VIEWS OF AN HONEST SILVER MAN.
Insurance Adjuster From Colorado Talks Of
Politics in That State.

+. ii. Rhoads, special agent and ad-
juster Of the Continental Insurance
company, OF New York, with head
quarters in Denver, was in town in
the forepart of the week attending
to the local interests of his company.
Mr.. Rhoads travels extensively in
the western states making periodical
visits to New Mexico, Idaho, Utah,
Montana and Of course spends a
great deal of his time In Colorado.
He Is a close observer OF public af-
fairs and is particularly well inform
ed regarding political and industrial
conditions In those states which he
Is required to visit in the execution of
his duties as agent for one of the
largest insurance companies in the
country. He speaks very encourag.
ingly of the outlook in the agricul-
tural district of Wyoming, justnorth
of the Colorado line and says it is
one OF the most fertile and produc-
tive StCtlOHs III tut Wcst.
Mr.. RhOads Is a Republican and
believes that Mckinley has an excel
lent chance of carrying Colorado this
fall, althouh the state gave Bryan a
majority OF 100000 in 1896. Coming
from the largest silver-producing
state in the country, his views up
on the paramount issue" Of four
years ago may be accepted as a CON-
nonsense statement of a proposition
of so much Importance to one Of the
leading industries OF the west. "We
feel this way" said he, anent this
topic. "Of course there is no mater
ial change among the silver people OF
the west, but 4 we are right on the
silver issues 1t will work out its own
salvation sooner or later. The peo-
pie are not deliberately going to
abandon one-half OF the money of
the world, and We have got to look
to the eastern capitalists for the de-
velopment OF our resources. Give the
eastern capitalist a chance. / be-
lieve that II Bryan we e elected to
day it would keep millions OF dollars
out OF Colorado, Wyoming and
Montana that will come out here in
the next ten years for railroad build
ing and the development of the min
ing interests Of those states"
Speaking OF mining in Colorado
Mr.. Rhoads, said: 1.-THE producing
area of Cripple Creek is about five
miles square and the output will
average $2,0OO,0 900 per month and we
practically have done no deep mining
in the district. There are not
half a dozen shafts down to a great
er depth than 1000 feet. A large per-
centage OF the producing mines are
less than 500 feet deep. Gold 10 prin-
cipally produced In these mines and
the ore is reduced by the cyanide pro-
cess. From 80 to 20 per cent OF the
ores are treated by what Is known
as clorination.
"Leadville Ia now in the best con-
dition In the history OF the camp.
The daily output of the mines there
is 5000 tons and fifty per cent of the
owners of the Leadville properties
are mining gold In what was once a
great silver-producing camp"

TROUBLE IN ALASKA,
A Clash Between Miners and Soldiers
Scores of Gold Seekers Arrested.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 3.-The Times
says: The first serious trouble be
tween the military and prospectorS
in the north this year resulted in the
arrest of over 100 of the miners who
went to Topkuk, about 80 miles south
of Nome City.
The clash occurred July II. II was
the result of prolonged claim con
test and case of alleged claim jump
ing. About week previous over 100
miners were forced to quit work
along the beach at Topltuk by SOL
dierS who were landed from the mi
ted States transport Seward. Soldiers
were detailed day and night 10 guard
he cliff from being torn away by the
miners, who were only too eager to
get at the rich pay streak which was
already uncovered for a width of sew
eral hundred feet.
Under the conditions of suspension
Of work the miners were allowed to
work their dumps, which was about
complete. That having been done the
miners held a consultation and deter
mined to defy Uncle Sam and return
to work. The soldiers were all mus
tered out on the beach and with bay
onets fixed attempted to force the
men to leave, but not man stirred.
A parley ensued with the result that
30 or 40 miners submitted to arrest
and were put under guard. Others
quickly tc ok the places Of the arrest
ed ones and were in their turn ar
rested. until the soldiers have now
more than they can attend to.
\ perplcxing problem now is how
to feed ard house the arrested mi
ners. If they are not fed the soldiers
are in danger Of being overpowercd
unless relieved by revenue cutters or
troops. Ten were taken TO Nome on
July 20 and released on bonds.

