The boys In blue cam assure them aolvea ot a royal good time while there as many delightful young ladlea are at Qearhart this season. Yesterday morning the early boats carried large crowds of passengers for the Clatsop resorts. The Dwyer with a party of Astorian went ov.t to Fla vel, leaving the city at 6:45, and was followed by the Ocean Ware from Portland at 7:30, most of whoae pns aengera were transferred to the poaches of the A. and C. R. railroad, though a few went over to the beach on the north side. The White Collar Line evidently was not on familiar terms with the new schedule and delayed the train at Flavel somewhat after leaving time and thua afforded the Dwyer'a tourists an opportunity to Inspect the Flavel hotel, much to their satisfaction. Though the weather at Astoria, be ing rather damp and Inclined towards fog, did not give promise of a bright warm day at the beach, contrary to expectation, the air waa mild and In vigorating, and the tenderfoot with camera or flshngsket and the hunter after game reveled In their respective pleuaure, while the bliyi li r Indus trlouKly peduled to rul off additional mill's on his wheel and niuku a show- iK by Ills cyelumetex. The bather were In evidence, too, as were also the spectators, who seem ed hui(ely tn enjoy lying In th sand ud playing antics ordinarily quite out of line wllh their staid dlsposl- lons. Cannon lieach Is becoming one of he most popular roaorts In this region, and everyone who visits there Is en thusiastic In singing It praises; and th favor which the Holladay place meets Is att-Med by tlx large crowd f guests who greeted the opening of he hotel there ahuut a wek ago.

BRYAN FINALLY NOMINATED Tkc Lost Star iTtate Akc4 Qststioss Vkat Vert Not sercd Kaaip Costea tioa Meld What Will tfet Mirvcst Dt? Bt. Louis, July Ji. William Jen nlngs Iiryan, of Nebraska, who was nominated by the Democratic national convention at Chicago a fortnight ago, waa today made the atandard-bearcr of the People's Parly by a vote of 1042 to 121. The DeitVicratlc candidate was nominated in the face of his own pro test, in the shape ot a telegram dl rectlng the withdrawal of his name, Bent to Senator Jones, after Bewail, hia running mate, had been ditched for the vlce-prvsldentlal nomlamtlon last night, asnl Thomas F. Watson, at Grargla, had bee named for second place on the ticket. It ants also raeule la the tatce ot opposition o bitter that after the convention adjourned some of tbe radical held a "rump', con ventlox The last session Of 'the convention, which lasted from 30 this tnornlng untl almost o'clock this evening, was marked by scenes of turbulence and nuHy excitement wfeloh aevaral times bordered on actual riot, and. which al most precipitated personal collisions. One fist flsht did occur, a delegate waa ejected, and a Went Virginia delegate. ilnftamed by the action of the conven tion, walked sullenly out Kit the ball. The storm center, aa on previous. days waa In the Texas delegation. But the really dramatic fan t urea of this wild session, w-.-re enacted behind tbe scenes. Humors of what was going on In the wings reached the delegates. but they knee.' nothlag definitely and to that very end the message from Bryan, w hlrh might have changed tbe result, was kvpt from their ears. The Poputtit Bryan managers decid ed at the cutset Kiday to disregard Bryan's telegram ot last night and to nominate b-.m and straighten out the tangle afterwards. Gen. Weaver ploc ed Bryan In nomination and General Field, ot Virginia, moved to make the nomination unanfcnous. Chairman Al len held that the motion was In ordr and that until the motion was decil ed. the ciSl of states for nomination, which wax erderd by the contention, could not proceed. This ruling sJmost precipitated a riot Some cheered. some JCtmed, 'some fought, aad there would probably have beea serious trouble liad not the Bryan leaders concluded to mhandon this so-vesardetl hlgb-husBed 'SK-ogram. But la doing so they otpeoftl the floodgates, srnd tor six hours hours the conventkm was deluged with oratory. Moat of the. speakers secenled Bryan's nomination. .About fifty seconding speeches were made. The Middle-of-the-road eontln gent insisted aipon knowing at every opportunity If, In view of bis telttrram. whether liryaii would stand