prflClALPhPER OF GUNNisoN COUNTY
The Elbert County tribune., 1903-02-12
An.I.1rus. Legislation Certain.

A New York Herald special says that
John ID. Rockefeller. or a wicked part
ner," has supplied the sensation of the
hour and has made 1t absolutely GER
tain that the department of commerce
bill will pass with the amendment in
serted by the conference committee of
Congress providing for publicity on the
lines advocated by Attorney General
Knox.
There is a great deal of mystery re-
garding the. alleged Rockefeller tele-
grams to senators asking them to de-
feat the publicity feature of the depart
ment of commerce bill, and most of the
members of the Senate discrodit the
report on general principles, saying
that Rockefeller is too adroit a man
to resort to such open methods in iniiu-
encing legislation. but there is no room
for successful denial of the fact that
kilograms were sent to both members
of the Senate and House. and they were
signed John ID. Rockefeller"
1t is believed here that Rockefeller
will not deny that the kilograms were
sent. The only good denial now
could do would be to raise question
OF yeracity between the source from
which the first news came and Rock
phl ludl NOulu NOT serve the
purpose of the Standard OIL Company.
No denial would change the situation
in Congress regarding this legislation.
The opposition OF the Standard Oil
Company has made the carrying out of
the Presidents trust program absolute
~ certain. In consequence of the dis
closures in connection with the alleged
Rockefeller kilograms, these things ap-
pear to the most experienced senators
as absolutely certain:
F'irst-An agreement between the
Senate and House to adopt the report
of the conference committee on the de-
partment of commerce bill, which will
introduce into the federal statutes the
publicity principle for which the Pres
ident has been contending
Second-Passage by the House of the
Elkins interstate commerce bill in rela-
ton to rebates, which has already
passed the Senate.
Third-Avoidance of an extra session
of Congress. in consequence of action
having been taken on the trust ques-
tion.
Little concealment has been made re-
Gently ofthe fact that the Standard OIL
Company is opposed to the publicity
feature of the department OF commerce.
bill. Friends and foes of the bill, alike,
have known this for several days.

ROOSEVELT WILL
VISIT COLORADO

Denver. Feb lO.-The Republican
this morning says
President Theodore Roosevelt will.
be in Denver shortly after the adjourn
ment of Congress This information Isl
contained in a letter 10 John w.
Springer, president OF the Roosevelt
Club.
You may say on my authority thnt
the President is coming" said Mr..
Springer last night Il am not yet at
liberty to give out his letter. but he is
certainly coming and will be in Colo
RADIO for several days. He will be the
guest of the Roosevelt Club while he
is In Denver. and we will try to get
him up some sort of hunt. but II is al
together too early now to say anything
about the program"
Mr.. Springer explained that the visit
of the President. so far as he knew,
had nothing to do with the recent dis
agreement among the Republicans OF
the state, because OF which n consider
able number of people have gone To-
Washington to explain the election of
a Democrat as United States senator.
THE object OF the Roosevelt Club IN
to build up the Republican party. said
Mr.. Springer. .and we are not taking
part in any Of the disagreements. The
President has accepted our invitation
to be here. ! will call meeting of the
club shortly to consider the Presidents
visit. and also to take steps to begin
active work for the spring campaign,

London, Feb. 10.-The Mail this
morning publishes a dispatch from
Guatemala declaring that war has been
proclaimed between Guatemala on the
one side and Salvador and Honduras
on the other.
According to previous dispatches
from Panama. Guatemala and Saliva
dor We're on the point OF war at the
beginning Of this month. The Saliva
doroan and Guatcmalan armies. COM
manded by their respective presidents.
Generals Regalado and CABRERA. were
on the frontier accompanied by reyolu-
tlonary refugees. Troops were con-
stantly leaving the capital of Salvador,
San Salvador, for the Guatemnlan
frontier Nicaragua was actively help
ing General Regalado. president of
Salvador. The Nicaraguan cruiser
Momotombo had landed at Aeaiutla,
Salvador, 500 rifles and 100000 rounds
of ammunition. which President Ze-
laya of Nicaragua had sent for the
Guatamalan revolutionists. Honduras
also was said to be acting with Saliva
dor and Nicaragua in opposition TO
Guatemala.
1t seemed that the movement. ne
cordlng to the Panama dispatches, was
the outcome of the congress OF tho
Central American republics at. Corinto
Nicaragua, last year. at which n treaty
was drawn up and subsequently signed
providing for the arbitration OF every
disagreement between the republics.
The Elbert County tribune., 1903-02-12
SALVADOR AND HONDURAS ARE
ARRAYED AGAINST GUATEMALA

While the congress was being held a
serious misunderstanding occurred
between President Regalado Of Saliva
dor and President Cabrera of Gunte-
mala. II was announced from San
Jose. Costa Rica. October 4th. that the
Central American court of compulsory
arbitration had been Installed there.
but that Guatemala had refused to par
ticipate.
The movement on the part OF Saliva
dor. Nicaragua and Honduras was re-
ported to be aimed against Guatemala
in consequence of her attitude at the
Corinto congress, and against Costa
Rlca. which is supposed to sympathize
with Guatemala. Central American
union would be the osteHsibie object
of the expected war. the real motive
for which, according to Panama ad-
Vices, was that the presidents OF Sal
vador. Nicaragua and Honduras wished
to follow Mexico's precedent and ca-
tablish federated republic of the Cen
trail American states.
The Central American situation Is
further complicated by the interven-
'tion of Guatemala on one side and
Nicaragua and Salvador on the other
in the election of the president OF Hon
duras. Guatemala is in favor OF tho
president-elect. Manuel Bonllla, while
Nicaragua and Salvador insist that the
retiring president OF Honduras. Cen
eral Sierra, shall continue in the prosi-
dency.
