They Are Severe in Their Denuncia-
ton of Trusts.
Trenton, N. T., May S1.-There were over
a thousand delegates present at the Dem
ocratic State Convention to-day, to elect
delegates to the National Convention.
The platform adopted, says, in part:
1--WE denounce the Republican party
in its open effort to foster trusts in the
great industrial trades, at the expense of
the interests of the whole people, and
especially of the laboring man.
eve demand more stringent legislation,
both state and national, including a con-
sttutional amendment If necessary, to reg
ulate and correct their evil tendencies. We
declare for rigid inspection of their books
by proper state and national officers. For
infractions of the law, we demand that
their charters be revoked. We favor
the removal of protective duty from all
products which are found to enter into
competition with the output of these I'M
lawful combinations.
I'VE are unalterably opposed to impe-
raism. All insidious attacks upon consti-
tutional liberty must be unhesitatingly
checked, if we are to perpetuate the glory
of this government for the benefit of pos
terity We are for the republic and
against the empire"

tory report as to how this money was
used.
The War Emergency Fund.
Mr.. Jones then called attention 90 the
$4,000, 900 war emergency fund appropriate
ed at the outset of the Spanish War. Ad-
hitting utmost confidence in the Presi-
dents integrity, he thought a statement
of the disbursements of that fund should
be made.
II believe" said Mr. Jones, that such
a statement ought 90 be made as would
set at rest slanderous rumors and stories
that are afioat, If they can be set at
rest l hope there is not word OF
truth in them, but 1t Is due the people to
know how this s5OO0OO 900 was expended"
Mr.. Burrows of Michigan presented
several documents, giving the amounts al
lotted by the President out Of the $4,000
900 emergency fund to the several de-
partments.
Mr.. Lodge of Massachusetts, said that
every vessel purchased by the navy de-
partment had been passed upon and ap-
praised by board of naval officers before
the purchase was made.
Mr.. Daniel of Virginia offered an amend
ment appropriating $780, 900 for beginning
the work on the proposed Memorial bridge
across the Potomac river extending from
the naval observatory to the Arlington es-
tate.
Mr.. Carter of Montana, Mr. HawIey Of
Connecticut, Mr.. Hoar of Massachusetts
and Mr.. Allison of Iowa objected while
Mr.. Mcmillan Of Michigan and Mr.. Martin
of Virginia spoke in support of the amend
ment, which was finally adopted.
The ST. Louis Exposition.
The bill then was reported to the SEN
ate and the amendments were agreed to-.
with the exception OF that relating 10 the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition, to be held
in st. Louis in 1903.
Mr.. Daniel of Virginia then offered the
original committee amendment respect
ing the settlement of the claims of New
York. Pennsylvania, Delaware, Virginia
and South Carolina, and 1t was agreed t.
without division.
Mr.. Aldrich Of Rhode Island proposed
two amendments to the exposition propo-
sition. providing that appropriations
should be disbursed under conditions here
after TO be prescribed by Congress-" and
requiring chat all expenditures therefor,
except for its own buildings and exhibits
and their care, shall be deducted from
any general appropriation made for said
exposition"
These amendments were accepted and
agreed to by the Senate.
Mr.. Morgan of Alabama moved to re-
duee the amount to be appropriated by
Congress from 100000 to $4,000. Re

The committee amendment was then
agreed to and, as amended, the bill was

SOUTHERN FREIGHT RATES.
New Classification is Unsatisfa Glory
40 Shippers.

TO shippers.
New York. May 31.-The new Southern
freight classification will go into effect
tomorrow superseding the classification
made last winter, and which went into
effect Feb. /. The latter classification was
made in uniformity with those made by
the roads in trunk line and Western terri
tory. and by which a large number Of
goods we're raised from a lower to a
higher grade, thus increasing freight rates
considerably over what they had been be-
fore.
AT that time protests were entered
against these changes on the ground that
they widened the differences in rates al
ready existing in favor of the large ship
pers, as against smaller ones. AS a result
the trunk lines issued an amended CLASH
fication, which remedied, to some extent,
the causes of the complaint. The South
ern Classification Committee held a meet
ing to consider these protests but the re-
suit was not acceptable to the shippers,
as there was no general modification made
before the classification of Feb. / remain-
Ing in effect without any material changes
The new classification, which is to go
into effect Tomorrow Is still less salts
factory to the shippers than the one
which 1t is to replace.

AMADOR COUNTY.
Good Hope-Jackson.

Last Sunday, just after midnight, an
attempt was to have been made to jump
the Good Hope mine. 1t had been sup
posed that the assessment work for
1899 had been performed, when Judge
Davis, who has lately become inter-
ested in the mine, returned from San
Francisco Saturday night he gave Or
ders that the company resume work
upon the mine beginning at $3.50 p. m,
Sunday, and continue assessment work
until full 800 worth of work should
have been completed in 1900. This
was done as matter of precaution.
Just before the shift began work it de-
veloped that parties who had gained
considerable notoriety in this commun-
ity, by certain kinds of mining opera
tions had made elaborate plans to jump
the mine just after midnight. Their
''gun fighter" had been picked out but
was of the class of men who talk too
much" so the plan miscarried.
Judge Davis is entitled to the thanks
of the mining community for defeating
the scheme of the would-be jumpers.

San Andreas Prospect Some very
rich rock was struck last week in drift
ing north on the 300-foot level of the
Commodore mine, which is situated
about one mile west of San Andreas.
The rock is of an excellent character
and will go between So and Sc to the
ton. Mr.. Clary, the superintendent,
informs us that he has already twelve
feet of this rock, but the full width of
the vein has not yet been determined.
Twelve men are employed at the mine.
work is going ahead in an active and
systematic manner; the present outlook
for this property is very good.
San Andreas Prospect: The Golden
Eagle mine, situated near Lloyd's
ranch, is thought by many who are
familiar with its. history to be one of
the best outside mines in the Sheep
Ranch section. Years ago the rock
was worked from it and was rich
enough to pay all expense of sinking.
The ground was somewhat of loose
nature, requiring much timbering and
extra expense when considerable depth
was made. Lack of capital on the part
of the owners was the only reason that
caused suspension. 1t is hoped that
this property will be reopened in the
near future.
