Boulder, Colo. Nov 1.-THE quarto-
centennial celebration OF the opening
of the University of Colorado began
yesterday and will continue until Sat
urday afternoon. The university
opened September 3. 1877. but as II
was not feasible to have the celebra-
ton on the exact day, the time was set
later.
When. In 1875. the Legislature of the
territory Of Colorado appropriated $15.-
900 on condition that the town of
Boulder raise an equal sum. IL took but
short time to raise over $1,000 more
than the required amount. There were
1l2 subscribers to that fund. the
amounts ranging from SIS to $1,000. or
these subscribers forty-seven have
gone to their rest. and all of them
'builded better than they knew when
they secured the location OF the insti-
tuition at this place. The solitary main
building OF 1875 has now twelve others
near by. and the thirteenth. library,
is now in course OF construction. When
completed 1t will be the fourteenth
building on the university campus.
In town to-day the university colors
OF silver and gold are displayed in the
windows of the business houses and
from the tops of flag poles.
The celebration opened to-day with
exercises under the auspices of the
school Of law. which was started in
1892. with Judge Moses Hallett of DEN

The bill for the establishment of the
university was introduced in the

Charles f. Holly of Boulder county.
In 1868 substantially the same bill was

Roosevelt After Bear.

Cincinnati. Nov. 1S.-To-night Pres
fdent Roosevelt is speeding on his way
to Smedes, Mississippi, about twenty
Ave miles north of Vicksburg, for a
four-day bear hunt. The place select
ed for the hunt is some miles from
the railroad and is in the region which
was formerly the favorite hunting
ground of Gen. Wade Hampton.
Years ago the President and Gen
erai Hampton planned hunt in this
region, but it was never made. and
when President Fish of the Illinois
Central proposed the present trip. the
President readily assented. The Pres
ident, however, does not anticipate the
pleasure of killing a bear so much as
the pleasure of few days complete
recreation in the woods. To one who
has hunted grizzlies in the Rockies.
black bears are not very big game.

same months of the previous year
The demand for China also declined
owing to the retirement of most Of the
foreign troops called there during the
Boxer troubles of 1900. While the
troops were there the shipments of
silver were exceptionally large and
after their retirement silver bars and
Mexican dollars accumulated at the
seaports in unusual amounts, render
ing further imports for the time un-
necessary The European demand for
silver for coinage purposes is light, as
the governments are pursuing the pol
icy of supplying needs for subsidiary
coins by the recoinage of full legal
tender coins.

output of the United States is from
silver ores. the remainder being re-
duced in conjunction with lead and

FORBIDDEN TO LOBBY
ORDER REIssUED BY THE PosTMAS-
TER GENERAL.
Postal Employees May Not Come to
Washington for the Purpose of In
Auencing Legislation.

Postmaster General Payne this morning
reissued the following order:
mo postmaster. post Office clerk, letter
carrier. railway postal clerk or other pos
tai empIoye shall visit Washington, wheth-
er on leave with or without pay, for the
purpose of influencing legislation before
Congress.
"Any such employe of the postal service
who violates this order shall be liable to
removal.
"Postmasters and other employees of the
postal service are paid by the government
for attending to the respective duties as
signed them, which do not include efforts
to secure legislation. That duty is assign
ed to the representatives of the people
elected for that purpose.
'If bills are introduced in either branch
Of Congress affecting the postal service,
upon which any information or recommen-
dation is desired, the Postmaster General
Is ready at all times to submit such as
lies in his power and province"
This order was issued originally by Post
master General Wilson, and has been en-
forced by each of his successors. Its re-
appearance at this time is not due to any
present activity on the part of post office
subordinates, but as a preventive against
possible action on their part during the
current Congress.
