As our readers are aware. the TRIBUNE
has devoted considerable space at all
times to articles pertaining to the pro-
ductfon of coal. Among those most re-
Gently given in these columns were
several that were extracts from articles
published in the Boud Record, of New
York city. as was stated at the times
they appeared in the TRIBUNE. These
articles. when published in the Bond
Record, attracted general attention
among all classes who are interested in
coal. They were pronounced accurate
by those who are yerscd upon the sub
icct. and their author. Mr.. Griliths. re-
ceived many deserved compliments for
his panstaking work.

YALE MEN HOPEFUL
Trial Heats for Grand Challenge
Cup at Henley To-day.
LEANDERS ARE THE FAVORITES
Elrs Sons Must Win the First Heat or
Suffer Defeat-"Bob" Cook Not
Over Sanguine of
Victory.

Henley-on-Thames, July This af-
ternoon will witness the trial heats
for the Grand Challenge cup, and all
the crews who will participate therein
are on the anxious seat this morning.
The new boat of the Yale crew has not
proved at all satisfactory to the men,
and yesterday it gave out twice, ne
cessitating the stopping of rowing un-
til it could be repaired. This boat,
which Is made of paper, is sixty feet in
length and twenty-four inches wide
amidshtps. 1t does not meet the ap-
proval of English ocrsmen, who claim
that it does not begin to have the RI
gidity of an English-built cedar boat,
and that it is affected with structural
weakness The Yale crew are in the
best possible condition. DR.. Mcdowell
regards Hon. Rupert Guinness, the
present holder Of the Diamond sculls,
and Vivian Nickalls as the most for
mida bic of his competitors in the
Diamond scull contest. He thinks
that if he has the lead to the Faw-
ley Court boat house he will win.
The town is crowded with visitors
from all parts of the country, and
there are also many foreigners, especi
ally Americans, waiting to see the
races. The hotels and boarding houses
are filled to overhowing, and the
Henley tradesmen and others are reap
ing a bountiful harvest The course
is lined with houseboats, barges and
pleasure craft of every description.
The starts of the Leander crew are
fine and will give them an immediate
advantage, The representative of the
United Press last night had an inter
view with Bob Cook regarding the
general situation. He said that If the
Yale crew won the first heat they
would win the cup. He expected, how
ever, that they would be beaten at the
start, as starting was the Leanders
strong point. He added that Yale
would row to the finish whatever hap
pened. He had confidence in the staying
power of the men. He does not expect
that the Leander crew will fall off on
the second half of the course, as they
the first half. Mr.. Cook is not as san
guine of winning as are the Yale crew.
He intimated that he would not be
surprised if the Leanders won. lie said
the American crew would not row
above forty strokes per minute, while
he believed that the Leanders would
pull up to forty-three strokes.

New York, July THE republican
state committee will meet this after
noon at the Fifth Avenue hotel, when
the date for the state convention will
be set, at which the candidates for gov
ernor, acknowledgements and Judge
of the court of appeals will be named.
Saratoga will be the convention town.
There is no opposition to that, and the
time will, in all likelihood, be the lat
ter part of August 25 or 81. There has
been some talk of an early date in Sep
tember, but August has the call.

TO TRUE DEMOCRATS.
Address of tho Texas Gold Delegates Who
Declined To Seek Admission,


Chicago, July THE following are
the main points in the address of the
gold delegates from Texas who yester-
day decided not to apply for admission
to the conventions: ITO all true demo-
Gratis who are delegates to the national
conventions: The undersigned are
here as delegates from the state of
Texas, duly authorized and empowered
~ represent the sound money element
of the democracy of that state, by
representative delegate convention,
called and held in accordance with
party usages. We are not here for
the purpose of waging contest before
the convention as to our rights to
seats in that body, for candor compels
us to say that, under existing circum-
stances, we would not accept admission
to the convention. Coming as we do
from southern state in which the
party organization has been usurped
by political practices of the most ques-
tionable character, and which, by such
methods, has sent to the democratic
convention delegation committed to
the furthcrance and enactment of q
heresy wholly alien to democratic
principles and practices, we desire to
say to all true and loyal democrats
here assembled from the several states
that we represent more than 100, 900
democrats whose patriotism will not
tolerate the degradation of our
national honor. We are here to con-
tribute as best we may to the preserva-
tior and advancement of true demo-

VICTORY THE MAIN DESIRE.
Senator Stewart Says There Are A ny Num-
ber of Good and Tried Men Available.

Chicago, July SENATOR Stewart
of Nevada, speaking to United Press
reporter this morning before the con-
vention convened, said: ~ find the
delegates generally discussing how
they can secure the combined votes of
democrats, populists and republicans
1t is generally conceded that all these
parties would vote for Teller, and that
his nomination would secure success.
But many of them have their own can
didates, who have been faithful free
silverites, and they cannot see why
everybody should not vote for their
favorite There are large number of
good and tried men in the field, any
one of whom ought to satisfy good silver
adherents. However, the paramount
desire for victory is so great that it
seems proba Bile at this time that party
pre- judice will be buried and that there
will be a union upon representative
silver man of all the parties interested
and that the man selected will lead to
victory -

The more that becomes known about

faction there is expressed at his selection
by Hanna for the second place on the

obscnrity would cause him to be accept

newspapers Of the country have been

bart's record there is regular Rrpubi-

not be able to force him Off the ticket.
but it is certain that had they known as
much at st. Louis as they do now that
the Blaine Republicans in that couvcn-
tion would never have allowed Carrot
Hobart to be nominated for vice prcsi-
dent. and it is doubtful whether Hanna
would have asked such thing Of the
convention had he known that Hobart
not only boltcd the nomination Of Blaine
in the 1854 campaign, but furnished II
considerable part of the money to pay
the campaign expenses Of Ben Butler,
whose running was factor in the cleo
ion Of Mr.. Cleveland.
The Blaine Republicans were not any
too well disposed towards Mckinley any
way, and, now that they know the part
played by Hobart in Keeping their idol
out Of the White House, nobody need be
surprised If thousands Of them knife the
whole ticket in November.
