DENVER'S CARNIVAL.
GREAT THINGS ARE PROMISED.


Denver, Colo, Sept. S.-The deter
mnation of the board of directors OF
the Festival of Mountain and Plain
to make the fourth annual celebration
on October Ith, 9th and 9th the great
est event of the kind ever held In the
West has resulted in the adoption Of
a program for the three days which
will make 1t equal, II not surpass, Tie
famous carnivals of the Mardi Gras
and Yelled Prophets. The undertake
ing is stupendous, but with the finan-
cial assistance of the citizens Of Den
yer, who have subscribed in the neigh
borhood of $4,000, the work is made
possible.
Every feature of the festival will be
new and entirely different from pre-
ceding years. The eXertions of the va
rious committees to successfully carry
out this program will not be allowed
to lag, and every means Will be em-
ployed to entertain the city's guests on
this occasion. The program briefly Is
as follows:
October 9th. Grand Allegorical Pa
geant, covering the history of the
country from its discovery to the pres
ent time: in the evening the finest dis
play Of fireworks ever given In the
West will be witnessed at City Park.
October 9th. Peace Jubilee, celebrat-
Ing the closing of the war with Spain.
Several dignitnrics who have taken n
prominent part in the war, as well rs
some of Colorado's heroes, will be the
guests of the city on this day. At
night the famous parade of the Silver
Scrpents will take place. to be followed
by their ball ut the Broadway theatcr.
The masked parade and carnival of
Queen Thalia on the second day and
the open air bal masquc that evening.
In which G,OOO people can participate
ut one time. are simply beyond an ac-
curatc description. During that after
noon and night the city Will be In the
hands of the merry-makers, who will
be unrcstrained In their amusement.
though care will he taken by the court
officials that no rudeness be permitted
In the frivolity. The Carnival of Nice
and at the New Orleans Mnrdi Gras
are the only ones that can In amy way
be compared with this feature of the
celebration.
1t Is expected that fully 100000 Wis.,
itors will be in the city during the
festival. many of them coming from
the East and neighboring states, and
to give these visitors favorable i'm
preston OF our state through cordial
and magnificent entertainment should
be the purpose of every citizen.
The first days sale Of seats for the
Festival of Mountain and Plain sur
passed expectations. ~
When Trnfiic Manager Bourke opened
the doors ut O'Clock fiftypersons were
waiting to get In. and by D o'clock the
line ran around the long room In three
circles md into the alley. while over
200 stood on Arapahoe street seeking
admission. During the first three
hours. 1.SOO seats were sold. II the de-
mlnd continues. no spats will remn in

came fearful crash. Two spans OF
the bridge collapsed and the immense
mass Of timber and iron dropped. Then
lie saw bodies coming to the surface
and the work OF rescue began. This
was hopclcssly inadequate. there being
only few boats In the vicinity. and
very few men who would undertake to
swim out into the turbulent waters.
Many who might have been saved
We're drowned before help could reach
them. Mnngled bodies came to the sur
face for moment. and then passed
out Of sight. Even those who Were
got to land alive were In such condition
that many died on the way TO the hos
pltal. Some had their backs broken.
others both legs. while others We're

Terrible Accident to workmcn ON the 81.

Lawrenc. River.
Hogansburg. n. Y. Sept. 6.-About
noon today the two south spans OF the
international bridge of the New York
Il Ottawa railroad now under con-
struction across the st. Lawrence riv-
or. about three miles above st. Regis
Indian village. fell without warning
with sixty men ut work on the bridge,
all being thrown into the river some
sixty feet below.
Over thirty men were picked up ana
taken to Cornwall hospital. and twen-
ty-scyen are now missing.
The bridge consists of three spans. OF
which two were complete and the
third was nearly completed when the
south picr gave way at Its foundation.

man freight with It,.
The names of the killed and drowned
cannot at present be nsccrtained. ms
they were mostly from PcnnsyiVnhln'
excepting few Indians from the ST.
Regis reservation.
The immediate cause of the disaster
and the giving away of the span OF the
bridge seems to have been from the
washing away OF one of the large piers.

