People' Tarty are now In the hania
of Senutor Butler, of North Carolina,
chairman of the natloiiul committer.
Today the member of the executive
committee, made a formal etttement
with the new committee, They turn
ed owr to Coalman Butler and Sec
retary Edgerton all the money on

mine whether or not It will be con
tinued there.
Tl.e selection of the Populist head
iiuurler ha been left to Chairman
Holler, and a decision aa to that mat
ter will probably not be made for sev
eral week.
While it has not yet been definitely
decided, there will probably be no for
mal notification of liryan by either
Populous of the silver men. It was
learned from a prominent weatern
member of the silver national com
mittee that It Is the Intention of both
the silver men and th Populists to
waive formal notification until the
meeting In New York, at which Bry
an's nomination will le announced.
A proposition lokl:iK to tho fUHlon
of the two parties In Missouri on the
state ticket has, It Is stated, been
made by the Populists to the Demo
cratic leader who nnve it under con
sideration. As the price for thla fu
sion, the Populist have demanded
thut they be given tight out ot the
seventeen presidential elector In the
slate. If thla concession Is not made
the Populist win put a state ticket In
the Meld at their convention which will
lie held at Sevlalla next Thursday.
The middle-of-the-road delegate to
the Populist convention have appoint
ed a "provisional" national committee
to decide on the future action of the
Populists In case Bryan should not
accept the nomination tendered him,
or endorse the platform adopted by
the convention.. Henry L. Call, of
New York, until recently of Kansas.
delegate at large from the state of
New York to the People's Party na
tional convention, and a prominent
mlddle-of-the road Populist, has been
appointed chairman of this provision
al comlttee.
8ILVERITES TO NOTIFY.
New York. Jul 27. W. P. St. John,
treausrer of the national silver party,
returned today from the St. Louis con
vention, lie said:
' The national sliver party haa ac-
cepted an Invitation from Baltimore
merchants to notify Bryan and Sewall
In the city of Baltimore. The notifi
cation will be made about fourteen
days after the Democratic notification
In New York.
"In state and municipal affairs the
national party will not move. This
will leave the Republican to vote
their own state ticket, but now tho
silver party will have a congressional
candidate In every district where a
Democratic nominee favors the gold
standard."
PETTIGREW RESIGNS.
Washington, July 17. Senator Pettl
grew, of South Dakota, who followed
Senator Teller In his bolt from the Re
publican convention at St. Louis, has
resigned as a member of the Republi
can congressional committee. There
are a number of avowed advocates ot
the gold standard on the Democratic
concessional committee standing
practically as much in opposition to
the platform and ticket as Senator
Pettlgrew did, but no resignation
have been reported from tho Demo
cratic committee. It Is said that when
the Democratic national committee
opens headquarters, a few days hence,
one of the first subjects to be taken
up will be the attitude ot certain meu
toward the national platform and
ticket, who having been nominated
as presidential electors on the Demo
cratic ticket prior to the Chicago con
vention have since that time repudiat
ed both the platform and ticket and
are publicly credited with the Inten
tion to vote for McKlnley.
POPULISTS IN WASHINGTON,
Tacoma, July 27. It became known
today that Chairman Bulger, of the
PopulUt state committee, has called
a state convention of the People's
party to meet at Ellensburg, August
12. Most ot the county conventions
will be held August 4 and S. It Is
strongly Intimated that Chairman Bul
ger, who Is a strong middle-of-the
road ' man, has been ' endeavoring to
keep his call quiet until about August
1, In order to prevent the Democratic
and free silver parties from holding
convention In Ellcmthurg at the aame
time, In order to effect a fusion with
the Populist on a state ticket. The
parties will now have Just time enough
to hold primaries and convention and
get to Ellcnburg on Auguat 12. Chair
man Bulger haa not a few middle-of-the
romi follower, but the Indication
are strong that a fusion of the state
tli ki t will he named and the legisla
tive district divided between the
Democrat and Populist.
Mayor Kelt, a Populist ot Spokane,
and James Hamilton Lewi, a Demo
crat, of Seattle, are the two most
prominent aspirants for the guberna
torial nomination on ttfe fusion ticket.
Within the last few days It has de
veloped that a strong canvass Is being
made In the Interest of Judge George
Turner, of Spokane, the recent free
silver Republican bolter from the lie
publican party. Some of the free sil
ver Republican Itader declare that
Turner Is certain to be the fusion can
didate for governor.

ternational agreement can be arrived
at, Nevada and every other state In
the Union will be more prosperous.
We shall pitch our tent on the Repub
lican platform."

