This was known last night, to far as the road bonds wero concern ed, when the first leport was flashed in from Victor Point, 122 against 2 for. From that time everything wns against bonds until returns from tlio north end of tho county began to coins in, which were goncrally strongly in their favor. i Tho count today with 59 ptocincts complete was for bonds 2,682, against 6,377, or a little more than 2 to 1. The surprise of the election was the Htrength developed by Withycombe for governor, he miming ahead of Craw-' ford in.thh county, and having a strong had throughout the state over all other candidates. He is the republican nom inee, nnd will probably face the demo crat, Judge Bennett, who was another surprise to many who had not kept in eloso touch with tho votors. Smith's weakness in Portland and in his home county was also a surprise. Tho indi cations are at present time that Ben nett has carried almost every county with tho possible exception of Mult nomah and Umatilla. The republican senatorial nominees nre Bishop nnd LaFollette, though there is a baro possibility of Heltzcl pulling through. The republican nominees for the legislature are Allen, S. Brown, Tho3. Brown, Weeks and Martin. The county commissioners are in doubt, with Goulet in tho load with 771 nnd Simmons a closo second, his vote bcinz It is impossible to give the names of the democratic possibilities for state senator and the legislature for the names are written and every voter wrote at ranJlom.

Wright today up held the legality of tho 75 cent gas rate fixed by the supervisors in an ordi nance parsed last July. , The Pacific Gas and Eloctric com pany's present rate was 85 cents and has been collecting at this rate Bince the ordinance pnBscd, under an injunc tion issued by Federal Judge Van Fleet preventing the enforcement of tlie now regulation. Judge Van Fleet turned tho matter over to the mastor in chancery to decide and the latter 's ruling will compel the company to refund about $300,000. Tho master reduced the company's valuation on its jilant ironi $19,937,267' to- $12,042,590 refused to include for rate-fixing purposes the valuo of the company's franchis which it had placed at $1,482,641 and albO struck out its $2 918,107 item for pood will. HAS BAD LANDING. San Francisco, May 16. The "Air maid" Silas Christofferson's aerial li241!San Francisco-Oakland ferry, encoun tered engine trouble over the bay 100 yards off the San Francisco side to day, made a band landing on tic sur face of tho water and had to be towed ashore. The "Airniaid" was carry ing a man and a woman p?s?nger at the timo. Stand on Tolls i r' , plank wa3 approved, Bryan and henator O 'Gorman wero asked to put the plat form in appropriate language and that they invited Senator Iibiuercne and him self to assist. - " Aj open repudiation of a solmn cov enant by a political party," said Walsh, "would cause all to recoil from it with ! horror, wore it proposed by any man other than the r resident of the United . States." . WITHYGOMBE GETS NOMIDATIQN for ration Republicans Give Hun a Plur ality Estimated at 5,000 Throughout the State GUS M0SER LEADS IN MULTNOMAH Hawley Leads 2 to 1; George M. Brown Nominated for Attorney General Portland, Or., May 16. Election re turns from abroad in the state indicate a neck and neck race lotwccn Dr. C. J. Smith of Portland and Judge A. 8. Bennett of The Dalles for the demo cratic nomination for governor with a margin in favor of Smith. For the republicans Dr. James Withy combe leads in the state by a comfort able plurality while tins C. Mosor of Portland carried Multnomah county. John Manning of Portland is a poor third in the democratic gubernatorial contest, while Colonel Kobort A. Miller and G. A. Cobb trail far iu the rear. Dr. Smithcarried Multnomah county by over 100votes, but with reports do layed from the state at large the ro sult apparently will be uncertain until the last county reports are in. The republican stato tickot exclus ive of governor will undoubtedly have George M, Brown of Roseburg as the nominee for aitorney goneral. Al though Brown was bested in Multno mah county by Frank S. Grant, former city attorney of Portland, by at least 2,000 votes, he is running 2 to 1 ahead of Grant in the rest of the state. Grant is about tied with William r. ijorrt as far as reports that have reached Port land thus far can indicate.,' Thore is keen competition for the four nominations for tho supreme bench with Chief Justice McBrido loading the fiold. He is nearly 800 ahead of his closest competitor in multnomah coun ty. Justices Bean ana McNary, who aro candidates for le-eloction, follow him in the state generally, although both, are topped by Circuit Judge T. J. Cleeton in Multnomah county. Judge Inwrence T. Harris apparently has the bcBt of Judge Cleeton in the state voting districts, but several hun dred bch'Mid him in Multnomah county. Samuel T. Richardson of Salem and P. H. D'Arcy are noi in tho running, while Judge Henry L. Benson is leader in Multnomah county but has not poll ed a large vote in the state. John H. Lewis, the present state en gineer, has defeated L. It. Stockman at letst four or five to one, while the vote on labor commissioner indicates the de nomination of Commissioner O. P. Hoff, with Fred S. Bynon running second in the state, and Andy Madsen, head of the longshoremen in Portland, second in tho county. Frank J. Millor is easily re-nominated as ra'lrond commissioner. Tom' B. Kay, state treasurer; J. A, Churchill, superintendent of public in struction, and James T. Chinnock, su- perintendent of water district number one, in winch Multnomah county is lo cated, were re-nominated witnout op position. All democratic candidates for Btate offices were nominated without op position with the exception of the gov ernorship. . Later State Kotunvs. Portland, Or., May 10. Although ro- turns were very incomplete, indica tions early today w.re that Dr. James Witiiycombe, of Corvallis, had received the republican gubernatorial nomina tion with a plurality roughly estimated at 5,000. Gus C. Moser, or Portland, has a substantial leading in Multno mab, a smail lead in Clatsop, Colum bia and Tillamook counties, but this was overcome in other parts of the state. Outside of Multnomah county A. M. Crawford had a slight lead over Moser. I he democratic returns were very meagre and left tho gubernatorial re sult in doubt. John Aianuing, of Port land, was funning ahead in Multnomah county, with Dr. C. J. Smith, of Port hind, and Judge Bennett, of The Dalles, rontcsting closely for second place. Scattering returns from 16 upstate counties give Smith a majority of 224 over Bennett with Manning a poor third. In the first congressional district, W. C. Haule.v, incumbent, wa nomi rated on the republican ticket by prob ably a 2 to 1 vote. A. W. Lafferty, incumbent, was leading C. N. McArthur by a small margin for the republican nomination for congress in the Third district. A. J. Sinnott, incumbent, was not epposed for the republican nomination for congress in the second district. Henry J. Bean, H. L. Benson, Law rence .T. Harris and Thomas A. Me- (Continued on page 7.)

