bers of the American Institute of Min
ing Engineers arrived here today on
a special train from the east to attend
the seventy-frst meeting of the insti-

ter, or where technical operations Incl
dental to mining are conducted. This
is the third in this city, the first being
in 1882, and the second in 1889. 1t is an
ticipated that the attendance will be not
less than 200. The total membership
of the institute is 200, and it includes
members from every state in the union
in which mining operations of any kind
are conducted.
The local executive committee has ar
ranged a more than ordinarily attrac-
tive program, including visits to the
smelters to Fort Logan, where the in
stitute will witness % dress paIade Of
the garrison; to the School of mines at
Golden; to Cripple Creek, Florence, Pu-
eblo and Colorado Springs and to Black
Hawk.

A HAYMARKET RELIC.
A Missing Anarchist Left a Trunk Full
of Dynamite.

CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-Joseph Best
man, said by the police to be an anarch-
ist left at IS Sedgwick court three years
ago this fail trunk containing sufIi-
cient dynamite to have destroyed the
lives of hundreds of citizens.
The discovery was made by accident.
Bestman was not found but the po-
lice received information in the after
noon that he is living in Dallas, Tex,
and wired the chief of police there to
arrest him at once.
The discovery of this enormous guam
tity of explosive matter and the story
OF Bestman himself, so far as now
known to the police, bring to light tale
of anarchistic plotting such as Chicago
has not had revealed since the dark
days of 1885, when the existence of the
city was threatened, and Spies and his
comrades swung on the gallows for the
bomb throwing at the Haymarket mas
sacre. Much correspondence with the
condemned anarchists was also found.

CHICAGO, Sept 20.-Unless the stock
holders of the western roads soon take
action similar to that which resulted in
the formation of the Joint Traffic asso-
citation among the trunk lines of the east.
there are serious time ahead for some of
the western lines.
The situation among western roads
has never been worse in their history
than it is today and it is telling severely
on their revenues. Each line is putting
in reduced rates to secure business as
it offers and indications are that rates
on all commodities in consequence will
soon be down to bedrock. The bulletins
issued by the agents of the roads in
Washington show that the tariffs are
failing in their revenues to the roads
and in the opinion of some of the con-
servative traffic officials of the western
roads the only thing that will remedy
the situation is action by the owners
and investors in the roads and in the de-
mand that the presidents take such &C.
ton as will in a short time put an end to
the decentralization.
The Western Freight association is
the latest organization of the roads in
freight matters and Commissioner Midg-
ley of that organization found it neces-
sary to issue last week personal appeal
to the roads to inform his office that the
same time the information is sent to the
interstate commerce commission, of pro-
posed reduced rates. Numerous in
stances have occurred where the men,
bers of the association have given the
yi,,t If
their intention to cut rates, and his first
information has come from the agent at
Washington. He has asked the roads
to notify him simultaneously with the
notice sent to the commission and to
continue the pratice until better condi
tions can be inaugurated. One of the
prominent officials of one of the great
western lines said today: "'I am con-
yinced that if the stockholders and in
vestors do not interest themselves in
this matter before long some of the lines
will have great difficulty in avoiding
bankruptcy"

USED HIS GUN.
A San Diego Shooting With Fatal Re
suit.

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 20.-Manuel Bel
lima, a rancher of San Luis Rey valley,
forty miles north of here, was shot and
instantly killed last night by Albert j.
Foss. The latter resides on his mothers
ranch. His story is that hearing his
dogs barking and his cattle making a
disturbance, he seized his shotgun and
went to see what was the matter. He
saw man skulking among the trees
near Mrs. Foss' residence. Young Foss
hailed the intruder several times and
getting no reply fired a load of buckshot
and the man, who proved to be Bellina
dropped dead. AS a result of the inquest
Foss is under arrest. His aged mother,
it seems, was brutally assaulted by an
Indian named Jose Chavez, two years
ago, and Chavez was sentenced to forty
years. Foss says that it was because
he recalled that affair that he used his
gen so promptly.
