FOREST FIRES RAGING.
Glenwood Springs Surrounded By a
Belt of Flames.

Denver, Colo, Sept, PA special to
the Republican from Glenwood Springs,
Colo, says: This place is now the CEN
ter of huge forest fires. Since yester-
day morning new fires have developed
in every timbered section that is below
timber lire. The town is in no dan
ger. but serious loss will result in sew
eral of the valleys. The nearest fire is
on Four Mile creek and each side of
the mountains are mass of flames.
Cardiff is in a direct line and the streets
are filled with cinders. AT noon today
the sun was nearly obscured by the
smoke and looked like a huge ball of
fire. The odor of the burning timber
was very noticeable. The most severe
windstorm Of the year ragged for two
hours.
The plateaus and parks are so dry
that the sagebrush and grass burn like
a prairie fire. Hunters are returning
from the White river country on &C
count of the fires that are prevalent
there. On the east Fulford is in serious
danger and the fires are burning fierce
ly for over 90 miles in width. From
Lookout maintain, just east of town,
a circle of fire and smoke can he seen.
Tonight the wind has gone down and
the indications are for rain. 4 courier
just in from the Cattle creek country
says that the fire is still confined to the
timber lines and it is hoped the valleys
will not be burned before a rain comes.

AMBASSADOR TO ENGLAND.
Governor Wolcott Recommended and
Henry Adams Mentioned.

New York, Sept. PA dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says
President Mckinley is considering the
recommendation of prominent puphc
men of Massachusetts, that Governor
Wolcott be appointed ambassador TO
Great Britain. notwithstanding the
strong endorsements which the Mas
sachusetts governor has, it is not be-
lieved in well informed circles that he
will be rendered the position. In any
event the president does not propose
10 make a selection until the arrival
here of Colonel Hay, when the matter
VIII tie discussed and settled. In view
of the presidents desire to consult with
Colonel Hay, it is believed IN some
quarters that Mckinley Will De VIKING
to accept a suitable man who may De
recommended by the new secretary.
The name of Henry Adams, warm
friend of Colonel Hay, is mentioned in
this connection.
Mir. Adams is we'll known as a his
torian and writer. While he has had
no diplomatic experience, 1t is recalled
that his father, Charles Francis Adams,
was minister to Great Britain during
the rebellion; his grandfather, John
Quincy Adams, held the same position
lust before the war Of 1912 and his great
grandfather, John Adams, was also
credited to the British government as
minister Immediately after the revolu-
ton.
Mr.. Adams is a highly educated gen
tleman. a ready speaker and would, his
friends believe, creditably represent
this government at the court of st.
James.
Representative Hits name is only
mentioned in circles outside of the
White House and it is generally con-
ceded that he stands no chance for the
appointment.

Mr. J. NJ. Burnett, business manager
Of the Rocky Mountain News, was the
firSt witness called. He identified the
copy of the News containing a report
Of the offending lecture by Chaplain
Mcintyre Frank E. Carruthers, bust
ness manager of the Denver Times,
was also called for a similar purpose.
Miss Minnie j. Reynolds, who report
ed the lecture for the News, was called
10 verify the report published and from
which extracts contained in the charges
against Chaplain Mcintyre were taken.
She fully corrcborated the report she
had written, which was introduced as
testimony. Miss Reynolds testified that
Chaplain McIntyre's reference to Cap
tain Robley D. Evans as Fighting
Sob was cOntemOtuouS in manner.
Cross-examination failed to shake her
testimony that Chaplain Mcintyre as
serted that Admiral Sampson reported
himself within four miles of the Span
ish ship Cristobol Colon when she sur
rendered, in order that he might secure
his share of the prize money, and that
Sampson, though no more entitled to
participate than were the members of
his audience, would receive $4,000.

Oregon as TO man ever fought ship be-
FORE would receive but $500. She
also testified that Chaplain Mcintyre
declared that the contracts for all east
ern built battleshi9s were secured
through political pulls, and hence the
Oregon. which was built in the west,
was the only one honestly built She
maintained that the chaplain said that
while the Oregon was going into the
fight the Iowa was going to the rear,
and that she was kept there during the
fight, and said that he offered no eXpla-
nation oe that alleged action.
Paul W. Beck, who reported the lee
ture of Chaplain Mcintyre for the Den
yer Times, was next called, and corrob-
Grated the testimony of Miss Reynolds.

Robertson asked Barnes if he knew

city's sources of supply and the latter
replied: mo: nor the amount of their
respective rights cannot be determined
without measurement after rights are
adiudicated."

FARMERS HAVE WATER ON THE
BRAIN.
E. B. Wicks. Joseph Lippman, Charles
Longson and Henry H. Harries, stock
holders in the Pleasant View Irrigation
company, represented that the abandon
ment of the PaTley'S canal by the. city
last month left the companys ditch IN
vastly different condition than what was
required by the terms of the contract be
tween the city and the irrigation com
pany in October, 1888. The communicative
informed the council that the city would
be held responsible for delay or failure
to put the ditch in as good and service
able condition as it was ten years ago.
Attention was also called TO the unsdIe
fact that the city would be expected to
al least agree with the company TO keep
3,771 feet of flume in repair, because when
the contract was made allowing the city
to run Parley's water through the COM
pany's ditch only 400 feet of hume was
required. For all these and the alleged
loss of water the comDanys representa-
tives demand satisfaction. The matter
was referred to the irrigation commit
tee.
MEASURING WEIRS NEEDED.
State Engineer GemmelI called atten-
ton to the state law requiring the taking
of measurements of all streams and the
fling OF records of such water measure
ments with, the state engineer not later
than Dec. l, and annually thereafter. 1t
was represented that the measurements
should be made over weirs to obtain an
accurate record of flow at varying
periods The matter was referred TO
the committees on irrigation and water
works, with the city engineer associated.
THE MAYORS WATER WARNING.
A resolution recommended by the COM
mittee on waterworks was adopted. 1t
directs the mayor to issue a Droclama-
ton in accordance with the provisions OF
