cOLORADO'S MINING BOOM.
Large Buying Orders Have Been ca6ied
From London BY English Capt.
xoI
f1HSts.

DENVER. CoIo., Dec. 1.-THE manipu-
la:ions of one of the new stocks yesterday
and to-day created quite change from
the routine of the past two weeks. Though
the dealing was heavy, the stock was
steadily forced upward, standing at the
close several points better. On other
stocks the market stands firm, and trad
ing remains apparently heavy in volume.
Several large buying orders from the East
were filled to-day, and in Colorado Springs
it was learned that some very large buying
orders had been cabled during the night
from London. =.
The discovery that the West Creek min.
ing district is upon the Pixies Peak reserva-
ton will check interest somewhat in that
locality, as Congress must act before q
patent can issue for mining properties
there. A similar mineral formation is re-
ported near Pine Grove station, on the
South Park Railroad.
Transfers of Cripple Creek properties by
sale, lease and bond are numerous in spite
of the advancing prices placed upon their
claims by the originai locators.

Pr0hibitiontsts to Hold Their Conrention
ia the Smoky City.
CHICAGO, ILL.,. Dec. 1.-THE Prohibit
tionists are the second in the field to con-
slider their plans for next years campaign
and to fix the time and place for holding
the National convention. This morning a
special meeting OF the National committee
of the party opened at the Sherman
House.
Members of the committee say that
from 10000 10 5000 people will attend the
National convention, but this estimate
would appear to be largely exaggerated,
in view of the fact that the Cincinnati con-
vention of four years since attracted less
than 1000 people outside of that city.
Local Prohibitionists were out in force at
the Sherman House, and their discussions
evidenced the fact that there is no lack of
timber for the Presidential nomination
Ex-Governor John P. ST. John of Kansas
appears to be the favorite, with John P.
Wooley, the temperance lecturer, formerly
of Minnesota, but now of this city, close
second.
Only one formal ballot was necessary to
determine the location of the convention,
Pittsburg winning with % votes. Denver
received Ii, Baltimore 2. The convention
will be held on Nav 81.

WAR IN THE RE|CHSTAG,
Herr Bebel, the Socialist, Makes
a Bitter Attack Upon the
Emperor.
Williams Speeches on Sedan Day and
at Breslau Are Roundly
Denounced.

BERLIN, GERMANY, Dec. 11.-There was
an exciting scene in the Reichstag to-day
upon the delivery of the speech by Herr
Bebel, one of the Socialist leaders, in re-
gard to the recent prosecution of socialists
and the closing of socialist unions by the
Government. In the course of his speech
Herr Bebel made a violent attack on the
Emperor because of the Speeches delivered
by his Majesty on Sedan day and more re-
Gently at Breslau, referring to the Kaiser
as "a certain somebody"
General Bronsart Won Schollendorff, I'M
perial Minister of War, said amid tre-
mendous uproar on the part of the social
lists, who attempted to drown his voice,
that during the Sedan fetes the socialists
were very dirty ink-slingers. Their in
fanny, however, was unable to soil the
memory of the great Kaiser, but neverthe-
less the army would never forget the de-
pravity of the socialists upon that occa-
sion.

ment among the passengers on board.
Everybody, he said, showed the utmost
GOODNESS. All the officers of the steamer
were at their posts and it was evident that
the greatest celebrity had been shown, for
when he reached the deck, the passengers
and crew OF the Cumbre were already be-
ing hauled aboard the Germanic.
Mr.. Helmsley, the manager for John
hare, SAID that he was standing on the
deck when the collision occurred, and the
shock was only enough to disturb his bal
ance. He attributed the rescue of the
woman passenger who fell into the water
to the good work of the Germanic's crew
in lowering the boats. Nobody on the
Germanic, he said, imagined that the yes
sci was in port. The members of Mr.. Hare's
company sail Oh the Umbria.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. 11.-Local enthu-
siasm over the capture Of the Republican
National Convention has not abated, aid
all who will have any connection with the
entertainment and comfort of the dele
gates are determined to do their best.
The deluge of outside orders for hotel
accommodations began Immediately upon
the committees decision and still con-
tinues.
So large were some of the demands that
an informal meeting of hotel proprietors
was held to-day, and decision reached
that no one candidate will be allowed to
monopolize a hotel
The chief hacker and friend of one OF the
foremost candidates for President wired
an order to-day reserving forty of the best
rooms in large hotel. It was learned on
investigation that orders in proportion
from the same source were received at
other hotels.
1t was then decided by the hotel men
that no individual should be allowed to
"corne-" accommodations for the purpose
of entertaining convention shouters.
There are ample accommodations in the
principal hotels for 10000, while the minor
hotels and lodging houses can comfort
ably house several times that number.
Apartments have been secured at the
Southern Hotel by Reed, Mckinley and
Alger. while Allison is booked at the Lin
dell.

