Principal Characters Well Sustained.

The fredericksburg Va.) Daily Star
OF Nov. 18th said of the Simvelle Compa-
ny production OF Romeo and Juliet:
"A large audience witnessed the per
formance of Romeo and Juliet at the
opera house Friday night. The acting
was decidedly above the average. and
the managers are to be congratulated for
bringing plays of such a nature to our
city. The scenic effects were good and
the principal characters well sustained,
particularly those of Romeo. Juliet and
the nurse. The famous balcony scene was
admirably done, and the scene in Friar
Lawrence cell was especially strong.
The dramatic personnel of Romeo and
Juliet continued to the end of the play
to give pleasing and picturesque rep
ressntation of Shakespeare undying
story of love. passion and death"

RAILROADS SEEK
TOURIST TRAVEL

Denver, Oct. 1.-THE recent meeting
of the western passenger agents at st.
Louis resulted in the appointment of a
committee consisting of the passenger
agents of the Denver & Rio Grande, the
Rock Island and the Burlington, for
the purpose of formulating plan to
induce worlds fair patrons to make
western tours. This plan, after 1t is
formed, will be submitted to the West
ern Passenger Association at Chicago.
The committee will include in its
plan a comparative statement of the
increase in Colorado tourist business.
showing it is growing every year and
Is now an important factor in railway
earnings Notwithstanding the floods
early in the spring the tickets sold to
Colorado this year exceed those sold
last year by 5000. Even more reassur-
ing, however. is the steady growth of
the tourist business. Each year makes
better showing than the year before.
The question OF the effect of the
worlds fair on western business is one
about which eastern and western rail-
road men do not agree. The eastern
passenger agents point out that very
few of the patrons of the Chicago
worlds fair went farther west. Their
lued lS lidi large pIopOItlOu III Tie
people will find the worlds fair so ex-
pensive they cannot afford to go far
ther.
The western passenger agents, how
ever. call attention to the fact that very
little advertising of western resorts
was done at Chicago, whereas at st.
Louis there will be up-to-date booths
where the delights of u vacation in the
mountains will be fully set forth. AL
SO during the worlds fair the Colorado
tourist business had not been created.
1t is expected. too. that many more
European persons OF wealth will visit
the st. Louis fair than went to the
Chicago fair. and nearly all of them
will want to see the Rockies before
they recross the Aatlantic. The western
passenger agents expect that the tour
jst travel to Colorado next year will be
greater than that of the last summer,
and are making preparations accord
ingly.

MORE THAN TWO
MILES A MINUTE

Berlin. Oct. IAN electric car on
the Marienfelde-Zossen experimental
line reached speed of 125 As miles
per hour yesterday. or a kilometer
more than the highest previous record.
The machinery and the road bed were
unimpaired. The current was between
1900 and $4,000 volts. capable of driv-
ing the car at the rate of over 200
miles an hour.
The lives of all on board the expert
mental car were heavily insured.
A large party Of engineers. military
men and civilians gathered at Dalwitz.
where the highest points of speed are
reached in the experiments. A French
observer remarked that the new SEN
sation of the power of velocity inspired
by the cal flight was worth travelling
from Paris to see.
There were twelve to fourteen per-
sons on the car. all technical men.
They affirm that the motion of the car
was no greater than that OF an ordi-
nary express train.
A curious phenomenon accompany
ing the test is the continuous sparkling
of electricity from the six trolley arms.
While the engineers do not believe a
speed OF 125 miles is practicable at
present on the state roads. they are
prepared to recommend speed of
ninety-three miles an hour between
Berlin and Hamburg.

Denver, Oct. THE Republican this
morning says:
Governor Peabody, after hearing
charges for two days from officers CT
the Colorado National Guard, yestey-
day ordered court martial to try GER
tain officers of the Guard who have
been charged with grave offenses. The
court martial will convene in Denver at
the earliest possible time, according to
the statement of the governor, and
will investigate the conduct of large
number of officers of the Guard. This
court will consider charges which have
been filed against Brigadier General
Chase, Adjutant General Sherman Bell,
Major Arthur H. Williams, Colonel
Frederick Gross and Colonel Frank
Kimball. All of this has grown out of
the recall of General Chase from the
active command of the troops in Grip
pie Creek for a conference with the
governor All of these officers are
said to he concerned in the trouble
which caused that act Other officers
are said to be involved.
The declaration that Governor Pea
body had summoned the court martial

did not return to Cripple Creek as had
been agreed on Monday. In fact. all
the previous plans of the officers in the
Guard were changed and the entire in

