a Delegation Left san Francisco Last
Night for Washington.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 9.-The delegates
and alternates appointed by the Miners
Convention to visit Washington for the
purpose of obtaining Federal assistance
which will permit the resumption of hy-
draulic mining returned to this city last
night from Sacramento well pleased with
the interview they had with Governor
Markham.
The reports in the morning papers do
not, it is claimed by the committee, give
fair report of the remarks made by the
Governor, and wrong impression is
conveyed by the statement that a doubt
exists as to the future course Of the asso-
citation in regard to the necessary legisla-
tive assistance. All these points were de-
cided long ago by the convention as a
body assembled, and nothing further has
to be learned on the main question at
issue.
The Governor in the interview, which
lasted from before noon until nearly 2
O'Clock, showed the greatest interest in
the future of mining in California. He
called attention 10 the good work Of SEN
ator FELTON,, Congressman Mckenna and
the other members from California, as
suring the delegation that they could de-
pend on one and all of them for all the
aid which they could afford the cause.
Judge Niles Searls, j. B. Hobson and
j. X. Luttrell leave this evening for
Washington backed by the strongest kind
ofinfluence.
They also take with them copy of the
resolutions presented in the Board of
Supervisors last night by Supervisors
Burling, Jackson and Curtis, and which
were unanimously adopted, urging upon
Congress TO give immediate attention to
the request OF the delegates from the
Mining Association.
The resolutions also call attention to the
benefit which will result to this city, as
to the whole State of California, if the
hydraulic mines are worked without
detriment.
A committee from the association met
with the Directors of the San Francisco
Board of Trade to-day, to consult about
raising money to pay the expenses of
committee work in Washington. 4
committee was appointed from the Board
OF Trade to solicit subscriptions from
merchants of this city. About $1,000 will
be raised.
The Finance Committee are well pleased
with the reception they have met with in
every quarter, and claim that there will
be no difficulty in obtaining all the neces-
sary funds for every purpose connected
with the efforts of the association.
1t is probable that State Mineralopist

General Flagler Advocates Establish
ing One on the Pacific Coast.
WASHINGTON, Feb. General Flag
Ter, Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance, APP
peared before the Senate Committee on
Coast Defenses this morning and urged
the establishment of gun factory on the
Pacific Coast. Regarding the number OF
guns necessary for the protection Of the
principal points on the Pacific, namely,
San Diego, San Francisco and at the
mouth OF the Columbia River, General
Flagler said it would require l35 new
steel guns and 100 new steel mortars.
Relative to the defenses of San Francisco,
the General said it was the present plan
TO mount all eight and ten-inch guns on
disappearing carriages, the larger guns
TO be placed in barbette and metal turrets.
These disappearing carriages would cause
the gun TO disappear behind a parapet
which conceals and protects the gun and
its personnel while loading and firing.
In response TO question as to the car
rlages for the guns already completed,
General tlagler said none were now fin
lShed, but three weeks ago (evidentlv
having in mind the Chilean affair." he was
prepared to mount in haste guns on old
carriages now on the Pacific Coast.

