Prediction Regarding the Gold Pro-
ductiOp Of Guerrero. Mexico.

A recent dispatch from the City of Mex
leo says: 1t is predicted here that when
the gold placer mining is developed in the
state of Guerrero more gold will be taken
out than In the klondyke region. Some
placer mining is being done with excellent
results, and labor is cheap and water
abundant even in the dry season. One min
er, an old Californian, reports taking out
s2i,o0o gold in May, and his average is
$4,000 per month.
The Indians in Sonora, who work in a
crude way in tine local gold placers. only
operating when in pressing need of morey.
get large returns for very little labor,
and an explorer who has recently been
through the remotest regions states that
Sonora will equal California in its palmiest
Gays as gold producer.

Dominate Convention Tomorrow
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE. Md, July 27-The three
democratic legislative district conventions
were held today and delegates were chosen
TO represent the city at the democratic
state convention, which will be held here
at Fords Opera House tomorrow. Those
elected as delegates were largely German
men. and the senator will control the con-
vention beyond a doubt. Many of the coun-
ty delegates to the state convention have
expressions it is unlikely that silver will
cut any figure tomorrow.
There is, here and there, a silver man In
the crowd, but they are the exceptions
and the general opinion is that the platform
will ignore silver and Organism and con-
fine itself to local issues. German senti-
ment Is rampant among the delegates, and
they seem eager to do his bidding.

''It blows strong gale of wind, sir, !"
said Mr.. johnson politely. He sat near
est to the captain.
''It blows hard, SIR" answered old
Benson, arresting the hand with which
he was about to cut a slice Of some kind
Of sausage while he watched the stew
ard crawl on his hands and feet to lee
ward to pick up piece of ships beef
that had sprung from the table.
81 presume there is no dangerp" said
Mr.. Masters.
The captain let his little eyes dwell
upon the man for minute. He then
answered, with significant look, with
one of those slips which will make old
fashioned English of old mems talk,
"Was you never at sea beforeP"
"Oh, just little" answered Mr..
Masters airily, but with mind of eau
ton that betrayed itself in the fingers
he fiddled his tumbler of beer with.
"But was never in such a hurricane
as this.
Gentlemen, said the old skipper
firmly, "you are all of you very fortu-
nate in possessing good sea legs. There
are not many landsmen who could sit
and eat at this table with so much cour-
age and good spirits and with SO nice a
trick of fitting themselves to the heave "
After this no man spoke for some
time. The long pause was filled with
the dull thunder of SCATTERING seas. The
cabin was loud with the shrieks and
groans of strained fastenings.
All of a sudden Captain Trollope,
standing up, but holding on, addressed
Captain Benson in huge hurricane
lunged voice, such as man would send
across a moor at night for help, "You
have had time to reflect, sir, and now
probably you will see your way to make
the voyage a pleasant one by apologize
ing for the affront you caused your
mates to put upon us yesterday"
The skipper jumped up and looked
at him. His lips worked, but no sound
was made. Then with a gesture of fren-
zy he hoisted his arm and snapped his
fingers at Captain Trollope. In this
strange posture he remained for some
time, swaying on his arched legs like a
swing tray, watched by some of the
men as though he had gone out Of his
mind. He then called for his hat, drew
it to his ears, and again swapping his
fingers at Captain Trollope stepped on
deck
A great laugh went up when the lit
tie chap passed out, and no mans laugh
was louder than Trollope's.

A Trip to Betterton.

One of the most delightful trips ever
enjoyed by our citizens was the private
excursion to Betterton last Friday. A
party numbering about 40 persons left
Rising Sun at 1890 and drove to Port
Deposit where the little steamer, Getty
Belle" was in waiting to take them down
the Bay to Betterton, % miles below Port.
After lunch baskets were slowed away,
supplemented by six large watermelons
which were purchased at the wharf, the
party boarded the boat and Capt. Holm
headed the Getty Belle" down the river.
The weather was perfect and every one in
fine spirits. A number of points of inter-
est were passed on the way, including the
various points and indentations of the
Bay, the U. S. fish Matching station and
Spesutia island
Betterton Beach was reached two and
a-half hours after leaving Port and the
party went ashore to explore. Betterton
is beautiful little hamlet in Kent Co.,
and is famous fishing resort Three
fine hotels are located here for the accom-
mediation of sojourners and all excellent
pier and wharf for the shipment of
peaches and other produce
Through the kindness of Mr.. Turner,
the owner, tables were constructed on the
pier from pile of lumber stacked there
on. Soon a jolly spread was ready and
all fell to with appetites whetted to keen
ness by the breezes from the Bay. But
there was plenty and to spare for late
lunch on the return trip. Leaving Bet
terton shortly after 7 o'clock, the trip
back to Port was a dream of loneliness.
