THE VIRGINIA CAMPAIGN.
Marshall Sees Bright
Democratic Prospects This Fall.

Representative Marshall Of Virginia has
returned to the city, after an absence Of
several days In the Virginia campaign. He
says that Mr.. OFerraii Is making a Wig
orous canvass of the state. and Mr.. Mar
shall thinks he will carry the state against
the populists. Mr.. Marshall thinks also
that the democratic legislative ticket will
be elected, as well as the gubernatorial,
Il do not think the popu.sts have in
creased their strength materially since the
last struggle which We had with them.
They had about 1900 then. and believe
their number at present will not exeeed
that. At any rate they are not recruiting
their forces from the democrats. A few re-
publicans will vote the populist ticket, but
they will not by any means get the solid
republican vote. l think the democrats will
carry the state by 1900 or over
Mr.. Marshall said he Is not at all worried
over the recent manifestation in Richmond
in favor of protective tariff. He represents
district which Is largely an industrial
one, and where the protective spirit, II
there Is any. might be expected to be found.
He has not noticed any increase in pro-
lection principles in his district. It is true
that his constituents will demand reforma-
ton Of the tariff upon rational lines, but
also in the line Of the general policy Of the
democratic party.

7 n e POP ULIST S.
They Will Fight the Proposed Oompro-
mise Bill.
So Will Senator Stewart-Allen Says
That With Seven Hour Spells He
Can Last a Long While.

This afternoon the democrats of the Sem
ate have been putting their signatures to
the agreement reached today on the silver
question. The expectation is. in fact. there
Is no doubt that silver democrats will sup
port the proposition, and 1t is believed that
there will be over fifty and possibly sixty
votes for 1t In the Senate. The republican
repealers will most of them vote against It,
probably, as will also the republican silver
men. but neither will join in filibuster to
delay action.
The POpuIists VIII Fight 1t.
The populists, however, threaten to do all
in their power to prevent the compromise
from going through.
Senator Allen, who made the fourteen
hour and three-quarter record in his speech,
authorized The Star reporter 20 state that
he would oppose the adoption Of the meas
ure in every way in his power, and that he
believed all the other populists would Just
how much they would accomplish ne could
not say, but they would stand by the popu-
list platform and fight against this meas
ure as long as they could. He said he did
not suppose that he could bring action all
alone Tor the full time, but if they would
give him spells of seven hours he could keep
up the fight for long while.
Mr.. Stewart said he was opposed to the
proposition and would fight it.
The opposition of the populists may be
embarrassing to some slight extent but 1t
Is not believed that there will be any fill
buster which can delay the vote a single
day.
Mr.. Peffer says the only compromise he
Will favor Is free coinage at 16 to /. There
was time. earlier in the fight, he said
when he might have considered something
In the way of compromise, but he could not
do SO now after the democrats had pre-
cipitated this. as he calls it, stand up fight,
ana forced upon the Senate this alterna tive
or nothing.
Mr.. Kyle will be found voting against the
BILL and 1t Is said that Mr.. Irby has said
that he could not say how he would vote
until he had considered the matter further
The appearances are. therefore, that the
democrats would be called upon to pass the
compromise, II they pass it, as a purely
party measure without aid from either re-
publican or populist.

of the new Ll Dorado, on the Rio Hondo
in Taos county, of the rich and unequalled
large bodies Of mineral, of the great
boom in store for it, but giving an i'm per
feet report of what is actually beng
uoir,.
The Rio Hondo can not be considered
new El Dorado, as the New Mnx1cAE
has frequently called attention to this dis
trict for years past.
mineral grant covered the territory
drained by the Rio Hondo. When it be-
came known this grant was not valid and
| could not be approved by tho land court,
new nerve was given the prospector and
capital began to unloose its purse
strings.
W. Fraser has been operating here
since 1877. Has taken out several thou
sand dollars of gold by means of aras-
tras. Has operated small smelter,
built ten miles of wagon road, and tho
development on his properties now foots
up to 1.5C0 feet of tunnel and 1900
feet of shaft, exposing large bodies of
good ore.
The Lone Star mine, owned by the
Taos Mountain Mining company and the
MazHaroth mine, owned by Fraser g.
Wheeler, have beon running day and
night all winter. No waste is taken from
these mines.
Robert Buchanan has made a rich
strike of lead and silver ore in his mine.
Properties belonging to Denverites are
developing richly. The Gov. Bent and the
N. 3. Laughlin are two Of the promising
claims in the camp. Several placer min
ing companies will commence early, both
by hydraulic and dry washers. The Taos
Mountain Mining company will bring in
a mill of l00-ton daily capacity and hoist
ing machinery for their mines as soon as
thu snow will admit. The stock of this
company is owned principally by promi-
nent men of Chicago, W. Fraser being |
resident agent A force is at work IN the |
interest of Denver company clearing off |
q townsite. Two hotels and two stores
are already building. 1t is said, the right
of way for branch of the D. u Il. G. has
been secured to the Rio Hondo.
The large area of the unprospected ter
rjtory which is known to be rich in min
eral will be picnic for the hundreds of
who will flock here as the
snow disappears.
