occurred in the ranks of the men, Rumors
that coliieries are about to start work are
heard, but no coal company official will
publicly say they are true. The mine work

the companies closely. and add there is no
truth in the rumors. They point to the fact
that such stories have been in existence for
more than two months, and vet not a col
liery has been started
The mine workers officials continue to ex-
press themselves as confident of success.
1t Is fully expected in this vicinity that the
suspension of mining will last for some
time, judging by the attitude of the strikers

every day and the men are voting to stand
together to the end. The mine workers
ofhclals, from President Mitchell down are
all in the field working to keep the men
together and prevent a possible break

city, says Portage, Wis, dispatch to the

JUDGE SLOAN DEAD.
Passed Away After a Lingering Ill
ness From Bright's Disease.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CUMBERLAND, Md, August 9,-Judge
David w. Sloan of the fourth MARYLAND
judicial circuit died early this morning
from Brights disease, after lingering ILL
less, aged fifty-two years. He returned
from Hot Springs, Va, several weeks ago
and later went to Oakland to preside over
court. While there he was caught in a.
rain storm, and the exposure hastened his
end. Judge Sloan had arranged for a
summer home at Oakland, but was unable
to go there with his family owing to the
sudden relapse. Judge Sloan will likely be
buried at Frostburg where his fathers re-
mains rest. He was a member of the First
Presbyterian Church here.
The office made vacant by the death Of
Judge Sloan will be temporarily filled by
appointment by the governor until the
election in November. The appointee will
be a democrat and all indications point to
local bar, who was defeated for the judge
ship in 1895 by Judge Sloan. The de-
ceased had been a republican leader and
his work for Senator Wellington at Annap-
oils in 1895 helped to break the senatorial
deadlock. He was an expert organizer.
Judge Sloan leaves a widow and four chill
dren. He was prominent as the organizer
of the Allegheny Bar Association and for
his membership in secret orders, including
the Knights Templar and EIks.

Mr.. Cooper was never appointed
superintendent of public works, and

During the absence of Mr.. Boyd, the
incapacity of Marston Campbell, and
the disappearance of treasurer Wright,
who had been designated by Superin-
tendent Boyd to act for him, Governor
Dole requested Mr.. Cooper, as his spe-
cial agent, to take chage of the Office.
This was done under a section of the
Organic Act which made the executive
responsible for the faithful execution
of the laws of the Territory.
Governor Dole stated this week that
he intended to appoint treasurer very
soon. and would not wait until the leg
islature meets, but had not decided on
the most available man. The difficulty
has been in securing someone who
would accept the Office for the few
months before the legislature meets,
and take chances on being accepted
by the senate.

just as 1t appears:
"A prominent gentleman will for
ward in the next mail an application
to the President of the United States
and the Secretary of the Interior for
his appointment as secretary OF the
Territory of Hawaii.
This gentleman takes the position
in which he is supported by counsel
that the Organic Act OF the Territory
distributes its administrative power in
certain different officials who are there
in named; that Mr.. H. +. Cooper hav-
ing accepted the Office Of treasurer of
the Territory, thereby resigned in con-
temptation of law his Office as secretary
of the Territory; that having subse-
quently accepted the Office OF superin-
tendent OF public works, he thereby
resigned his Office as treasurer of the

position today being that of superin-
tendent of public works.
Authorities bearing upon this ques-
ton, it is contended, are numerous and
