DiLTTMonr, July 37. Tho Democratic Bute
Conventluu will be held tomorrow at Ford'
Opera House, In this olty, and promises to b
one of the liveliest gatherings held here In many
years. Senator Gorman arrirod thla afternoon,
and bos been conferring with State leader and
delegates with reference to the currency ques
tion. This Is causing him a world of trouble.
He does not caro to havo any action taken at all,
and, If It were possible, would prevent any reso
lution boaring on this subject from being pre
sented. As somo of the counties, however, will
be roprcsentod by delegates who are out-and-out
silver men, and who openly avow that they will
ask for tho Indorsement of the Chicago plat
form, It will bo impossible to Ignoro the ques
tion entlroly.
With the vlow, therefore, of preventing a fight
in open convention Senator Clorman bus been
importuning tho delegates not to press the mat
ter, but to permit theCommltteeon Iteaolutlons
to dispone of It as they may seo lit. Ho has im
pressed on them the fact that the city is almost
solidly lor gold, and If they persist in forcing
upon tho convention tho silver clank, the city
will surely be lost to the Democrats. Ills argu
ments havo had their effect, for to-night some
ot the c-ountrvmen uro wnverlng, but still thoy
insist upon somo sort of expression. They do
not want It Ignored altogether. The Indications,
therefore, are that tbero will bo a compromise.
It is Intended to adopt a resolution setting
forth that tho currency of tho coutitr) should bo
on u bluictalllo basis, silver to be coined at such
ratio as may hereafter be determined by an in
ternational conference. To this the gold men
will oiler no objection. Should, however, the
matter come to un open light, which now does
not nppetr to be at all likely, the sllvor men
would probably win. To prevent discussion a
rule will be adoped to refer all resolutions to the
commlttoo without debute.
Next In importance to the currency plank In the
platform come the nominations lor State Comp
troller and Clerk of the Court of Appeals. It Is
very probable that George A. Deakyne of Caro
line county will bo the '.andldale for Comp
troller, while J. Frank Ford will be renominated
for Clerk or the Court of Appeals. J. K. Hurst,
tbe last Democratic candidate for Qovernor,
may proslde ox er tho convention.
Annai-ous, Md July 27. In county conven
tion at Annapolis to-day the Democrats of Auno
Arundel county unanimously indorsed I. T.
Junes as Assoclute Juugoof tbe Fifth Judicial
Circuit. Delegates wore elected to tbe State
Contention, nalch will meet in Ualtlmore on
Wednesday to nominate a candidate tor Clerk
of the Court of Ai peals and for Coiupt roller. J.
F. Ford will bo renominated for clerk without
opposition.
No reference was made to Sonntor Gorman's
candidacy for reflection, but some of the candi
dates spoken of for tbe legislature from Ibis
county aro known to be Gorman adherent. Mr.
(lormun'a nontenant, den. Bond, called tbe An

CITY 3tAQMTltATES' BOTT.
Aaaenblyman Andrews Denonaeee Craae tar
Opposing Job lied.
The majority of the City Magistrates refused
yesterday to discuss the row that was precip
itated at their board meeting on Monday night
by Magistrate Crane and flvo uf his associates
refusing to vote for Frank McCibe, who was
Magistrate Hedges' candidate for the place of
Chief Clerk of tbe new West Fifty-fourth Street
Court.
Magistrate Hedges, when seen by a reporter,
(aid that he did not care to express his opinion
of his fellow Magistrates who had voted against
his candidate. He said that the law which ap
pointed him. Magistrate Meade, and Magistrate
Pool had given them the right to name the at
taches of tho now court.
"Tho old Judges outvoted ue," said he, "but
further than to point to tho law I caro to mako
no comment."
Assemblyman Andrews, who fathered the bill
in the Legislature, was moro outspoken. He
declared that the "Joker "giiing the choice ot
the court attaches to be appointed to tho new
Magistrates, wo not "sneaked" through tho
Legislature, as Magistrate Crano had declared.
It was openly amended nt the second reading in
the Assembly, aud the amendment was inado to
expedite Its passage.
'It was afterward suggested," continued Mr,
Andrews, "thnt I be nllowed to select the man
to be appointed as chief clerk, mereh as a mat
ter of courtcs) for having pushed the hill
through tho Legislature I selected -Mr. McCaho.
It was all right for Magistrate Crane to eulogize
his own candidate, but it wns unmanly for him
tn make use of falsehoods when referring to Mr.
McCabo. Mr. Crane and I had been frionde up
to now, and I am surprised at bis conduct.
Steps may he taken to force tbe old Magistrate)
to obey the law and nppo nt tho candidates of
tbe three new Magistrates."
Until the new Magistrates make further
nominations, no person can be appointed in the
new court, and at present the new Magistrates
do not seem to be In a humor to mako any nominations.

