The PRESIDENTS MEssAGE.-The
Presidents message has gone to the
printer. 1t ia understood that in the
message the President will recommen
that the Philippine Islands are to be
held by the United States az a part OF
its territory, to be governed along lines
similar to those laid down for Porto
Rico. The need OF troops to maintain
order will be discussed freely, and the
opinion expressed that, although the
time has not yet come for the creation
OF q stable form of government. still
steps 10 that direction should be taken.
Congress will be asked to pass the
Spooner bill, giving the President full
civil authority, so that an emergency
government can be provided and the
military force gradually reduced to the
limits OF q police organization. The
treatment of the Philippine question
will be extensive and will foreshadow
the ultimate adoption OF broad
colonial policy The President also
demands an open door in China and
fayors ship subsidies, reduction of war
taxation, interoceanic canal aud an In.
crease OF the regular army.

necessary to penetrate to very remote

tribes of savages, however, now in Il

Forty Mile. To Matrimony.

The Middle Park Times published at
Hot Sulphur Springs, Grand county, has
the following item in last weeks issue:
"The absence of the telephone and tel
egraph in this section of the country
renders Middle Park an ideal resort for
seekers after matrimonial bliss who find
it necessary to flee from the wrath of
irate parents. An eloping couple who
gave their home as Apex, Gilpin county,
arrived in town Tuesday and hastily Sc
curing marriage license from the
county clerk, repaired to the Office of
the county judge and asked to be made
one. After the ceremony the bride, a
pretty and demure young lady, remarked
that she guessed the old gent has been
outwitted this time, and it wouldn't do
him any good to object now The in
formation was then disclosed that the
couple had ridden fifty miles horseback
that day, coming over Rollins pass, and
that the father of the young lady, who
was much opposed to the match. was
supposed to be on the trail armed with
shotgun. The name given by the
groom was j. L. Gray and the bride was
Miss A. L. Stedman."

EXCITING SEA FIGHTS.
Hos. Mediterranean Fis,cr-,cn Band
Together to Catch Tunrics.


Together to Catch Tunrics.
One of the most thrilling and wonder
ful sights In the world is that of the
funny fisheries of the Mediterranean sea-,
says the New York Press. The pursuit
of these great and swift fish is not n
mere tame operation of netting. 1t is 4
fight between man and sea creatures
such as is duplicated nowhere except in
the whale fisheries. The funny is huge
Uackerel. He is a predaceous fish, and
his course through the seas is that of a
destroyer without parallel. So deadly is
the funny to the schools of herring and
similar food fish that he is called the
herring hog. In our waters he is known
more generally as the horse mackerel.
The funny fisheries are distinctly Eur
pean, and they are the oldest industry
that is known in the Mediterranean sea.
To capture them men must band them
selves together in large bodies, for fisher
men singly could do nothing with these
fish, which grow to length of ten feet
and weigh over half q ton sometimes.
Therefore there is system of co-opera-
tion on the coasts that are visited by the
funny, a system which dates back to the
Phpnicians, who were great funny
catchcrs in their time. The perfection
of this system is due, among other
things, to the fact that the big fish have
absolutely regular habits. In normal
times they can be relied on to make
their appearance at certain periods al
most to the minute. When they come,
it is in huge schools that can be seen
afar, for they scour the waters like ships
of war, and the leapings of their prey

The six o'clock closing apreemant

The six o'clock closing agreement
which was made some two weeks ago by
our merchants, was broken last night for
the first time. Two of the merchants
broke their word, but the remainder
closed up. Should the others stick to
their agreement, our citizens should show
the other two that by breaking their
promise they have forfeited the trade of
all laboring men who believe in honor
