After the rump had been laid out and
some of the t.-nts pitched, the balance

their yunrtera. As the men passed
down Commercial street, complimenta

Their appearance was soldierly, and
their bearing most excellent. All of the

Col. Summers stilted to an Astorian
representative that ho was well satis
fied with his troops and their prompt
and willing response to the call to
duty. Over ninety per cent of the en
rollment of his forces gathered together
and were en route to Astoria but a
few hours after a summons made late
at night, when it was Impossible to
find some of the men. The colonel said
that they were here with malice to
none nor favor to any, Blmply as sol
diers sworn to do their duty and await
ing orders. The scenes about the camp
hint evening were business like and
attracted hundreds of citizens. Picket
lines were established and all was un
der the quiet and regular military or
der. Widely different views were express
ed on the Btrcets yesterday at the pres
ence of the militia, which was some
thing of a surprise to most, and the rad
ical element of the fishermen endeav
ored to cloak their chagrin under an
air of ridicule, while the rank and file
of the men freely offered their services
In assisting the militiamen In maintain
ing law and order. In several places
along the sidewalks appeared the fol
lowing legend In chalk: "Four and
one-half cent militia." At some of the
canneries where notices had been post

four and one-half cents would be paid

waa snld that the moral effect atom, of
the pn-M-iicu of the mllltlu, was

such a remark, aaked the p-rtinent
iiieatlon how It could poaidtily Insul

his country borne through the street
by loyal troop who certainly would d
no harm to thoa observing the law
even though there was no Immedlat
rioting to demand the ue of arms. "A
ounce of prevention Is better than
pound of cure."
A petition was largely circulate yes
terday which It was propem-d to for
ward to (iovernor Lord deprecating the
sending of troops here and calling for
their removal. This document was
signed by many, among them beln
merchants who afterwards said they
were very glad anyway, that the troopi
were here. One gentleman when sake
lo sign the document, refused In no un
certsln language, and gave as his rea
son his belief thst If there was only
one fisherman on the river who deslr
ed to fish at prices offered, he should
be permitted to do so. If It took th
entire fnlted States army to protect
him. Several other prominent cltlsens
were strong In their statement thst no
matter what the circumstances, so long
tha elvla authorities of the city and
county had taken action which seemed
to them Just and needful, the citizens
should stand by them to the lost drop
of blood, and they refused to sign the
peltlon on that ground. One of them
remarked that to return the militia
now would be only to put a license on
lawlessness. He snld: "The protec
tion furnished at the present Is a guar
antee that the same protection can be
furnished In tha future. It certainly
seems to m that If those who have
stated that they are afraid to fish now
because of danger next season, would
onlv consider that If necessary next
sesson they can have the same protec
tion of hand, with a suftliient number
of patrol boats on the river to enable
them to pursue thtir occupation In per
fect Rifely, they would not now hesi
tate to carry out their convictions. If
the fishermen's- union cannot entirely
control all Its members, they will.
some of them stated today, heartily
Join the militia In preserving peace and
protection to person and property. It
suggests itself to me also, that the
boats up tho river under command of
Sheriff Hare should be augmented by
others all along between here and
Eagle Cliff. I understand that fishing
up on that portion of the river Is large
ly increasing, and thirty new boats
went out today. Such a patrol would
afford the fullest possible protection
to all on both land and water."

Portland, June 16. Fifty members of

not go to Astoria this morning, left

DENIES THE STATEMENT.
I'ncle Sam Has Not Appropriated One
Hundred Thousand Dollars for
Foolishness.
Mr. P. 8. Chnppelle, special agent of
the treasury department, called at the
Astorian ollice last evening and called
attention to an article appearing In
the Astoria Herald June 13th concern
ing the recent Chinese cases In Astoria
Mr. Chappiile denounced the article as
a slander and an absolute untruth In
every particular. He Intimated that
Judge Uelllnger, of the t'nlted States
court, was Incensed about the matter,
and proposed to see that such libelous
statements were not made by Astoria
newspapers In the future.
'The United States jury, or any of
Its members would certainly not make
any such statements aa imputed to
them. The government has not appro
priated J100.0O0 for the purposes men
tioned. Neither myself nor Inspector
Cullom are paid by fee; we receive
regular salaries. Tho cases now pend
ing will be pushed to trial. Convic
tions will certainly be made in a num
ber of them. It is true some of the
arrested parties in Astoria were al
lowed to go on bonds for each other,
but In all cases the district attorney
passed on the bonds, and they are now
In his possession. We are not working
for fun, and certainly expect to make
at least some of the cases stick. Ow
ns to the pressure of business In the
court, these cases have been carried
over to the next term. In the mean
time there win be another grand Jury

