Denver. Feb. 2S-The Supreme Court
yesterday morning announced its de-
cision that the Rush amendment was
valid, and a binding part Of the CON
stltution OF the state. The decision
was made by Judges Steele and Cab
bert, Chief Justice Campbell dissent
ing. No opinions were handed down,
ard will not be until next week.
Though motions for a rehearing may
be made, and the case carried to the
Supreme Court of the United States,
the public officers displaced by the
amendment are generally yielding
their positions. and in a few days the
city OF Dec:er will be operating under
the provisions of Article X X. of the
constitution. AS a result of the decision
the counties OF Adams and South Arap-
ahoe are also legally established.
Quite number of legal points re-
lating TO the government of Denver re-
main to be determined. and the attor-
neys are awaiting with great interest
the opinions of the Court, to see how
much ground is covered by them.
A vast accumulation of business has
resulted from the period of uncertain-
ty while the case was being considered
by the court and it will be months be-
fore the dOckets of the courts are
again cleared. A general revival of
activity in business and in poll
tics is looked for, the community in
general accepting the decision as final.
The charter convention will be held
April 1th. Its term will be limited to
sixty days. The convention viii con-
sist of twenty-one members. The char
ter formulated must be advertised for
thirty days. At the end of that time
it will be submitted to popular vote
If adopted. the election of city officers
will probably be held at the time of
the regular fall election in November
The only other candidate to be voted
for this year will be a justice of the
Supreme Court to succeed Chief JUS
tice John Campbell. and, after that,
taxpayers will be spared an enormous
expense for alternating elections.
The following are now the officers Of
the City and County of Denver as pro-
vided in the amendment:
Mayor-Robert r. Wright, Jr.
Treasurer-C. S. Elder.
Auditor-D. A. Barton.
Attorney-Harry A. Lindsey.
Clerk and Recorder-Julius Aichele.
Assessors. H. Alexander.
Surveyor-Peter OBrian.
Coroner-W. P. Horan.
Sheriff and ChieI of Police-IIamil-
ton Armstrong
Judge Of County Court-B B. Lind

RESOLUTIONS OF
CATTLE GROWERS

D,nver, Feb. 2S.-The following res
olutions were passed by the Colorado
Cattle and Horse Growers Associa-
ton yesterday.
Whereas. should House Bill No IA.
nov pending before the Legislature of
this state, become law. the new board
have power to appoint local inspectors
wherever needed in this state; and
Whereas, in the districts where
there are organizations of local stock
men. the members thereof should be
best, qualified to say who will be the
proper person to act as inspector of
their stock; therefore be it
Resolved, that as far as possible,
all local inspectors should be appoint
ed by the advice and consent of the
local live stock organizations, which
should also be permitted to recon-
mend the removal of any inspector
who should prove unsatisfactory or in
competent. and the new board, when
appointed. is earnestly urged to adopt
such rule to govern such appoint
ments."
Whereas. the bills now pending in
the Fourteenth General Assembly pro-
yiding for new stock laws have been
constructed under the idea that in the
future business, not politics. will pre-
vail in the new board to be appointed
under the new provisions of these
acts; therefore be it
Resolved, that we most earnestly
beg of his eXcellency, Governor Pea
body that he appoint members on the
new board who are practical stockmen
and business men. and that he assist
us in securing an administration in
which the interests of the live stock
industry rather than the interests of
any political party will be protected.
Resolved. that it is the sense of
this convention that the new board of
stock inspection. when appointed. at
once adopt a rule that brand and sani-
tary inspectors and all employees OF
that board be appointed because OF
their ability to do the work required
of them and that their political com
plexion shall not be taken into con-
sideration. 1t is the earnest desire OF
the Stockmen of the state that only
frst-class men be employed as inspec-
tors. and that once employed they
shall be discharged only for failure to
perform their duty, dishonesty or in
competency 1t is also desired that the
board shall make rule that no in
spector or employe shall act as an
active political partisan. and that any
inspector or employe who shall be-
come In any sense an offensive politi-
cal partisan shall be promptly dis
missed from the service"

The decision of the Supreme Court.
besides untying the people and ofhcers
of Denver from an ENHANCEMENT OF
uncertainties, also opens the way LOT
the counties of Adams and South Arap-
ahoe to do business. These counties
were made OF the fragments left after
Denver had been carved out OF the Old
county of Arapahoe. Their oiilcers
were appointed last December and or
ganized, but business has been allowed
TO accumulate while the legality OF the
existence OF the county governments
was being determined. Following are
the county officers whose places are
now established beyond dispute:
Adams CCunty-Rice Means, judge;
Martin r. Bromley. sheriff; George NJ
Griffin, treasurer; c. f. Lunney, coun-
ty clerk; Martin l.. Bowling, survey
or: Charles X. Cook, assessor; James
Mckeon, coroner; Mrs. Mary {. Z.
Bradford, superintendent OF schools; Z.
H. Pierce, county attorney, and tfea
Watts. John Benbow and James f1z-
patrick, commissioners.
South Arapahoe County-Stephen Il.
Pratt, Judge; Charles Gallagher, sher-
iff; David Howard, treasurer; Charles
A. Berdel, clerk; Charles A. Smith.
surveyor; Paul J. Hogan, assessor: ..
NJ. Hurst, coroner; Katherine NJ. Ma
loney, superintendent of schools; John
Rush, attorney, and c. B. Patterson
and S. r. Brown, commissioners.
The decision of the court did not
make the Rush amendment operative;
but it was to the effect that the Rush
amendment was then and had been op-
erative from December 1st last, the
time of its promulgation by the gov
ernor. All acts performed by any Of
ficerS whose terms of Office were term
mated by the Rush amendment are by
implication held to be illegal acts and
of no binding force and effect. That
this would lbe the case was, however,
well understood, so that in nearly all
cases precautions were taken against
bad effects from a decision either way.

Washington. Feb. &c. - President
drawn under the terms Of the Plat
amendment. providing for the acquisi-
ton by the United States OF a naval
station at Guantanamo, and a coaling
station at Bahai Hondo. both in Cuba
The document had been previously
signed by President Palma and was
brought to Washington by Minister
Squiers. It does not specify the price
Of the properties to be acquired by the
United States and this detail is left to
be settled by the usual legal condem-
natory proceedings. after the Navy De-
parrment has decided exactly the
amount OF land it wishes at each place
With these two places properly forti-
fed as naval bases. the Gulf of Mexi-
co would not be possible of occupation
by hostile fleet, and the Caribbean
sea would be unsafe for an enemy. AT
Guantanamo there will be erected eX-
tensive coal docks and perhaps short
line of railroad to connect the port
with the backbone railroad. already
finished by private enterprise. Bahai

used as place for the storage Of coal.

viii not be necessary to submit 1t tC
the Senate. President Palma. however,
deems it expedient TO submit the agree
ment to the Cuban Senate, but from
the nature of the report made to Sec
retary Hay. there seems to be little
doubt that such approval is already
assured. In fact. ii is said that had
the United States so desired, it might
have included the splendid bay of Nipe
on the northeast coast. in its list of
accessions as coaling stations
