HOW IT WAS DONE.
Story of an Eye WHnaa ot the Fulling
of the Truaie at Band lalnnd.
A well known bttalneaa man of llsaco,
who waa In the city yeatrrdar. elated
to an Aatorlnn ropreacnlatlvd that the
aivnea attendant upon the attiuk of the
tlthermen upon the trapa at Sand laland
a few daya axo were really more ex
citing than moat people knew. He Bald:
"When the riahermen came down to
the Iidund one of the hoata tarried a
rrd rlag at half maat, which Indicated a
riot. The four pile driver were not
only captured, but the men who were
operating the pile driver were forced,
under thrrnta of violence, to us their
mai hlnea tor pulling the pl.a of the
trapa. The owner of the trapa did not
arrive upon the iwvne In .time to pre
vent the dnmaKe being done, and If they
hud, they were too few In numbers to do
any good. Since the action of the ftah
ermen three of the pile drivers have been
recovered, but one la atlll stranded on
Sund lalnnd.
"At a meeting of the trnpmen the other
day. the prosecuting attorney und sheriff
of l'uclllo county conaulted with them
na to what steps mlKht lie tukn to pre
vent further drpred.Ulnns on .he part
of Astoria fishermen. It was divided to
effect und orgunixutlon and .-ndenvor to
secure a patrol boat and militiamen to
protect their Interests. It was reported
by one of the soldiers that the companies
at Fort Canity, hud been furnished with
ten rounds of ammunition for use In
case of necessity. It Is tho-.tght that a
perfect orgunlxntlon will be completed In
a short time, under the auspices of the
state government, which wjll thoroughly
protect all of tho Interei'.s of the trap
men." BPAIN S SHIPS PREPARING.
Two of tho Transatlantic Company's
Steamers Nearly Ready for Sea.
Madrid. April .-The Spanish Trans
atlantic Steamship Company have two
out of the six ships they are announcing
ns cruisers nearly ready to put to seu.
Each Is armed with six 12-lnch breech
loading guns, and several rapid-fire guns
will also be added to their armament.
Their speed Is from nineteen to twonty
knots.
A careful study of all her resources
shows that In the event of a wnr with
the lTnlted States Spain could muster
every available merchant steamer she
controls. Turned Into ,ar ships they
would furnish about thirty fnlrly for
midable cruisers.
RIO LOAN FOR VENEZUELA.
Crespo's Minister of Foreign Affairs De

of the Yurcan Incident.
Lnguayra, Venexuela. April &, Tho Na
tional Congress has authorized the presi
dent to negotiate a foreign loan of fifty
million francs to purchase land for new
railways and extend those already In

Dr. Escqulel Rojus, mlnliter of foreign
affairs, denies the raport that tho Yuruan
Incident has been settled. It Is stated
In the public press, also, thut the Ven
esuelun government has not paid the
British claim, the rumor being, It Is
alleged, a canard.

