THE DEMOCRATS
WERE MAD.
INTENSE EXCITEMENT CAUSED
By the Nomina Who Undertook to
"Boss" the Convention Davis
is a Rich Man.
St. Louis, July 11 Early Sun
day morning the democratic na
tional convention finally adjourned
after the most stormy and unsatis
factory gathering in the history of
the party and ot the country.
If the scenes of the convention,
during the speeches nominating
candidates for president were urjus
ual, and the demonstrations were
unequaled 'n history, the closing
sessions were marked with far
greater interest, due to the receipt
of a telegram from Judge Alton B.
Parker, the presidential nominee of
the party, which was sent to Will
iam F. Sheehan, of the New York
delegation. The telegram shows
that the candidate for president is
not in sympathy with the platform
which is silent on the money ques
tion, and says:
"I recard the eold standard as
firmly and irrevocably established
and shall act accordingly if the ac
tion of the convention today shall
lie ratified hv the moDle. As the
platform is silent on the subject,
my views should be made known to
the convention. and if it should prove
unsatisfactory to the majority, I re
quest you to decline the nomina
tion for me at once, so that anotner
may be nominated before adjourn
ment."
The teleeram caused intense ex
citement when it was read to the
convention. William J. Bryan, al
though ill, rose from his bed to ad
dress the convention. The dele
gates were excited, angry, aston
ished and bitter words were spoken
shouted bv manv asrainst the
J -
nominee who dared defy the con
vention. Many spoke, and it was
with reluctance that the delegates,
after two hours' discussion sent the
following telegram to the nominee:
"The platform adopted by the
convention is si'.ent on the nuestion
of the monetary issue in this cam
paign, and only campaign issues
were mentioned in tne piauorm.
Therefore, there is nothing in the
views as expressed by you in the
telegram just received which would
preclude a man entertaining them
from accepting a nomination on
said platform."
This was regarded as settline the
question, although it left numerous
sore spots, and alter recess ot one
hour the convention proceeded to
nomination of a candidate for vice-
president.
Mr. Davis. Parkers running
mate, is 81 years old, and a man of
great wealth. He is interested in
many extensive industries and com
binations of industries, and is re
garded as the best man available to
furnish a good campaign fund and
to secure the aid of Wall street and
the trust magnates. '
DeBois and Son go to Trial.
Mr. DeBois and son, who are ac
cused of burglarizing seaside cot
tages and who were brought to Cor-
vallis because the Lincoln county
jail was deemed unsafe, were taken
to Toledo, Saturday, to appear
there in the July term of the Cir
cuit Court, on the above named
charge.
Mr. DeBois especially has been
erv inpatient durine coufinment.
owing probably to the fact that he
has a wife and several small child
ren who are deprived of their main
support by his connnment. 1 nere
is stroiiiT evidence airainst him. but
he seems to have been driven to his
ileed bv dire necessity. The artic
les stolen consist of sheets, pillow
cases and blankets, and a suit of
clothes. These things he put into
a lox and buried in his front yard.
When the authorities came to
search the premises they found a
garden growing over the spot where
he had planted the box.
It seems a very unfortunate case
indeed as the previous record has
been an exemplary one. It is said
that he was at one time a minister,
which would make the case all the
more sad. There seems to be no
doubt ol the father's guilt. The
mercy of the court, which under
the circumstances would seem well
lestowed may probably be the only
thing that will save him from serv
ing a sentence. Corvallis Gazette.
Warehouse Notice.

Court Rules For Burton.
Abilene, Kan.. July 11. United
States Senator S. R. Burton receiv
ed a telegram from his attorneys at
Washington, saying that Justice
David Brewer had allowed the ap
peal of Mr. Burton's case tolbe
United States Supreme Court.
The full court will consider the re
cords of the case, when there may
be a dismissal of the appeal or a re
gular hearing of the case, according
as whether the court finds it in jur
isdiction of the Supreme Court or
not. In case of a dismissal of the
appeal, the case will go to the
Court ot appeals as betore.
Son of Dayis Expresses Surprise.
New York. July 11. John T.
Davis, the only son of ex-senator
Henry G. Davis, Democratic nomi
nee for the vice presidency, is visit
ing this city. His father's nomi
nation at St. Louis came, he says,
as a great surprise.
"At the same time, I rather re
gret it ersonally," he added, "We
thought when we dissuaded father
from accepting the nomination for
the Governorship of West Virginia
that he would remain out of politics
altogether. He is an active man
and looks much younger than his
81 years might indicate.
Late War News.
St. Petersburg, July 13 An
oTicial communication from the
R issian general staff says:
"According to information de
rived from Japanese sources and re
ceived by Admiral Alexieff's mili
tary staff, the Japanese attacked
the Rufsian position at Port Arthur
during the night of July 10. They
were repulsed with enormous losses.
It is difficult to calculate even ap
proximately the number of Japan
ese casualties, which amounted, it
is said, to the immense figure ot
30,000."
