kerr HARD|E MET WAITE,
Another English Agitator Finds
Only Disappointment
in Colorado.
Accused by the Ex-Governor of
Stealing Thunder From the
Populist Party.

DENVER, Colo. Sept. 13.-Keir Hardie
left Denver for Pueblo to-day, disap-
pointed at his reception in this city. His
meeting last night was not financial sue
cess only SIS being raised in the volun-
tary collection. Ex-Governor Waite at
tended and he took occasion to dispute
some of Hardie's statements, just as he
did some of the conclusions drawn by
John Burns when he visited Colorado
Waite took offense at locally published
interview, in which Hardie declared the
Populist party fraud, and when Hardie
last evening had finished his address the
audience called for Waite to speak.
We've got just such society in
America now" he began, "as these men
have been talking to you about tonight.
There is a good, healthy, living specimen
of socialism among us that will not allow
one of its mem ers to go hungry. That
specimen of socialism is the Mormon
church"
Loud cries of "That's so. Governor"
"That's the truth, old man." arose from
the delighted auditors. Something like a
look of despair settled on the face of j.
Keir Hardie and on the face of his COM
panion Frank Smith. They appeared to
realize that their thunder was being stolen
in an astonishing way.
"f [ were going to join any church, T"
resumed Governor Waite, when the tumult
had subsidized, 81 would join the Mormon
church-the Joe Smith wing of it. The
Joe Smith wing don't preach polygamy,
and that suits me. One woman is all a
man needs or ought to have, and some
times one is one too many" Then he de-
Tended the Populist party and declared
that the socialists had stolen most of their
thunder from that party.
When he sat down Hardie arose to say
that he knew but little of the Populist
party, but were he an American he could
never join such a party. He did not think
it amounted to much and he was certain
its best ideas were taken from socialistic
sources. The audience cheered both
speakers aud seemed to hugely enjoy the
discontinue of the visitors from England.
Hardie spoke in Pueblo tonight and goes
thence to San Francisco.

proposition to establish permanent head
quarters for the organization, but in favor
OF accepting an offer to store the archives
in the independence Hall, Philadelphia.
This completed the work on the report OF
the committee on resolutions.
The report of the committee on rules
and regulations was then taken up. 1t
contained recommendation for but few
changes in the present laws of the order.
The most important change advised by the
committee and adopted by the encamp-
ment was with reference to the rights of
past commanders. Heretofore they have
not been entitled to a vote in the encamp-
ment. 1t was decided to make them
permanent members of the encampment
and bestow upon them all privileges
of delegates. The list of officers
for the ensuing year was completed
by the selection of ]. B. Whiting of Wis
consin as surgeon-general and /. c. Cliff
of Utah as chaplain. Then the depart
ments announced their memorial for the
council of administration, the commander
in-chief-elect. General Waller of Indianap-
oils, and his associates were installed, and
at 2 80 o'clock the encampment adjourned
sine die.

