The negro question may come to

1t is reported that Mr.. Bryan was
recently visited by representatives of
the negro race. who assured him that
slight denunciation of the course

of votes for the democratic ticket in

not unfavorable to such a course.

formers, such as Mr.. Thiele, IL Pink
ertOn detective now in Grand juno
tiOn, and who joined II union of labor
ing men in Butte, Mont, for the plir-
pose of spying on them and of report
ing their actions to the Mine Owners

ems of others who We're circulating

being considered, it was without
doubt, being considered by the min
ers themselves. / am free to say
that if any movement of this kind
had been contemplated by thr min
ers. the Pinkerton spoilers i'm the
Telluride miners union would have
furnished their masters with the in

The adjudication is an extremely
important one. as it involves the wat
err rights of the San Miguel river
upon which all the mines cf the Tel
luride district are dependent for pow
err. while all the ranches of the San
Miguel valley use the water for ir-
rigation. The adjudication, there
fore, involves several millions, as the
water of the river is used for power
by the biggest mines of the district,
including the Smugglerunion, the
Tomboy, the Revenue tunnel the
Liberty Bell and others.
The taking of evidence will occu-
py the greater part of the present

1t seems that efforts being made
by the court officers and fair-minded
men on each side of the Adams case
to keep down sensational stories and
features intended to influence public
sentiment in the Steve Adams case
are to be defeated wherever possible
by certain individuals and publica
tions.
The letter, which President Moy-
er of the Western Federation of Min
ers is supposed to have addressed to
the miners of the Telluride district,
was not made public in Telluride
yesterday or last night; but was made
public first in this city, the morning
sheet being furnished with copy of
the letter with the permission to
make it public, and the same was
made public by that sheet in a most
sensational manner. and Will proba-
bly, succeed in causing much disquiet
and discord at a time when court Of

deavoring to prevent discord and dis
quiet in order that a great criminal
trial may be held in an impartial