Chefoo, July 14, 8 A. M. -Pri
vate advices just received from Niu
Cliwang indicated that the long-
expected battle between Kaichou
and Ta Tche Kiao is now in prog
ress. St. Petersburg.July 13 Steadily
and cautiously General Oku's array
from the south, nnd General Nodi
zu's army from the east, are closing
in on Ta Tche Kiao, where Gener
al Kuropatkin is reported to be en
trenched One hundred and thir
ty thousand men are involved in
the movement. The next few days
will determine to what extent Gen
eral Kuropatkin intends to make a
stand at Ta Tche Kiao, possession
of which by the Japanese would
compel the immediate evacuation of
Niu Cliwang.
The outposts of the armies are
scarcely 15 miles apart. The slow
ness of the advance is apparently
due to the natural difficulties in the
way of a rapid movement of the
Japanese eastern flanking columns.
Lientenant-General Sakharoff re
ports that General Kuro is massing
his troops near the Pkhamlin pass
and moving out by both roads up
on Haicheng. Heavy pressure
from this quarter would render Ta
Tche Kiao untenable.
All the Japanese energies now
seem to be concentrated on Ta Tche
Kiao and Haicheng.
No Sign of Weakening
Chicago, July 13 With no sign
of weakening on either side, the
only ray of hope in the butcher's
strike situation today was the pos
sibility that arbitration might
intervene to- prevent a labor
war fraught with suffering to the
strikers and heavy loss to the pack
ers.
Nor is the effect of the strike
confined to the employes and pack
ers in the nine cities where the
fight will be centered. The con
suming public will bear a large
share ot the burden in higher prices
for meats. Reports already have
come from various cities that prices
of the product have been raisec
This advance, too, was said to be a
forerunner of others if the conflict
continued long.
In addition to all the slaughter
ing plants being tied up, the strike
effects branch industries where such
articles as butterine, soap, buttons
and combs are manufactured.
The canning departments, where
all kinds of soups and meats are
put up, are hit hard, the employes
having gone out in a txdy.
Forty thousand persons approxi
mately, find employment in the big
packing houses of Chicago, and
this number already has been re
duced one-half. The effect of the
strike upon the mechanical and
other departments, it is declared,
will increase the army of unem
ployed in Chicago before the end
of the week to nearly 35,000.
The strikers declare that they
will lie willing to consider any rea
sonable proposition submitted from
the other side.
HAIL STORMS AMD
FOREST FIRES.
HAIL AS LARGE AS HENS' EGGS
Cloudburat In Union County Loaaa
Runs Up Into tho Thousands
of Dollars.
A severe rain and hail storm
burst in all its fury in the vicinity
of Medford, Or., last Sunday. Hail
as large as hen's eggs fell in the
foothills near Phoenix, doing great
damage to young fruit. It is esti
mated that the damage to orchards
in Jackson county will reach fully
$12,000. Newtowu apples and
pears were badly damaged. Trees
were stripped of their leaves and
corn was flattened to the earth.
In Union County.
La Grange, Or., July 11. An
other cloudburst visited the upper
country again last night, just above
Meadow Creek, which comes into
the Grand Ronde river this side of
Starkey, covering the roads in that
section of the country with rocks
and brush to the depth of several
feet. In other places great holes
were cut in the mountain sides.
The water '-n the Grand Ronde
river is thick with mud. The
storm broke with a great noise.
People living in that section of the
country say they never saw the
water come down in such torrents.
The damage done to roads will
amount to a considerable sum.
Timber Burning In King County.
Seattle, Wash., July 11. Forest
fires are raging in four parts of
King county and the extreme dry
weather of the last month makes
conditions favorable for their
spread. The biggest fire is at May
wood, near Green river, and Hot
Springs, on the Northern Pacific
road. The fire already covers about
900 acres of flue timber land and is
still spreading. Saturday night
the fire got into a Icgged-off dis
trict where the growths were dry
as tinder. Unless rain comes soon
there will be no checking the fire,
and the damage can hardly be es
timated. A fire is burning at Ravensnale,
but as most of the land is logged
off, the damage cannot be very
great Fire . broke out in Cherry
Valley this morning in the lands of
the Cherry Valley Lura1er Com
pany. A fierce fire is burning be
tween Green Lake and Bothell.
This fire broke out Saturday after
noon and a pall ot smoke has since
hung over the upper end of Lake
Washington. Damage to valuable
timber lands is light.
Loss by Flood Large.
Shaniko, Or., July 12 About 6
p. m. yesterday a cloudburst struck
the town of Mitchell, Or.,
about 60 miles south of this point,
doing immense damage to business
houses and residences. The entire
town is situated in a deep, narrow
canyon which drains considerable
territory, and a . volume of water
about 30 or more feet high, rushed
down through the business portion
of town carried away the Red
Front saloon, livery barn of W. L.
Campbell, and doing a great amount
of damage to the general Merchan
dise store of Waterman and Co.,
also damaging to quite an extent
the large store of Oakes Mercantile
Company and carrying away their
warehouse.
So far only two lives have been
reported as lost, those being Mr.
and Mrs. Smith, who were visiting
in town. Twenty-eight buildings
have been reported destroyed, but
definite information cannot be ob
tained, owing to telephone wires
being down.
Houses Carried Away and Roads
Washed Out by Floods.
