Given a Great Ovation.

DENVER, Sept. 14.-The Colorado
volunteers were welcomed home on
their return to the state capitol today
with demonstration that atoned for a
lack of enthusiasm manifested when
che regiment departed from this city on
May II, 1898, on its long journey to the
Philippines. Bells, whistles, guns, can.
mons and horns began sounding noisy
welcome when the soldiers free train
reached the union depot at 10 o'clock
After receiving the greetings of rela-
tives, the volunteers fell in line and
were escorted by a procession to the
capitol through the streets lined with
masses of people, waving flags, shout
Ing and cheering.
The heroes of the Philippines cam
paign were crowned with wreaths of
mountain holly and their pathway
strewn with flowers by hundreds of
girls. Public and private buildings
were handsomely decorated. On the
capitol grounds were assembled thous-
ands of school children, who sang
America" in chorus. An address of
welcome was delivered by Governor
Thomas, who presented new flag to
the regiment. Colonel H. B. Mccoy
made an appropriate response Adj
dresses of welcome on the part of the
nation were delivered by United
States Senators Wolcott and Teller,
to which response was made by Brig
adler General Irving Hale. A banquet
was served for the volunteers and dur
ing the remainder of the day they en-
joyed the freedom of the town.

AeulnaIdo Was Tempted to
Acqulesce In American
Sovereignty.
WANTED ABSOLUTE FREEDOM
Nothing Short Of That Would
Suit the Tagals, Who Are !
Ambitious.

New YORK, Sept l5.-A special to
the World from Ithaca, N. Y, says:
Your correspondent is able to say on
authority that the Schurmann peace
commission offered every possible in
ducement short of absolute self govern
ment to Aguinaldo and his followers.
Aguinaldo was promised as price for
the restoration of peace in the Tagalos
tribe bonus of more than $1,000 a
year while the Tagalos remained peace
full. He was told he could choose men
from his tribe for the minor municipal
offices. The commission went so far as
to promise Aguinaldo the moral sup
port of the United States government,
If such were needed, to make his lead
ership of the Tagalos thoroughly secure.
With all these inducements, tempting
as they must have been, Aguinaldo as
the recognized head of the insurgent
movement declined to yield. lie in-
sisted upon immediate self government
and as his insistence was so firm as to
make an agreement impossible the
American commissioners ceased nego-
tiations.

The Santa Fe Wreck,

The wreck of the Santa Fe freight
train caused by running into a burn.
ing bridge mile and a half north of
Dold's packingplant, Wichita, Wednes.
day morning, occurred at 6:2OO'Clock.
The train was in charge Of Conductor
Fogarty and Engineer Becker. No
one was injured although the engine
and three cars we're badly damaged.
The train was running slowly at the
time or a serious accident would have
been the result. The bridge had
evidently been afre for some time as
the Stringers were nearly burned
through. The rain few nights ago
had soaked the timbers so that they
did not burn readily. Engineer
Becker did not notice the bridge was
afre until he was right upon it, when
he noticed few fumes of smoke
arising. 1t was too late to stop the
train and the engine passed across the
bridge. The rails on the south side
OF the bridge had been spread by the
heat aud when the front truck of the
engine struck them they gave way
altogether and the engine went upon
the ties, tearing up the track for two
rail lengths. The first car behind the
engine was heavily loaded with
cement and it dropped sQuarely
through the bridge, The car follow
ing it, ran up over it and tipped down
into the ditch. The third car was
showed into the first car and rolled
over on its side. The rest of the train
remained upon the track.
All Of the south and west bound
trains were delayed by the wreck.

More Work Of the Hide Thieves.

A gang Of hide thieves was un-
earthed In this city yesterday. The
gang has been operating in southern
Kansas for the past year or so aud has
been stealing hides by the wagonload.
From Kingman alone over sixty hides
have been stolen In the past three
months. Other robberies have been
reported from Wellington, Cheney,
Moline and other small towns in the
vicinity.
This morning Detective Jim Cairns
and Officer Aspey caused the arrest OF
Q. 6. Grady, while he was attempting
10 sell ten large hides toSouthwick on
West Douglas avenue. He drove into
town this morning and tried to sell
the hides to a firm but they refused to
Guy them, suspecting that they were
stolen, and notified the police.
About a month ago this same man
and a confederate drove into town
and sold a load Of hides TO the firm,
which furnished the information
which led to the arrest today. A few
Gays afterwards the sheriff of We'll
lington came here and identified the
hides as being some which were
stolen from his town a short time
before. Since that time the police
have been keeping watch for the
men, which ended in the capture Of
one today.
AT the time the hides were brought
here about a month ago, the men
hauled the hides to the city limits 10
wagon, which they had driven from
Wellington. The hides were dumped
into the weeds near the edge OF town
ana one OF the men came into town
and hired another team to haul them
TO the place where they were sold.
The marshal of Wellington will be
up this evening and will assist the
authorities Of this city in making a
case against the man. Grady will be
'sweated" and it is expected that
evidence will be obtained from him
which will lead to the arrest of the
remainder of the gang. The city
marshal OF Kingman telephoned this
morning that large number OF hides
had been stolen there in the last three
months and that he would try to find
out whether or not the hides captured
today belonged in that city.
The authorities here say that there
is no doubt but that Grady belongs to
the gang which has been making a
regular business of stealing hides from
country butchers. The plan is tC
drive to a small town and gain en-
trance to a slaughter house and take
out all the hides, which the butcher
has in the picking vat. They the1
drive to the next town and repeat
the operation. AS soon as they have
a wagonload they drive to this city Oh
some other large town and dispose Of
their boOty.-Wichita Beacon.
