effect at what is known as the Black
sampler. owned by the U. S. r. & H.
company. where 2S men are employed.
The Ell Paso Gold King force, with the
exception of a few men, is at work as
usual.
The Portland mine. which was placed
under ban. is now reported to be 'un-
der consideration" by the union Off
cials. President James Burns is in
camp and Superintendent Fitzgerald
reports tonight that no order looking
for cessation OF work has been served
on him. Mr.. Burns emphatically denies
that his company is shipping any ore
TO the mills of the U. s. r. & II. Co.,
but is treating all of its ore at the Port
land mill at Colorado City.
The sensation of the day is the dec
laring unfair" OF the Telluride mill at
Colorado City. The reasons are not
given out but it is claimed by the COM
mittee that it has evidence showing
diversion of ore to the unfair" mills.
The Golden Cycle company, employing
not less than 125 miners, was waited
on by committee this evening. and
the miners of the night shift responded
to the call.
The Golden Cycle mine was receiving
air from the La Belle plant and was its
biggest customer. The plant will un-
doubtedly close as the other properties
supplied with air by it are also placed
under the ban.

Poll Tax Must Be Paid.

Seventy thousand male voters in
Colorado have neglected to pay their
poll tax and unless they come up and
pay the assessments OF 81 each. It is
likely that the iails in the different
counties will have to be enlarged to
hold the debtors. says the Denver Re-
publican of August 7th.
Adj. Gen. Sherman Bell announced
yesterday that he should demand a
strict collection of the military tax of
81 each for each male voter In the
state. In the past years he says the
collection has been n matter OF poll
tics among many county officers and
no efforts have been made to collect
the money.
For this reason he is preparing a
letter to the county assessors which
he will send by registered mail in or
der TO insure its receipt In this let
ter he demands that the law be en-
forced, and says that il the amount
isn't forthcoming soon he will cause
wholesale arrests of those who either
will not pay or who think they can
not and that he will keep them in Jail
until the amount, with costs, is paid.
Under the law he is able to do this.
and he announces that lie will carry
out the provisions of the statute with
out fear or favor and that all, from the
highest TO the lowest, will stand good
chance of spending some time in Jail
If they do not pay the tax which al
though small at the present time, will.
n forcible collection is required,
amount to at least S25.
The changes made necessary under
the Dick militia bill and the strike at
Colorado City has been an enormous
drain on the military fund. so that the
authorities find themselves with a
small amount of money on hand. and
are determined to add to Il by collect
ing the $4,000 due from the people
OF Colorado.

Oyster Bay. n. Y, Aug. l1.-In let
ter. the publication OF which was au-
thorized to-day, President Roosevelt
commends Governor Durbin of Indiana
for the attitude he assumed recently re-
specting lynching The Presidents let
ter is. in part. as follows:
oyster Bay. n. y. Aug. 6, 1908.
my Dear Governor Durbin: Permit
me to thank you as an American citi-
zen for the way in which you have
vindicated the majesty of the law by
your recent action in reference TO
lyncang.
Men must feel the gravest alarm
over the growth of lynching in this
country, and especially over the pc
culiarly hideous forms SO often taken
by mob violence. when colored men are
the victims, on which occasions the
mob seems to lay most weight, not on
the crime, but on the color of the Grim
inal. In a portion of these cases the
man lynched has been guilty of
crime horrible beyond description;
crime so horrible that, as far as he
himself is concerned he has forfeited
the right to any kind of sympathy
whatsoever.
THE feeling of all good citizens that
such hideous crime shall not be hide
ously punished is due not in the least
to sympathy for the criminal, but to a
very lively sense OF the train of dread
full consequences which follows the
course taken by the mob in exacting
lnhuman vengeance for an inhuman
wrong. In such cases, moreover, 1t is
well to remember that the criminal not
merely sins against humanity In un-
pardonable fashion, but sins particu-
larly against his own race and does
them q wrong far greater than any
white man can possibly do them.
Therefore in such cases the colored
people throughout the land should in
every possible way show their belief
that they. more than all others in the
community, are Mortified at the COM
mission of such a crime and are pecul-
larly concerned in taking every possi-
BILE measure to prevent its recurrence
and to bring the criminal to immediate
justice. The slightest lack OF vigor. Ell

IN MACEDONIA

Sofia, Aug 11.-"Nothing can end
the present revolution in Macedonia
until our national aspirations are sat

are exterminated."
This was the concluding statement
made TO the correspondent of the AS
sociated Press who is investigating the
situation in Macedonia, by. the Mace
donian commission at the revolution

