CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR OF.
MAINE WRITES TWO LETTERS. =
state Platform Is for Gold, and He
Does Not Subscribe to the
National Platform.

Portland, Me-, July 26.-E. B. Winslow
the democratic candidate for governor
made public two letters today, one nol-
flying him of his nomination by the dem
ocratic state convention. In this letter
the loyal support OF the democracy Oh
Maine was pledged to Mr.. Winslow.
TO this letter of notification Mr.. Wlns-
low replied as follows:
"Gentlemen: Your Letter of June "a, IN
forming me of the action of the demo-
cratic convention, held in Portland, June
II, which made me the unanimous chol2e
of the convention as candidate lor soN-
ernor. was duly received, and in reply
1 would say am deeply gratetul 10 the
democrats of Maine for the confidence
they place in ME in placing me IN nomih-
alton as their standard bearer. The plat
form adopted by the state convention
which has declared for a single gold
standard is plain and 1t was upon tue
platform that I was nominated, and
could not, even had so desired, accept
this nomination, under any other circum-
stances than to stand firmly upon the
platform made by the democratic party
of Maine
1.-The democratic national convention
adopted a platform declaring for the free
| and unlimited coinage OF silver and there
| is a strong pressure brought to pear 10
have me announce myself in favor OF
| the national convention, which ala ho'
consider was right to do in accepting
| the nomination, as 1t was ten
| dered to me by the state convention,
There have been many expressions OH
| the part of the democrats of Maine in
l bod hno no
| to me at all times that there was but one
thing for me to do, and that was tol
me to stand firmly by the Maine platform
| Since the democratic national convention
it has been thought advisable to hold
some meetings of conference with the
members of the state committee and the
leading members of the democratic party
| that free and full expressions might be
| obtained, and it was plainly shown thai
| a wide difference of opinion existed anc
many of the democrats of Maine thought
| it my duty to come forward and indorse
the democratic national platform.
1T have given no expression up to the
| present time as to what l should do, bu
have given the matter great deal OF
| thought and study, and see but one thins
for me to do and stand as l wish to witt
the people of Maine. That is to decline
the nomination so kindly rendered me
and 1 assure you that no one regrets
this more than 1 do.
at is very evident from the free ex
pressions of opinion that if wish to Sc
cure the vote of the democratic party
shall be obliged to harmonic with boil
the gold and silver platforms, and tina
1 can not do under any circumstances
Yours very truly,

NichOisOn's Patrol Encountered
Good Fighters.

London. July 26.-The following Bulu-
wayo dispatch has been received by the
Chronicle:
Nicholson's patrol, 300 strong, was
checked yesterday in a narrow gorge
at the north OF Natoppo hills, leading to
Laughs stronghold. The enemy, in
great strength, occupied an impregnable
position, and they were fully equipped
with rifles and ammunition. The straight
ness of their shooting was remarkable
The Cape boys with Nicholson's pa
troD cleared the neighboring heights of
the enemy, inJuring 20 of the rebels, but
n gallant attempt TO force a passage
was checked by a heavy fire from the
caves studding the mountain, deliver I'll

DAMAGES OF $4,000 FOR HE.Rx

San Diego, July 26.-The jury in the
Hearn libel case, which has been on trial
Tor several days past, came into court
at noon today announced a verdict FOR
the plaintiff, assessing his DANA
ges at $4,000. The plaintiff in the case is
Dr. c. Hearn of this city. The defend
anus are NJ II. De Young, proprietor of
tne san Francisco Chronicle and J. F.
b'unt' formerly that papers San Diego
correspondent. The article which formed
the basis Of the suit was sent from this
city IN August, 1894. 1t was construed
by Dr. Hearn and some of his friends
as duplicating the doctor in the murder
OF Amos j. stilwell at Hannibal, Mo-.
IN December. 1895. Subsequently to the
publication of the article, Hearn was
indicted for the murder and acquitted

is THE BOUNDARY LINE RiGHi'
Mistake Which May Give America
Valuable Property.

