Special Election.

The Silver Plume Standard says that
the board OF trustees held special ses-
sion Monday evening to consider what
was best to be done in view of the nre-
dicament existing on account Of the town
not having an election on the dav nre-
scribed by law.
Attorney General Post had been an
pealed to, but replied that it was not the
duty OF his office to furnish information
upon that subject. He however, referred
the board TO the provision of the statutes
authorizing special elections in cases
where town officials are not elected at the
regular annual election, and the board
therefore decided to call a special election
for April 18th, that date being about as
soon as special election could be held
and give the notice required by law.

CENTRAL CITY WINS.
Idaho Springs Lodge A. O. U. W. Beaten
and will Have to pay for the Oysters.

For the past go days Central lodge No.
16, and Idaho Springs lodge, Ancient
Order United Workmen, have been wag-
ing contest as to which lodge could
secure the largest number Of new mem
bers before April Is, the loosing lodge to
pay for an oyster supper to be given in
tho victor's city. Tho contest has been
fierce one, and both lodges have done
excellently, but Central City had the
best hustlers and during the so days put
through 1875 new members. Their
brothers over the divide also did good
work but their score was only 13S new
members.
1t has proven a great benefit to the
order, and especially in these two cities.
We understand the average age of the
new members will be about 20 years, il
not better. Not only is this q great
thing for the order, but also for the
citizens Of the county, as the more that
join this great protective order the bet
ter is the condition OF the world at large
but more especially the helpless widow
and her children.
The date o; the supper has not yet
been announced, but when it is, just fig
ure on big time, as No. 16 will enter
tain and assist their brethren in giving
the supper, and in having grand jolli-
fication. No doubt special train will
be run from Idaho Springs to accommo-
date the visitors.

COULD NOT PAY DIVIDENDS.

The Denver Mining Reporter very apt
ly observes that following hard on the
heels Of consummation Of the consoli-
dation Of the sampling works Of Boulder,
GilpiD, Clear Creek, and Summit, come
rumors Of the consultations OF the sam
pling mills in the Cripple Creek district
There is every reason to belive that these
consultations are being effected through
the support OF the American Smelling
and Refining Company. The strength
given TO the American Smelling and Re-
flning Company by the ownership or con-
troll OF all the sampling works of the
state must be enormous. In the mean
time the mining industry is languishing
owing to the restrictions placed upon il
by the smelling industry and these new
consultations must make it more diff
cult for any opposition to be started.
The American Smelling and Refining
Company has capitalization far in ex-
cess otreal value Of the property it owns,
and in order 10 pay dividents on a large
amount Of worthless property the mining
industry is being taxed 10 the limit.
Coming as we do in contact With men
from every part of the west we can vouch
for the fact that feeli3g Of resentment
is absolutely universal, and unless the
smelling company changes its tactics
concerted action will be taken by he
miners to remove the incubus now placed
upon them. Should the mining men of
the west ever get together and build
their own smel;ers, the American
Smelling and Refining Company will find
the earning power of its properly so
greatly deprecated that it cannot pay
dividents.

Mr.. Chamberlain has no thought of

the work he has undertaken for the

berlain, the Times declares, put his

problems and is quite content for the

completion.
The most significant portion of the
duke Of Devonshire's speech in the
house of lords, in which he assumed
the leadership of that legislative
branch, was his distinction between
the great majority of this house, who
have for long time followed the lead
ership of Lord Salisbury and the po-
litical set to which the duke himself
belongs. His grace thus emphasized
the fact that he considers the liberal
unionists still have a separate exist
ence from the conservative party, and
also that the leadership of the upper
house has now passed out of conserva-
tive hands. There were many eulogies
of Salisbury.

Washington, July 15.-Ohcials of
the state department are gratiied at
the information from Pekin that for
eign ministers have agreed on the
terms under which Tientsin is to be
turned over to China, and also at the
victory for American diplomacy in
volyed in the amelioration of the
stringent terms first imposed. Some
concern, however, is felt here in re
gard to the statement that the minis
tiers are considering the question of re
imbursing the foreign concessionaries
for the grants obtained under the pro-
visional government which are now re-
ported to be declared invalid by the
terms of the Tientsin agreement 1t is
pointed out that the German, French
and other citizens who obtained con-
cessions from the provisional govern
ment did so with their eyes open to the
probability of change of government
at Tientsin and the consequent annul
ment of their concessions, and it is felt
the Chinese treasury should not be
drained for the purpose indicated. 1t
is therefore probable that some infia-
ence will be brought to bear by this
government to prevent another inroad
on the Chinese government funds.
