G. O. P. HOSTS AT DENVER.
The League Gathering Grows Bc-
yOnd Expectation.

(By Associated Press)
DENVER, June 25.-Fully 1,200 Repub-
licans are already here to attend the
meeting OF tho National Republican
League. and more are expected. Dele
cations came In yesterday from Iowa,
Utah. Nebraska. Kansas, Indiana, New
Mexico. Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky
and Tennessee.
The attendance bids fair to be much
greater than anticipated. The Indiana
people had engaged twelve rooms. but
their number was 80 great that forty
rooms were necessary, and some difficult
ty was found In securing comfortable
quarters.
The Iowa delegation attracted much at
tention as 1t marched to the Brown Pal
ace Hotel, headed by the Iowa State
Band. The delegation Is a large ona
and with 1t are all the State officers ex-
cept the Governor.
The people of Iowa are anxious that
the Republican Convention should be
held in Des Moines. and the delegates
have already begun operations in the
way Of winning delegates over to their
way OF thinking.
Colorado people are here in large num-
bers, but little work has been done so
far. The large attendance from the
silyer-producing section indicates that
the friends of the white metal are ready
for a vigorous campaign.

WHY CROKER RETURNS
Danger from the Sugar Trust In
vestigation Has Passed.
Suggestion that He Sailed to Get
Out Of the Jurisdiction.
Dazed Politicians Can Only Guess
What 1t All Really Means.

Politicians are as deeply puzzled over
the announcement of ex-Boss Crokers
unexpected return from Europe as they
were over his sudden departure. Cro-
ker's actions during the past month
have been a mystery to the Tammany
followers who are not in his confidence,
end those who know the secrets of the
n-the-box-movements of their for
mer chief keep the people guessing.
There have been so many contradic-
tory statements made by Croker and his
friends as to the real cause of his hasty
departure and return that 1t is doubt
full now If the people would believe the
real version of the affair IL it was made
public.
An entirely new theory was advanced
this morning. man prominent in
political affairs and who Is well in
formed on the politics of the city,
State and nation, said that 1t Is his
opinion Croker went to Europe not to
escape the Lexow Committee, but the
United States Senate Sugar-Investi-
eating Committee. 1t was understood,
according to this authority, that Cro-
ker's visits to Washington, which were
heralded to have been in the interest OF
the Tariff bill, were really made to in
fuence Senator's votes on the sugar
schedule In the interest Of the Sugar
Trust.
The same gentleman surmises that
Croker may have got wind that he
would be summoned to testify in the
sugar inquiry, and thereupon placed

end OF this week, and that he might re-
move the unfavorable feeling towards
him in the organization because he ran
away by coming back, but Tammany

anything further from Croker, and that
he had nothing further to say.
A report was started that Croker was
coming home to resume the leadership

AN AWKWARD MISTAKE.
1t Lea to o. BetrOthal Which Was
Happily Broken.

The world is full Of misunderstandings.
Now, a misunderstanding is an awk-
ward thing-the sort Of thing that some
times makes shipwrecks Of lives that
otherwise would sail smoothly enough
into the haven where they would be.
This Is the story of misunderstanding.
The very first time he saw her he said
to himself Now. there's the girl
should like to marry"
She was just his sort, but 1t was the
old story of the attraction OF opposites-
a story as old as the hills. He was big.
she was small; he was dark. she was
fair; he was quiet. she was lively; and
SO on, ad iniinitum. She certainly was
a very taking little girl, and she had a
pensive way of contemplating one with
her great blue eyes that was altogether

slmple-mnded as a child. Hitherto he
had never been in earnest about 81
woman, but he was in earnest now, and
1t was a sober, solemn, downright ear
nest. Henceforth there would be but
one woman in the world for him.
He would have liked to take her In
those great strong arms OF his and tell
her so, but such a course of action was
out OF the question, for she was engaged
to his old chum. Phil Marsden.
Now, Phil Marsden was the sort Of
man that lady novellsts describe as "one
OF fortunes favorites." In plain English,
he was good looking, we'll on. a thor
ough sportsman. good hand at all
games and popular with men and women
alike. A lucky mortal all around, but
1t never occurred to Bob TO envy his
friend until he saw Gwen Warrington.
Then a new. strange feeling stirred In
Bob's honest heart. 1t was not exactly
jealousy. but rather a wistful. patient
wonder why one fellow should have
all the luck and everything else, while
other fellows were left out in the cold.

Phil had lost his old genial spirits and
become moody and discontented. He
was always either in the clouds or
swearing at his luck. Gwen had
changed. too. Her manner had grown
tired and listless and there was a visit

It hurt Bob to see.
Poor old Bob! He could tell that some
thing was wrong, but he could not make
out what 1t was. though he puzzled that
honest head OF his until he thought he
was going to have brain fever. The
new look in Ovens eyes haunted him
1t was always in his thoughts in the
daytime, and It kept him awake at
night He felt impelled to do something
but what? That was the question.
At last, one day he found Gwen all by

fire, and that was the climax. He never
could bear to see a woman in tears. and

good deal together, Bob had splen-

Gwen gave Bo2 rnore waltzes than she
gave Phil. but the latter did not seem
to mind. and that, OF course. was rather

which was remarkable. for in an ordi-

He thought OF Ovens words after
