He did not show up when Judge Nelson said "Pluy bull!" and hi V ilropiied gently Into the city's coffers. The next casa was that of Charles Krlckson, who was accused of being found by Officer Slnnolt In a beastly suite of Intoxication. Krlckson was very pleasant In explaining; the time and man ner in which he got soaked. It appears about 7:10 Wednesdny nlcht.

Erlckson Jumped to his feet and ex tracted a knife from the quiet seclualve neas of his patuloons pocket He wus only running a bluff, though, as he ex plained In court yesterday. But blurting don't go when you're caught at It. Offi cer Slnnott, who was an eye witness to Erlckson's ejectment, had a pair ot sixes and a club flush up his sleeve, and called him. After listening to the tes timony, Judge Nelson fined Erlckson t5. Then John Ucntllch and Martin Johan sen were told to stand up. These are the two parties who made so much nolxe In the Hiillroad saloon Wednesday. Hent llch made himself previous and kicked up quite a disturbance.

May H.-The Republican state convention today adopted an em phatic told plank and Instructed eight del or- ' - for McKlnley. The convention wai practically unanimous for the Ohla man. Tho gold men had an overwhelm ing majority, but did not shut oft lbs debate, not wishing to engender bitter nesa among the silver delegates. How aver, they refused to compromise and even rejected Ihe Ohio plank which Mc Klnley himself Is said to bare revised. , Ths delegates on ths slats formed 4 Week age were elected. A. T. Uurtelgh, receiver of ths Northern Pacific Rail road, and leader ot the gold standard forces ot the slate, will probably be spokesman ot tha delegation at BU Louis, and It la likely P. C. Sullivan, ot Taco ma, will be chosen national committee man at St. Louis. The convention wus one of unbounded sBthualaam. and tho session was without serious suits. The convention at lis temporary or ganisation this morning chose aa tem porary chairman John Y. Oowey, of Olympla. and at tha afternoon aession John 8.

This made ten nominations, but before a vote could be token Butler and Mires with drew and the nominations were made unanimous smid great enthuslasm. A striking feature ot the convention was the entire harmony nrevalllng among the delegations from King, Pierce snd Spokane counties. Pierce seconded the nomination of Burleigh: King sec onded the nomination of Sullivan: Spo kane seconded the nominations of both, and King and Pierce seconded the nom ination of Wilson. Each delegation rose to Its feet, and gave three hearty cheers, and all signs of the old time enmity be tween King and Pierce were eliminated.

