Telluride, Colo, June 22.-The West
ern Slope congress came to close to-
day, after an interesting session.
Mr.. p. NJ. Num-, electrician of Tellu-
ride, the gentleman who has achieved
fame on two hemispheres by his sue
cessful transmission of electricity for
power over long distances, addressed
the congress on "The Age of Electric
ity." Mr.. Num- transmits electricity tif-
teen miles over small wire, which runs
several immense quartz mills, the elec.
tric light plant of Telluride, and is cap
able of running many more. Electricity
and cheap mining are nee, ,sarily re-
lated, and bid fair, as Mr.. hunn showed,
to change the methods of reduction. The
resolution referring to the Denver Expo
sition was the subject of general discus
sion. 1t created more interest than any
other topic before the congress. Secre-
tary Johnson favored the proposition to
have the congress assume direct con-
troll of the plans and arrangements of
the exhibits, and showed how much
more could be accomplished in this way
than by the counties working separately.
Others thought county commissioners
would appropriate more If they had all
the responsibility. A middle course was
decided upon, leaving to the congress
the work of securing floor space and pre-
pairing plans for the exhibit and sug-
gesting methods for organizing the work.
George J. I[indel Of Denver, made a
talk on railroad rates. showing how rates
Disseminated against interior towns and
held the closest attention of the congress
for over an hour. He was invited to
come before the next congress and help
formulate the fight for equitable ADJUST
ment of the rates.
A resolution was also adopted indors-
ing the State Bureau of Mines, and urg-
ing the Western Slope counties to con-
tribute to a permanent exhibit to this
bureau. Also one favoring an adjust
ment of railroad rates so that terminal
or distributing point on the western
slope of Colorado would be established.
Several other resolutions were also In
troduced on minor subjects, and the
session closed by electing NJ. L. Allison
of Grand Junction, president; George w.
Stephans of Delta, vice president; J. Il.
Mcclure Of Montrose, treasurer, and JAS.
Abbott of Ouray, secretary. The place
of meeting was fixed at Delta, and the
time the first Tuesday in September
of next year. This has been the largest
attended meeting in the history Of the
congress, and every delegate and visitor
goes away feeling that splendid time
and profitable meeting has been held.

Berlin, June 24.-It is expected here
that an international monetary confer

The opposing sixteen members come

starting. When burly chap, with only
his undershirt and pantaioons on, came
forward with a tub of lukewarm water
in his arms, he was 'tendered a rousing
reception. The owner of the dogs came
in next.
In order to guard against any tricks
that either might resort to in the way
of saturating the dogs hide with
cayenne pepper or any such substance
that would prevent the antagonistic
dog from retaining its grip, both dogs
were ducked in the tub, washed with
soapine, and thoroughly sponged and
dried. The Carbondale dog went by
the sobriquet of Tony" and his
Wilkes-Barre relative rejoiced in the
name of cap"
For thirty minutes they fought like
| demons and their blood bespattered the
pit. 1t was an evenly matched fight up
to this point. The second round was
greatly in favor of "Tony," and 50 on
from that to the end. From dog-fght-
ing standpoint of view. the encounter
between the dogs was regarded with
admira tion. but nothing more brutal
could be offered as an exhibition any
where. The Wilkes-Barre sports went
