SNOW In COLORADO.
Carried Over a Cliff by a snow slide
Rainbow Route BlOcked-ROad
Open Between Durango ana
SilvertOn.

Denver, Nov. 26.-A Times special
from Silverton, Colo, says: W. W. Bull
lock, foreman of the Veta Madre mine,
was taken over cliff and 600 feet down
the mountain yesterday by a small snow
slide that started under his feet while he
was tramping the trail.
He was severely shaken up and bruised,
but not seriously in Djured.
The engine on the Rainbow route was
upset while bucking snow near Chat
tanooga. Mr.. Liverman, the manager,
says they will get trains through to Red
Mountain tomorrow.
The road is all right between Silverton
and Durango.
Not less than two and one-half feet of
snow fell during the last storm, yet no
fatalities are reported.

TO-DAY'S CONVERSATIONS.

The Denver Chamber of Commerce has
appointed Baron Richthofen as foreign
commissioner to make known abroad the
resources of Colorado. He will depart
soon for London, where he will have an
Office at st. Smithin's Lane.
Zero weather prevails generally in Colo
RADIO. On the west slope of the mountains
snow has fallen in many places to depth
of two to four feet.
rapid fall in temperature during the
past thirty-six hours is reported from
almost every point on the Pacific coast.
In many places in Omaha, Washington
and Idaho the thermometer WAS below
freezing point last night and to-day. At
Fresno, the center of the grape culture in
California, the temperature fell to 20 de-
grees, the lowest point recorded in nine
years. With colder weather predicted,
owners of citrus orchards are greatly
alarmed.

New York, Nov. 26.-The reorganiza-
tion committee of the Santa Fe railway
to-day elected E. P. Ripley, president; D.
B. Robinson, first vice president; AL
dace F. Walker, chairman of the board of
directors; Paul Morton, of the Colorado
Fuel company, third vice president, The
second vice president has not yet been
named.
The new president has been third vice
president of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul.
Mr.. Robinson had the support of the
American security holders, almost with
out exception, but their votes could not
elect him without the support of the for.
eign interest which favored E. T. JEFF
frey.
Mr.. Ripley was agreed upon as com-
promise candidate.
1t is understood that Mr.. Robinson will
have undisturbed control of the operation
of the system, while the president will
look chiefly after the traffic.

Omaha, Nov. 26.-The annual election
of officers of the Trans-Mississippi COM
mercial congress was the first order of
business when the convention convened
this morning, but work in this direction
was slow.
PLENTY OF WORK FOR PRINCE.
Preliminary to taking up the regular
program. R. W. Richardson, of Omaha,
introduced the following declaration, dia-
metrically opposite to the free silver re-
solution previously offered by ex-Gov.
Prince:
"The Trans-Mlssissipp commercial
congress, at its 9Th annual session,
respectfully represents to the congress of
the United States;
"Recognizing the wisdom of the great
commercial nations of the world in de-
claring that the gold supply is all sutfi
cient and req quisitely stable for measure
and standard of values, we demand the
maintenance of the present gold standard
as the basis of our circulation, until such
time as the leading commercial nations
of the world shall, in the course of ma
tural events or by international agree
ment or otherwise, unite on a ratio.
APURE BuNooMBE CLAUSE.
"We desire the largest use of silver in
our coinage consistent with the re-
cognized standard of values.
"We deny the statements and declara-
tions of the free silver advocates that the
law of 1878, dropping silver from the
