Majority and Minority Reports es the
Committee.

Committee.
Denver, July Is. Two reports In ref
erence to the county printing contracts
were handed to the chairman Of the
county commissioners yesterday by the
county investigating committee. The
majority report, signed BY N. ]. McNa-
mara, chairman. and George p. Steele.
secretary, exonerates both parties to
the contract OF any fraud and cOllusion.
The second report, signed by w. H.
kistler, declares that the method Of
letting contracts would be dangerous
under ordinary business circumstances,
and that the only way Of getting at
the truth In full In regard to county
printing contracts would be an inves-
tigation by somebody with full legal
powers. Both reports concur in the
statement that the difficulty Of getting
witnesses renders their services no
longer useful. Both reports are very
short, tnking up but three pages of
typewriter matter.
Ar. Kistler's report affirms that the
statements made In the report Of the
committee appointed by Judge Lind
sey, alleging overcharRes to the amount
of between $4,000 ana $4,000, have
been confirmed by the work of this
committee. tG ~

ROUGH RIDING CONTEST.
Mountain and Plain Festival Board
viii Hold One In Denver.

Denver, July 1J.-Denver is to have
rough riding contest this fall, for the
worlds championship which will be
larger and liyelier even thnn the great
show of bucking horses and gallant
riders which was the most popular fea-
ture Of last falls festival.
The festival directors last night de-
cided that the bucking contest should
be held, even though there will be no
festival. This action was taken be-
cause Of the large number of chal-
lenges which have been received from
horseinen ali over the West, who are
anxious to compete for the champion
ship silver belt upon which Sowder of
Wyoming now has the first mortgage.
At last nights regular meeting of the
festival board the plap committee re-
ported that In view OF the conditions
Of the rough riding contest, announced
last tall by the festival bOartl of direc-
tiOn by which n contest was to be held
every year and In view of the large
number of challenges for the belt
which are now on file, 1t would be
necessary TO arrange the contest. This
report of the plan committee was
unanimously adopted, and the commit
tee was instructed to report as soon as
possible its recommendations as to
the time and place for holding the con-
test-iA Denver, of course. G. NJ. Ward,
the chairman of this committee, will
call 1t together to-day. and as soon us
1t is ready to report. a special meeting
Of the festival directors will be held to
perfect the arrangements. us
Secretary Mcnamara wishes 1t un-
derstood that the entries for the con-
test are by no means closed. Anyone
In the world who wants to enter may
do so merely by appearing with his
saddle before the contest begins, but
Of course the sooner the entries are In
the easier 1t will be for the committee
to make arrangements for the contest.
The work of gathering In the
spoiled horses of the western plains
will be begun as soon as possible, SO
that there may be goodly collection
here. Bfr. Mcnamara knows Of at
least twenty cowboys In Wyoming who
intend to compete, and there will prob
ably be sixty or one hundred from Col
orado. Wyoming, Montana, Texas, New
Mexico and Arizona by the time the
lists are closed and the first unwilling
broncho Is dragged into the arena.

Chicago, July 15.--While the whole
sale business of this city Is almost
completely paralyzed, and while Its
business men are standing loss of
$1,O00,O0O day, the striking freight
handlers and the railroads are In a
deadlock and announce their determi-
nation to fight to finish over the ques-
ton of one-half a cent per hour per
man, or total Of $500 for every TWEEN
ty-four hours, this being divided on
one side between twenty-four railroads
and ON the other between 10000 men.
The situation Is more serious than at
any time since the commencement OF
the trouble. and at no time since the
walkout have the points at issue been

yesterday the freight handlers sent

cnAeFte sLAmEs WALLER.
Verdict Of Aequittal pisapprevsd In
Very Strong Language.

Washington. July 15.-The incoming
Philippine mail brings the full printed
record OF the proceedings in the court
martial cases of Major Lyttleton w. I.
Waller and Lieutenant John Horace
Arthur Day Of the marine corps, grow
ing out Of the killing of some native
bearers, or Cargadorres, In Samar. The
record shows that Major Waller was
acquitted Of the charge of murder, but
that General Chaffee, declaring that
there has been a miscarriage of JUS
tice in this case," disapproves the find
ing and the acquittal, VITA the excep-
ton that, while Waller should not have
been found guilty of murder, the court
should have included lesser offense." !"
General Chaffee's Endorsement is very
strong, and he declares that with the
exception of three who deserted, no
overt acts were committed by the Car
gadorres, but on the contrary, those
sent to their death continued to the
last to carry the arms and ammuni-
ton Of the men after they were no
longer able to bear them, and to render
In their impassive way such services
as deepens the conviction that, without
their assistance, many Of the marines
who now survive would also have per-
ished."
In the case of Lieutenant Day, who
also was acquitted, General Chaffee
disapproves the finding to the speciti-
cation and charge of murder. He says
that Lieutenant Day should have
known that his commanding officer,
Major Waller, had for three weeks
been under test of mental and ply
steal endurance such as few men are
called upon to undergo; that he was
sick with fever, his temperature 105.
and his body covered with painful
sores. Day was the only officer not
sick on duty, and his plain duty was
to counsel delay In the execution of the
orders to kill the natlves.'
General Chaffee refers to the order
of Major Waller as tainted" and says
that 'it should have prompted him
day to positive disoDedience Of the
same"
Notwithstanding the disapproval, the
two officers We're released, us they
could not be tried twice for the same
offense.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, March 27.-The feverish and
erratic speculation in Colorado Fuel oc-
cupied the largest share OF attention on
the Stock Exchange today. The violent
drop of 53s in the price of this stock was
alleged to be due to the desires of the
members of the pool to shake off a weak
following preliminary to renewed ad-
vance in the stock. A more logical ex-
nlana ton was found in the admission to
the Stock Exchange list for the first
time, today, of the convsrtible bonds OF
the company. The bonds declined sharp

Close of a Remarkable Career.

A wonderful man was Cecil Rhodes,
"the empire builder" the dethroned
king" the Colossus" who now lies
dead at his South African home. That
he should accomplish all that he was
able to in the As years of his life shows
the stupendous energy and the vast
executive capacity of the man. He
accumulated untold wealth, developed
great tracts of South Africa, founded
the extensive domain known as Rho
desia, and managed enormous bust
ness interests. But more than that he
was devoted English imperialist, and
it was his ambition to see the red flag
Of his country wave not only over
South Africa but over the whole of the
African continent. The famous Jane
son raid was his movement and it
proved a grave mistake. His plans and
ambitions were more than of person.

he sacrificed much to make England
Z
English papers abused him with more
virulence than was shown by his for
eign critics. No doubt his end was has
tened by the war which he had been
such factor in bringing on. OF late
he has not been in sympathy with the
government policy and the public feel
ing toward him in England has grown
very cold.
Many contradictory estimates of this
haps the most extraordinary of the
many comments made on his career is
that given by John Hays Hammond of
New York. long associated with the
diamond king in his work in Africa.
Says Mr. Hammond: THE Dutch of
South Africa found in him always a
sympathetic friend, ready to give them
a helping hand financially and to as
sist in the development of any projects
advantage to the farming class.
Within q very short time there would
have been a revulsion of feeling, and,
strange as it may sound, today, Rhodes
would have been able to re-establish
his influence with the Dutch. He would
have been quick to take advantage of
the situation and would have passed
into history as the great pacificator of
South Africa. This estimate of Rhodes
is shared even today by many of the
progressive Dutchmen in the country"
We hardly believe that Mr.. Kruger and
the Boer generals would accept the
judgment of the American writer.
