VIII BE a superb Display.

Denver July 31.-Secretary AIcNa-
mara says that the Festival of Noun
tain and Plain this year will be the
most brilliant display ever seen in Den
yer. The subscriptions made up to the
present time, while not so large as
was hoped for, are still large enough to
warrant the assertion. The Chinese peo-
pie are at work upon the decorations
for their floats and the suits to be worn
in their parade. and committee will
leave for San Francisco in a few days
to make the selection of the special
features proposed. They say that the
display will be the most Chinique ever
seen in this country.
A letter from doc" Wallace (Navajo
BID says that he will have fifty In
dians here, and that the fire dance will
be given for the first time outside the
limits of the reservation or in the pres
ence of any white persons other than
the employees of the agency and the
writer. He proposes to have on one of
the floats women weaving blankets
and men making the silver ornaments
for which the tribe is noted. so that all
may see how these things are done.

We Must Hold Snmna.

Chicago. July 31.-A special to the
Times-Herald from Washington says:
There is room to believe that the Nc
Kinley administration will not pursue
the policy urged by Mr.. Cleveland in
the matter of the abandonment of the
rights of this government in Samoa.
In discussing the Samoan question n
few days before his departure, the
President said that the annexation of
Hawaii by the United States with the
proposed construction of the Nicara-
guam canal under the control of the
United States had placed value on
Samoa which the country could i'll af-
ford to lose. Its location is such that
it is directly between Australia and
Nicaragua and its value as way sta
ton for vessels proceeding to Australia
from Honolulu or from the proposed
Nicaraguan canal will be great.
For these reasons President McKin-
ley will not attempt to carry out the
policy advocated by Mr.. Cleveland.
looking to the abrogation of the treaty
rights between Great Britain and Ger
many and the United States of 1889.
which gave the signatory powers equal
rights in the government of Samoa.

Non-unIon Men Shoot.

ment prevails here at 10 o'clock. AS the
afternoon turn of non-union men who
have taken the places of the striking
iron workers at the Scottdale iron
works were going home one of them,
said to be man named Painter, be-
came incensed at the remarks of some
boys and deliberately fired Mt them. A
large crowd was gathered about the
station at the time and they started af-
ter the non-uniOn man, who fired five
shots into the crowd before he reached
the Geyer House, where he boarded.
The hotel was Immediately surrounded
by an excited crowd and it was with
some difficulty that Burgess Porter got
them cooled down and had he not had
the assistance of the strike leaders
there is no telling what the maddened
crowd would have done.
Another non-union man whose name
could not be learned drew his revolver
on Pittsburg street and fired several
shots. He was knocked down and pref
ty badly beaten before he could be
reached by the officers and taken to
his boarding house. The excited crowd
is massed about the station and the
non-union men are afraid to venture
out.

COMING TO COLORADO.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson Is Look
Ing up Cavalry Horses and Sugar Beets.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson Is Look
inEup Cavalry Horses and Sugar Bsets.
Washington, July 31.-Secretary Will
son of the Department or Agriculture
will spend his vacation. which he Will
take in August, in travelling through
Colorado, Utah, Wyoming. the Dako-
tas and Montana. with the object of
studying the resources of these states
for rearing horses suitable for the Eu-
ropean armies.
The secretary has written to United
State ministers and has requested some
Americans travelling abroad to give
him information regarding the exact
qualifications demanded for the army
horses of Europe, and when this infor-
nation Is received farmers bulletin
will be issued, with view to having
this country do more in supplying the
demand than it has in the past. The
only objection to horses raised on the
plains of the West as army horses fot
European countries lies in the fact that
the animals are not large enough.
The Sioux pony possesses all the
qualifications of health and hardness
that could be desired, and it is be-
lieved that by proper feeding and by
the introduction of heavier stock on
the sire side 1t can be brought tip to the
required size.
Mr.. Wilson believes that IL stock
men and farmers can grow the horses
needed to recruit the cavalry of Euro
pean countries they will get good
price for them.
Secretary Wilson will also look over
the states in which he will spend his
vacation with view to seeing what
can be done for the development OF
the beet industry.

