WARM WELCOME FOR KRUGER.
Dom Paul is Greeted by Enthusiastic
Delegation at Rotterdam.

Rotterdam, June 27.-Mr. Kruger,
president of the late South African re-
public, was welcomed at the railroad
station on his arrival here yesterday
by the burgomaster. Populations from
numerous societies and many ladies'
Two bands of music, on a platform,
played the Transvaal anthem, and
hundreds of workmen's societies were
drawn up along the streets leading
from the station to the town hall, to
which Mr.. Kruger was driven, escort
ed by a guard of former Transvaal off.

Great enthusiasm was manifested
everywhere.
In a speech of welcome at the town
hall the ~burgomaster spoke Of the sim
ilarity between the Transvaal and
Dutch struggles for liberty and said
Rotterdam wished. through Mr.. Krue-
ger, to pay homage to the little Boer
nation which had shown such faith
and confidence in its W strength.

BURGLAR
TRIES TO ROB A SALOON AND
BARBER SHOP AND
FAILS.
Prizes Hasp from Rear Door Of a Room
Used for Storage Purposes But
Fails to Enter Either the Saloon
or Barber Shop-Nothing Stol-
en-.

Some time during the night a bur-
glar made an attempt to rob either
Bailey Cornwall's saloon or Charlie
Nissen's barber shop, but was fright
ened away u gave it up as a hopeless
task before any great harm vas done.
The two businesses are in the same
building on Grand avenue, between
Front and Second streets. and are
reached from the rear through a room
used by both-the saloon as a storage
for empty bottles and casks and the
barber shop as the boiler room for the
baths.
A door opens from a sort of shed
into this room, and this door was fast.
ened on he inside by a hasp screwed
into the door and locked through a
staple into the door facing. This hasp.
fastened with four screws each an inch
long, was pried off, the screws being
pulled from the wood.
The doors leading into the saloon
and barber shop from this room were
locked securely, and the burglar made
no attempt to force either. Nothing
from the store room vas missed, and
no other damage than the prying off
of the hasp was done.
The b~arkeeper at the saloon found
the rear door open when he opened up
this morning and at once reported the
matter. The burglar would have been
i'll repaid at either place, as there was
no money left in the cash drawers.
and the best he could have done would
be to steal saloon stock or BARRIERS
tools. There is no clue. of course. as
the burglar l'ir no footprints or tools
of any kind.
1t is believed the would-be burglar is
a young mar who has been drinking
considerably of late, and who, while
hardly responsible for his actions, in
his great desire to get whisky tried to
force his way into the saloon for that
purpose.

A change that will affect Laramie tC
a considerable extent will be made or
the Union Pacific at the close of the
month, when the freight engines
which are now running between Lara,
ME and Rawlins and Laramie and
Cheyenne, will be run through from
Cheyenne to Rawlins, and not turned
here.
This will not affect the train crews
-trainmen and enginemen-as they
will stop here as heretofore, but its
effect will be felt mostly in the car
and engine shops, resulting in their
being closed and the transfer of sixty,
nine men to other positions on the
road or being relieved from service en-,
tirely. All the men have been offered
positions at other points on the road
Rawlins, Evanston and Cheyenne,
and a good many of them will accept
the new positions, hoping for some
turn of affairs that will send them back
to Laramie in the not distant future.
The men affected will include a
large proportion of cheap labor-men
who are not skilled laborers, but en-,
ployed on the coal chutcs. cinder heaps
and in the round house as wipers. so
that the net loss to the city will be
much smaller than a good many men
had believed.
Orders came several days ago to the
office of the assistant superintendent,
but little has been said of it in print
or otherwise, many hoping it might
prove untrue and disliking to excite
comment. But the facts have become
so well known to many people that
its publication now can do no harm.
The order at first covered just the
running of the freight locomotives
through. and that did not look so bad,
but with this came the conviction that
with no engines to repair here engine
repairers were not needed, and the
added fact Of the closing of the shops
came as a second wind.
The shops will be in charge of viii.
liam Roth as foreman and a force of
ten men. This will include nine men
in the engine shops and one to make
such repairs on the cars in transit as
are absolutely necessary. The sixty
nine men who now make up the re-
mainder of the shop force will be sent
to other shops and division terminal
points if they are to go.
General Foreman Tierney has been
given the choice of two other posi-,
tions. at Rawlins or Cheyenne. In
fact, he was offered the Laramie posi-,
ton. but declined to take it. 1t is not
improbable that he will retire from

