for the Atlantic 4 Pacific rs'roaa, ap-
peared at the United States land Office
yesterday with an application to enter
161, $3.50 acres of land selected from the

his railroad. These lands are situated
east and south of the Navajo reservation

and will bring the salaries of the register
and receiver nearly up to the maximum
for the year closing.

DEMOCRATIC BIMETALLISTS
Notable Conference of Democratic Sill
YER Leaders in Progress at
Chicago.
SILVER OUTLOOK VERY SATISFACTORY
Democratic National Convention Will
Adopt l g to Platform and Nomi-
nate l6 to l Candidates-No
Compr omise with Gold Men.

Chicago, June 3O.-The conference of
the Dem mocratic Bimetalic committee was
called to order few minutes past -
o'clock to-day by Senator Harris, of
Tennessee. There were present quorum
of the committee and large number of
distinguished silver Democrats, including
Senators Bate, of Tennessee, Jones, of
Arkansas, Turpie, of Indiana, Daniel, of
Virginia, and Cockrell, of Missouri.
Ex-senator Martin, of Kansas, Gov.
Stone, of Missouri, congressman Mo
Milin and Richardson, of Tennessee, and
exCongressman Bryan, of Nebraska, were
also present.
The first meeting WAS devoted largely
to introductions and an exchange of
views as to the outlook. The opinion
was generally expressed that there would
be no question as to the absolute control
| of the convention by the silver forces,
to which was added determination to
see that nothing happened to weaken the
| control.
There was more or less discussion on
Whitney's attitude among the delegates
and it was noted that there was no ex-
preston by anyone favorable to yielding
to the gold standard element in anything.
Senator Harris said: 81 want no COM
promise. We should either have decla-
ration for the free coinage of silver on
terms equally with gold at the ratio of 6
to l, so no human being can mlsunder-
stand it, or we should have an equally
plain pronunciamento for the gold stand
ard"
SILVER MEN DETERMINED.
Chicago, 2:3O p. m.-The Bimetallic
meeting appointed committee to confer
with the executive committee of the
national committee to learn its plans
regarding the temporary organization,
80 that, il they are not acceptable to the
silver majority, steps can be taken to
counteract them. The silver men are
determined to control the temporary
| organization.

Victor Mine Bonded.

The owners of the Victor mine, at the
head of Cola canon, Cochiti mining dis
trict, have leased and bonded their mine
to Colorado parties for fifteen months
for $4,000. The owners are to receive
in addition to the bond 10 per cent of all
ore valued at $50 and Is per cent of all
ore over $50 per ton taken from the prop
erty in the fifteen months. The lessees
agree to put in thirty days work each
month for fifteen months. This is by far
the best bargain made in the Cochiti dis
trict, and was consummated through f.
II. Shuckhart, one of the owners. This
move will open up for development, one
of the best properties in the west and
make Cochiti boom.

Wilkesbarre, Pa. June 3O.--The situa-
tion in the Pittston mine shaft has under
gone no change since midnight. The
rescuers continue the work under great
difficulties. The squeeze is general and
at the foot of the shaft the loud rumbling

most favorable conditions the workers
could not hope to clear the gangway to
where the 100 entombed men are in less
than month.

Democratic National Committee.

Chicago, June 3O.-The Democratic ma
tional committee will not meet until noon
on Monday, the day before the conven'
tion. There have been reports of oon-
tests from Michigan, Texas, Nebraska,
Nevada and Colorado. Secretary Sharin
SAYS that SO far he has received official
notice of none except in Nebraska.
The practice has been to deprive both
parties to contest of participating in
the temporary organization, thus refer
ring the entire matter to the convention
1t is believed that this plan will be pur-
sued this year, though the silver men
have been somewhat apprehensive that
the national committee may attempt to
override precedents and seat the gold
contestants.
The sub committee, which will meet
tomorrow, will be asked by the silverites
to give them some assurance on this
point. The national committee will de-
signate the temporary officers of the con
vention.
TWO-THIRDs RULE WILL BE ADVOCATED.
Chicago.-The illinois delegation to
the national Democratic convention voted
unanimously to-day to support in CON
vention resolution for the abrogation

The proposition was supported in q
fierce speech by Altgeld. He declared
that the rule had been a curse to the

ly party of majority control. The

retary of the Demo congressional

St. Louis, June 30.-Mr. Taubeneck,
chairman of the national executive COM
mittee of the Peoples party, has returned
from Chicago, where he has been in con-
sultation with the leading Populists of
Illinois, Indiana and Iowa. He said: "As
sure as any candidate at Chicago gets the
nomination by support of the gold dele
cations, the Peoples party will put out
ticket in the st. Louis convention that
will get the solid Endorsement at the polls
