Neither does the vote disclose fully the strength of Messrs. Chamberlain and Byrd and others, as many who Intend to vote for them have not voted at all on nominees. THE MACABEES VOTE. The ladles of Queen Hive No, 5, L, O. T. M gave an afternoon tea and evening reception in their hall in the Turner block Friday to commemor ate the decision of the supreme court of Oregon granting the property-holding women of the stato the elective franchise, at school elections. About 250 invitations were issued and there is no question but every in vitation was used. An interesting feature of the afternoon was the bal loting for tMO candidates for school cdlretor. Each lady was presented with a ballot containing the names of Mrs. Amelia Scrlber Miller, M. L. Chamberlain, Dr. W. II. Byrd, Geo. W. Davis, and Geo. G. Bingham. The voters were given theprlvelege of ad ding other names as candidates should they so desire. Balloting had scarcely begun when it wasformally announced that Mrs, Miller would not under any consideration be a candidate. A to tal of 252 votes were cast with the following result; M. L. Chamberlain 85 Dr. W.TI. Byrd 50 Geo. V. Davis 34 Geo. G. Bingham t 2 C. Marsh 30 J. B. T, Tuthill 10 Mrs. Miller 3 Scott Bozortli 1 Mrs. O. S. England 1 Total 252 The pleasures incident to the even ing's program were enjoyed by a large number of auditors. Post Lady Com mander, Mrs. Florence Cartwrlght presided, and the following program was yery creditably rendered: Instrumental solo, Miss Bertha Junk Eecltation Man lu the Moon Jay Beeler Vocal solo Mrs. D. Junk Recltarlon Woman's Rights Miss Musa Gcer. Address Advancement of Woman lion. G, M. Irwin. HOW THE WOMEN VOTED. Mrs. B eler presided at the ballot in a dignified and impartial manner, men only being ruled out from the privilege of voting at the ladles' tea. Mr. Judah, the poetical reporter, got a ballot deposited inadvertently and so did John Carson, the lawyer. The report got out that men voters would be tolerated and a number went up but were sternly refused and the two cast were rejected. As fast as the ladies of the Macca bees, a strong and popular order for women only, were entertained they were asked to cast a ballot and all em braced the opportunity Messrs Marsh and Tuthill received a compli mentary vote from the ladies and it was entirely unsoliated. Had any effort been made for either one of them their vote would have stood much higher, as they possess Ideal qualities In the eyes 01 me aver age woman voter. SCUOOL MEETINGS.

Ritchie, Wrlghtman, Pound, Poorman and Ilouart, as such committee. Mr. Bingham stated that the state central committee had selected follow ing dates: March 21 Primaries. April 0 County convention. April 11 District county conven tion. April 14 State county conyention. Mr. Simmons, of Monitor, moved a committee on dates of primary and convention, Chair appointed Messrs. Simmons, Slmcral, Gabrlelson, Waters and Lembke. Earl Race moved that all entitled to vote at the Republican primaries should be persons only who voted the Republican ticket at the last Presi dential election. Wm. Clark ot Gervaissald they had lost 15 votes at the last election. No arbitrary rule should bo adopted but all sucli should show some proof of loyalty so they could be In lino two years hence. Mr. Blackerby was opposed to shut ting out those who had left the party. If the party was running down the way to build it up was to let all come in. Mr. Ramsby, of Mt. Angel, said quite a number in his precinct voted for Bryan who were now ashamed of it. He was In favor of their coming back, Coroner Clough favored letting vote all who would say they were sorry they had voted for Bryan. Earl Race said to ask a man If he was a Republican was not enough ask If' they would agree to vote the Re publican ticket at the next election. The qualification should be that they should support the ticket nomi nated at the succeeding election, Ed. Judd asked If each primary was not a law unto Itself. Mr. Bingham said the primary elec tion law applied only to cities. The Judges of each primary could deter mine who could vote. lie stated that lifelong Democrat, and people Irrespective of party had voted at the Republican primaries. No better test than the support of McKluley could be applied as a test. Men were ashamed of their not having voted the party principles. He had heard of Populists and Dem ocrats attending Republican primar ies and then not supporting the ticket. The chair stated the question, that asatest at the primaries the voter give a pledge or promise, to support the Republican nominees at the coming election. Mr. Blackberby objected to this test being applied to every voter. It was carried unanimously. The committee on apportionment reported as foilews: That the delegates bo apportioned on the basis of the vote for McKlnley one delegate for each 10 votes