MIR. sCoTT,s CANDIDACY.
He Will Make No Personal Effort to Sc
cure the Nomination.

cure the Nomination.
In reply to telegram Mr.. Scott yes
tertlay wired as follows:
Warrenton, Va, August 10th.
Your telegram received this morning.
My friends in various parts OF the State
desire to press my name for nomination.
1 will use no personal effort to secure
the nomination. r. CARTER SCOTT.
This leaves no doubt as to the exact
position of Mr.. Scott. He will take the
Office Until January next. and leave the
action of the Roanoke convention to be
what his friends can make it, as far as he
is concerned.
He realizes that the delegates in
structed for his father are in no sense
obligated to him, and still, if they insist
that he shall allow his name 10 be used,
he does not feel that at this late hour he
should decline
MI. R.ssCarter Scott is man of ability
and has a great many friends all over the
State of Virginia, but he has in no sense
of the word been a candidate in this
fight. His fathers interests were his,
and whatever was done by him was
along that line.
The strength of Mr.. Scott in the Roa-
noke convention is purely speculative
now. The Eighth district has always
been solid for Maj. r. Taylor Scott, and
this tin e was no exception. The cues
ton, however, arises as to whether the
mantle of their combined support will
fall upon the shoulders of the son is to be
determined.
He will make no personal appeal, and
the result is very doubtful, as the other
candidates may have many of the coun-
ties pledged to them as second choice, if
Major Scott had withdrawn.

Ottowa, Aug. 1.-THE Canadian gov.
eminent has abandoned the scheme of
forcing the miners going into the Klon-
dixie diggings, to pay royalty of from 20
to 10 per cent. on all gold taken. The.
nouncement of the tax was received with
such violent protests from politicians
and business men north and west that
the entire matter was promptly dropped.
