DENVER, Col, May 17-For years it has
been no secret that the municipal admins
tration Of this city has been the most cor
rupt on earth. The affairs of every depart
ment, with possibly one exception, to-
gether with both houses of the city govern
ment, have been under the control of gang
of men whose only object in life was
personal profit. Should any electric light,
water or railway corporation desire to
secure valuable franchise the first ques-
ton asked them was, chow much money
can you put up?" and it is needless to add
that the franchise was always granted. 1t
has been charged, and as yet never denied,
that the price of an alderman or council
man before the present board was sworn in
was only $1,000 upon any subject. Efforts
We're made on several occasions to change
this state of affairs, but the gang had so
tight hold upon the police and water
forces and the ward primaries that al at
tempts to depose them were futile.
Last April, however, Il revo-
luton visited the city, and
the result of the municipal election was
the election of new set of officials from
the mayor down to the constables.
An investigation was at once commenced,
and the financial affairs of the city found to
be in deplorable condition.
1t has been discovered that between JAN
uary and April IA of this year there is a
deficiency of over S19, 900 in collected liquor
licenses it has also been discovered that
hundreds of saloons and houses of ill fame
have been permitted to run all night with
out licenses, they having paid certain
amount which has never been accounted
for and doubtlessly distributed among the
members of the ''rng'' Thirty of these
houses have already stated that they were
assessed $1,000 per annum.
The books of the city treasurer's Office
have been kept in most indifferent man
ner, in many instances the check and re-
ceipt books being wrongly numbered and
no record whatever kept of the receipts or
disbursements.
The committee now examining into tho
matter are of the opinion that $4,000 haS
been stolen from the city in this manner.

Correspondence of the Gazette.

Correspondence of the Gazette.
WAxAHACHIE, Ten, May 16.-Last night
about $50 quite an excitement was created
over report of a pistol On investigation
it was learned that Ike Arnold had shot at
his wife and probably would have killed
her had it not been that the pistol exploded,
blowing the barrel to pieces. Arnold is a
desperate character, and has driven his wife
to ruin by his disreputable conduct. He
has killed two men, one being his father-in-
law, but was acquitted in both cases. He
has been convicted number of times for
smaller offenses, and has been on the poor
farm for several months past working out
fines. He said while there that as soon as
his time was out on the farm he would kill
his wife. Last night he tried his hand, but
missed his mark, and is now in Jail and is
likely 10 work for the state awhile.

newspapers, especially those that usually
reflect the policy OF the government. are
significantly reserved ON the subject of the
future of Hawaii since the death of King
Kalakaua. No hint is thrown out OF British
purposes or hopes. or utierances given that
might arouse suspicion in America. There
IS, however, the very best authority for
stating that even before the death of the
king, England was preparing TO secure

In France a Thaw Has Set i'm After the
Terrible Cold of Weeks.

PARIS, Jan. pa Herald Cable AT last
thaw has arrived after the frost which
was the seyerest in eighteen years. and
none too soon, for never in the annals of
Paris since the war, was so much
misery known. For weeks an enor-
nous class, consisting of painters, brick
layers and gardeners, probably 50.0o0
people. have been unemployed. The vote
of 6,001 000 francs by the French govern
rnent did more TO popularize the govern
ment than could any other legislative act;
then came the appeal through the press,
and in two days the collections amounted
to 1900 francs. Market gardeners around
Paris are in despair; their crops are
totally ruined. The price of vegetables in
Paris makes them such a luxury that the
rich alone can afford them. The Seine's
ice shroud is radidly breaking up and
floating down stream. Dynamite and tugs
were used 10 break up the ice so as TO keep
il from carrying away many old, narrow
bridges.
A meeting of socialists was placarded by
red posters all over town early in the week,
called for Friday, in front of the opera
house. Had the frost continued, it
might have had show, but
with the thaw, men were more
anxious 10 gain square meal than
10 listen 10 empty talk. A few long-haired,
grubby individuals did meet, but the police
kept them moving 10 lively tune and the
thing was a fizzle.
The city of Arras is fooded, and in the
surrounding country great damage has
been done.
GETTIvJE, Jan. pa recent snow storm
in Montenegro caused great distress, and
in many districts the people are suffering
from famine. The mercury in some
places is II degrees below zero Fahrenheit.
In striking contrast Is the extreme mild
ness OF the weather on the shore of the
Adriatic. where flowers are blooming
BERLIN. Jan. "a general thaw set IN in
Western and Northern Germany, melting
the snow. and heavy rains are causing the
rivers TO rise rapidly. Reports from Cux-
haven state that the Elbe is entirely free
from ice.
ST. PETERSBURG Jan. pa terrific snow
storm prevailed recently in the southeast
ern portion of Russia. Whole villages and
numerous isolated houses are almost
buried in the snow. Railroad tracks
are useless, and the only COM
municafion Is IN sleighs. Numbers OF
people have been frozen TO death, and
il is feared that as the snow disappears
there will he further loss of life revealed
The city OF Charkov. capital of the govern
Inenf of Kharko OF kharkova, is so com
pletelv isolated that a famine is feared
among the poor. Charkov has 10000 in