La Grande, Or., July 12 Among
the many minor cloudbursts which
have taken place in Eastern Ore
gon one of the greatest for loss of
property is the one reported in
Wallowa county a few days ago,
especially in the Imnaha district.
One cloudburst occurred on the di
vide of Prairie Creek and Wallowa
Lake. Part of the water came into
the lake and part flowed down into
Prairie Creek country. Cord wood,
fences, etc., were carried with the
flood and the engine-room of M. C.
Davis' sawmill was filled a foot or
two deep with mud.
On Crow Creek the water reached
an alarming height, but no damage
has lieen reported. However, it is
said that Charles Holmes was
forced to climb into the hay loft to
keep from being washed away.
The Imnaha district fared very
badly. The water washed down
the Trail Creek canyon, which is
the roadled to the Imnaha country,
in such quantities as to carry away
houses with it. John Hambleton's
house and several others below, are
reported as being carried away
The wagon road was almost com
pletely washed out and the mail to
that section is being carried on a
packhorse.
The Road Sujiervisor of Imnaha
had, after a careiul inspection of the
road, said it would take 3000 to
replace the roadbed.
The weather has turned cooler
in this section of Fastem Oregon,
and 110 more trouble is now feared.
For ten days in some places and in
La Grande for several days it was
intensely warm, and great clouds
would come up, but no severer dam
age than the alove resulted.

MEAT PACKERS
OUT ON STRIKE
THOUSANDS OF MEN ARE IDLE
Everything Conducted Orderly, but
Both Sides Firm. -Meat Will
bo Scarce. '
Chicago, July 12. As the result
of a stubborn disagreement, chief
ly oyer wages for unskilled labor,
one of the most extensive strikes in
the Imtory of the meatpacking in
dustry of the United States began
today in Chicago, Kansas City,
Omaha, St, Joseph and other cities
where large packing plants are lo
cated. If prolonged, the strike is
expected to cause widespread in
convenience, possibly equaling the
anthracite coal famine of two years
ago.
The unanimity of the strike was
complete. More than 45,000 em
ployes are directly . involved. In
Chicago alone 18,000 men are on
the strike. ,
The eitect of the strike on the
food supply of the country and the '
price of meats is being earnestly
discussed, notwithstanding the an
nouncement tonight that the packing-houses,
contrary to the expect
tations, will continue operations
without any close-down, employing
whatever help may be available
How much alleviation in the fur
nishing of supplies to the public1
tins course may anoru is a matter
tf wide variation of opinion. The
packers declare that hundreds of
men have applied for work, but
could not be provided with places.
Kansas City, July 13. "All of
our men are out, said Louis Rem-
hardt, who has charge of the strike
in Kansas City. "All the men of
our unions who were at work came
out, and there are as many again
who were not at the plants today
that will not go to work until the
strike is settled. The men have
been instructed to stay away from
the plants and avoid any violence.
We do not expect the strike to last
long; but we can stand it all sum
mer if necessary."
Eight thousand meatcutters,
butchers, and others affiliated with
their union constitute the strikers
hete. As a result all the plants are
shut down and 13.700 employes in
the various departments are affect
ed. Those out or affected by the
strike of the ' meatcutters are dis
turbed as follows: Armour, 3500;

Swift, 2S00; Cudahy 2500; Schwar
tzschild S: Sulzberger, 2000; Fowl

The packers in this city were in
unusually good condition, having
but a srnill quantity of stock on
hand to work up, and all this was
cleaned up by noon, the men work
ing until this work had been accom
plished. It is believed the plants
will remain practically idle for a
few days, the managers making no
especial effort to fill the places of
the strikers.
Many of the men here were op
posed to going out. Some lived
in the d strict affected by the recent
floods and did not feel much like
losing time and wages. It is part
ly on this account that the packers
feel reasonably sure that the strikers
in Kansas City will not continue
the fight long.
Omaha, Neb , July 12. At noon
today 4000 employes of the four
packing houses at South Omaha
laid down their tools and went out
on a strike. The packing plants
affected are those of Armour, Switt
Cudahy and the Omaha Packing
Company. The strike is the re
sult of an order received from S-c-ond
Vice President Vail, of the
Amalgamated Meatcutters' &
Butchers' Union, and affects practi
cally every mau employed in the
packing houses, skilled and un
skilled. The packers say they will mae
no effort to operate lheir plants fr
the present. To this end they gav e
notice to the commission men that
there would be no market for the
livestock today, and that they
would not purchase until further
notice. The notice was given to
day, and as a consequence few cars
of stock came in today.
Sioux City, la., July 12. Alout
1000 men in the Cudahy packing
plant here obeyed the order to
strike. The plant was forced to
shut down. Business at the slock
yards is at a standstill as a result.
St. Louis, July 12. It is stated
tonight that in the neighborhood
of 4500 men employed in packing
houses iu St. Louis and East St.
Louis are out, as a result of the or
der received today from President
Donnelly, of the Amalgamated
Meatcutters and Butcher Work
men of America. Of this number,
only between 700 and 800 were em
ployed in St Louis, as most of the
great packing houses are in East
St Louis, in the vicinity of the Na
tional Stockyards there.
