Ample evidence of the narrow mar

metal in the bearings, cylinder heads

that the machinery was underpropor'

Denver, Sept. 21-F. H. Newell,

ESTIMATES OF
DAMAGE BY FROST

Denver, Sept 21.-The Republicans S
correspondent at Rocky Ford tele-
graphs that the part of the cantaloupe
crop still on the vines is almost total
loss. Over one-half of the orders for
crates have been cancelled The seed
buyers loss, while very heavy, will
not be SO great as that of the shippers,
for some of the melons that will not
do to ship, are still good for seed, but
as many cantaloupes are small and
green and in others the seed has ger
minated, the loss will be very heavy
with these dealers also
La Junta correspondent says that
while the frost did much damage the
first reports were overestimated. All
the vines were frozen and this retard-
ed the ripening of the cantaloupes
that are not matured. The !oss from
this source is placed now at from 80
to SO per cent Garden stuff was
ruined and the fruit injured slightly.
A Greeley dispatch says that con-
servative estimate of the damage done
to the potato crop by the heavy freeze
of the first part of the week is that
between $500 and 5000 carloads have
been ruined. This amounts to be-
tween 25 and 80 per cent, or from
S to 20 sacks to the acre. The districts
that suffered heaviest are those visit

PRICE OF SILVER
TAKES A JUMP

Washington. D. c., Sept 22.-There
was another substantial advance IN the
price of silver bullion yesterday and
the small margin between the face val
ue of the Filipino peso and its bullion
value was still further reduced
Offers were received at the mint bu-
reau yesterday of 325 ounces of silver
bullion for Philippine coinage, for deiiv-
cry at the San Francisco mint, at So. 50
cents per ounce.
The price was so high that after con-
sultation between officials of the Treas
ury Department and the bureau of in
sular affairs in the War Depart ment,
all offers were rejected.
The London quotation for silver bull
lion to-day was 27.25 pence per ounce.
At yesterdays rate of exchange. this
was equivalent to 500 cents.
AS the bullion value of the Filipino
peso will be equal to its face value if
silver advances to 64.1 cents per ounce.
the present difference between the bu!-
lion value as represented by yester-
days London quotation, is but 1 A cents
per ounce.
AS the price of silver has already ad-
vanCed over 10 cents since the pur~
chases for the Philippine coinage were
commenced, there is considerable anx-
iety lest further advance of half that
much may make it profitable to export
pesos from the islands and sell them as
bullion.

Denver, Sept. 21.-A News special
from Victor last night says: What
came near to being riot in the streets
of Victor was narrowly averted this af-
ternoon by the cool-headedness of Cen
eral Chase in handling his troopers.
Fifteen strikebreakers were taken to
the Gem restaurant, on Fourth street,
for dinner. In few minutes more than
, 1000 people had gathered in front of
the place. Threats were made against
the men, and the large crowd was surg
ing toward the doors of the restaurant
when 100 cavalrymen arrived, under
command of General Chase. A few in
{antrymen were already acting as
tempting to clear the streets when Cen
eral chase arrived on the scene. The
soldiers were ordered to clear the
street. No one was hurt. but the SOL
diers were roundly abused.
1t is definitely learned tonight that
, whatever the action taken by the Dis
trict Court tomorrow, in regard to the
snabeas corpus proceedings, the men
who are now prisoners at Camp Gold
