Veeierday a committee of ahoul three htirulre.1 nohermrn called at Ihe Klmore, Cultlns. Kinney, and other cannerlee, and eutimlttel a propoaltlnn. which. If accepted by Ihe packer, will probably settle Ihe atrlke on Ihe Columbia river. It was propoeed thai Ihe cannery men should as-ree lo lake back Ihe twine which they had distributed to a lantn numlH-r' of flahermen. composed princi pally of the floating elemi nt of the craft, who hnve no home lies In Ihe city, and who only come here during Ihe aeneon to work. It la estimated that about ti ler cent of the men on the river lire MmiHMed of Idle ctuae. and thai lew of them ee native Iwrn or naturnllX'd cl tls.'iia. A demand was made thnt the dinner) men In receiving back the twine from Iheee men. ahoubl alxo give tnem rnllt for the labor, at fair wngpa. ;en! In knlttlnir Ihls twine Into nela. The greater portion of Ihe twine so far illa liibiited amorur Ihe men has been .ied In repairing old tide, or In Ihe con-Btrtlt-tlon of new once. The men stilted that If Ihls arrangement could lie mnde It would result In about Iwenty-ftvc p. r cent of the fleliermen now here leaving Ihe river and going Into other lines of work The balance of Ihe fluherm.-n. or the seventy-live per cint remaining In the union. It wss imposed, would then lie willing lo llah for four cents, or Ihe price established by the eunnerymen's union. I'p lo .1 late hour last nlkht none of the cannerymen had made any reply to the proposition from Ihe fishermen. It la hotx-d Unit a meeting of Ihe packers will lie culled toils y and thut the question sill lie decided. The matter Is an Im portant one, nnd deeervee careful con sideration by nil parties concerned. The geneml hunlncea of Ihe city Is suffering lo a certain extent on account of Ihe strike. Packets claim that beesuee of the rondlllon of Kastern markets and general business throughout the Enet ami Middle West, It Is Impossible for them lo put up salmon and pny ont Ave cents for the raw material. One of the most prominent ennncrymen on the river anld last night to an Astorlan representa tive that Ihe proposition made by the fishermen Involved much more then ap peared on the surfer. "It Is really In the nature of a compromise, for If tho ennncrymen aeoeipt It, lake back the nels ind twine of tho men who will leave the business, and pay them besides for their labor in knlttliiM the nets for their own use. It will niciin that we will have to enrry a very large amount of dead capital. The way things are nt present we cannot afford to pny five cents for raw Huh nnd I do not believe that the vast number of fishermen on the river ran, its a body, mnke anything nt four cents a pound. If tho number ot men is materially reduced, the hniunpe can no doubt mnke wages at four cents. If five hundred should leave tomorrow and engage on the railroad, or In other work. 1 think It would lie better nil around nnd that the remainder would lie enabled to mnke something this sen son, while the pnekers could afford to start their canneries nnd put up Ihe flHh. There would be little protlt to eith er side, hut It would keep matters going until better times come. I have not de cided, so far ns I am Individually con eenxl, what 1 shall do In the matter, but will of course consult with the other rnnnorymen. We shall no doubt have n meeting In a day or two." STATES MV8T NOT INTKRFERB. Important Peclslon Rendered by a Judge of the Federal Court. Omnhn, May 7 Judg Shiran, of the Federal court, today punned on Ihe ha beas oorpusea nt Fort Robinson, In which Lieutenant Lnngdon and Sergeant Urn den had been held under state authority for selling liquor without a license hs official In charge of the post exchange. The opinion of Judge Shims wns a com prehensive and elaborate statement of the law pertaining to military reserva tions In general throughout the United States. It exhaustively reviewed all nu thorltles. He upheld In th opinion complete and absolute Jurisdiction of the general gov ernment over the military reservation In questljn, nnd. further, thnt the amenda tory act of Nebraska, seeking to reclaim authority to enforce Its liquor upon this reservation, was nugatory. Thla settles tho question of the right of the govern ment to maintain Itn post exchanges without Interference In any manner by state authorities. WALKED OFF A WALL.

For thoroughness nnd entire absence of af fectation and mock shamefnoednesa, there Is nothing like II. When a dog gapes he doesn't screw his face Into all torts of unnatural shapes In an endeavor to keep hla mouth shut with his jaws wldo open. Neither does he put tils paw up to hie face In an apologetic way, while gaping In ambush, na It were. No: when he gapes he Is perfectly willing that th whole world shall come to the show. He braces himself on his forfeet. stretches out his neck, depresses his head and his Jnws open with graceful moderation. At first It Is but an exaggerated grin, but when the gape Is apparently accom plished, the dng turns out hla elbows, aliens nls Jnws another 45 degeres, swal lows nn Imaginary bona by a sudden and convulsive movement, curls up his tongue like the petal of a tiger-Illy, and shuts his Jnws together with a snap. Then h assumes a grave and content ed visage, as Is eminently becoming to one who has performed a dnty success fully and conscientiously. AMBIQIOUS." Yonkers Statesman.

The Indiana Re publican convention today Instructed Its delegate for McKlnley, with scarcely a show of opposition, aud th long Im pending battle between McKlnley and Harrison forces ended tn commonplace peace. General Harrison did not niak his eagerly expected speech to the delegate and did not visit the convention at all.

