UNCLE SAM NOT IN 1T.
Our Government is Not Interfering in Eu,
ropean Afairs.

Washington. Sept 23.-From time to
time rumors have come from European
sources to the effect that the govern
ment of the United States had signified
an intention of cooperating with one
or more of the great powers those last
mentioned being Great Britain and It
ally TO enforce reforms i'm the Turkish
empire and prevent further attacks on
the Armenian Christians. To support
these stories a perfectly routine move
ment OF two OF our cruisers has been
twisted into an intended hostile dem
onstration.
IL can now be authoritatively stated
that II is not contemplated nor has il
been. that our government in the
slightest degree should depart from
its time honored policy of re-
framing from intervention in Euro
pean affairs further than is necessa ry
TO protect American citizens. and even
in protecting our citizens any action
taken will be absolutely independent Of
any other power. As was the case in
the Brazilian rebellion and the Chino
Japanese war. and in many other in
stances In the past. the government
as a matter of prudence. has main
tanned sufficient naval force near
places where Americans reside i'm mum
ber to insure their safety, but with the
political aspect of this or any other Eu-
ropean question. there will be no inter-
vention by our government.

None OF the Mines Reopened Militia on
Guard.

Leadville, Col, Sept. 23.-Over 1000
members OF the National guard of the
state of Colorado. under command OF
General Edgar Brooks. are now on
duty i'm this city. Some of them are
doing guard duty at the Maid of Erin
and other mines where attempted de-
struction of property is apprehended,
but the main body is encamped near
the Denver and Rio Grande railroad
depot.
The streets are filled with idle men
who are excitedly discussing the situa
ton, but no violence has been done
since the attacks upon the Coronado
and the Emmett mines early Monday
morning. in which IL Is now known
that at least six men were killed. No
attempt has yet been made to resume
operations at any of the mines. which
are closed in consequence of the strike.
but Il is believed that, as many of the
miners are desirous of returning to
work. some of the mines will soon bc
reopened under the protection afforded
by the presence of the troops.

New York, Sept 23.-John Boyd
Thacher will in all probability be with
drawn from the head of the silver
Democratic state ticket. The state
committee will meet, and the expected
result is the substitution of Wilbur +.
Porter OF Watertown, the present can
didate Tor lieutenant. in Thacher's
place. Tammany leaders at many in.
formal conferences Monday decided TO
use every effort To have Mr.. Thacher
withdraw and the twelve state com.
mitteemen of this city agreed to de-
mand the withdrawal of Mr.. Thacher
and to ask for the naming of Wilbur f,
Porter. They did not decide whom
they would urge for the vacancy in the
second place, but it is understood the
committee will be free TO select any
pronounced advocate of Bryan and the
Chicago platform without advice from
Tammany.
How Grady Feels.
Senator Thomas T. Grady, who was
temporary chairman of the Buffalo
convention, feels that Mr. Thacher's
letter shows him (Grady) in an unfa-
Vorable light before the silver Democ-
racy of the state, and made this most
significant remark:
Il don't care to forecast political
happenings, but l am free to say that
II Mr.. Thacher's letter had been pub
lished prior to the convention he would
not have been nominated. IN my orin-
ion Mr.. Thacher is now one OF the
