j. Walter Smith Evident Choice of
Democrats for Governor.
BALTIMORE, July 31.-Democratic pri-
maries to select delegates to the state
convention which meets in this city on
Wednesday next to nominate candidates
for governor, comptroller and attorney
general were held in this city today. The
only contestants in the primaries for
state officers are ]. Walter Smith, Of
Worcester, who was recently elected to
congress in the First district and Edward
Warfield, president of the Fidelity De-
post company. The vote was cast for the
candidates direct, the ward delegates to
be named by the victor. AT midnight in
dications are that Smith has carried the
city and will be the nominee for governor,
although Warfield has made a surprising
ly strong fight and may yet win the prize.
1t is generally conceded, however, that
Smith has enough votes in the counties
to insure his success if he carries half the
city, while Warf1eld has a comparatively
small following outside of Baltimore city,
and Howard and Montgomery counties.

SHELTER STRIKE REPORT.

Board of Arbitration of Colorado
Passes Upon Disputed Points.
DENVER, July 31-The board of arr
bitration today filed its report upon tha
investigation of the smelter strike. The
decision it reached is a compromise be-
tween the demands Of the smelter men
and the officers of the American SmeIt-
ing and Refining company, commonly
known as the trust. The board has fixed
a wage schedule on the basis of an
eight-hour day for the inside men and a
ten-hour day for the yard men. The
wages recommended average about 10
per cent higher than those offered by
the smelter managers. The question OF
union or non-union labor is ignored. and
this point is now the only obstacle in
the way of immediate reopening of the
shelters.

cANADA,s GREATEST GLORY.
Vast and Ancient Wilderness That Rests
 the Traveller.

The greatest glory of Canada is not its modern progress, but it's vast and ancient wilderness, says Scribner's. If you weary of the sameness and uf rolf .tableness of everything you know, go where I went last year, to the upper waters of the Ottawa, where the beaver is the master architect and the moose is king of the woods. See for yourself, as I saw, that the Ottawa and the Ga tineau, appearing to come from widely distant regions, have their origin close together and are twins. Behold these two children Of the lakes, nourished from the same generous breast. Trace their courses and see that, though journeying far in widely different di- reetiohs, they finally arrive at con- mon destination. Nobody knows all about that headwater country around the sources of the Ottawa. It is prolific game region, where sportsmen rarely go, for the simple reason that they can get all the hunting they want nearer to the railroad. There are plenty Of deer close to almost any Can. a4an Pacific station west of Penn  broke, and 1t is not much trouble to get chance at a moose in two days from Deux Rivieres, Rockcliffe, or Mattawa. Not many hunting parties start from there, either, and I suppose the reason is that for thousands of miles to the west the woods, prairies and mountains lie close to the railroad and afford almost limitless opportuni- ties. The territory inclosed by the Ottawa and the Gatineau has been from immemorial times the home of the Algonquin Indians, and they still remain there, in such primitive inno- eenee that they receive no annuity from the Dominion government. In this they are unlike the Indians of the United States Or their brother tribes of Canada,

LAKE IN AFRICAN MOUNTAIN.

Explorer Circumnavigates the Entire
 Sheet of Water.
 At a meeting of the Royal Geograph-
 zcal society in London an interesting zreport by Poulett Weatherley on Lake EBangweulu, in central Africa, was
 ead. The explorer circumnavigated
 Rre entire sheet of water. His party #reached the lake in August, 1896, and *establlshed a camp at the southeast |sefn corner, 3,765 feet above sea level. #The shores of the lake are absolutely |free from shells and the water has no zdepth. He sounded in many places, #but never found more than fifteen feet. H1ts surface was usually still, very zsfrong wind raising the smallest sea.
 t appears to be nothing but a flooded Sdlstrict. MT. Weatherley thinks it was ..zIormed by the water from the great
 Watershed of the Tanganyika plateau. ssFhe overflow is checked to the west and southwest by rim of rock, but the east and southeast has no such #parrler, and in that direction there is a vast swamp from twenty to forty zm1les in breadth. The Liposochi and ;SsEaeIss to the north and the Chambeze
 1o the east are the chief contributors zfo the water supply. With twenty-five men he explored the island of Mba- Waia, about twenty miles iong and
 d,U'l00 yards from the shore, and pro- #eee6d toward the outlet of the Luea- #pula, ultimately landing at Kirui isl- zand. After stay If some time on the z1sland, which they found low, beauti- zfully wooded, well peopled. and culti- zyated, they passed on to Kisi island. This they found not a bit like the #asland depicted on the maps. It pre- Hsented 8 most peaceful, prosperous ssight, and in common with the other two islands, Kirui and M'bawala, il sreared good number of sheep-the sbroad-tailed kind-and goats. The #9eople appeared to live life of con- #pIete peace and eontentment. Proceed Hlng in northerly direction, the party zTeached the extreme north-northwest @eorner of the lake. Continuing their S1ouney along the coast, they diseov- #ered a narrow peninsula stretching znorth and south, having on the west Sa sheet of water about three miles in zwidth, which extends the whole length #of Bangweulu north and south, but is #always separated from the lake by the =1sthmus.. There was cotton every sWhere, But not in large quantity, and zthe bark-cloth tree abounded.-NeW
