WHAT WAITE THINKS.
Mistaken In His Appeals to ono Class OF
Citizens.-Diss In tho Miners
of Cripple Creek District.

of Cripple Creek District.
Denver, Nov. S.-The News gives the
following report of an interview with
Governor Waite:
The governors appearance Indicated
that the gloomy returns from the min
ing regions We're grievous disappoint-
ment. 81 hardly expected such news
from Cripple Creek" remarked he as
the Republican majority was named.
81 confess the miners have not rallied
to the cause as had reason to expect.
The Indications are that the Populist
state ticket is defeated by majority of
5000 to 5000"
"TO what do you ascribe the defeat,
GOVERNOR" was asked.
"The principal cause was fusion with
the Democrats. Fusion was the rock
on which we have split. l warned our
people against it and did what l could
to stem the torrent, but the Democrats
have delivered us into the hands Of
the enemy. From this time I shall at
all times and under all circumstances
oppose fusion with all my might. Had
we gone into the fight on the Omaha
platform and carried on our battles
ourselves, we could have gained the
victory"
"Governor, did the laboring men meet
the responsibility as you expected"
The governor paced nervOusly back
and forth as he answered, mo. l con-
fess l am disappointed in the vote "f
the laboring men. Our work was main
ly directed to the laboring men, but
the result shows that it might have
been better to have directed the argyll
ments over wider ground made no
hesitation in stating my position, and
the wage Garner had every Opportun-
ity to gain a clear idea of the policy
that would be pursued if he supported
me for governor. My faith in the lu-
innate victory of the people over the
corporations is not shaken, but it Is
postponed to the indefinite future. The
capitalists are again in the saddle and
they will use their power as they have
always used ito cnslave the people.
Some day there will be a grand awals-
ening but it is evident the day has not
arrived in Colorado"
81 shall continue to fight monopoly
with every weapon in my power" add
ed the governor. "The Republicans will
be unable to keep their pledges and an
empty stomach is great educator.
Times will grow harder than ever,
mortgages will multiply and foreclos-
ures will absorb the property that
should be the heritage of the people.
The Populist party has come to stay
and it is bound TO win. Silver will
continue to go down Notwithstanding
the Republican party will be in power,
and shall not be surprised If every
silver mine in the state Is closed"
"How did the women vote, COVER
nor?"
"The figures indicate that the women
have not learned to think independ-
emily. They voted with the money pow
er and as so many of the women live
In the larger towns and cities where
the corporation feeling predominates,
the vote was against me. Women must
| be taught to think for themselves"
The governor has made no plans for
| the future but he expects to stay In
| politics as long as he lives.

The sensation of the hour here Is the
exposure of the celebrated American
spiritual medium. Mrs. Mary Williams
of New York. She arranged to hold
scanccs in st. Petersburg, Berlin and
The Hague and proposed to come to
Paris first. NJ. Lcmairc, who Is much

mentS in Florence Marryht's book.
Mrs. Williams arrived on Oct. 81.
The Duchess of POmpard, great
leader of fashion and n spiritualist.
lives in a magnificent palace, which
has lecture halls where scanccs and
discussions are held. She invited Mrs.
Williams to hold scances there. At
the first of these the Duke of Pompard
suspected something. At the second
seance his suspicious were practically
confirmed.
Mrs. Williams then arranged n third
seance at the house of Nine, Raulet.
But the methods of the spiritualist ex-
cited the suspicious of Nine. Raulet
also. Finally trap was laid. While
Mrs. Williams was materialiZing
spirits tall Swcdc pinioned MacDon-
aid, young Lemairc seized the spirit
which proved to be a doll and another
person lighted the candles.
Mrs. Williams was discovered to be
in mans attire. She tried to escape,
but was captured and compelled to re-
fund all the money she had received at
her selnces. Then she was threatened
with arrest. She hastily fled to Eng
land. In London she wrote letter

woman. The wigs. masks and dolls
used by Mrs. Williams were exhibited
in proof of the assertions Of the enc
mics of Mrs. Williams.

THOSE people who have denied
themselves the pleasure of eating

Archbishop Chappcile May Move.o

Denver, Nov. "a prominent Cath
Ollie is reported by the Times-Sun as
saying "In all probability the success
sor of Bishop Matz will be Archbishop
Chapelle of Santa Fe. Oh, no, Chap
pelle would not necessarily be reduced
to n bishopric, but Denver would be
raised to Il archbfshopric. The pre-.
yailing opinion is that Chappelle will
be placed in permanent charge at this
point.
"Nothing definite in this connection
will be done, however, until the reSiS.
nation is accepted by the holy see, and
n call issued to the provincial bishops
and the diocesan council to meet and
take initial action"

BIG MONEY TO CARRY ON WAR
Japanese Not Backward With Necessary
War Expenditures.