oat the platform and accept the noiniaation. But all these pointed questions were neatly parTlelL The Texan HCteeatlon sent a. meoge ll ... T. n . iTI 1 ..1 t.. .1 1 r IU OlfU f UL.U1S UI- l.reot auesUon fto htm. To this no an swer was recaired, but the Democratic candidate had been in constant com munication with Senator Jones, chalr Bian of the Democratic national coii Mtttee, and wmtl came to the convea tkm hall that Jones had a message which he wanted the convention to rtvau. It was then, upon suggestloa of Senator Alien, that a motion was caned In the nonfuslon Just before the kallot was taken, that may prove to be the key by which the complica tion ait tend lng the desired union ot all the silver forces may be unlocked. It waa a auotton confenrlng upon national committee plenary powers all the powers, as the motVen stated of the conventfen Itself.- Same ot the radicals pricked up their ears when the motion was put, and there was a vague pro test but It Is certain that the rank and file of the convention did not real ise its full Import. As the roll call was proceeding, Governor Stone, of Missouri, appeared on the platform, with the Bryan message, but Senator Allen would not permit him to read It to the convention. The Populist lead era had decided to go ahead with Bry an's nomination, irrespective of the wishes of the Democratic managers. Humors that such a message was In the convention aroused the Lone Star delegates to a frenzy, and "Stump" Ashby demanded to know If there was a message from Bryan on the secre tary's table. Chairman Allen promptly responded that there was not, but there was some talk of a "fictitious" message somewhere, he had not se?n It. Literally, of course. Senator Allen was correct. He said afterwards In ex planation of his action that Bryan was the overwhelming choice of the convention; that, the telegram, what ever tt was, was not addressed to the convention, or to. a Populist delegate; that it waa purely a Democratic ne gotiation, and something with which the Populist convention had nothing to do. When the roll call was completed was found that Bryan had l'M2 out of the 1400 votes In the convention. Frank 8. Norton, of Chicago, was the only other candidate. Ignatius Donnelly, of Minnesota, and General foxey, of Ohio, were nominat ed, but their names were withdrawn. Norton received 221 votes, Debs 10, and Donnelly L The convention was hastily adjourn ed after liryBn had been declared the imlnee, and the radicals in the Texas. Arkansas, California. Illinois nd Maine delegation proceeded to or ganize their "rump" convention. After adjournment Senator Jones re fused to give out Bryan message ana immediately posted off to Lincoln to confer with tbe "Silver Knight of the West," regarding the situation. Aa to the future, all is problematical Whether Bryan will decline the nom ination Is canvassed. There Is, as there boa been for soma dsys, talk of Bewail' voluntary withdrawal, but af ter the stand Bryan and Senator Jones nave token, this I not considered prob able. It is atrongly Intimated tonight that Watson may be Induced to with draw In the Interest ot such a union. THE SILVER MEN. They Inflict Another Address and Call for Contributions. St Louis, July 25. The national com mittee ot the silver party has Issued an address to the public It Is signed by the committee, and says: Inasmuch aa It haa beea charged upon the national silver party assem bled In St Louis that we are a con vention ot repudkvtora, revolutionists and anarchists, we submit the follow. lng to the candid judgment of the peo ple. In oor -delegations are four veterans ot our Mexican war; forty-nine ex- Confederaies and 196 Cnlon army vet erans of the lae war. Of tbe 730 dele gates attending, nine are Prohibition ists, forty-nine Populists, 146 Demo crats and K2C are Republicans. Cnder this composition of tbe con vention we appeal to all true patriots without Teewd to -previous party affil iations, to TOte for Hon. W. J. Bryan for president, and Hon.

The result of their election will he the restoration ot free silver on equal xerms wun guio, puuiu thereby tor a 'growing volume, of money which will tend to disseminate rather thaa to .aggregate wealth, and which win relieve the present depres sion and replace It with wide prosper ity.