The Spanish gunboat Isabel Scgundn
responded with thirteen guns, where
upon the New Orleans set the Spanish
flag mt the pole and saluted 1t with
thirteen guns.
A boat Immediately put or from the
New Orleans to the Seneca and took
Admiral Sclley aboard.
During the afternoon Admiral Schley
and General Gordon came ashore and
took up their quarters nj the Hotci
Inglnterra. where they will remain
during the sessions Of the military COM
mission. They walked from the quay
to the hotel. attracting much attention.
The Spanish soldiers and sailors. who
throng the city. seemed especially cur
io,,s to see the man who destroyed Ger
vera's fleet. The only guard for the
party consisted of three policemen, Dut
even these were unnecessary. ns there
was no hostile demonstration whatever.
About 1 o'clock General Brooke ar
rived from his headquarters at Rio
Picdras, and the three commissioners
all of whom are ranked by Captain
General Macias, made call of cour-
,csy upon him.
All appears to he clear sailing for the
United States commissioners. but 1t is
reported that the Spanish commission
ers expect considerable compensation
for the Spanish property to be rclin-
uuished. Their instructions were re.
ccvcd yesterday by the steamer Ciudad
de Cadiz. One of the commissioners IL
said to have remarked to Admiral
Schlcy that he was anxious to leave Tor
Spnin. and that, IL he had his way. the
proceedings would terminate so that he
could go in II week.

Hong Kong deputation representing

Ing of the best and richest natives Of
Panay, Mindoro. Ccbu and Mindanoa,
visited United States Consul Williams
yesterday evening and urged that cv-
cry possible effort be made for the an
nexation of the whole Of the Philippine
Islands.
The dcputntion declared that all
classes. the warlike mountaineers, as
well us those engaged In mercantile
pursuits, would welcome the stars and
stripes, and had resolved never to sub.
nit to Spanish or Tagal rule. They
also saiA there were 1000 men, many
Of them armed with rifles, near 1loilo,
ready to support the Americans. They
refused to join in the clnmor for indie
pendencc. which they consider mis-
take and imprncticnble. They only
wish for annexation to the United
States.
The delegations propose to interview

leader will probably render himself

.

Ex- Senator John j. Ingalls,, of Kansas,
whose fame as il brilliant writer, man
of remarkable scholarship and literary
attalnments, is even greater than that
OF the distinguished senator, annouDc ces
a new book on the subject of the
American spanish Cuban War. 1t is
entitled Americas War for Humanity
in Picture and Story" 1t is published
by the n. D. Thompson Publishing Co..
of St, Louis, Mo-. and is an exhaustive
discussion Of tho causes of the war, and
an equally exhaustive history of it's in
cidents, and a brilliant analysis of the
famous characters conducting it. 1t
promises t" be the one great and popu-
lar work called fourth by this wonder
fully interesting national episode.
Whatever Senator Ingalls, touches he
adorns; and this book shines and spark
les in the light of his genius. The pres
ent work is worthy of his genius, and
will be a monument to his fame. The
subject now SO engrosses the popular
mind as to forecast for the book a sale
that will be universal. 1t will be- sold
by subscription only, and the canvassing
samples are now ready for agents.
We advertise it in aonther column.

Town VS.. Parish.

Nearly all of the land within
the Corporation of Opelousas re-
Gently patented by the general
government to the inhabitants
has been disposed of by the Po-
lice Jury at private sale, under
the belief that the ground belong
ed to the parish. This question
of course will now be investigated
and if it be found, which is prob
able, that the Police Jury had no
authority to dispose of the land,
some equitable arrangement
should be made in favor of the
occupants who have purchased
their lots in good faith. We sup
pose that titles derived from the
Police Jury more than ten years
since would be good by prescrip-
ton. In that event, however.
the Police Jury should reimburse
to the town the purchase price re-
ceived. There should be just
settlement of the matter with as
little loss as possible to the pos
essors of these lots, all of whom
have bought in good faith believ-
ing the parish to be the real own
er.
Ex-Mayor Thompson is entitled
to much credit for his services in
securing the patent from the gov
ernment. We will refer to this
matter again and perhaps be able
to throw more light on the sub
ject.
