THE CHICAGO PLATFORM IN TOTO,
Senator Jones Declares His Belief That it Will
Thus be Reaffirmed.
(By the Associated Press.l

Kansas City Mo-. June Ex-senator
Jones, of Arkansas, chairman Of :he Dem
ocratic National Committee. arrived in
Kansas City tonight and in brief inter
view stated that he did not think Il speci-
fic 16 to 1 silver declaration was ncces-
sary if the Chicago platform was adopt
ed
He was asked the direct question is a
specific declaration would be made if the
Chicago platform was adopted and re-
piled with a question: Would not the
reaffirmation of the Chicago platform be
a declaration in favor of Is to /? l think
it would.
He then added with deliberation:
81 don't think anything will be adopted
by this convention that will be a devia-
tion so much as the breadth of a hair
from the principles laid down IN the Chi
cagO platform reaffirmation of the
platform will mean the adoption of every
word and letter in it, including the 16 TO l
declaration. l do not believe that a reit-
Grafton of that plank or any other is
necessary to make plain our position. If
it is necessary to reState the Is to l pro
vision it would be equally necessary to
re-state that relating to Government by
injunction the income tax and every
other provision If the convention adopts
the Chicago platform it will mean that
every syllable isl endorsed. l do not
know just what form the endorsement will
take, but it will mean everything it says. y
When asked concerning the Vice Presi-
dency he replied that he dill not know
who would be nominated and had no init
nation as to the favorite.

AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE POWERS.
Spheres of Influence, Commercial Conventions,
Troops in China.
(By the Associated Press.


Paris. June ga representative of the
Associated Press was informed today
that, as a result of negotiations between
the powers, an agreement has been ar
rived at which provides for the mainten-
ance of the statu quo, as regards spheres
of influence and commercial agreements
and also respecting the nature of the
guarantees and compensations which will
be demanded from China.
According to the understanding the
international army of occupation will con-
sist of $4,000 men. Russia and Japan will
provide $4,000 each, Great Britain will
provide 10000 men.\ France 5000 and
Germany, America and the other powers
5000 each.
The Russian army corps in Siberia,
which has just been modified, will only
cross the Chinese frontier in the event
of the crisis being aggravated.
OUR CABINET WON'T RATIFY 1T.
Washington, June 29.-The State De-
partment also has been made acquainted
with the terms of the agreement between
the consuls and the viceroys looking to
the protection of foreign interests in the
Southern provinces in China The first
step to this end was indicated in SecrC~
tary Hays cablegram of last Wednesday
to the American Consuls in China author
izng them 70 take direct action instead of
waiting on possible communication with
Minister Conger. Thus authorized, Con-
sui General Goodnow at Shanghai ard
probably several others in the South be-
ban negotiations with the Viceroys and
Tactais of the respective districts. The
outcome was the nine articles of agree
ment. The text is withheld from publica-
tion, but it is understood that it's general
purpose is to make neutral the Chinese
treaty ports at Nankn and Hankow.
The naturalization would involve the
withdrawal of foreign men-ofwar from
the treaty ports, and also of any foreign
troops or sailors, leaving to the Chinese
authorities and the residents of Shanghai
and the other ports the preservation of
order.
The agreement came before the Cabinet
today and failed of ratification in the be-
lief that the foreign consuls, as a body
never entered into the agreement. In ad
dition to the subjects above mentioned as
forming part of the agreement, it appears
that the conSuls bound themselves to
acquit the Chinese Government of any re-
sponsibility for lioting murder and pill
lage in the treaty ports of any foreign
warship should enter such port in viola
ton of the agreement. The whole re-
puted agreement bore the appearance
Of a rough memorandum which the Cabi-
net concluded could never have received
the assent of all of the foreign consuls.

THE OREGON ASHORE

Went Ashore in Fog OFF Hoo Kie Island. One

Sent.
(By the Associated Press.)

Shanghai, June 29.-It is reported here
that the United States battleship Oregon
is ashore on the Island of Hoo Kie, in
the Mao Tao group, fifty miles north of
Che Foo, and that a steamer of the Indo-
China Steam Navigation Company has
gone to her assistance.
WASHINGTON HEARS NOTHING.
Washington, June 29.-Up to midnight
tonight no official news had been re-
ceived in Washington, bearing on the re-
port that the battleship Oregon had gone
ashore near Che Foo.
Early last week Admiral Remey was
directed to send this vessel from Hong
Kong to Taku Captain Wilde is her COM
mander. She left Hong Kong last Satur
day night two days ahead of her ex-
pected departure, and had on board in
addition to her regular crew 164 sailors
and marines, brought to Hong Kong from
Manila by the Zafiro. The distance she
had to travel was about 1,500 miles and
the calculation of the naval officials here
was that if the vessel made record time,
she would be at Taku in six days. To-
day is the sixth day the Oregon has been
on her voyage, so that in all probability
she must be in the vicinity of Che Foo II
she maintained her reputation as fast
battleship.