Portland. April H.-VT. R. Kill.. ot
Il..pnr, a free silver uun, waa re
nominated for congress lonUdit, on the
third ballot, by the Itep'jhllcana of the
Second District. WalUce McCummant,
of Multnomah, and C. 'A. Parrish, of
Urant county, Bound mwry men, were
tin ted del.gatea to the St. Ixjuls con
vention, and Inatrueud for McKlnlcy.
I. Ilia' nomination waa brought about by
a combination of Kills toa.t with the
antl-Slmon delegates from Multnomah
county. When the convention met this
morning and elected C. W. Fulton, of
Clatsop, chairman, and A. W. Patterson,
of Ileppner, secretary. It was apparent
that the antl-Slmon men would at least
have a representation In the convention.
Committees were appointed on creden
tials and order of business, and the
convention adjourned until 4:20.
Il waa nearly o'rlo k before the com
mltl.e on credentials reported. There
were three reports auocnttted, a majority
and two minority reports. The majority
rrfiort favored seating the anti-Simon
delegation: the first minority report fa
vored the Simon delegation, and tha sec
ond minority, presented by F. J. Taylor,
of Clatsop, favored aeatlng General Geo.
II. Williams and Hon. Sol. Hlrsch, who
were on both tickets, ind giving each
aid one half of the remaining forty-alz
delegatea Several sp":he were made
on both sides, snd Anally the convention
called for a statement from General Wll
llama, aa to the Justice of tha claims of
each side.
Mr. Williams reluctantly consented,
and, In a brief speech, gave his views.
He said both sides were wrong: that
both had used money at the Drtmartea,
and that a great majority of the respect
able cltltens were crowded away from
the polls by hirelings and prevented from
voting at the primaries. He cald tht
most satisfactory solution would be to
give each side a one-half representation.'
A vote was taken by ballot by '.he dele
gates from nil counties expt Multno
mah on the adoption of the report of
the committee on credentials. The ote
rrulted thlrty-aeven to twenty-nine In
favor of Mr. Taylor's minority report,
giving each side a one-half representa
tion. The convention then adjourned un
til 8 p. m.
EVENIXO SESSION.
When the convention reassembled, the
Multnomah county delegates were allow
ed to cast twenty-three votia each, ex
clusive of the votes of Williams and
Hlrsch, and nominations for congress
man were then declared In order. Brown,
of Morrow, placed W. R. Ellis In noml
' nation. It was second d by Delta, of
1'mutllla: Hume, of Multnomah, and Al
len, of Columbia.
K U Smith, of Wai'O, then placed In
nomination M. A. Moody, of Wasco:
C. A. Johns, of Baker, named J. L. Rand,
of Raker.
The first ballot resulted: Ellis. 51:
Moody, 49; Rnnd, 14: Caples. 1. Necessary
to choice, 5S.
The anti-Simon faction cast twenty
three votes for Ellis. ,nd the members
of the Simon faction cast their twenty
three votes for Moody.
! The se.-ond ballot .vaulted: Ellis, 57;
Moody. 52: Rand. f.
! The third ballot, Ellis. S2: Moody, Ht
' The next order of business was the
nomination of twj delegates to the na
tional Republican convention. Jonathan
nourne, Jr., of Multnomah: C. W. Rnr-
; rlsh, of Grant: Wallace McCummant, of
' Multnomah, and Frd W. Hendley, of
, I'mutlllo, were nominated.
The ballot resulted: Hourne, 56: Hen-
I dley. 56; Parried. 5?: McCammar.t. 58:
Paxton. of Multnomah, Introduced a
resolution Instructing the delegates to
! the national Republican convention to
work for McKlnley first, last and all the
time. The resolution was adopted with
a yell. Hourno and Hendley were elect
ed us alternate delegites to the national
convention.
W. H. Parker was chos"n a member
of the congressional eommltt,e from
Clatsop county. The antl-Slmon peopl
1 stole a march on the Simon faction by
securing the vote of Williams for Carey,
; which gave him twenty-five, e-isurliig his
election.
STATE CONVENTIONS TODAT.
Roth Democrats and Republicans Will
Make Nominations.
Portland. April 8. Both the Republican
I and Democratic state conventions will
, meet In thla city tomorrow for the pur
pose of electing delegates to the national
conventions, nominating one Justice of
ine supreme court and presidential
electors. Tho Republican convention will
no doubt be attended by exciting scenes,
on account of the contest In the Mult
nomah county delegation. It Is expected
both the Simon and antl-Slmon delega
tions will renew their efforts to secure
full representation In '.he state conven
tion, notwithstanding the decision of the
district convention to.Iiy In giving each
one-hnlf representation.
There Is a strong sentiment among
many delegates for a declaration ogulnst
the free rolnngo of silver and In favor of
the gold standard, but It Is unlikely that
such declaration will be made. It is be
lieved that the financial plank will be
a repetition of the Republican national
platform of ISM, which favors bimetal
lism to the extent of maintaining both
metnls at a parity. Judge R. 8. Bean
will be renominated for supreme Judge
by the Renubllcnns hv nrMmn,inn a
j far no ono Is mentioned prominently for

STILL IN DOirilT.
Close Race for the Mayoralty In the City
Destiny.
Tmoma, April 1 The result of yester
day's vote for mayor Is In doubt. A. V,
Fawcell, the citizens' earultdate, has two
majority on the offk'l U returns from
twenty-six precincts and the unofficial
returns from the other nine. Tha city
clerk owned the returns of twenty-slg
precincts when objection was raised, and
h decided not to open the others. The
otlWiul result cannot be told until Tues
day, when the council canvasses the re
sult. Votes were thrown out on both
sides, on account of all -d Irregularities.
The rote Is so close that It Is certain
tho losing side when the official canvass
Is made, will take the matter Into the
courts and ask to htve the ballots re
counted. The chart -r amen-lnv-nu, 21
in number, have probably all Ven adopt

land It uses the tracks of the Northern
Pacific The sleeping ear rate from Bt
Paul to Seattle la tui): from 8L Paul to
Portland the amount la the same, but
the Northern Pacific's local sleeping car
rate from Seattle to Portland la 22. The
Great Northern la now absorbing the
between Seattle and Portland, and In
support of Its action t has the ruling
of the secretary of the racol passenger
association at Portland. Ihs Northern
Pacific, however, has taken exception to
any such roltng. ' It ctitms that the Great
Northern, not having tracks of Ita own
Into Portland, haa no more right to do
a through business to that point than It
would have to go to Seattle or any other
Puget Sound point The matter baa been
referred to the chairman ol the Trans
