How to Amalgamate . Plate.

To amalgamate a new copper plate,
many miners first rub it with extremely
fine brick dust, or very finely sifted wood
ashes, then rubbing it briskly with a
woolen rag dipped In dilute nitric acid
one part acid, nine parts water-until
thoroughly polished, then repeatedly
washed in clear water. A solution ol
cyanide Of potassium may then be ap.
piled, after which prepared quicksilve.. !.
is put on until the entire surface Of tn
plate is thoroughly coated and is bright,
soft and sensitive to the touch.

Cook County Politics
Special to the Record.

Special to the Record.
Chicago, ILL.,, March 29.-2oi
ticiaus of both parties are await
ing with keen interest, news of
the proceedings Of the democrat
ic state central com mittee in SEES
sion today. The purpose Of the
meeting is to issue Call for the
state convention, but interest in
this feature of the gathering is
lost sight of in the general ex-
pectation that the meeting will
bring to the surface another
clash between the opposing for
ces in the factional flight in Cook
county. The faction in the state
committee led by Chairman John
P. Hopkins had declared it's in
tention of submitting to the COM
mittee a call for the forthcoming
Cook County primaries and ask
ing that it be issued. This will
carry with it the naming of judg-
es and clerks and consequent
control of the primary machinery.
In this manner the tight between
the Tildenites and the Burke
Harrison supporters doubtless
will be drawn into the courts.
Some compromise may be eff
fected. but the Harrison men
consider they hold the whip hand
feeling confident a legal decision
on the point of issue would sup
port their contention that the
state com mite is YES ted with the
power to issue the county call.
The effect of such court finding
would be equally binding on the
republicans.

CHRISTMAS STORY
WILL Be IGNORED
State Department Ask Den
mark About the Bri-
berry Case.

Washington, March 29.-The
state department will take no
steps to bring the attention of
the Danish government to the
charges against the integrity OF
the American statesmen pre-
ferred by Captain Christmas and
yesterday brought to the atten-
tion of the house of representa-
tives. The department regards
the charges as unworthy Of its
attention by reason of ms efficient
evidence and obvious error in
statements of alleged facts. The
department is perfectly aware
also that the Danish government
does not intend to pay one cent
of the 100000 claimed by Christ
mas as his commission, so that,
of course, none of that money
could be used to corrupt Ameri-
can statesmen and newspapers.
Copenhagen, Denmark, March
29.-The Christmas scandal is
not discussed here nor are the
facts in the case pu blished in Co.
penhagen, although full account
of Congressman Richardson
statements in congress was tele
graphed to the semi official news
agency in this city. Denmark,
however, has heard from both
Captain Walter Christmas and
Niels Gron, who also has claimed
to have acted as Danish agent
in negotiating the sale of the
islands. The men claimed a com
mission, but the government has
refused to recognize either of
them, declaring that neither was
ever connected with the negotia
tions in the slightest degree.
