Glaagow, Oct. 7.-Whatever may be
the opinion held regarding the great
question which Mr. Chamberlain has
raised, or the probable issue of his cam
paign, 1t is generally admitted that he
has opened it in a mastery manner. 1t
was an inspiring scene within st An
drews' hall. where he delivered his
speech last night. Every corner of the
auditorium was packed with men and
women. cheering, singing and waving
handkerchiefs as the chairman led Mr.
Chamberlain to the platform. The
late colonial secretary, pale but self
possessed and alert. with his custo-
mary eyeglass and orchid, stood bow

COL ORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY
Preparing for Kansas Suit.

Attorney General Miller and the
corps of able lawyers associated with
him in the defense of the suit brought
by Kansas to put stop to irrigation
in the Arkansas valley are giving spe-
cial attention to the preparation of ev-
idence to be used on the trial. while
at the same time they are guarding all
the legal points.
In view of the attitude taken by the
members of the Supreme Court on the
argument of the demurrer filed to the
first bill of the plaintiff. it looks as il
the case would not be gained on any
purely legal point, apart from tho
facts. Accepting this as a possibility
the attorneys and State Engineer Car
penter are gathering great quantity
of evidence going to show that irriga7
tion in Colorado does not violate any
right enjoyed by the people of Kansas;
Important in this connection are tha
measurements of the river which the
state engineer has been making for
some time BY means of the evidence
thus obtained the inquiries of the Su-.
preme Court in regard to certain mat
ters of fact can be readily answered.
Along the same line are the measures
ments already made by the state en-
gineer showing the course OF floods in
the river and what becomes Of the wa
ter.
AS part of this preparatory work At
torney General Miller has had search
made OF documents bearing upon the
history of the Arkansas river and the
country through which it flows. Ex
plorers who passed along its banks or
upon to testify to the character Of the
stream long before there was any irri-
CATION to divert its waters.
This historical evidence strongly
supports the assertion made on behalf
of the defense that in an arid region a
stream grows smaller as it proceeds
from its chief source of supply. In hu
mid countries river becomes larger as
it advances toward its mouth. But it
Is not so with rivers in an arid region.
as thousands of men in the Rocky
mountains can testify. An arid region
stream loses much Of it's volume be-
cause the water sinks into the sands.
some of it finding its way far below
inlo the rock formation. Thus the tes
timony clearly shows that near the
mountains the Arkansas has always
been a larger stream than 1t is two or
three hundred miles east of Pueblo.
1t is the thorough preparation OF the
defense which justities the hope that
Kansas will fail in its attempt to check
irrigation in this state, thereby de-
stroying millions of dollars of valuable
property which is the result of the re-
camation Of arid land through irriga-
tion.-Denver Republican.

AS THE RESULT OF "A CRISIS
BALFOUR FORMS NEW CABINET

Graham Murray. lord advocate Of
Scotland, succeeds Lord Balfour of
Burleigh as secretary for Scotland.
Lord Stanley. financial secretary Of
the ,war department, succeeds Austin
Chamberlain as postmaster general.
The three weeks cabinet crisis has
endG In manner more remarkable
and dramatic than its inception. Mr..
Balfours new ministry affords a
measure OF the enormous difficulty he
has An to contend with in the task OF
reconstructing the cabinet and its com
position seems to indicate that the pre-
mier himself can have but little belief
in its durability. The most sanguine
supporters of the government tonight
express the smallest hopes of such an
administration living many months,
and The prevalent idea is that there
will be general election before Par
lament reassembles.
The withdrawal of the Duke Of Dew
onshire is a heavy blow. Had he re-
mained. the government might possibly
have survived another parliamentary
session by avoiding legislation dealing
with he fiscal problem. but with him
goes the support of the strong party OF
Liberal-Unionists in the country.

Washington. Oct. "a desperate
hand-to-hand encounter with an armed
insane man who was determined TO see
President Roosevelt. occurred in the
yestibule of the White House shortly
telore noon yesterday.
Inc man. who gave his name as Pc

lis, was overpOwered by the officers on
duty at the White House entrance and

Ing to realize then, for the first time.
that he was under arrest. Elliott began
g. furious struggle with his captors for
liberty. He drew a revolver and at
tempted to shoot Officer James CisSell.
The officer grabbed his hand and
wrenched the weapon from his grasp.
IlliOtts struggles were so fierce. how
ever, that the two officers, in the
rramped quarters of the van. were un
able to overcome him. Officer Cassell
then drew his revolver and fired two
shots to attract attention.
Chief Usher Thomas Stone and Off
Ger Parker of the White House force,
who had assisted in carrying Elliott to
the van, attracted by the shots. rushed
back to the vehicle and assisted in
overpOwering him.
In the struggle within the police van
Elliott had broken a glass panel with
his head. severely cutting his head and
face. Officer Cissell sustained a serious
cut on his right arm. two inches of the
flesh being cut out of the tleshy part of
the arm. He suffered considerably
from loss of blood, but his injuries are
not serious. The van was hurried to

