slosson Wins a close Contest.

+ NEW YORK, Oct. 3l.-The second
nights play in the professional cushion
icarom billiard match was close
struggle, and the small crowd that
braved the rain to see the experts were
well repaid for their trouble. Schaef-
fer out-played slossor by just ten
points, but Slosson maintained his lead
to the end. The final score at the end
of the evening stood 600 to 495 in Slos-
sons favor. The fina! block of 300
points will be played tomorrow even.
Ing. The match and $1,000 stakes will
go to the player whose total reaches
900 first. Schaefier's splendid brace at
one ,poln. gives his admirers ground for
hoping that he may yet win out.

both men were In the best OF condi-
ton. McFadden departed from his
usual tactics OF locking until his oppo-
nent had worn himself out with his own
exertions and then go In for knock
out. He was aggressive from the start
and acted as IL confident Of scoring q
Knockout in short order, but Cans was
too clever by far for him and had him
figured from the start. Time after
time he STAYED off Macs rushes with
straight lefts and swung repeatedly
with his right to the jaw, but McFad-
den seemed to be made Of iron and re-
fused to be put out Macs best work

HAMMOND WILL TAKE CHARGE
OF STRATTON'S INDEPENDENCE

when he found that the mine was not
equal TO his expectations.
Il want TO deny emphatically that
the drop in the shares of Stratton's
Independence is due in any way to
a stock jobbing scheme The report
that has been brought about by the
Wernher. Belt 4 Co people is utterly
false. The Wernher company is TOO
big to go into any such scheme. l..
owns mines In South Africa which pro-
duce more gold than all the Colorado
mines, and is not n concern which FOR
the sake of gaining a million or two
dollars would cheat a large number OF
people of their property. When Wern-
her, Belt 4 Co. engage in American
mining enterprises ii will be in another
way than by stock jobbing. The whole
truth of the drop in the price of the
stock is that the mine has proved to
be unable to keep up the pace set for
it.
"The future of Colorado mining en-
terprises in England is in a great meas
ure dependent upon the outcome OF the
sale of STATIONS Independence. 1t is
the one big Cripple Greek venture that
has been made in London and should 1t
fail it will be n long time before others
can be placed there with any success.
MY wish is to take the property and
make 1t a paying investment for the
English stockholders. They have put
in their money In good faith and are en-
titled to every opportunity. The pres
ent high rate of dividends cannot be
continued. The mine must be continued
on n business principle with develop
ments In advance of production. l am
not prepared to say that this can be
done, but an examination of the mine
will prove whether 1t can.
II should like to see it made to pay
the English investors good return on
their money. If this is done. there
will be further investments made here,
and we certainly need English capital
to develop the mines of the state. l
have personal interest in the success
of this mine for the reason that it
means so much to future ventures. We
need the English capital and are seek
ing 1t more than 1t seeks us. If we get
it firmly established here, Colorado will
be the field Of investment rather than
Africa or elsewhere. and my interests
are in the development of Colorado"

the work of Manager Shipman Of the
mine saying that he would probably

been made to bring the terminus at the

miles from the legation buildings.
The edict infiicting punishment on
guilty officials is milder than the first
reports suggested. Prince Tuan and
Prince Chwang are only banished, and
not imprisoned. Duke Ian is merely
dismissed. The foreign envoys cannot

WILL ABSORB ERIE
AND WABASH

London, Nov. 19.--(New York Herald
Special.)-Plans are maturing for the
absorption OF the Erie and Wabash sys-
tens by the New York Central The
Erie is the last great trunk line east
OF the Mississippi to come into the
Vanderbilt fold.
William X. Vanderbilt has been qui-
city buying Erie stock in the open mar
ket and has also been gathering up
Pennsylvania shares. Whether the New
York Central is to acquire the Erie by
purchase or by lease is not yet known.
One of these two methods will be
adopted.
For long time the acquisition Of the
Wabash has been under consideration
by the Nanderbilts. The chief obstacle
has been the disinclination of the Van.
derbilts to take over lines west Of the
Mississippi, but negotiations are now
pending for turning over the Wabash
lines between the Mississippi and Kan
sas City to the Santa Fe system.
The Santa Fe now has line out Of
Chicago to Kansas City, but not to St.
Louis. 1t lost st. Louis when the st.
Louis 4 San Francisco railway was
taken out of the Santa Fe system.
BY acquiring the Wabash line west Of
the Mississippi the Santa Fe will again
have st. Louis on its map.

