Columbus. O., Sept 9.-The attendance
| on the state convention OF the National
Democrats today was limited 20 probably
| fifty delegates. The leaders Of the party
express themselves as well satisfied. how
ever, and attribute the small attendance
to the fac: that the business men are less
apprehensive. generally. on the money
| question than a year ago. They believe
also that the party pursued a wise policy
in nominating a state ticket. This was
the only question in fac. on which adit-
ference OF opinion developed among the
delegates. Notwithstanding the COM
mittee appointed wednesday night had
decided that it was advisable TO nomin-
ate state ticket, the opposition succeed
ed in having a plank slipped into the
platform declaring il inexpedient 10 nom-
mate state ticket. A lively discussion
was precipitated by this coup of the min
ority and II was develo, sd that ;n- ques-
ton involved was whe,ner the party Or
ganization could be maintained more ef-
ing a state ticket.
Next TO the nominating OF a state tick
et. the most important action OF the con-
vention was indorsing a candidate for
United States senator. The proposition
originated with the Franklin county del
egates, and the Honorable john 5. Outh-
waite of this city was unanimously in
dorsed.
The following state ticket was nomin-
ated: For governor, Julius Dexter, Gin
cinnati; lieutenant governor, A. E. Mer-
rill. Sandusky: judge OF the supreme
court, Judge John H. Clark, Youngstown;
attorney general, Daniel Wilson. Cincin-
natl; state treasurer, Samuel Stevens,

Columbus, o., Sept. 9.-The Gold Dem
ocratic state convention met al 10 a. m
in the Great Southern theatre, with be-
tween 800 and 400 persons present. Judge
Beer of Bucyrus was made chairman and
after a short Introductory address. stat
ing the tene;s Of the National Democrat

hours on the money question. Letters
were read from Hon. ]. G.. Carlisle and
Hon. Henry Watterson.
Mr.. Watterson regretted that ne could

times one gbeink uppermost, sometimes
the other. In British Columbia and Al
aska those channels and deposits which
correspond with the dead rivers of Cali
fornia are now being formed. and the
glacial area is not yet over.
In the conversion Of the glacial mo-
raines into auNfarous treasure boxes ma
ture has simply done with the auriferous
| quartz ledges on gigantic scale what
the miner is doing on moderate scale
when he pulverizes the gold-53aring
rock and concentrates the metal ii con-
tains in the batteries and sluices OF his
mills. Nature has been doing an i'm
mense amount of unnecessary work
from the miners standpoint, in the
transaction; but nature wastes nothing.
and the work thus performed in the pro-
cess Of auriferous lead-building has been
utilized in the construction Of great and
fertile plains in the greater lower fur
rows on the eartn's crust; hence the rich
valleys which skirt the feet of the great
mountain ranges.
The phenomena Of quartz ledges from
which the treasure has been released
that is now found in the auriferous
mysteries OF creation. One of them is
found in their trend which Is almost in
variably little east OF north and ives.
OF south; another is in the dip. which
is to the east of the southeast. Such Is
the rule of gold-bearing ledges as 10
course and dip. The proof of rule Is
in its exceptions, and this has its excep-
tions, like all others, for some gold bear
ing lodges have been found that follow
an almost easterly and westerly course,
while one ledge in Tuolumn6 county, ana
the only other gold bearing quartz ledge
known, dips to the west, cutting lis way
with the creates. precision through the
granite formation in which II lies we
may account, perhaps. for the ordinary
dip Of these ledgeS in the effect OF the
earth'S revolution on its own axis from
west TO east during that period in its life
when the rocks were still in a plastic
condition, and the centrifugal force ex-
erted incline the assures previously
formed in the crust, and which flied
with the foreign mineralized matter cali
ed quartz. in that position Of which they
were afterwards fixed as the earth cool
ed off. But the peculiar and persistent
trend of gold-bearing quartz ledge. in a
northerly and southerly course has had
the curious influence OF causing nearly
all auriferous placer leads east and west.
and il is the placer leads that take this
course which have hitherto and almost
invariably will be found 20 contain the
largest deposit Of the precious metal, for
in the course of their creation the great
ice plougs furrowing the rocks intersect-
ed all the ledges in the mineral belt that
lay in their path. Experience has thus
taught the practical miner that the plac-
ers Of a stream running north and south
are on the other hand almost invariably
poor, for the glaciers that have formed
them have abraded the lodges parallelins
their course along the mineral belt. Usu-
ally the auriferous placer lead whose
course is northerly and southerly one.
has derived what wealth it contains
from the contributions of its lateral trib-
utaries and not direct from the abrasion
Of the lodges.