Word has boen received by Sheriff Esch that imilur charge under the name or 1. Giiman is wanted in Portland on a similar charge under the name f i-l. Brown and after ho has satisited tho legal demands of the courts in this city he will answer the charge in Port land. Gilnian's wife, a bride of four weeks, has returned to the home of her parents near Gaston pending tho outcome ot tho charges against her nusoanci. un man admits that he is guilty or pass ing worthless paper but claims that it is the result of a family difficulty and that he should have had $600 to his credit in the Seattle National bank. The stubs of his check book however, show a model system of bookkeeping as he checked out over $100 in small amounts through the Willamette val lay and the last amount brought for ward wae $590. Papers which ho carried with him show him to bo a mechanic and he says that he has also been a deputy sheriff and deputy marshal in the city of Los Angeles.

Incomploto re turns from all but four countios indi cate that Dr. C. J. Smith is the demo cratic nominee and James Withycombe tho republican noniinco for govornor. The race for the democratic nomina tion iB exceedingly clowfl, however, but botween Smith and Judgo Bennett. Smith 's apparent lend is about 1000 and thore is a possibility that his may bo overcome by later returns from the Willamotto valley esKScially Marion and Lane counties, whoro Bonnett is strong. Dr. Smith carried Multnomah county by approximately 600 plurality over Bennett, John Manning being third. Umatilla, Smith's home county, gave him a big plurality and Jackson Coos, Union and Beveral other counties polled up a big vote for hini. Committeemen Chosen. Portland. Ore.. May lfi.H. M. Eas terly and Ralph E. Williams, both of Portland, will be the next national committeemen for Oregon Of the dem ocratic and republican parties respec tively. In Multnomah county Easterly ran ahead of his rival, W. II. Canon of Med ford, by a large majority. Ralph Williams, the present republican com mitoeman, ran some distance uheud of his opponent, Charles W. Ackorson. Dr. Henry Waldo Coe is retained as tho progressive national committeeman, having no opposition for the position. McArthur In Lead. PortlanJ, Or., May 16. Complete re ports from 235 of Multnomah counties 230 precincts clearly indicated that O. N.