Iho sliver Republicans, however, accom-
fllsbei nothing In their efforts to have one of

authorized to name his asaoclutra on the

anybody who has not been an avowed
Democrat for at least a year. Towne, Warner,
end the others think this Is suicidal, and insist
thnt tho sllvor Republicans and Populists must

Mr. Collls, It will bo rememoorcd, became a
member of the Republican County Committee
recently, and he makes no secret of the fact that
he Is for Mayor Strong for tho first Mayor of
Greater New York. Ho Is Mayor Strong's
Publlo Works Commissioner, and bo is the Boss
of Clarcmont. Mr. Collls is a politician,
originally from Philadelphia, Mr. Collls doesn't
give dinners unless he 1ms some very good
reason for doing It, Mr. Collls has been known
to play the three-curd monto game when
he thought bo might carry his point by
means ot It. His first experience in thla
game waa in Philadelphia, and his second ox
Eerlence was In Wall street. New York. Gen.
ollls's threc-ctrd monto games are always
harmless, nnd are BUrted for his own amusement
A glance nt the list of guests printed above
will show that Gen Collls selected a ory able
lot of citizens on which to work & three card
monto gamo. Gen, Collls sent out his invitations
to this dinner only a day or so ago. and as a
three-card monto came can be played better
when the crowd Is small, and there nre no on
lookers, he didn't tell anybody that there was to
be a dinner. When it did come out yesterday
afternoon, it wns asserted that there wan no
political significance to It not out; it was
merely a social affair, llko most of the dinners
thctare given to distinguished gentlemen by
other gentlemen who are looking for things.
Gen, Collin's guests gathered at tho Claremont
about 8 o'clock last cienlng. Tbe General, ot
course, occupied tbe seat nt tbe head of the
table. Uosli o him on the right was Republican
National Committeeman Glhbs nnd on the left
President Qulgg of the County Committee.
Cher tho clams they discussed the weather:
over the soup they discussed Central Park and
tbe menagerie, nnd so ocr course after courso
to the end the) selected timely topics.
All the time, however. Gen. Collls, tbe host,
monkeyed w 1th the three cards that are used In
the game, b ml he really did think Be was rank
ing n good deal of headway. His distinguished
guests nodded and smiled and smiled and
nodded and smiled agcin, and occasionally said
"yes." nnd they Jollied Gen. Collls In great
shine.
Aftor everything had been eaten nnd the table
ha t been cleared tbe w altera brought in great
bowls of fruit and nuts, hazel nuts, peenns,
and English walnuts particularly English
walnuts. The General was happ). He kept
right on monkeying with the three card, and It
renllv did look as if possibly he might bsvo
caught something, when he happened toglanca
iu the direction of tbe Hon. Lemuel E Qulgg.
On tho table in (rent of him Mr. Quigg bad
three English walnut Bhclls, and he had one of
the little French peas that had been served
earlier in the dinner. Mr. Quigg was very in
tent on this layout,
Tb pea would disappear, now It would be
under ono "hell, now under another, and then it
wouldn't bo under any of them. He didn't say
nnvthlng and hr didn't smile. Rut the moment
belaid his eyes on them, (,rn. Collls whistled.
The other gentlemen watched Mr. Qulgg, too,
nnd they began to smile.
By and by Mr. Collls put up his three cards,
and the dinner was over. Everybody said ho
had had a splendid time, and that thore wasn't
any politics In it at all. But Mr. Collls.
he knew, and Mr. Qulgg he knew and
when Mr. Qulgg left tbe table he followed tbe
example of Gen. Collls. and he put tbe three
walnut shells and the pea in his pockot.