Finally that was adjusted by accepting

PROFESSOR &. L. HEWETl RETURNS
He Reports Serious Washouts on the Road
to Buckman's Mill.

President E. l.. Hewett, of the Nor
NAL university at Las Vegas, and wife,
arrived in the city this morning to at
tend the meeting at the court house this
evening for organizing class In pre-
historic archaeology. The professor
has been camping out with party of
friends near Buckman, about eight
miles flom Buckman's mill and six miles
from the station and drove overland to
Santa Fe.
The professor reports that on last
Thursday night there was cloudburst
that resulted in a washout of the road be-
tween the mill and the station and rem
dered it impossible. The washout Is
about half way between the two points
near the large hill and the road is torn
up for about three miles and a bridge is
gone. The road is q private one built
and owned by Mr.. Buckman for the pur-
pose of hauling between the station and
The mill.
Professor Hewett and his party had
intended to 60 around by the north to
southern Colorado and return by that
direction, but owing to the washout was
forced to come overland to Espanola,
whence he drove on into Santa Fe. Thus
the meeting tonight at the court house
to organize university extension class,
secures his presence to aid in its work.
On the way, in finding the road washed
out in Alamo canon, Professor Hewett
was compelled to take to the old govern
ment road built over fifty years ago over
the mountains. This Is still an excellent
trail, and with q little work 1t could be
made the best in this section, which
speaks we'll indeed for the work of the
government exploring parties that built
1t so long ago.
Professor Hewett will be at the meet
ing tonight, and the persons In charge
hope for large attendance.

A new MILL FOR BLAND
Manager W. O. Wynkoop Has Purchased
the Machinery Which Will Be Strictly
Modern in Every Respect.
A new CYANIDE PROCESS EMPLOYED

VIC. Wynkoop, general manager OF
the Cochiti Reduction & Improvement
company, whose new reduction plant at
Woodbury., six miles down Pine canon
from Bland, was struck by lightning
and burned some weeks ago, left Santa
Fe for Woodbury. this afternoon to take
personal charge of the work of rebuild
ing the mill of his company at that
point. While recently In Denver, Mr..
Wynkoop purchased complete equip
ment of new and strictly up-to date
machinery, engaged force Of skilled
mechanics to do thS construction work,
and this morning, made the cheering
announcement to New Mexican repre-
sentative that he confidently expected
to have the new mill in active operation
by the coming Christmas.
The debris OF the old mill has already
been cleared away and it has been found
that the old foundations can be utilized
in the new construction work. The
new building will be much larger and
more substantial than the one destroyed.
1t will consist of main building $50
feet long and 50 feet wide with two
wings. The old building was ITO feet
long and SO feet wide without wings.
The plant will have a reduction capacity
of at least 100 tons of ore per day.
The cyanide process, with all the latest
improvements, including the use Of COM
pressed air for constantly agitating the
pulp in the vats, will be employed, and
Mr.. Wynkoops exhaustive experiments
In Denver on Iron King and other
Cochiti ores prove that by this improved
method he will be able to save as high
as "a per cent of the values, whereas the
old-fashioned cyanide process only res
cues about 60 or 65 per cont OF the values
This will enable him profitably to handle
lower grade ores than have ever before
been treated in the district and will un-
doubtedly result in the active operation
Of many Cochiti mines that are now idle.
Mr.. Wynkoop's company owns the
Iron King, the discovery OF which in
itiated the Cochiti mining boom, and has
secured options on several other promis-
ing Cochiti properties. The Iron King
Is nquestionably an extension of the
famous Lone Star ledge that produced a
good many tons of high grade ore sew
eral years ago, but owing to the mis-
of former operators the
main lead was temporarily lost. Recent
development work has corrected the er-
rors of the past, and demonstrated the
presence of very large bodies of excellent
ore in the property. Mr.. Wynkoopis an
mining engineer and
metallurgist, has made study
Of the Cochiti mines and ores for years,
and hence his unqualified declaration
that the district has great future de-
serves to be given much more than ordi
nary weight. He says that several more
show surface indications that
promise splendid results In the near
future.
