The Andrada Is not yet ready for .a, her captain having not yet come down from Portland. The cargo now In her hold, which wo brought down from Portland, Is 61,070 sacks or 133,1100 bush- ela of wheat, vnlued at IU3.6C0. A Inrga portion of the cargo was lightered, but lias imt yet been cleared. Her orders are for Queenatown or Falmouth.

She came here from I'uget Hound, but whether he will go to Mure Island or Houth America, remains to be seen.

The French warship Duguay Trouln will not remain in port after today. She uas to have gone to More Island for a thorough overhauling, but the Veneiue lun question seems to be no nearer a settlement then ever, and warships are In demand In South America. The ship was to have remained here a month. and after dixklng at the Mare Island yard a thorough overhauling was to have given her. Now, however, all this 1 tHen changed, and the vessel will sail for Guayaquil this afternoon. None of the men have been given shore Utter ly, and the sailors are angry In conse quence. Kvery man aboard Is on wait ing orders, and the chances are that the gunboat may trip her anchor and sail at a moment's notice. The Duguay Trouln made a very pretty picture as she entered port a few days ago. The engine were under a slow bell, and Captain Iluyle waa mak ing all the use possible of his sails.

On or about September 1R. ISM, a fog signal win established at this light station in the small Island at tho western ex tremity of Cope Arngo, Oregon. During thick or foggy weather a Pa- bnll trumpet will sound as follows: Hlnst of S seconds, silent Interval of 8 meomls, Must of 6 seconds,. silent Inter val of 42 siH'onds. The fog signal Is located In the build ing recently erected, which Is connected with, and Just In front of, the tower. The bull ling Is a one-story cemented brick structure, showing white with sandstone trimmings, and black roof. A one nml one-half story double build ing, painted white, lead colore,! trim mings and brown roof, has been erect ed on the site of the old dw elling, which had become dilapidated. The present building faces south. The tower, which originally was con structed of Iron and consisted of a skeleton frame supporting the lantern, the upper part of the frame Inclosed with Iron sheeting, has been Incased with brick Incased so that it now shows white, and connected with the rear of tho newly constructed fog-signal build ing. The charts have been corrected accordingly. Umpqua River Position of Buoy Changed. Plack spar buoy, No. 3, has been moved about 2l!0 feet In a north westerly direction and moored In 16 feet of water, on the bearings: Ork Reef, 8. by V. 4 W.; life-saving sta tion, N. by "W. V.

Mr. Klllln is an old-tlmu democrat, well known In As toria: Mr. Iionton Klllln said: "The flryan campaign Is not, as pretended, a cam paign against occupation.. The ranks of his supporters ara huneycomlwd with unsuccessful lawyers, bankers, polltl i.ians and manufacturers. It Is a cam paign against the Intelligent and sue ceasful memlier of occupations. 'When the Intelligence and character of the country are beaten and are In subjection, and Mr. Ilryan placed In power, he and his platform clearly say to his followers: You csn loot, you can burn, you can rape, you can mur der, and there will be no troops called out to Interfere.' With these facta and conditions undisputed and openly put forward for the purpose of securing th vote of the Idle, criminal and dl.loyal It Is plainly the duty of ev.ry well wisher of our country to stand actively and firmly together agalnat Ilryan and the forces behind him." TO Cl'HK A COI.II IM (1MB HAT Take laxative Ilromo Quinine Tablets. All druggists refund the money If It fulls to cure. 2rc. For sale by Chaa. Rogers, Druggist. It must be a great relief to Ilryan to go to church on Sunday, where he can hear another man talk. Any man who has delivered the same rpec-ch three hundred times needs diversion. He also needs religious consolation. I'.ultlmore American. Many political speakers, clergymen. singers, and others who use the voice excessively, rely upon upon One Minute Cough Cur to prevent husklnes and laryngitis. Its value as a preventive Is only equalled by Its power to afford In atantaneous relief. Charles Rogers. Ilryan cites the fact that nearly all the newspapers are against him. That Is a pregnant confession. The press Is an organ of public opinion, and public opinion Is what controls In a presides tlal election. New Tork Advertiser. Tetter, ecxetna, and all similar skin troubles are cured by the use of De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve. It soothes at once, and restores the tissues to their natural condition, and never falls to cure piles. Charles Rogers. The difficulty of winning a hat by a bet on the result of the national election Is probably due to the fact that those who can afford to pay far a hat will not bet on Bryan, and those who will bet on Ilryan cannot afford to pay for a hat. Boston Transcript. Many Uvea of usefulness have been cut short by neglect t.i break up an ordinary cold. Pneumonia, bronchitis. and even consumption can be averted by the prompt use of One Minute Cough Cure. Charles Rogers.