MINE OWNERS TO
FIGHT FEDERATION

Colorado Springs, Oct. 6.-The mine
owners and operators of the Cripple
Creek district held an important meet
ing at the Golden Cycle company's Of
fee in this city yesterday with Presi-
dent L. A. Colburn in the chair. Every
producer In the district but the Port
land was represented. The organiza-
ton adopted several resolutions gov
erning the conduct Of its members in
regard to the strike, reiterating its de-
fiance of the Western Federation OF
Miners The members of the executive
committee were reelected and the or
ganization perfected.
1t was resolved that hereafter no
member Of the association shall grant
a lease to any member of the Western
Federation of Miners or to any lessee
having in his employ member of the
federation. Another important motion
carried, to the effect that a permanent
labor bureau be established similar to
that of the Coeur dAlene district
whereby employees can be secured
for all the mines through ono agency.
The third resolution expresses COM
plete satisfaction at the success OBJ
tanned thus far and the executive COM
mittee was empowered to continue its
management of the association. The
association has no officers, its entire
business being in the hands OF the COM
mittee. The latter is composed of the
following members. who will serve un-
til the annual election In January.
President E. A. Colburn; Vice Pres
ident A. r. Holman; Secretary c. c.
Hamlin; Thomas Cornish. John Wald
ron and William cambridge.
After the meeting Secretary Hamln
gave out a brief but forceful interview
In which he denied rumors 70 the effect
that the association had Joined the op
orators throughout the West to fight
the Western Federation of Miners.
I'VE have troubles of our own to
fight In the Cripple Creek district"
he said, without aiding in general
contest outside our own boundaries.
But in this district we will wage the
fight to determination. Within thirty
days the camp will be producing its
usual tonnage and though so far as we
are concerned the strike Is over. We
have much house cleaning to do.

MUST BUY FROM

New York, Oct. G.-"No country

source of food supply for Great Brit
ain, said Sir Thomas Upton, when
seen at the Waldorf upon his arrival
from Chicago. But as one who ex-
ports a great deal from this country to
Great Britain" he continued, Il should

portation of food products. | have al

The VrOpOsed tax on food products
would raise the cost of edibles for the
poor man in Great Britain. His pay Is
small now; his buying ability would be
reduced if the price of foodstuffs were
increased.

RAILROADS SEEK
TOURIST TRAVEL

Denver. Oct. THE recent meeting
OF the western passenger agents at ST.
Louis resulted In the appointment OF
committee consisting of the passenger
agents of the Denver & Rio Grande, the
Rock Island and the Burlington. for
the purpose OF formulating a plan to
induce worlds fair patrons to make
western tours. This plan, after 1t Is
formed, will be submitted to the West
ern Passenger Association at Chicago
The committee will include in its
plan a comparative statement OF the
increase in Colorado tourist business,
showing it is growing every year and
is now an important factor in railway
earnings. Notwithstanding the floods
early in the spring the tickets sold to
Colorado this year exceed those sold
last year by 5000 Even more reassur-
ing, however. is the steady growth Of
the tourist business. Each year makes
a better showing than the year before.
The question of the effect of the
worlds fair on western business is one
about which eastern and western rail-
road men do not agree. The eastern
passenger agents point out that very
few of the patrons of the Chicago
worlds fair went farther west. Their
idea is that a large proportion OF the
people will find the worlds fair SO eX-
pensive they cannot afford to go far
ther.
The western passenger agents, how
ever, call attention to the fact that very
little advertising of western resorts
was done at Chicago. whereas at st.
Louis there will be up-to-date booths
where the delights of vacation in the
mountains will be fully set forth. Al
so during the worlds fair the Colorado
tourist business had not been created.

Second Suit Against Rouse.

Another suit was filed Septem-
Der 29th in the District Court
at Denver against Van E. Rouse.
former treasurer OF the State
Worlds Fair Board. asking him
for $221.S9, representing the sum all
legged to have been in the possession
of the defendant at the time OF his
removal and the appointment OF Harry
Casady to succeed him. The suit was
filed by Attorney General n. c. Miller
for Harry Casady.
The complaint sets forth that on Aug
ust 5, 1901. the governor appointed
the board to display at the fair tho
wealth of Colorado and at that time
appointed Rouse as treasurer. On
May 6, 1902, 1t Is stated that Rouse
gave $4,000 bond with the American
Bonding and Trust Company of Balti-
more as security. and later, on August
3, 1903, Rouse was put out OF office b.
the governor and Harry Casady ap-
pointed in his place.
1t is claimed that at that time Rouse
had $221.s9 on hand in cash which he
refused to give over to his successor.
and the suit asks judgment for that
amount with Interest at the rate OF
eight per cent per annum from August
10, 1903.
A few weeks ago the former suit
was filed in the district court against
Rouse asking judgment for more than
$4,000. 1t was claimed that he had
taken this amount out of the general
fund to use for the construction OF
buildings. This sum had been sepa-
rated from the other funds in order to
keeo it from revertins to the general
fund according to law, if not used with
In year from the date OF apDropria-
ton.
Rouse claims that the governor had
no right to remove him from the office
of treasurer and on this ground re-
fuses to turn over the money. The
board on the other hand claims that
the governor mad perfect right to
remove him and that further. even if
he did not have the right, the board
itself had the right to remove Rouse
as treasurer At the time Rouse was
removed, George'W. Thatcher was also
removed as president Of the board,
and Paul Wilson appointed in his
place.
