THE GATES PARTY
HAS LEFT DENVER
But the Fight For Control Has
Not Been Abandoned.
SITUATION is UNCHANGED
FUTURE OF THE FUEL COMPANY
RESTS WITH THE COURTS.

" ENNER, Colo, Aug. 2l.-The stu
alton in the fight for the control
of the Colorado Fuel & Iron com
pany is practically unchanged tonight.
j. w. Vaile. one of the attorneys for
the Gates people, said tonight that sp-
plication would be made for dissolu-
tion of the injunction issued yesterday
by Judge Mullins of the district court,
restraining the holding of the stock
holders meeting, but he did not fndi-
cate just when such action would be
taken. The practice Of Colorado re-
quires that five days notice accompany
such application. which would bring
the matter up for consideration some
time next week, should the application
be filed tomorrow. Judge Mullins Is ar
ranging for a short vacation IN the
mountains and evidently does not an
ticipate that he will be interrupted by
any legal steps I'm the Colorado Fuel *
Iron case. The Gates party has left
Denver for the east, and MI Vale was
not aware OF any intention on the part
of Mr.. Gates TO return to Denver in the
near future. At the headquarters OF the
Colorado Fuel & Iron company today
the usual conditions prevailed, and the
representative of the Associated Press
was dismissed with the statement that
there was nothing new.

LAMB AND POWER
TELL THEIR TALE
How the Great Merger Suit Was
Started.
ALSO. WHO PAID THE PIPER
BOURKE COCKRAN'S NAME
DRAGGED INTO THE CASE.

NEW YORK. Aug. 21.-Lawyer
~ George \. Lamb, attorney for
Peter Power, went on the stand
today and told all he knew about the
Northern Pacific merger suit He
named the men, who, with Power as
plaintiff and Captain Henry Stern as
o-between, he said, had hoped to con
ceal their connection With the Iitiga-
ton ana keep their identity hidden.
Those he named were w. Bourke Cock
ran, Camille Weidenfeld, II. Content &
Co. Edwin r. Thomas of the firm of
Thomas d Post, Wall street bankers
and brokers.
The story of Powers wandering came
out, and a plan to send him to Europe
was revealed, as was his quasi connec-
ton with the suit at issue. Lamb said
that he was practically forced by the
people back of him to send Power
away. and that they paid the expenses
of his trip TO Montreal Weidenfeld
Cochran and other sponsors of the
Power suit, Mr. Lamb declared, feared
that Power would be broken down as a
witness and would give away the peo-
pie behind it," Cochran was telephoned
to for advice in his presence Lamb de-
cIared Cochran was ons of the persons
for whom Lamb was given to believe
he was acting in pushing the suit, and
he Was one Of those who advised Power
to stay out Of the COURTS jurisdiction
and was ready to supply him with
funds to enable him to do so.
Mr.. Lamb told the story readily, as
he said he considered himself released
by the action Of his clients in repudi-
at1ng him as their counsel.
Peter Power himself was on the stand
at the afternoon session. He said that
to the best of his belief he had re-
ceived 100 shares of stock in payment
Tor the use of his name. That was his
sole interest in the suit. He had been
instructed that the subpoena service
was bad and had left New York City
with that understanding. In a measure
mis- testimony was corroborative of that
given by Lawyer Lamb regarding the
connection of Messrs. Cochran and
Weidenfeld with the suit
w. Bourke Cochran, in an interview
tonight. characterized all the testimony
relating to him as false in every detail.

Tariff Laws.

at Havana, calls attention TO an in
teresting change i'm the Cuban tariff
law which admits, cheese cloth into the
island free of duty in order to promote
what is known as the covered culti-
walton OF tobacco" Important agricul-
turnal interests of Cuba have for some
time urged that the step announced
above should be taken. and President
Palma in his message to the Cuban
congress strongly recommended the eX-
emption of cheese cloth from the pay
ment of import duties,
Covering" tobacco consists in plac-
ing the cheese cloth at a certain height
in the form of an awning over the
plants to moderate the intensity of the
suns rays, preventing the wind from
swaying and breaking the leaves, and,
most important OF all, TO guard against
insect attacks The system has been
tried with success in Sumatra
The duty on cheese cloth was from
j. 10 30 cents per kilogram (aboUt 10
pounds. and the amount imported has
been approximately $4,000 worth per
annum, d little more than one-half be-
ing from the United States.