or ma jor fraction thereof. This makes a convention of 234 delegates. Mr. Riches stated that by change of boundary lines 34 votes out of East Halem had been taken Into Turner, lie asked that their representation be increased. There was also a kick from Engle wood, but on referenco to the com mittee on delegates they heard the arguments and refused to make any changes. .Committee on dates reported Thurs day, March 31 for primaries, and county convention on April 5. Adopted. County convention meets at 10 o'clock a. m. JohnRlchio moved that proxies be not glyen outside the precinct to bo represented. Carried. Mr. Poorman requested that incase of closed primaries an hour be Uxed for closing. Bingham suggested closed primaries. C. J. Hull, of Silver Falls, was chosen committteman. Alonzo Gesner was chosen for Salem No, 3. County Chairman Davis, was not able to be present, as he is away from home and reported sick. M, D. Ramsby was chosen for Mt. Angel as committee man. John Shaw was tnade committeeman for Horeb. Marion Eskew of Meha ma was also elected committee man. E. P. McCornack was asked by Mr. Bingham to address tho committee but declined. R, J. Hendricks was culled out and said some of the country members were more hopeful and were now not afraid of the com bined forces, Tnc district was in for a hard fight on congressman, as well as In Marion county. But by standing together and allow no fac tions the outlook was good. Messrs To"ze and Poorman "from the seat of war" both spoke. Poor man said the Republicans would re deem that precinct from constable to governor. Mr. Tooze said Clackamas would give tho Republicans 500 majority In June. They would also sweep this county, district uud state; all pledges had been fulfilled. We had a very prosperous season. All farm products were lilglier. Pros perity had started from the moment McKlnley was elected. They were united on tho gold standard. Populists were leaving that precinct and their vacant houses behind them. The three-legged party would be sick when tho campasn was out. Mr. Judd wad called for and also made nn encouraging speech, lie would not call the opposition three legged, but three-tailed. They had to get Republican votes to carry this county. General prosperity has come. There was oyer 8104,000,000 in tho treasury. That was worth something to us. We Iliad got $250,000,000 balance of trade ln'our fayor. Internal commerce the past year had been greater than ever before, ex cept the lastgyearof Harrison. The country was theirs and the people would not bo fooled again. N. II. Looney was called for, but was absent. Mr. Gcer was In the lobby but was not called out. Ad journed. School Meeting.

No News Developments General Lee's Noble Work In Havana. Bad Weather Interferes With the Divers Other Cuba News. Washington, March 5. Tho only word received at the state department from General Lee, during tho past twenty-four hours, came In a short cablegram received last evening f.d dressed to Assistant Secretary Day. The consul-general has formally noti fied the department that, he has se cured from tho Spanish authorities tho use of a large store, which he proposed to use as an orphan asylum to shelter many little children left parcntlcss by the war, regardless of nationality. Money sent by you will bo applied to the purchase of food for said orphans. Bad Weather. Havana, March 5. Warm, talny weather prevailed hero yestdrday, and everything has settled down into the regular Lenten quiet. Divers are slowly working during such hours as Is possible In the turbid water. The Spanish divers have been down but llttlt to tho. wreck, and any re ports sent as coining from them are likely to be Incorrect. Cable dispatches from Madrid pub lished here say the minister for tho colonies confirms the statement that the government never thought of dis missing the volunteers, Cablo dis patches also deny tho reports that a flotilla of Spanish torpedo-boats and torpedo-boat destroyers Is to come to Cuba. Senator Proctor and General Barker went to Artcmlsa yesterday morning. They returned about midnight. Leading Evidence all In. New York, March 5. A dispatch to the Tribune from Havana says: The leading facts ot the Maine dis aster are all now in the posesston of tho naval board. The divers have continued their work. during tho ab senco of the board at Key West. They havo discovered nothing to change the evidence gathered, which showed apparently that tho explosion was external. Their examination this week has extended alongside the plates, and they havo penetrated for ward well Into the bow. All they find Is merely confirmatory of what was previously discovered. aNotwlthstandtng the permission given by tho United States govern ment for Spanish divers to examine the wreck, the investigation by tho Spanish authorises of tho condition of the ship proceeds slowly.
