Colorado People VIII Hold Big Demon
strntion Next Week.
Denver, June 22.-The Times this
afternoon says:
The time for the reception to Senator
Teller will be changed from July to
date not later than week from
Wednesday, or July 1. There is pos-
sibility that the great demonstration
may take place week from to-day.
While the exact time is not deter
mined, the original intention to have
the affair on July 4 has met with such
general opposition especially from
the mountain towns, that that plan has
been abandoned in order to have the
outpouring commensurate with the i'm
portance of the event.
When the general committee on ar
rangements fixed upon Independence
day, 1t was not because that was deem
ed to be best. but for the reason that
1t was not then thought that Senator
Teller would be willing to forego or
shorten his visit to his mother In Hin
OILS SO that he could be present before
that time. A close friend of the sena,
tor, however, Informed the chairman
of the committee this morning that 1t
would be safe to make arrangements
for the rally and ratification at tim.
not later than the first Of next month.
Another and perhaps more import
ant reason why the Fourth should not
be chosen, is that several hundred
Colorado Democrats who will be ac-
companied by as many more citizens of
all political parties, will have pressing
business on hand at Chicago mt that
time. The movement to send big
crowd to the National Democratic con-
vention to talk for free coinage, has
gained such an impetus that the plan
Is now m assured success. 1t is cx-
pccted that the money power will make
last rallying effort to stem the tide

the people that justice must be done

emnnnting from Wall street. 1t Is pro-
posed that delegations from the West
shall be on the ground. giving by their
presence moral support to firm stand
for silver. and II possible for the selec-
tion of Senator Teller as the standard
bearer. The special train could leave
after the reception and the party would
go fresh from the greatest ''hurrah" the
West has seen. and the demonstration
will amount to that. into the camp OF
the enemies upholding the hands Of the
silver delegates to the national conven-
tion.
The sub-commIttces are hard at work
and will be ready to report progress at
the meeting of the general committee
Of arrangements to be held Mt the
Chamber Of Commerce on Thursday
evening.

1--WE see in the private and official
life of Henry NJ. Teller n beacon, burn
Ing brightly, warning the people of
of the threatening shores of dissension.
He has but now publicly abandoned the
Republican party, with which he has
been associated since its first organi
Zation. When to his official record are
united an unsullied private life, a char
acter without n blot or stain, n grntr-
full, generous nature, n patriotism that
knows neither state nor section, we
feel that we are but performing duty
to our beloved country in thus calling
attention to Mr.. Teller's merits and
availability as a candidate for presl-
dent as one upon whom all Populists
may consistently unite while they
strenuously preserve and strengthen
their organization.
."rhe necessity and wisdom of dis
passionate consideration of his claim
upon the support of the American peo-
pie have been the more apparent since

abandoned their party under this III
spiration have announced him Us their
nominee for president of the United

New York, June 22.-The Advertiser
tomorrow will say: Information re-
ceived In this city to-day from the
scene of the Cretan revolution against
Turkey by Solon Vlieto, editor of the
Greek newspaper Atlantis, shows the
Turkish troops are resorting to atroci-
ties which equal in point of bloodiness
their terrible barbarities in the Armen,
ian war.
According to these advices the Cretan
revolutionists, who now number about
$4,000 men, all well equipped, are daily
gaining In strength, and with the aid
probabilities that the Cretans will be
successful in gaining independence.
The last massacre occurred on May DO
in Canea, the principal city Of Crete.
In this fanatical crusade against Chris.
tianity an attache of the Russian con
sulate and another of the Greek con-
sulate were murdered by the Turks, al
though they were in no way connected
with the war.
The massacre began about noon, when
n false rumor was spread by the Turks
that n British family had been mur.
dered by the Cretans. The rumor caus-
ed panic and the Christians closed
their shops and ran home for safety.
The gates were closed to prevent the
escape Of the inhabitants and In the
massacre which followed 1t Is estlin

Kansas wheat Crop.

Chicago. June 22.-From returns fur.
nished from every county In Kansas, In
answer to inquiries by the Post. the to.
tnl yield Of wheat Is found to amount
to about 100000 bushels. That Is
almost double quantity produced In
the same state the year previous. II
also exceeds the average yield OF the
last five years. which included the phe'
nomcnnily heavy crop Of 1892. As the
requirements OF the people Of Kansas
for bread and seed are not to exceed
100000 bushels per annum. It follows
that from her i3.OOO.OOO crop of the
present year she can export to com
munitIcs outside Of her own bordcrs
$4,000. 900 bushels. or about 10.OoO!OOi
bushels more than the total production
Of Argentina last year. according &c

Briquettcs made from coal dust are
likely to flnd a rival in localities where
wood saving is largely carried on. Good
fuel Ia now being made from wood saw
dust, and there Is no reason why saw
dust, II we'll agglomcrated. should not
make excellent briqucttes. They arc
said to be successfully manufactured
in Germany. and in an exceedingly sim

dust becomes sticky. owing to Its resin
Gus properties, and then 1t is compress
ed into suitable blocks In the usual way.
One man with machine driven by two

Of the sawdust itself. All woods are not
