CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo. Aug. "a. There
is nothing TO indicate any deviation from
the program announced TO occur at Gil
lette today and apparently the bull fight
will be held despite the threats and pro-
tests OF the humane soc iety. The proJec-
tors of the exhibition have great conf
dence that the Governor will in no way
interfere and they even claim that he may
accept the invitation to be present.
The Governor has been in Colorado
Springs, where he went to partici pate IN
the flower day festivities. He is said to
have agreed TO the bull fight procee dings
il no cruelty occurs.
AT Gillette, everything is in read iness
for the three days carnival OF sport.
The vast arena, seating ten thousand
people, is completed. The animals that
are TO take part in the fight are here, but
are kept in sections and IL is not known
whether they are the genuine Mexican
article or the harmless American product.
The COW boys, Indians, and scouts who
are to participate are also all In readiness.

REASON FOR DELAY.
Secretary Adee's Official Communica-
tion From the State Department.

WAsHfNGToN, Aug. "a. The following
was given out officially at the State de-
partment today:
"Upon acting secretary Adee's atten-
tion being called to the statements in
yesterdays s papers that much dissatisfac-
tion was felt at the state department be-
cause Mr.. DENLY had not been heard
from for several days and that he was
supposed TO have taken umbrage at in
structions lately cabled to him, Mr.. Adee
said that he had authorized no expression
of the departments opinion as TO the
cause of Mr.. Denby's silence for the sim
pie reason that no opinion had been
formed or could nationally be formed in
the absence of knowledge of the facts.
Promptness, good judgment and energy
with which Colonel DENLY had acted
upon the instructions heretofore sent him
negative any hasty conjecture that he
was not now endeavorlng with alacrity
to fulfill the duties imposed upon him by
the department kilograms of the past
week. 1t was to be rememb bered, Mr.. Adee
said, that China is country of slow COM
munications, having practically no speedy
mail service and few telegraph lines, that
the problem of the fitting protection OF
lives and porperty interests OF our clti-
zens, scattered over a territory covering
1900, 900 square miles or more, required
constant conference and cooperation be-
tween the minister and the admiral COM
manding, as well as trustworthy iuforma-
ton from the consuls, that the Tsung Ii
Yamen, which is the practical government
OF China as far as foreign interests are
concerned. is a cumbrous body TO deal
with. its deliberations being often pro-
tracted and the execution of its decisions
depending on the doubtful zeal of the
local viceroys and provincial governors,
and that the necessity of bringing all
these diver factors into concurrent work
ing might we'll battle Mr.. Denby's nat
ural desire TO report TO the department
successful action upon it's instructions.
To take the case of the Ku-Cheng (or as
more properly written, Kutien), investi-
CATION, communication with the consul
at Foo Chow was obviously necessary
to any intelligent action and Mr.. Hixson
appeared to have put himself beyond tele-
graph reach. The need of communicating
with him by personal messenger perhaps
explains the press reports that commander
Newell of the Detroit had gone TO Kutien
10 see him, of which, however, the state
department has no confirmation. The tel
egrams from Shanghai and Hong Kong
are to be taken with some allowance, by
reason of the apparent disposition in
these quarters TO work up preJuolct
against the diplomatic and naval repre-
sentation of the United States in China
and dependence upon such reports might
be more likely to complicate and defeat
than helpfully aid the government IL
carrying out its practical purposes.

A LIVELY BLAZE.
CleveIand's Early Morning
100000 Fire.

CLEVELAND, o., Aug. 24.-Fire broke
out at an early hour this morning in the
five-story brick Williamson block. corner
Euclid avenue and Monumental square.
Notwithstanding that streams from II or
Is engines and two fire boats We're soon
playing on the flames, the building was
entirely consumed. The first floor was
occupied by Enfield Brothers, druggists,
the Goodyear RubberCompany and Larned
Glove store, and the upper floors were
used for offices. The flames quickly
spread to the adjoining building, occu-
pied by Sherwood's drug store and Quinn
by's dry goods store. The rubber store
was gutted and the dry goods store dam
aged to some extent by smoke and water.
The Cuyshoga Office building, at the
corner OF the square and Superior street,
one of the finest structures OF the kind in
the city, cuaght fire several times, but
beyond slight damage from smoke and
water, suffered very little. The total loss
will not exceed s100, 900 The origin OF

POT-LEADED.

nified by the name OF Japanese lacquer.
Whatever it may be called, the stuff i'm
parts smoothness and gloss to the hull
OF the ship that will be of great service
to her action in the water.
1t also has an effect on the yachts look.
II is black, and runs up within few
inches of her deck, 1t giving the appear
ance OF full black hull. This takes
away considerable OF the 'tyachty" look
that Is made by pure white, and makes
the vessel look complacent, like ship.
IL also enhances the appearance OF the
power of the vessels lines.
The yacht will remain in dock until
Monday morning. Her sails will be bent
as she Is towed down TO Sandy Hook. IL
is the intention OF Captain Cranfield not
only to dry-dock and pot-lead the boat
Just before the races for the cup but also
do the same thing on the day succeeding
each race, until the match Is over. This
has never been done before, and there may
be protest against the action, even If
the Americas Cup committee does not
positively forbid IT. There Is no know
ledge OF law against such course, but
when the same thing was suggested by
the Thistle people, so much opposition
was expressed that the plan was dropped.
IL looks very much as though Defender
and Vigilant will not meet in the next
trial races Tuesday, as arranged. News
from Bristol indicates that Defender can
not ship her new mast and do everything
necessary to put hersin racing trim in
time TO have the first sail on Tuesday,
and il will probably have TO be postponed
until Wednesday.

added that great care was being taken

None Of the contractors who has not

notified the Union leaders OF being de-
sirous of becoming Union factory. The
Union officials, however, are not perturb-
ed over the a flair, and say they are copfi-
dent of a complete success. A number
OF the contractors will not reopen their
factories until Wednesday.
meeting OF the strikers was held this
morning, when the proposition was favor,
ably discussed TO assess each member -
cents week for IL weeks for the purpose
OF increasing the strike fund to such an
amount that the contractors will hesitate
before causing another strike. Secretary
Felz, who was seen in the morning said,
fThis strike has done us wonderful
amount of good. Besides bringing ir the
men and women who have been outside
the Union for years, it has been an OBJ
iect lesson for our members, and they
now know and feel the benefits OF an or
ganization. In fact never in the history
OF the clothing trade in this city, has
there been such movement to have a
strong organization, both in regard to
members and treasury. The members are
desirous of having such strong strike
fund at their disposal that to cause
strike in the future, will mean expense
of thousands of dollars to the contractors,
and it will make them think long ana
care fully before they decide TO cross
swords with the Union again."
