THE DENVER HORROR.
Seven More Bodies Found-The Hotel Register
 Was Padded.

Denver, Col, Aug. 21.-Seven more bodies were fo und today in the ruins of the Gumrey hotel. They were:
 w. s. Blake of Pueblo.
 Peter Gumrey, owner of the hotel.
 A. M. Monroe, Des Moines, Ia.
 Lillia Loager.
 Louis Reinhemer.
 Emma Muhlhaler, chamber maids, all of Denver
 Gen. Charles Adams, Denver.
 This brings the known dead to twenty. and five more are still missing, including the engineer. The bodies supposed to be those of D. Lake, and Gumrey were in a horrible condition. and the friends of both men are doubtful as to their identi- ty. The ruins were fired today in hope of bringing the dangerous walls to the ground, but the fire gained such headway that the entire fire department was called out to quench the flames. The work of re- covery progresses slowly and what bodies remain in the wreck must be partly ere mated from today's fire
 The coroner's jury, composed of promi- nent citizens, meets tomorrow to fasten the responsibility upon some one. Seven of the victims were buried today.
 It was discovered today that J. l.. Kierk of Omaha, Neb., Miss Jennie How ard of Boston and J. A. Brown of Omaha, Neb, reported as killed in the disaster. are phantoms. They were put on the reg ister to pad it and have no existence.

A Wag in Washington Who Is Playing Hat
 Franks on the Clerks.
 There is a man in the treasury depart ment who has it in for somebody; he doesn't know who, but he will find out in time. He had not many friends in the office He was too mercenary to be popu- lar, so when he appeared one morning with a new silk hat they made up their minds he shouldn't enjoy it long. As soon as a chance offered the leader of the con spirators neatly folded a piece of paper and laid it in the inside band of the hat Of course 1t was unnoticed by the wearer Next day he put in another, and next day another Once it was noticed when he put the hat on he took 1t off, glanced anxiously inside to make sure it was his hat, then fitted it on his head as best he could. Toward the end of the week. when a fresh paper had been added each day, he began to talk about how pecu- liar it was that the hat had grown more uncomfortable each day until he felt as though he didn't want to appear in it. Then he became alarmed and thought he had some disease of the head. Then he confded to a fellow clerk that he was going to consult physician that day. His friend took the beaver in his hand tried it on his head. That's a good fit. Whatll you take for it?' The answer came quickly "Two dollars.'
 Here's your two" and the clerk closed the transaction by paying up and taking the beaver. Then he sought the doctor, who prescribed for him. charged him $2, and told him to come again. The man has been making regular visits for the bene- fit of his head. Saturday he found out the joke, and at the same time discovered the trouble with his head He had wheels The other man has the beaver.

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE.

MT. Balfour Replies to an Interrogatory
 Upon the Subject
 London, Aug. 22.-In the house of com mons today Sir John Long, member for Dundee. asked MT. A. J. Balfour, first lord of the treasury, whether in conson- ance with the views he had repeatedly expressed. he would advise that the gov ernment invite the assembling of an in ternational conference in order to ob- tain an agreement in regard to the cur rency.
 MT. Balfour said he had always been strongly in favor of an international agreement upon the currency question, but that he had no right to pledge his col leagues to such an opinion, nor had he any reason for thinking that such an agreement would result at the present moment from an international confer -ence A second abortive conference, he thought, would be very undesirable.

 In the second heat Patchen led all the way. McHenry went to the whip at the half but Gentry could not respond Cur " pulled Patchen up, and logged home in 2:07A. After this heat Curry an- nounced that he was going for the rec ord, and would not wait for Gentry. The third heat was easily Patchen's, as Gen try had tired under punishment in the previous heat in coming up the stretch. Altogether the race was a vast disap- pointment to the 12,000 persons present. At no time did Gentry act as though he had a chance to win heat.
 Patchen's time in the third heat was 2:07H.