WnKKLtNO, W. Va,, July 27. Tho result of
the largest conference of labor leaden In tho
history of trades unionism and In the Interest of
tho striking co.il miners waa a vote to-day of
moral and financial aid and a determination
to begin a campaign to awakon Interest In the
condition of the striking miners. At 13 o'clock
to-night a committee appointed to prepare a
plan for the succesful prosecution of the strike
made Its report. It was adopted after much dlt
outslon and provides that on Aug. 0 publlo meet
ings bo hold In every olty In the Union. Speak
ers will be provided and the object of the assem
blages will be to fully acquaint peoplo with the
condition of the strikers.
In addition to this fonture of the programme,
every organisation of labor will bo expected to
contrlbuto financial aid to the strikers. Each
union will also put organliers Into West Vlr
I glnia to work under Ralchford ' directions.
They will be assisted in every possiblo way ex
cept by open sympathy strikes.
V. H, Miller, ono of the first agitators In tbe
field, was driven from Fairmont to-night by
deputy sheriffs. Ho boardod a freight train and
escapod arrest on the strength of Judge Mason's
Injunction, preventing riotous assemblages.
This morning a score of strikers' wives attacked
and injured a crowd of Italian minors who wero
looking for Jobs. Tho men wore stoned and
driven away.
The conference of labor leaders, which was
secret, began at noon in Trades Assembly Hall.
President Gompors of tho American Foderatlon
of Labor was made Chairman, and Frank Mor
rison, Secretary of tho smo organiza
tion, was made Secretary. The Chair
announced the object of tho meeting,
and following his request tho condition
of tbe ttrike was announced by President Dolon
of the Plltaburg district mine workers. Presi
dent Ratcbforcf of tho United Mine Workors,
W. D. Mabon of tbe Street Railwuy Organiza
tions, and Debs all ugrocd that tbe men em
Iilo)cd by tho Now York and CIo eland Gas nnd
:ol Company In the Pitttburg district and tbo
i miners of thu West Virginia fields must strike
before tbe present battle is won.
President Ratehford refused to recommend a
plan of uction, preferring to place that
matter in tho bands of tho convention. Be
fore the adjournment until to-night was
ordered a commltteo was oppolntod to agrco
upon plans for tho prosecution uf tbo striko,

ot ltalln ay Trainmen, and President Gompors
were natnod as mouthers.
In interviews Iwforo tbe meeting Debs and
Ratehford denied that an attempt would be
made to induce a sympathetic strike. The for
mer intimated that he preferred to raise a large
sum of momy to sustain the striking miners
and keep organizers in tho West Virginia Hold.
In autleip Ulon or toda) 'a conference of labor
chiefs the striko situation seems lobule taken
on an unusuul qmwtude. Contrary to reports,
the Mononguh men urn at work in greater
numbers than eer. In tbe southern part or the
State stories uf ace esslutis lo tho strikers' r ink
are also denied. Interest in tho striko in the
Panhandloand along tho Ohio line is growing

