PARTY LOYALTY MANIFEST By Appropriately Honoring His An niversary in Virginia. Ohaklottsvjlle, Vu., April 13. Preparations have been completed for u celebration today of the- birthday of Thomas Jefferson, more elaborate than has been accorded the memory of the founder of the Democratic party for years. A pilgrimage of distin guished Democrats to his homo In Montlcello, near this place, nnd sev eral speeches by statesmen of national reputation will dignify the natal day or tho author of the declaration of Jndcpcndcnco. The Journey thither of theso broadcloth successors of the homespun Jefferson Is duo to tho enthusiasm of Chauncey F. Black, president of the National Association of Democratic clubs. Mr. "Black Is a son of that sterling patriot, tho late Judgo Jero Black, of Pennsylvania. For years tho son has worshipped at the shrine of the Sago of Montlcello. Tho Democratic party has had but two sages. Tho other was the Sage of Gramercy Park. Tho latter Is too recently dead to bo a fount of inspir ation, nnd so Mr. Black has drawn great draughts of pure Democracy from tho Motloello fount, Just as tho rivers near It, rising In tho Blue Rldtre. "draw tho watorB from tho purplo hills This year tho president of tho Democratic ciuos uunna uu psiw!inllv flttlnu time to wnken a wider Interest in Jeffersonlan princi ples. So ho issued a notice the other day to all tho clubs, in which he said this respecting tho recurrence of tho birthday: "Inasmnch as the Democratic party when all its members are In harmony, supporting tho principles upon which it was founded strict construction, equal taxes, with economy and sim plicity of administration undoubt edly command tho confidence of a great majority of the American peo ple, wo especially urge upon the Dem ocratic organization affiliated with tho national association to improve the opportunity of geueral recurrence to those sacred doctrines as taught by tho founder, in somo common and solemn celebratiou of the birthday of Thomas Jefferson, and thus renewing our faith, demonstrate that upon all essentials organized Democrats throughout the union are. inj 60und accord. "The president of tho United States, the cabinet, Democratic senators and members and many distinguished Democratic leaders nave been Invited to accompany the officers and execu tive committee of the national association. l 3 i i i S3 t--j A Hats .' The Hpecchmaklng will bo done by ex-Governor William F. Russell, of Massachusetts, who will deliver the chief address, to which Senator John W. Daniel will reply In behalf of AMr glnla. The ex-governor of Massachu setts Is nbout the only statesman of national reputation who has not been slaughtered at the polls, and his friends say ho has, therefore, a pecu liar fitness for the place he will oc cupy today. Montlcello consists of tho mansion and estate of Jefferson. It was there ho passed his declining years, and It was there he died. Its situation is one of entrancing beauty. Situated on n slope that overlooks miles of smiling valley, with the shadowy giants of tho Blue Ridge In tho distance, the spot Is one that could not fall to charm tho eye and soul of so lofty-minded a man as Jefferson, to whom thrones wero as paper and empires wero as gauze. Standing one afternoon near his man sion, he became lost in contemplation for some minutes; then, turning to n friend, he said: "Tills scene Is a clear typo of what tho world should be a smiling brotherhood of men,shadowcd by the great principles of truth nnd Justice," nnd ho looked off toward tho mountains, which wero throwing long shadows from the declining sun. Though tills will bo tho principlo celebration, there will bo many ob servances of tho day In nil parts of tho eountry. Tho anniversary suffers as to celebration from a division of ob servance consequent upon their being two dates of his birth. According to tho old stylo of reckoning, ho was born April 2, 1743; by n change in tho calendar this becamo April 13. So in 6omo places tho 2d is observed, In others the 13th. It Is one of tho ef forts of Mr. Black to mako tho 13th tho only day of celebration. It has not been given to all restless Ameri cans of prominence to bo born and to dlelnthoBame country. It was Jef ferson's happy fate. Ills dying eyes looked upon the same landscapes that his baby vision had first Inclosed. Albemarle county was his cradle ana his tomb. Jefferson, In 1700-75 nnd in 1770-78. was a member of tho Vlr- glula house of burgesses, and of tho continental congress In 1775-70. Dur