The Situation at Denver.

DENVER, March 2.-The situation Of the
Burlington to-day is unchanged, this com.
pany sending out but one train a day, and
that the local mail. They are making no
attempt to get Eastern business, and will
not guarantee anything. General Agent
Crosby said this evening that while the
road was doing some business on Eastern
lines he could give no idea as to when they
would begin serving freight or through pas
senger business in this city. They had a
train in at 100 this morning consisting OF
six cars. The engine was run by q man
named Jeffries, who, some railroad men said,
was found on a ranch near McCook. The
same train was sent out at 10 O'Clock
this forenoon. with two local mails and
about fifteen passengers. The afternoon
train from Chicago is reported about three
hours late, and is said to be the through
Kansas City and Omaha mail. Gillen. the
photographer, who took a train out Wed
nesday, burned the engine so badly it had
to be side tracked at McCook, in a ruined
condition. Company officials deny that
any OF Pinkerton's men are employed by
them on the Colorado division. At the
committee rooms OF the Brotherhood TO-
day some very encouraging kilograms were
received from Chicago and Omaha, and the
strikers express themselves confident OF
ultimate success.

REJECT THE TRuST

The Senate Committee OF the New York
Legislature is investigating the subject OF
trusts, and has elected a mass OF unwill-
ing testimony as to the gigantic power
lodged in the hands OF these trusts, the ex-
tent OF their ra%mifeations and the relent-
less way they crush out opposition. Among
them all none Yields such despotic power

with headquarters at Denver. Its policy,
wherever it has worked to secure the field
to itself, has been to undersell the existing
corporations until they were obliged to sell
out to it when, having a monopoly of the
field, it could and does impose what prices
it pleases. This community has been the
scene OF it's selfish endeavors to control the
field absolutely. It entered into o contest

THE THREATENED DANGER

At the meeting OF the Silver Bow COM
mittee OF the Montana Mineral Land As
ISOLATION held ON Thursday night, Chair
man Trask is reported to have announced,
in substance, chat means should be taken
to have the people Of Silver Bow County
comprehend thoroughly the occasion of the
organization OF the Nj. M. L. A. and the
necessity for contributing funds for the
purpose OF protecting the mineral
lands of the United States grant
to the Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany from being conveyed by patent to
that organization" 1t is hardly to be sup
posed that there are any interested in these
lands who are ignorant of the steps which
that corporation is now taking to secure
mineral lands in it's grant OF alternate Sec
lions for forty miles on each side OF it's right
OF way. Nearly every one realizes thai all
the mineral and in the mountainous region
OF Montana is ieopardized, and that it is to
prevent such mineral land being patented
to the road that the Montana Mineral
Land Association was organized, and has
apportioned among a number OF commit
tees in each county the work OF locating
the mineral leads and claims, besides fur
richness underlying the surface all over
this section. 1t is equally certain that
there are few who are unaware Of the fact
that should the sections in question he
patented to the road, the latter cal then
demand from holders OF mines
and nrOanopfa who oan not
show a patent to their claims whatever the
company see fit to exact 1t is also unlikely
that anyone aware Of these facts cannot
fail to realize the urgent necessity for the
defensive work undertaken by the Montana
Mineral Land Association being prosecuted
to completion theoretically and with the
least delay. Certain preliminary steps
have been taken by the Northern Pacific.
They have had certain sections surveyed
and certified to them for patent which will
issue unless the M. NJ. L. A. can get their
proofs before the General Land Office in
time. Therefore no delay can be afforded
in sending in proof to the department at
Washington that such lands are not eligi-
BILE to patent to the road. But this re-
quires money. There are surveys to make
and evidence to collect and means are ar
absolute necessity to the furtherance of
the plans OF the M. M. L. A. Next Monday
the committees appointed will begin can
wasting on the districts assigned to them
in Silver Bow County. They want $4,000
from this county, and considering the valu-
able prospects developed and developing in
this county, should have no trouble in OBJ
tanning the amount in less than a week.
Remember that all unpatented land is now
in danger OF becoming the property OF the
Northern Pacific, and that the sooner the
evidence is collected that the land of Silver
Bow County is especially Of a mineral de-
scription, nj therefore exempt from
patent, and this proof forwarded to Wash
ington, the less possibility is there OF it's be-
ing patented to the railroad company.

A Tennessee Bridegroom.

Down at Flat Creek, in this state, says
the Nashville (Tenn.) American, there was,
a few years ago. a couple who were en-
gagged to be married. The time was set and
all was made ready. The time was about
up, and the preacher. asked the young man
where his license was. The fellow said: II
thought the preachers had the license" As
the town was near by where the license
could be obtained, the wedding came off,
and things vent on all right till bed time,
when something was said about it being

AN AMBITION DISAPPOINTED

The truth has leaked out at last. Unser
Fritz's days are numbered. He cannot live
many months more-perhaps not many
weeks. He will never wear the crown as
Emperor OF Germany. Even his father,
aged man that he is, who has outli we'd the
span OF life fifteen years and whose framei s
weakened by age, has a better hold on life
than the Crown Prince. He has made his
will and handed over to his son and heir
the crown he will never wear. All this,
though suspected all along ever since he
went to San Reno, is inexpressibly sad to
realize now that the truth a no longer be
withheld. The Emperor has been prepared
to hear the worstyat any moment. And so
it comes to pass that Victoria's daughter
will never be crowned Empress OF Germany.
This will be a bitter blow to both Victoria
and her daughter. But in truth it is better

ROME, March 2.-To-day was observed
as the anniversary OF the coronation Of
the Pope. His holiness received the con
gratulations OF the Sacred College, Cardi-
nal Sacconi, dean Of the college, delivering
an address. The Pope replied in an ami
mated speech. He lamented more than
ever his position, which, he said, was I'm
bearable. He declared that if the Italian
Government did not prohibit the jubilee
fetes, it was in it's own interest; that it
acted not from any feeling OF respect for
the Holy See. The Catholic world must be
aware of the situation. No arrangement
with the Government was possible until
the independence OF the Pope was restored.