Yokohama, Oct 24.-(per stamer Bel
gic, via San Francisco, Nov. 1.-THE
Nichi Nichi, newspaper, semi-official,
announces on authority that the empe-
ror has santioned Il war expenditure of
A 90. .407 yen for the army and To-
7O4.4G7 yen for the navy. The govern
ment has made use of 23,3SS, 1876 yen,
leaving nearly 37,000,OO0 yen yet avail
able.
Most of the Chinese prisoners cap
tured at Phyong Yang have been
brought to Japan and distributed in
various parts of the country. Most of
the prisoners were ailing and their con-
dition was wretchcd and pitiful in the
extreme. All were clothed in rags and
their condition made them offensive
to all who approached them. Most OF
them were conducted to the Red Cross
society's hospitals. They had expect
ed to be tortured and butchered. In
stead, they were thoroughly washed,
greatly to the astonishment of the ma
jority, given clean apparel and sup
piled with wholesome food, on receiv-
ing which they shed tears profusely.
After three days of good treatment in
the hospitals many of them could
scarcely be recognized as the same be-
inss and the majority of them are now
anxious to be allowed to remain In
Japan.
Reports from China say that the
remnants of Admiral Ting's fleet
have been patched up and are nearly
ready to try their fate again with the
sea, but ominous messages are going
to and from Port Arthur to the effect
that If they venture forth it must be
without proper provision of shot and
shell for the big guns. SO great has
been the rascality of high officials that
the vast quantities OF ammunition
which We're supposed to be stored at
the naval stations have about given
out.

THE SECOND DISTRICT.
Later Returns Indicate tho Election oi
Bell.

Bell.
Denver. Nov. S.-A special to the
Times from Pueblo, says:
Vice Chairman KrenZcki Of the cou-
gressional committee. fears that Tom
Bowen is defeated. He says that they
expected that Huerfano county would
given Bowen 400, and the returns give
him but 175. In Conejos they had cal
culated upon 1000, and they got 700.
Mr.. Krenzski is afraid that this will
beat Tom. Pueblo ought to have gone
1000 in Bowen's favor, but the latest
reports show less than 1000.
Chairman Drake says: 81 do not con-
cede defeat until some definite figures
are given. If Las Animas really gives
500 against Bowen l think he Is de-
feated."
There are many precincts in the
Western district which are far from
railway and telegraph, and they cannot
be heard from before Friday or Satur-
day. In these, which have large
enough vote, Bowen is strong.

THE statistics presented by the Brit
ish medical association show that il is
possible for steady drinker of spirit
uous liquors to live as long as the old
est Of total abstainers. These cases,
however, do not prove that abstinence
from tobacco and liquor is not con-
ducive to longevity. There are per-
sons who seem never to be injuriously
affected by whisky and tobacco, but
the rule still holds that for most per-
sons abstinence or moderation is a
good thing.

LONDON has reformed" it's music
halls by making stringent regulations
as to the character of both performers

American moralists have little reason
to rejoice over this much needed re-
form. Unless proper arrangements
for fumigation be made at New York
this country will be devastated by
noisome "Gaiety" and "Folly" theatri-
cal companies as never before.

THERE is not the slightest doubt
that the spread of diphtheria and
other deadly contagious diseases is
largely due to the ignorance, thought
lessness or soU~hness of parents. The
.ly way to l-otect the public is to
rigidly quarantine the houses when
cases are known to exist. If the law
requires small red flag to be placed
on a house where there is smallpox it
ought to require bigger and red
der flag on the house where there is
diphtheria.

WE are accustomed to regard the
Japanese as little bett,r than half civ
ilized, even though recent treaties
with the great powers have placed her
on equal footing with them. But
there are many ways in which her
people are eminently superior to the
average American, who might profta-
bly, copy the example of the Japanese
workman, who bathes his whole body
once a days sometimes twice. Pub
lie baths are provided on every street,
which are fed by II constant current
of cold and hot water. The bather
plunges in, remains immersed some
ten minutes, then comes out and re-
ceives a warm douche of fresh water

DESTITUTIoN IN NEBRASKA.
The Work of Relief Is Being Pressed
Speedily.

Sptcuhys
Omaha, Neb., Nov. S.-A special to
the Bee from Lincoln, Neb., says: The
Nebraska Relief commission appointed
by the governor to arrange aid for
drought sufferers in the Western Ne
braska counties organized. The main
point to which the commission desires
to direct attention is the systematic
collection of relief at as early a mo-
ment as possible. The distribution is a
light task, comparatively, while the
collection is a matter requiring untirinE
effort and earnest attention: The se.,-
rctary said that he had proceeded on
the plan of districting the state and
dividing the territory, regardless of re-
ligious denominations. In his opinion
every locality should be promptly dt-
yided among charitable workers that
the work may proceed with expedition.
He considered that the situation is ~
grave one and that the amount of desti-
tuition in the western part of the state
has not been in the least exaggerated.
