In receiv ing the farmers and merchants from Lawrence county, Pennsylvania, today, Major McKlnley said: The wing of the Democratic party which controlled the Chicago conven. lln Is Just as much in favor of free trade a the wing of the Democratic party jn control of the national admin Istrailon. Triumph this year for the Chicago platform would be a signal victory for free trade and for a continuance of the free trade legislation which al ready has resulted so disastrously to the American people and entailed upon the government deficient revenues, dl mlnished trade abroad and starvation wages at home. Thia wing of the Dem ocratlc party believes not only In tree trade, but It believes In free silver at the ratio of 1 to 1. (Cries of Down with free silver.) Having diminished our business, they now seek to" dlmln lull the value of our money. Having cut wages In two they want to cut the money In which wages are paid in two and we will not have either one or the other. The other wing of the Democratic party is patriotically striving for public honor and is opposed to free coinage of silver because it believes such policy would disturb existing values. contract the currency of the country by depriving us of the use of gold, ahd putting us on a silver basis, thus creat Ing widespread panic and bringing to every American In the south serious Injury. My fellow citizens, will the people turn to that party for relief whose policy has created'tbe conditions under which we are suffering and from which they are crying out to be re lieved (Cries of No, no. never.) What we want now is business activ ity and confidence. With business con fidence restored money will be Invested In private and public enterprises and when so Invested labor will be well re warded and the toiler and husbandman will be fully requited. The people want neither free trade nor free silver. One will degrade our laborers and the other our money. ThftEE KILLED. Gasoline Launch Explodes With Fatal Results. Special to the Astorlan. Marshtteld, Or., August 22. Captain Wylie, wife and Infant child lost their lives early Thursday morning by the explosion of A. W. Reed's gasoline launch on Smith IUver. H. Songstack en. of Mnrshflcld. R. H. Pickering, of Portland, and Charles Meade, of Oar- llner. had gotten out of the boat ten minutes before the accident. The launch was a small craft of four tons which was utilized to carry milk to the creamery. Capt. Wylle left three passengers at Sherrett's land ing about ten minutes before he ran on to a rock, where the fatal accident happened. The gasoline gave out and the captain attempted to fill the sup ply tank from a smaller one. The 11- quid evidently took fire before the ex plosion occurred, as John Graham, a deck hand, and a boy 14 years old saw what was about to happen and Jumped overboard. The captain started to take his family out, but before he could do so the tank became heated and exploded. Gra ham and the boy swam ashore. The bodies were all recovered and the boat was found hung up on the rock and burned to the water mark on one side. BANKS NOT FAVORABLE. Do Not Want to Issue Certificates to Relieve the Merchants. New Tork, August 22. A meeting of the clearing house committee of the as sociated banks will be held on Monday to consider applications for loan certi ficates. The committee Is opposed to the Issuing of certificates, believing such action uncalled for by any exist ing financial or commercial conditions. This view Is not generally entertained In financial circles. At the time of the depression In 1893, when the stringency In money compell ed measures for the Importation of gold, there were outstanding $33,000,000 of clearing house certificates. The Is sue at this time would, it is believed, greatly facilitate the Imports of gold and would alleviate the distress In mer cantile circles. SITUATION BETTER. New York, August 22. The Financier says: The statement of the clearing ho ise banks of New York for the week end ing August 22, came as an agreeable surprise after th gloomy forecasts which had been made as to the de crease of the reserve. The actual de crease was only 1127.525. The heaviest change was In the deposits which was th logical effects of the contraction In loans and the withdrawal of funds to the west and south, the movement toward these two points continuing In undiminished volume. The continued demand for money from these centers of course makes It necessary for the banks to rail In (be outstanding loans, and the statement shows that thia Is what prevented a much heavier loss In the reserves. In fart, the position of the banks is as strong as It waa one week ago, as they have taken full measures to protect themselves, but as money Is badly needed the Issue of Clearing bouse cer tificates. If decided noon at th mac-t ing to be called Monday, will corns' as a relief to the mercantile world. OREGON DEMOCRATS. Mass Meeting Declares for Gold- Cleveland Endorsed. Portland, August 22. The gold standard Democrats of Oregon held a mass convention today and selected eight delegates to represent them at the national convention to be held at Indianapolis, September 2. L. L. Mc- Arthur. ex-United States district at torney, was chosen chairman. In his address to the convention McArthur Id that the pleasing feature of the convention waa the absence of those in whom the lust of office has not stifled every feeling of manly Inde pendence." He denounced the platform adopted by Chicago convention as departure from true Democracy and a surrender to Populism. He said that while he endorsed the financial plank of the Republican national platform he could not support McKlnley In his high protective tariff views. The following were selected as delegates to Indian apolis: C. E. S. Wood. W. M. Whldden, L. L. McArthur, J. H. Albert, E. O. Can field, Zera