Special Trains Westward.
Denver, July 3.-The Republican thIs
morning says:
About G.OOO tourists arrived In Den
yer yesterday, OF which 1000 continued
their Journey westward after a brief
lay over.
BY 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon the
rush of Christian EndeavOr travel
through Denver was about over, and
the weary railroad officials went home
and tried to sleep or their nervous ex-
element. Some Of the Denver Il Rio
Grande officials were on their feet for
thirty.siX hours ut the Union depot,
with scarcely any Intervals OF rest.
Two men We're busy rs ants nll the
time. keeping track OF the incoming
trains and scheduling them out again.
The Denver & Rio Grande men are be-
Ing showered with compliments by rail-
readers all over the country Tor the ad-
mirable way they handled the crowds.
At least eighty per cent. of the entire
travel through this state passed over
the Denver l. Rio Grande line. and not
one passenger was hurt en- route. The
trains were hurried through and de-
livered to the Rio Grande Western on
time. Up to last night there had not
been any accidents. and there was not
the Gsghtest confusion, although there
were from thirty to forty extra trains
on the road.
Representatives OF the eastern lines
had not received very complete data up
to last night. by which to estimate the
number OF tourists brought into Den
YER. General Agent Nallery Of the
Burlington said that his line brought In
fully 1900 people on Thursday and the
Union Pacific brought In nearly the
same number. The Rock Island, San
tn Fe and Missouri Pacific each had
several heavy special trains. Just
what proportion OF those who arrived
were destined beyond can only be esti>
mated from the figures furnished by
the Denver & RIO Grande and Midland.
from which 1t is vnriously figured that
from 1000 to 5000 persons hnve up to
the present time come In on tickets to
Colorado and from 12.OOO TO 1900 Cali
fornla tourists have passed through the
state.
Passenger men figure that there will
he n great rush of Colorado tourists on
the regular trains from the Fast and
South tomorrow. Sunday and Monday.
Persons expecting to come to Colorado
would wish to avoid the days when the
regular Christian Endeavor parties
were travelling. to escape the crush.
The Rio Grandc has knowledge Of fifty
special car parties that will get In to-
day. besides the New York and Penn
sylvania Christian Endeavor delega-
lions and the Union Pacific and Rock
Island representatives all predict heavy
regular trains.

SERIOUS RIOTS IN CALCUTTA.
Mobs of Mussuimans Parade the Streets,

Calcutta, July 2.-Serious riots among
the Mussulmans occurred here yester-
day evening. Besides the main mol,
scattered gangs of rioters pnraded the
streets, hootlng and stoning the Euro
peans, several of whom We're injured.
Finally the authorities were compelled
to call out the troops. 1t is regarded as
significant that the Hindoos passively
sympathiZed with the rioters.
The situation this morning is still
grave. An additional force of cavalry
was required to dispense the rioters,
but the mobs quickly gathered together
again. - =

An Arizona Copper Mine.

The United Verde mine of Arizona
is producing about 100000 pounds of
copper per month, and, according to
c. NJ. Rolker, in an interview in the
Salt Lake Tribune, will before long
output six times us much. ut is rath-
er startling" he says. "to think of the
effect on the price of copper that will
be produced by such II tremendous in
crease in the supply. The consump-
tion will have to be wonderfully in
creased to prevent the price from GO
ing down." At the rate predicted the
yield from this mine alone would be
1860. 100000 pounds per year. The to-
tal production of copper in the United
States In 1895 was about 1856 900, 900
pounds, and in 1896 4IO,O00,OOO pounds,
over half of which went abroad. The
main hope of sustaining prices of cop
per lies In an increase in home con-
sumption. This promises 10 grow very
fast.

was unsuccessful, partly perhaps be-
cause the British commission which
Investigated the subject last year does
not believe the extinction of the herds
to be SO imminent rs the American
commission thinks 1t to be. Both gov
ernments have reappointed the COM
missioners who Investigated the sub

