INTERVENTION CERTAIN.
As Soon as the Maine Incident is Closed
it is Expected.

it is Expected.
Chicago, Ill.-The Times-Herald
special from Washington this morning
says:
It is now conceded that soon after
the incident OF the Maine Is cleared up,
President Mckinley will turn his at.
tention to the real question, the appal-
ling disaster that has befellen the peo-
pie IF Cuba.
1t is becoming more apparent that
the chances of successful Intervention
without war with Spain are brighten
ing every day.
If no restraints are put upon narra-
tive it can be shown that notwithstsnd-
ing the hostility and hatred that has
grown up between the people of the
United States and the people of Spain
the government at Madrid has virtual
ly surrendered before the government
of the United States. 1t has as good as
said: "You are strong enough to do
as you like to US. Treat Us justly"
Madrid knows war between Spain
and the United States would result in
the overthrow of their paval forces,
dictation of terms by the victorious re-
public. They know and have confessed
that they are near bankruptcy.
What 10 the real question at Madrid?
1t is not the.retention of Cuba, it is not
making war upon the United States,
blu. it is the preservation OF the
monarchy. If a way is found in which
Spain can surrender Cuba without re-
volution at home, it will be surrender
ed. Spain slumbers over q volcano.
The American government has the
power to set it in eruption.
he condition of affairs in Cuba is
intolerable. There must be relief, and
Spain is obviously powerless to afford
it. Official reports, soon be sent to
congress-. show that nearly one half of
the people have died or emigrated in
three years. Autonomy is as much q
failure as Spanish military operations.
The future ia hopeless.
Therefore it is duty of this govern
ment to intervene. Intervention is
coming. 1t is coming within 80 days
after the Maine incident shall have
been disposed Of.

A New Mexico Incident.

News from Farview in Socorro coun-
ty states that on Saturday last, while
j. Oscar West was engaged at gan e
of pool in one of the saloons, Rsdfor
Jobe looked in the door and shot him
through the breast with a shotgun .
Jobe then mounted his horse and has
not been seen since. The shooting was
the result of jealousy. Jobs's young
wife refused to live with him and West
was pay ing attentions to her.

christi.. Church Rally.

AS announced IN Friday evenings
DAILY RECORD, Pastor and Mrs.
Dickerson, who have had cnarge of
Christian church affairs IN this city
and Florence during the past year.
rendered the membership and friends
of the church their farewell reception
The attendance was not as large as
it should have been, but those pres
eat were thoroughly pleased with the
entertainment provided &
The exercises were opened on the
church grounds, where ice cream,
cake and lemonade were served, the
tables being constantly occupied
Indoors, the program began with sing
ing the old familiar hymn, ''Blest be
the Tie that Binds" Prayer by Rev.
l.. G. Thompson. former pastor Of the
church, was succeeded by short ad-
dress by the retiring pastor relating
to occurrences connected with the
first decade in the history of the
church in which number of interest
ing facts were recited. Members of
the church answered to roll call. or
their absence was accounted for if
known, and then Mr.. Thompson took
the floor. In few words which
welled from the heart, he told Of his
love for and interest in the welfare
of this church in which he spent three
years of hard labor. His remarks
were listened to with the utmost in
terest and found warm reception in
the breasts of those familiar with the
gentleman's earnest efforts here.
An original poem, ''The Queen Of
Flowers written and delivered by
Mr.. Dickerson, was received with cor
diality, and is certainly fine produc-
..sson. In the departure of Rev. and
Mrs. Dickerson from the city the
church feels its loss, as the couple
have been earnestly devoted to duty
and untiring in the effort to build up
and strengthen the church society
with which their lot was cast.
The prime object of this reception
was to secure a balance of 500 re-
naming unpaid on the building debt
which must be met by Sept. lst. In
. large measure it was successful in
its oojsct, but on the whole it is =
knotty problem. there still remaining
an uncomfortable little sum.

One of the echoes from the power

letter received by Mr.. B. G. Woodford
from the gentleman he drove around
the city on that day:

press our appreciation of the cour-
tesy and hospitality which was shown
us during our entire stay in Canon

make it point to drop in and see

ing you some of the attractions of

am well and hearty. We will prob
ably see fight this week. Have to

Love to all of you,
G. A. FOWLER.
THE HONORABLE MR.. THOMAS.

