Rsius3d 10 Reconsider.

This action has been contemplated
for some time, and the sntre matter
had been placed before Gen. Roe, who
refused u reconsider his plans. Com
mander- r-in- Chief Shaw insisted that
the q. A. X. organization should have
the head of the line Of march and
should be under command of its own
officers. He pointed out that Gen How
ard. who had been designated to COM
mand the forces. had no authority to
call out the posts
The officials OF the G.. A. II. consulted
with Mayor Van Wyck recently. and
he expressed approval of the change
they demanded. They referred the
matter also 10 Coy. Roosevelt and they
received a telegram from the governor
stating that he favored the change.
Chief among the reasons given by
Gen. Roe in his final refusal TO alter
the position assigned the Grand Army
was that the parade would be i'm every
sense a military one. and that being
such. according To regulations. such an
unarmed' body Of men as the G.. A. II.
could not. march before body of men
bearing arms.
The G.. A. r.. officials, however. claim
that the parade is in no sense a mill

COLORADO TOWNS IN DISTRESS
SHUT OFF BY SNOW FROM OUT

Leadville SHELTERS May Be Forced to
Close Down-Unusual Number of
Snowslides.

Denver, Colo, Feb. 1.-The snow
storm that has ragged with brief inter
missions for more than week in Col
orado was renewed today with energy
undated The snowfall during the
later hours of the night and nearly all
day was very heavy. while strong
winds piled it up and field railroad
cuts, almost completely blocking rail-
road traffice in the mountain district.
SnoWslides have occurred at several
points, one eighteen miles west of
Leadville, on Mount Ebert, carrying
down a miners cabin and burying Will
liam Manning, aged 60 years. Many
mountain towns are cut off from the
world, the only means of communica-
ton being men on snowshoes. Food
and fuel supplies are becoming alarm
ingIy short in many places.
4 difficult and really hazardous piece
of work to remove the suspense at
Breckenridge, Como, Dillon and other
points around the first-named camp,
was successfully accomplished by the
Colorado & Southern at noon today
when citizens armed with shovelS clear
ed off the South Park tracks TO the
depot in Breckenridge. and much
battered supply train crawled into the
town-the first inside for three weeks.
The situation at Breckenridge was
becoming critical. Food was becoming
scorce; the groceries kept in the stores
were at low ebb. Rolled oats and break
fast foods were being fed to horses and
stock. Yesterday hay could not be pur-
chased for love or money. Oats were
worth their weight in gold. Miners,