Washington. Sept. s.-The sttsrtion OF
Senior julio Rengifo. the representative
OF the republic OF Colombia. was called
20 the reports that Colombia had grant
cd concession 10 England to compiets
the Panama canal. thus transferring
mammoth enterprise from French 10
English hands. Senior Renglfo said he
had no information from his government
on the subject. as the canal project did
come wishin the jurisdiction OF the rep
resentative at Washington. AZ the same
time. speaking from an extended ac-
quaintancs with canal affairs. General
Rengifo expressed great doubt as TO the
accuracy OF The reports. and pointed out
a number OF circumstances showing that
il was impossible that such concession
70 England or any other foreign govern
ment had been granted. Only few
weeks ago Director-Cenerai Hulin OF the
Panama Canal company was in Wash
ington and paid his respect to General
Rengifo before returning to Paris. The
call was unofficial. and Cne OF the cour-
tesy. but General Hulln spoke with the
greatest satisfaction ot the work being
done by the French company. and gave
no intimation that any transfer TO Eng
iish hands. much less 10 the English
government, was contemplated.
Il IS pointed out by the officials con-
versant with the status OF the canal that
no concession could be granted TO a for
eign government. either by Colombia or
by the French company. as the latter IS
expressly prohibited from granting ad-
vantagss 10 any particular nation. and
Colombia has already transferred her
interests 70 the French company II Is
not doubted. however. that the French
company is enlisting private capital in
the enterprise wherever it can secure II,
either in England. the United States.
France or any other country. but this
IS regarded as without significance.
At the STATE department no !nforna-
tion has come from the consular officers
al Panama that any change in the canal
concessions had occurred.
Secretary Sherman stated that, while
he had no official Information on the sub
ject. he was convinced that there was no
truth in the report that Great Britain
had undertaken to complete the Panama
canal.
England had no desire TO embark IN
such an undertaking" he said. "ani had
no such intention. Individual subjects
Of that country have interested them
selves in vast enterprises in all parts OF
the world. but. so far as know. there
are no indications that they have gone

| to Use CoercIve Measures.
Birmingham, Eng, Sept. 9.-The
Trades Union congress today adopted
a resolution recommending all societies
affiliated with the congress to by al
means possible restrict or abolish over
time in their respective trades.
The following resolution was then
passed:
That this congress is Of the opinion
that the law as it relates to intimida-
tions during strikes or lockouts, is I'M
fair and unjust. as it Furnishes by fines or
| imprisonment any worker judged guilty
| Of assaulting or preventing through
| fear another worker from working.
while allowing employers TO blacklist
| workers or to discharge or to obtain the
| discharge Of workers who may have been
| on strike or locked out, thus intimidat-
| ing workers for pursuing their lawful
| employment
The parliamentary committee Of the
congress was instructed TO at once move
to extend the law in the requisite direc-
ton. Resolutions against Child labor
were also introduced.
The employment of children in factor
les gave rise to considerable discussion.
The National Union of Gas Workers and
General Laborers introduced the follow
ing resolution on the subject:
Considering that the employment Of
children in factories and workshops, and
aboard of river and canal craft. and their
consequent exploitation by capitalists is

human race; considering the Infamous
fact that the children OF the working
classes have not the same opportunities

the children OF the capitalist class; con-
sidering that in comparison Great Brit
ain is behind other countries; consider
ing that unhappy parents. under an un-
happy system, are actually willing, and
even anxious, 10 have their children torn
from them and hurled into the factory
this congress is OF an opinion that the
time has come for Grea. Britain 20 cease
building its empire on children's hearts,
20 give up coming lis wealth out OF chill
drens wasted lives, and hereby instructs
the parliamentary delegates 10 demand

NERVY VICTIMS.
Many acts of bravery and nerve were
displayed
Claud Hollister Of Topeka had both
his legs broken and shattered in half a
dozen places. When his rescuers laid
him on the grass beside the track he
turned to one of the group and asked if
ne would pull through.
When assured that ne would live il he
was brave he said: Am 1 not brave?
Look at my legs dangling and then ask
me to be brave. suppose they will have
to be amputated, but will bear the op-
Grafton and live through it. I do not
propose to die for lack of nerve and cour-
age. My God, what has become Of my
comrades?'
William Frisbie, engineer Of the fast
mail, whose residence is in Topeka. was
conscious until he died. He said:
Il did not see the other train until I
came upon it. 1 turned on the air and
jumped. 1 presume I cannot recover,
