THE COLORADO SLATE
Things Which Will Probably Happen
 in Democratic Convention.

Denver, Sept. 2O.-The democratic state convention will meet in this city tomorrow to select a full state ticket and five presidential electors. Although no announcement of his candidacy for the governorship has ever been made or authorized by Chas J. Hughes, Jr, of Denver his name. will go before the convention and will receive the united support of the Denver delegation. This announcement was made at midnight after conference of several hours du- ration between the leaders from all sections of the state. It is freely pre- dicted that he will be nominated on the first ballot and that his name will be the only one mentioned for the place.
 This is hardly probable in view of the fact that different delegations have been instructed for Edward F. Taylor Of Garfield county, Christian A. Ben nett of Weld, Joseph H. Maupin of Fremont and Judge Stevens of Ouray It is only reasonable to presume that these persons will be put in nomina- ton and receive at least a compliment tary vote from delegations instructed in their favor. However, it is conced- ed on all sides that Hughes will be chosen not later than the second bal lot. John F. Shafroth and Harvey Riddell, both of Denver, are favored by certain elements but since it has be- come known that Hughes will not de-

FILBUSTERS ARE FEARED
Central American States Notify This
 Government.

Washington, Sept. 2O.-Rumors of the formation of a filibustering expedition in the United States directed against one of their number, has caused some agitation among some of the Central American republics. Honduras and Guatemala are particularly apprehen- siVe and the minister of one and the charge of the other have addressed themselves to the state department re- questing the government to prevent the formation and departure of any hostile expeditions from United States port
 While the rumors referred, to, were vague, the state department comply ing with the request addressed itself to the treasury department and the department of justice, requesting an Investigation and a strict enforcement of the laws, forbidding the incubation of any hostile expedition in the Unit ed States directed against a friendly government or another state.
 The representatives of Guatemala and Honduras Lave been told that if they will cause to be reported promtpIy

cline the nomination it is unlikely that either Shafroth or Riddell will be men tioned further.
 With the exception of secretary of state and lieutenant governor there are from three to six candidates for the remaining offices on the ticket. Hor- ace w. Havers of LeadviHe is unop- posed for secretary of state and there IS no announced candidate for second place on the ticket.
 A congressman for the first district, and at large will also be chosen to- morrow. Clay B. Whitford of Den yer has the endorsement of the Denver delegation, which is pledged to vote as unit for him, and as Denver controls the first district, his selection is almost a certainty. However, the supporters of James P. Mullins have declared that they will attempt to break the unit rule and name Mullins for the place.
 The only avowed candidate for con Sressman at large is Col B. F. Mont gomery of Teller county. Unless some thing develops during the early hours of the convention he will undoubtedly be chosen. While the platform has been discussed among the leaders but little attention has been paid to this feature of the conventions work in view of the more consuming interest in the candidates. Senator Teller will be temporary chairman of the conven- tion

CONCERNING coNTRABAND.
Russia's Position Will Shortly Be Made
 Known.

St. Petersburg, Sept. 2O.-Russias position on the matter of contraband will be officially promulgated in the form of decisions of the admiralty court in cases of the Calchas, the Ara bla and the Allanton when they come up on trial.
 Prof De Martens, president of the commission which has decided what should constitute contraband accord ing to Russian views will appear on be- half of the government thus practical ly insUring an acceptance of the prin- ciples formulated by the commission As he will be in possession of the American and British notes, the con tentions of those governments will be practically before the court.
 Russia's position has been author tatiyely stated to the Associated Press as follows: Russia does not desire to interfere with the United States Ie Q g9timate commerce with Japan. but she has right to and must protect her self as far as possible against ship ments. which may aid the enemy in prosecuting the war.

Baltimore, Sept. 2O.-Senator Chas. w. Fairbanks was chief speaker at the republican mass meeting here in this city tonight, the event being the formal opening of the republican campaign in Maryland.
 In his speech Senator Fairbanks de- clared that the losses of Baltimore in the confiagratiOn of this year were not so large as those sustained by the country during the last democratic ad- ministration as the result of the tenn porary overthrow of republican prin- ciples. He declared that during CIeve- lands administration business in this and other large cities was checked pay rolls were reduced and the wage rate diminished

The conferees were mute as to the details of their discussion, the only announce ment being that no final agreement had been reached and the situation would remain SO until the o'clock meeting.
 Immediately following the close Of the conference Senator McCarren went into conference with Mir. Sheehan, aC- companied by Senator Bowling, repre- senting Chas. F. Murphy. The three were together in MT. Sheehan's room for about fifteen minutes. No an- nOuncement was made

asked could General Kuroki with 1OO.- 900 men slip past General Rennen- kampfs Cossacks and cross the Hun river near Fushan coal mines, thirty miles east of Mukden. Fushan is on the road from Bentziaputze, where General KurOki crossed the Tsaitse river. This road is carefully watched by General Kuropatkin's outposts be- tween Mukden and Sintsintin. Strong guards has been placed at the Fushan mines, which General Kuropatkin wii not give up without a struggle, as the loss Of the mines would involve cutting off of the coal supply for the whole.
