I Forlleal Life Declare for Free and Unlimited Coinage of Silver. NOMINATIONS BY ACCLAMATION Denounce Secret Societies France la Angry Peruvian Trouble Settled-Day Set. Omaha, August 22. If ever effort was made to conciliate any warring elements In the ranks of Nebraska Democrats, It was In evidence at the state Democratic convention today. Prior to the (f'ssion there was some talk about the silver and gold wings of the party combining, but If such plan was seriously content plted It was early abandoned. From 2 o'clock, when Chairman - Smith convened the body, until 11 tonight, when the curtain went down in the hall, all ver was the only apparent financial prob lem before the convention. But it was essentially a convention of the advo cates of the white metal In the party and the other wing ignored. The gold wing wm convene at Lincoln September 5. The following nominations were made by acclamation: Supreme court judge, E. J. Phelps; regents of the state uni versity, Dr. H. S, Blackburne and J. J. Kectle. After speeches of minor import ance, bubbling over with silver senti ment and opposition to the A. P. A., the resolution committee reported resolutions declaring for the free and unlimited coin age of silver at the ratio of 18 to 1. They deprecate and denounce as un-American and subversive of the principle of free government, any attempt to control the action of the political parties of this country by secret cabals or organizations of any character, and warn the people against the danger to our Institutions which lurks under any such secret or ganization, whether religious, or polit ical, The Democrats of Nebraska ap prove and commend the declaration of President Cleveland In the past In con demning the pernicious activity of the incumbents of federal offices under the government in attempting to control the policy and nominations of their parties, and recommends a renewal of the policy of his first administration in that re. gard. A delegate attempted to place the fol lowing before the convention as a mi nority report: "We commend the ad ministration of President Cleveland as being able, patriotic and honest, and re affirm the platform adopted by the Dem ocratic national convention In Chicago in 1802." Scarcely had the first word been ut tered when the whole convention was protesting. There was such a roar that order was not established, for ten min utes, when the offending resolution was tabled. PATCHEN WINS. Chicago, August 22.-Joe Patchen today won the great match race against John R. Gentry In straight heats. The race took place on the famous Washington Park track, but as a wind, which amounted to almost a gale, blew all Ihe afternoon, tensational time performance was out of the question. Three Jieats were covered in 2:004. 2:07V4, 2:07M,. Nev ertheless, the contest is regarded as one of the most Important that 'has taken place on the trotting or pacing turf. Patchen's victory was decisive, and seems to put 'his claim to first place among harness racers ibeyond dispute. Twelve thousand people saw- the race and the fact that betting was prohibited did not deter the crowd from showing A degree of enthusiasm that Is seldom equalled at horse races. Gentry was un doubtedly a slight favorite In the public well wishers, but Patchen was cheered Just the same, In what little betting there was outside of the track Cientry also ruled a favorite at about 10 to 9. MRS MAYBRICK'S CASE. London, August 22. In the house of commons today E. P. O'Connor referred to the case of Mrs. .Maytorick, who Is serving a term of Imprisonment for pois oning 'her husband, and for whose par don numerous petitions have been pre sented from Englishmen and Americans. O'Connor said In regard to her that there was an Intense feeling of dissatisfaction by American men and women with the trial and conviction and he believed that the lord chief justice shared this dis satisfaction. He thought that the time ''had come when there should be a re vision of the unfortunate woman's sen tence. Sir Matthew White Ridely, secretary of state for the home department, replied that in view of the strong feeling which prevailed, ho would consider It his duty to Inquire Into the case.

