ed Chancellor and Premier.

Berlin, Oct. 27.-At o'clock this
evening 1t was announced that Prince
ohe-Schillingsfurst, governor of
has accepted the
chancellorship after first declining that
honor. The prince also accepted the
premiership of Prussia and Herr Won
Roller, under secretary of the interior
department Of the province Of Alsace-
Lorraine, succeeded Gutenberg as
Prussian minister of the interior.
Much attention has been aroused by
the honor which Emperor William
paid to Prince Notwithstanding
furst and Herr Won Roller, by going
to Wild Park station to meet them
and giving them apartments in the
new palace.
The emperor's choice Of Hohenlohe
for chancellor is taken as evidence that
his majesty does not intend to adopt
the extreme measures required to ar
rest the spread of socialism. Hohen-
lohe, although "a years of age, is very
active physically and mentally.
Caprivi in an interview says: 81

Reign Of Terror Begun by Robbers in
China.
San Francisco, Oct. 29.-Chinese
papers received by steamer contain ac-
counts Of the numerous outrages by
bandits and pirates in the Orient. A
band Of men made desperate by the
loss of crops and homes in the recent
overflow Of the Liao river have es-
tablished reign of terror This band
comprises about 200 armed men. BY
these haids they have secured several
boats with which they carry on opera
tiOns on the water. During three
weeks Of the raids of this lawless band
20 men were killed and more than
three times that number were wound
ed by them. Their operations covered
a distance of nearly 100 miles along
the Lioa river. For protection boats
now travel in patches, and SO powerful
have the robbers become that they do
not hesitate to attack numbers Of
boats at the same time, even in day
light.
-Four boats were attacked by one of
the piratical craft having crew Of
Chang. All valuables and arms were
taken, two sailors were killed and two
others wounded. The cargo boats are
arming their crews and preparing to
resist the pirates.
News from Singapore tells Of the
robbery of Chinese coasting vessel
bound from Singapore for the island Of
Luiggi by Malay pirates.
A number of them took passage on
the coaster and at night attacked the
ships clerk and robbed him Of about
$500 in cash. The noise made aroused
a member of the crew and he rushed
to the aid Of the clerk, but was stabbed
by the Malays and thrown overheard.
The Malays jumped into the water and
escaped.

Grand Junction, Colo, Oct. 27.-To-
night the officers of Company f of this
city, including Captain Core and Lieu
tenants Yetter and Runner, sent to
the military board of the state their
designations as officers of said company
with the request that they be accepted
at once.
The reasons for this act on the part
of the militia officers We're outlined in
the resolutions and petition sent to
headquarters some weeks ago. In
those resolutions they stated that If
not paid for services rendered the state
six months since they would resign,
as they could not maintain the COM
pany unless the members received pay
for the time they were out under ord
ers. Bills contracted during that time
are being pressed and the officers held
personally responsible for them. No
attention has been paid to that request
and the action on the part of the off,
GERS is taken as outlined in the petition.

Our steel war vessels, of which we
are SO proud. have one unpleasant
habit, they are subject to "fouling" of
the bottom. A steel ship outward
bound and using ton of coal per milo
will, on her return two months later,
require two tons of coal per mile to
force her through the water. This in
capacitates these ships for long cruises.
It will be necessary to return to the

Depredstions on . Large Scale in North
eastern Colorado.
Denver, Oct. ga special from
Greeley to the Republican says:
Since the report published in Tuesdays
Republican concerning cattle and
horse stealing in this vicinity investi-
CATION has been going on and a large
amount of stealing exposed. The rust
lers, it would seem, have been engaged
in the business the past thirty days
without any special hiudrance and 1t
is estimated by the officials that they
beeves and probably butchered as
many more. The thieves have been op-
Grating from Sterling to the foothills,
east and west, and from Kimball, Neb,
on the northeast, to Fort LuptOn, on tho
south. Aside from what is taken from
the regular herds that roam the plains
the greatest thefts have been commit
ted from the ranchers in the foothills
During the potato season, the foothill
ranchmen are engaged in digging the
tuber and the rustlers have run off
their stock. Fully nineteenth Of these
farmers have suffered the loss of more
or less of their stock. In several iu-
stances the rustlers have been ingen-
ious in locating their corrals for hold
ing the stolen property. One such was
found at the mouth of the Big Thomp-
son the other day, containing eighteen
head of cattle, and 1t was by the merest
chance that the deputy appointed by
Sheriff Clark of this county, to trace
the thieves and their plunder, discov-
cred 1t. Bullrushes, rank grass, weeds
and saplings were there so thick and
high as to entirely hide the cattle from
casual observation.
The principal manner employed by
the rustlers to make good their steal
ings is the rebranding process and