At S o'clock the convention took up the report of the committee on resolutions and platform. Protection and reciprocity were commended and the gold standard favored amid ringing cheers, but the resolution declared for an international agreement regulating the ratio of gold and silver. A . McKlnley resolution, when made, was greeted with cheers that shook the building. The platform favors the elec tion of senators by popular vote, and the resolution denouncing the attempt of se cret political organisations to control party affairs was loudly applauded. The convention at 5:06 Instructed Its delegates to vote for McKlnley. There was almost no opposition, and the dele gates enthusiastically leaped to' their feet as the result was announced. THE PLATFORM. The following Is the platform as adopt ed: Resolved, That we renew our allegiance to the principles of the Republican party and pledge ourselves to support its can didates and platofrm, as the same shall be determined by our national convention at 81. Louis. Resolved, That we demand the restora tion of the Republican policy of protec tion to American Industry and American labor, and of the doctrine of reciprocity, the last great work of the immortal Blaine. Resolved,' That we favor the mainte nance ot the present gold standard and are opposed to the tree and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of IS to 1, We are, however, favorable to an inter national agreement, looking to the gen eral use of both metals as money, at a fixed ratio, and commend the efforts In that behalf ot tbs last Republican administration.- - Resolved,- That it Is the Sentiment ot this convention that congress should en act strict laws to prevent the Immigra tion of paupers, criminals and other un desirable classes from foreign countries Into the United Stales. . Resolved, That we have always given protection to our shipbuilders. In late years wc hnve neglected to protect our shipowners. We believe the time has come to return to the policy ot Wash ington and Hamilton, which, by discrim inating duties in favor of American bot toms, secured SO per cent of our carrying trade to American shipping, and which, if restored, would again revive shipping ami cause American freights to be paid to Americans. Resolved, That a plunk should be Incor porated in our national plitform de manding a constitutional amendment providing for the election of 1'nlteu States senators by popular vote of the people. Resolved, Thnt we oppose any union ot church and state, and wc recognize loy alty, intelligence, and honesty as the main requisites of good citizenship: and we do donounce any attempt to create a religious qualification for office as un American, unjust and unconstitutional. Resolved, That the Republicans ot Washington, while recognizing the em inent worth and fitness of each distin guished statesman of their party whose names have been mentioned as aspirants for Ihe presidential nomination at St, Lou I., hereby declare that the emphatic sentiment of Washington Is In favor or that wis. and able .talesman, that purs and unsullied patriot, that true and loyal American, that peerleas champion of pro tection, William McKlnley, of Ohio: and ths delegates from this state rt hereby directed and Inatructed to work and vote for the success of said William McKlnley as long ss there Is a reasonable pros pect of his nomination. SILVER CRL'SHIKQLY DEFEATED. Ths hardest fight of the convention, aa had been anticipated, was between ths bimetalllsts and free sliver men. Dele gate Jones Introduced a free silver plank, but It was voted down by sn overwhelm ing vote of T to 111 The silver men then attempted to secure the adoption ot the Ohio plank drafted by ilcKlnly, and the fight waxed warm. Tne contro versy declined Into a parliamentary bat tle, and at this the convention wss a scene of uproar. Delegates stood On chairs, hut the name of the champion was not sufficient and the motion failed. SI to 17s, The final fight was on the adoption of the platform as amended. with Instructions for McKlnley. and the vote here stood Kl to 1XL As originally Introduced the platform was for sound money, but contained no Instructions. At 7 eD ths convention adjourned. SCATHINGLY DENOUNCED. A. P. A. Handled Without Uloves by Gibson, of Maryland. Washington. May Jt-Ulbsoa. of Mary- ! land, addressed the senate In opposition to the bill restricting Immigration aa soon as the session opened today. He urged that there was no reason to keep t back the Immigrant from our shore so long as there were mountains to tunnel, rivers to bridge and virgin country to j develop. Many of the states with scant I population would be glad to welcome the foreigner, either with education or U- literate. If he only works. Gibson said that the power behind this antl-lmml- j gration bill was the American Protective Association. "A secret, oath-bound so cietyred lettered, left-handed, dark lan terned organisation." The biU bad for its real purpose, the senator said, hostility to the Catholic church a purpose of envy, hatred and malice. It was the offspring of a brood ot mlaohlet-makers. .. . . Gibson read the oath of the organisa tion. This waa the organisation, nc said, that was seeking to enter American pol itics. There was no branch of honest politics which the secret, oath-bound or ganisation could serve. Clbson added: "I do not believe ths American people wilt submit to the dictation of any such organisation as the A. P. A but that they will promptly and effectively stamp with the seal of their condemnation this impudent and dangerous Interef -rence with the Interests of the republic.'' IN THE HOUSE. Washington, May K In the bouse to day, while the pension bills were being considered, the committee of the whole rose Informally and disagreed to Ihe amendments to the river and harbor bill and sent It to conference. Later, Hep burn raised the point that tha action wss Irregular and Intimated that it was a piece of sharp practice to prevent the house from considering such amend ments In committee of the whole. Her mann disclaimed any such purpose, claiming that the object was to hasten the bill In anticipation ot the presiden tial veto. The speaker took the point of order under advisement and will de cide It tomorrow. JACKSON FOUND GUILTY. Will 8uffer the Death Penalty, for Kill ing Pearl Bryan. Special to the Astorian.