fct. Louis, June 16. Ausplcioualy and
B!renely, beneath a sky across whose
an-hed dome not a cloud floated, the
fhUftHlns of the liepubllcan party,
from the pineries of Maine to the or
ange groves of California; from the
everglades of Florida to the peaceful
waters of Puget Sound, met In council
today, and in the presence of about S000
spectators, entered upon the work of
selecting candidates and enunciating
policies for the campaign of 'M.
The first session of the Republican
national convention was brief and for
mal. Chairman Carter, of the national
committee, dropped the gavel at 12:30,
and sixty minutes later adjournment
.s taken until 10 o'clock tomorrow.
There was not a jar to mar the pro
ceedings; there were no sensational In
cident to arouse, nor any demonstra
tions to thrill the vast concourse of
people.
Temporary Chairman C. W. Fair
banks, of Indiana, delivered his ad
dress, a strong, forcible statement In
arraignment of the present administra
tion and In deflnement of the Issues.
The committee selections for the va
rious delegations were announced that
was all. Those who expected some al
lusion to McKinley which would loosen
the bottkd-up enthusiasm for the little
Napoleon who baa had no fight to
uncork It, or who Imagined that per
haps some of the great leaders or ora-
t-a of the purty would be etlled to
the platform to Are their Imaginations
or quicken their pulses, were disap
pointed. It was purely a formal ses
sion. The fierce rivalry that attends
the contests between struggling giants,
where the question of supremacy is
still to be fought and the battle Is yet
to be won; which arouses the clans and
factious to the wildest pitch of ex
citement and enthusiasm, was lack
Ing. While there may be vain hopes,
blighted ambitions and bitter anlmosl
ties still to sink beneath the onward
sweep of the McKinley tide, those who
did not favor the Ohio candidate as
their first choice are looking forward
with relief to the end of the unequal
struggle, knowing It will bring peace
and good will In the end.
This being the situation, the main
interest today centered In the person
ality of the great men who assembled
In the convention hall.
RESOLUTION'S COMMITTEE.
St. Louis, June 16. Senator Foraker
was chosen chairman, and Gen. Lew
Wallace, of Indiana, was unanimously
chosen aecretary, of the committee on
resolutions. The resolution carried
unanimously to appoint a sub-committee
of seven to draft a platform. Chair
man Foraker named as the committee
Merrlam, of Minnesota; Fessenden.
Connecticut; Teller. Colorado; Lodge,
Massachusetts; Patterson, Illinois
Warmouth, Louisiana; and the chair
man. Burleigh, of Washington, moved
to enlarge the committee, on the
ground that It should represent every
section of the country. Foraker re
lied that he did not consider geogra
phy In the make-up of the committee,
but appointed men to represent the
different Ideas on the currency ques
tion as nearly as possible. The motion
to Increase th committee carried, and
Burleigh, of Washington, and Lauter-
bach, of New York, were added.
The sub-committee on resolutions re
solved to recommend to the committee
on resolutions the following financial
plank:
The Republican party Is unreserved
ly for sound money. It caused the en
actment of the law providing for the
resumption of specie payment tn '79;
since then every dollar has been as
good as gold.
'We are unalterably opposed to ev
ery measure calculated to debase our
currency, or impair the credit of our
country. We are, therefore opposed to
the free coinage of silver, except by
International agreement with the lead
ing commercial nations, which we
ledge ourselves to promote, and until
such agreement can be obtained, the
existing gold standard must be pre-
rved. All our atlver and paper cur
rency now tn circulation must be main
tained at a parity, and we favor all
measures designed to maintain Invio
late the obligations of the United
States, and all our money, whether
coin or paper, at the present standard,
the standard of the most enlightened
nations of the earth."
This will go to the full committee to
morrow.
Despite the general feeling that the
ticket will be McKinley and Morton,
the latter's name will not go on the
ticket without the most vehement pro
t't of the antl-I'litt faction. Headed
by Warner Miller, they are . bending
their energies to prevent Morton'
nomination for vice-president. The
breach In the New York delegation,
between the Piatt and Miller factions,
wa Intensified today when a telegram
from Morton to Piatt wa received, sig
nifying his acceptance of the vlee
preslilential standard. If he failed In
the presidential race.
"L. P. Morton cannot go on the ticket
with William McKinley." ald Warner
Miller, the leader of the antl-Platt fac
tion. "We will Invoke the aid of Mc
Kinley'a managers to asxlst us against
this Injection of national politics into
our atate fight," and hi follower add
ed their "ye" to the statement.
By 7 o'clock a petition was finding
It way through the New York delega
tion reading:
"In the Interest of the Republican
party we; the delegates from the state
of New York to the national conven
tion, protest against the dragging of
our party struggles In the state into
the national canvass, and record our
selves as opposed to placing any of our
fellow citizens upon the ticket as a
candidate for vice-president.
McKINLEY AND MORTON.
St Louis, June If. The sentiment re
garding the vtee-presldentlal question
rapidly crys tallied today when it be
came definitely known that Governor
Morton, of New York, waa willing to
accept. If the nomination came to blm
with any degree of unanimity. It
seems almost reasonably certain now
that the ticket wilt be McKinley and
Morton.
The shock of battle which took place
In the committee rooms, will thunder
on the floor of the convention tomor
row. The action of the committee on
credentials In deciding In favor of the
findings of the national committee, tn
one or two Instances, It ia believed,
will make the convention brief, and
many now believe that final adjourn
ment will be reached Thursday. Indi
cations are that the sensational climax
will come tomorrow when the report of
the resodlutlons committee Is present
ed." - - . ..(- - ...
Miller, Cornelius N. Bliss and S. V.
R. Cruger went at once to the Ohio
headquarters to ask about the rumor
that bad been spread that Ohio was
favorable to Morton. Miller, when he
returned, said:
"Ohio will not support Morton. Ban
na's only promise to New York was
that If the delegation was a unit on
one man for vice-president, he would
throw his Influence towards the selec
tion. We are against Morton, and
Hanna will not stand for any promise
to Piatt,"
Piatt declined In the most positive
manner to say anything for publica
tion. Perhaps the most curious feature of
the evening was the 'announcement by
Hackett, of New York, that Foraker
had told him that if Hanna'a loyalty
towards the Warner Miller faction in
New York kept him from an expresl
slon for Morton and bade him assist
Miller, he, Foraker, could deliver twen
ty-four of the forty-six votes of Ohio
for Morton, besides many other Mc
Kinley states.-
Early In the evening the estimated
strength for Morton, without MlKin-
ley's managers' assistance, was given
as 397 votes.

