POLITICAL

The Republican state convention
has been called for September l2, &c
meet in Denver. The County Central
Committee will be called to meet in
Florence August 20. to determine on
date for the county convention.
There will probably be two county
conventions, one to select delegates 20
the state convention and one TO nomi-
nate county ticket.
The convention to select delegates
will probably be called for August 80
or the first week in September.
There isn't much of county ticket
TO be nominated However. We have
county commissioner, representative.
a float representative with Chatfee
county, a senator and a float senator,
with Pueblo and Teller counties.
The Record believes that the con-
vention to nominate these officers
should be called as early as possible.
The Republican party always gains

FORTY FORTS CAPTURED.
Captain Pershins infIiets Disastrous
Defeat on Macin Moros.

Manila, Oct. 5.-Capt. John ]. Per-
'shing's column has completely routed
the Macin Moros, in the island of Min
danao. killing or wounding hundred
of them and capturing and destroying
forty forts. Two Americans were
wounded.
Tuesday the Moros retired to their
largest and strongest fort on the lake
shore, and, Wednesday Capt. Pershing
attacked them with artillery, lombard
ing the enemy for three hours.
At noon Lieutenant Loring. leading a
squad of men, attempted to set fire to
the fort. He crept under the walls and
started blaze, but the Moros discov-
cred him and forced the Americans to
retreat.
During the afternoon the Sultan Of
Cabugalan led sortie at the head of
band of fanatics armed with krisses.
They crept through the grass and
sprang up and attacked the Americans.
The Sultan was wounded six times and
boloed an American before he died. His
followers were killed.
In the darkness Wednesday night
Captain Pershing took his batteries
within hundred yards of the fort,
closed in his infantry lines and resumed
the attack. The Moros broke through
twice and attempted to escape by the
beach, but were discovered and many
of them killed.
The Moros abandoned the fort early
Thursday, after fifteen hours lombard
ment, and Thursday Captain Pershing
destroyed the rest of the forts and re-
turned to Camp Wears.
1t is believed the moral effect of the
defeat of the Moros viii be great Gen.
eral Davis has ordered that hostilities
be stayed in order to permit the Sultan
of Bacalod and other hostile Sultans to
make peace.
The Sultans of Macin were confident
of their ability to defeat the Americans
and vowed before the fight to enter
slavery voluntarily If they themselves
were defeated.
General Davis has sent General Sum-
ner, in command OF the American
forces in Mindanao. congratulatory
telegram on the success of Captain Per-
shing and the small American loss.

An.i-saloon League vs.. Funston.

Springfield. Ohio, Oct. edwin
Dinwiddie, president of the American
Anti-Saloon League, gave out the fol-
lowing statement yesterday with refer
ence to the attitude of the league on
the army canteen.
III such reports as that published
from General Funston are correct. two
things are apparent. First the can.
teen or beer-selling army saloons SO de-
bauched the men in the service that
these conditions of drunkenness and
disorder exist, not by reason OF it's
abolition, but because its presence dur
ing the twelve years has had a demor-
alizing effect on officers and men; sec
ond. when generals and commanding
officers are ready to state that they
cannot maintain discipline without a
beer saloon. 1t is certain proof OF their
incompetency.
I'VE advocate the present law on the
broad principle that the government
should neither be in the saloon busi-
ness. permit premises to be used for
such purposes nor officially tempt its
soldiers to drink"

sTRArToN WILL CASE.
Probate Proceedings Postponed Until
Next Month.

Colorado Springs, oct. 5.-Judge Orr, ).
in the County Court yesterday, ruled
that the Stratton will should not be
presented for probate in that court un-
til November 10th. and all proceedings
before that tribunal will be continued
to that date This does not prevent
the executors taking such steps as may
be deemed necessary to expedite mat
tiers, but 1t is understood that the case
will be allowed to rest until the time
set by Judge Orr. The administrators
played a game OF delay and had the
court postpone the hearing of the will
until later in the day. and intimated
that they would attempt to have a post
ponement until some day the next
week.
When the second attempt was made
at 1850 o'clock to probate the will be-
fore Judge Orr the attorneys for l..
Harry Stratton. the son, appeared and
asked the court to issue summons
calling all the legatees and beneiciaries
into court at some later date. to be
present when the will should formally
be offered for probate.
This was strenuously objected to by
the attorneys for the executors. Judge
Orr overruled their objections and i'm
mediately ordered the citation issued
and set November 10th as the day when
the legatees should appear and the will
be probated. The effect OF this order is
to stop all procedure in connection with,
probating the will until that date.
In the District Court Judge w. 8.
Seeds set the hearing for the contro-
versy between the executors and ad-
illustrators for next Thursday morn
ing. Judge Seeds will probably be out
Of town and Judge Cunningham will
preside. 1t is thought that the exec
utors will ask for more time on certain
matters connected with the adminis-
traitors appointment. and . contin-

WYOMING RAILROADS.
Plans and Rumors Of Plans for Build
ina Many New Lines.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Oct. Present in
dications are that next year will be one
of railroad construction and improve
ment in Wyoming. In addition to plans
for Improvement and extension that
have been announced there are num-
ber of rumors of work which will be
done which cannot now be substan-
tiated. Chief of the work mapped out
is the double tracking of the entire
Wyoming division of the Union Pacific.
Work will commence in Cheyenne early
in the spring and the number of men
employed will discount the cutoff days
on Sherman hill, when the riff-raff of
the country came to Wyoming on con-
tract labor.
Then the Union Pacific will undoubt-
edly build into the Grand Encampment
country. The survey for this line has
been marked with 5000 grade stakes to
the mile. a corps of surveyors being in
the field the entire summer. The Over
land will have to build within short
time to get ahead of the Laramie,
Hahn's Peak & Pacific and the South
ern Wyoming Railway Company. both
of which were organized to build to
the Grand Encampment section. and
one of which. the Laramie, Hahn's
Peak & Pacific. will not pause at Cen
tennial. but will push on to Gold Hill
Immediately. and from there through
the southern part of the Grand En-
campment district into Routt county,
Colorado. that is unless headed off by
the Union Pacific. Either this COM
pany or the Union Pacific will eventr-
ally connect with the Motfat road near
Steamboat Springs.
The Burlington undoubtedly contem-
plates an extension of its Cody branch
through the Big Horn basin and to
Camp Irwin. on the northern edge of
the Shoshone reservation. There could
have been no object in building to
Cody. but line through the basin
would in short time cause to grow up
a tributary country business that would
more than pay ample interest on the
money invested.
At the rate the Hendersons are put
ting down wells in the Lander field (if
they carry out their announced inten-
tion) they should begin the construc-
ton of a line from Casper or the Union
Pacific to Lander within the next six
months.
In addition there are reports Of a
short line extension from ST. Anthony,
Idaho. into the Yellowstone park coun-
try: Burlington extensions from Lyons,
Colorado. into Wyoming. and from
Guernsey across the state in a north
westerly direction. The Colorado 4
Southern will improve its Wyoming
line in order to handle an increased
output from the Sunrise mines. the
Burlington branch to Cheyenne is to
be improved and the service made
better and the Fremont. Elkhorn 4
Missouri Valley. It Is said. will make
large improvements to ita Casper line
and the service over the branch
