainly not burden the country with taxation during the coming year, and with renewed prosperity the work can be continued In the future without over burdening the nation. The total loss, of the Kearsar?e leaves the Hartford, Ad miral Farragut's flagship, the only ves sel in the new navy, aside from the frigate Constitution, around which his torical memories cluster. The commit tee. In accordance with the wishes of the navy department, have recommend ed liberal appropriations for her preser vation, believing that public sentiment demands It. The committee have brought into the bill a clause providing for the naturalization of alien sailors and marines who have served on vea sels for five consecutive years and have been granted honorable discharge-. The total appropriation-for the new navy l 125,000.000. . ENGLISH TRADE AFFECTED. New York, April 18. The Evening Post's London cable says: "The condi tion of American trade and the threat ened delay In passing the tariff bill are causing uneasiness here and affecting all markets. If the tariff bill is not passed quickly It Is feared that the po sition' will approach a commercial crisis. HIGHER THAN WHEAT. San Fi-anclsco, April 18.

'arlety of Subjects Touched and Some Personalities. Washington, April 18. The house de voted the entire day to debate on the consular and diplomatic appropriation WHS; lb touched a wide variety of sub jects, and at times was brlmfull of In- terebling personalities. The Hawaiian fiollcy of the present administration cam in for a good share of attention. The appointment of Aran Allen as min ister, to Italy provoked some very In teresting discussion. It was ridiculed by the Republicans, who Intimated that It wps a direct regard for his J50.000 coninouuon to tne Democratic cam paign fund. The Democrats, In defend ing jthe appointment, tried to counter on the Harrison administration by de tailing the history of the $400,000 cam palep fuhd raised by ex-Postmaster General AVanamaker. Later In the day Wise, of Virginia, took up the author ship of the quorum-counting as a par liamentary and filibustering expedient, andiquoted from the record to Bhow that the lirst proposit4on in this line hadf.been offered by J. Randolph Tuck er, i Virginia Democrat. ELECTRIC PLANT BURNED. Th';- Largest Station On the Coast f Destroyed. Sucramento, Cal., April 18.

BBSSSVSBM ' THE TICKET COMPLETED After Which the Delegates Go Down the River and Have a Good ' Time. The members of the Democratic state convention came straggling In a little late yesterday morning, and the con stant round of pleasure In which they had participated gave them a tired ex pression. ' At a few minutes after they were called to order, and on motion of the Hon. Jeff Myers, a committee was ap pointed to draft resolutions thanking the citizens of Astoria for the hand some treatment accorded the visitors. The committee was headed by Myers, and In a short, time returned the fol lowing resolutions: To the Officers and Members of the Democratic State Convention of Ore gon: We, your committee named to present to the citizens of Astoria suit able resolutions on behalf of their con vention, submit the following: Resolved. That the thanks of this convention are due, and are hereby ten dered to the wide-awake citizens of Astoria for the hospitality and good will shown to the Democracy of Oregon, to the officers and members of the As toria Football and Athletic club for the excellent exerclBes given at the club rooms for the special entertainment of the delegates to the Democratic state convention and visiting Democrats to Astoria. JEFFERSON MYI'.RS, A. TOZIER, L. S. COX, W. H. DILLARD, AV. T. WESTACOTT. The resolutions were adopted with -a whoop, and after order was restored Mr. Fenton, of Multnomah, arose and called attention to a slight error in The Astorian's report of Tuesday's proceed ings, wherein CaptAMoffett was quoted as saying that none of the candidates could be elected on that platform. What Mnffett said was "that any candidate could be elected ' on that platform." That he was clearly misunderstood, not only by all of the reporters present, but t-y many of the delegates, was apparent when cries of "Sit down" and Jeers were heard from several' quarters of the room, although many wondered at the remark, as the platform seemed to em body all of Moffett's ideas as a politi cian. Mr. Fenton stated that under the circumstances the error was excusable, and he merely called attention to It in order that Mr. Moffett, who was absent, might be set right with the convention. Mr. Huston, of Washington, then an nounced that the members of the first congressional district had elected Hon. J. K. Weatherford as their nominee, and asked the convention to ratify their work by a rising vote, which was done. Loud calls for the distinguished stand- f.rd bearer brought him to his feet, and In a brief but pointed speech he prom ised to go on to victory, or else go down to defeat as a good Democrat with fly ing colors. Mr. Cox then announced the nomina tion of J. H. Raley for the second dis trict, and his nomination was likewise ratified by a standing vote. Loud calls for the gentleman were made, but he was not In the hall, so. Sergeant-at-Arms McGulre was dispatched to bring him before the convention, "dead or alive." Judicial district nominations were then In order, and they were announced follows: First district W. H. Parker, of Jack sonville, for district attorney, Becond district George A, Dorrls, of Eugene, for district attorney. Third district J. J. Daly, of Dallas, Judge; L. H. Montanya, of Albany, dls. trlct attorney. Fourth district Hartwell Hurley (Re- publican) and M. G. Munley (Demo crat), both of Portland, Judges; AV. T, Mulr, district attorney. Fifth district Edward Drlggs, of Oregon City, district attorney. Sixth district J. M. Carroll, district attorney. Seventh district E. B, Dufur, The Dalles, district attorney, For Joint senators and representatives the following were announced: Highest of all in Leavening Power. latest U. S. Gov't Report Benton and Lincoln Charles H. Lee, of Corvallis, for senator, and M. II. Brunk, of Yaqulna, for representative. Baker and Malheur E. II. Test, sena tor. , Morrow, Harney and Grant F.