An animated tit; lit over tile uioticy question waa the must strik ing feature uf the Michigan Republican convention, which met here today, it resulted In squelching both me gold plank offered by the majority and the silver plank submitted by the minority ol tho committee, and the suballtulljn therefor ot the money plank of the Min neapolis piallorm ot lmi. McKlnley was endorsed most unequivocally and the del egate were strongly lnstrucud In his fuvor. rour delegates at lurge were elected, two or tnvm without contest. The majority financial plank Is: "We are unyteldlug in our demands for sound aud honest money. We are In favor of the use of gold and silver and paper dollars in our currency, all to be maintained al parity and lo their pur chasing aisl debt paying power, vi e are opposed to any provision that will invite a depreciation of any portion ot our cur rency, and therefore we are opposed to the free and unlimited coinage of silver by this country under present conditions, and we believe such course would ae stroy the partly of and contract our currency." 8. W. Hopkins and W. U. Smith, ot the platform committee, presented a mi nority substitute, as follows, the nrst twenty-six words being quoted trom the national platform of 183: "The American people, from tradition and Interest, tavor bimetallism. :ind the Republican party demands the use ot both gold and silver as the standard of money, and demands that all dollars, whether gold, sliver or paper, shall bu of full legal tender, possessing full and equal purchasing and debt-paying power, thereby having a parity of vulue; and lo that end we demand a purely Ameri can system of money, based upou gold and silver w ithout an advantage of either at the mints. We demand that all paper money Issued by the government shall be redeemable In gold or silver at the op tion of the government. "We ure opposed lo the retiring ol greenbacks, the money of tho people, the saviour of the Union, the money tavorod by Lincoln, We aru opposed to the is suance ot Interent-bearing' bonds in limes of peace, and we condemn the policy of Urover Cleveland and John '.i. Cnrlisle in contracting a sale of government bonds, thereby taxing the people to ben efit a foreign syndicate ten millions ot dollars the protlts accruing to It at the expense of the people." After considerable confusion, T. W. Crissey. of Mid hi mi. moved to substitute the currency declaration of the Sllnne apolls platform of lstt for both commit tee regions on the money question. The motion prevailed amid cheers. HAVE DE8CENDKD VPON VS. Portland, May ".Mortimer Whitehead, of New Jersey, arrived In Portland today. Whitehead la a xealoua advocate of free silver, and Is one of the quintet ot speaker sent trom the East by the Pop ulist national committee to carry Oregon In favor of the white metal.

"1 believe It to bo the nialn question before the pople, and Ihe protection of our Industries a side Issue. I stand with Don Cameron, of Pennsyl vania, and that class of Republicans.

Tomorrow night he will address the Populist of Astoria In the Interests ot free silver. He will make a tour of the state, under the direction of the Populist manager. "When will you return home?" he was asked. "When we carry Oregon," was the quick response. LOYAL DEMOCRATS. Trenton, N. J., May 7. The Democratic state convention today, after a struggle, elected four slated candidates for dele gates at large to the Chicago convention. The platform adopted declared strongly for th gold standard and endorsed the administration of President Cleveland. Th fact that Cleveland has not express ed himself as willing to accept the nom ination wa the only thing that prevented sn effort to Instruct the delegates for his re nomination. No effort wa made to Instruct ths delegates, but much enthu alaan was evoked by the chairman' mention In his speech of the nam of ex-Oovraor Kussell, of Massachusetts. Amdng the delegate from th southern portion of th data the sentiment I largely In favor of ex-Oovernor Pattlson, of Pennsylvania.

RAILROAD MEN. Think McKlnley Will Be the Man Nom inated In St. Louis. Reports of the earnings of American railroads for the first four month of the year, almost without exception, show good Increases over the corresponding period of 135. Western road In par ticular have made far better showing than tbey did last year, and In some respects the conditions have not been al together favorable. I'p to the present dny, for Instance, the ' enormous corn crop of the western states Is being held In crib by the owners, who expect still, as they have all winter, a raise In prices. Ordinarily this corn would have moved early In the year. As It Is, save for a few weeks just prior to the time farmers had to pay their taxes, hardly any of It had been brought to the rail road for shipment. It Is the expecta tion this crop will bav to move very soon, and should the move be a general one throughout the West tt will tax the railroads to their fullest capacity. Earnings then will take a Jump and will probably exceed the estimates. Generally speaking, railroad men rx pect to see more settled conditions and a corresponding Increase In earnings as a result of th Illinois Republican state convention. Thev concede, with other conservative business men. that the In structions of Illinois delegate for Mc-Klnle;- practically means his nomination in Ht. Louis, and they believe his nomina tion will go far to establish a better com mercial feeling nnd bring more goods to their doors for transportation. At the present time the outlook Is more favor able to a prosperous year than at any ttme since ISM. Among the best earners among the granger roads Is the Chicago. Milwaukee and St PauL Its statement for the month of March, sent out a few days ago. showed an Increase for the first nine months of the fiscal year, which ends June 30. of nearly t3.000.im. At that ratio of Increase the aggregate for the year will be nearly H.iXw.Oeo more than for the last fiscal year. It statement for the last week In April, Issued yes terday, shows the gross earnings to have been n6.75, aa compared with :n,T73 for the corresponding week of 186 an Increase of JT5.012. The Chicago, Rock Island and Paclllc also reports a comfortable increase In earnings for the month of April. Its state ment, also Issued yesterday, shows the gross earnings for the entire system both east and west of the Missouri river to have been $1,161,031. an Increase, as compared with the corresponding month of 1S5. of ia!4T.
