Mining indications for the winter vicinity of the Submarine where in all proba bility the most important winter opera tions will take place. Despite pessimistc views to the contrary there is every likelihood of more important mining being carried out this coming winter than in the past two years A consider able quantity of grounl is to be opened up on the sub1la ~ine ny all accounts.
 The excitement that broke cut in mining circles over the failure of the company to pay in full some of the men employed by the men em- ployed by the Alaska Mines Corpo- ration somewhat simmered down although as far as could be learned yesterday the men had not been paid. Whether or not resolve has been made to continue .he ope- rations that made the Nome Con- solidated famous in this camp is not known, but the workers somehow connect this delay with the arrival of well known high financier not wholly unconnected with the com pany. Whether there is any ground for the belief that the former system is connected with the arrival or not the Industrial Worker is not able to say. The workers who have money coming so far are not able to say whether it is because the the balance in hand is temporarily exhausted or because it is due to the not unknown custom followed in former years by some corpora tions of paying the money when it was taken out of the ground. There was a general disposition upon the part of many Of the former employees who are unpaid Jo hide while to see what will happen. This is almost like old tirnes.

School BOARD Gets
SERVICE BOARD REPORT

Members Of the Board OF Public
Education at their meeting last night
received the report Of the Joint Com
mittee on Public Education and the
General Service Board OF Delaware.
The repoN which was accepted and
fled was as follows.
The President and Members OF the
Board OF Public Education. Will
mington, Delaware.
Gentlemen: - Representative Of
your official body responded some
time ago to an invitation from the
Joint Citizens Committee on Educa-
ton and the Executive Committee Of
the General Service Board to express
their views upon the best methods Of
managing aud financing the public
schools Of this city.
The committee wishes TO thank Mr.
Baynard and DR.. Cooper for this
courtesy. and also to present to all
the members OF the Board of Educa-
ton the final conclusions Of the
committee as embodied in the pro-
posed amendments to the State law
on organization and control of the
Public Schools Of Wilmington.
I'm the financial provisions, these
amendments are founded ON the fun
damental principle generally prac-
ticed throughout the United States
and abroad that education is a state
function, that fun responsibility
within reasonable statutory limlts)
should be vested in a board elected
by the people and directly rospon-
sible to the people in fixing its bud
get and securing results.
In the organization provisions, the
amendments arc based upon modern
business experience. and upon a con-
vcncing weight OF testimony from
disinterosted educational authorities,
city officers. and school board menu
hers i'm cities all over the country.
This testimony is amply supported by
practicai evidence in form OF better
schools and more satisfactory school
management both from the citizens
point of Wow and tho point OF Wow
of board members themselves.
The undersigned committees, un-
dertook the study Of local school
problems with the sincere and earn
est purpose of finding the best method
of conducting and financing theee
schools for the sake Of the children
who arc To be educated. OF the citi-
zens who must pay for public educa-
ton. and OF the board which Is cleo
tod TO conduct this primarily import
ant public service. We urge your
approval OF these principles and these
amendments. We should be glad to
have members of our committee APP
pear before your body and explain
amy details together with the facts
and arguments considered by our
committee In arriving al these con-

THE ELECTION.

The official returns OF the
election show a Republican land
slide throughout the county and
state.
In the county, the only Demo
Gratis elected were George W..
Waters, Jr., of Laurel, for Coun-
ty Commissioner, and Charles
w. Clagett. of Hyattsville, for
House of Delegates, the losing
Republicans being William II.
Duvall and Gustavus B. Timanus.
Senator William F. Holmead was
defeated for reelection by the
narrow margin of AZ votes. 1t
is rumored that he will contest.
The Democrats have had an
uphill fight throughout the state.
The increase in the assessment
of property was the principal
cause of complaint against them.
Then, there were the Baltimore
City annexation question, the
LIQUOR question, etc., all of which
figured strongly in the result.
Returns in the state show that
Hugh A. McMullen had been re-
elected State Comptroller over
William O. Atwood, Republican,
by plurality Of 1,194. Balti-
more county gave McMullen a
plurality of 4, 1872. Atwood car