Grant and Harney Representative, J. A Steech, of Long Creek. Yamhlli and Tillamook Representa tive, E. H. Sclph. Mr. McGulre having returned with Raley, that gentleman ascended the plaU'orm and made an Interesting two minute speech, stating that he consid ered It an honor to bo nominated for any odlce with such a platform to stand on. He was warmly cheered, and at the conclusion of his remarks was In vited to a seat alongside of the speaker. For board of equalization, the fol lowing vera announced: First District, J. D. Fry, of Grant's Pass; Second, (none named); Third, W. F. Gllkey, of Yamhill; Fourth, R. W. Mitchell, of Portland; Fifth, AA'm. B. Adair, of As toria; Seventh, T. H. LaFollette, of Prlnevllie. The nomination for chairman of the state central committee brought forth several eulogistlo streams of oratory. The name of D. W. Sears, of Polk coun ty, was proposed by a member of his delegation,, and seconded by Flagg, of Salem, Mulllnlx, of Astoria, and several others. Baker county presented the name of Napoleon Davis, of Multno mah, and H. D. McOuIre seconded. Kelley, of Multnomah, also made a characteristic speech in favor of Davis, but as the sentiment seemed to be drifting in favor of Sears very strongly, Mr. Davis arose and announced his withdrawal from the race in favor of Sears. Kelley then made a motion that Davis be the nominee for secretary of the board. This was carried unani mously. In appointing the members of the board a new departure was taken and the right 'of the chairman to appoint his own committee associates was sup plantod by allowing each county to nominate Its own choice for represen tation on the committee. Roll call of the counties disclosed the following re sult: Baker, C. W. James. Benton, D. Carlisle. . , Clackamas, W. B. Carl. . . Clatsop, L. P. Mulllnlx. , i Columbia, W. B. Dllllard. Coos, S. H.

The patriarchlal appearing Mr. Hughes, of Clakamoa, now came for ward with an Innocent appearing reso lution, that for a few minutes created the liveliest kind of a commotion. It read as follows: Resolved, That we are In favor of penvocrats only as candidates on the Democratic ticket, and that In case of vacancies occurring on the ticket from any cause the places so made vacant be filled by the state central committee from the ranks of our own party. As the adoption of this resolution ould effectually shut off all hopes of fusion on any ticket, the Multnomah delegation, who were reported as In tending to do considerable "fusing" on tholr local ticket, Jumped on It with both feet, and the air was again rent with the fervid remarks nf Kelly, of Multnomah; Ferguson, nf Yamhill; Cox, (Continued on Third Puge.) r- P
