WESTERN CONGRESS-
AT CRIPPLE CREEK

Arrangements for the July meeting
of the Transmississippi Commercial
Congress in July in Cripple Creek are
now well under way. The railroad as
sociations have met, and the low rate
into the Cripple Creek district is such
that IA large influx of people is anticl-
pated. This low rate covers twenty
three states and territories, and the
railroads. in advertising this rate, viii
excite interest and thousands of peo-
pie will take advantage of the oppOr-
tunity to spend few days of the heat
ed term in the mountains and Incl
dentally attend the Congress and in
spect the wonders of the worlds great
est gold camp.
The officers of the general executive
committee at New Orleans, Great
Bend, Kansas, and in Cripple Creek,
are actively at work perfecting details
for the congress.
These embrace the preliminary work
for the congress which, according to
report, will be the largest in the his
tory of the organization. This work,
which has been going on for the past
ten days, is independent of the work
of the local executive committee in
Cripple Creek.
AS is already generally known, the
Cripple Creek meeting will be the
twelfth annual session of the congress.
The congress was created twelve
years ago by the eXigencies of the sit
uation throughout the western coun-
try, and the necessity Of securing prop
er legislation from the National Con-
gress that would meet the growing
necessities of this great western em-
pire. A port at tidewater. the re-
clamation of the undeveloped area, the
peopling Of the public domain, the
regulation of rates OF transportation,
the uplifting of the mining, agricul-
tural and stock interests, and the fos-

of the public questions which were at
tracting public attention in this rapid

CHINESE EMPRESS

Washington, April 27.-The follow
ing cablegram has been received at
the State Department from Mr.. Squier,
the United States charge at Pekin.
THE Empress Dowager has appoint
ed board OF national administration
to relieve her of her public functions.
They embrace three members of the
Cabinet now with the Empress at Sian
Flu, and Prince Ching, Viceroy Ii and
Prince Kung, who are now in Pekin."
This news is regarded rs of import
ance. indicating as it does the re-
linquishment by the Empress Dowager
of the arbitrary powers she heretofore
has exercised
The three members of the cabinet
now at Sian Flu include the notorious
Jung Lu, who was one of the most
active in the outbreak against the
foreigners last summer. One of the
other members of this council seventy
years old and is said to be greatly
debilltated. The third member has
been Mt least lukewarm toward foreign
interests. The choice of these three
is looked upon as likely to complicate
the good which Ii Hung Chang and
the others may accomplish.

Prof. Gustave Bischof of the Glas-
gov university has invented new
process for the manufacture of white
lead. His plan is the conversion OF
metallic lead into litharge. by means
of water gas at temperature of 300
degrees centigrade, to suboxide. SUM-
cient water is then added to moisten
this suboxide, which Is converted into
hydrate. This substance is then inserted
into gas-tight apparatus. and by
means of carbonic and diluted acetic
acid manufactured into white lead.
Under the old process white lead oc-
cupled from two to three months In
its manufacture, but Prof. Bischof Is
enabled to make a purer article within
less than forty-eight hours at much
cheaper price and with perfect safety
to the employees.

LACOMBE ELECTRIC
LIGHT CONTRACT VOID

Denver, Colo. April 30.-Judge Palm
er yesterday rendered his opinion In
the suit brought by Perry l.. Hubbard
against the city of Denver and the
Lacombc Electric Lighting Company
to restrain the defendants from enter
ing into n ten years contract to sup
ply the city with loco are lights for
500 Il year light. The plaintiffs con-
tended that under the charter the city
could not enter into contract for
which no appropriation had been pass
ed to cover all the Indebtedness implied
I'm the contract.
The effect of the decision Is to make
imperative the contract between the
city and the Lacombc company until
the suit is finally determined In the
Court of Appeals. The decision does
not involve the validity Of the fran
chise granted the new company, but
only the contract between the city and
the company. The Lacombe company
IL still empowered to operate its COM
mercial plant ana furnish light to prl-
yate consumers.

COLORADO ODD FELLOWS MEET

sand Odd Fellows were in Denver yes
terday to celebrate Founders Day. The
Colorado sun smiled down in the most
benign manner on oil the glitter and
pomp of the ceremonial, never allow
ing a cloud to dim the festivities from
beginning to end. The parade, which
began early in the afternoon, was wit
messed by thousands of interested spec
tators, and the music and brilliant un1
forms of the hundreds of Odd Fellows
in line made picture that will remain
as one of the events of the order in the
state.

men in smart and handsome gowns.
The welcome to the grand sire by Past

We're listened to for almost two hours
by the vast audience with closest at
tention.
The comforting of the decoration of
chivalry upon Colonel Boomer of Gree
ley was the closing function of the af-
ternoon, and n most impressive affair.
In the evening the banquet in honor of
Grand Sire Gable was given at the
Windsor and was one of the most bril-
liant occasions that the banqueting
hall has seen. The young people kept
the ball rolling longest, as they danced
in Elks' hall until late hour.
The guests left this morning for a
round of pleasure to-day in Colorado
Springs, which winds up with a din

mosquitoes from introducing germs Of
disease into the huge reservoirs which
have been cut out of the side of the

President Hadley of Yale made a
striking classification of society in a
recent address on the development OF
a public conscience. Humanity, he
said. is made up of two classes. Indi-
viduals of the one participate in the
business of life for what they can get
out of it, of the other for what they
can put into it. 1t is not, however, a
paradox that those who put most into
life are also, in the largest and best
sense, those who get most out OF it.

and territories within the Transmits
sissippi region. The organization met
with such decided success that at
once 1t became apparent that its infiu-
ence must be strengthened and perpet-
uated. From the high character Of
the men participating in its delibera-
tons the Congress at Washington be-
came at once a potential factor in the
development of the country west Of
the Mississippi river. Its recon-
mendations for the past eleven years
have been received by the National
Congress with the greatest considera-
ton. Subjects recommended are TAX
en- up and incorporated into laws with
less friction than heretofore. The Ma
tional Congress receives these recon-
mendations as emanating from u rep
resentative body of men who have an
intimate knowledge of the subjects
upon which they treat and consequent
ly affirmative action is the more quick
ly obtained, thus inuring to the great
benefit of the western country.
At the Cripple Creek meeting there
are quite n number of important mat
ters to be considered. Whilst the ex-
ecutive committee has not as yet form
ulated the program, it is understood
that uncompleted questions considered
in former congresses so far as nation
al legislation is concerned, are to be
uppermost. These will be taken up and
further discussed at the July meeting.
There Is proposition of great import
ance to the mining industry, the crea-
ton of national bureau of mining
, with the executive offices to hold IL seat
in the Cabinet upon lines adopted for
the industry of agriculture. This Is Il
matter more directly affecting the min
ing states, and will attract deep inter-
est among the delegations from those
sections. For the agricultural and
stock interests there is the question
of storage reservoirs and national
| system of irrigation. The proposition
| of merging the National Irrigation
convention, in session Mt Colorado
| Springs, and the International Mining
Congress mt Boise City into the Trans
Mississippi Commercial Congress will
also come up for discussion. There are
