MICHIGAN DEMOCRATS
IN OPTIMISTIC MOOD
Declare Republican Evasion on
Tariff Will Give Them
Congress Seats.

KALAMAZOO, Mich, October DE
nuncia ton Of the Payne tariff bill and
of the representatives from Michigan
who aided in its passage was outlined
as the strongest plank in the plat
form of the democratic state con-
vention to be adopted today. The dele
gates to the democratic state conven-
ton expressed pleasure over what was
designated by them as the evasive
tactics of the republican convention in
meeting the tariff issue yesterday. and
they prepared for a fierce onslaught on
the measure and it's adherents.
Frank D. Eaman, the temporary chair
man of the convention, said the action
of the republican state convention in
evading direct reference to the tarin
meant the election of Shlf dozen
democratic congressman in the state.
The promise of bipartisan appointive
boards and commissions throughout the
state, in the event Of democratic VIC
tory, was expected to largely eliminate
the state issues in the fight, and center
national measures.
Vigorous charges of republican mis-
rule in the state, which were asserted
in greater part TO have been exposed
r. Hemans, the present democratic
nominee for governor. also are expected
to form part of the platform. The
selection of bipartisan committees, 1T
was asserted. will insure fidelity and
vigilance on the part Of state officials
not to be obtained in any other manner.
1t is not expected that the conven-
ton would develop any contest on
nominees or the building of the plat
form.
Mr. Hemans. although not delegate
to the convention, was one of the early
arrivals.

INJURED IN LAUNCHING.
Repairs Will Have to Be Made to
the Barge Pancake.

The barge John S. Pancake. which was
recently launched at Seaford, Del, for
the Virginia Lumber and Tie Company.
has been taken to Baltimore. and will be
locked at Woodalrs for repairs, which
are made necessary by a peculiar acct
dent. AS the vessel was being launched
she hung on the ways, and the strain in
cident to pulling her into the water dam
aged her before she was afloat The YES
sci will have to be calked, bilge keel
sons will have to he renewed and other
work done before it will be ready to &C
into service. The Pancake was built to
run railroad ties and lumber from the
Potomac and other tributaries of Chesa-
peake bay to Philadelphia and New York.
Repairs to the schooner Emily E. Bur
ton, well known at this port, have be en-
completed at a Baltimore shipyard. and
the vessel has returned to service. While
at the shipyard the Burton received new
bends, keelsons and top timbers.

RAILROAD TIES ARE SCARCE.
Railroads Now Pass Ties They For
merly Would Have Rejected.

Shipments of railway ties from Alex
andria and Potomac river points will be
quite heavy during the next few weeks.
The three-masted schooner Earl P. Ma
son yesterday completed the loading of
about 10000 ties at the Alexandria ship
yard, and sailed last night for Phila-
delphia. The schooner Sarah D. Fell is
at anchor off Alexandria loading ties
from lighters She will take aboard about
1900 ties, and will carry them to New
York.
The coal-carrying barge Clara Brooks
will today be bertned at the Alexandria
shipyard to load about 1900 ties for
New York, and during the coming week
the barge Totuskey. now at this city, Will
load several thousand ties at Occoquan
for the dealers here. In addition to these
vessels. there are several barges at river
points loading. and the barge Nanjamoy
is under charter to load in Nomini creek
and the schooner S. P. Herbert to load
at Somerset Beach, both for New York.
1t is estimated that over 100000 ties will
leave the Potomac for the north this
month So scarce are ties becoming that
the railroads are now accepting as first
class ties that a few years ago the in
spectors would have thrown out as being
unfit for service.

DEL R|O RANCHES ARE BEING
 IMPROVED
From Saturdays Daily)

J. H. Fleming, in charge of the Fred Harvey interests at Grand Can yon, left for the north yesterday af- ter several days examination of the Harvey interests at Del Rio, of which he is superintendent.
 He reports that he is satisfied with the experimental tests made at Del Rio. so far as the reclamation project has progressed. and the ex- cellent results obtained in demon strating the fertility of the soil. He states that from the natural flow of water at the springs, between 200 and 300 acres of land can be cultivated, and with season of rainfall as has formerly prevailed, this acreage can be materially increased.
 So far as the demain mas been used. he is pleased at the investment, and believes that it will meet with the demand expected, in affording the company a concentrated point for the production of large dairy pro ducts.
 In speaking of the probability of erecting buildings, and the bringing of the several hundred head of milch cows to that point, he stated yester- day that this will not be undertaken this year, but that in all probability there would be general move made during the early part of the coming year to get the project going on lines as originally intended.
 At present a force of men is em- ployed clearing the land of rubbish, repairing the old irrigating ditehes, and digging of new ones. Several head of dairy cows have been brought from the main line, and others would be sent as occasion requires. Over 100 tons of alfalfa hay has been shipped to the several feeding pens, and mad not the fontail growth in terfered, this tonnage would have been larger. To get the soil in good condition, and with alfalfa eK- clusively, IS now the object, and which when demonstrated, will see the expenditure of a heavy sum of money for the erection of buildings and the maintenance of large force of workmen.
