To Re Held at Aberdeen,

Mitchell, April lG.-Thc democratic
state central committee met here last
evening TO select a place for holding
the state convention. About twenty
five counties were represented. Aber-
deem was selected as the place to hold
the state convention, on June 81, at the
same time as the populist convention.
\ resolution was introduced by Har-
ben Of Scotland that an honest effort
he made to cooperate with the allied
silver forces for the election Of state
officers this fall, and that an effort be
made to secure n good representation
Of democrats on the state ticket, but
in the event that they were unable to
do so the democrats would put up a
state ticket Of their own.
The resolution was adopted unan-
imously and while there seemed to be
u spirit for fusion the committee did
not propose TO be placed in the rear.
Messrs. Temple, Hughes and Barrett
presented resolutions on Cuban mat
for not acting more promptly, which
were adopted.
A number of free silver republicans
met here last evening and issued n call
for u convention to meet at Aberdeen
June %, in conjunction with the dem
ocrats and populists. They are anx-
ious to cooperate with these forces
to defeat the common enemy. Messrs.
Cherry of Sioux Falls, Richards of HUI
ron, Lafollette of Chamberlain and
Baumgartner of Armour were among
the most prominent present.

ENGLANO,S IMPORTANT ACTION.
She Has Decided That Coal Is n
Contraband of

Washington, April 19.-Senators of
all shades of opinion on the Cuban
question regard as very important the
announcement that Great Britain has
decided to treat coal as Il contraband OF
wal in her West Indian possessions in
case of wal between this country and
Spain. While the decision is apparent
" impartial the senators say the effect
necessarily will be entirely in the in.
terest of the United States because OF
the fact that this country is so near
where the seat of war will be, therefore
will not be compelled to ask favors Of
other nations while Spain will have
only her store at Puerto
Rico to draw upon. She has been maxi
ing all the purchases she could, but
the stock is necessarily slender and
the senator's generally think that one
of our first acts in the ease of war will
be upon Puerto Rico. They expect
that the point will be captured early
in the war and think this capture will
have the effect Of soon terminating
hostilities. With England treating
coal as a contraband, even conserva
tive senator's think it will be impossi.
BILE for Spain to long maintain a con
fict in waters so far removed from he,
base of supplies.

THE FLEET TO WAIT FOR THE ARMY
A Change in Naval PIans Whi i'oi-
low Mobilization OF
TrpoDS.

Key West, Fla, April 19.-Mobilizing
troops in the southern coast towns has,
in the opinion of naval officers, COM
pletely changed the situation here. For
the last two weeks the fleets have been
in daily expectation of orders TO make
n demonstration against Havana, with
the prospect of immediate lombard
ment. Cooperation of the land forces
was not contemplated in their plan OF
attack. The navy is prepared and anN-
ious to take the initiative and bear the
brunt of the first savage blow.
1t is the general belief that the orig
inal plan will nov be abandoned and
one %embodying the cooperation of the
army will be devised. This means no
prospect of the fleets moving for at
least a week. Meanwhile there may be
4 change in thu disposition of the war
ships. This will give time to transfer
the New York to the flying squadron
and replace her with the Massachusetts
which is regarded as a wise move

Maine is again 20 enter the list oi
copper mining states. The deposits,
which are numerous and valuable,
were worked more than twenty-five
years ago, but a sudden and great dc
cline in the price of copper made them
Improbable; improved and cheapened
method of production is the cause OF
resumption of work. Copper is a metal
with which the market is never over
stocked; although consumption III
creases rapidly from year TO year, q
good copper mine is more valuable
than a gold mine.