A BIG TRIAL AGAIN TODAY Beautiful Weather and Fine Sjioi t Havo Been Features of Our Second Annual Carnival. Outside of the fishing boat race with 52 entries which will be sailed today, Astoria's second annual regatta festivi ties closed last night in a series of en tertainments, a report of which will be found elsewhere in this morning's As torian. T'he committee at its regular meeting last night decided, to sail the Ash boat contest at 2 o'clock this after noon, whether conditions are favorable or not. The starting time has been plac ed at 2 o'clock sharp, and boats will be given 'fifteen minutes to get over the starting line. There will be no time limit whatever placedi on the race, as In the judgment of the Judges and committee men, 'backed up considerably by public opinion, (the event should be settled without ifall today. It la to be hoped that every boat entered will run. The winning craft is to have the choice of two elegant prizes, and besides there are handsome awards for the third, fourth. and fifth places. The Manzanita leaves her dock at 1:30 this afternoon, with only the judges and members of the press aboard. Yesterday broke dull and gloomy with a suspicious appearance of rain to follow. but once more the clerk of the weather was kind1 and by 1 o'clock when the Man zanlta started out for the channel the day . waB almost perfect. A line sun shine and a blue sky, combined with a steadily freshening western breeze, made Ideal regatta conditions, and the boats engaged in tho various sailing races had all the wind they wanted. All morning the streets were crowded1 with people who watched the footraces with great Interest, and after dinner the town turn ed out in force and crowded all the cen tra.! city docks. Cannery men and! flsh- enmen wore very largely in evidence and there was plenty of occasion for them to speculate on the winners and air their knowledge of the tactics that should be employed In order to enable their fa- vorles to win. Messrs. George, Harring ton, Barker, and several other cannery- men -who had no particular Interest in the result of the contests were there taking In the work of the boats, while Messrs. Kinney, Tallant, Elmore, and Chutter were busy first on one wharf and then on another, anxiously eyeing their vessels and counting seconds and minutes on their fingers with an air of .profound interest all afternoon. Most cf the crowds on each dock recognized them, and a quantity of good natured badinage greeted them everywhere. Mr. Chutter during the latter part of the day was particularly happy and he had good rea son to be. His schooners, th3 Alice and Grace, won first and second money In their race, and he thus had the satisfac tion of scoring a well-earned victory. An El-more boat took first prlzo In the fish boat race, and another came In third, the representatives of that can nery who formed one-sixth of tha con testants gaining two-thirds- of the purses. On the Manzanlta there was the same scene of gaiety as characterized the pro ceedlngs on that boat on the previous day. 'It was crowded with ladies all af ternoon, and nobody was dull. The Asto ria band played tho following selections aboard during the day: Bohemian March Little Rose Waltz, Sidewalks of New York, Anvil Polka, Athlone Overture, Manhattan Beach, Minerva March, La dles Band Overture, and the Return March. ThIs band, under the able lead ership of Professor A."W. Utzlnger, has, during the entire regatta, been a most welcome addition to the proceedings. Ths boys have done excellent work and are entitled to the very greatest praise from the music loving public of Astoria. The band Is composed of the following gen tlemen: Messrs. A. W. Utzlnger, Git tings iBrockett, Cyrus, Jake Utzlnger, Erfterbrook, Elgner, Stinson, Lelnenweb- er, Corno, Simpson, A. Montelth, Gus tavson, and Cryer. Captain Gregory and hi officers during the past two days have been untiring In their efforts to entertain their guests, and it was- really delightful to notice what pains they took to make everybody feel at home. The Manzanlta's dear deck room makes dancing a pleasure, and It was Indulged In considerably yesterday by a large number of people. Mr. H. G. dmlth Te-1 lleved Mr. P. L, Cherry a Judge on the bridge and performed hi dutie very satisfactorily. One of the most pleasing Incidents of the carnival occurred at the conclusion of the sloop race, when tho Mayflower, Columbia, Pearl and Sailor Boy lined up In front of Flavel's dock and their crews simultaneously gave three hearty cheers for Astoria and her annual regatta. They then showed a beautiful exhibition of quick tacking and running, and finally started away across the river, dipping their flags in salute as they left. "The life saving drill of the Fort Canby crew was witnessed by thousands of people. The rocket life line was thrown clean across the foremast of the Man sanlta, mado fast and hitched to the Ufc avlng basket. The "shipwrecked mar iner" on the forward truck of the (.take- Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S.

One anxious young woman on the Manzanlta taa telling a circle of friends that the man had all his valuables in an inside pocket "Just like he would If he was leav lng a ship." "Look here, lady," remark ed the ship-wrecked party, "The only valuables I've got under these 'ere togs Is my bathln' suit." The work of Captains Edwards and Brown, of Portland, dirrlng the regatta has been most excellent. While all the local Judges have of course worked splen didly, the conduct of the two named la especially noticeable as they are visitors who were pressed Into the service at the last moment and who cheerfully stayed away from their homes to render much needed assistance. Since the beginning of tho proceedings on Monday they have been most painstaking In their endeavors to moke the affair a success, and their efforts have not been overlooked. The following are the events that were contested yesterdays FOOT (RfAOE, BOYS UNDER 14. Prize ' '....Medal Course: Start at Aetorlan offlco and run west 100 yards on Commercial street. ENTRIES.