Cloudbursts In the loothllls went of Denver last nlghf resulting In floods in which twenty nine persona are known to have per illed, were followed :thls afternoon by another terrible storm which has sel dom been equalled rn this vicinity. Abuut 1:30 dark clouds gathered in the northwest, and rapidly rolled toward the ity. A little before 2 o'clock rain and hall began to fall furiously. Ac cording to Weather Observer Braden burg, seventy one-nundredths of an Inch at water feU In ten minutes, beat ing all local recorde. So tar as yet known there was no loss of life In this city, and the damage was confined principally to to tbe breaking of win dow lights and the destruction of growing crops. At Morrison, seventeen miles from Denver, where twenty-two persons were drowned In the flood last night, tbe people were terror strlckefn when they saw the second storm approach ing this afternoon. Hall began to fall shortly after 1 o'clock. The storm continued with Increasing force until nearly 4 o'clock, w hen a black cloud of unusual density began to gather In the vicinity of Mount Vernon, a few miles from Morrison. Then the cloudburst came and In an Instant a wall of water came down fully six feet higher than was ever seen before. Every thing In its path was washed away. The flood In this gulch last evening was but light as compared to the one today. It Is hoped, but It is by no means certain, that residents and campers in the gulch, realizing their danger, had all escaped to places of safety be- j fore the flood came. .

CAPITAL CAN BE SIXTKED Salt Mills. Dry Dock. Electors asd floor Mills Cook Trrst OS the Ttoqitm. as Saoatd Be Started This Vert. There Is a tide in the affairs of men. Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. .That Astoria's opportunity Is at hand, which. If taken advantage of. will lead on to fortune, every business man ta the city knows to be a fact. The flood tide Is now ready to carry forward this city and community to such an eminence of prosperity aa few of Its own citizens have even dared to dream of. President Lincoln said to those who were complaining ot General Grant, that he liked tbe gen eral and believed in him because he Improved his opportunities. Welling ton took advantage of tbe atorm at Waterloo and won for the English a mighty victory from seeming defeat. Today one of the promising finan ciers of the West, who is recognized as one of the Pacific's shrewdest bus iness men, stands ready to develop the latent resources of Astoria and Clatsop county and quadruple the wealth of the entire state. If the peo ple of this community will do one third of the work, be stands ready to do the rest. If Astoria will put np but a small part of the necessary cap ital for the establishment of those en terprises which will make pay rolls here, he will put to ,the balance. If Clatsop county can't raiie whaat and sen It, she can sell what nature l as already provided for her. "What are the principal Industries and lines ot commorc which ned de- . veloplng here? What Is It that will make Astoria the leading commercial port on the Pacific Northwest coast? What Is It that will furnlah employ ment for the people who will be will ing and glad to come here when they learn that they can make a comforta nT living? Next to the railroad now nnder construction, and the Nicaragua f canal, which will, beyond a doubt, b nH-ned by a patriotic and loyal people within the next few years, what is ro Quired to forward the Immediate inter eets of this port? Factories and ay rdlls must now and always will be, the principal adjuncts to the shipping In terests of Astoria and Portland. The Cdlumbia river will control the trade of Iliis coast with the Orient. The ship ments of wheat from Oregon and East ern Washington will be made from this .port. To balance these lines of commerce there must "be factories and pay rolls, employment for people will' aid In the development of the Internal resources of the country. A sawmill plant capable of manufacturing 200,00$ feet of lumber a day and of utilizing; the refuse by making it into sash, ' doors and blinds. Is one of the first industries needed in Astoria Another is a dry dock which can handle the largest ships in the merchant marine as well as war vessels. A "lour mill, with a capacity of manufacturing sur plus wheat Into cargoes for oriental shlpmen, and large elevators for the storage of grain, come second on the list. Other factories will follow nat urally In the wake of these. Work, work, work, which Is the highest gen ius ot any people, is all that Is wanted to secure these great enterprises. The opportunity is here. It remains with the people to take advantage of it Capital can be secured in abundance if the people themselves take hold of these propositions. If there are those who cannot give much money or land, let them give their work and energies in fact, what they have. ; The wid ow's mite brought as great a reward as the rich man's larger donations. It is the spirit and enterprise of the times, as so forcibly exemplified in Chicago, Kansas City, St. Paul, Spo kane and Seattle, that achieves the victory. The beginning has been made, the railroad is well under way, let the good work be rounded out This week should see great steps taken towards the securing of the first enterprises which will assure the success desired. Everyone In this community knows what has to be done. The opportunity is here; let each and all put hs or her shoulder to the wheel and push for victory. It can be done, and before another Sunday comes, four great en terprises should have been launched In Astoria. ' ftW. sM M sfWaV 5? 'alUiliUl, WlfisUVi