Snow, J. W. Bennett, and E. R. Sklpworth. The question of selecting electors was left to the state central committee, which will meet after the Indianapolis convention. The platform favors the use of both gold and silver as money upon secure lines, but not otherwise. It Is opposed to the free and unlimited coinage of sliver at the ratio of 1 to 1 without like action on the part of other great nations. The administra tion of President Cleveland Is strongly commended. Continuing, the platform condemns the protection policy of the Republican party, and says: 'We recognise In Import duties the most efficacious means of raising reve nue to defray the expenses of the gov ernment, but we hold that the prime object of this system was to provide revenue, and that protection Is Its In cident; and we affirm that as admin istered by the Republican party it Is the fundamental cause of the Ills which now afflict the country and for which we hold the mlsgovernment by that party primarily responsible." The platform then declares In favor of the nomination of candidates for iresident and vice-president. THE BROOKLYN. Philadelphia. August 22. Amid the blasts of whistles, the cruiser Brooklyn, sister to the New" York, passed down the Delaware river this morning on her way to F.oston harbor, where she will have her trial trip next week. The Brooklyn Is guaranteed to make 20 knots, and for each quarter knot over this the'government will pay the build ers a bonus of $50,000. WHEAT GOES CP. Chicago, August 22. The foreign de mand for wheat waa very much in evidence again today. Wheat offered by cable yesterday afternoon to United Kingdom ports was almost unanimous ly accepted. These acceptances from abroad were supported by the strength of the foreign market and a strong start to the Chicago wheat market was the result. SECRETARY SMITH RESIGNS. Special to the Astorlan. Washington, August 22. It Is under stood that Hoke Smith, secretary of the Interior, has resigned and that President Cleveland has accepted his resignation. FOUR KILLED. Minneapolis, August 22. A special from Missoula, Mont., says that by a freight wreck on the Northern Pacific near Horse Plains, Mont., four men were killed, including the engineer. The best chemical compound for wash ing powder is "Soap Foam," as It will not "yellow the clothes," nor burn the hands. It's the finest thing In the world tor the bath. One trial will eomrlnoe you.

At 19 o'clock this morning the first train on a full sized railroad track ever to leave Astoria for the outside world, wlllstart from a point near the Pa cific Sheet Metal Works. For throe days Superintendent Lester and his men have been working like nailer getting the rails out of the Chelmsford and laying them across Young's Bay and Into the city. At o'clock last evening the track layers passed El more's cannery. During the night work was continued and will be finished thia morning to the point from which IM train will start The athletic club, with Its usual promptness and energy In forwarding sport and entertainment, secured a con tract from the railroad company for running the first excursion train out of the city to celebrate Astoria's suc cess In securing a railroad. It has been arranged to run two trains, one at 10 In the morning nd the other In the afternoon. The second train will probably leave the city at 1 o'clock, , It has been decided by the Gearh&rt Hotel people to keep that popular re sort open another two or three weeks In honor of the opening of the ro4L and special rates have been made for the benefit of Aatorians. It cannot be lightly passed over that for the first time in Its history Astoria will have within Its limits a full fledged railroad train. For many years Its clt iiens have worked hard to secure the achievement today accomplished. This is but the beginning of the progress of events sure to take place at the mouth of the Columbia. Croakers can scout at the Idea that Astoria will ever be more than other ports on the North west coast. But if the Judgment of em inent engineers Is good for anything. In race of time, Astoria will distance them alt. It is for Astorians themselves to determine whether the race shall be a long or short one. OREGON BLIND INSTITUTE. Judge Gray received the following yesterday: To the Honorable County Courts and County School Superintendents of the State of Oregon: At the opening of the fall term of the Oregon institute for the blind. I de sire to secure, as far as possible, the at tendance of all blind persons In this state who are In good health and of the age described by the state heard of education for admission to said In stitution, viz., from 6 to 30 years old. The state, by legislative enactment, has provided for the education of this unfortunate class. Parents being re quired only to clothe and pay traveling expenses of pupils to and from the school. In case parents are unable to do this, the law provides that the com missioners of each county may pay said expenses from the funds of the county. The education of the blind will enable them to be much more useful and hap py. By the proper development of the Intellect, their lives. Instead of being dark and gloomy, may be filled with sunshine and pleasure. It will, further more, render them less dependent, thus preventing them. In a majority of cases, from becoming a public charge upon the county or state. I would request your co-operation In securing the attendance of the blind youth of the state In this school, espe cially of those who are Indigent and unable to provide clothing and travel ing expenses, as expressed in section i. I would be glad if either the court or court or the superintendent of schools would notify me of any blind who may be In their county. Yours very respectfully. J. L. CARTER, Supt. Oregon School for the Blind, Salem, Oregon, August 1, 189S. THE ECLIPSE.