Raleigh, y. c., Aug. 3.-After one
OF the most bitterly contested cam
paigns ever known in the old North
state the democrats and "white SIi-
premacy' won yesterday by Il ma
Jority of about 10000. This election
diSfranchised the negro and changed
the state Legislature from it's combi-
nation ajority of republicans and
popniists to straight democratic,
practically insuring the defeat Of
Marion Butler for reelection as Uni
ted States senator. The negroes, as
general thing, remained from the
polls.
The election was for state officers,
members OF the Legislature and coun-
~ officers and for an amendment to
the state constitution looking to "a
practical elimination of the negro
from politics, as its adoption disfran-
chises the bulk of the negro vote.
BY far the greatest interest center
ed in the fight over the amendment.
Many negroes voted for the amend
ment. The faculty Cf Livingstone
college at Salisbury, one of the most
prominent negro educational institu-
tions in the south, voted for it. Th4
amendment was opposed by the flu
sion of populists and republicans,
headed by Senators Butler and

A FRIGHTFUL CRASH.
Tons of Iron Drop from the Top of "a

New York, August 3.--Three per
sons were seriously injured and six
others badly cut and bruised yester-
day by the falling of five heavy pieces

All of the injured people were EN-

two floors of the five story building

of the building in course of construc-

weighing over ton, were being

They were being swung around to the

out of the chain. Three of the heavy

When the big boom of he derrick

it over the side of the building. This
piece of iron weighed over ton. 1t

AN ULTIMATUM.
Uncle Sam sends One TO China that Is
of the Firmest Character.


Washington, Aug. Secretary
Hays reply to Ii Hung Chang refus,
ing to delay the advance of American
troops on Pekin has closed the nego-
tiations with China unless the old
yiceroy is able to secure the full ac-
ccptance OF our terms relative to the
foreign ministers, and that at once.
No orders looking to a relaxation of
the preparations for the advance ON
Pekin have gone out from Washing
ton for as the situation is described
by one of the leading officials here,
there will be no bargaining on our
part in advance of the concession bv
the Chinese authorities o: full and
free communication with the foreign
minister's There IS, moreover, Il
note ominously close to actual war
i'll Secretary Hays declaration that
the conduct of the Chinese govern
mcnt is "unfriendly." That kind of
language is extreme in diplomacy,
and il is only narrow step between
it and formal war.
The impression prevails here that
the Chinese government. If il is not
absolutely bereft of power to act in
defiance of the Boxers. will accept
our terms, and some such action is
looked for very soon. Possibly bat
tie will be required to bring the int
perial government 10 the point of ac-
ccptance. though in that case it is
questionable whether the original
conditions would be regarded as still
open to acceptance. If the Chinese
government now accepts. however,
the United States government will be
face TO face with one of the most
delicate diplomatic tasks ever under
taken. 1t must attempt to redeem
its promise to use its good offices in
favor of China, and IN the present
temper of some of the European pow
ers the greatest difficulties NAV he
expected to arise in the prosecution
of the attempt.
1t is the confident expectation of
the officials here, however, that if, the
Chinese government in good faith
meets all OF the iour conditions laid
down by the president in his reply to
the Chinese emperor's appeal for aid,
that a ma jority of the powers now
represented in China will accept that
as IL proper base upon which to cease
present hostilitieS and open negotia-
tions for a settlement. The decision
of the ma jority in such case without
doubt would receive the acquiescence
of the minority, else an interminable
ENHANCEMENT might arise.
1t is not believed at the war de-
partment that an advance has been
made as yet from Tien Tsin. 1t is
explained that the last dispatches in
dicated a great deal of delay in un-
loading the transports. and before
any advance can be made the troops
must have all their equipments and
transportation for them. The indica
tions are that the plans being ma
tured at Tien Tsin contemplate IL
rapid advance when the movement
begins, for it seems to be understood
that there will be carried with the
army "A sufficient quantity of supplies