1t is not possible to be too conscien-
tious. but 1t is easy to imagine that
conscientlousness includes what it does
not include. In a recent religious con-
ference a devout missionary objected
to accepting millionaire's gift OF two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars for
missionary purposes on the ground
that the rich man is not so religious
az the missionary thinks he ought to
be. This man became rich in almost
the only way In which vast wealth can
be accumulated honestly-by the exer-
else OF superior business ability. He
has given substantial proof of his deep
interest in the welfare of those less
favored pecuniarily by setting aside
several million dollars to be used for
their benefit In religious. moral and
educational ways. The objecting mis-
sionary evidently had been reading
the sweeping TRADES of the anarchistic
newspapers against the possessors OF
wealth, and-what few intelligent read
ers do-accepting their allegations as
true.

citizens, better neighbors, and give n
happier and better type to man and
wOmanhood."
President Andrews. in the interview,
referred to the silver issue. and he
spoke of men who ought to be in line
with him in standing by their colors.
He said the vote of Massachusetts was
very respectable one as compared
with elections since 1850. In conclusion

THE SOCIAL DEMOCRACY.


Mr. Debs Tells What the New organization
Is
Chicago, July 3O.-The New Time of
Monday will contain an article by
Eugene V. Debs, in which he says:
"I'he Social Democracy Is n great So
cial, economic and political organiza-
ton. 1t Is at once national and inter
national. Politically speaking, it is a
party in and for itself, and within
twelve months its national representa-
tives will have formulated national
political platform. Similarly the various
state representatives will have adopt
ed state platforms and the municipal
representatives local platforms.
by far the greater part of the criti-
cism has been directed against the col
ony CONTROL and there are those who
still insist that this is all there is to
the movement, or, at least, that this is
its chief purpose.
"ro all those be 1t said that this is
simply one of the features of the move
ment and has been assigned special
department, known as the colonization
department.

to organize isolated colonies, and they
who have worked themselves up in de-
sccribing. the fate of other colonies.
and Projectors of calamity have been
wasting their time"

A patent has been issued in the Uni
ted States for novel process for water
proofng textile fabrics. In carrying
out the process the fabric to be treated
is wetted with water and placed be-
tween sheets or rollers. One of these
sheets or rollers, which Is preferably
of tin or aluminium, is connected to the
positive pole of an electric generator
and the other sheet or roller to the
negative pole. By employing such a
dissolving positive electrode and pass
ing current through the wet fabric the
fibres are made water-repellent. The
inventor states that the waterprooting
is due to the formation on the positive
conductor of metallic oxids of some
kind, produced by the liberation of
nascent oxygen on the positive conduc-
tor, due to the electrolytic action of the
current on the water with which the
goods are saturated, and which oxide
enters in the tibres of the goods,
aided by the current, and prob
ably is combined partly chemically md
partly mechanically with the fbres,
making the same waterproof by the
presence of the oxide In or on the fibre
The strength of the current applied
depends upon the character of goods
submitted to treatment, but care must
be taken not to carry the process too
far. The nascent hydrogen on the neg
ative side will. If the time of treatment
il too long, accumulate and then begin
to act as a reducing agent, and in case
the period of treatment is prolonged
beyond the proper time, then the
nascent hydrogen will reduce the oxide
OF the metal in the goods to the me-
tallic state, and the combination or
union of the oxide with the flbres will
be destroyed by the reduction of the
oxide TO a metallic state. The process
Is said to have the great merit of maxi
ing the individual fibres and threads
water-repellent, while the pores of the
goods are in no way stopped up or
closed. Consequently, if used on cloth
ing i. would not prevent evaporation
taking place through the interstices bc-
tween the threads.

NEW UNIVERSITY.
f. Benjamin Andrews Has Been Sclecte
ar the First President.


ar the First President.
Providence, II. L. July 3O.-Presi-
dent Il. Benjamin Andrews, whose
resignation as the head of Brown
University caused profound sensati ton
last week on account of his free silver
views and expressions, acknowledged
to an interviewer to-day that he had
accepted the presidency of a new uni
versity. The institution will be pop
ular college, at first something after
Chautauqua movement, and later n
large educational institution is to be de-
veloped. The position as president was
rendered to President Andrews within
the past five weeks by the founders of
the new college, John Brisben Walker,
editor of the Cosmopolitan Magazine.
He is prominent figure In certain the
cries of education and believes in the
advancement of his ideas. In the last
presidential campaign he was on the
silver side of the contest and handsome
ly entertained William j. Bryan at his
place on the Hudson.
In many OF their ideas and opinions
upon leading political and financial
questions President Andrews and Mr..
Walker are said to be agreeable. Plans
and arrangements regarding the new
university have been exchanged be-
tween the two gentlemen and they have
fully agreed upon all of thin, and the
movement is promised financial support
that will tend to make 1t success at
any rate. The inducement Is satisfac-