AT CLATSOP
SUMMER RESORTS

The seaaon at Clatsop beach has
fairly begun. AH the summer resorts
have a goodly number of guests and
the camping grounds are filled with
tents. Not for many year has there
been so many campers aa at present
have taken possession of the beautiful
groves at Seaside and Gearhart. Tbey
seem to be having the best time of all
and are there for the purpose of get
ting all the recreation and health
that can be had.
At Seaside the McGuIre and Grimes
hotel are well filled and all of the
cottage are occupied. The store are
doing a good business and there are
many new one thla season. The Hol
laday place la more attractive than
ever, while many pleasure seeker
have gone to Elk Creek. The Satur
day night ball at Seaside are proving
an attractive feature, while the boat
ing on the Necannlcum never was so
popular as It 1 now. The fishing Is
good, and many prefer bathing at high
tide In the creek rather than In the
open surf.
Beautiful Gearhart Is handsomer
than ever, and Manager Barmore has
determined to make it the resort of
resorts on the beach. The grounds
have been Improved, hammock have
been swung in all the trees, various
kinds ot amusements Indoor and out
have been provided, while dancing and
music in the evening help to while
away the hours. Life lines have been
stretched on the bathing ground, and
a surf man takes care that no one ven
tures too tar from shore. Mr. Bar
more knows how to take care of his
people, and already has a large fam
ily under his care. Twice a week a
clambake I given on the beach, while
Immense bonfires afford comfort to
those who like to enjoy the evenings
out of doors. The drives and bridle
paths In and about Gearhart afford
much pleasure to those who enjoy the
beauties of nature. Altogether Ore
gon has reason to be proud of her
summer resorts.

CLATSOP POLITICS.
What They Are Doing at the Seaside
Places.
Clatsop. July 26, 1S96.
Editor Astorlan:
Everything on this side of the bay
Is full of life.
At this time of the year the crabs
shake hands with the big bugs from
the interior, and the clams acquire
better knowledge of the Interior than
before.
The greenness of those superior be
ings from Interior cities Is somewhat
amusing to the people here, as well
as ours would be In some of the cites.
The following remark is heard quite
often: "The tide is coming In now, is
It not?" "Yes." "I suppose the waves
run the other way when the tide is
going out."
The railroad company has done, and
is still doing, a big amount of work
this year. When all the work on the
old line is done that is commenced,
the road will be practically a new one.
The railroad Is giving better satis
faction now than it used to give; not
from any bad qualities It used to
have, but from the better qualities
now. People generally like both Les
ter and ,Walker.
Some of the boys tell a joke on
Walker, that the way to tell if you
are on a first class train Is that Walk
er wears good clothes, and smiles all
the way through from Flavel to Sea
side. But if you see him doff his con
ductor cap at Warrenton, replace it by
a skull cap, remove his coat and vest,
loose the top button of his pants, and
spit on his hands, and cast his eagle
eye among the crowd, then you may
know that you are on a mixed train.
The hay crop was not large this
year, but It has been secured In first
class condtloin.
Most of the farmers will do better
t'ais year than last, because better
prices prevail. Potatoes will probably
be worth twice as much as last year,
or more.
Judge Gray and the city councilmen,
Messrs Young and McGregor, passed
by here yesterday. They were exam
ining the prospects for a good road
from the city to the sea. I would
Ilka It very much If I had been with
them, for I could show them many
tiling that would be apt to escape ob
servation on a first trip over the road;
uch as gravel deposits, and places
where the road cculd he made shorter
and on better grades. There are little
changes to be made In a number of
place before It I on the selected route
of the last viewers that went over It.
But it will be, when on grade, a very
good route, not exceeding seven per
cent In any place on the west side of
Young's river, to the old road on Clat
sop, and at this time of the year, with
out anything but the native dirt, will
be a good bicycle road.
Several that I have talked with
think that the Hon. C. W. Fulton has
struck the key note to the political
situation so far as sliver Is concerned.
One shrewd old farmer remarked
"that the whole financial question was
Ju;,t a a ub-cutaneous Inflammation
on the posterior portion of the body
politic. Those were not his exact
words but that was what be meant;
and he said, "Kicking it would only
make it bigger. Soft soap and sugar
Is best for that kind of a thing, with
lots of sugar. The amount s't I,
that the Democrats hadn't anything
else to declare for, so that they bad to
declare for free silver or bust. There's
no use of the Republicans lock
ing horns with 'em on that The
best fighting bull ever I saw was a
muley, and about the time t'other fel
low thought he had him. he'd slip on
one side and come ca'tunk In the ribs,
and tumble him over. It's all very
well to talk about fighting this out to
a finish, but what we want to dd 'is
to elect McKlnley first, tbene all who
are anxious to fight can do so. There'
are several planks In the platform that
are placed ahead of the financial
plank, and were considered of more
Importance by the makers of the
platform. It is Just as well to not
overlook those more Important planks,
and try to make a bolectlon moulding
out of the financial plank. It might
be possible that this state's vote will
be needed by McKlnley; so the soap
and sugar application should be used
on the ferunculus, and tbe kicking
suspended till after November. Then
we can all have a free flght if neces
sary." Some assert that old leaders are try
ing to split the party so as to prove
that tbe state will not go Republican
without their leadership.