RETURNS TO SCOTLAND.
VaIkyrie Ill Being DiSmantled
and Made Ready for
the Cruise.
IsELIN WILLING TO GAMBLE
Ready to Enter the Defender for
a Contest in Any Water for
Big Wager.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Sept. 13.-The At
lantie Yacht Club proposes to offer cup
OF the value of at least $1,000 to be sailed for
by the two crack e-stickers-Defender
and Valkyrie. The cup may be sailed for
in a single race or in three races, as
Lord DunTaven may elect, the race or
races to be sailed under the rules and
regulations of the New York, Atlantic
or Larchmont Yacht Club, as he
may decide. Lord Dunraven also will be
allowed to select the water in which the
races are to be sailed, the only limitation
being that they be sailed between Sandy
Hook and Marblehead. The location may
be kept secret, except, of course, to those
who are directly interested in the boats,
and to the regatta committee of the club
which may be selected as the one whose
rules will govern the race.
The limit of time within which the races
must be sailed will be fixed on October l..
The members of the Atlantic Yacht Club
are enthusiastic believers in the ability of
the Defender to outsail anything ever
built in her class, and some of these men
are willing to make up purse of from
5000 to $4,000 and bet that the American
boat will win the cup.
Lord Dunraven, however, has quit for
good. The Valkyrie will be stripped of
her racing rig and sent back to Scotland
at once. Lord Dunraven and his two
daughters will go 20 Colorado and other
points West on a pleasure trip, and will
then return to England.
The Valkyrie, in tow, arrived in Erie
basin shortly before 10 o'clock, and was
warped in between the steamship George
". Clyde and the ship Carnehill Her
sailors were put to work at once stripping
her. By noon the topmast and much of
the tophamper had been removed. Lord
Dunraven was not present. Mr.. Glennie,
his representative, said that the Valky-
RE would start on her homeward voyage
as soon as she could get in trim.
The Evening Sun tonight publishes the
following:
c. Oliver Iselin expressed his willingness
last night to race the Defender against the
Valkyrie in American waters for $4,000 a
side. He said to several prominent yachts
men: ~ will not race Lord Dunraven,
but | will race boat against boat. Any yacht
course on the Atlantic Coast will suit me-
The distance and number of races are
immaterial. | will race for $4,000 side as
many times as the owners of the VaIkyrie
wish to race. The courses and the dis
lance of the races L leave to them to Sc
lect."
Iselin, as the representative of the De-
fender syndicate, received an official mott
fcation by letter this afternoon from the
America cup committee that the De-
fender was the winner of three inter-
national yacht races, sailed off Sandy Hook
Hghtship, and, that in consequence, the
America cup will remain in the posses
sion of the New York Yacht Club.
a letter was also sent to Lord Dunraven
notifying him that the series of the inter
national races for the America cup was
ended.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Sept. 13.-Joy
was once again depicted on the faces of
racegoers to-day. On arising this morning
they found bright sun beaming down upon
them, while here and there scattering
mud puddle marked all that remained of
the rainstorm.
This was the eleventh day of the meet
ing, with but one more day of the sport to
come, and lovers of racing turned out in
large numbers, the grand stand being
crowded with the fair sex and their escorts.
In the opening race, a selling dash for
two-year- olds, five and half furlongs,
with four starters, Burns and Waterhouse
entered Palomacita, the sister to Armitage,
for meager $780, many, many times be-
low her real value, and, going to the post
to chance, won hands down in 1:09H
from Easel, who showed world of speed.
Josephine took the short end of the purse.
Nine well-classed selling platers went to
the post in the next race, six furlongs
selling affair, with Morven the post ia
vorite at 8 to 5. Miss Buckley, Gold Bug
and Foremost were the most fancied of the
others and received strong support in the
ring. Rosebud. racy looking TYrant

GOBBLED UP BY DR|TONS,
Lord Dunraven Among Those
to Acquire Picturesque
Lands in Colorado.
Much of the Property Has Reverted
Back to Am orleans, However,
by Tax Sales.

DENVER, Colo. Sept. 13.-Settlers in
Estes Park are indulging in considerable
speculation over the object of Lord Dun
ravens visit to Colorado. He is said to
possess vast tract of land in that pictur-
esque mountain-girt valley, whose beauty
was early recognized by Englishmen.
Many hunting parties from England WIS.,
tied the park. In 1870 nearly all the land
was taken up by men employed by the
English, and in the course of few months
following almost the entire tract was found
to be in the names of titled Engiishmen,
much of it credited to the Earl of Dun
raven.
There was wild lot. of Englishmen
roaming over the park lands at this time,
one,l known as Lord Haight, by some
means acquiring the enmity of many of
the settlers. Wild times were alleged to
have happened at the cabin where this
Lord1ived, and many are the stories yet
related of his escapades.
The land which was placed in the name
of the Englishmen and had been known
largely as the estate of ''the English COM
pany" has much of it reverted back to the
State through tax sales, and is now in the
hands of American citizens. The final ad-
justment of surveys showed errors of loca-
ton. and through this much good land
went to actual settlers. The English col
ony in the park has thinned out, but is
still large factor. There remain three
or four large estates" as they may be
called, comprising some of the most valu-
able land of the park. Many times suits
have been threatened against che holders
of the property to destroy the title. At the
time the irregular entries were discovered
the publication undoubtedly saved thou
sands of acres to the public, but on those
lands to which title had already been
given no action was taken.

Mrs. Catherine E. Heirst of this city was
elected National president.
An overture from the department of
Pennsylvania designed to establish a ma

was defeated, the convention deciding that
each State department was at liberty to
legislate on the subject without National
interference.
The following petition to Congress was
adopted and will be circulated for sigma
lures throughout the country:
The loyal citizens of this republic, actuated
by a spirit of love for the emblem OF