CATION this season. and the United

ters to patrol duty to prevent depre-

JAPAN'S ATTITUDE.
Reported That Strained Relations May Re

Washington, d. c., July 1.-Toru Ho-
shi. the Japanese minister, Is likely to
be recalled nt an early date.
While officials of the japanese lega-
tion here claim to be in ignorance OF
any such probability. well informed
opinion In State Department circles In
cllnes to the belief that Mr.. HOshI will
nsk for his papers within u short time.
The reasons for the minister's recall
are two-fold. not the least potent of
which IL said to be the feeling of the
Mikndo's government and the minister,
personally. toward the United States
over the Hawaiian difficulty. The min.
lister himself feels insultcd because the
State Department did not apprise him
of the negotiations which led to the
signing of the treaty for the annexation
OF Hawaii. and, while the Japanese
home government il incensed on nc
count of this and what 1t terms lack
of consideration of It's rights In Hawaii
In the framing of the treaty itself. the
condition of Japanese politics affords n
second reason for the minister's re-
call.

H. A. Huston, state chemist of In
diana, in a report says: The estimated
sales OF commercial fertilizers In In
diana during 1896 amounted to $4,000
tons. This is an apparent decrease OF
5000 tons from the estimated sales in
1895. The decrease is, believe, only
apparent, for it now seems probable
that the estimate for 1895 was too
high. owing to considerable number
of tags being carried over which were
really used in 1896, although they ,ap-
near in the 1895 sales. It is probable
that an estimate of $4,000 tons in 1896
and $4,000 tons In 1896 would more
nearly express the real facts. In the
$4,000 tons for which tags were
issued were 10,7O0 tons of bone
and non-acidulated packing house
products; 21.S00 tons of COM
plete" fertilizer. that is, acidu-
lated goods containing phosphoric acid,
nitrogen and potash; $500 tons of am
moniated phosphates, 1,700 tons OF acid
!. phosphate and potash, and 4,400 tons
of plain acid phosphate. OF the bone
and non-acidulated packing house
products 400 tons had received an ad-
dition Of potash. Comparing the sales
il. each group with the sales Of the
previous year, we find that there has
been an increase of $500 tons in sales
of complete" fertilizer. an increase
of 1000 tons in the sales of plain acid
phosphate, decrease of 500 tons in the
sales of ammoniated phospate, a de-
crease of LOO tons Of acid phosphate
and potash, and decrease of 4,aoo
tons in the sales of bone and acidulated
packing house products. F,tr

JOHN r. DOS PASSOS.
Father of Financial Plan to Help
the Farmers.


John r. Dos PaSsos, the father of the
great credit foneler which, in his opin-
lon, Is to save the country by freeing
all the farmers of debt, Is New York
lawyer who Is by no means as vision
AIRY or as impractical as some finan-
ciers try to make him out. Secretary
Gage does not indorse his plan of ''sav.
Ing the country" But the brilliant
Portuguese, whatever may be the fall
ings of his present scheme, has en-
gineered some very fairly successful
financial matters on large scale. For
instance, there Is the great sugar trust.
The Havemeyers when they needed ad-
vice called in Dos Passos, and 1t was
his brain that welded together the mag
nificent organization which has made
SO many millions for It's owners. His
fee Is said to have been $500,O0O He
has been the consulting attorney in the
reorganlzation-ofs several of the largest
railroad properties in the country. He
has written at least one noted brochure
entitled "The Law of Stock Brokers
and Stock Exchanges" which shows
forth much careful study of financial
causation and the obscure laws that
govern the wild movements of stocks.
Before he became corporation lawyer
Dos PasSos practiced criminal law and
did we'll at it. His last criminal case
was his defense of Edward S. Stokes.
After that financiers over all the coun-
try sought his advice. His fees were
enormous. Capitalists hung on his
words. Then he took up corporation
and constitutional law and mastered 1t
