THE DENVER SILVER CONVENTION

The resolutions adopted by the Colo
RADIO silver miners, who met in convention
last week, are printed in full IN the
Silver STATE. They demand the free
and unlimited coinage of the silver
dollar Of 4l2A grains. nine-tenths fine,
spon the same terms and conditions as
sold and equal with gold coin in legal
tender quality, and request the Senators
and Representative in Congress from
Colorado to use all legitimate means TO
attain that end. Until such time az the
free coinage of silver shall begin they
demand of the Administration . more
liberal exercise of it's discretion under
the Bland Act of 1873 to the end that
che purchase add coinage of $.OOO,o 600
be made monthly.
The convention appealed to the people
Of the country to join in enforcing these
inst demands in behalf of business and
industry, as silver and farm products
vent down together and by these meas
ures they will rise together, but it is
doubtful if the people wall comply with
the request. California. which has been

"At the fair grounds yesterday afternoon
there was Owe 1000 people to witness the

rider in the world would mot aatter her at
all. Her attendance was more than half

the applause that was bestowed upon her

DEATH WATCH APPOINTED.
Sheriff Lloyd Ignored in the Selection Of
tina Special Guard.

Sheriff Lloyd Ignored in the Selection Of
tina Special Guard.
Yesterday the county commissioners ap-
pointed 8. 8. Trice as special guard and
death watch over Harry Roberts, the con-
demned murderer, but specified no time
when appointee should enter upon the dis
charge Of his duties.
Sheriff Lloyd was asked about the mat
ter by q MINER reporter and seemed in any
thing but an amiable frame OF mind over
it as he felt that he should have had some
thing to say about it. He said that the
commissioners had no authority to place
any. body in jail either as iailer, guard or
in any other capacity without his permits
sion, as he alone was authorized to depu-
tise specials and hat unless he
gave his consent thereto neither
Trice nor any one else could
enter the jail as such special
guard. Mr.. Lloyd furthermore said that
in view OF The large number OF prisoners it
contained and the well known insecurity of
the jail, he had repeatedly asked the com.
missioners to authorize him to employ a
night iailer. to be paid by the county, and
that in that request he had been backed
by several grand iuries who had made
recommendations that such iailer be ap-
pointed, but that each time the commits
sioners had refused. Finally, seeing the
futility OF all attempts to impress upon
the minds Of the commissioners the neces-
sity OF such extra iailer he employed one,
and is now paying him out Of his own
salary. The least the commissioners could
have done in the premises, Mr.. Lloyd
said, would have been to have appointed
al guard the extra iailer whom he is now
employing, and paid him out OF the
county's funds SO long as he remained on
duty as death watch. When asked what
he intended to about admitting Trice into
the jail as guard, Mr.. Lloyd said he had
not made up his mind.

Damage and Many Lives Lost
SAN FRANcIsco, July 1.-Advices By
steamer from Hong Kong and Yokohama,
are that the most destructive rain storing
in the history Of Hong Kong occurred on
May 29th and Both. The total rainfall fol
thirty-three hours was t~wenty-nine and 9
half inches. At One time the fall measured
nearly three inches per hour.
The Hong Kong papers don't venture to
estimate the loss Of private property, such
as residences, stores, ETC., but at places the
estimated loss to public property Is $780,
900. There is scarcely q house within an
area OF thirty-two square miles which has
not suffered. All roads and streets in the
colony were turned into mud heaps, and
innumerable shops and dwellings were
flooded. Water pipes burst at every cor
ner. Eight men were killed by lightning in
Matshed. Fifteen lives in all are known tc
have been lost.
When the steamer sailed the storm cut
on q large system OF the water supply, and
the lower portion of the town 10 still sui
fering from serious dearth OF drinking
water.
A week alter the storm the city presented
the appearance OF having suffered q subter.
ranean upheaval and subsistence.
During the first of the week little progress
was made with the work of removing the
debris, and the government was forced to
call for the aid Of the military.

Belle, trembling from head to foot, began

caught her eye." Try as she woodland
horror stricken as she was she tried hard
she could not withdraw her eyes from the

CAPErowN, July 1.-The British gunboats
have been ordered to proceed to Delaaoa

LONDON, July LIN the house OF com.
mons this evening, Sir James Ferguson,
parliamentary secretary to the foreign
office, stated that Portugal had cancelled
the Delagoa bay railway concession, not
w~ithstanding the representations of Eng

been informed by England that Portugal
would be held responsible for any loss
which the British investors might suffer by
her action. The legal question involved is
being considered by the government, and
proper steps will be taken to protect Brit.
ish residents at Delagoa bay.
In the house of lords to-day Lord Sails.

Great Minds Running i'm the same Channels

An eminent publisher tells q very curious
literary incident. One of his authors
lady novelist who has won at least two
brilliant successes-had in manuscript at
the time "she" was published work based
on the very same idea. It had been the
work of years. but she destroyed it rather
than appear to have pla giarized. M. Bour.
get has just related q similar experience.
He had four chapters written of a novel
for the "Reuve des Lettres ct des Arts
when Maupassaat's "Strong as Death
appeared with exactly the same plot. As
the two writer's had no communication the
incident illustrates how ~intangibly ideas
float in the intellectual air, the same
thoughts being suggested in different minds
by reading or conversation or discovery.
