the proposed station, Mr.. Hoar be-
came involved in Il wordy discussion
with Mr.. Tillman, who charged that
the Massachusetts senator had been
discourteous to him.
Admiral Dewey through his secre-
tary, Mr. Crawford, has announced
that he was making no plans to visit
Denver In the near future The invi-
taton to attend a banquet in Denver
on the first of May had been declined.
On that date. the anniversary of the
battle of Manila, Admiral Dewey
makes II point TO meet as many of
the officers who were with him on that
occasion as possible and celebrate the
event by banquet in Washington.
| The first banquet of this sort was held
last year. The admiral is contemplate

The Senate hns passed Mr.. Warren's
| bill providing that the Circuit Court of
Appeals of the Eighth judicial Circuit
| of the United States shall hold Mt least
one term of court annually in the city
of Denver or in the city of Cheyenne
on the first MondsF Ia September OF
each year. The Eighth judicial Cir
cult Is by far the largest in area of
any Of the circuits, and the distances
TO be travelled by litiganis for attend
ance upon the Court of Appeals are so
great as to work much Inconvenience
and expense to those having business
before the court. The terms of court
are now held at places on the extreme
northeast and southeast parts of the
circuit lSt. Paul and st. Louis), when
due regard to the convenience and in
terests of the whole circuit require that
courts be also held at n more central
| location. The cities of Denver and
| Cheyenne are located very near the ge-
ographlcal center of the circuit and
convenient to districts where mining
| and water litigation form n large part
of the business of the court. No eX-
| pense Is attached to the United States
| by the proposed additional sitting OF
the court, as there are suitable build
ings in both cities for holding the same.
On account of the great amount OF
business in the Eighth Circuit Senator
Warren has introduced a bill providing
for the appointment of an addltionIl
circuit judge. This has been fayorably
reported and will pass the Senate at
an early day.

could eventually be irrigated. He made
the plea that the remaining lands he

lease. MIR. Richards claimed that the
beef trust was not to blame for the ex-
| orbitant price of meat. II was due, lee
said, to the high price Of corn last sea
son. Receiving 60 cents n bushel for
their corn the farmers disposed of
their entire crop and retained nothing

ally In former years reared for the
market. He said that II the cattlemcn