Boris Sarahoff. the head and front
Of the movement. is with the insur-

THE object of the rising" said the
form which will assure the Christian
people OF Macedonia security for their
lives and property, and the right to
participate in the administration Of
the country.
THE present revolutionary organi-
NANAOH nine years
ago, when the persecution of the Bull
garian population of Macedonia be-
came fragrant. To-day all Macedonia
is embraced in the movement and
though it was not intended to strike
so soon. because the preparations for
the uprising were ~ sufficiently COM
pleted, the recent outrages of the
Turks, the massacre of the innocent,
the filling of the prisons with innocent
persons. the pillaging of villages and
the extortion of heavy fines on various
preteNts, so exasperated all that insur-
rection was decided upon, no matter
what might be the outcome.
The fighting area is widening and
will gradually embrace every vilayet
in Macedonia, until the autonomy OF
the country has been gained by force
of arms or by the Intervention OF those
great powers which desire peace. Not
until then will we lay down our arms"
The Macedonian revolutionary COM
mittee is now drawing up and Will
shortly circulate declaration ad-
dressed to the powers. explaining Ma
cedonian grievances and the objects
OF the revolution.

Worm Disease In Germany.

Berlin. Aug. 1.-THE governments
efforts to check the tropical worm dis
ease among the mine operatives in
the Essen district have proved unsuc-
cessful. The latest reports indicate
that the disease is spreading. Its pres
ence has Just been discovered ip the
colonies of Franziska and Bergman.
in the middle of the Ruhr region.
which hitherto has been exempt from
the disease.
According to previous reports the
tropical worm disease has attacked
10000 Westphalian miners. The gov
ernment commission investigating the
disease reported that only those min
ers who rarely see the sunlight are af-
nicted. The disease is fatal.

The Board of Capitol Managers at a
meeting held Aug 5th. spent most Of
the time in settling up old debts owed
by the state for the state building.
Among other things they turned 81
570.75 over to the city of Denver on ac-
count of the money owed for paving
the streets surrounding the capitol.
This money is part of the appropria-
ton of 1899 which has not been avail
able until this year This leaves them
still owing the city some $l2 900. Then
they paid little over $4,000 to the
contractors who have had charge Of
the painting and decorating of the in-
terror of the capitol. Ten per cent. OF
this. or 81 roo, is still held out as a Sc
curity reservation until the work has
been approved by the state architect.
II is claimed that the best and most
extensive list of premiums ever Of
fered in Colorado is included IN the
pamphlet Just issued by the Colorado
State Fair Association and these pye-
miums will be paid in full no matter
what happens with the state appro-
priatiop and the promise of the Fair.
Association to this effect will be suf-
ficient assurance to those who were
former exhibitors and are familiar
with the character and past record of
the gentlemen comprising the manage
ment. II there is only one time in
the year that the people of Colorado
can get away from their home sur
roundings and give themselves a
glimpse of the broader world. 1t should
be when the people OF the state get
together to compare experience and
progress at the State Fair.
Judge Bailey at Canon City. July
30th. granted the release of Michael
Quinlan. the life-timer who applied for
release under writ OF habeas corpus
The writ was granted on the ground
that when Quinlan was sentenced from
Park county. for murder in 1889. the
statute specified that life term
should not exceed twenty-five years,
and under the prison rules, deducting
time for good behavior. Quinlan had
served his life sentence. Quinlan has
been a model prisoner, never having
been reported or punished since his
entrance to the prison. a period of
thirteen years and nine months. As
soon as released he took the first
train for Trinidad. near which point
he goes TO n ranch with relatives.
Quinlan says his trouble was caused
from overindulgence in strong drink
and his last word on leaving the prison
was that never again would he touch
drop OF liquor.

COL LORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY
Auditor WIN Honor Vouchers.

The vouchers issued by the Worlds 5
Fair Board at Its last session will be
paid Auditor Holmberg has received
an opinion from Attorney General NIL
Ter To- the effect that he is warranted in
honoring them.
The opinion states that II the vouch-
er is acted upon by the board and
signed by the president aud secretary,
a possible error as to the correct COM
missioner-in-chief. who is required to
sign 1t. will not make the auditor liable
for assuming or paying the warrant
The material requisite is that the
voucher be acted upon by the board,
and the signature OF the officers is on
ly evidence that this has been done.
The attorney general also says that
Commissioner-in-Ch Wilson is the
proper person 10 sign vouchers, and
that their payment is protected by the
action OF the board, of which a quorum
Is three.
The contention that the members OF
the board were appointed by the Leg
islature is deemed a fallacy. as in the
act calling for the Increase OF the board
from three to five members it'was or
dered that the governor should appoint
the new members, so showing that the
Legislature meant that the appointing
power should be in the hands of the
governor. The opinion also cites arti
cles of the constitution which permit
the governor to remove any person ap-
pointed by him for misconduct. NAL
feasancs or incompetency in office.
Unless Van f. Rouse gives up the
$4,000 belonging to the fund. which
he has in his possession. within the
next few days suit will be commenced
to recover it. Rouse has said that he
does not want to hinder the board in
the performance Of its duty. but that
he has been advised by his attorneys
not to give up the money until the mat
ter is settled in the courts.
