MEETING TO SETTLE
 COLORADO STRIKE The First Session of the
 State Commission
Subsequent Meeting of Mine Managers in the Matter of Shipping Ore to the Boycotted Reduction Works.

Denver, Colo, March 21.-The first meeting of the commission appointed by Governor Peabody to investigate the smeltermens and miners strikes was held this afternoon. Judge Hoyt was elected chairman. President Mover and Secretary Haywood of the Western Federation of Miners submitted all the documents they had bearing on the causes of the strike and MT. Mover took the stand. He said the chief cause of the strike was the discharge of men because they belonged to the union.
 McNeill and Penrose of the United States Reduction and Refining company were present with their attorney, K. R. Rabbit, and the latter desired to cross examine, but MT. Mover declined to permit it as his attorney was not pres ent. The commission then adjourned until Monday. Dr. Slocum of Colorado college, a member of the commission, was not present today, but will be next meeting.

PREACHER LEIIICH
 PERSONA HOH GRATA
The Methodists Of Utah Ask For His
 Removal.

Salt Lake, March 21-The Telegram today states that twenty of the twenty five pastors whose churches are within the jurisdiction of Rev. J. L. Leilich, superintendent of the Utah Missions of the Methodist Episcopal church. have united in a protest to Bishop Warren Of Denver against Rev. Leilich asking for his removal to some other field This protest will be sent to the Central Pennsylvania conference, of which Lei lich is a member
 Leilich is the divine who preferred the charges of polygamy against Sena- tor Shoot. These charges which di6 not receive the sanction of the minis terial alliance, apparently have no part in the protest, which sets forth that his methods have caused friction and his removal would be for the best in terests of the Methodist church.

FOOLED THE HOSPITAL.
Was Pronounced Incurable But Got
 Well on Pure Food.

Sometimes in a case of disease result ing from the use of improper food the symptoms are so complex that medical science cannot find the seat of trouble, and even the most careful hospital treatment fails to benefit. A gentleman of Lee, Mass, says: "On April 1st, 1900, was sent home by one of our Massa- chusetts hospitals, saying nothing more could be done for me. I have been a great sufferer from nervous diseases and rheumatism and nervous prostra- tion and had previously been treated at sharon Springs and by number of doctors without getting much assist ance.
 "One day I was feeling worse than usual when I read an article about your Grape Nuts that impressed me so that I sent out for a package. I commenced using it at breakfast the next day. For fifteen months I never missed

FIGURLNG UP BACK PAY.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, March 21-Roughly estimated the 10 per cent increase granted by the miners by the strike commission will amount to nearly SS,- 000,0C0. The miners have worked about l2O days since November 1, which is the basis for the above estimate. The coal companies Ss:y they probably will have the accounts of the men ready by April ], and until that date the amount can not be definitely stated. Because of tfe abnormal prices for coal, it is difn- cult to say what advance the sliding scale will make. There is no standard on which to base the calculation be- cause of the increase of 50 cents on a ton made by big coal companies last fall. This additional increase is was stated would continue until April l.

The Union He Believes Is Indirectly
 Recognized.

Detroit, Mich, March 1.-The deois- ion oi the anthracite ccal strike com mission is on the whole Q decided vic tory for the miners, and I am pleased with it. said President Mitchell of the United Mine Workers Of America, in an interview tonight with an associated press representative. The anthracite miners Of Pennsylvania have reason to be much pleased with the commission $ award and I am sure they are
 He added: "The most important fea ture O: the awrd is of course tie in crease Of 10 per cent given to the min CTS. This will result in 2n annual in- crease in the wages of 140.cC0 miners of Pennsylvania Of $5,00c.09O. The sliding scale provided fer by the commission is very satisfactory irasmuon as a mini mum of $4.5G per ton is fixed. With white ash coal at S5.5G per ton at tide water, the increase provided in the siid- ing scale will be equivalent to 20 per cent more in the miners wages
 President Mitchell was asked if he was disappointed because the comris- sion did not recognize the union form ally, ard he replied that he was rot, because the decision of the commission and it's awards were in themselves q recognition Of the power and influence Of the United Mine Workers.

TAKING UP SLACK
 IN COLORADO LINES
Rio Grands Planning Great Cutoff
 Projects.

Salt Lake, Utah, March 21.-The Tri- bune tomorrow will print the following:
 Chairman Gould of the Rio Grande has in view one of the greatest cutoff projects yet planned in shortening the lines of rans-continental railroads. Denver and Rio Grande but the Rio Grande Western as well, and creating a through line from Denver to the Pa cific coast as well as from Salt Lake.
 The line from Denver to Leadville will be shortened so as to secure a straight line between the two cities. Between Leadville and Grand Junction many smaller cutoff lines will be con- structed to secure line, grade and curve reductions, in which the Green River line from Denver and from Marysville, Utah.
 The extension to Los Angeles will complete a short line from Denver to that city, Another line will be built from some point in Utah on the Rio Grande Western to connec, with the Western Pacific. By these cut-ofrs considerably over 300 miles would be eliminated between Denver and Sa1ina as compared with the present route via Pueblo and Thistle, a saving which would mean a days run practically and therefore Of the utmost importance IT relation to a through line.

KOSSUTH'S DEATH
 CAUSED TWO OTHERS
Result of Celebration of Anniversary
 of Patriots Dying Day.

Budapest, March 21.-Two Of the stu oting yesterday evening on the occa- sion of the celebration of the anniver- sary of the death of Louis Kossuth, died today. Many others wounded with swords during the police charge are in a serious condition.
 The students assembled today at the university and hoisted a mourning flag in memory of their comrades who were killed. Later about 5000 students car rying mourning flags marched to the chamber of deputies headed by the deputies of the Kossuth party and de- manded the punishment Of the authori- ties responsible for the attack on stu dents. They sent a deputatioE to the premier, who promised to make an in quiry into the matter but he pointed out that the streets did not belong to the students, whose disturbances en- dangered the safety of the general pub iA
 Subsequently the Kossuth deputies bitterly complained in the diet of the action of police, demanded the dismis- sal of the police prefect, and reproach- ed the government for posting the po- lice in positions where they were like ly to provoke further collision with students. The uproar became so great that the sitting had to be suspended. On it's resumption Premier Szell an nounced that the police would be with drawn, that a strict inquiry be made, and that anyone who had exceeded his duty would be punished.

Memphis, Tenn, March 21.-Tonight there are many hopeful features in the flood situation in the immediate terri tory about this city. The guage shows 39.7 feet, which is a fall oi four tenths since last night at o'clock when the water became steady on the guage. It is now believed that the fall is due to natural conditions rather than to the drainage of water from the Mississippi by breaks in the Arkansas levees to the north, although the fall might have been slower if the crevasses had not oc- cured.
 It is currently believed that the fall will continue without check and that the crisis is past. President Kiilough of the St. Francis board today sue ceeded in sending a large barge through the crevasse at Trice's Land ing for the rescue of stock and proper ty at Marion, Ark. Tie steamer Hugo