Declaration of Principles The Republicans of the United Bute, assembled by their representatives In National Convention, appealing for th popular and historical Justification of their claims to th matchless achieve ments of thirty years of Republican rule, earnestly and confidently 'address themselves to th awakened Intelli gence, experience and conscience of, their countrymen In the following dec laration of facts and principles: For ths first time since the Civil War the American people hava wit nessed the calamitous consequences of full and unrestrained Democratic con trol of the Government It haa been a record of unparalled Incapacity, dis honor and disaster. In administrative management It has ruthlessly sacrific ed Indlspenslble revenue, entailed an unceasing deficit eked out ordinary current expenses with borrowed money. piled up the public debt by 1262,000.000 In time of peace, forced an adverse bal ance of trade, to a perpetual menace hanging over the redemption fund, pawned American credit to alien syn dicates and reversed all the measures and results of successful Republican rule. In the broad effect of Its policy It has precipitated panic, blighted In dustry and trade with prolonged de pression, closed factories, reduced work and wages, halted enterprise and crip pled American production while stimu lating foreign production for the Amer ican market Every consideration of public safety and Individual Interest demands that the government shall be rescued from the hands of those who have shown themselves Incapable of conducting It without disaster at home snd dishonor abroad, and shall he re stored to the party which for thirty years administered It with unequaled success and prosperity. A Protect vc Tariff. We renew and emphasize our allegi ance to the policy of protection as the bulwark of American Industrial Inde pendence and the foundation of Amer ican development and prosperity. This true American policy taxes foreign pro ducts and encourages home Industry; It puts the burden of revenue on for eign goods, It secures the American market for the American producer; it upholds the American standard of wages for the American worklngman; It puts the factory by the side of the farm, and makes the American farmer less dependent on foreign demand and price; It diffuses general thrift and founds the strength of all on the strength of each. In Its reasonable ap plication It Is Just fair, and impartial, equally opposed to foreign control and domestic monopoly, to sectional dis crimination and Individual favoritism. We denounce the present Democratic tariff as sectional injurious to the pub lic credit and destructive to business enterprise. We demand such equitable tariff on foreign imports which come Into competition with American pro ducts as will not only furnish adequate revenue for the necessary expenses of the government but will protect Amer ican labor from depredation to the wage level of other lands. We are not pledged to any particular schedules. The question of rates Is a practical question, to be governed by the condi tions of the time and production; the ruling and uncompromising principle is the protection and development of American labor and Industry. The country demands a right settlement and then It wants rest Reciprocity With Other Nations. We believe the repeal of the reci procity arrangements negotiated by the last Republican administration was a national calamity, and we demand their renewal and extension on such terms as will equalise our trade with other nations, remove the restrictions which now obstruct the sale of Amer ican products In the ports of other countries and secure the enlarged mar kets of our farms, forests and factories. Protection and reciprocity are twin measures of Republican policy, and go hand in hand. Democratic rule has recklessly struck down both, and both must be re-established. Protection for what we produce, free admission for the necessaries of life which wadon't produce, reciprocal agTeementsAr mu tual Interest which gain open Sharkets for us In return for our open market to others. Protection builds up domestic Industry and trade and secures our own market for ourselves. Reciprocity builds up foreign trade and finds an outlet for our surplus. Protection to Sugar Producers. We condemn the present administra tion for not keeping faith with the sugar producers of this country. The Republican party favors such protec tion as will lead to the production on American soil of all the sugar the American people use, and for which they pay other countries more than 1100,000,000 annually. Wool and Woolens. To all our products to those of the mine and the field, as well as to those of the shop and the factory to hemp to wool, the product ot the great Indus try of sheep husbandry, as well as to the finished woolens of the mill we promise the most ample protection. Merchant Marine. We favor restoring the early Ameri OR- TUB REPUBLICAN PARTY. can policy of discriminating duties for the up-building of our merchant marine and tha protection of our shipping in ths foreign carrying trade, so that American ships the product of Amer ican labor, employed In American ship yards, sailing under the Stars and Stripes, and manned, officered and owned by Americans may regain the carrying of our foreign commerce. The Financial Issue. "The Republican party Is unreserv edly for sound money. It caused the enactment of the law providing for the resumption of specie payments In 1878; since then every dollar has been aa good as gold. We are unalterably op posed to every measure calculated to de base our currency or impair the credit of our country. We are, therefore, op posed to the free coinage of sliver, ex cept by International agreement with the leading commercial nations of the world, which we pledge ourselves to promote, and nntll such agreement can be obtained we believe the existing gold standard must be preserved. All our sliver and paper currency now In circulation must be maintained at a parity with gold, and we favor all measures designed to maintain Inviola ble the obligations of the United States, and all our money, whether coin or paper, at the present standard, the standard of the most enlightened na tions of the earth." Pensions for Veterans. The