MANY WORKERS ARRIVING.
This afternoon about 200 delegates
and workers arrived from up the river,
including not over a dozen Ohio county
men. An hour before they arrived
a train OF five cars, bearing about two
hundred delegates from interior coun-
ties came steaming 10. These gentle
men were largely made up Of Bennett
workers and adherentS from Lewis,
Randolph, Barbour, Harrison and Brax-
ton, and they at once plunged into the
thick of the fight. The crowds about
the hotels and the various headquarters
at on,e took on a decidedly Bennettish
air and maintained il until about five
O'Clock. when the McCorkle army re-
ceived large reinforcements by special
train from Charleston.
This train deposited at least 400 en-
thusiastic McCorkle,men from Kanawha,
Monroe, Cabell, Mason, Nicholas and
Webster, and they quickly balanced
things up as regards the Governorship.
Each OF these delegations marched up
town with a band. Where all these
newcomers found a resting place is a
mystery, for at noon, before any OF
them had arrived, the hotels were full
70 overlooking, and were turn
ing people away right and lett.
AT the Central at two o'clock
200 people with money in their hands
had been turned away, and at the Com
mercisl, the BlennerhaSsett, and the
DeGraf the same state Of affairs existed.
After that hour fully 500 additional
people arrived and others were due at
midnight and this morning. All after
noon men, their clothing wet with pers-
piration, dirty, tired, sleepy and hun
CRY, could be seen on the streets, having
made the grand tour OF the hotels beg
giug In vain for shelter and refreshment.
The Committee of Public Comfort has
done much good work, but the fact
stands out in bold relief that
IT Is TOO SMALL A TOWN
for such big body Of men. There is
plenty Of food and drink, but lament
able lack Of those creature comforts in
diSpensable to civilized man with the
mercury at 100 in the shade. The fear
ful heat has made even the greatest
stickler tor the conventiOnalties wilt
and men with reputation for dressi-
ness earned through great trouble and
expense at home, doffed both coat and
vest early In the fight, threw away their
collars and ties, opened up shirt fronts
and sailed in sans ceremOUte. They did
not look particularly well, but they
more comfortable and comfort is great
thing

er of these rivals, to look with some IA
vor upon Mr.. Eastman, who has from
she first maintained q conservative
course, and made as few enemies as pos
sibe. His compact body Of adherents
have been very diplomatic In
their campaigning so far, and there
may come a time when they will largely
profit by it. OF course the Bennett
and McCorkle men take no stock In
all this. Benefits managers claim TO
have made very substantial gains
during the day and evening, and say
$50 on the first first ballot is the small
est possible vote, while he may have a
majority over both his rivals. Mr.. Nc
Corkle's lieutenants are almost, but
not quite as sanguine.
THE AUTHORSHIP FIGHT.
There seems 10 be nothing but guesscs
as to auditor, for much depends upon
the selection Of the governor. There
are so many eXtravagAnt claims, Wild
rumOrs, unfounded assertions and gen
eral confusion among the multitude OF
delegates and outside politicians, that
no man not we'll endowed with the gift
Of prophecy can do more than make a
blind stagger at the probablli-
ties and possibilities with the as
surance Starring him all the time
in the face that he really knows no more
about the situation than any one else
aud that the whole matter is in the
hands Of that capricious and uncertain
something which presides over petit
juries, the female mind and political
conventions.
Every man Of the thirteen aspirants
for the place seems to be cock
sure Of getting it ana each
aud every one has a most
unsatisfactory list OF delegates figured

Treatment.

h HaEsin Says About the Electrolytic
Treatment.
The great Anaconda mine has long been
a distributing factor in the European
markets for copper furnace material, saws
the Engineering and Mining News, of New
York. 1t will bs so no longer, for we are
able to announce authoritatively that it
has been decided by Mr.. Haggin to refine
the entire output of the mine in this eouu-
try. This admirable decision will snable
us to export line copper or manufactures of
coppe instead OF matte, and will be- an
other and important step i'll the path of
progress that 10 leading to the metaIlurpi-
cal supremacy of this country. The Ana
conda mpan will not hereafter shin con
per matte abroad, but has arranged for the
electrolytlc treatment Of its product at
baltimore. The Baltimore Electric Re-
filming company has decided to largely
increase its works and has ALREADY
contracted to double its ,ankara'
which, when completed in the early fall.
will enable it to treat 1000, 900 pounds
monthly. The silver aud gold obtained
from all the Anaconda staff constitutes an
important element in the value of its out
put, n hereafter it is proposed to extract
the precious metals before marketing the
copper. While the output of the Anaconda
mines will for the prsasnt be reduced, the
treatment of all tho material in America.
instead Of, "a heretofore. sending a large
part Of it abroad in the form OF argentiter-
ous matte, will add largely to the employ
msnt of labor At the smelling and refnino
works, and thus compensate for the re,
duoed force in the mines.