ing 1778-81 ho was governor of Vir ginia, and a member of congress in 1783-84. For four years from 1785 ho was minister to France, and was sec retary of state from 1700 to 1703. From 1707 to 1801 he was vice-president, John Adams bolng president. TT was nrcsldent from 1801 to 1809. The principle events of his adminis tration were tho war with Tripoli, tho Louisiana purchase, the reduc tion of the national debt, tho explora tion of the West and the embargo. He died In 1826, at Montlcello. A special interest will be given to this anniversary from the fact that a project is now well under way to erect a 875,000 statue to Jefferson In New York City. The committee having the matter in charge has ex-Judge Noah .DaviB for president. J. Scott TTnriAv thftMuilntor of tho Ericsson statue, has been chosen to executo the work. The structure will be crowned with a bronzed figure of the states man. There .will be other features omhiomAtift nf the life of the subject. Educators of prominence are inter ested in the statue project, as Jeffer son was the founder of tho University of Virginia, which la located in this ) mi i i fvmwAiw' t"1 rumi C- J 1 I city. FISHERMEN'S STRIKE, Portland Conference Governors. of DEMANDS PUNISHMENT. Governor Lord Assuros Speedy Ac tion in the Matter. Governor James II. McGraw, of Washington, arrived In Portland bot urday morning and went to the Port land hotel. Shortly prior Governor Lord, of Oregon, had come in on tho Salem train and gone to the same hotel. The meeting of the two gov ernors had been prearranged and the object a discussion of tho violent scones lately enacted at the mouth or tho Columbia river, In which glll-nnt fishermen from Astoria on the Oregon side had crossed in their boats to a point off llwaco, Wash., nnd through force of numbers compelled the de stroying of ccrtnln llshtrnps owned by citizens of tho lnttcr state. Governor McGmw when seen by a reporter replied by saying: "I havo como to consult with Governor Lord as to the beat means of proceeding in bringing to Justice tho perpetrators of the high-handed outrage at the mouth of tho Columbia river, where the prop erty of citizens or Washington, fully abiding within tho law of that state, was destroyed by men coming from the state of Oregon, simply because tho methods used In fishing on tho Washington side differed from those practiced by the Oregon men. "My talk with Governor Lord has heen eminently satisfactory, he being emphatic In his declaration that tho law will bo enforced, and that such persons who may havo participated In the destroying of llshtrnps at Ilwnco will bo promptly rendered on requisi tion and tho sheriff nnd prosecuting nttorney of Puclflc county nro prepared to Identify any of thoprlnelpals." "You havo placed members of tho Washington national guard at llwaco?" "Yes. From tho showing made by Sheriff Roney, I considered It my duty to send to the scene a sulllelcnt forco to administer the law and protect tho property of citizens. This is not a question of fishing or tho likes or dis likes of a certain set of fisherman. It resolves itself Into tho right or people to pursuro their lawful avocation. That tills might bo assured, I ordered 43 men, selected from threo companies of tho W. N. G., and sent to Ilwnco. Tho men wore dispatched by tho wny of South Bend, .and arrived at tho mouth of tho river Thursday night, slnco then there has been on- further trouble." "What traps wero destroyed and what damage resulted?" "At tho present speaking It Is hardly possible for mo to estlmnto tho damage through lucking oxact knowl edge of the cost of tho property In volved," replied Governor McGraw. "Three pilcdrivers wero set adrlft.ono of which proved a total loss, the other two being recovered In a damaged condition by tugs. A trap, which was lawfully operated In 1804, was demol ished and the piles of a now trap wero pulled and set adrift. "I will return to Seattle tonight with condfldencc that Governor Lord will net promptly nnd decisively in tho matter." Inquiry at Governor Lord's office reveals no new developments In the fishermen's strike at Astoria. TUB FISHERMAN'S SIDE. Ed. Lund of Astoria writes: I note in the Astorian of tills morning that a detachment of troops are ordered to llwaco to protect the property of trap pers against the possible aggression of striking fishermen. No doubt this has reference to tho recent notion of a number of Astoria fisherman In pull ing or compelling the owners to pull out a number of trap piles Just driven near