Denver, Dec. <~sfzovsrnor Peabody to- day issued proclamation declaring Grip pie Creek under martial law and sus- pending the writ of habeas corpus.
 He declares that the gold camp is in c state of insurrection and rebellion and that the civil authorities are poweriess.
 After mentioning acts of lawlessness said to have been committed In Cripple Creek. the proclamation concludes as fol- lows: @ fe
 'whereas, have reason to believe that similar outrages may occur at any time and believing the civil authorities of said county of Teller are utterly unable. un- willing and are making no special ate tempt to preserve order and to protect life and property.
 ''Now. therefore. I. James H. Peabody, Governor of the State of Colorado, by virtue of the authority in mo vested, do hereby proclaim and declare the said county of Teller. in the State of Colo rado, to be in a state of insurrection and rebellion"
 Similar to cosurd 'Alene.
 Governor Peabody bases his action on the decision of the Idaho Supreme Court which declared that the act of the Gov ernor of Idaho In putting into force, to a limited extent, martial law in the Occur d'AIene, was in thorough harmony with the constitution of that State. The con- stitutional provision relating to the sus- pension of the writ of habeas corpus in this State is similar to that of the Idaho constitution.

sustained that contention. a verdict of murder in the first degree should be re- turned.
 The attorneys for the State announced that they were fully satisfied with the charge. The defendants attorneys sub mitted several written addendum to the charge for examination by the Judge. to be delivered if he saw fit.
 The jury went into their room to de- liberate over the verdict. When they had been out for. an hour and twenty min- utes knock on the door announced that the fate of Ralph Armstrong had been sealed.
 When the verdict had been read. the death sentence passed, and the jury dis charged, the most sensational trial in the history of Macon County had ended.

EXCITEMENT IN ENGLAND.
American Cotton Makes a Rapid Ad-

vance.
 London, Dec. 1.-The rise in cotton caused intense excitement in Manchester and Liverpool today.
 American cotton advanced 2S to A points over yesterdays closing prices.
 It is said locally that if the official crop estimate of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture made public yester- | day is correct, it means a terrible calam- ity for Lancashire.
 On the receipt in Liverpool of the New York market prices eased somewhat on the general pressure. January and Feb ruary touched 657 and May and June G. 50 amid some excitement. which continued through the afternoon. Although rallying little, the close was irregular and un- settled.
 The cotton trade in London is divided in opinion, one section contending that the demand for cotton goods. because of tho falling off of orders from India and China, is not likely to be exceptionally great during the coming year, and that ten million bales as estimated by the American Agricultural Department has been sufficient to meet all requirements.
 One of the largest firms of cotton spin ners at Bradford announce that they are preparing to erect mills in the United States to which they will transfer hum dreds of looms with their complement of combing, drawing and spinning machine ry, the dismounting of which has already commenced. In making the announce ment the firm says:
 'The American manufacturers recently have made such vast improvements in he manufacture and dyeing of the finest classes of goods, similar to those we pro- duce on which they are paying 100 per cent and upwards in duty. that we are confident our present American depart ment will never be able to pay its way more than three or four years more at the most"

MAcEDoN1A's TROUBLES.
International Administration May
 Be Arranged For.

Be Arranged For.
 London, Dec. 4-Negotiations begun to- day by the Powers may result in an ln- ternational administration for Macedonia along the lines observed in the present government of the island of Crete.
 The Associated Press learns that, in order to prevent another Macedonian up- rising in the spring. attended by unspeak- able horrors, and the danger of war be- tween Turkey and Bulgaria, as a conse- quence, Russia and Austria have proposed to the other powers that immediate steps be taken to put into operation q plan, which in general outline, resembles that now enforced in Crete.
 This proposal is the result of the &C., ceptance in principle by the Sultan three days ago of the Russo-Austrian note con corning reforms in Macedonia submitted after the recent conference between csar Nicholas and Emperor Francis Joseph. :. To what extent. each power will apartlci- pate in the organization of an interna- tional gendarn1erfe to be formed fof the preservation of order and which power will be placed in supreme command of the gendarmes 'as well as other details must be settled by the negotiations between the Powers. This proposal of the two powers dissipates the apprehension which prevailed in diplomatic circles on the continent that Russia and Austria are arranging a settlement of the Macedonian question in a way to insure only their own interest.
 According to the information obtained by the Associated Press the Powers will unite in demanding the appointment of a Christian governor of Macedonia. While 1t is intended that the Christians shall be protected, there is a determination that equal protection shall be accorded the Mussulmans.
 It Is believed that results identical with those obtained in Crete will be had witE a similar policy in Macedonia.
 At first a large force was sent to Crete, but at present there are not more than 1900 men there, representing the governments of Great Britain, France, Russia and Italy. !

NO TESTIMONY oFFEAAD.
Counsel for McGregor and Uptoi
 Submit Their Cases.


 Baltimore. Dec. 4-Pinning confidence in their belief that the prosecution has fail ed to make a prima facle case against former Postal Clerks Thomas W. McGre- gor and Columbus E. Upton, counsel for the defense in the trial for alleged con- spiracy to defraud the Government by selling leather pourches at exorbitant prices. decided to close the case without putting a single witness on the stand to testify for their clients.
 When United States Attorney John C. Rose announced that the Government close it's case, 1t was generally thought that witnesses for the defense would be called immediately. William 8. Bryan, of counse for the accused, sprung a de- cided surprise when he arose and said: We do not think the Government has made out prime facie case, and, there fore, we will offer no witnesses.
 MT. Bryan then announced that pravers will be prepGTed tomorrow and exchanged between counsel. Arguments of the prav- CTS will be offered Monday. Court win not git on the case tomorrow. General argument on the entire case will be made after prayers are argued.

Did You Lose Twenty?

Some citizen of Missouri Val
Icy is today, unwittingly, de
fraying the expenses Of hobo
jollification in Omaha. Yester-
day afternoon hobo of the old
school went down to the North
western passenger station car
rying under his arm a package
in which was wrapped an old
hat and a pair of shoes, all Of
which had outlived their use
fulness, many weeks ago. When
he attempted to put on the
shoes he found something
crowded into the toe of one of
the shoes and to the astonish-
ment of the bystanders he drew
forth a small wad Of waste in
which was wrapped a $40 bill.
He stated he did not know from
whom he got the shoes, but said
it was from a house in the west
end of the city. He soon caught
a passenger train for Omaha
and is probably the most popu-
lar hobo in the whole city of
Omaha today.

Dancing Party.

To convince themselves as
we'll as to show conceited mas
culine humanity that men are
not an absolute necessity in the
pleasure of the modern self
sufficiency, about forty maids
and young matrons went to the
old opera house according to
previous arrangement, about
half past eight o'clock last
evening and had a gay time
dancing withoutone single man
in sight. Shirt waists and short
skirts figured conspicuously in
the "ball costumes" of the fair
dancers and ragtime was the
order Of music, Mrs. Charles
Deur and Miss Gamble playing
for the gay company. For
about two hours the young
ladies had a merry time, and
then there was a perfect inva-
sion. The enemy had found
his way into the camp and it is
said but small resistance was
offered to the masculine party
which poured in upon thescene.
However that may be, it is very
certain that in an incredibly
short time "every laddie had a
lassie and the dance went on
with renewed vigor and in the
midst of much mcrriment.
After the dance was over the
young ladies were taken by
their escorts to Douglas Cafe,
where light refreshments were
served, and on the way home
the girls decided that while
men were not a necessity to
their happiness, they were
quite a convenient affair to
have on hand when lunch time
came and when the streets
We're dark and lonely.