&. 4. X. ENCAMPMENT
RATE STILL OPEN

Denver. Colo. Nov. 19.-lt is denied
by railroad officials in Denver that the
Western Passenger Association has
acted adversely on the request for
cent mile rate for the q. A. Il. Ma
tIonal Encampment at Denver.
In connection with this statement
was the report that George II. Hear
ford, formerly passenger agent OF the
Chicago. Milwaukee X st. Paul road
had heen actively opposed to the low
rate. Not willing to be misrepresented,
Mr.. Heafford has written the follow
ing letter for publications:
Chicago, Nov. Is. 19o0.-My atten-
ton has been called to items recently
published to the effect that while
was general passenger agent OF the
Chicago. Milwaukee * ST. Paul rail-
way ! worked against the efforts OF
Denver to secure one cent per mile
railway excursion rate for the Grand
Amy of the Republic in 1901. The
genial liar who made this statement to
the newspaper reporters undoubtedly
belongs to some road competitive with
the Milwaukee, and his memory Is
bad. For | had severed my connection

or the selection of a place for the next
grand encampment.
Although | am now out Of railway
service tand must pay fare when
travel, it is my understanding that all
roads leading to Denver are members
of one or more hide bound passenger
associations, and to those associations
must be submitted the question OF ex-
cursion fares and arrangements before
any road can take action.
Il have no authority to speak for the
present general passenger agent Of the
c., NJ. x st. 7. railway, but l believe
he thinks-as / do-that the railroads
OF this country can and should give the
old soldiers reasonably low excursion
rates, whether the encampments be
held in Denver. Cleveland or Oshkosh.
Being an old soldier myself | am in
favor of a railroad fare of one cent a

Bankruptcy proceedings are often
prolific in enmities. They are not, as
a rule, particularly conducive to friend
ship between creditor and debtor, even
II the relations between the persons
interested have been amicable. Some
bankruptcies are fraudulent, no doubt
yet in many cases genuine misfortune
is the cause, and the insolvency in
wolves no dishonor. The Philadelphia
Record describes a scene at the filing
Of petition in bankruptcy. One OF
the creditors was the debtor when the
papers were filed. Both were Quakers.
There goes thy money, brother" said
the debtor. Yes responded the
creditor, but l know that thee would

PREPARING BILLS TO
BENEFIT COLORADO

Washington. d. c., Nov. 2O.-Repre-
sentative Shafroth is in Washington
making preparations with view to
drafting bill to be introduced upon
the convening of Congress. which will
provide for the irrigation and reclama-
ton of the arid lands in all arid land
states. He has not yet determined on
the particular features of his bill, for
he realizes the many intricacies of the
irrigation question and the liability Of
arousing opposition to bills which are
not universally just in their provisions.
In fact, to Obliterate some of the OBJ
jections, Mr.. Shafroth will probably In
troduce a separate bill which will make
an appropriation to cover the expense
of an examination of different reser-
voir sites in Colorado and other states,
with view to determining the most
available site in each state. This out
of the way. he will probably frame his
irrigation bill with d view to having
an equal sum for reservoirs appropri-
ated for each arid land state, and II
possible have the lump sum turned
over to the respective states. Such a
bill as this will have the support Of the
solid delegations from all the arid land
states.
Another bill which Mr. Shafroth will
strongly urge at the coming session is
the bill already passed by the Senate,
providing for the establishment of u
soldiers home at Denver. This bill is
now on the House calendar and II any
soldiers home bills are taken up, Mr..
Shafroth has the promise of the first
Recommendation.
A third measure Ia that making an
additional appropriation OF $4,000 for
the Leadville public building. Public
building bills are generally passed at
the short session, those increasing pre-
vious small and insufficient appropria-
tions generally having the preference.
1t Is probable that the Leadville bill
will pass both houses at the coming ses-
sion.

SUPREME COURT ON
STATE INDEBTEDNESS

Denver. Colo, Nov. 20.-By decfs-
ion of the Supreme Court yesterday
the question of the validity of the war
rants issued by the state in 1883 must
be settled by the Legislature and not
by the state treasurer. Under existing
circumstances. the court finds, the out
standing warrants, amounting to about
S5OO,OOO, must await this decision of
the Legislature, the legal as well as the
Illegal in the meantime sharing the
same fate There is now, 1t is said.
about $4,000 in the treasury credited
to the year 1889. but none of this can
be paid out until the question of valid
ity Is settled, when the warrants de-
clared legal must be paid In regular
order.
The decision is made in the case of
the American Savings bank against the
former state treasurer. and the court.
in it's opinion. says the decision will
have force with some thirteen other
cases along the same line. The de-
cision is a reversal of the lower court,
which decided that the treasurer must
pay the warrants. Chief Justice Camp
bell says in his opinion:
THAT this warrant is valid debt of
the state is unquestioned: that 1t should
be paid is clear; that it has not been
paid long ago is IA reflection on the
financial integrity of the state or its
dilatoriness in paying its debts. 1t may
| be that many outstanding state war
rants issued in 1889 are illegal. be-
| cause in excess of the constitutional
limit, but it would seem that some le-
gal ones are unpaid. An adequate
method of ascertaIning which are legal
and which void should be adopted by
our general assembly. If none such now
exists, and II there is money In the
treasury from the revenues Of 1885
properly applicable to the payment OF
the valid warrants, or some Of them
issued during that fiscal period, they
should be taken up and interest there.

to demand that the treasurer at his
peril make this ascertainment for him
