The point upon which N. X. Boswell,
lessee of the penitentiary, has been all
the while making his protest against
the removal of the prisoners to Raw
Inns at the present time, is that the new
prison is in no fit condition for the re-
ception, the care or the guarding of the
convicts, not to speak of the lack of
facilities for working them. This point
our good friends in Rawlins have con-
~sistently ignored. AS we have repeat
eddy stated Mr.. Boswell is ready to
O whenever the new buildings are
in the proper condition.
The Cheyenne Leader in it's yester-
days issue gives the following account
of the result of the Investigating COM
mittee's visit to Rawlins and Laramie:
The joint committee which went to
Rawlins, consisting of Senators Black
and Thomas and Representatives Din
widdle, Black and Gray, have not yet
completed their report on the p~eniten-
tiary problem, but we learn from Mr..
Peter Cooke, who accompanied the par
ty as an expert, that a very thorough
examination was made of the entire
premises, and that the conclusions
reached were in accordance with the
opinions of the state board of charities
and reform, that certain improvements
are required to make the Rawlins peni-
Tertiary safe and habitable and that an
additional appropriation would be nee
essary. The estimate of the board was
that at least $4,000 would be needed.
The committee have not figured up the
cost but with some additional improve
ments, which are deemed proper as
sanitary measures, the total cost will
reach $10,0 and possibly $12. 900.
Lessee N. X. Boswell accompanied
the committee and his suggestions as
to changes and additions, received full
consideration and concurrence, Mr..
Boswell expressing his entire satisfac-
ton with plans that were proposed.

which will prevent the passing in of
weapons or digging out from below.
Connection will be made with the sew
er, which the city agreed to have com
pleted to the grounds by June list; ten
chimneys were found in the building
by Mr.. William Daley and his little pick
ak, three of which will be extended up.

Michael Foulkes, who was yesterday
released from the p~enitentiary after
having served there nearly nine years,
speaks many good words for the man,
agement of that institution.
Il can honestly and cheerfully say
Mr.. Foulkes said, that any prisoner
over there who behaves himself will
get the best treatment possible in an
Institution of that kind. If a man is
hunting for trouble and persists in be,
ing unruly of course he is treated ac.
cOrding to his deserts. | have never
had any complaint to make. Warden
Mcdonald while he was there treated
us all well, and Warden Carr, in spite
of the reputation he has for severity,
did nothing of which a reasonable mar
in prison could complain.
"As for Mr.. Boswell he is always kind
and considerable. He visits the prison.

to administer to them if they are sick,
and gives all Of them the best possible
show. When a man is sick he is car.
ed for properly, and the result has been
very little sickness and no deaths. l
am glad to speak good words for Mr.
Boswell.

it a point to find out from men who
have seen the food in other prisons
throughout the United States, and l
can say that the food supplied in the
Wyoming ~penitentiary is better than
that of any other in the country. OF
course, it is prison fare and for that
reason lacks the variety that a man
is used to elsewhere But it is well
cooked, seasonable, and there Is always
Plenty of it. To kick against it would
be foolish and unreasonable The pen
itentiary is always clean and in good
sanitary condition.
Mr.. Foulkes is a cabinet maker and
expects to locate in Laramie. He was
sent to the state prison for murder in
the second degree, having killed a man
with a knife in the little town OF Gill
lette on the Burlington railroad. He
says the act was done in self defense,
and his story has gained such cred
ence that Governor Richards granted
him an unconditional pardon.

Ben Hendricks AGAIN.

The next attraction at the opera
house will be the Swedish comedy sue.
cess "Ole Olson" presented by Ben
Hendricks and his splendid company
Friday Feb, 1. The production this
season is entirely new and will prove
equally interesting to those who have
seen the play before as to those who
haven't. In its present constructed
form "Ole Olson" contains everything
needed to render it's presentation thor
oughly enjoyable; the story is one of
interest and is full Of dramatic and
pathetic episodes; but the comedy Ia
so tremendously blended with the ser.