! DENVER, Feb. 9.-Never in the history
OF Colorado was there a more brilliant
scene than was witnessed by the tre-
mendous crowd at the Broadway Theater
tonight, at the banquet of the Greystone
Club IN honor Of Samuel J. Tilden's birth
day. The interior of the theater was a
dazzling vista of electric lights and way
ing palm leaves. At the head of the ta-
ble sat President of the club Mckinley,
With Governor Boies and Ex-Governor
CrIttenden in the places of honor upon
either hand; then Ex-Governor Adams of
Colorado, Hon. j. d. O'Brien ofNew Mex
leo, Hon. G. A. Clark of Iowa, Hon.
Robert j. Smith of Chicago, Ex-Governor
Baker of Wyoming, Ex-Governor Grant
of Colorado, Hon. Caldwell Yeaman of
Colorado and many other distinguished
! gentlemen.
President Mckinley delivered the ad-
| dress of welcome for the GreystQne Club.
He said in part: ''The conception Of this
annual dinner upon the plan of tonight
| grew out of the belief that the interests of
the Democrats OF these Western States
were largely identical that the relation
of the citizens Of these States to the ma
| the prosperity, welfare and political in
! terests OF our citizens We're largely the
same; that the same political forces and
! ideas which so steadily and irresisti-
bly, cut down the tremendous Repub-
! lican majorities in Iowa and Nebraska,
are, and ought to be, at work ceaseIessly y
in all these Western States and Terri
tories"
Ex-Governor Adams of Colorado fol-
lowed with few remarks in answer to
the toast: THE West in Politics. and
Hon.-J. ID. O'Brien won the hearts of the
tair. sex by his reply to the toast: 1.-The
Ladies.''
The event of the evening was the reply
to The Democracy in 1892" by Gov
ernor Boies of Iowa. When the Gov
| ernor arose to speak he was greeted with
deatening cheers, and it was some time
before he could proceed. His speech was
frequently punctuated with tremendous
applause.
Governor Crittenden's reply to the
toast, Missouri, Ever Faithful created
an impression. He advised the abate-
ment of the zeal for silver during the
coming session of Congress, and urged
energy and attention in the direction of
| the tariff.
Many letters of regret were read.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The bill intro

Illinois. cutting off pensions to foreigners
and non-residents of the United States, is
becoming the subject of great interna-
tional interest. The dispatches state that
in one province of Canada alone over thir-
teen hundred people will be affected by
the proposed legislation, and General
Newberry himself estimates that the for
eign benehciaries of the pension laws ag-
oregate at least 1900. In an interview
General Newberry said: After the war,

of fortune took advantage of the liberal
pension laws and returned to their native

SECRETARY BLAINE.
He VIII Soon Retire to Private Life or
Account OF uI-Health.

Account OF IlI-Health.
CHICAGO, Feb. 9.-The Daily NeaOS will
| in the morning print Washington spe-
cial saying: "The announcement by Mr..
Blaine that he will not be a candidate for
the Presidency is about to be followed by
another announcement of even more i'm
portance. Mr.. Blaine will resign his
position in the Cabinet of President Har-
rison and retire from public life to the
quiet he so much desires, and which his
health imperatively demands"
For this statement the Daily NelcS cor
respondent asserts that he has authority
second only to that of Secretary Blaine
himself His determination to resign,
says the correspondent, is final and abso-
lutte, and it only remains TO be determined
at what date his retirement will take
place. The reason he will give the Pres
ident for retirement will be that of phys
ical inability to continue the laborious
and unyielding strain which the State
Department puts upon him. This is, in
fact, the true reason for Mr.. Blaine's de-
termination TO withdraw entirely from
official life. For months his family and
physicians have been trying TO persuade
him to get out of Washington through
the winter and spring months, and they
have at last prevailed upon him to see
the desirability Of this course.

1T Did Not Rust in the Potomac.

To the Editor of The Evetine Star:
While dredging the channel Of the Eastern
branch, opposite the navy yard, we dug up a
most interesting relic in the shape of an old
English gun. On the face of the gun is the
coat-of-arms Of Great Britain, Immediately
under this was r. G., 8, meaning George Ill,
king. The gun had attached to it an old
fashioned flint lock, which it was thought by
the executive officer Of the yard to have been
put on by our people after its capture. This
gun was no doubt prrt of the armament of
one of the vessels burned on the approach Of
the British in August, 1914. A most important
fact was also brought to light in the recovery
OF this gun, and that was the almost entire alb
sence OF rust. Although the gun was under
water seventy-eight years it was in perfectly
good and serviceable condition. This dem
onstrates fully the non-corrosive action of the
Potomac water, most important fact in view
OF the efforts being made by the government to
find a suitable station where the iron-clad feet
could be laid up without deterioration. Expert
ments have been made at all of our navy yards
with iron plates placed in the water for given
length Of time The Washington yard showed
the best results. The experience of the English
gun should settle the question.
