ing the weather yesterday.
1t seems that the great success of
an Arctic expedition, consists not in
finding anything, but in being found
Boomerang.
Highest temperature yesterday, 80;
lowest, 15o; highest velocity Of wind AZ
miles per hour, north west at 10 a. M.
Snow fall not enough to measure.
Yesterday was a quiet day in police
business but lively enough for all prac-
tical purposes otherwise. Colorado
got a large quantity of our loose soil
before night.
Guiteau put in a long resume of his
case yesterday, but as 1t is merely a re-
petition of what has been oft repeated
before, 1t Is omitted from the telegraph
ic report Of yesterdays trial.
The Laramie, North Park and Yves
tern r. r.. has transferred its rights
and privileges to the Greeley, Salt Lake
and Pacific r. r. the the transfer
having taken place Monday.
or course you have in your minds
eye the masquerade ball and concert
which is to occur at the Inter Ocean on
Monday evening next. 1t is under
stood that there will he a large atten-
lance from Laramie City.
The pioneers of Sherman held a
Christman reunion at that why up
burg and organized a permanent pio-
neer's association to hold;its next meet
ing a year from the 18th inst at Sher-
man. There was qouite an attendance
and an enjoyable time.
The boomerang feels considerably
chopped up because the Laramie Times
men each received three pounds of link
sausage Christmas. There is nothing
hoggish about 1t however and 1t is
meat that the local should Barrow no
trouble but season this opportunity of
showing good ''grase."
Senator Rollins has introduced a bill
fixing the tenure of the office OF internal
revenue collectors at four years. At
present internal revenue collectors are
not bound by statutory limitations as
TO their incumbency. 1t is evident
that II Senator Rollins bill should be-
come a law the commissions Of at least
three-fourths of the internal revenue
collectors would expire by the Both of
June next.
The present Guiteau farce will be an
expensive one, as see the following:
The witness fees paid by the govern
ment in the Guiteau case will be about
$4,000. The greatest sum paid to any
witness was the payment made to-day
to Mrs. Annie (Guiteau) Dunmine and
her husband, who were summoned from
Leadville. Each received Of the
marshal 1924 80. The husband having
been summoned as well as the wife, the
whole sum paid was $46S. 70.
The Philadelphia evening Telegraph
says: st is estimated by well informed
business men that there is at least $780,
000, 900 Of capital in Philadelphia to-
day seeking investment. A well known
banker, who has organized a number Of
s~yndicates, stated to a Telegraph repre-
sentative that he could go upon the
street and in half an hour, by present
ing favorable investment, get up a sub
scription of So, zoo, 900. Capital, he said,
was not particular in what 1t was
placed, only that a fair return could be
shown. People were wild for s~pecula-
tIoE and accepted anything good.
Money, too, he said, brought a small
return in the regular channels, and
quick terms could be best made outside.
Coal and iron properties at this time
seemed to be favorites for Investments,
and considerable money had recently
been put in slate lands.
The new Chinese minister will be re-
ceived by the president next Sunday.
The new minister is about So or go
years of age, of rather portly build, and
has a very intelligent countenance.
Exchanges say he comes of a noble
family, and most Of his life has been
passed in public service. He has held
many high positions in his native
country, among which was that of col
lector of customs of Tien Tsin. At
present he occupies the position of min
ister to Spain, minister to Peru and
minister to the United States. 1t is his
intention to visit each of these countries
once a year. Cheng Tsao Ju is the
highest in rank of any Chinaman who
has ever before visited this country, be-
ing an ambassador of the highest or first
degree. His wife is quite attractive,
having a very fair complexion and
back hair and eyes. She is small in
stature and apparently about twenty
five years of age. The Chinese consul
general to Cuba, Ian Leong Yuen, is
at the Arlington, having went there for
the purpose of paying his respects to
the newly appointed minister.