The total cost of the trip to the state
is quite small and will not exceed $50,
as the citizens of Rawlins were very
hospitable, paying the hotel bills and
the Union Pacific furnished free trans
portation. The lessee of the peniten.
tiary, Mr.. Boswell, refused to charge
for his services, and was throughout
disposed to be extremely reasonable in
his requests. Fault has been found
that the deficiencies in the Rawlins
pe%nitentiary were not made known
sooner, but as there were no funds to
remedy them the alterations and ad-
ditions could not be made until action
by the Legislature. If the legislature
adopts the committees report it will
probably take several months to get all
ready as the sewer, which is most es.
s%ential, will not be ready until the lat

1T is gratifying to know thatthe diff
cult problem is about to be solved in a

more than last year and n, 600 than in 1899.
Sheep in Chicago have had a record breaking

best previous record for a single days receipts of
cattle-S2.6oo animals-has been broken several
times.
This record breaking has not been confined alone
to receipts, but previous high records for shipments
have also been broken. and the total number of
animals slaughtered exceeds that of any previous

in the quantity of stock received the market

more than before the necessity of marketing
well bred animals if they wish greater returns upon
their investment
Inc various packing concerns nave kept pace
with the increased receipts, and in addition the
enarging of the capacity of the Older plants there
has been the installation OF machinery and

fair amount of business doing in the cloth market
for holiday week at this season. the demand of
the last month continuing strong. Generally at
this time of the year manufacturers look little

largely due to the fact that printers and

poor. Buyers refused to purchase goods at the
prices prevailing in the fall and held for

government, however, made 1t certain that print

NOT so PEACEFUL AS 1T SEEMED.
SERIOUS INTERRUPTION TO THE NEGOTI
ATOMS BETWEEN CHILL AND
ARGENTINA.

Washington, Dec. 2S-Off1cial advices received
in diplomatic quarters here indicate that the
controversy between Chill and Argentina is
again opened. According TO these advices. the
peace protocol, referring the whole subject to
arbitration. signed Santiago three days
But the action of the Argentine Minister
in signing the document seems to have caused
resentment at Buenos Ayres both among the
prominent officials and the people Accordingly
the Argentine Minister yesterday informed the
Chilian Foreign Office that he was unable TO
concur in all the terms which had been agreed
upon. In particular he specified two points to
which the Argentine Government refused to sub
scribe. The first was the withdrawal of police
from the Ultima Esperanza Province, and the
second the submission King Edward VII of
England. The formal refusal of Argentina to
sign has not yet been submitted, but the infor-
NAL statement Of the minister to the Chian
Foreign Office is regarded as a serious inter
ruption If not a termination. of the proposed
settlement.
The riotous demonstrations which occurred in
the streets of Buenos Ayres last night are
thought to have resulted from the signing Of
this protocol and TO have expressed the popular
disapproval of the settlement with Chill. The
sentiment in Argentina is warlike. and this leads
the belief in well posted quarters that Presi-
dent Roca will not succeed in any policy which
contemplates adjustment with Chill.
The Chilian Charge d'Anaires. Mr. Infante
said to-day:
note that published statement to the effect
that Argentina looked upon the recent protocol
as evidence of her very pacific tendencies, in
that 1t yielded what she regarded her un-
questionable rights in the Ultima Esperanza dis
trict. AS a matter OF fact, the Ultima Esperanza
district has been in the undisputed possession of
Chill for some time. Our police We're there, and
when IL came TO a question of arranging a
status quo. pending final settlement, under
standing vas reached that the Jurisdiction of
Chill should be maintained in Ultima Esperanza
territory. In these circumstances 1t is difficult
70 how Argentina has yielded any unques-
tionable right, for II there has been any yielding
in the interests OF continued peace it has been
through the considerateness Of Chill.