CHAMBERLAIN SAYS ENGLAND

that the same people who indicted the

for struggle so serious that IL we are

Adducing statistics, Mr.. Chamberlain
contrasted the moderate increase of
seven and one-half per cent. in the ex-
port trade of Great Britain and the in
crease of thirty per cent. in her popu-
lation since 1872. with the enormous
increases of trade in the United States
and Germany, and he asked how the
country could expect to support its
growing population with it's trade prac-
tically stagnant for thirty years. He
proceeded:
"On the other hand, the protected
countries, which you have been told,
and l myself one time believed, were
going rapidly to wreck and ruin. have
progressed infinitely better in proper
tion than ourselves. and. instead Of,
as Golden believed, our remaining the
workshop of the world, we are
sending less and less of our manufac-
lures abroad, while the protected coun-
tries are sending more and more of
their manufactures here"

Warning Alarms Bulgaria.

Glasgow, Oct. 7.-Whatever may be

question which Mr.. Chamberlain has
raised, or the probable issue of his cam

has opened it in mastery manner. 1t

Mr.. Chamberlain alluded to the re-
cent visit he made to Venice, when he
found the Campanile, which had stood
for centuries and which, when he pre-
viously visited Venice, seemed as per-
manent as the city itself, now mass
of ruins. He continued:

GENERALS BELL AND CHASE
MUST FACE A COURT MARTIAL

the present The court martial will
convene in Denver as socn as possible,
but l have not yet determined on the
personnel of that court"
This was all that Governor Peabody
would make public yesterday before he
left for Fort Collins. That he is thor
oughly wrought up over the whole af-
fair is evident, and he proposes to see
that every one in the Guard who has
been responsible for the alleged whole
sale grating" shall be punished to
the full extent of the law.
A military man in position to
know something of the inner workings
of the Guard stated yesterday that the
scandal which is now brewing in the
Guard will be the worst that the state
has ever seen. Charges have been filed
by the Chase faction and by the anti
Chase faction and they are all of a SER
ious nature 1t is known that the
charges recite that certain officers of
the Guard ever since the troops have
been sent into the district have been
making good "rake-offs'' The court
martial which was ordered yesterday
by the governor has had the effect of
frightening all of those who have in
the past been the least disposed to talk
and for that reason the details of the
alleged grating are hard to obtain.
The charges have been filed by both
sides. The Chase faction has filed them
against Colonel Gross and Kimball and
the colonels have filed them against
General Chase and Major Williams,
and the charges are all based on the
incident in the camp when the pay
roll and books of the Guard were de-
manded by General Chase and refused
by the colonies. 1t is understood that
General Chase, through other officers,
will file charges of lack of care in the
keeping of the books of the Guard,
though he has not alleged in any of the
charges that the work has been dishon-
est. The charges filed by the colonies
are said to be against General Chase
for conduct unbecoming an officer and
acting beyond the scope of his,author-
ity.

Second Suit Against Rouse.

Another suit was filed Septem-
Der 29th in the District Court
at Denver against Van e. Rouse,
former treasurer of the State
Worlds Fair Board, asking him
for $221.s9. representing the sum al
legged to have been in the possession
Of the defendant at the time of his
removal and the appointment of Harry
Casady to succeed him. The suit was
filed by Attorney General N. c. Miller
for Harry Casady.
The complaint sets forth that on Aug
ust 5, 1901, the governor appointed
the board to display at the fair the
wealth of Colorado and at that time
appointed Rouse as treasurer. On
May 6, 1902, it is stated that Rouse
gave $4,000 bond with the American
Bonding and Trust Company of Balti-
more as security, and later, on August
B, 1903, Rouse was put out OF Office by
the governor and Harry Casady ap-
pointed in his place.
1t is claimed that at that time Rouse
had $221.S9 on hand in cash which he
refused to give over to his successor.
and the suit asks judgment for that
amount with interest at the rate of
eight per cent per annum from August
10, 1903.
A few weeks ago the former suit
was filed in the district court against
Rouse asking judgment for more than
$4,000. 1t was claimed that he had
taken this amount out of the general
fund to use for the construction of
buildings. This sum had been sepa-
rated from the other funds in order to
keep it from reverting to the general
fund according to law, If not used with
in a year from the date of appropria-
ton.
Rouse claims that the governor had
no right to remove him from the Office
of treasurer and on this ground re-
fuses to turn over the money. The
board on the other hand claims that
the governor mad a perfect right to
remove him and that further, even II
he did not have the right, the board
itself had the right to remove Rouse
as treasurer. At the time Rouse was
removed, George w. Thatcher was also
removed as president of the board.
and Paul Wilson appointed in his
place.
