Next Vice-President Has Another
Startling Experience in
Teller's State.

Meeker, Colo, Jan. 19-Colonel
R~oosevelt's chair was acant last
night when the hunters at Keystone
ranch gathered for supper. No anx-
iety was felt at first, as he had told
the others when he left the cabin for
his solitary stroll just before dusk not
to wait for him IN case he was not
back by supper time. But at 8 O'Clock
Colonel Roosevelt had not returned
and his friends became alarmed.
At 10 O'Clock they were convinced
that he was the victim of some acct
dent, and men and dogs started to
find him.
When he left the cabin Colonel
Roosevelt intended to get a few shots
at some of the numberless coyotes,
after which Coyote basin is named.
But the coyotes were wary and he did
not get a shot at them. He was final
ly surrounded by a pack of gray
wolves and was forced to climb a tree,
where he was found by his friends.
Under the tree were several dead
wolves he had killed with his re-

we'll leave the country. The officers
of the Scorpion are quoted as saying
that the diplomatic corps at Caracas
is unanimous on this point as are all
the foreigners. They admit, however,
that the United States minister at
Caracas, Mr.. Francis D. Loomis, is
working vigorously in the efforts to
arrange matters.
The more recent developments in
the trouble in Venezuela were the
seizures by the authorities at Ciunad
Bolivar, all important commercial
town of Venezuela, and the capital of
the state of Bolivar, situated on the
right bank Of the Orinoco, 81 miles by
water from the sea, Of two steamers
belonging to the Orinoco company.
This concern is an English corpora
ton, but 80 per cent of the capital is
American.

islature of boiling the republican eau
Gus which nominated Moses E. Clapp
for senator this afternoon. The eau
Gus unanimously adopted a resolution
previous to balloting making it a con-
dition that the nominee of the caucus
should pledge himself to use all honor
able means to ecure the adoption OF
an amendment to elect senators by di-

Macarthur Makes Vigorous Denial
Of Charges Against His

Washington, Jan. l9-In view Of the
debate in the senate on RIGHTEOUSNESS
in the Philippines and in order to OBJ
tain definite information in respect to
the subjects mentioned, Adjutant Cen
eral Corbin on the 10th inst. cabled
General Macarthur at Manila as fol-
lows: Telegraph condition Of army
in Manila and elsewhere in Philip
pines with reference to drunkenness
and use of intoxicating liquors. Are
houses of prostitution licensed, protect
ed, OF in any way encouraged by mill
tary authorities?
Macarthur replied as follows
"With reference to your telegram OF
10th, drunkenness in this army is nc
more noticeable here than in garri-
SONS in the United States. Consider.
ing the whole force as a unit it if
probable very much less. In Manila
drunken men are very noticeable.
The effect one drunkard in a public
place creates the impression among the
citizens of extensive disorders
throughout the whole force, which il
not the case. The army is in splendid
discipline and high state officially
and is doing the hardest kind of ser
vice in a most faithful, inspiring man
ner. Houses Of prostitution are no

MY ENEMY.

I walked toward the door OF him that I
hated
In the month Of the apple blooms.
And like thoughts of Gods love for .
loving world
Beat down the soft perfumes.
OF love the mated songsters sang
And the childlike brooklet prated-
Still I journeyed on with heart Of hate
To the door of him hated.
And the hills sent up their hymn OF praise
To skies bent low to hear:
And the world was alert to catch the
strain
OF the song Of the Weakened year;
And the heart Of the world beat fast with
joy,
With joy and love elated-
But I strobe on with heart of hate
To the door of him I hated.
And there came through the open door
A coffin borne by men,
Which they bore to q grave meath the
apple trees
At the foot OF q blossoming glen.
When they left him there mid the apple
trees
To his new-heaped mound I crept.
And the birds sang glad as they sang
before,
But fell on his grave and wept
