KNIGHTS OBSERVE EASTER
Impressive Service of the Baptist
Church in rlasonic Hall

Inc services of the Baptis
church were held in Masonic hal
yesterday morning and were at.
tended by an exceedingly large
congregation. The special service
participated in by the knights
Iemplar of Canon City and
Florence, was in many respects
The brightest and most attractive
ever held here. Stirring hymns
were sung and the semi-martial
character of the scene, with the
knights Templar in full uniform
was particularly appropriate to the
public temper, which is naturally
somewhat militant at the present
time.
The waving plumes of the
knights and their cleaning swords
aroused patriotic thrill in many
a breast and it was an impressive
moment when they led the con-
gregatlon in the Apostles creed.
Most of the Episcopalians in
town attended the service and
many expressions of qualification
at its conduct and at the eloquent
sermon of the Rev. Robert d.
Graham were uttered by the visit
ors.
The Message of Easter" was
MIR. Graham's subject. He touched
upon the craving of the human
soul for knowledge of what comes
after the grave and on Christ's
bringing the first message of hope.
Ills only reference to the knights
was that in refuting the allegation
that religion is no longer thought
OF by intelligent men, he pointadJ
OF Ine community were
yesterday, like them-paying their
to God.

Faster Sunday could not have
been excelled, atmospherically. A
gentle breeze temperedthe warmth
of the sun and stirred the plumcs

bonnets, which in accordance with
tradition, were plentifully dis
played.
Abe Aldridge's horse, formerly
owned by Dr. Gillivray, ran away
yesterday while Aldridge was out
hunting and came into town at
FULL speed. 1t was some time be-
lore he was caught, but he did no
iamage except breaking one of
the shafts of the cart to which he
| was hitched.
1t is now believed that strong
attempt will be made to reappoint
Marshal Squyres tonight. A.
Mooney will be candidate. He

perience that makes him thor

hoped by mostAof the better ele-

But the President Argues Against Recoqni-
ton of Belligerency or Independence
MESSAGE DOES NOT FIND FAVOR

The message was by both houses
referred to their respective com
mittees on foreign relations.
The Senate adjourned at LIE
p. m.
The message itself contains
from 5000 to 1000 words. The
reports of the UnitedStates consuls
in Cuba which were transmitted
with the message made a bulky
package of "a written pages
and there are a number of enclose
ures. They cover period from
November II, 1897, to April L,
1898.
The fact was developed during
oesding adjournment that the
message was not looked upon with
favor. From the notices given OF
resolutions and amendments it
may be anticipated thattomorrow's
debate will be hot and furious
By the general public as in Con-
gress the message is regarded as a
mere makeshift.
1t is thought that no attention
will be paid to the request that
matters be left in the Presidents
discretion. The general opinion
is that Congress will assume the
responsibility, and at once take
decisive action.

Washington, April 11.-Nearly
every seat in the Senate and Hous,
was filed and the galleries were
crowded to discomfort when the
Presidents messenger arrived al
11:55.
Not sound was heard as the
document he bore was handed to
the reading clerk few minutes
after noon and the message was
listened to with intense interest,
The President asks Congress to
authorize him to take all measures
necessary to secure the final ter
mination of hostilities between the
government of Spain and the peo-
pie of Cuba and secure the rr.-i-,.
lishment OF q stable government
on the island capable Of maintain
ing international obligations and
assuring the security of it's citizens
as we'll as that of our own.
He asks authority to use the
military and naval forces of the
United States as may be necessary
for this purpose.
After referring to the necessity
for the distribution of supplies
and setting forth the conditions
prevalent in the island and the
assassination of Senior Canovas,
the President leaves the Cuban
question in the hands of Congress
Regarding the Maine disaster
he says that the element of dis
order existing in Cuba and to
which he has referred in strong
terms, is pointedly illustrated by
the facts of the Maine explosion
The court of inquiry, he says
had the unqualified confidence o
the government and it was TIN
unanimous verdict that the Main'
was blown up by a submarine
mine. 1t did not assume to plac'
the responsibility. However, il
any event, the President think
the destruction of the Maine b
whatever exterior cause is positiv
proof that the state of things i
Cuba is intolerable.
The conditions prevailing ar
shown. he asserts, by the fact tha
the Spanish government canne
assure safety to Americon ships i
its harbors in time of peace.
Further reference is made in th
message to recent diplomatic co
respondence and despatch fro
our minister in Spain is alluded
which contained the statemcr
that the Spanish minister for TO
eign affairs assured him positive
that Spain would do all that hon
and justice required, The Pres
dent states that later despa tch

readiness of Spain to submit

THE SHOCK THAT
DID NOT SHAKE
United on WeH No. I47 Was
Shot This Morning
1T SOLD THE SPECTATORS

