COLORADO HUMANE
SOCIETY MEETS

The first state convention of the
agents of the Colorado Humane So
ciety was held in Denver October 3D..
Resolutions were adopted requiring
agents to use their best efforts to pre-
vent the repeal of the law against
child insurance at the incoming SEES
sion of the Legislature; scoring the
medical profession for its refusal to
abate the abuses of vivisection and
urging upon Congress the passage of
the bills now pending for such pur-
pose. Resolutions were also adopted
urging Congress not to pass the bill
amending the present statute requiring
live stock in shipment to be stopped
for food, water and rest at least once
in twenty-eight hours so rs to make
the time limit forty hours, and declar-
ing the conditions of cattle raising on
the plains to be cruel and inhuman 10
the last degree in respect to starvation
and exposure. A resolution was pass
ed declaring it to be the duty of agents
to Interfere with sport exhibitions In
which Unnecessary suffering was inflict
ed on animals. The convention was
highly successful. Representatives
were present from twenty-one u
ties, comprising hve-siXths of the popu-
latiOn of the state.
The results of its work will be sub
jects of discussion at the meeting of
the American Humane Asso, iGtion, IL
national federation OF similar socle-
ties, which meets in Pittsburg October
9th TO 18th.
The Colorado society has grown rap
idly in the past year or two IL now
has over 300 agents scattered through
out the state. Partly through its eff
forts state societies have been organic
ed in the past few weeks in Wyoming
and Utah; and a territorial society in
New Mexico.

Washington, Oct. 5.-The report of
the commissioner of h general lanu
office. made public to-day, shows a
large Increase in the current work OF
the office for the past year, due, the
commissioner says, to the general sum
illus given to all the industries of the
country for n year past. .
The total cash receipts of the lam

acres, an increase of 4,Ooo,oUo acres
over the previous year. The homestead
entries for the year aggregated S,4oS,-
400 acres. an increase of 2,3OO,S22 acres
over the previous year. There has been
also n large increase for the year in the
number of final homestead entries
made.
There has been n decrease in the
number of mineral land entries made
during the year, but this is to he ac-
counted for largely by the number OF
suspensions, notably in Colorado and
Montana. under late rulings made by
the secretary Of the interior.
Important work has been accom-
plished in the forestry division. Two

MORE AID NEEDED
AT GALVESTON

Galveston. Oct. Miss Clara Bar
ton, president of the National Red
Cross society. to-day issued a statement
to the manufacturers and usine
men of the country, in which she APP
pcals to them for aid in the way of ma
terial to be used in the building of
homes for those whu lost their all in
the recent storm. 1t is addressed:
ITO the manufacturers and dealers in
lumber, hardware. builders materials
and household goods. and TO business
men in general of the United States,
and says:
I'VE believe it is reliably stated that
there is not one house in the area of
the storm unchanged by it.. \ large
proportion of these persons formerly
occupying them are entirely without
homes or even shelter. save such per-
sons as nearly as destitute as them
selves can offer them temporarily, to
their great Inconvenience and cost.
THE number of this homeless class
Is estimated Mt 5000 or more. Winter
Is less than two months away. AL
though Il mild climate still snow and
ice are known here. If tents would
protect, which they viii not. the sea
San n the quiCkSand would not hold
them down; the first porther would
leave their occupants MS unsheltorcd as
before; and hardships, colds, pneu-
mOnia and consumption would find
what the storm has left.
Some substantial shelter must be
had at once for these people.
The havoc wrought by the storm in
Galveston nj once was much larger in
loss of life and property than ut Johns
town, but the donations in myncy so
far have aggregated one-third less for
botn the city and mainland than was
given at Johnstown.
while the bountiful %outpOuring of
the peoples generosity has enabled the
general relief committee and the Red
Cross to feed the hungry. clothe the
naked. and render the streets of Gal,
weston partially passable. nothing has
as yet been done toward relnstating the
impoverished survivors, in houses where
they caa escape disease and enjoy the
slight measure of the comforts of
which TIE storm deprived them.
1T is for the purpose of awakening
the sympathies of the American pco-
pie and further appealing to their
bountiful instincts to rescue these suf-
fcrers from the hardshipS still con
fronting them, that the foregoing state
ments have been put forth"

spOndent of the Times at the Russian
capital, that the Chinese fleet in For

opinion that the object of the recent
edicts regarding the degradation of
Chinese personages of high rank is
merely to gain time and to enable
China to be in Il better position to defy
the powers, as the new capital will be
virtually inaccessible from the coast.
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Morning Post, discussing this aspect of
the case, remarks:
"The German troops have no means
of transport, and any attempt to follow
the Chinese court would be therefore
quite futile
He says that the Chinese firmly be
lieve in the existence of II IiussO-Ger-
nan agreement under which Russia
will take all the territory north of the
Great wall and Germany the provinces
of Chi Ii and Shan TunE.

EMPEROR OF CHINA
DEGRADES FOUR PRINCES.

Chao Shu Chino. both bloodthirsty con-
spirators, are TO punished as censorate
and board of civil offices direct.
The edict ends with the expression
of the hope that such punishment,
brought on themselves by the minis
tiers who betrayed their trust, may be
accepted by the country as proper
punishment.
This edict, inspired by the Empress
Dowager is in the right direction. and
shows that the bitterness of her pres
ent lot in exile has led to a repentance
which Christian bloodshed and suffer
ing never reused.
But these sentences are wholly mad
equate and the governor of Shansi and
General Tung Fun Slang. the most fe-
rOcious and relentless of the monsters
among our foes, and who are now with
the Empress Dowager, are entirely ig-
nored.

The craze for Kruger coins and
stamps has been SO pronounced that a
complete set is not nov to be had in
the regular market. a SIPS piece is
rated at Sl2.5O, and what is known as
an extraordinary" crown at $50. This
is because in 1892 the die makers gave
the .bullock-wagon shafts, instead of a
pole Tor d~isselboom.) All coins from
h~alf-sovereigns downward were so
struck, and got into circulation before
the error was discovered. Any one of
these coins fetches more than So.

P Frye started for Washington today

hoped to see the shipping bill enacted

He said that he had no doubt that the

When asked about the chairman Of the

by the death of Senator Davis, Senator
Frye said:
"It is true that the Craftsmanship Of

clared that if strenuous measures were