veterans of the Union armies de serve and should receive fair treatment and generous recognition. Whenever practicable they should be given the preference in the matter of employ ment and they are entitled to the en actment of such laws aa best calculat ed to secure the fulfillment of the pledges made to them in the dark days of the country's peril. We denounce the practice of the pension bureau so recklessly and unjustly carried on by the present administration, of reducing pensions and arbitrarily dropping names from the rolls, aa deserving the severest condemnation of the American people. Foreign Relations. Our foreign policy should be at all times firm, rigorous and dignified, and all our interests In the western hemis phere carefully watched and guarded. The Hawaiian Islands should be con trolled by the United States and no for eign power should be permitetd to in. terfere with them. The Nicaragua Canal should be built owned and op erated by the United States, and by the purchase of the Danish Islands we should secure a proper and much-needed naval station in the West Indies. Armenian Massacres. The massacres In Armenia have aroused the deep sympathy and Just Indignation of the American people. and we believe that the United States should exercise all the Influence it can properly exert to bring these atrocities to an end. In Turkey, American resi dents have been exposed to the gravest dangers and American property de stroyed. There and everywhere Amer ican cltliens and American property must be absolutely protected at all hazards and at any cost Monroe Doctrine. We reassert the Monroe doctrine In Its full extent and reaffirm the right of the Unulted States to give the doctrine effect by responding to the appeals of any American state for friendly inter vention In case of European encroach ment We have not Interfered, and shall not Interfere, with the existing possessions of any European power in this hemisphere, but those possessions must not, on any pretext, be extended. We hopefully look forward to the eventual withdrawal of the European powers from this hemisphere, and the ultimate union of all the English speaking part of the continent by the free consent of its Inhabitants. Independence of Cuba. From the hour of achieving their own Independence the people of the United States have regarded with sympathy the struggles of other American peoples to free themselves from European dom ination. We watch with deep and abid ing interest the heroic battle of the Cu ban patriots against cruelty and opp pression, and our best hopes go out for the full success of their determined con test for liberty. The government of Spain, having lost control of Cuba and being unable to protect the property or lives of resi dent American citizens or to comply with Its treaty obllgationes, we believe that the government of the United States should actively use its influence and good offices to restore peace and give Independence to the island. Enlargement of the Navy. The peace and security ot the repub lic and the maintenance of Its rightful Influence among the nations of the earth demand a naval power commen surate with its position and responsi bility. We therefore favor the contin ued enlargement ot the navy and complete system of harbor and Ma coast defenses. Immigration Laws. For the protection of the equality of our American citizenship and of the wages of our worklngmen against the fatal competition of low-priced labor, we demand that the Immigration laws be thoroughly enforced, and so extend ed ss to exclude from entrance to the United Bute those who can neither read nor write. Civil Service. The Civil Service law was placed m the statute book by the Republican party, which has always sustained it, and we renew our repeated declara tions that It shall be thoroughly and honestly enforced and extended wher ever practicable. Free Ballot. - We demand that every citizen of the United States shall be allowed to cast one free and unrestricted ballot, and that such ballot shall be counted and returned as cast Lynching Condemned. We proclaim our unqualified condem nation of the uncivilized and barbarous practices, well known as lynching or killing of human beings, suspected or charged with crime, without process ot law. National Arbitration. We favor the creation of a national board of arbitration to settle and ad- Just differences) which may arise) be tween employer and employed eoKc4 In interstate commerce. Free Homesteads. We believe In an immediate retura to the free homestead policy of, the Republican party and urge the passage by congress ot th satisfactory free homestead measure which has already passed the house and is now pending In the senate. Admission of Territories. We favor the admission of the re maining territories at the earliest prac ticable date, having due regard to tha interests of the people of the territo ries and of the United States. All the federal officers appointed for the terri tories shall be selected from bona fide residents thereof, and the right of self government shall be acorded as far aa practicable. Alaska Representation. We believe the citizens of Alaska should have representation In the con gress of the United States,to the end that needful legislation may be intelli gently enacted. Sumptuary Legislation. We sympathise with all wise and Ie- gltlrcate efforts to lessen and prevent the evils of Intemperance and promote morality. Rights of Women. The Republican party la mindful ot the rights and Interests of women. Pro tection of American industries include equal opportunities, equal pay for equal work and protection to the home. We favor the admission of women to wider spheres of usefulness, and welcome their co-operation In rescuing the coun try from Democratic and Populist mis management and misrule. Such are th principles and policies of the Republi can party. By these principles we will abide and these principles we will put Into execution. We ask for them the considerate Judgment of the American people. Confident alike in the history of our great party and In the Justice of our cause, we present our platform and our considerations. In the full assurance that the election will bring victory to the Republican party and prosperity to the people of the United States.