BITTEN BY A HORSE

William Thees, who drives Il gray
team for Theodore Tregoning, was bit
ten on the arm by one of the animals
yesterday afternoon, and sustained a
painful wound. though the skin was
not broken.
The animal did not viciously bite Mr..
Thees 1t was in play at the watering
the latter, missing the horse and
catching the driver on the muscle of

arm, but the bone was not broken.

attention to his splendid ranch farm
in Carbon county.
A. Armstrong. who has been in
charge of the car repair force, will go
to Cheyenne for the present, where he
has been offered a position in the
shops, but will not remain there perma-
nently.
p. C. Eichhorn, chief clerk in Gen,
eral Foreman Tierney's office, and a
young nan admirably fitted for the
position he has held or a similar
one, has been offered the posi-,
ton as chief clerk to the general
foreman at Evanston division terminal
station, but as yet has not decided to
accept it. He will have no trouble in
getting what he wants.
The change at the shops, it is I'M
derstood. will not reach to either the
assistant superintendent, dispatch
er's Or roadmaster's offices, and they
will be conducted as heretofore.
There was talk that the closing of
the shops was only temporary. as the
company had an object in view, and
that when this was accomplished. as
it might be in one, two or six months.
the shops would be rehabitated and a
larger force of men than even put to
work.
Another man. an eX-railroad man,
asserted that the present move is only
an experiment, and that, it proving
impracticable, the company would re-
store the old status before snow fell.
He went so far rs to say that the en-
gines could not stand the pressure of
the increased mileage and would have
to be more or less repaired every time
they passed Laramie. as the hill was
very hard on them, the coal bad and
the water not what it should be for so
long a trip.
An old railroad man. on his way
from Cheyenne to Ogden, said here
yesterday afternoon that he had
watched one of the big engines climb
the Sherman hill, and he could not see
that much change for the better had
been made in the grades. The grades
had been reduced somewhat, but with
that had come increased tonnage, so
that the net gain had been very small.
Some of the men affected by the
changed condition here own their
homes in Laramie, and for many
months to come the families of many
of them will continue to reside here,
so that the money spent by these men
in other places will be for the bare
necessities of a separate establishment
for themselves, the bulk of their wages
coming to Laramie for the support of
their families.
To The Republican it seems the mat
simists would paint for it, and while
we all deplore the necessity that will
drive some of our best citizens to seek
elsewhere. the loss will not be great
enough to seriously affect the pros
perity of the community. We will go
right on. maintaining our reputation
as the best city of its size in the Uni
ted States and the Gem City of the
iner-mountain region.

INDIANS SPEAK WELSH.
Crook Tradition of Early Corners "
Taught Them Welsh.

Almost at the moment OF the proc
lamation of a new prince for Wales
comes Intelligence which, If correct,
brings additional honor to that land,
says the London Leader.
Major e. II. Cooper, the well known
explorer of the home of the cliff dwell
ers, who is well known in Denver and
Colorado, has announced in Chicago
his discovery of evidences of a Welsh
settlement in America before the time
of Columbus. Major Cooper was ex-
changing greetings with Creek In
dians when his two Welsh compan-
ions began to criticise the Indian camp
in Welsh. Suddenly the oldest chief
stopped, listened and then ran to the
WelShmen and embraced them, speak
ing to them rapidly in Creek-which
they did not understand-and then
more slowly pronouncing words which
made them start and stare in amaze
ment The Indian was speaking
Welsh.
Subsequently the chief related ira
dition of the tribe. 1t appears that
many years ago, when the Creeks
were great people, there came among
them up the Arkansas river a consid-
cradle number of white men. They
were the first the Indians had ever
seen, and they brought many strange
iron utensils and weapons, strange
customs and language. They were
adopted into the tribes. AS their in
fiuence increased they impressed n
the Indians many of their customs,
but chiefly words from their tongue.
They told the Indians that some day
other white men speaking these same
words would come among them and
they must preserve those words to
greet them.
A similar tradition has been pre-
served by the Navajos. In an ancient
mound, moreover, Major Cooper found
an iron knife, such as the Welsh
made in the early days, and on it
We're the figures 1857. 1t seems like
ly, therefore, that Welshmen settled in
America a century before Columbus
was born.

