Martial Law in Colorado.

DENVER, Dec. 4.-Governor Pea.
body at noon today issued a procla.
nation declaring Cripple Creek under
martial law and suspending the writ
of habeas corpus. He declares hat
the gold camp is in state of insur-
rection and rebellion and that the
civil authorities are powerless.
In support of his action the govern
or cites the blowing up of the portion
of the Vindicator mine and other acts
of lawlessness, and he declares that it
is impossible to control the turbulence
OF the camp by ordinary peaceable
methods.
The proclamation does not state in
so many words that martial law has
been declared and that the writ of
habeas corpus has been suspended,
but officials at the state house say that
both these things are intended. The
military will now deal with all al
legged offenders and try to punish
them.

Bryan Makes Patriotic Speech.

LONDON, Dec. st. P. O'Connor
gave dinner at the National Liber al
club tonight in honor of VIM. Jen-
nings Bryan at which number of
Irish and liberal members of the house
OF commons and several representa-
tives of the English and Americ an
press were guests. There were no set
speeches, but Mr.. Bryan, in few elo-
quent remarks, told how he had
profited by his visit and how he had
been impressed by the way in which
the people here devoted themselves to
the welfare of their country.
Mr.. Bryan said the ambition and
pride of the people of country should
not be in saying, "Our army and
navy are the best in the world,'' but
in having the best government in the
world, in being able to say that "Our
government stands for justice and
humanity and is so recognized in all
parts of the world"
To that end, Mr.. Bryan said he
would devote his life and hoped to be-.
queath his children a legacy greater
than any accumul alton OF wealth.
