JUGGLING THE SILVER ISSUE.
Baltimore Bryanitss Tired of the
ssUndyfng Prineipie,' of Thievery.

BALTIMORE, July 81, 1S97.-The Demo-
cratic State Convention will meet at
Ford's Opera House tomorrow at noon,
to nominate candidates for Comptroller
and Clerk of the Court of Appeals
A new State Central Committee will be
chosen, and It's chairman will be desig-
mated by the chairman of the conven-
ton.
A great deal of hard thinking is being
done by the party leaders over the con-
struction of the platform. It has been
decided that the monetary question must
be ignored. or ''straddled'' If the leaders
can control the convention as they wish
there will be a noticeable absence of any
reference to the great bone of contention
last fall,
Should the silver element in the con-
vention not be satisfied with this scheme
a concession may be granted so far as to
declare for a currency based upon gold
and silver at some ration to be determined
after the results of the conferences upon
the subject now being held in various
parts of the world are known.
The only candidates for the Comptroller-
ship nomination at present talked of are
County Treasurer George A. Deakyne of
Caroline and ex-States Attorney John r.
Pattison of Dorchester. j. Frank Ford
of ST. Mary's. is the only candidate so far
announced for Clerk of the Court of Ap-
peals. He will probably be renominared
without opposition.

TRUE UNIFORMITY.
No Other Plan Before the
Miners Conference at
Pittsburg Today.

PITTSBURG, Pa, July q, 1897.-The
long looked for conference of the Pitts
burg coal operators which the joint ar
bitration commission fully expects to
adopt plan which will settle the big
miners strike, was called for IL O'Clock
this morning in the Court House, but
owing to the slowness of the operators to
gather, it was almost noon before it was
called to order. It is the largest meeting
of the kind ever held in this district. The
convention bein an open one the miners,
officials and many interested citizens are
on hand as spectators.
AS yet the true uniformity plan,
which is being urged by disqualification
commission is the only one presented to
the conference.
While the operators generally are
apathetic and have little faith in the sue
cessful consummation of the commissions
wish, they are ready and anxious to dis
cuss and adopt some plan of arbitration
which will bring about peace and put the
miners to work.
True uniformity calls for cash payments
for every two thousand pounds of coal
mined, every two weeks abolishment Of
company stores and the uniform screen.
L ne 'uHIefeiitldi betWeeIl llie lHiSh anu
thin vein coal and between Ohio and
Pennsylvania coal may also come up for
consideration. The operators in the thin
vein coal say the fourteen cents difference
in favor Of thick vein coal is too much,
and some go as far as to say it should
be cut one half This cut if attempted,
will be fought by the thick vein opera
tors, and may be the first rock on which
the conference will split, as all the other
re ,cl ho1vn fyr0 0r1t tnG C
proper in former conferences and conven-
tionS.
There are 106 railroad mines in the
Pittsburg district, and these are operated
by eighty-nine firms. Thirteen of these
are said to mine and control almost nine
ty per cent. of the coal mined in the dis
trict.
The ambition of the arbitrators and w.
p De Armitt, the father of the uniformity
agreement, is to have 95 per cent. of the
system or standard of doing business.

NO TELEPHONE REORGANIZATION
Rumors Denied ALI Around by Peo-
ME Wha Ought to Know.
Especial to 'sThe Jersey City News.

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News."l
NEWARK, July 27, 1S97.--The rumor
that the Newark Telephone Company has
been reorganized with such men as Unit
ed States Senator Smith, B. M. Stanley,
Z. B. Gaddis and Thomas Nevins, the
Orange contractor, as the nucleus of a
syndicate, is emphatically denied by peo-
pie directly concerned. Rumor had 1t
that the company, in its new dress, had
decided to push work so as to have 2,2O0
telephones in service by December next,
and that the capitalists interested had
agreed to put in s150,000 in cash, take UP
all unsubscribed stock and assume the
contract of the New York and New Jer-
sey Construction Company.
So far as Senator Smith is concerned
he desires it to be announced that he
is in no manner nor form interested in
the new telephone company.
James F. Connolly, when asked what
truth there was in the report, replied
Il regret to say it is not true. AS a
director of the Newark Telephone Com
pany / will state that there is no deal
being made in the interest of the company
with Senator Smith, B. NJ. Shanley or
e. B. Gaddis.'
Chandler w. Riker, counsel for the COM
pany, who is credited with having formed
the syndicate, declared today that there
was nothing in the runnor and added
that the story published about 1t was
fake"
In reply to a direct question as to
whether it was true that Mr.. Nevins had
arranged to put $125, 900 into the new con-
Germ, Mr.. Riker said that no understand
ing had been made with Mr.. Nevins in
any way.

matter except to say: There are times
when we would like to say something, but
on account of the existing conditions can
not This Is such a time. cannot say
more than that arrangements are being
made to put the Newark Telephone Com
pany in a better financial condition and
complete plans that have been made for
the betterment of the system.
Thomas Nevins has been in Ireland for
over year
It is said by some people that the story
of the alleged deal probably eInanated
from a New York and New Jersey con-
struction company source.
The directors of the telephone company
held a meeting on Friday night and, it is
given out, discussed at length methods by
which they could avoid difficulties that
might arise through the suit of a Penn
sylvania concern against the construction
company
Mr.. Stanley simply smiled when spoken
to about it and wouldn't say anything.

