Slaughter OF Gamc.

Tourists from the mountains arriving at
the union depot announce that the hunting
regions Of the state are we'll filled with hunt
ers, and the crack of the rife is heard al
most constantly during the day. The hard
times have driven many men to lay In vim
ter supply Of meat and the game Is being
killed at o rate never before known in Colo
rado. The streams are lined with fishermen,
who are bagging the trout at an amazing rate.
1t Is claimed that gangs Of men are depredat-
ing the streams by means of selnes and are
selling the fish In this city in violation of
law. A gentleman stated yesterday that
three men from the region Of Hot Sulphur
Springs, on the Grand River, nrc camped near
Colfax, at the outskirts of the city, having
come across the mountains with two wagon
loads Of trout, which the hotels OF the city
arc taking up at 81 cents a pound. One Of
the men is said to be hotel keeper Of Hot
Sulphur Springs. A third wagon load of
trout is expected to arrive Mt the camp to-day
or tomorrow. The usc Of the seine is strictly
prohibited by law and the representative of
the state game warden was yesterday notified
Of the presence Of the law-breakers.-Rocly

ROBBED BY PRIVATE CITIZENS.
Such Ia tho Finding of tho Minnesota
Land Investigating Committee.

Such Ia tho Finding OF tho Minnesota
Land Investigating Committee.
The Minnesota pine land Investigating
committee made some startling discoveries
during its sitting on the 1st and end. The
session was an executive one, but Chair
man 1gnatius Donnelly made public some OF
the findings. He said:
"Thc State has been robbed Of millions Of
dollars by some of its prominent citizens.
Some OF the robbcries are Of the most sur
prising character. Logs have been stolen by
wholesale, without prctext Of title to owner
ship. We have found ono case where the
State OF Minnesota was paid for coo, 900 fect
OF lumber and the quantity Of lumber actu-
ally taken from the tract measured over O.
600, 900 feet. The committee has taken steps
for still more diligent investigation In the
near future, and we hope to be able to turn
over to the government and attorney general
plenty OF evidence to secure prosecutions aud
for the recovery Of large sums due tho state
In addition to this, our investIg atoms have
forced many men to pay over large amounts
Of money which the state would have proba-
bly, never otherwise have received. In ono
case tho committee had information that
large number of logs had been cut on school
sections and no report had been made to the
state auditor. They thereupon ordered ono
Of their experts TO scale the stumps and tops
and to ascertain how much lumber had boen
taken from tho sectious In question. He
started out September z; thrco days after
ward he was visited while at work by two
men, and three days later on September 10,
q lumberman reported that nearly o million
feet had been taken from the sections, for
which he paid the state over O. 900. 1t is tho
belief Of the committee that II tho expert had
not been at work on that section the state
would never have received q cent of that
money. We believe the work Of the commit
tee will In this way force and intimidate
thieves and plunderers and thereby save the
state hundreds of thousands OF dollars.'

THE PROSPECT FOR HARD TINES.
A PANIC PRoPHEsIED.
Morton Proven Says It Will Happen In

Morton Proven Says It Will Happen In
London Speedily.
AWashlngton special gives an interview with
Morton Frewen, the English bi-metallist. who
is now a guest of one Of tho members Of the
British legation. Mr.. Frewen says:
"If the price Of silver bullion falls, az ex-
pect will be the case, that drags down the cx-
change rates with the Far East, which are al
ready at the swapping point and we shall
have panic In London before the new year,
panic you would feel In every corner Of this
continent"
"Then you don't favor the view that the
repeal OF tho act will bring buying orders
from London to Wall street"
"No, London will be a seller for long time
to come. We arc in great trouble In Austria
lin and In India. Our export trade with
China, Singapore and South America Is al
ready paralyzcd by the fall In the rates of sill
yer exchange. London has been praying that
you would stop your silver purchases, think
Ing that then your stock market may recover,
that she may send you home your securities
realized at higher prices. We arc In no posi-
tion to buy. The great English manufactur-
ing fortunes have suffered terribly. Whom
we in England have financial troubles, times
are bad and prices are depressed, SO that your
exports to London fall of, and your imports
remaining the snn,e, gold leaves you. To
borrow gold in England and to bring 1t hero
inevitably turns the balance Of trade against
this country. 1t would turn 1t even in tho
face of great harvest, so that the gold be-
gins to flow back again on the nearest ship.
Austria is trying to get gold and hold It in
this way. Weckherle, her finance minister,
Is an Intelligent man, but knows nothing
whatsoever about the theory of foreign ex-
changes. Mr.. Goschen told him three years
since that, while Austria could borrow gold,
she could never keep 1t except under lock and
key, aud 1t Is still under lock and key, but
gold is already Mt a premium In the dual mon
archy Unlock the treasury doors and 1t
will disappear at once, and you here will dis
cover also that, with wages and prices In Eng
land falling by leaps and bounds, to try to
bring British gold hero Is merely to pour
water In O selve."

AN EXTRA SESSION.

