COL LORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY
Denver Grand Jury Discharged.

Judge Booth Malone. of the District
Court at Denver, on the 18th instant,
vacated the order for the grand jury
which was summoned to investigate
the alleged charter election and regis
tration frauds. The motion for the re-
moval of the sheriff and coroner, and
the appointment of elisors to summon
a new grand jury, made by the attor-
neys of the Honest Election League,
was first denied, after which the judge
announced his decision discharging
the grand Jurors.
In his decision Judge Malone ad-
dressed the panel present as follows ::
But, gentlemen. the court desires
to say word to- those of you who
have been summoned to appear here
as grand Jurors.
THE court wishes to express his
high regard for you, collectively and
individually. Some of you the court
has known personally and somewhat
intimately for several years, and the
court now takes pleasure in saying
that it believes the general personnel
Of this jury will rank as high in man.
hood, standing and character as that
of any jury called within this state,
within the knowledge of this court.
And yet, gentlemen. the court feels
compelled, in justice to you and the
court, to say that no unbiased friend
of the court or of the jury, and no
true lover of Justice who is familiar
with the situation and condition of
things as they now appear before the
court and jury, can honestly believe
that any real benefits or practical re-
suits will or likely can be secured to
the public at this time under the ex-
listing conditions.
"The court believes that were you
to attempt to enter upon the duties
of grand jury at this time you would
be compelled to act without the ap-
part of the general public and of the
very parties who have invoked the
power of the court to have grand
jury called.
THE court believes that no matter
what you might do or how you might
do, your actions and even your mo-
tives will be misjudged and miscon-
strued.
you would enter upon your du.
ties, discredited and handicapped by
the actions and the attitude of the
very parties to whom you would nat
urally have the right to look for en-
couragement and assistance.
Il do not believe. therefore. that
you ought to be compelled to strug-
gle with the disadvantages and sub
nit to the unjust aspersions and crit
icisms that are bound to follow you
under the circumstances, for none of
which circumstances you are in any
wise to blame.
"The order heretofore made by the
court, upon the 18th day of September,
directing the sheriff to summon a
grand jury, will be and the same
hereby is vacated and rescinded."

New York, Oct. 1S.-John Alexan-
Restorer, faced his first New York au-
dience to-day, and, although Madison
Square Garden was thronged at the
afternoon and evening meetings, and
thousands We're turned away from the
doors, he found himself confronted
with what he called new experience
when thousands, having evidently sat
istied their curiosity. threw the meet
ings into confusion by their sudden ex-
odus before the ceremonies had fairly
begun.
Commands to close the doors and
prevent exist were unavailing. and the
prophet gave vent to displays of much
petulence on finding that 1t was one
thing to gather a great New York au-
dience. but quite another thing to COM
mand its interest after the first de-
mands of curiosity had been satisfied.
The house-to-house visitation by the
hosts Of crusade meetings will be in
augurated tomorrow.
Five thousand persons were turned
away from Madison Square Garden this
afternoon, after all the seats in the
building had been filled with a great
crowd, curious to see John Alexander
Dowie on his first appearance before a
New York audience. Fully 14.000 per-
sons were in the Garden at half-past 2
O'Clock when the services began with
the professional hymn which the Zion
white-robed choir. to the number of
about 600. and the capped and gowned
ordained officers of the Christian Cath
olic Church in Zion took part.
The service of prayer opened with
the invocation by DR.. Dowie. followed
by the singing OF hymn. during which
the crowd continued to pour into the
Garden. This was followed by the re-

which hundreds OF persons started TO
leave the hall, causing much confusion.
The exodus continued In spite or re-
peated- orders to close the doors, un-
til nearly third of the audience mad
departed. many of the vacant seats be-
ing filed with the waiting crowd out

restored. DR.. Dowie said:
"If this is New York and this is

came in must have thought that this
was a Buffalo Bill show | wonder il
the congregations of the churches here
enter and leave as they please. ! reck-
on we have learned something and Will
be prepared hereafter"
DR.. Dowie took his text from the
third chapter of the Book OF ReVela-
tions, the twentieth verse:
Behold, I stand at the door and
knock. If any man hear my voice and
open the door. will come into him and
will sup with him and he with me-.
With his arms above his head, in a
shrill voice that reached the farthest
parts of the Garden. he cried:
"Oh. 1t Is good TO Know tnat Hou
has not ceased to knock at the human
heart; to knock at the doors of homes:
to knock at the doors of workshops; at
the doors of places of business, the
doors of business institutions; al the
doors, of the municipalities; at the
doors of halls of legislation; at the
doors of princes and of presidents and
of kings laundering at the door OF
the world is the King of Kings. And
in his name | stand before you to-day
and say: Open that door and let the
spirit of God in.'"'

CONTINUED BOOM
IN SILVER r1ARkET

Washington Oct 1S.-Another slice
was taken off the rapidly narrowing
margin between the bullion value of
the Philippine pesos and their face
value yesterday by an advance in the
price of silver bullion in London to
2SA pence per ounce. equivalent, at to-
days rate of exchange to 62.23 cents.
AS the bullion value of the new Phil
ippine pesos and their face value would
be identical with silver bullion selling
at GAL cents per ounce, the margin OF
difference, which was about Is cents
per ounce when purchases for the Phil
ippine coinage were commenced last
March, has now dwindled to 1877 cents.
The continued advance in the price
of silver, Notwithstanding the with
drawal of the Philippine government
from the bullion market, indicates that
purchases made for the new coinage
were not the most important factor in
bringing about the upward movement
of the market.
1t has gone up almost daily since, in
spite of predictions that it would de-
cline and consequently there is increas-
ed apprehension lest the advance
should continue to such level as to
make it profitable to export the new
coins from the Philippines.
Their expectation will not be profit
able with silver at just GIL cents per
| ounce. The price must go somewhat
, above this level to make it worth while
for bullion dealers to ship coins to mar
ket in Asiatic ports.
There is much difference of opinion
as to how. high silver can go without
starting an outflow of the new coins
from the islands, but the Chinese mer-
chants at Manila can be depended upon
to begin their expectation as soon as
they can see chance to make even a
small margin of profit over the expense
of shipping them.

1t won't object but it will be a pity

a great American, as were long ana

and he was one of the first SO selected
for the Hall of Fame on Morningside
Heights. When the cruel test of Civil
War came. Robert e. Lee went with
his people and his state rather than
with the Union. but neither his sim
certify nor his courage nor his nobility
of soul was ever questioned. Not a
few historians have held that he was
the greatest general on either side In
that struggle. His greatness was en-
phasized by his attitude when the war
was over. Virginia may well be proud
of his memory.