DOES JAPAN mean War 2.
St. James Gazette Says Its
Language Is a Belligerent
Deelaration-Mo Press
Comments.
[By Gable to The Associated Press.


LONDON, July 27. ls97.-The St. James
Gazette" commenting upon Japan's pro-
test in the Hawaiian matter, says i
According to European usage it
amounts to threat to resist the transfer
of the archipelago by force and is equiva-
lent to warning the United States that
they must give up their views as to
Hawaii or prepare for war It does mean
just SO much in the mouth of Japan,
though the Americans do not seem to
think so. But they have such odd ideas
of diplomatic language that they are no
great authorities"
The Pail Mall Gazette" says
1--WE have said from the first that it is
no concern of Great Britain whether the
United States annexes Hawaii or not; but
Japan's protest should give the American
Jingoes something to think about. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether American
opinion will ratify the annexation policy
If it does, the matter will become inn
portant, for Japan has powerful navy;
and, if it does not, Secretary Sherman
and at any rate President Mckinley. will
think twice before inviting the Japanese
navy to do the mischief it undoubtedly
could
Tho GLOBE, after referring to
.'the cynical insolence of the American
Minister says
Should it be our misfortune TO engage
in /, quarrel with our kin beyond the
sea, we must seize Hawaii Immediately;
but the state of things against which it
is necessary to take precautions now IS
the by no means remote contingency OF
war between the United States and a
European pbwer, able to take Hawaii,
which would then become strategic
point of great Importance against our
selves. If Japan advocates or commutes
her rights, it IS the clear duty of this
country TO interfere even at the risk of

QUARTZ IN STEWART RIVER.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 81, 1Ss7.-The
latest rumor from Alaska is of the Won
derfully rich quartz in large quantities
on the Stewart River. Particulars are
vague and beyond the fact that the ledge
is a large one and that the rock essays
$780, nothing can be learned.
This if true, will mean much for the
Klondyke district. The Stewart River
runs into the Yukon not far above Daw-
son and it is reasonable to suppose that
the placer gold now being found below
may have it's origin in the mountains at
the head of the Stewart River and neigh
boring streams.

RESERVES AT FISHERS ISLAND
Target Practice Interfered With by
the Storm-Ships Rem ain at Anchor.

FISHERS JSLAND, N. Y, July q, 1897.
The Naval Militia of New Jersey, New
York and Rhode Island, which are doing
duty on board vessels Of the United
States Nafy. at anchor in Long Island
Sound, of this island, are having some
weather today. The programme, which
has been arranged for the reserves to-
day. called for target practice at sea, and
plans had been made for trip of the
battleships Texas and Massachusetts off
towards Block Island
Early this morning, however. it began
to blow hard out of the northeast and
the indications point to a somewhat pro-
tracted dry northeastern This would rem
der it inexpedient to attempt target
practice at sea. Consequently the big
ships remained at their anchorage this
morning instead of getting under way at
nine O'Clock, the appointed hour. None
of the militiamen have been ashore thus
far today, and there are few signs
Of activity on board the various vessels.
If the weather is not more favorable later
in the day the sea trip will be abandoned
and the day will be devoted to sub-calibre
practice at anchor.

BULLDOZING TANGIER.

TANGIER, July 27, 1ss7.-The United
States warship Raleigh returned here this
morning.
Consul General Burke reports that he
has been received everywhere along the
coast with marked respect. He has not
yet received an answer from the Sultan
to the demands made upon him growing
out of the recent irritating attitude of
the natives towards American citizens,
but the reply is expected daily and it is
understood that the Government will
make all the concessions asked.
The demonstration made by the Raleigh
has evidently had the designed effect, and
the Moors will hereafter show more con-
sidcration for the persons and property
of Americans in Morocco.

Dadario's crime was one of the most
brutal and shocking in police annals of
this city. On the morning of January 25,
1897, the body of Modestino MOTTO, aged
three years, was found frozen stiff in an
alley in the rear of No. S12 Emeline
street Much mystery surrounded the
case but finally the little body was iden-
titled by Mr. MOTTO as that of his child,
who had been missing from home for
two days. The father informed the police
that Dadario had visited his house. two
nights before the discovery of the body
and had taken the child out for a walk,
under the pretense of buying it candy.
Dadarios arrest followed, and after a
brief trial he was convicted of the child's S
murder The details revealed by the evil
dence given at the trial were most revolt
ing. The brute had taken the little fell
low into an unoccupied house and there
committed q fiendish assault upon him.
Then, after strangling the child to death,
he threw the body from the roof of the
house into the alley, where it was sub
sequently found.
All the parties involved were Italians.
Dadario was unable to speak word of
English and was apparently not of suffi-
cient intelligence to realize the enormity
of his terrible crime At the trial. he en-
tered general denial of his guilt.