STKONG FOR SOUND MONEY

Tart; Is too Strosg to See
It Wrecked by Silver.
Washington, June 16. In reply to a
request from the New York Herald
for a statement concerning the Dem
ocratic situation. President Cleveland
tonight sent the following to that news
paper:
"I have made no figure a to tho
probable action of the delegate al
ready chosen, or to be chosen, to tho
Democratic convention, but I refuse to
believe that when tho time arrives for
deliberate action there will be en
grafted upon our Democratic creed a
demand for the free- unlimited and In
dependent coinage of silver. I cannot
believe this, because I know tho Dem
ocratic party la neither unpatriotic aor
foolish, and because It seem clear to
me that such action will Inflict a Tory
great Injury upon every Interest of
our country, which it has been tho
mission of the Democracy to advance,
and will result in lasting disaster to
our party organization. There is little
hope that, as a means of success this
free silver proposition, after Its thor
ough discussion during the political
campaign, will carry a majority of the
votes of the country. It must be that
the many illusions Influencing thoae)
now relying upon this alleged panacea
for their Ills will be dispelled before
the time comes for them to cast tho
ballots which will express their sober
second thought. The adoption by the
Democracy of this proposition would,
I belleva, give to our opponent en 4
vantage, both in the present and the
future, which they don't deserve.
"My attachment to true Democracy
Is ao strong that I consider its success
as identical with the promotion of the
country's good. This ought sufficiently
to account for my anxiety that no mis
take be made at our party convention.
In my opinion, no effort should be
spared to secure such action of the
delegates as will avert party demorali
sation. It is the place for consultation
and comparison of views, and those
Democrats who believe in the cause
of sound money should be heard and
be constantly in evidence. A cause
worth fighting for Is worth fighting for
to the end. If sound money Democrats
waver In their support, there is dan
ger of a mistake being made. I sua
very far from arrogating to myself the
controlling Influence upon the policy
of my party, but as an unflinching
Democrat, who has been honored by
his party, and who desires hereafter
no greater political privilege than to
occupy the place of private in the
ranks, I hope I may not be blamed for
saying this much at this time in the
interest of that grand old organization,
so rich in honorable traditions, so Just
ly proud of its achievements, and al
ways sound, undaunted, and brave la
its battles for the people's welfare."
CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATS.
Lively Set-to Over Contested Seats Al
most Ended in a Row.
Sacramento, June 16. The California
Democratic convention met In this city
today. Two contesting delegations -of
161 members each appeared -from San
Francisco and precipitated what prom
ised to be a serious conflict. The tac
tion known as the Buckley wing broke
Into the convention hall an hour before
the convention met, and seated them
selves In the section set apart for the
faction known as the Junta, which has
been recognized by the state .commit
tee. On test of strength the Buckley
delegation were twice defeated today,
and the final solution of the question
rests with the victorious Junta. The
committee on credentials wlll render a
report on the San Francisco contests
