Appropriations May Wait.

Deputy Auditor Daniels has COM
menced the classification of appropria-
tions made by the last General Assem-
bly,. This shows that the total is 81
290, 1851, but from this must be de-
Quoted about 100000 that was paid for
salaries and expenses out of the short
appropriation bill. This comes from
the general fund. From the internal
improvement there was appropriated
$122,000 by thirty-one road and bridge
bills.
Under this classification a number
of the appropriations are undoubtedly
doomed. because they are SO near the
bottom that only an unusual receipt OF
of money by the state can provide for
them. Even funds to be devoted to
new buildings and improvements of
state institutions will not be available
for a year, because the revenue Is not
in sight.
Nearly one-half of the total is in
cluded in the first class. This indicates
that the state institutions will receive
their allotments for maintenance only.
Not until the reports from counties are
received can the auditor apportion the
revenue. Then some of the building
appropriations maybe available.
1t will also be impossible to draw on
all of the road and bridge funds at
present. The internal improvement
fund, from which this money comes,
contains only $S5, 900 now. The income
will undoubtedly be sufficient. how
ever, to provide for all of them before
the end of the biennial period.
Following is the classification of the
appropriations, with the total for each
class.
First Class-Legislative appropria-
tion. $4,000: short appropriation bill.

COLORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY
Industrial training for convicts.

Industrial Training for convicts.
Governor PEABODY has announced
that he will head movement to pro-
vide employment for the prisoners OF
the Canon City penitentiary and TO
place In that institution complete
staff of instructors for tAe purpose OIL
fitting men for useful lives after they
have served their time.
Commenting on the question the
Denver Republican says:
with the conditions as they are at
present, the men confined in the prison
are in danger of becoming insane. and
are certain to come out in much worse
condition than when ley went In. To
provide them with employment, the
governor and the board OF control Will
be compelled to overcome the opposi-
tion of the labor unions. Behind the
governor in this movement are hun
dreds interested in bettering the con-
dition of the prison. These have urged
upon him some action for relief. Many
have called in person. others have sent
letters. All urge the executive to at
tempt some change. From the prison
ers themselves, the governor has re-
ceived scores of letters. Many of
them plead for work. for anything that
will occupy their minds. Through the
warden, John Cleghorn, the governor
has received similar appeals.
Convict labor laws have made con-
ditions worse. By passing the bill re-
quiring label on all convict-made
goods, the last Legislature clinched
the already strict enforcement of idle
ness. The bill was aimed at products
of penitentiaries of other states. but
it has terrible effect in Colorado.
Proper instruction has never been
given the prisoners in the penitentiary
of Colorado. If the plans are carried
out. n staff of competent persons will
be employed, and the unfortunates
who are restrained of their liberty will
be given an opportunity to learn some
trade or perfect themselves in any
thing for which they show an apti-
tude"

GEN. BALDWIN DID NOT ISLANDER
FILIPINO AND NEGRO SOLDIERS

Baldwin, but was garbled from the ar
ticle in the Post of April 18th; that
General Baldwin's interview with the
reporter the afternoon of April 18th
was not sensational enough to suit the
paper and the story was twisted and
put in such shape that the reporter was
not willing to be held responsible for
it and he resigned in consequence of
the position in which the publication
of the article placed him. The News
is also a sensational paper.
Il was told that when the Post ar
ticle came out, the News reporter who
intervio wed General Baldwin the night
of the 18th was scored for not getting
this sensational story. The News of
the 18th, in publishing an authentic in
teyview with General Baldwin. added
to it the original sensation which the
Post had published.
so far as could gather from con-
versation with newspaper men. they
did not credit the original Post inter-
view from the start.
Tho Republican. the only conserv-
ative paper in town. did not try to-
learn anything about it. nor mention
it.
81 four1 General Baldwin much cha
grined at the notoriety thrust upon
greatly humiliated at the thought that
any one would believe him guilty of
the utterances alleged in these news
paper articles: that any one could be-
lieve him so poor a soldier as to be
Indifferent to the lives of the men he
commanded was to him source of
deep regret"
Secretary Roots endorsement is as
follows:
War Department. Washington, May
s. 1903.-It appears by this very ex-
haustive investigation, in which testi-
mony was taken under oath by duly
authorized officer. that the publication
ascribing to General Baldwin state
ments rejecting upon the Filipino SOL
diers in the service of the United States
and also upon the negro soldiers of the
United States, was false; that no such
statements were made by him.
THE papers accompanying the re-
port OF the inspector general leave no
doubt in my mind as to the correctness
of his conclusions.
1.-The report and papers will be filed
without further action.

New Army Rifle Favored.
q Washington, May 9.-The army
board which has been for months past
considering the merits of the new SER
vice rifle or musket has finally de-
clared in favor of weapon with a
barrel only twenty-four inches in
length, using 80 ball.
The new gun is remarkable weap-
on, according to the ordnance officers,
for while it is four inches shorter than
the Krag, and only two inches longer
than the carbine, it is more powerful
than either, with a higher initial ve-
locity and fiatter trajectory.
1t can easily penetrate twenty-four
one-inch pine planks. 1t is a pound
lighter than the service rife, which
is consideration in the tropics. A
new feature is complete encasement
of the barrel in wood, to prevent burn
ing the hands of the marksman when
the gun is rapidly discharged.
The weapon was evolved by United
States army officers and is not patent
ed. 1t is asserted to be the most pow
erful musket in the world.

Philadelphia, May 9.-Rev. DR.. Will
liam H. Roberts, stated clerk of the
Presbyterian general assembly, has re-

presbyteries on the question Of creed
revision. Eleven overtures were sent
to the presbyteries by the last general
assembly.
OF the returns received 1856 are in
favor of all the overtures, thirteen are
partly affirmative. two negative and
three took no action.
This vote ratifies the proposition,
which required majority of two
thirds of the presbyteries, and practi-
cally assures the adoption Of the re-
vised confession of faith by the gen.
eral assembly, which meets in Los
Angeles this month.
