persistent work. Twenty on* seotlons
of th# uniformity agreement were
thoroughly dleontaed and adopted.
The best of feeling prevailed
throagbont th* meetings, the only ex
oeptloii being th* bolting of Ool. Rend
at yesterday's session. Just previous
to ad j mm mm t, however, Judge
Owens announced Ool. Rend bad
authorized him to state that any
agreement of tha oonfaranoa would
raoalva his hearty oooparatlon and be
would sign It If 95, 50 or even 25 per
cent of th* operators were slnoer* In
their eanotlon of It.
The oonferenoe appointed a oommlt-
taa of flv.: W. P. DsArmltt, J. B

aided by the Ohio board of arbitration.
Whan the requisite number of slgoa-
tnroa have beeo secured another meet-
ing will ba bald to ratify tha agree

The agraamant as adopted provides
for a ossh payment of wages, 2000

Tha operators with few exoeptlons
want It dlatlnotly understood th*
passage of so agreement whereby all
operstoia are to adopt a similar sys-
tem and pay tha same relative prlot
for mining baa nothing to do with the
great strike. They wish the miners to
disabuse tholr minds of any snoh

The operators have also shat oat
minors’ leaders from taking any part
In oonferanoas that may take plaos
through questions arising between
operator* and miner* by assertlog a

MARYLAND DEMOCRATS
A Convention Celled to Op.n the Cam-
paign (or S.n.tir,
Baltimore, Jnly 28—Tha Democra-
cy of Maryland assembled In conven-
tion nominally to seleot candidates for
comptroller and clerk of the oourt of
appeals, hat eotaslly to open a cam
palgn that will decide who shall bs the
next Uaitid States senator.
The convention was wall attended
and tha controlling spirit was plainly
Senator Girman, whose recaption
showed be hae a firm bold on tha rank
and fits of bis party.
George A. Dsakvne, jnst before the
convention assembled, In the Interest
of harmony, withdraw as a candidate
for governor, and State Sanator Tboe.
A Smith, German oandldate, la elated
for the nomination.
The platform was the subject of
mnoh consideration among party lead-
ers, whose efforts ere directed toward
securing a onrranoy plank that will
prevent a breach bstwaan gold and
silver advooatae.
Ool. Baoben Bohley, temporary
ohalrman. la a brief address asserted
that tbs Republican party having en-
acted all onrranoy laws now on tbs
statute books, was alons responsible
for the present oondltton of affairs.
All for Oofidad.
Baltimore, July 28—Harmony of the
old fashlonsd kind prevailed at the
Demooratlo state convention here to-
day. It waa olearly demonstrated that
United States Senator Gorman still
has a hand on the lever that controls
tha movements of tha organlz ttlon
Candidates nominated by tha conven-
tion wars selected by him, and the ra
eolation* adopted ware of his Inspira-
tion. As ohalrman of the oommltte*
on resolutions he read the platform
and read It in snoh a way ae to Indloita
ho knew It almost without looking at
It. At his suggestion, one oandldate
for comptroller withdrew when his
nomination seemed aesured, and an-
other was taken np by th* oonventloD,
and at hla request both gold and silver
man waived oonvtjtlons for ono* and
voted lo adopt a platform that de-
clares for bimetallism but Is silent as
to the vital question of "ratio."
Tha following state ticket was nom
(noted: Fjr comptroller, Thomas A
Smith of Carolina oouuty; for clerk of
the oiur' of appeals, J Frank Ford of
St. Marys county.

Ottawa, Out., Jnly 88—At a meat
log of ministers last evening, Minister
Patterson was authorized to send two
more onatom? officers to the Alaskan
boundary by th* Islander, whloh sails
for th* north tomorrow. Tho officers
will betaken from tha Vlotorla onstom
boas*, end will bs sooompanled by a
ooople of provtnolal polios. They will
open stations, as ontports of Vjotorla,
beyond the head of th* Lynn oanBl,
whloh la In disputed territory, and at
present In th* United 8’atas posses.
■Ions, and at Like laglsh. Thera Is a
oollaotor at Fort Oudaby, only fifty
miles from Dawson Olty, and these
arrangamsnts, backed np by a strong
foioaof polios, ar* considered ample
for proteotlon of the revenue just now
Tha greatest question of all Is one
of oommunloatloa. Is Is reported that
a paok trail exists twenty of tha eighty
miles wnloh separates tbs ooast from
the first post to be established at sixty
degrsts latitude In undisputed British
territory It so a narrow gangs rail-
way oan ba built where there Is a paok
train. Th* ooet would not ba great,
and If oars oonld bs healed twlos a day
over the mountains faolng the ooast i
tremendous obataol# would be over
oome. Beoans* In winter It la Impoi
•Ibis to oro.s the mountralns except
at the risk of Ufa, and to ba oanght In
a storm would ba fatal.
Th* mounted polio* force will be In-
creased from 20 to 100, Thomas Faw
oett will be continued as gold oom-
mlaeloner and tha regulation* already
adopted, amandsd. A strong customs
and polios post will bs established jnst
north of the British Oolnmbla boun-
dary, beyond the head of Lynn oanal,
at 60 degreea latitude. Eitlmatea will
also be obtained of the ooet of building
a wagon road, and of a narrow gang*
to this post In tha mountains, a dla-
tauoe of 70 to 80 miles, about 40 of
whloh Is over the mountains. This
post, whloh will bs where the Ohliooot
and White passes tha Oonosrge, will
oommend tbe soathern entrances to
the whole territory. Mounted polios
poets will be established here at a dla-
tanoe of 50 miles apart, np to Fort
Selkirk These will be need to open
np a winter road, over whloh monthly
malls will he sent by dog trains.
If possibles telegraph Hue w ll be
oonetrnoted over th* monntalns from
tb* head of Lynn oanal to tb* first

Oonsent of the authorities of th*
United States will be asked In diplo-
matic correspondence to a modnt

tory from Lynn oanal to (be first
mounted polio* post. No difficulty Is
antlolpatsd In seonrlng right of way
through the little ptsoe of disputed
territory th* road* and telegraph line
would have to oroea to reach the heed
of Lynn oenal, alt hough that territory
Is now In the Ualted States posse-