Operators Consider a Calrorraltr Plan Little
Hope or an Agreement.
PlTTSBuno, Pa,. July 27. Not half of the coal
operntorsof the Pittsburg district attended the
meeting that was held to-day as a beginning to
secure the " true uniformity" movement in coal
mining, Hnd thus pave the way to end
the coal strike. The river oporatora wero
conspicuous by the absence of represen
ts tho men. In fact it is believed that
tho Introduction of the river men as a
factor foredooms the movement to defeat. They
were not considered in tbo uniformity move
ment eighteen months ngo, and it Is om) the es
tablishment of free lockagoon thoMonongahrla
that has led certain operators to Insist on in
cluding them. Mr. De Armil wanted them in
cluded, nnd F. L. Robblns, his chief opponent,
also faiored tbe idea. If the failure to secure
the rlicr operators' signatures results In the
defeat of tho truo uniformity movement, tho
usual excuse. " lay tho blaino on Do Armit,"
will not bold good.
The meeting wns called to order In the Crimi
nal Court room at tho Court House. Alexander
Dempster was made Chilrman and Thomas E.
Young, Senator Mark Hanna's representative,
was elected Secretary. Arbitration Commis
sioner Little of Ohio made a speech, and was
afterward taken to task by Col. W. P. Rond and
W. P. Murray, who said thnt Mr. Litllo had
made a general accusation of dishonesty ugainst
the Pittsburg operators.
A commltteo hub appointed to prepare a uni
formity contract, nnd Inter In the day It mado a
report, M ueh of the report consisted of p irts of
the uniformity contract of eighteen months ago.
Tbe new matter is:
"The I'ituhurc district Is to Include the thick
nnd thin vein mines railroad and rlvor. In what
is known as tho Pittsburg sonm, including
mines In the vicinity, whose product competes
with Pittsburg district mines. The question of
thick and thin loin differential shall be ar
bitrated If not determined by tbe convention. If
the requisite 05 per t nnt. of the signers shall not
be obtained, eliihty (80) subscribers may call a
meeting, modify tho contract nnd pledge the
support of all subscribers to the action of the
meeting,
"To settle the question of wsges. a commis
sion of nino operators and nine miners suull
seloct a board of arbitration with power to act."
iho report was ordered to be printed, Tho
convention will meet agcin to-mor ovv. A
prominent coal operator told TuK SrN corre
spond! nt that it would bo Impossible to secure
the signatures of D5 per cent, ot theoporaton,
and that tbe uniformity movemont will fall

Col W. P. Rend, who was on tbecotumlttee. pre
pared a minority report. Drematlcally ho read a
long attack on De Armil. whom, however, be did

No wonder tbe use of gns as n fuel Is Increasing

London, July 27. Tho Daily Ntnt rivet
prominence to an article under the caption ot
"A Bad Harvest at the Colonial Office," which
constitutes a remarkable doucho lo the popular
hopes based upon the Jublleo gathering. The
paper says:
"Cultivating the colonial premiers teemt to
havo led to results as meagre as ploughing tho

tbe premiers met repeatedly. There wero acres
of talk, but If report may bo trusted tho harvest
was nil.
" From all accounts the Tresaury will not be
asked lo find a single shilling to support any
pan-Britannic schemes. Tbo zoll vcrein hat been
buried, and tbo Paclflo ciblo must be looked for
In Umbo, where it will havo for company sundry
visions of speedier imperial mall cervices.
"No colonial representatives will sit In tho
British Parliament. Neverthless.we aro told thnt
tbo premiers and "Mr. Cbnmberlaln aro so satis
fled with their meeting that they opine that a
similar conference every fow years would be a
good thing. Wo doubt they are laying this lo
rloutly. "It Is certain that no such polite expression It
likely to find an echo In the colonies. The bar
renness of the Jubilee conferenco will mako It
hard for any Colonial Secretary to again induce
tho colonies to send their premiers to London.
"If It be true that Sir Wilfred Laurler, the
Canadian Premier, has not obtained a promise
that tbe German and Belgian treaties will bo
denounced, whilo at tho Sirue time the Aus