RICH PRIZES GIVEN IN
SWEDEN AND NORWAY

Washington, Dec. 27.-United States
Minister Thomas has reported to the
state department that events of unusu
al importance and interest took place
December 10th at Stockholm and
Christiana in connection with the
first award of the Nobel prizes. AL
fred Nobel, the discoverer of dyna-
mite, who died five years ago, left
substantially the whole of his vast for
tune for the benefit of mankind, and
in his will directed that it be divided
into prizes, without regard to nation
oIjty. the worthiest to be awarded
prize, whether he be a Scandinavian
or not.
These prizes consisted of five allot-
ments, each of more than $4,000 The
awards We're as follows:
In Physics to Wilhelm Conrad
Roentgen, professor at the University
of Munich, the dlscoverer of the
Roentgen rays; in chemistry to Jaco-
bus Henricus Want Hoff professor at
the University of Berlin; in medicine
to Emil Won Behring. professor at
Halle, the discoverer of diphtheria Sc
rum; in literature to Sully Prudhomme,
member of tht French Academy the
works of peace prizes We're divided be-
tween Frederick Passy, national econ
omist of France, and Henri Dunant of
Switzerland, the leading spirit in
bringing about the Geneva Convention
and instituting the societies of the
Red Cross.
The prize diplomas were awarded by
the crown prince in person at Stock
holm, in the presence of a great gath
ering of distinguished people, and at
Christiana the award was made by the
Norwegian Stortbing, convened in SOL
emn session. ully-Prudhomme was

PANAMA ROUTE SEEMS LIKELY
TO BE FAVORED BY CONGRESS

Panama is the better route and that If
any offer to sell at the commissions
valuation is received It will get favor
able attention.
An important development of the
day is the discovery that the Isthmian
canal commission may be induced to
change its recommendation for the
Nicaragua to the Panama route. II
the French company submits an offer
of sale at $4,000 900, and that offer is
referred by the President to the com
mission the chances are in favor of re-
versal of its attitude by the commits
sion. 1t is equally certain that the
commission Will not consider favora-
bly, an offer at higher price than the
amount it fixed as the value of the
property.
1t can be stateI that the commission
recommended the Nicaragua route be-
cause it had no choice. as the Panama
people would not meet the situation.
Should the commission not change its
recommendation from Nicaragua to
Panama, it is pretty certain that the
Senate would follow the commission.

In a paper on Advanced Study Of
Teachers" Il. W. Elder of the East
Denver high school spoke on the neces-
sity of teachers keeping thoroughly in

thorities the necessity of giving the
teachers time to devote to study Of

Chicago. Dec. 27.-The Record-Her-
aid publishes the following from
Washington:
1t may be Panama after all. AS soon
as the holidays are over and Congress
returns to town the battle of canals
is expected to rage with great fury.
The Nicaragua route still has the ad-
vantage, but 1t is not to be permitted
to carry off the honors without a strug-
gle. Panama is developing unlocked
for strength. Private kilograms from
Paris indicate that the new Panama
Canal Company is prepared 20 submit
a definite offer of sale at the value set
by the Walker commission-s40 ,000.-
600. If the Panama company does sub
init such an offer and includes all its
property. there is a chance that the
strong tide now running in favor of
Nicaragua may be stemmed.
In the House it is believed that the
Panama route at any price would re-
ceive scant consideration. but in the
Senate a strong Panama party is de-
veloping. Influential senators say pri-
vately that they are convinced the

HAHN'S PEAK ROAD
TO BE BUILT RAPIDLY

Denver, Dec. 27.-It is officially
given out, says Laramie dispatch.
that 1t is the intention of the Laramie.
Hahn's Peak & Pacific Railroad Com
pany, owing to the many important
mining discoveries and developments
of the present year. to build about 600
miles of line. and that the system will
be strictly independent of any other
railroad. The first 100 miles, for
which the contract has been let to Nils
Callahan. will be built on a common
stock basis. that is, when built and in
operation there will not be oEs dollar
of Indebtedness against it.
The graders have now reached the
Little Laramie, twenty-one miles west
of this city.
Upon leaving Centennial the rail-
road builders will follow the line of
survey to the Rambler mine in the
Douglass creek district. and thence to
Gold Hill. eighteen miles from Centen-
tennial, and very little further on ac-
count of the change in the original sur
vey required to take in the Rambler.
From Gold Hill the road will push on
into the Platte valley country, the En-
campment and Battle Lake districts.
Other points to be reached as fast as
circumstances will justify are Baggs,
Wyoming. and the North park. Hahn's
peak and Steamboat Springs districts
in Colorado. This is the route as far
as laid out. The line will tap the great
coal measures of the North park and
will pass within mile of the import
ant coal deposits in the Centennial
valley in this county, which the own
ers are now taking steps to open up.
The Interstate Townsite company.
one of the fourteen corporations
financed by the firm of Isaac Van Horn
& Co., is now pushing the erection OF
a magnificent office building in Lara
mie, which will be the general head
quarters of the railroad company and
the home of all the associated corpor-
ations. 1t will be ready for occupancy
about April 1st.
