MADRID, Oct. l6.-Prof. Odon,
who was recently suspended from
his chair in the Barcelona Univer-
sity for publishing a text book

Senior Salmeron, the republican
leader, and crowd of his followers
and students went to the railway

Denver,s Great Holiday.

DENVER, Colo, Oct. 16.-Denver
is in a blaze of glory today, the
first OF the annual Festival Of
Mountain and Plain, inaugurated
this year. The weather is glorious
and over $4,000 people have fiocked
to the town from the country dis
tricts, taxing the carrying capaci-
ty of all the Colorado railroads.
The decorations are extensive, the
holiday colors OF yellow and white
being seen everywhere. At l
o'clock this afternoon, the first
great parade, the pageant OF Pro.
gress, which illustrated the state
from the time when the red men
roamed over mountain and plain,
up to the present time, started on
the line of march. Although there
had been little time for preparation
some of the floats were very hand
some. One of the most magnifi.
cent features was human flag
composed of four hundred children
appropriately costumed and ar
rangd on a stand. The festivities

Basis of Armenian Reforms.

CoNSTANTINoPLE, Oct. l6.-Said
Pasha has accepted the scheme for
reform in Armenia drawn up by
Great Britain, France and Russia
and it now awaits the signature of
the sultan. The scheme is almost
identical with the proposals Of last
May, which insubstance are that

nors of Van, Erzeroum, Sivas,
Bitlis, Khartoum and Trebi-
Zond are to Christian, or
Musselman, according to the in
clination Of the population, but
either the governor or the vice gov
ernor is to be a Christian, and the
appointments are to be confirmed
by the powers. The local and not
state officials are to collect the
taxes, and enough money Is to be
retained. before it Is sent to Con-
stantinople, to pay the expenses OF
the local administration. Complete

surveillance. The police will be
composed Of Christians and Turks
equally, and the laws against COM
pulsory conversions to Islam
ism will be strictly enforc-
ed. The ambassadors of the
powers expect that the whole
question will be finally settled dur
ing the course of the week by the
PRONUNCIATION of an imperial de-
cree. Contrary to general expecta-
ton, the high commissioners who
will be charged with the execution
of this scheme of reform will be
Christian. This was the hardest
pill for the Porte to swallow and
for a long time it threatened to
bring about the most serious COM
plications.
A Russian warship has arrived
here. The situation at Ismid is
critical. The Christians are ap-
preheusive Of Turkish outbreak.

Iucredible Cruelties on the Congo

LONDON, Oct. 16.-In an inter-
view with an unnamed missionary
who has spent IA years on the Con-
go and who has just returned to
England he describes the reign of
terror that prevails there, provoked
by a dangerous rebellion on the
upper Congo. The valley, he says,
has been desolated by tyranny and
exactions OF the officials whose sole
aim is to raise revenue. If the
natives resist the extOrtionate de.
mands that are made upon them,
expeditions are sent to burn their
villages and slaughter the inhabi-
tants. Incredible cruelties are
practiced by the officials.

PARIS, Oct. 16--The Paris edition
OF the New York Herald has dis
patch from Seoul, the capital Of
Corea, confirming the reports that
the queen was murdered while the
Japanese troops were at the palace

and his father, the Tai-Won-Tun,
the leader of the reactionary ele.
ment, has been proclaimed dicta-
tor. The new cabinet will be made
up of pro-Japsnese elements. The
queens officials have fled. A Jap.
anese named Soshi has been ar

But The Robbers Were Green and
Failed to Get Booty.
TEMPLE, Tex, Oct. l6.-[Special ]
last night when the south. hound
Katy train arrived at Little river,
eight miles south Of Temple, two
masked men got on the engine and
made the engineer pull out. Ar
irving at the river, a mile distant,
the train was stopped and the
mail, express car and engine pulled
over the bridge. Here an attempt
was made to blow the express
safe open with dynamite. The car
was badly wrecked but the safe
was unhurt. The job was absn-
doned and the robbers left on
horseback. Officers with hounds
tried to follow the trail but it got
in the main road and the dogs
could do nothing. The train was
delayed half an hour. No one was
hurt and no booty secured.

Mr.. Curtis, in addition to the

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. l6.-United
States Senator Thurston, counsel
for the Union Pacific railway, is
in the city and was asked what he
thought OF the report that the
Vanderbilts were endeavoring to
secure control of the Union Pacific.
1t is quite apparent, "said he"

Depew and Marvin Hughitt are
two of the committee of five who
are to reorganize the roads pres
emit Indebtedness. l would not be
surprised If the Vanderbilts should
sooner or later be found to have an
influential voice in the property's
direct management.
G. p. Huntington denies emphat-
ically that the Vanderbilt's are
negotiating with him relative to
acquiring the lease, of the Central
Pacific. He further states that he
would not lease the Central Pa
cific to theVanderbilts or anybody
else. He wants to keep it as part
of his Southern Pacific system.
Huntington said, however, 81
would not be surprised to hear of
the Vanderbilts taking active man

men, of the same time and race, only
their pursuits, occupations and habits
Of life differ; their sphere is domestic,

to do far more by influence in public
matters, by an intelligent interest in

they exercise. and It Is lamehtable that
70 few women care how the public