, What went ye out in the Wild
erness to seeY" was the question
; that the members of a select in
vited party of oil men and states
men and other men asked each
other as they returned about |
O'Clock today from the vicinity of
| Oil Well No. LAT.
1t had been quietly announced
that No. 147 would be shot TODAY
at 10 O'Clock. Men in bugpies on
wheels and on foot went out to the
rayines some two miles southwest
OF town about that hour and perch
ed on the hill sides above the
stone quarries waiting to see oil
shot up into the air 300 feet or SO.
Some of them were late and they
perspired on arrival. They had
plenty of time to cool.
Fifty quarts of nitro-glycerine
were lowered in long ten foot cans
to the bottom of hole 1900 feet
deep. Well No. LAT has not been
Yielding as much oil as expected
and the United Oil company hud
decided to increase the flow f,hos-
charge hhge ever used in we'll in this
vicinity, although double that
quantity is sometimes used in the
East. $50
1t took long time to load the
well. The explosive was in tin
cans resembling the square oil can
of commerce. 1t was poured into
the ten foot long cylinders by Glib
bons and his assistant, man and
a boy imported from the East for
that purpose. 1t is their business
to shoot wells. Everyone else re-
treated while the pouring was in
process.
The first load stuck once or
twice but it finally went down.
Four more cans were lowered.
Soon after the noon whistle blew
Gibbons lit a fuse attached to
torpedo-like small can, called
"time" and dropped the torpedo
down the hole.
1t took thirteen seconds to strike
the top of 500 feet Of oil which was
in the well. Then there was a
wait Of nearly four minutes. Peo-
pie who had knelt OF lain down to
minimize the earthquake shock
that they anticipated, thought the
| fuse had missed fire. So did Glib
bons. He went for more fuse and
was preparing for another shot
when there was dull report like
pistol. That was all. The
earth didn't quake and not drop
of oil shot out Of the hole.
When the spectators came down
from the hillside points of vantage
and demanded their money back,
the chief showmen only laughed
!. a i'd said that the 500 feet of oil in
the hole had evidently proved too
, heavy for the explosion to force it
to the surface. They thought that
{ the rock would prove amply shat
tered 1900 feet down, however.
Two more wells will be shot be-
fore Gibbons work is done here.

NOTHING BUT RAIN
Can Stop the Progress Of Fires in
Colorado,

Denver, Sept. 3O.-The weather man
can offer no hope for those on the west
ern slope whose homes and crops are
threatened by the forest fires. There
are no indications whatever of rain, and
this seems to be the only element able
to stay the flames fury.
Throughout Eagle county high winds
have prevailed, giving a fresh impetus
to the forest fires that are devastating
the timber domain.
In consequence new territory is being
devOured. The blaze is rapidly extend
ing along the Grand reserves of Girard
mountain west Of Homestake creek and
from present appearances will sweep
the country to Bear mountain at Min
turn.
Back of Ainturn to the heads of Will
low and Two Elk, the country is devas-
tated, little remaining to feed the
flames. From HOOsier mountain the
wind has driven the fire to the edge of
Gypsum creek. The settlers of Upper
Gypsum, Cannon, Collins and others
are fighting desperately to save their
homes and stop its passage across into
the magnificent forests of West Brush.
If it gets into Brush, the finest body
of timber in the state is gone. No loss
of life has been reported but several
people have lost their homes and their
crops.
All the game is leaving the country,
escaping the smoke and heat of the
blazing woods.
Dispatches received here say that
Wheylys peak between North and Mid
die Park is now a. mass of flames and
it is greatly feared that they win ex-
tend to both of those beautiful camping
grounds The fire has already cut
swath So miles long, from the Grand
river almost to DillC a, in Summit coun-
ty. The width is yet unknown.
Kremm1ing, in Grand county, has had
a narrow escape and the danger is not
yet entirely over.
The fires in the vicinity of Ouray are
not so bad as for several days previous,
but the smouldering embers may be
famed into an awful confagration by
the slightest wind.
The fires around Aspen are working
down the mountain side toward town,
although they are not burning with the
force they have been.
bat Gunnison, Crested Butte, Wolcott
and Glenwood Springs, the fires are still
raging.
No estimate of the damage to timber
and ranches can be given but it Will
unquestionably run far into the thou
sands of dollars.
