DEMOCRATIC TERMS.
Would Have Two Committees
Settle Sixth District
Controversy.

The State Journal has received a copy
of the following letter from Charles M.
Sawyer, chairman of the Democratic
Sixth district congressional committee:
Norton, Kan. May 10, 1900.
Frank Forest, Chairman Peoples Party
Committee, Mankato, Kansas:
Your communication of April 80, was
today submitted to the Democratic exc
cutive committee, and l am directed by
that body to make reply as follows That
we reaffirm and reiterate the declaration
of our platform, favoring direct Iegisla-
ton and while we are equally anxious
that the state and electoral tickets of
the Bryan forces in Kansas may not be
JeOpardiZed by a three cornered fight in
the congressional district" this committee
can not consent to the proposition for the
following reasons:
First-There are twenty-five counties in
this congressional district. and approx
1mately 800 voting precincts The expense
of a canvass and of holding primary cleo
tons in each of these would not be less
than $500 So 900 to each candidate,
which neither our candidate or our com
Inittee can afford
Second-Your letter implies purely per-
sonal controversy as between DR.. Dykes
and Mr.. Scott, which we can not in any
sense recognize as existing.
Third-The plan you propose could but
result in a crucial test of party loyalty
even if both candidates were members
of the same political organization In this
case the whole question would turn upon
the proposition as to whether or not the
Democrats or Populists should have the
nominee. Wrangling. strife, disunion and
resultant evils could be the only out
come. The successful candidate at the
primary could expect only defeat at the
polls, and a primary election would ex--
pose to the Republicans the strength and
weakness of the fusion forces and tend
only to defeat the fusion state, electoral
and legislative tickets.
At the solicitation of Mr.. Scott, who
has at all times been ready and willing
to yield any mere personal interest for
the success Of the principles for which he
stands, the Democratic committee pro-
noses that DR.. Dykes and Mr.. Scott. shall
each place his written withdrawal in the
hands of his committee; that thereupon a
joint meeting of the two committees as
they were elected by the convntions be
called to select a fusion candidate for con-
gress, a majority of the members of the
Joint meeting to govern The nominee to
DR.. Dykes. Mr. Scott or a new mar as
in the wisdom of the meeting. may seem
best for the interests of the reform forces.
These committeeman stand as the regu-
larly elected representatives of their re-
spective party organizations in the sew
eral counties. They are in close touch
with their constituents. and are in a POI
sition to know and understand the will of
the people they represent in this matter.
Tt would seem that all could rely upon
their patriotism and good judgment, and
in this simple and inexpensive way the
matter be satisfactorily adjusted.

TO HUNT FOR GOLD.
A Syndicate Given Huge Concessions
on Siberian Coast.


New York. May 15.-Stimulated by
the discovery of the rich gold deposits
at Cape Nome. Alaska, a syndicate
backed by American and English cap
ital has obtained a concession from the
Russian government to prospect for the
yellow metal on the northeastern coast
Of Siberia opposite the gold-bearing
Alaskan cape ard upon the islands
lying between the Siberian mainland
and the American coast.
AS the deposit OF golden SAND not
only underlies the beach at Cape Nome
but also exists upder the sea ltselI, as
has been determined by dredging, the
men interested in the Russian cOnces-
sion expect to find outcroppings III the
regions opposite the golden coast.
Should they be disappointed in their
hone Of finding valuable mineral de-
posts, the members of the syndicate
which is known as the Venture Corpo-
ration company of London, expects TO
obtain their reward by the development
OF the regions covered by their conces-
sion. The grant made by Russia COW
ers 8 coo square miles Of territory, IN
Guiding 1000 miles Ct coast and extend
ing to the line of the new trans-S1be-
rian railway.
Many applications had been made for
this concession, and it was refused
twenty times before F w Baker, man
aging director of the syndicate, sue
ceeded in obtaining it with the aid OF
an introduction from Lord Rosebery.
Representatives of the syndicate and
of the Russian government arrived IN
this city in the Campania last night on
their way to the Siberian coast. Among
them are George D. Roberts. an Amer
lean. who for fifty years has been inter-
ested in mining and other ventures both
in this country and in Europe. Mr.
Roberts is now u years old. w e
Dowleu, an American mining engineer
who has recently been employed by
English syndicates. is also of the party.
Upon his report and that of Mr.. Rob-
erts the promoters of the plan will de-
pend for their future guidance.
Major Stern, another American, is
going as the representative of London
capitalists, who are said to be ready to
advance 81, 500 600 to push the work if
the reports prove favorable. Mr. Ba-
ker will accompany the party as far as
San Francisco.
on behalf of the Russian government
A. Rogdanovitch, a prominent Russian
engineer, and his WIFE L. Miakott, a
surveyor and DR.. Akitiett, a physician
of high standing. viii accompany the
party. The Russians will go to Wash
ington to confer with the Russian min
lister there before proceeding to San
Francisco.
For the expenses of the first season
Of exploration and prospecting $780, coo
has been set aside. The party at San
Francisco will embark upon the steamer
Samoa, which has been chartered for
the trip, and which will go direct to
Boring sea. Fifty Cossacks will do the
work of investigation under the direc-
ton Of the engineers. A Russian gun
boat will join the Samoa on the coast
and will act as her escort.

CAN'T CATCH GAGE.
He Will Not Be Mixed Up in Chic ago
Labor War.

Washington, May 15.-The attention
of Secretary Gage was today called to
a dispatch from Chicago to the effect
that non-union men would be employed
on the Chicago postoffice building and
that the government would be depended
upon to protect them. The secretary
said that the government had a contract
with John A. Pierce for the construc-