the entrance to llwaco in tho so- called cut-off channel. To outsiders and those not acquainted with the circumstances In tho case, this must seem to be a very high-handed and riotous proceeding, which in ono sense It probably was. But, as with every thing else, there are two sides also to this question. Thegrouid on which these piles wero driven Jthere are somo left yet) is located at the lower end of what is known as Sand island, between there and Fort Canby, Just at tho entrance to Ulwaco. This ground has for a number of ycjrs been the favor ite fishing grounder tho fishermen on lower river. Hundreds of nots pass over there dally, nnd It Is snfo to say that more fish nro; taken out In this drift tlinn any other llvo drifts on tho rlyer. Tills ground Is exceedingly dangerous to fishermen under any cir cumstances, but Tvith n number of trap piles right In the cut oT channel, where all nets passing down, toward the capo swing In oh first or tho Hood, this drift is utterly ruined. A trap nt such a place Is ntjtfonly a fish trap, but also a muntmpj nnd a nct-lrup ot the most dangerous character. It will probably bo argued by tho trapowners that n man can ptck his net up before the flood sets in, and thus save It from drifting on the trap. Those who are fishing down there know that such a thing Is often Impossible, as a man lias to leave his net on nccount of tho breakers nnd wntch his chance to got It back on the fiood. I nsk every fair minded person, any ono with a spark of justice In him, Is It right that two or three Individuals, for tho sako of gratifying their ubnormal greed for money, should be permitted todeprlvo huudredsof their fellow-bolngsof their sole means of providing for them selves and families? Tho glllnettors havo for years patiently submitted to Doing crowded out of one after tho other of their best fishing grounds, until they now thought tho time hud como when patlcnco was no moro u virtue. What action thoy will tnko now, when troops havo received orders to help the trappers to mako n fortnnc, by robbing them out of their living, is hard to tell, but ono thing le sure, nnd tiiut Is, If those traps aro built and permitted to stand, there will be moro lives lost and moro nets destroyed than havo ever been heard of during nny ono season. As batliSand Island and Fort Canby arc government resorvutlons,tho spaco between must be tho same, If 1 am not badly mistaken. As wo all know, If Undo Sam Is very part leulifr about any Intrusion on his property, I don't sco how any ono can bo sustained by him In driving piles utsuch a place, especially where It Is a dangerous ob struction, both to fishing and navi gation, i should be pleased to be in formed through your valuablo paper ns to whether or not said ground la u government reservation, and, In that case, If It Is legal to drive piles thero In conclusion, let mo stato that tho pulling of theso piles by tho llshorman had nothing whatever to do with tho present strlko, as botn trappers, Boincrs, nnd glllnettcrs nro solid for 5 cents a pound. This was done by tho glllnettcrs simply to protect their right to live, tho Justice of which every fnlr-mlndcd person must nccord them. Supreme Court.

Ever slnco It has been sat upon as dictator of tho Republican party In Multnomah county, and as a platform writer for tho Republicans of Oregon,' Harvey Scott has como out openly as a bolter and dlsruptlonlst, openly seeking to dofcat tho party In Oregon. And why? Ho says tho stato convention has adopted a silver platform, nnd that all sllvor men should bo Democrats or Populists. 18 this true? What aro tho facts? Tho Republican platform on tho money question In Oregon Is tho national Republican platform of 1802, and tho sumo plank which Harvey Scott ns chairman of tho plat form committee reported In tho stato Republican convention pr 189 i. Now ho bolts tho party because It has adopted his own platform of 1802 nnd 1801. Hnrvcy Scott's course shows him to bo Inconsistent and unreliable nsn Re publican, or ns a man InpubllcnlYnlrs.

Tho Mntubclus surrounded nnd at tacked Captain Brand's column con sisting of 130 men, which had been eotit to relievo Gwanba, 23 inllo$ttouth or here, on the Tull road. Captain Brand formed a laager for tho purnoso or offering u better dofcuso ngnlnst the attack. Some desperate lighting ensued. Tho enemy were found to bo well armed with Martin rlllcs nnd thoyreturncd a strong aud well-aimed tire ngalnst Captain Brand's Maxim gun, with such good effect that it was disabled.
