Questionable Prospectus.

Without hesitation | will say that the
miners, to whom am deeply indebted, will
have my unremitting labor in their behalf
There is not another class Of people in the
State SO deserving of good legislation. A
mine inspector? Forsooth, The utmost
pressure will be used to alter that part of the
mining law. We will use our best endeavor
to make all mining bills constitutional
lion. James CanpbeH.
Mr.. Campbell does not seem to be
aware that no matter how observing"
the people to whom he is deeply in
debted," the State owes no class any
special legislation.
Hence, it will be difficult to do any
thing superficial for the miners and
keep their "bills constitutional"
But there is one relief Mr.. Campbell
can effect for the miners whose con-
stitutionaity is unquestionable. He
can have them exempted from pay
ing the expenses of Cumberland city
elections. For this he has high war
rant in the old revolutionary slogan
taxation without representation is
tyranny"
This will be far better than an Act
which proposes to put man in office
whose only duty will be to execute a
consumption process every court upon
miners here and there to undergo the
terrors of crOss-eXamination on the
witness stand.
By the way, the JOURNAL called the
attention of Mr.. Campbell and his del
egation to this constitutional matter
two years ago, but in their zeal to pass
unconstitutional bills. no attention
was paid to it.
Meanwhile, over 5000 of the miners
money Is in, instead of out of Cum
berland pockets.
This is the Place.
To Messrs. Dick, Campbell, Rowe
and Leake:
In your zeal for mining legislation,
do not overlook the welfare of the coal
region in other respects.
If you succeed in getting the Normal
School project through, why not at
the same time have i, located here in
Frostburg?
In the way of sanitation every argu-
ment is in favor of Frostburg in Cum
berland everything against it.
In other respects, remember that
Cumberland is carrying an overload
of county favors, many of which 1t
does not deserve, and none of which
it appreciates as a benefaction con-
ferred and kept up by the money of
your constituents.
Gentlemen, once again, you 0re this
debt to yo''r constituents. Pay it and thus
erect a monument to your Legislative
memory that will outlast all the mine
inspectorships that you can lay at the
feet of Piney Ridge.
The Better Step.
Gov. Lowndes' withdrawal from .he
Senatorial contest was conceived and
announced evidently with full regard
for both public and personal interests.
His reasons, sound to the core, are
stated i'll phrases so patriotic that he

Dewey Gables That tho First Expedition
Has Arr we'd Safely.
WASHINGTON, July GA cablegram
from Admiral Dewey was received at
the navy department shortly after 8
o'clock a. M, announcing the safe ar.
rival of the first feet of transports.
The message is in the navy cipher and
has not yet been completely translated
but it is stated by the cipher officer that
it is confirmatory of the Associa, ed
Press dispatch announcing that the
Iadrone islands had been occupied by
American troops from the transports.
Admiral Dewey also states that the
gunboat Leyte, which ran up q river on
May l, the day of the battle, has come
out and surrendered, having on board
81 army and navy officers and ~ men.
The Leyte has battery of one 8114.inch
Hontoria gun and several O.7-inch
rapid fire guns. The dispatch does not
give the date of the surrender of the
vessel. The admiral says that the sit
uation at Manila is satisfactory, that
the troops are debarking and that the:
health Of the men is excellent.

VERY HEAVY LOSS.

Seventeen Hundred Casualties Among
Americans In Two Days Fighting.
BEFORE SANTIAGO. July =, via Kings.
ton, July 6.-The fighting during the
last two days has cost the American
army l,70O men. This estimate is
made by the surgeons at division head.
quarters after careful figuring by the
surgeons at the hospital. The list of
wounded as made up at the division
headquarters is very large in proper.
ton to the list of those killed outright.
Probably less than 100 all told of the
number Of wounded have died, making
the total number Of deaths in the neigh.
borhood of 100. The remainder Of the
Wounded VII, Probably Recover.
Considering the fact that not over H..
900 men were engaged on our side, aud
not all of these were actually under
fire. the percentage of loss is very
heavy. The slaughter was brought
about mainly by the gallantry with
which our troops advanced into the
open ground in the face of heavy IRE
from the Spanish intrenchments and
rifle pits Our men generally had an
opinion that the Spanish could not
shoot. and, it must be confessed.
thought they could not fight Both
impressions were erroneous, particu.
larly the latter.