Denver, Oct. 29.-Judging from indi-
cations now quite apparent, 1t is not i'm.
probable that the Colorado Midland
may have a separate receiver within
the next thirty or forty days, says the
Tmes-Sun. From what can be learn
ed the bondholders Of the Midland and
Santa Fe bondholders have practically
agreed to submit an application for
the appointment Of separate receiver
for the former line.
The situation Is rather peculiar; while
the Santa Fe company owns all of the
Midland stock, it does not hold the
bonds.
This change, 1t Is said, has become a
desire on the part of the Midland bond
holders owing to the fact that for the
past two years the earnings of the road
have not been sufficient to meet the
interest on the bonds, though for the
two years previous the situation was
much more satisfactory to the bond
holders.
About two years ago the Santa Fe
absorbed the entire stock Of the Mid
land and took control of the manage
ment of the affairs of that line, which
has been operated at a loss since.
though the depression in silver since
then has had more or less to do with
the shrinkage in earnings.
In looking over the history Of the
line it is ascertained that the Santa
Fe paid so cents share for the Mid
land stock, amounting to S,OOO,OO
shares, in which $1,GOO,OOO was paid
in cash and the balance in Santa Fe
stock at so cents on the dollar. Nearly
all of the stockholders unloaded.
This sale enabled some who had
paid 33 1-3 cents on the dollar for the
stock, to sell out at a profit when they
really thought for some time that their
holding would be a loss to them. Since
the Santa Fe took hold of the Midland
1t has been losing money for them, and
that Is why the bondholders are de
sirOus of having a change and to try
a separate receivership.
Mr.. w. G. Rathbone, representative
of the Midland bondholders, is in the
city, stopping at the Brown Palace His
visit is for the purpose of assisting in
engineering the new deal, though the
gentleman refrains from making his
business public. He says, however,
that the England bondholders are in
favor of operating the road independ-
emily and meeting Is to be held in
New York soon when the plans will be
made public.
General Agent Collbran declines t.,
be interviewed on the subject and will
say nothing either way about the move
ment now going on. AS he has been
identified so long with the Midland,
and is the only man who has ever made
it pay the investors anything, it is
not improbable he will be the man Sc
lected to receive the nomination for re
ceiver.

Comparatively few Englishmen re-

what due to the presence in English

COSTLY BURIAL
Surviving Relics of the Elaborate Funer-
AIS of Past Ages

ais of Past Ages
The majority of intelligent persons
are more or less Indifferent as to the
disposal of their bodies after death,
but it may be safely asserted that not
one would be found to express sish
that his or her body should be careful
ly preserved in a polished oak or elm
brass-mounted coffin, and in a walled
grave or vault. 1t is the result partly
of tyrannical custom and partly of
leaving all to the undertaken The
latter has been shorn of much of his
former profits derived from the sale of
scarves and hat-bands. and the hire of
pals. plumes, feathers and other trap
pings of woe. The polished coffin and
the brass furniture are the surviving
relics of the funerals completely fur
nished' of past age, and are chung
to- with affectionate tenacity by those
whose interest it is to have them con-s
tinued.
But the undertaken is, after all, what
the public make him. The courage
and persistence of a few individuals
swept away the costly and useless trap
pings of woe; only very little more
courage is required to substitute cheap
er and perishable coffins for the pre-
tentious upholstery exhibited in the
coffin of the day. If the upper classes
would set the example and make per
ishable coffins fashionable, it would
soon spread to the working classes,