Sound City Selected by the
Trans Mississippi Congress.
ONLY ONE OTHER CANDIDATE
ANIMATED DISCUSSION OF THE
EUSTIs RESOLUTION.

OF. PAUL, Mimi. Aug. 2I.-Seattle
y was tonight selected as the city
III which viii be held the next
session of the Trans Mississippi con-
gress in 1903. New Orleans was the
only other candidate for the honor of
entertaining the congress.
The feature of today's session was
the animated discussion OF the reso-
luton introduced yesterday by Will
liam Henry Eustis of Minneapolis, de-
handing that the address OF F. b.
Thurber of New York. which MI Eus-
it's resolution declared a specious plea
in behalf of the sO-Called beef trust,
be eliminated from the records of the
congress. Mr.. Eustis argued that the
printed proceedings of the congress
should not be made the vehicle for
disseminating literature of this class,
which, he asserted, did not represent
the views of the majority of the dele
gates.
a number of other delegates warm
" supported Mr.. Eustis, while others
as warmly opposed him. Those oppos-
ing took the ground that Mr.. Thurber,
having been invited to address the
congress. was entitled as "A matter of
courtesy to have his remarks embodied
in the printed proceedings. After
much discussion, which at times be
came rather personal, Mr.. EuStis with
drew his resolution. declaring its pur-
pose accomplished, as the discussion
upon its merits would be embodied in
the minutes of the congress and in
this way the public would be able to
see that a great portion of its mem
bers did not favor the so-called trusts
The committee on resolutions re-
ported late tonight, and its report was
adopted
No attention was given the resolution
introduced by Colonel Wetmore of st.
Louis, putting the congress on record
as against trusts, or that of F. 3. Thur
Der, in which an opposite view was
taken.
The committee refused to consider
them and they were laid on the table.
The resolutions adopted favor the ad-
mission as states of Arizona, Oklahoma
and Indian territory; call for the ex-
tension Of the system of irrigation for
the reclamation of the arid lands of
the west; favor a nine-foot channel in
the Mississippi from the Missouri river
to the mouth of the Ohio; declare for
an improved merchant marine whereby
American products may be carried in
American ships; endorse the good roads
movement; favor the establishment of
a department of commerce, whose head
shall be a member o. the president s
cabinet, and demand an improvement
in the foreign consular service.

WEATHER UNFAVORABLE FOR
ATTACKING FLEET.

T OCKPORT, Mass. Aug. 21.-Rear
Admiral Higginson. commanding
the North Atlantic squadron,
while anchored at Sandy Bay harbor
at Rockport yesterday, received in
formation that an enemy's fleet had
been sighted of the New England
coast The telegram was received on
the flagship at 11:40 a. m. Immediate
ly everything was hustle and activity
and the mimic war maneuvers sched-
uled for the navy Of the summer of

given in rapid succession, quickly fol-
lowed by the blare of bugles and the
setting Of signal flags. From that mo-

boat were the first away, starting out
of the north entrance of the harbor of
refuge for stations off Portland. The
Brooklyn and Olympia were close be-
hind, steaming in a more easteriy

keep fires in the boilers so that start
could be made at a moments notice.
No lights were permitted. Twice dur
ing the first half of the night torpedo
boats lightly and noiselessly steamed
in and out through the feet. but, re
ceiving no signal from the flagship,
they quickly departed to their stations.
Sleep was not INDUCED in to any ex-
tent. The admiral was on the bridge
up to midnight
Al o'clock this morning he again
made his appearance on deck. A few
of the scout ships came in, but re-
ported nothing Of consequence. On
board the flagship the regular Thurs
day morning duties were observed. At
$3.50 general quarters were sounded
and for an hour practice work was
INDUCED in.