Washington, May 16.' Evon if Pri vate Parks, the infantryman missing from the American garrison of Vera Cruz, was murdered by General Maas' Me'cans, there will be no reprisal at present, it was mode plain on high administration authority today. . . The war department, to bo sure, was furious and Secretary"! Garrison was privately doelaring the situation ex tremely grave. Seerotary of State Bryan, however, insisted that the-re ported outrage was simply another of the series to be charged up against President Iluerta for sottlomeut at the final accounting. Wilson Supports Bryan. President Wilson whs known to be supporting Bryan in the tatter's de termination that nothing bo pormitted to interfere with mediation of the American-Mexican difficulty. The Niagara Falls conforenco was expected to suggest a plan for Huorta's elimina tion .and the permanent re-nstablish-ment of peace In Mexico and the presi dent was said to consider that ouo more fatality suposedly past and therefore unpreventablo should not be permitted to force his administration'! baud. Mob Kule Threatened. . Pi spate km' from Mtrxic City - dwelt on tho critical nature, of tho situation there. Mob rule was said to bo threat ened. Unloss fuorta eliminated.'. him self it was declared the people would sneedilv eliminate him. . Tho dictator' was understood to be ignoring government - affairs. War Minister Blniiquet was reported the renl head of tho government and it was prodietod that as soon as tho opportuni ty offered the Jattor would seine Huor ta's post for himself. Tho Mexican envoys to the "A. B. ' " mediation conforenco wore due here this afternoon and had boon in vited to bo the Spanish ambassador's noHts over night. It wns said tho American envoys had boen instructed to insist on Huorta's elimination as tho first condition of a settlement. Orders Change In Ports. Officialdom wns not much perturbed by nows that Preaidont Huorta had ordered Mexican importors and ex porters to handle tho cast coast ship ments through Piiorta-Mexico. With Vera Cruz in tho Americans' and Tam pico in the rebels' hands and Tuxpnn likely to fall at any time, this was to have been expected, it was said. By prohibiting transactions through eithor of the captured ports it was thought he might add somewhat to Puerto-Mexico's customs receipts but It was doubted if tho increase would be material, witn tho country's commerce in its present stato. Confirmation woe rccoived of the arrival of A. J. Sutton, the Washing ton Post's photographor, at Vera Cruz, after a scries of alarming experiences, and according to his own account re- poatod threats or execution wnue unuor arrest in Mexico City and Cordova. Ho attributed his rolease at Mexico City to tho efforts of the English and Brazilian legations and at Cordova to that of the English consulate at Vera Cruz. Vera Cruz messages said it was the IHief there that tho federal gunboats Zaragoza and Bravo, which loft Tam pico when the rebels took tho city and passed ho re southbound, wore noaueu for Progrosso. They wore followed though not intorforod with by tho American cruiser Chester. SUliman Is Safe. Washington, May 16.

T'.i - minister expressed the opinion that Silliman's delay was due to destruction of the-railroad truck between Saltillo and Mexico City. llis messago, filed yesterday, said the minister, was informal that Silliman left Saltillo May 14, which would mean ' he would reach tho capital tho night of May 15 or the morning of May 16 un less there were unusual interruptions on the line. That there were such in terruptions, howevor, was thought tiore than likoly. 'I have not yet been able to locate Correspondent Poster", the miniBtor added, "but am still inquiring". Consul Canada cabled from Vera Cruz today that Spanish refugees from Mexico City assured him of tho capture of Tuxpan Thursday by rebels funder . Generals Aguila and Blanco. , A report from tho United Siatos con sul at Tnmplco said Gonornl Gonzales, tho robel commander thore, had given assurances that all consideration would be shown to Amrican and other foreign resides. .