Mr.. Chas. s. Thomas, (democrat) of
Denver, is candidate for the United
States senate to succeed Mr.. Wolcott.
He has given out long interview ON
the subject in which he said some
very good things, in fact, some
secrets which his friends think he
should have kept, at least till after
election this fall. But Charlie is an
honest fellow and honorable and can
not deceive his opponents. He de-
sires fusion, but wants it distinctly
understood that al the Offices must
be filled by Democrats, because "divi-
sion of spoils is ignoble." He would
have fusion of the silver parties to
strengthen and build up his own party
only and to keep his own chances for
Office.
To fully appreciate his unlimited
gall we should recall the fact that
this same Thomas was the democratic
candidate for governor in 1894, and
out of total vote cast of over l80-
600 he barely received 5000. In '96
this small party fused with wing of
the republican party and succeeded
in getting most Of the offices. Now
Mr.. Thomas proposes to forget his
maker and take all the credit to him
self and the spoils for his family.
1t might be well to give Mr.. Thomas
own words so that no one may think
il possible for us TO have misunder-
stood his meaning. Here they are:
IF the Republican party, under the
leadership Of Senator Wolcott, is de-
feated, the victory will be demo
cratic one, whatever the successful
combination may be called, and the
democracy will profit accordingly.
The burning issues of the day are pro-
jected on the political canvas by and
through the action of the national
democracy, whose opponent is the
republican party. Those who assail
tie latter, by whatever narae they
may cal themselves. must draw their
weapons and munitions from the Chi
cago platform. Fusion is recon-
m msnded to the populists, silver repub-
Iicans and democrats in order to
strengthen the democratic party in
1900. No other motive is sufficiently
serious to justify it, for division of
the spoiis is ignoble. Hence declare
that republican defeat is democratic
victory.

Accompanied by Six Natives He Has
Passed Through the Hardest
Trip of His Life.

A letter received from Dali De-
Weese states that he has arrived
safely at Lake Tusumenia in the
Kenia Mountains, from which point
he will commence his exploration and
hunt. His many friends will be
pleased to know that he is in good
health, although much worn out from
a long and hard journey, having
passed through the hardest trip of
his life He is accompanied by a
party of six natives, one of whom
was taken sick on the way out and
two others faces so badly swollen
from being bit by sand flies, gnats
and mosquitoes, that they could not
see- He was compelled to help pull
the boat up one of the streams,
wading in ice cold water up to the
waist and shoulders, yet, he says
this was pleasure compared with the
suffering endured from the flying in
sects, which swarm about in count
less millions He wears a netting
about him and says the pests are 90
thick on the outside that if he could
only clinch their bills on the inside he
would soon have enough material for
good winter overcoat. The dzyz

MORE ELECTRIC POWER.
Tie canon CITY Pfaut MARKS the In.
ansurafion Of Vast Enterprises
Of this Character.

Speaking editorially of the opening
of the Colorado Electric Power plant
at this city and its influences on other
enterprises of like character the
Rocky Mountain News says:
The opening of the electric power
plant at Canon City last week for the
generation and transmission of cleo
.tricity to the Cripple Creek district
was only the Inauguration of vast en-
terprises of this character. The
Canon City plant cost $750,000, and
the power it generates is used thirty
miles away. For several years, in a
small way, power generated num-
Der of miles distant from the mines
has been used in the Telluride district
and always with success from me-
chanicai as well as financial point of
view.
Two more great plants like that
at Canon City have been announced
through the columns of The News as
soon to be constructed. One is in
Platte canon, twenty-three miles from
Denver, at a cost of $1,000, 900.
The intention is to place dam in a
narrow portion of the canon and
store the water for power, but with
out in any manner interfering with
existing irrigation rights. The cleo
tricity generated will be transmitted
to Denver and sold to concerns al
ready using such power In brief,
the Platte canon company will become
wholesalers of electricity, being able
to generate it cheaper than can city
lighting plants or street car lines
Work viii begin in the fall months,
but three years will be required to
complete the enterprise.
in Hinsdale county, near Lake
City, the waters of Lake San Chris
tobal are to be raised by dam and
sufficient power acquired for another
large electric power plant, the cleo
tricity to be used in a mill tc be con-
structed by the company and also
sold to the surrounding mines On
account of the expense of transpor-
tation from the mines to the railroad,
and by the railroads to the smelters,

called, but really worth up to 40 per

has been ascertained that any of these
ores running above Sc a ton can be
worked with profit in mill run by
as cheap power as this San Christobal
electric plant will furnish Hence
the important bearing which
this enterprise viii have on the min
ing industry of Hinsdale county.
with one great electric power
plant in successful operation, and two
others already projected, the relation
which electricity is assuming to the
mining industry, as well as to other
enterprises and Industries which re-
quire cheap power, is evident at a
glance. 1t need hardly be stated in
addition that these are only be-
ginning