Governor Waite Hasn't Yet Made mp his
Mind on tho Subject.
In an interview with n reporter for tho
Denver Republican on the 4th Governor Waite
stated his ideas regarding the matter Of call
ing an extra session of the legislature Us
follows:
'sOn this question of an extra session of the
legislature there ought to be no doubt Of my
position. I expressed my intention before
went East last summer Of calling the Legis-
lnture together In certain contingencies. l
said then that II the Sherman act was re-
pealed without relief clause, and the effect
was to destroy the silver production Of tho
state, that would call tho legislature to-
gcther.
81 cannot say when shall call an extra
session. II there is need Of such a step shall
not, at least, call 1t on less than two weeks
notice. The responsibility Of calling special
session is great, and we must first realize the
imperative need Of such a step, and the first
thing look to will be the effect Of the repeal
Of the Sherman not 1t must in my judgment
reduce the price of bullion silver, and our
mines will close down In consequence. It
will not take many days to prove this, and
when that Is proven I shall issue the CALL"
"What, governor, is now your attitude to-
wards the bullion schemea" was asked.
81 do not think so highly of that idea as do
many men. There may be merit in it and,
mind you, do not say there is not; but
cannot thi nix 1t so good as many men seem to
regard it."
"Will you take up the question of public
work, as, for instance, the 81 200, 600 canall"
"No, think not. In my call 1 must map
out all the legislature must pass upon. There
ID work to be done, and 1t must be done
quickly, but to crowd my call with lot Of
stun would be to have nothing dono. In my
present frame Of mind shall not think of
taking up the question OF the state canal"
He added that he doubted the constitutional
ity Of . stay law, II 1t should be passed.

The experimental ground was heavy clay
soil which had been well fertilized the year
previous Each variety occupied one row, SS
feet long, and the rows were three feet apart,
with distance of about eighteen inchea be-
tween the hills. The seed had all been csss.
fully selected and each variety had receiver
one cultivation, one hoeing and six irriga-
tions. There were a number Of potato grow
crs newspaper men md visitors present to
witness the result. Work was begun at ono

this row was shorter by 13 feet than any of
tho others-being 10 feet long. VIII 10 all
others were IS feet. One hill Of these Wis

which weighed nine pounds, while we saw
pulled by the tops several plants of the Agrl-
cultural seedlings No. Is, each of which
weighed seven pounds-exclusive Of those

Mr. Swan planted the first IS rows of these
potatoes on May 12-the remainder going in
the ground later. Had Mr.. Swan given this
experimental crop the same attention he gave
his sale crop there Is no doubt lie would nave
secured a better yield; but as the lowest yield
exclusive of the sport of tho Mammoth
Pearl, which was simply planted "for the fun
Of it,") was 1876 bushels to the acre, and the
highest was 79S bushels to the acre, those
present believe that Mr.. Swan has practically
proven that land adjacent to Loveland can
produce potatoes against the world.

IMPORTANT COLORADO NEWS.
SUICIDE OF JUDGE sYMEs.
Tho Ex-Congrcss man Yields to Despond-
ency Caused by Poor Health
and Takes His Life.

and Takes His Life.
Ex-Congrcssman George G. Symes COM
mitted suicide at Denver on the night of the
3rd by shooting himself through the head.
The announcement OF his rash net caused uni
versal surprise and regret in the city, and II
was hard to understand his reason for taking
his life.
A combination Of causes led to his tragic
death. These were chronic affection OF the
right lung, insomnia aud worry over business
troubles, which Judge symes much magni-
fed. The lung trouble probably had Its orI.
gin In q wound he received during the civil
war. He enlisted in the Union army at the
first drum tap, and served through the entIro
war. At the battle of Atlanta, Georgia, on
July %, 1854, Judge Symes was shot through
the right side, the bullet penetrating the
lower lobe of his lung. This caused disease
that has clung to him ever since, and lately
his health has been bad. In a note which he
left addressed to his wife, he said that he had
congestion of the brain and 1t is supposed
that he was suffering fiom excessive pain
when he killed himself.
Mrs. symes has been living in Massachu-
setts for over year, as she has been ordered
to do 50 by her physician on account of her
health.
George Clifford Symes was born in Ashtab-
ula, Ohio, In 1840. He had n common school
education, and on attaining years of maturity
read up for the legal profession. While 80
engaged the war of tho rebellion broke out
and he went to the front. After the war Mr..
symes returned to Ohio aud took up the pro-
fession Of law. Shortly afterwards he re-
moved to Wisconsin, where, in 1865 he made
the race for Congress and was defeated. Four
years later he was appointed associate justice
Of Montana by President Grant. In 1870 he
resigned his seat upon the bench and re-
sumed the practice of law; four yeats later
he came to Denver, where he has resided
since.
y Judge symes served In Congress from 1884
to 1885,
In January, 1886, he made speech in Con-
gress on behalf of silver that was extensively
quoted from In the late fight in Washington.
1t was deep, prophetic, calculating, and wor-
thy statesman. Later he was instrumental
In getting bill passed providing for the sur
vey Of tho arid lands of the West, and tho se-
lection Of storage reservoirs to aid their rec
lamatIon by increasing the quantity of water
for their irrigation.

Tho Colorado Farmer of October Goth gives
an interesting account of some experiments
made by J. b. Swan, OF near Loveland, with

was anticipated, goodly number were pres

satisfactory each time it is used. AT
first the buzzing sound was a draw
back, but that was merely due 70 the

that it will be exceedingly cheaper than
