This letter is written not in anger,

If anything I may say or do can in

At Grand Junction.

Grand Junction, Colo, July A.
Especial. 1.-The Fourth of July here has
been replete with occurrences extra
ordinary owing to the Pullman tie-up.
The American Railway union was ap-
prised of the fact that deputies were
on the way from Denver, and when
communicated to the citizens a mass
meeting was called. The meeting was
Icalled to order in the real estate ex-
change, with J. B. Zane as chairman.
and after a few minutes adjourned to
meet at O'Clock in the city hall. At
that hour prompt the meeting was
called to order, and the objects stated.
Colonel Ketchum in a ringing speech
called for volunteers to repel the ..in-
vasion" of deputies from Denver and
said in part: 1--WE propose to draw
the line right here. Those who come
forward and sign their names and
stand by those men in their trouble
with the railroad companies will be
considered on the side of the laboring
man, and those who do not will be put
down on the side of the gold bugs, and
if you are in business here you will be
boycotted."
Fully half of the number present
signed the call, and it looked as
though force would be used to prevent
the deputies from carrying out the
orders of the court. But cooler heads
prevailed, and it was finally decided to
resort to more peacable methods, and
resulted in the appointment of a COM
mittee of seven to meet the captain of
the deputies and ascertain their mis-
sion here. The committee will meet
them without the town limits and in
wife them "to return from whence they
came, as they are not needed in Grand
Junction" The Pullman tie-up is
gaining ground here, and the men are
quiet and orderly.

SEA AND SAIL.
Yesterdays BncinG Was All In Ta-
vor of the Britannin-Thc Vigil
liant VIII BE Ready For Racing
Today.

Largs, Firth of Clyde, July 4-The
Britannia and Valkyrie contested today
IN the second regatta OF the Clyde rae
ing season, that of the Royal Western
Yacht club, for the Wewmess Bay prize
of ESQ.
A fine southerly wind was blowing as
the yacht crossed the line the Valkyrie
getting the wether berth. The course
was from Weymess bay around flag boats
off Largs and Mount, Steward house and
back to the starting line; three times
around, total distance, 40 miles
The Britannia weathered the Valkyrle
in going to windward, while making the
Largs mark, and increased her lead
speedily. The Prince of Wales cutter, at
the completion of the first round, was
three minutes ahead of Lord DunraYen' S
yacht. The Britannia maintained her
lead to the end, and won by seven min
utes. When the Britannia put about to
windward of the Valkyrie the Prince of
Wales cutter had hardly room enough,
and Captain Carter had considerable diff
Guilty in getting the Britannia around
the Valkyrie counter. AS it was, an ac-
cedent nearly occurred.
Today'S racing was all in favor of the
Britannia. She showed herself to be SUI
peror to her opponent in nearly every
point of sailing. The wind was south
erly turning to west and of fair strength.
The Santinita did not compete. She
sailed up the Clyde, however, under main
sails and jib.
Santinita Britannia, Valkyrie, Calunna
and Ivorna started. The Valkyrie finished
first IN 4:30:03; Ivorna was second in
4: $500. The Britannia sprung her mast;
The Calunna gave up the race owing to
the giving out of her port runner, and
the Satinita gave up tn race after the
second round.
and will, barring accidents, be ready for
racing tomorrow.

BAD BLAZE AT HUDSON.
Loss VIII Probably Reach Mil
lion.

Hudson. Mass. July 4.-Shortly before 4
o'clock this afternoon the most disastrous
fire this section has ever seen broke out
in Chamberlain's shoe factory, Woods
square.
When discovered, it had gained con
siderable Roadway, and with a strong
wind blowing the flames soon went be-
yond reach of the local firemen and spread
rapidly, the factory being destroyed with
in half an hour.
One cause for the rapid spread of the
fire is assigned to the explosion of several
barrels of oil.
Within an hour the flames had spread to
the Union depot, the public telephone Office
and Higgins shoe factory. The firemen
were helpless and assistance was sum-
moned from surrounding cities and towns.
The postoffice, with its contents, was
destroyed and the loss in this department
cannot be fixed.
Forty dwelling houses were destroyed
with their contents.
The firemen worked with a will, but
their efforts were in vain, and it was
finally found necessary to blow uD a
number of houses to save the town from
destruction.
The loss is estimated at between S75OOOO
and $1,00O,000, mostly insured.
