over 100 miles and have sold it to the
steamers owned by the two big companies.

there are now about six hundred miners

FAIRFAX COURT HOUSE, Va, October
6.-The regular republican convention of
Fairfax county met here yesterday and
nominated Major o. E. Hine for the house
of delegates. Major Hine. in brief speech,
accepted the nomination.
The following was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we, the republicans of
Fairfax county. in convention assembled,
indorse the action of the state committee
in deciding not to call state convention,
recognizing the fact that it is useless to
place a ticket in the field while the pres
ent unfair and dishonest election laws ex-
republicans in this county in placing them
stituted authorities, and we desire to ex-
press our confidence in the state committee
headed by Park Agnew, and we tender our
loyal support thereto, believing that the
best interests of the republican party
throughout the state will be served there
by. We pledge our earnest support of the
nomination of this county convention"
Ply vote the county chairman was in
sJructed to communicate with the several
district charmen. urging immediate organ
ization for the campaign, which promises
to be a vigorous one. Major Hine is prob
ably the strongest man that could be nomi-
mated.

today, the Mudd and Coffin factions being
well represented. The meeting was ar
ranged by members of the factions in or
der to settle the differences existing and to
settle upon candidates for the county Of
fees and the legislature before the election
next month. Representative Mudd was
very much in evidence about the little
groups Of politicians who congregated in
the hotel corridor. Although the confer
ence will not be held until o'clock, the
Mudd people are very confident that the
rank and file of the Coffin faction Will agree
to reasonable terms
TIE troubles the Mud people think will
be adjusted, although they seem confident
that Messrs. Coffin and F. Snowden Hill
will hold out against a compromise of any
kind.
The younger men of the Coffin fac
tion," remarked a Mudd follower to a Star
reporter, ARE willing to do the fair thing
to insure success at the polls in November,
put the older men, who are looking ahead
OF this election. will oppose anything other
than complete surrender"
Representatives of the Coffin faction ar
ranged for conference with Postmaster
General Gary at 3 o'clock this afternoon
ana II was thought that Mr.. Mudd would
also be present Chairman Scott of the
state central committee also arranged to
be present.
Just what this conference is expected to
accomplish the Mudd men are at loss 20
understand, fer they certainly do not reeor
nlze the Postmaster General rs an au-
thority to settle disputes IN the ranks of
the party. 1t is stated that the regulars
or Mudd faction will concede the Coffin fac
ton state senator, sheriff, surveyor, two
members of the legislature and two mem
Ders or the state central committee while
they will take three members of the house
OF delegates. county clerk, county commits
sioner and two members of the state CEN
trail committee.

were in attendance at the conferences in

FAST NAIL FROM NEW YORK
Ii Will Arrive Every Morning Mt

Beginning next Sunday morning a fast
mall train will be run over the PennsyI-
vania railroad every day from New York
10 Washington, scheduled to leave New
YORK at 2:10 am and arrive in Washing
ton at I:io. This service is due to the
large increase of business between the two
cities and to the efforts of Assistant Post
master General Shallenberger by whom
the negotiations have just been concluded
This will enable the publishers of all the
leading dailies in New York to place their
papers on sale here several hours earlier
than heretofore and to make direct connec-
tons with the west and south atSthis
point.
1t is also expected TO be of immense bene-
fit TO the public generally in New York, as
all the midnight collections, which are now
extremely heavy and have heretofore had
to wait for the 4::O train out of there can
now be forwarded on this earlier train and
mails for the south and west given quicker
dispatch. The new train incidentally will
take the place of the special Sunday train
operated by three large New York papers
and its service, instead of being restricted
10 certain papers, will be open to all mails
and broadened into daily service There
has been a large demand for this early
mall and the postal officials expect great
results from the expedition secured.