FIRE IN AN ASYLUM.
Two Hundred Orphaned Children March Out
in Good Order From Their Burn
iBQ Home.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis. Dec. IA fire
ragged in the suburb of st. Francis tonight.
The St. Emilianus Orphan Asylum has
been destroyed and heroic work alone pre-.
vented spread of the flames to the Cath
ollc seminary. which is separated from the
asylum by small creek only. The wind
was blowing gale and communication by
wire was interrupted.
Close to the asylum are the chapel, the
printing Office and barn, which are all
built in the shape of a triangle. The fire
started in the printing Office at o'clock.
At that hour all employees stopped work,
and the pressman, Chris Furhmann, ac-
cidentally knocked over a lamp, which ex-
ploded. He tried to extinguish the flames
by throwing clothes upon them, but at the
same instant the door was blown open by
the wind and the draft carried the flames
to the ceiling.
The pressman rushed out of the build
ing and called for help. but as there is no
fire department at st. Francis the flames
ate their way unchecked to other parts of
the building.
In the asylum there were 1872 boys,
ranging in age from 3 to Is. They all
marched out in good order and no one was
hurt.
AS there was no fire apparatus bucket
brigade was formed and helped asked from
this city. Engine companies and 10 were
ordered to the scene of the fire, but they
were absolutely powerIess. The building,
with all its contents, burned to the ground,
and the fremen directed their efforts
toward saving the seminary and adjoining
buildinys

LONDON, ENG, Dec. ia dispatch
to the Central News from Rome says that
General Baratieri. Governor of Erythrea
and commander of the Italian troops,
telegraphed that fully 10000 Abyssinians

UNDER TWO FLAGS.
Hundreds of Soldiers and Marines of the
United States Join the Christian
Ende1vorers

DETROIT, MICH, Dec. 1.-THE trustees
of the United Society of Christian En-
deavor began their semi-annual session
here to-day.
Nearly all of the thirty mem bers of the
board were present at the business meet
ing this afternoon. when the reports of
President Francis E. Clark and Secretary
John Willis Baer were read. The secre-
tary's report in part is as follows:
"Inroads have been made in the United
States navy and army. The number of
floating societies is 160, including the So
cletIes in the navy-yard in Brooklyn,
N. Y, and the marine corps in Washing
ton, and there are societies in the army,
SO all these are doing good work and are
making progress of definite character,
''The boys in blue need Christian en-
deavor, and will be better soldiers if en-
rolled under the banner of the King of
kings and Lord of lords.
'Last spring, when the new societies
were reporting at the rate OF an average of
100 week, it seemed as though the
growth would at some near day be re-
tarded: that the progress that was
being made could not be kept up. but
God continues to direct it's momentum
and the same average is being made week
after week Last week 1873 societies were
enrolled, the week before lis and the week
before that 105.
''There are now 1880 societies, with a
membership of 2,56s.oO0; 1892 societies
are in the United States, 3185 in the Do
minion of Canada and 5O63 in foreign and
missionary lands. You will be interested
to know that IN England there are now
5000 societies and in Australia over 1900"

not move or speak. Last evening she re-

DEFENDED IN ENGLAND.
Bnyard Championed by the
British Press.

LONDON, Eng, Dec. 1.-THE Daily
News tomorrow will say in regard to Mr..
Bayard:
Perhaps the American En- bassador
would have done more wisely by saying
nothing about questions OF political econ
omy at a time when the protection party
had been set up with new strength, but we
are inclined to believe that the men who
called for his impeachment would have
liked to impeach him in any case for his
professions of goodwill toward England
and the English. Mr.. Beyard may, how
ever, we fancy, eat his meals in peace and
sleep despite the echoes of iingo thunder.
He is the sort OF man, to use an American
phrase, that won't scare worth a cent"

of His Charges.

LIVERPOOL, ENG, Dec. 11.-An inter-
view was had with Lord Dunraven, who
was a passenger on the disabled steamer
Germanic. just previous to the departure
of that vessel to-day.
While refusing to speak about the rela-
tive merits of Valkyrie III and the De-
fender, Dunraven said he wished it to
be distinctly understood that his going to
New York was a perfectly voluntary act
on his part, ana that his sole object in
making the journey was to secure a fair
and impartial inquiry by the committee of
the New York Yacht Club into the charges
brought by him against the defender of
the America cup.

NO PRAYER IN SCHOOL.
Religious Services Not Permitted Under

CHICAGO, ILL, Dec. ia special from
ST. Paul says: The State Superintendent
of Public Instruction recently received an
inquiry whether or not the law prohibited
the opening of public schools with a recital
of the Lords prayer, and asking the advice
of the Superintendent when one person in
the district objected to the service.
In an opinion yesterday Attorney-Gen-
eral Childs, to whom the matter was le-
ferred, holos that the service is in violation
of section l6 of the State constitution,
which provides that no person shall be
compelled to attend, erect or support any
place of worship. AS the constitution re-
quires the people of the State to support
it's schools, a religious service at the open
