which has nothing back of it and is

the country. In the present in-

these savings and the whole coun>

Every stock that has had legiti>

cessful Disputants in Inter.
COIle9iate Debate.

Wherever Grand Junction students go
they always stand in the van in their
classes and in the distribu ion OF honors.
In the fourth annual inter collegiate
debate between three students Of Colo

the University Of Nebraska, the students
OF Colorado college were the successful
disputants.
This would not be go much a matter OF
local interest, were it pot for the fact
that G. William Weiser, OF this city, a
nephew OF w. j. Meyer, senior partner
in the firm OF w. J. Moyer & Co., propri-
etors Of the Fair, was one OF the success
full debaters for the honor Of the state
and incidentally for the college which he
represented.
The subject Of the debate was: Re
solved, That the United States Should
Own, Operate and Fortify the Nicara-
guam Canal" Colorado college took the
negative side.
The Colorado Springs Gazette has the
following on Mr.. Weiser's effort:
"Mr. Weiser laid stress upon
the lack Of water in the isthmian
lake. He said that the only
commission that had ever inves-
tigatsd this question had decid-
ed that watef was lacking. He
then compared the Panama
route with that OF Nicaragua,
drawing his conclusions against
the latter. Panama, he said
was shorter, cheaper and m1re
feasible. He went into details,

Atlanta Special Turns Broadside on
TrestIe.

Hamlet. N. c., June 17.-Last night
about 10 o'clock the northbound seaboard
Air Line Atlanta special turned broadside
off a trestle into pond, about a mile
north of Rockingham.
There were on board about twenty-five
or thirty passengers, all of whom were
more or less injured several very serious
ly, and two a white man and a negro,
probably fatally. There were three ladies
and some children aboard, none of whom
were seriously hurt.
The engine and two mail cars passed
over in safety, but the combination bag
gage and second, first class and two Pull
mans turned over. On account of the
rains the piers Of the trestle gave way
on the left side. At the first
crash all lights went out and water
rushed in waist deep through the win
dows Baggagemaster Smith, though Sc
riously hurt himself, at once thought Of
the freight following close behind. He
crawled out and selling a lantern went
down the track and tagged the freight.
thereby preventing q second catastrophe.
When the freight stopped he was lying
on the ground unable to raise but still
waving his lantern. He fell time and
again before he succeeded in getting far
enough back to flag the train. He had to
be carried back on a stretcher.
The newsboy also did heroic work,
crawling through the cars helping the
almost drowned passengers to escape
through the transom over a door.

doctors. and another from Rockingham.

Deputy Health Officer LHommedieu, on
learning of the mans Illness. went on
board the Tallahassee at her pier and
saw Capt. AslSins. who stated that Stan
ton did not report being sick during the
voyage. Evidently the man had been
suffering from the disease before board

placed under observation and none OF her
crew were allowed to go ashore. She will

TannIe-Minister LoOmis Loses in
salary $1,000 Per Year by the
Change, Though His Ministerial
Rank Remains the same.
Washington. June 1.-THE following
changes in diplomatic posts were anounc-
ed to-day:
Francis B. Loomis. minister to Vene-
zuela. transferred to be minister 40 Port
agal, vice John N. Irwin of Iowa, re-
signed.
Herbert w. Bowen of New York, pres
ent minister of Persia. transferred to
Caracas, succeeding Mr.. Looms as min
lister to Venezuela.
Lloyd C. Griscom of Pennsylvania, pres
ent first secretary of legation at Constan-
tinople, has been made minister to Persia.
Spencer f. Eddy of Illinois, present
second secretary at Paris has been made
first secretary at Constantinope, to sue
ceed Mr.. Griscom.
Arthur Bailly Blanchard of Louisiana,
has been promoted from third to second
secretary at Paris.
BY his transfer from Venezuela TO
Portugal Minister Looms, who Is now
on leave in England. loses $500 a year.
The salary al Lisbon is $500. and that
at Caracas $4,000 per annum. But Mr..
Loomis finds sufficient compensation in
the climate change and in the probability
of more congenial duty at his new post.
Beside. his actual rank is the same in
either case namely minister extraordi-
nary and envoy plenipotentiary.
Mr.. Bowen, who becomes the new min
lister to Venezuela. has a most creditable
record in the consular and diplomats
service. He became United States consul
at Barcelona in 1890 and his office al
that post was raised to the rank of con-
sulate general five years afterward. Mr..
Bowen stuck to his post through the ex-
citing days preceding the Spanish-Ameri-
can war as long as any American could
have found safety on Spanish soil AT
the conclusion of the war he was about
to return 40 his old post, but instead was
appointed minister resident and consul
general to Persia.
The change so far as ii concerns the
Venezuelan minister is said at the State
Department to have no particular political
significance. Mr.. Loomis goes elsewher,
than Caracas at his own request and de
nre. 1t is true that the Venezuelan gov.
ernnlent has expressed Dissatisfaction
with Mr.. Loomis in more ways than one
but the fact that the minister Is not re-
moved from the diplomatic service. but
is given another post of equal dignity and
honor is the mark of esteem of the State
Department. Also, it may be noted Mr.
Bowen, the new minister, goes TO his
post with instructions on the same line
as those supplied to Mr.. Loomis. which
formed the basis for his action, so that
Mr.. Bowen. who is a man of great viecr
is likely to follow Mr.. LOOMS footsteps

been received at the State Department
from Special Commissioner Rockhill
fully confirming the Associated Press re-

early and complete agreement on the IN
demnity question is expected, and that,
too on the basis of the proposition va
riously known as the American, the Brit
ish and the British-American. The Off
cials here are hopeful that the present
week will witness the close of the nego-
tiatons on the subject of indemnity.
though II is possible that a further slight
delay may occur through a yielding to
the desire of one of the ministers to be
allowed another opportunity TO consult
with his home government.
Once the subject of indemnity is out of
the way, the withdrawal of the foreign
troops from China will progress with ra-
pdity. But there are still several other
matters of the first order of Importance

and one that is expected to give the
most trouble is that of the arrangement
of new trade treaties between the Pow
ers and China