SUNDAY AT CATHLAMET.
Herman Wise's Picnic a Grand Suc
cess In Every Way.
Four hundred and fifty people at
tended Herman Wise's picnic to Cath
lamet Sunday, the Ocean Wave car
rying as many as by law allowed. The
day was an Ideal picnic day not too
warm, nor still too cool. The Astoria
Military Band, under the direction of
Mr. Joseph Gtibbler, was in attend
ance, and the music furnished was one
of the most pleasing . features of the
excursion.
Arriving at Cathlamet, the picnick
ers repaired to the baseball grounds,
where the Press nine, of Astoria, and
a picked Cathlamet team crossed
sticks. Three Examiners played with
the Press team Allen, center field;
BufBngton, pitcher, and Lovett, catch
er. Mr. R. Coxhead Lee umpired the
gome. He will be buried tomorrow,
under the auspices of the Ancient Or
der of Prevaricators. The Interment
will take place in the potters' field.
The game was quite Interesting, al
though all kinds of runs were made.
A feature of the day was the heavy
batting for the visitors of Ignatius
Grant and Maskrey. In the sixth In
ning Grant went to the bat with
the avowed intention ot losing the
sphere. The first ball he put far out
In the left field, but it was a foul; the
sceond was dropped in almost the
same place. Then the pitcher threw a
few balls, after which he put a pretty
one right over the plate. Nace didn't
do a thing to it but send It far out
over the centerflelder's head. He made
a home run amid the cheers of the
crowd. Maskrey did some good bat
ting, making three three-baggers and
a home run. Astoria won the game by
a score of 28 to 17.
The races as programed were all
closely contested, after which dancing
was Indulged In. The affair was very
successful and the large crowd thor
oughly enjoyed themselves. Mr. Wise
is to be congratulated upon the suc
cessful manner in which the picnic
was conducted.

THE GOOD BARK
COLOMA RETURNS
Captain Noycs Is Welcomed Home
bj Hl Hundreds of
Friends.
TIMES IMPROVED IS ORIENT
Batiaei is til tines Very .lack Better This
Tear Taas is tbe rst 0ck Trip
Had rron Sas rrascisco
to tke Colombia.
The good bark Coloma, the favorite
In Portland and Astoria, reached port
Saturday evening from San Franclnca
Without doubt Captain Noyes i the
favorite (kipper with all Portlander
and residents of Astoria, Since the
captain's arrival In the city he has
been entertained by many of bis old
friends who were glad to welcome h)m
borne from the Orient.
In conversation with aa Astorlan
representative yesterday, Captain
Noyes said that he left Hongkong on
his return voyage April 9, having on
board 1650 tons, consisting of a gen
eral cargo of oriental goods for San
Francisco, The latter port waa reach
ed in fifty-nine days, no stops being
made anywhere en route, and fairly
good weather having been experienced
on the entire trip. The captain's wife
and daughter are with him, having
ihada jhe round voyage once more, as
they have many times in the past
The entire cargo was discharged in
San Francisco, without one cent's rec
lamation being made. . This Is an ex
ceptional record and in keeping with
Captain Noyes' successful business
policy. The .Coloma left San Fran
cisco for this port Saturday, July It.
arriving here in a little less than fif
teen days' time. The captain is sat
isfied with having made better time
than many coaster which left about
the date that he did, and particularly
with having beaten the time made by
Captain Patterson, of the Tsm O'Shan
ter. The Coloma brought a cargo of
salt from San Francisco for Lewis,
of Portland.
Captain Noyes says that business In
Hongkong this year is a hundred per
cent better than It was on his last
trip. In fact, all lines of trade were
booming. The stock market was very
lively, and shares were selling at good
prices. The captain stated that the
Orient is a magnificent market for
Oregon timber and spars. He also
said that if a saw mill plant was es
tablished here capable ot turning out
export timber and lumber, he would
never go to Portland for another load
as It would be much preferable to load
at the mouth of the river and save
towage to and from Portland. Not
only expense would be saved, but a
great deal of time, which is a valua-
I ble consideration on long ocean voy
ages. He had a talk with Mr. Ham
mond yesterday, and hopes that by
another season he will be able to se
cure his cargo at Astoria and uave
that much time on his annual voyage.
It will be a pround day for Astoria
whene he can load his staunch ship at
the very mouth of the river with Or
egon's best product and deliver it In
the Orient at good prices.
The Harvest Queen will tow the Co
loma up the river, leaving here at
o'clock this morning.
SHERIFF DOUGLASS KILLED.
Nevada, Cal., July 27. Sheriff Doug
lass went out yesterday to search for
a highway robber. Not returning, and
his horse and buggy being found tied
up half a mile from town this morn
ing, a searching party went out. The
sheriff and the robber were both found
dead about a mile from town and
only a few feet from each other. Five
chambers were empty in the sheriffs
revolver, and he was shot through the
heart, iu the right eye and through
the hand. The highwayman also wa
shot three times, through the heart
in the abdomen and hip. The robber
had a rifle but it did not appear to
have been used. It is thought that
Douglass was killed by a pal of the
dead robber.
