The Huntington mill now grinding
the quartz from the Gold Hill claims
is eventually to be moved down to the
smelter site and, rumor has it, will be
supplemented with stamps. Mills and
smelters, probably concentrators as
well, are all to be operated with water
power. Louis Wickberg is now under
contract and building road of easy
grade to connect the Gold Hill claims
with the smelter site.

A HOPELESS SEARCH
San Francisco Republicans Can Find
No Harmony Anywhere

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 2s.-
Nothing was accomplished today in the
direction of harmony among the local
Republicans because of the persistent
refusal of the boilers to do anything
that would tend to unite the party.
The program that is being carried out
by the boilers is denounced by the
Chronicle as rank party treachery and
a deliberate attempt to wreck the Re-
publican party in the interest Of the
Democracy. The contract is declared to
be a far-reaching one, going to the re-
election of Stephen M. White to the
United States senate two years hence.
That paper says: "It is openly charged
in political circles that County Clerk
Curry and Phil Crimmins are taking or
ders from and are receiving financial
aid from certain interested corporations
to effect this end.
"The political conspiracy involves the
election of Thomas v. Gator to the
United States senate by the corpora
tions. The Democrats throughout the
state have been trading their assembly,
men to the Populists for superior judges
and county officers. Gator has already
nearly all the nominees for assembly
men from the interior. While the cor
porations found little difficulty in put
ting up this job in the interior, they
found it necessary to be more adroit
in their manipulations of this city. To
accomplish their ends they have agreed
to turn over all the local patronage of
fees to the Democrats in consideration
Of plant Democratic legislators from
this city"

THB SULTAN IS SCARED
By Representations of the French
Ambassador
Throughout the Empire ia aleaIl----
while the Massacres Continue.

LONDON, Sept 29.-The Times Paris
correspondent quotes Constantinople
dispatch to the Temps which confirms
the report that NJ Cambon. the French
ambassador at Constantinople, has
made a serious representation to the
sultan regarding the massacre of Ar
menians. The dispatch expresses the
belief that the sultan has promised to
constitute a commission to extend re-
forms throughout the Turkish empire.
A Paris dispatch to the Chronicle says
that NJ. Cambon's mission to Constanti-
nople is a success. "The ambassador"
the dispatch adds, adopted tone al
most menace toward the sultan. There
is not the slightest fear Of dissension
among the powers"
A dispatch to the Times from Gambia,
Crete, says that band of armed Mo-
hammedans, which left there by permis-
sion of the government, looted and
burned the villages of Drapte, Kalyvin
and Kastellina in the district. of Mono
fatsi and destroyed the church of Hagio
Apostoli. The vice-consuls warned the
governor and the Mohammedan leaders
that a renewal of outrages would have
serious consequences.

The New Candidates In Full Accord
With the Platform and Candidates
of the Chicago Convention
Associated Press Special Wire


NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-The Demo-
cratic state committee met tonight in
this city to hear the report of the COM
mttee appointed to notify the nominees
of the recent Buffalo state convention.
There was a full attendance by the
members, in person or by proxy, but
Senator Hill, who surprised everyone by
appearing at a recent meeting of the
committee with a proxy and then made
sensational speeches in behalf of john
Boyd Thacher, the gubernatorial nom
inee, was not present at this time. The
committee reported that Mr.. Thacher
had refused to accept the nomination for
governor, and that Judge Titus had ac-
cepted the nomination for supreme
court justice, and that WILDER E. Porter,
the nominee for lieutenant-governor
had placed himself in the hands of the
committee. The meeting of the COM
mittee had been delayed an hour by
caucuses, SO when the report was made
there was little delay in the proceedings
In these caucuses it had been agreed
that the man to be named in place of
Mr. Thacher should be w. F.Porter,
the nominee for lieutenant-governor
and in his place Fred C. Schraub of
Lewis county should be named for lieu
tenant governor. Mr.. Danforth, after
the report had been adopted, asked Sen
ator Grady to take the chair, and then in
a few words he presented the name Of
Judge Porter for first place. Mr.. Yorke
moved the nomination by acclamation,
but Mr.. Grady ruled that the roll must
be called.
Mr.. Purroy asked: "How are we to
know how Mr.. Porter stands on the plat
form? The notification committee has
not heard his views on the platform"
To this Mr.. Danforth replied: Il am
assured by the state committeeman from
Judge Porter's district that he is in full
accord with the candidates and the plat
form of the Chicago convention, and
am also informed by Mr.. st. John that he
has a telegram from Judge Porter to
that effect"
The nomination was made unanimous,
as was that of Fred Scraub Of Lewis
county for lieutenant-governor.
Mr.. Scraub came before the commit
tee and made short speech, pledging
himself to the Chicago platform ami
ticket and accepted the nomination.

AN AWFUL CASE.

NEWPORT, Ark. Sept 2S.-The dead
body of a girl was recovered from the
river near Jacksonport about two weeks
ago. and her identity until today was a
mystery. Today it was learned that she
came from Formosa, Van Buren, county,
and that just before election day she had
nineteen men arrested for assault. When
the case came up her testimony was so
horrible that officers doubted her state
ment and discharged the prisoners. Since
the finding of the body evidence has been
secured which reveals the truth of her
statement and show that she was outraged
and afterward murdered by some of the
men whose arrest she had caused.

A HISTORY OF CUBA.

In 1913 aud again in 1854 Havana
was destroyed by the French.
Matauzas was the first city to fall
into the hands of the insurgents.
Cruelty and injustice to the
natives has always been the creed
of the Spaniards.
The present revolution began
February "a, 1895, when the repub-
lie was proclaimed by Marti.
In 1s48 President Po.k offered
Spain S1,OOO,OOO for the island,
which offer was refused.
The constitution of Cuba, modelled
on that of the United States, was
adopted September %, 1895.
The revolution of 1868 lasted ten
years before Spain succeeded in
compromising by promising reforms.
A triangular blue union, having
a single star and five stripes, three
of red and two of white, is the flag
of the republic.
Very little reliable news of the
present insurrection can be obtain
ed, owing to the censorship of the
press and the mendacity of the
leaders of both sides.
The first serious revolution took
place in l848, under the leadership
of Narclso Lopez, who in 1851 re-
peated his attempts to free, the

email bronze bust of Mckinley. In the
accompanying remarks Judge Abbey
said he had the highest esteem and re-
gard for Major Mckinley as a man, q
soldier, statesman and citizen; one
whom we could look up to with honor
and respect, but the judge differed with
the candidate on the financial question
and thinking that the bust had a more
consistent abiding place with the club
than with ham the judge made the pre-
santation. The Judge was given large
amount of applause. 1. w. Seaman
