I TOLD HIM SO LONG AOft Tbla waa one of the Interesting tate nntt pado by Stat Chairman Jack Matthews at an Interview with Walter Lyou, pH ate eecretary to Governor Oeer, and to a representative of The Journal, In hit private office in the Republican heertquartere here yesterday. ' The occaaion wai a visit of proteet by Mr. Lyon to Inquire the reasons why the natce of Ooveraor Oeer does not ap pear In the printed list of Republican candidates as it appears in the numerous papers f the state. Governor. Oeer, Mr Lyon says, is on the official ballot -as a "Republican, and He.t. acting for the Governor, came to demand of Mr. Mat thews an explanation of the reason for Which the namp Is omitted. On being admttied to the office of the atate chairman, Mr. Lyon produced a copy cC a paper In' which the state Re publican .ticket appears, and asked Mr. Waurewf for what reason the name of Governor Geer had been left out; was It the intention to ignore Governor Geer's claims, or, notT . ' Mr. Matthews in reply; stated that he had not given the matter any considera tion, but that at a casual glance he did not." consider that Governor Geer's name was entitled to appear on the ticket, for the reason that he was not a nominee of the Republican state convention. In re ply, Mr. Lyon urged that under the Mays law a nomination by petition of the peo ple is fully as effective as a nomination by a state convention, and answers the same purpose. For that reason he thought the name should appear on the advertised lists the same as it does on the official ballot. Secretary of State Dunbar, ,he said, had recognized Mr. Geer's nomination by petition, and, al though after some delay, had consented to place his name on the official ballot as a Republican. This, Mr. Lyon claimed, furnished a sufficient reason why Gover nor Oeer should be recognized as a Re publican nominee. Mr. Matthews defiled that a nomination under the Mays law made any difference so far as he was concerned. He took no cognizance of anything that was done by anybody other than the state conven tion. ' "I DO NOT KNOW," he said, "WHAT INDUCED MR. DUNBAR TO . PUT GOVERNOR GEER'S NAME ON THE OFFICIAL BALLOT, EXCEPT IT WAS TO PROTECT HIS FRIEND FULTON. 1 will say to you frankly that I do not believe Governor Geer has any right to be represented in this list" (referring to the printed advertisement). "It is the opinion of a number of my friends thot HE HAS NO RIGHT , ON THE OFFI CIAL BALLOT AS A REPUBLICAN. Personally, I have nothing against Gov. rnor Geer, but he vetoed the Portland chatter when he h'ad no right to do so, and for that reason I have fought him." To this Mr. Jjyon responded that the Portland charter was vetoed at the so licitation of large number of the busi ness men ot the city, and halted that, although it bad probably damaged in a pecuniary way the people with whom Mr. Matthews Is associated, the Governor's action was Indorsed by a great many people interested in the matter. This statement appeared to arouse tho Ira of the chairman of the state commit tee, and he said in a heated way: "Why should ws accord Geer any rec ognition on our tlcketT He has not tumped the state for Furnish. He did not preside kt the Furnish meeting in Salem a few days ago, and I do not see that we ewa him anything." 'Why,!i said .Governor Geer's repre sentative, "should Mr. Geer have ap peared on the platform at Salem to in dorse the candidacy not only of Mr. Fur nish, but also of Mr. Fulton to the office to whloh he himself aspires T" y This apparently reached the crux of the matter, for Mr. Matthews became visibly excited and said: "MR. FULTON HAS NEVER BEEN FORMALLY AN NOUNCED AS THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR' SENATOR, THE PREMATURE ANNOUNCEMENT A? A PUBLIC MEETING IN PORTLAND BY CHAIRMAN LEWIS. WHO WAS; vNAUTUORIZED TQ DO BO, HAS COST US HUNDREDS OF VOTES JAf- - MLUTNOMAH COUNT1. MULTNO MAH WILL NEVER SUPPORT FUL TON. I TOLD HIM SO LONG AGO.'1 In a further discussion which ensued as to Governor Geer's candidacy. Mr. Matthews volunteered the statement that the candidates on his ticket had been as sessed for the expenses of the campaign, "and," he. afided. "we have never asked Geer for a cent." Mr. Lybn replied, without an Instant's hesitation and with fire In his eye: "What Is Mr. Geer's assessmentY" "We do not want any money from finer ' renlled Mr. MattneWlTtft '''8, tone which sltowed that his bluff was "called and for a moment a collision between the representatives of the two interests ap peared to too Imminent. Matters soon quieted down, however, and although the sparring was continued for some time, the only satisfaction Mr. Lyon could ob tain was he promise that Mr. Matthews would consult with some of his friends, and that If it could fee shown to him that It was his duty to accord Governor. Geer recognition, his name would appear In the printed list within two days. Durltn the course ef the Interview, re peated knocks on the locked door of the sanctum sanctorum naa aisiraciea mo attention of the parties to the above col loquy, and had, perhaps, on different oc casions prevented a heated argument from developing into an open rupture, and as the time of Mr. Matthews was evidently being taken without possibility of any satisfactory understanding being arrived at. Governor Geer's emissary de parted, convinced that his visit had ac comDlished nothing, and with him went The Journal man, happy to escape with out Injury from what had been so hot a corner.

