THE WAR IS OVER.

| The Governor OF Colorado Consent Ing
Ia submit 10 the Courts ~- a MestiHg
~ Prominent citizens Considers the
Question OF inlniring Into the chief
/ Executives sanity Gen. McSook's POSI-
tion.
DENVER. Col. March 10. Ate o'clock
this afternoon meeting Of prominent
men assembled in Caldwell Yeaman's
Office, on the fifth floor OF the BOSTON
block. 10 consider the advisahility 81
proceeding against the governor on
the question Of his sanity.
A committee was selected 10 call
upon Gen. McCook and find out what
he proposed 10 DO and another To look
up the lunacy laws. Both committees
are to report al $50 this evening The
question of lunacy is sprung solely for
the purpose of preventing the governor
from proceeding with the militia With
ont the advice of anyone. 1t Is an cx-
IRENE act, only 10 be attempted as a
last resort Hon Caldwell Neaman
was at the head of this matter.
During the day all sorts Of rumors
were sprung and the people were in a
constant state Of expectation. From
organized came the report that the
companies had assembled awaiting or
ders from the governor. The first in
dication that the cabinet at Washing
ton had met to consider the trouble
here was received by the nited Press
and quickly thrown out upon the
streets 10y extra editions.
The matter of arresting the gov
ernor for contempt of court was not
taken up.
Judge Graham said: II shall take
no action on the application made TO
me for writ Of attachment for GOV.
Waite for contempt unless there is
some change in the situation Unless
there is a new display of force AT the
city hall or somebody is hurt or some
other important change in the present
status of things occurs, the situation
does not call for action on my part.
The attorneys for both the old board
and the governor were firm in the POI
sition taken by them last night. To-
day neither side would recede an inch
and both parties claimed TO be right.
Members Martin and Orr. backed by
the police and the sheriff. were defiant
and declaredthat Gov. Waite could never
bluff them. The attorneys for the new
mem bers sent notice to them in the
afternoon that unless GOV. Waite
called nff the militia and consented to
legal steps through arbitration they
would withdraw from the ease. The
newspapers all condemn the governor.
The secret meeting of the represent
alive business men adjourned AT II
o'clock without arriving at any con-
clusion. During the meeting men
whose names are well known through
ont the land made excited speeches
recommending drastic measures. One
said he knew where guns could be OBJ
tanned 10 use in an attempt TO capture
the arnory and quench the ardor of
the militia.

THE CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE,
The History Of Which Dates Back Some
Weeks

The history Of this trouble dates
back some weeks, and was delayed be-
cause the governor preferred to wait
until the extra session was ended be-
fore he acted.
To understand the situation ii must
be known that some years ago the citi-
zens OF Denver asked the legislature
10 give them Il new charter that would
take the police. fire ana public works
departments out 81 the hands of
The municipality and then put it in the
hands OF boards otiicered by appoint
ments made BY the governor 1t was
believed that this would result in re.
moving the matter from the corruption
of politics.
The Governors Political Ambition.
Gov Waite had shown a desire to
make these departments subserve his
political ambitions, and mas tried 10
make all Of them political boards filed
with populist followers
The board of fire and police has been
changed often 10 suithis whins. Some
members resisted, but The governor
won his case before the supreme court.
which declared that he could remove
them for cause. When he demanded
the removal of members Martin and
Orr, recently. they refused TO 70. Gov.
Waite, relying OF. the decision Of the
supreme court in the first case. did not
ask of the courts how to proceed. lie
declared that the members had vio-
lated their trust by placing special po-
licemen at gambling houses contrary
to law, and he appointed two new mem
bers.
IL was his purpose 10 make war; upon
the gam hlcrs in order to gain the good
will Of the people OF the state, and
especially 10 secure the following Of
the new women voters. The deposed
members applied to the district court
and obtained a temporary injunction
to restrain the governor. the mayor
and the new members from taking pos
session of the office Of the police and
fire board by force. This was objected
to. but after arguments had been
heard. Judge Graham declined to re-
move the injunction. Then, after sew
oral days elaboration. the governor
decided ia ignore the injunction. and
so issued last night his orders to the
militia.

RUINED BY FIRE.


NV ORLEANS. March 6.--The ia
nous Pickwick club building. at the
corner Of Canal and Carondelet streets.
one Of the finest and best-known places
in the south, was practically ruined
by fire to-day. IL was little after Z
o'clock when the smoke and flames were
seen issuing from the rear Of the build
ing. The book-keeper. manager. por-
tiers and other employees were in the
building at the time and they quickly
gave the alarm. The fire bellies sum
moned the department TO the scene,
but before the first engine had reached
the corner OF Canal and Gravier streets
the fire had attained serious proper
tions and general alarm was turned
in.
The flames quickly ran through the
upper stories. finally burst through the
roof and Quilted the clubhouse before
they were subiuel The department
worked three hours before the fire was
under control. and Canal stSect was
packed and jammed with thousands OF
people who watched the efforts save
the building. The loss will be 100000.
The fire Is thought TO have been caused
by imperfcctness in the electric motor

RUNAWAY BICYCLE.
Perilous Mountain Experience of
Pennsylvania Wheelman.

= Country Funeral Procession
and Wrecks His Mount.

On a sultry afternoon in August,
1898, party Of eighteen cyclists were
resting under large tree by the road
side, about midway between Belle
fonte and Altoona, in the mountainous
district of Pennsylvania. Some, writes
e j. Cassidy in the Bicycling World,
were sitting smoking their pipes, and
Others were stretched at full length,
all enjoying the cool shade after their
hot ride. One of the party, stranger
to the others. was tourist on his way
TO Pittsburgh, about one hundred and
fifty miles distant from the point
where they had now halted. The
othN~s were on a pleasure ride to Ty-
rome, and fNad overtaken the stranger
a few miles bSek They Were chatting
and joking, andSa few had been telling
stories to the others of adventures
, they had met wits while riding the
silent steed. The stranger, who had
the appearance of being veteran
wheelman and tourist, being pressed
for story, related the following:
One of the most exciting and peril
ons incidents that ever happened in
my career occurred while l was pass
ing through this identical part of the
country in the autumn of 1892. l had
just reached the summit of very high
mountain near Bellefonte, during the
ascent of which l had been compelled
TO dismount and rest quite a number
of times before l arrived at the top.
After waiting long enough to get my
wind and wipe the perspiration from
my face, / mounted my wheel, threw
my feet upon the coasters, and started
to descend the other side. The road
was winding and very steep, but, on
the whole, rather smooth; so, having no
thought of danger, "let 'er ont" as l
wanted to reach Bellefonte by sun
down. / sat thinking what justice l
would do the supper was now long
ing for-the machine speeding along
faster every moment-and before l
knew it l was going with lightning
speed down the mountain. i grasped
the brake lever and tried to apply the
brake, but to my dismay found that

II reckon there must be more than

reply.
