POLICY SHOPS RAiDED.

Temporary setback to Open violation OF
Law In Denver.
Ed. Chases Colorado Policy Asso-
citation, root and branch, was gathered
in by the police yesterday afternoon,
says the Denver Ne,es. Fifteen policy
shops were raided and sixteen proprie-
tors were compelled to either give
bond at the police station or remain
inside behind the bars. OF course all
gave bond.
Chase, it is claimed, has twenty FIVE
policy venders, each Of whom is given
two books each day. There are two
drawings daily and the vendors receive
20 per cent. of the receipts. The
books each make an average Of IS a
drawing, the total receipts being about
*400, Aside from the policy business
the lottery tickets sell like hot cakes
and the amount that is daily extracted
from the public cannot easily be esti-
mated.
The lottery business alone, conduct
ed in tho joints is quite extensive and
shows that the United States mails are
being used for such purposes notwith-
standing the stringent laws against the
sending Of lottery matter. The eyes
of the people were opened to the fact
that a number of big lottery companies
find fruitful field in the Denver pub
lie, The principal companies repre-
sentcd by the Denver firms, as shown
by tickets confscated were: The
Louisiana Lottery company of Kansas
City, New York, San Francisco and
Montreal, the Loteria Benefccncia
Publica, City of Mexico; the Little
Mexico Lottery, the Honduras Lot
terry, the Little Louisiana Lottery and
the Havana Lottery.

train was the through California e1-
press and carried large amount Of
mail. Over 200 sacks Of papers and
about 20 sacks of letters and other
first class mail was consumed, together
with the car. The mail was all for
California points, The FIRE is supposed
to have caught from the engine short
ly after the train left La Juuta, as the
car was inspected, as is the custom, be-
fore leaving there, and no FIRE or hot

CHINA AND JAPAN.

Corsa-

Prospect that they Will Wage War Over
Corsa-
Indications are that China and
Japan will soon be at war. The cause
of the contention is Corea. This little
country on a peninsula northeast of
China has heretofore been tributary
to the celestial empire, but has claimed
to be independent. Its government is
so bad that numerous revolutions have
taken place, the last one being very
serious. Japan sent few troops over
to protect her citizens who are very
numerous in Corea and who control a
large part Of the business Of the coun-
try. This move was followed by the
ending of troops by China. Japan
proposed to China that the two unite
in recognizing the Corean govern
ment. This request China will not
accede to. Late dispatches state that
Corea offers to let japan make the
changes desired If she will first with
draw her troops. Japan declines this
offer as she believes it to be inspired
by China.
Both China and Japan are preparing
to send more troops into Corea and to
wage war against each other. The
Chinese arc particularly active.
China has slight advantage in her
navy and tremendous preponderance
of soldiers,

Disa fYs c ted Catholic Poles.

A call has been issued to the diraf-
fccted and disorganized Catholic Poles
of this country by Father Kolassewski,
the pastor, and other officers of the
newly organized and Independent
Catholic church Of Cleveland. The
call invites not only Poles but all who
are dissatisfied, not with the Catholic
faith, but with the government of the
church Of rome, to send delegates to
the convention. The primary object
is to organize national Polish church
on the lines as indicated in the declara-
ton of principles published by the Sc
ceders from st. Stanislaus church,
which denies the authority Of episco-
pal supcriors to interfere in anything
but spiritual matters. The seceders
also claim for the members Of the 30
ciety the right to read whatsoever they
choose without consulting priest or
bishop.
& Another point Of radical departure
is contained in the declaration in favor
of giving parents the option Of sending
their children either to the public or
parochial schools.

While Jim Burrell, Charles Heal,
Robert Henry and Frank Whitsell,
ranging from IA to 16 years old, were
wading hip deep in Argo lake, near
Denver, during the storm Tuesday, a
bolt of lightning struck in their midst
Burrell was killed instantaneously and
sank into the mud at the bottom Of
the lake. Robert Henry as felled to
his hands and knees, partially para
lyzed but managed to crawl to the
shore, Heal and Whitsell also felt the
shock, but their injuries were SO
slight that they experienced little diff
fculty in wading to the bank.

string to install the electric light on
some of their vessels. sent for their en-
gincer, and told him he must carry out
the work. He confessed that he knew
nothing about electric lighting, but
was told TINT he would be held respou-
sible for the proper execution of the
work. The result was that several
ships were lighted In rough-and
tumble way, and electric lighting plants
were installed, and the firm considered
that they had done rather clever
thing In thus avoiding the expense Of
an expert. In case like this, the en-
gineer receives bids from number Of
firms, and usually gives the contract to
the lowest bidder. He does not know
bad work from good, and II he meets
with an unprinciplcd contractor, 80
much the worse for the safety chances
of the ship and crew. There IRE many
points on which the maximum EN-.
cheney of a ship lighting depends, such
as the methods Of running the circuits,
arranging the plants, etc, and 1t has
advisetlly been pointed out that as
many firms are committed to special
systems of ship lighting the indcpend-
ent opinion of professional man Is
highly desirable.

A Great Loss to the Cripple Creek
The Rosebud mill at Cripple Creek,
one Of the most complete gold ore re-
duction works in the country, was en-
tirely destroyed by fire a little after 6
o'clock Monday morning. The loss
will reach fully $3.50, 900. The plant
was owned almost entirely in France.
1t had only just been put in fine
running order and it was predicted
that it would at once prove highly
profitable investment, 1t was equipped
with 30 stamps, Gilpin county bump
ers, FIVE vanners, amalgamating pairs
and settlers roasters. A complete
plant for treating ores by cyanide and
also included sampling mill. The
Rosebud was insured in California
companies for $50, 900.
The owners Of the Rosebud also
owned the Deerhorn property on Globe
hill. The mill was located at Mound
City near the junction Of Squaw and
Cripple creeks, and cost in round fig

by committee Of citizens who
showed them that their cause was now
hopeless and persuaded the men to try
to get back while there was yet a
chance.
The military will probable remain
two or three days yet to look after a
few hot heads who have been intimi-

The Southern Pac iiic officials stated
that they would employ, in addition
to those now in the service and the
men coming under engagement, such
men as may be needed in train and
other service who have not during the
strike willfully damaged railroad prop
erty or forcibly prevented its employees
from performing their usual and regu-
lar duties; each case to be considered
separately aud upon individual appli-
cation and to be disposed of according
to the merits Of the applicant.
An affidavit has been prepared by
the Southern Pacific to be signed by
employees desiring reinstatement de-
claring that the affiant has resigned
his membership in the American Rail
way Union and promising that he will
never again join that organization;
second, that he will not for term Of
five years join any union or brother
hood; third, that he will not become
of any labor organization dur

Governor says VIII ne
Opened Again.
Governor Tillman Of South Carolina
has issued proclamation re-opening
the dispensaries on August l. He
says that he is determined to enforce
the law more vigorously than ever.
The governor explained his position,
saying the decision against the consti-
tutionality of the law was due to the
political prejudices Of the Supreme
Court He said that their decision
did not affect the act Of 1893, the nec-
essary enforcement OF which has
ceased since April II, when the de-
cision was pronounced. He appears
to take it for granted that Justice elect
Gray, who succeeds Justice McGowan
on July 90, is settled in his opinion as
to the laws validity. Gray was presi-
dent of the state senate when the law
was passed and assisted in its enact
ment.
The governors proposed action
causes the greatest anxiety. His op-
ponents construe it as setting at def
ance the states highest tribunal.
Many who previously joined in the eff
fort to render the law ineffective now
say it is fight between Tillman and
the grog shop keepers and will keep
hands off.