Mar H-Wheat. 7447i, The mystery surrounding the disappear' ance of Mrs. ,Mumi Frances Qelger, on the 28th of last month, has been solved. From the first; The. Journal maintained that the only tenable solution of the oc currence waa suicide and that the, body would most likely be found floating in the river at the' expiration of two or three weeks. The body of the unfortunate woman came to the surface df the Willamette this morning and was found by two boys, Tod Smith ana PSWl Patterson, shortly af ter 8 o'clock. It was In an eddy near the old mill south of Iamani ft Poulson's. The Coroner was notified who caused the body to be moved to Cunning's East Side morgue. - - As Mrs". Geiger was the only woman known to be missing, the supposition was natural that' the body was that of her. Several circumstances pointed the other way bowover. One was that the discre tion of the woman's clothing' did not fit thoso of the missing woman, and then again It was not thought that she would leave the house wearing no stockings and walk away with? her shoes unbuttoned, as was the case. i Owing to the fct that the body was greatly swollen and the absence of all the hair, through the action of the water. It was almost impossible to make Identifi cation sure and it; was not until this af ternoon, that the fact was established that the remains' were those of Mrs. Gelgcr. Joseph Hall, who with his sister, Mrs. A. V. Mowrey, were the adopted brother and sister, of the deceased, made the Identification, i He called and was shown a wedding ring, which had been taken from, one. of the fingers Of the body. On the inside was the engraved Inscrip tion, "J. B. G. to 1M. F. B., i-i-'H." "Yes, that's poork Mln" Hall Immediate ly said. "Those letters and figures stand for Joseph B. Geiger to Minnie F. .Barry, April 4, 1893, the tune at which they were married. Besides those gold fillings and crown work correspond, as near as I can. remember, to the dental work .Minnie had done some time ago. "No, I can advance no cause for her suicide, as her Ufa Was happy as far as I know. Besides, my slater was in a po sition to help her as well as a brother.

Harriman Offers to Build Riparia-Lew-iston Road. It seems that "there are others." While every one Is tickled to death to learn of the great (?) things that Mr. Harriman and the Northern Pacific have promised the City of Portland, there are some who presume to think that the proposed Lew-iston-Rlparla line will not De all for the glory of Portland, and that she shall not greatly wax rich thereby, but that Puget Sound will be Just a much benefited possibly more. This morning another citizen made a statement as follows: 'Mr. Harriman has kindly offered to build a railroad for the benefit of ths Northern Pacific Railroad Company, by which it will be enabled to bring all the grain, stock and fruit produced in the great Clearwater, Potlach and Nes Percea territory on a down grade haul to Puget Sound yla Portland, thus avoid ing two of the worst mountain grades on the whole system. . The line the Northern Paciflo Is now using, between Kendrlck and Vollmer, Is so steep that It is almost impossible to haul empty freight oars up, and the track has been completely washed away on several occasions. "It will thus be seen that by avoiding this grade, and the haul over the main Cascade range that the object for which thev Northern Paciflo has. so long been striving will be accomplished without the expenditure of a single dollar,- and Jim Hill, with his control of the Northern Pacific, the Great Northern fines and the Immense steamships he la now construct ing to' run between Puget Sound and . all parts of the world, will make Portland look like W cents as It watches ths train loads of freight passing on their down ward bourse to ths sea, via, Ta " ' On the (Dum Dum Bul let Question in the , Philippines.

They were examined- by Chief, of Ord nance Crosier, who said they were the regulation Krag-Jorgensen bullets used by the army everywhere. During the examination of O'Brien, Senators Dietrich of Nebraska and Pat terson of Colorado almost came to blows. The trouble was precipitated by the for mer's action in shaking his finger In Pat terson's face and accusing him of doing everything to besmirch the American army. Patterson denied the accusation, advancing upon Dietrich, but when a per sonal encounter seemed Imminent the' chairman called for order and the ex citement died down.
