necessary.
The impatience of the waiting volun-
teers was uncomfortable, and to pacify
them Captain Hawkins looked up Repre-.
sentative Buckner, aud prevailed upon
him 10 go TO Springfield and urge the
Governor to make some reply.
More speeches were then INDUCED in,

of words advised the assembled colOred

Valley in time to help our people, there
are many Italians in Chicago who can be

Other speeches, but not so fiery, were
INDUCED in. Two Of the negroes then
procured carriage and started out to
raise funds with which to charter spec

that 500 will go if transportation facilities

MINING LAWS.

Bills Prepared by the State Associa-
ton to be Presented to Congress.
SAN Francisco, Aug. 6.-Two bills
have been prepared by the Committee on
Legislation Of the State Miners Associa-
tion for Introduction in Congress. The
first provides for an appropriation sup
Elementary to the Caminetti Act, in order
TO make that law OF more general utility
to the hydraulic mining industry. The
other is intended to provide more re-
liable mems of ascertaining the character
of land as to the it's being mineral or
agricultural. and to transfer from the
Land Office to the local courts the de-
termination of such controversies.
The first change made i'll the present
law is to provide that the 500 worth of
labor to be performed on each located
claim during each year shall only run
until the payment Of the purchase money
and the issue OF the certificate OF entry
aud not until the Issue of patent. This is
intended to prevent title being placed in
jeopardy by the delays common at
Washington in the making out OF patents.
The period within which the work re-
qUlred 10 be done annually on mineral
claims is to be performed is made to COM
mence at noon on January 1St, instead of
at midnight of December 3lst, the idea
being to prevent the jumping of claims at
night, which sometimes happens at pres
eDt.
Provision is also made for the filing of
an affldaVlt OF The work performed or the
improvements made with the County
Recorder OF Deeds within thirty days
after the limit Tor the performance of
such labor or the making OF such I'M
provements. Failure TO comply with
these conditions opens mine or claim TO
their heirs, assigns, or legal represent
atives do not resume work upon the
claim after such failure and before such
relocation, ana continue the same with
reasonable diligence until the required
amount of labor shall have been per-
formed or improvements made.
At present all anidavits are required to
be made in the land district in which the
mine is situated. This is changed so as
to allow verification in the State or Terri
tory. The rest Of the section is recast
taking the determination of contests
over the mineral or agricultural character
of land from the District Land Offices
and placing them in the local courts.
The presumption is also tablished that
land il mineral ii it adjoins mineral land
or is in a mineral belt. The burden of
proof is thus thrown on the agricultural
land claimant. 4 more adequate plan of
notice 10 miners in case OF applications
for patents for lands Is also provided.
The bill increases from five to ten acres

in a lode claim. but used or occupied or
intended to be used or occupied by the

ing or mineral purposes.

0UTRAGES IN ARMENIA.
SENTIMENTS EXPRESSED BY EN-
PREMIER GLADSTONE.
The Government at Constantinople, He
Says, Is Responsible for the
Crimes Committed.

CHESTER (England), Aug. 6. - The
| Town Hall was packed to-day. in anticl-
patton of the hearing Of the speech OF
Gladstone upon the Armenian question.
Among those present were Messrs. d. r.
Clifford and Robert L. Paine of the
American Peace Society.
The audience rose with vooiferous
cheering when Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone
entered. The Duke of Westminster, as
chairman read letter from the Marquis
of Salisbury, now Premier. notifying
the Duke that the sum OF 81, 900 SUI b.
scribed for the rolisf of Armenians had
been forwarded to the British EN- bassa-
dor at COnstaniinople. Sir Philip Curry.
who had been given full discretion as to
the manner in which the money is to be
distributed.
After the usual preliminaries Gladstone
rose amid an outburSt of enthusiasm.
He said the Armenian question was not
q party matter or a religious affair. The
present situation in Armenia resulted
from the intolerably bad Government,
perhaps the worst on the face of the
earth. [Applause.i
Gladstone read a resolution to the effect
that this meeting express the conviction
that her maJesty's Government will have
the cordial support OF the entire nation
without distinction OF party IN any meas
ure, and 1t may adopt an order to secure
for the Armenians such forms OF ad-
ministration in the province as may pro-
vide an effective guarantee for the safety
Of life, honor, religion and property, and
no reforms can be effected without the
| continuous control of the European
| Powers
Gladstone then said the resolution wss
moderate, and expressed not only his
own sentiments. but those of their trans
Atlantic brothers, who felt even moro
strongly than did those present that the
| dispassonate inquiry that was made
after the Sassoun massacre showed the
/ Powers that language did not suffice to
describe the outrages which made ones
blood run cold. Applause.
The inquiry, he continued, verified
all the sickening details, not only of
European but of American testimony,
which was doubly entitled to credence,
as America politically had no interest
in the Levant. This testimony, summed
/ up into words, was plumber, murder,
/ criminal assault TORTURE but" added
Gladstone, 'plunder and murder were
comparatively mild beside the work OF
the ravisher and torturer. This is not
! work of dangerous classes" continued
| Gladstone, ''but OF the Government at
| Constantinople and its agents. And there
is not one OF their deeds for which the
Government is not responsible"