Colville, Wash, July 26.-For many
wears the belief that the international
boundary line between the United States
and British Columbia. as established by
the boundary line commission. was fixed
through error, is now receiving numer-
GUS adherents to that belief; and even
the subjects of her majasty'S dominion
now concede that there is a mistake
somewhere that should be corrected.
prominent barrister of Nelson, b. C.,
who visited IN this city this week, states
that the matter is of more than little
concern to the people on his side of the
line, and the general belief is that the
variation, on a line running east from
the Pacific coast, is of such degree
as will place the town of Rossland near
ly three miles south of the 10Th parallel
when once properly established
The people of the United States have
given the rumor very little consideration
and have been inclined to dismiss it as
meddesome gossip; but the British
who always guard with Scrupulous jeal-
ousy against the slightest encroachm ent
upon their territory. have been inclined
to treat the matter seriously, and it is
probable that an overture on the part
of our government to reSurvey tie line
would create a considerable commoton
among our northern neighbors
The fact that the contract surveyors
of the reservation last year found it alb
solutely impossible to conform the sys-
TEN of government land surveys already
established to the international boun-
Diary line, furnishes another evidence
that the boundary line is wrongly mark
ed out over the country. Whether this
feature of the government land surveys
on the Coville reservation has been in
corporated into the reports to the in
terror department is not known, and by
some it is believed that it was not re-
ported upon for the reason that it might
complicate the report and necesstate a
rejection of the work under the con-
tract. AT any rate, the variance in the
survey on our side of the line, and the
apparent concern OF our British neigh
bors, should furnish sufficient evidence
to call out an investigation, and that in.
vestigatlon should not be long delayed

IRON MILL MEN GO TO WORK
Labor Adjustment at Pittsbure
Which Affects 10000 Men.

Pittsburg, July 26.-Tomorrow will oc-
cur the beginning of the resumption of
the iron mills, which will soon put to
work at least 10000 idle men. 1t is esti-
mated that at least that number are in
terested in the settlement of the wage
scale with the Ohio manufacturers of
Youngstown Saturday night The sue
cess of the amalgamated association in
making the wage settlement it has eff
fected means, too, that the men en-
ployed in non-union mills will get an adj
vance in their wages and that their en-
poyers will sign an agreement to paw
them union prices.
This comes as near as recognition of
the union as the men are contending for
at present. The conference was with the
Ohio association, but plants in several
other states will be started under the
agreement.

CONVENTION OF SCIENTIST
Endenvor to Bring 1t to the State OF
Washington.

Seattle, July 25,-President Mark w.
Harrington of the university of Washing
ton. who is now in Boston, is endeavor-
ing to bring to the state of Washington
an important convention of scientists,
and he has every promise of success. In
1897 the British Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science will cross the At
lantic and meet at Toronto. The Cana
dian Pacific is organizing an excursion
across the continent, and will carry at
least 400 of the British scientists to Van
couver, B. c. The American Society for
the Advancement of Science desires to
hold its 1897 meeting at a place convent
ent for the entertainment of their Brit
ish friends. They also desire to invite
the members of the Australasian Associ-
alton for the Advancement of Science to
meet with them. The officers of the
American association have already indi-
Gated their desire to select Seattle as
their meeting place, provided suitable
railroad rates can be secured Earnest
invitations are being sent by Governor
McGraw, Mayor Wood, President e. o.
Graves of the chamber of commerce,
President James r. Hayden of the board
of university regents, and others, and at
present it looks much as though Seattle
will be permitted to entertain the rep
resentatives of the chief scientific asso-
Citations of the great Engish-speaking
race. 1t will be the greatest congress of
scientists America has ever seen. For
nearly half a century the American As
ISOLATION for the Advancement of Sci
ence has met in various cities of the
United States, but never on the Pacific
coast; and the present occasion seems
fortunate for the state of Washington,
as it is likely to bring from 200 to 1905
scientists here during the summer of 1897
