Fouy-one States and three Territories

in Tomlinson hall as the climax Of a six

Admission to the hall was confined
strictly TO ticket-holdsrs. As a result
many people were denied admittance.

to empower the national committee ap-

FELL INTO A WELL.
A Smart Youth and a Cat Have an Un-
 pleasant Ducking.

A Mexican boy named Juan Encinas was badly injured Wednesday by fall ing into a well. He with a couple of other boys were amusing themselves by throwing stones into the well. En- cinas thought it would be a good joke to throw a cat into the water and he no sooner conceived the idea than he went into the house and returned with tabby. He leaned over the we'll hold ing the cat by the tail and was on the point of dropping the feline when he lost his balance and followed the cat. There was only about three feet of water, which was enough to break the force of his drop, but he had a leg broken and the cat made matters un- pleasant by jumping on his head to keep out of the water and badly scratching him. His companions. frightened twhat occurred, ran has tily away and informed nobody of the accident. The boy and the cat re- mained in the we'll fully an hour be- fore being discovered. A rope was lowered and he was hauled to the sur face along with his four legged com panion in misery.
 The boys face was a sight-deep fur

WOMEN CAN VOTE.
The Attorney General of Colorado Ren-

DENVER, Aug. 20.-Attorney Gen re-s Carr recived communication yes- l6 y morning from Mrs. Perhnia .-s41cr Davis of the Salvay Process com pany, of Detroit, Mich. The letter con- tained the following inquiry: "Do the women of Colorado vote for the pres idential electors just as the men do or are their votes thrown out?" Attor- ney General Carr, for the benefit of thousands of people who are in doubt as to the answer, replied that the wo- men vote just as the men do and their votes are counted in the same manner. He quotes from the constitution of the United States and says that the cleo tors of each state shall be chosen in a manner selected by the legislature of each state.
 During the constitutional convention in Colorado, it was decided that the first legislature of Colorado appoint the electors and after that the vote of the people shall determine the electors The matter was not brought before the convention until one day prior to it's adjournment of the convention and the election for president. Judge Eel ton of Canon City noticed that no pro- vision had been made for the election or appointment of electors so the i'm. portant matter was speedily adjusted and the power given to the legislature

Terrible Cloudburst in
 New Mexico.
Town of MogoIlon Almost
 Wiped Away.
Twenty Persons Reported Lost and One Hundred Families
 Are Homeless.

DENVER, Aug. GOA special from Mogollon, New Mexico, says: A cloud burst occurred here yesterday after noon about o'clock which resulted in rendering 100 families homeless and drowning about twenty people, but so far only three bodies have been recov- cred. The water was eight feet deep in the streets and washed about thirty houses down. The flood carried away the shop and all the supplies of the Conf dence mine. The Deep Down Mining company lost its main office and the assay office These offices were situ- ated in canyon and the water swept down, rushing, turbulent stream fifteen feet deep, carrying everything 1 before 1t. There were at least twenty l families living in the track of the flood and their adobe dwellings were washed away in twinkling. The property of the Colonial Mining con- pany of Boston, Massachusetts, suf- fered to a large extent, the assay of flee, mill house, powder house and blacksmith shop being washed away It is feared that the mine is filled with mud and water.
 Nine teams engaged in hauling ore for the Confidence mill were washed over a steep precfpice and killed. The men working in the tunnel of the mine barely escaped with their lives.
 The storm was general in this part of the county, but 1t is feared that the greatest damage is done at Graham, g few miles from here, but no news car be received from there owing to the telephone communication being brok an

Derailed by Cuban ln-
 surgents.
Six Soldiers Killed, Twenty
 One Wounded.
1t Was Passenger Train Escorted by a Strong Body of Troops
 Four Days Late.

HAVANA, Aug. 20-The mystery of a missing military passenger train which was due here last Sunday, has been solved and it furnishes another instance of the audacity of the insur- gents and of the troubled state of af- fairs existing in the province of Pinar del Rio.
 On Sunday last a train having aboard a number of civilian passengers and a strong escort of troops left Consolation del Sur, Pinar del Rio, for this city, and it should have arrived here the same day. Scouts were sent out who reported that the passenger coach, to- gether with the military cars, had been derailed between Bucuanaga and Ia con, and it appeared as if heavy firing had taken place.
 This stirred up the military authori- ties and troops were sent toward the scene.
 The troops have just returned and brought with them the passengers, who are over forty-eight hours late, and the survivors and wounded of the military escort of the train. The lat ter, it appears, were running between Canacagua and Tacon when the train was compelled to slow up on account of an obstruction across the track. A smart rife fire was opened upon the train from both sides of the road, while a party of insurgents removed the rails, thus catching the military train in a trap, from which it could neither advance nor retreat.
 Six soldiers were killed and twenty one wounded.

BIG DEAL.
American Syndicate Dealing in Mil
 lions With Argentine Republic.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. - Reports have reached here from Buenos Ayres to the effect that an American syndi- cate has offered Argentine Republic '$150, 100000 in silver in exchange for $10o,O00,OO0 in bonds, payable in gold, at 4 per cent interest, with one-haIf per cent added as sinking fund. The offer of the Americans is said to be part of a general plan by which Ar genuine is seeking to go from a paper to a specie basis. The plan contem- plates that each of the new silver dol lars shall take up two of the paper dollars. It is said that the market value of the Argentine per cent gold bonds is such that the transaction would prove a profitable one for the Americans, while its incidental effect would be to dispose of considerable supply of the surplus silver of the United States.

MAGNIFICENT SPECTACLE.
Burning Oil Shot One Hundred Feet
 Into the Air.

SISTERVILLE. W. Va, Aug. 20.- The Ogden oil fields was the scene last night of the most brilliant spectacle ever witnessed in this country. The famous Newbanks oil we'll, which is also strong producer of gas, took fire through accident, burning the der rick and several thousand barrels of oil. When the pressure was reduced at the mouth of the we'll, the gas broke the spouting oil into sprays, throwing it into the air more than 100 feet.
 The flame was in the shape of a huge torch, the spraying oil forming into glistening drops in the air and dropping in a dazzling shower, while the smoke, densely black, lifted way above the mountain. The hills last night were covered by sight who ! came from all over the region. The loss to the owners is enormous, as the we'll was producing 200 barrels a day l There is no way to put out the fire, as the gas and oil pressure are constant and the roaring heat of the flames ter rife.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2O-Al- though the full confession of Hattie Overman has not been made public, certain parts of it are known. Miss Overman admits her intimacy with Dr. Brown and says Mrs. Brown knew of their relations. Miss Overman charges others with wrong doing in addition to Dr. Brown. Mrs. Tunnell in her testimony before the Congregational conference Monday night said that Dr, Brown had paid her altogether about $500 for keeping out of the way. She says that Miss Overnan had an opera tion performed as result of her in timacy with Brown and that she Mrs TunnelD was paid to go to Tacoma with Miss Overman