FAH ltOCKAWAT. L. I., July 27. When thlt H
summer so non openod tho Fur Knckawny Furry H
nnd Improicnient Company built a low frame H
: brldgo ov or tbo Inlot from thonnlnlnnd loth H
outer bench, whoro all tho bathing Is done, A I
fee of five cents was chargod for tho prl v lloge of I
walking over It. The company also held lh
leasoof the beach nnd the bi thing bouses, which I
ara I ho property of James MrCaff roy. H
Now James Bishop nnd John Francis Cronta I
reasoned thvt poople would rnthor ride than I
walk when It didn't cost any more. Solbcyplnn-
nod a ferry route. Twolnunthoswcropurehnsed, B
and spnro torn dock on tho mainland was laised Hj
from Mr. UoTers, proprietor of the United H
Stales Hotel. Thn most difilcult thing to nit onj. I
pllsh, however, wns to tccuro a landing on th I
bathing beach. S
Bo)ondthoCafTrcy beach is n 300-foot atrip H
belonging to James O'Donoghuo, For sms I
tlmo this property h is not been assossed, so tin I
town authorities derided It wis open land, and B
when Messrs. Bishop nnd Cronin applied, th H
Town Board of Hctnpstoad gavo them a lciso of I
it. Tbclesso wasforthtrty jesrs. H
Tbe ferr) boats began to run nnd they drew I
crowds. Tho coffers of tho brldgo comp my suf- I
fcrcd. But that wasn't all. Maritime laws
compelled the brldgo owners to make I
a drnw In Iho brldgo foe tho passigt B
of thn launches through tho Inlet. The D
launches made firty trips a clay, mi I K
the Improvement Company was conmelled to 9 '
keep two men const mtl) euiplo)cd hoisting Ihi H
draw and letting It down airaln. Th" sail y
Toot! toot I" or tho launt hes pierced the ho iru
of tho brldgo owners
Then they did a little scheming themselves.
They decided to build a high fmco tbit would
wall off tbe Donojnue licach from the Ccffroy
beach This nccompllshiid. launch pvsscniera
would And themselves rem cdo'f rrom thu bsth
ing houses and stranded upon desolate white
arils.
This morning saw tho accomplishment of ths
plan, hut not without trouble. Tbo inlot Is toi
shallow for beavlb laden transports to pnss
through It. Therefore the lumber had to be
convoyod over Iho Donahue projicrty lo tho Cat
frey beich by wn) of I Jew rem e.
Mr. Bishop or tho launch enterprise saw the c
lumber coining nt an early hour this morning. I
He grabbed tho hoads or tho horses on thn lead- c
ing wagon and demanded that Iho driver turn i
about. Instead of doing so Ihcdriverlnldaboat
with his whip. Mr. Bishop wlthdn w.
The trucks rolled triumphantly Into the CntTroy
territory. The work of bull ting Iho fence wot
complctod In two hours. It is of ugly pint
boirds, ton feet high, and along tbn topis strung
barbed wire. Tho fenco extends from the inlet
to the surf, and is situated about Aft) Itet to
the west of tbe launch landing.
John Francis Cronin being angered nt the
coup of tho Improv oment Company, stro le ov er
the bridge. Tall, gaunt, and rod-whiskered ho
walked Into the Caffroy camp. Mr. C.iffrev still
retains tbe bir privileges on the beach. Jamoc
Hlckey is the bartender. Mr. Cronin expressed
his anger forcibly, directing hla remarks at Mr.
Cnffrey. Finally Bartender Hickcy said to bit
cmployor:
"Say, dot feller don't look as dongh he gltt
enough feat. I t'lnk he's hungrvnow."
Cronin heard the remark. Thero followed Inl
ine (lately a two round scrap between him and
tbe bartender. Round ono favored Cronin Tho
bartender pulled out of the clinch with two
black eyes. Next thero were two wild rushes.
In which nothing but chairs nnd tables were
damaged. Then, as tho vision of Bartender
Hlckey cleared, he drew back his right arm and
punched Mr. Cronin in tho solar plexus.
Mr. Bishop, who had arrived, took his partner
by the arm. and when Mr. Cronin had recovered
his wind Mr. Bishop led him away. Now Mr.
Donahue has begun dispossess proe codings
against the ferry owners, but ns the action can
not be tried fo' twenty dnyB It is of little inter
est. Tho season will be oil but over then.
