moters of a Colorado cement plant
which is to be located at Pueblo, and
which will be the largest in the United
States OF present plans are carried
out.
An expert from New York was sent
out some time ago to make an ex-
animation of the material for manufac-
turing cement. His report was so
fiatterIng that It caused considerable
comment in the East and government
officials heard OF II.
f. c. Eccles. government expert,
was sent out here to collect material
for a government report on the faclli-
ties for cement manufacturing in Colo

definite statement prior to submitting
his data to the government. II is known

been made OF the lavish material In
Colorado.
The new plant at Pueblo will make
only Portland cement All the finan-
cial matters are said to be arranged.
and It is expected work will begin on
the plant very soon.

Mitchell for the Cabinet.

Pittsburg. Pa, Nov. 9.-The Dis
patch publishes a story TO the effect
that John Mitchell will not be candi-
date for reelection as president of the
United Mine Workers Union at the
January convention. This statement
was made by a close personal friend of
Mr. Mitchell during short lay-over
here of the miners president and other
officials of the organization, who are
on their way to Boston to attend the
convention of the American Federation
of Labor.
The announcement from this appar-
emily authentic source is raised above
mere rumor.
The same gentleman said that Mr..
Mitchell, assuming that President
Roosevelt would be reelected. decided
to lay aside the miners office to become
member OF the Presidents Cabinet,
succeeding George B. Cortelyou as sec
retary of the Department of Commerce
and Labor. Secretary Cortelyou, 1t is
said. has decided not again to be the

The Ministerial Alliance of Salt Lake

MAY SOON TREAT
WITH PANAMA

Washington, November S.-Yester-
days advices to the State Department
indicated a regular development of the
new government of Panama
The most important announcement
indicative of speedy establishment of
full diplomatic relations with the new
republic was the appointment of Phil
ippe Bunau-Varilla as the agent of
Panama in the United States.
With him the United States govern
ment win transact any necessary busi-
ness in an unofficial way pending the
appointment of regular ministers plen-
ipotentiary. He is in Washington.
Reports have reached Paris that Co
lombia Is sending a large army over
land to capture Panama and Colon.
The State Department has decided
that so far as 1t is concerned 1t regards
the treaties that govern Colombia. or
as to New Granada, as still in force.
and that therefore all of the conces-
sions, including that of the Panama
Canal Company. are valid and in force.
The State Department also has de-
cided that owing to the fact that the
Spooner canal act in terms required the
United States government, before be-
ginning the canal. to conclude treaty
with Colombia, the spirit OF the act
will be met by the conclusion OF an ar
rangement with the new state OF Pan
anna on the lines of the Spooner act
end It will proceed to this end.

Denver. Nov. Although the State
Board of Pardons placed itself on rec
ord yesterday afternoon as being unan-
imously in favor OF capital punishment.
the death sentence OF Harvey King,
convicted of numbering his wife at Col
orado Springs. was commuted TO HE
Imprisonment at hard labor.
King wanted to die and refused to
ask clemency at the hands of the
board. but his attorneys and his son,
Buddy" King. Il prize fighter, asked
for reprieve or communication on the
ground that the law proclniming cap
ital punishment for murder In the state
was passed illegally.
The contention was that the bill was
not read the third time In the House,
and hence it was claimed that the law
was invalid. Assistant Attorney Cen
eral Hersey furnished Governor Pea
body with an opinion upon the subject
yesterday morning. Governor Peabody
states that the attorney generals Office
is of the opinion that the law is valid,
but that as the attorneys for King

preme Court. the time limit for al

general strobe out OF the lobby OF the
Brown and hurried to the capitol
building.
Not until afternoon did any one re-
alize what double-edged decision
Governor Peobody had given. He ap-
proved the sentence of the court and
found General Chase guilty. Then he
turned around and lin view of the dis
tinguished services heretofore rendered
the state of Colorado by Brig. Cen
John Chase the sentence is RENTED
and General Chase is restored to duty"
IL do not think General Chase will
go back to Cripple Creek" Governor
Peabody said later in the day in reply
to n question. "As n matter of fact.
there is only squad of soldiers there
now. hardly $50. and he would have
nothing TO do. But. OF course. II the

The Republican states that at a sub

GERMAN EMPEROR
is OPERATED ON

Berlin, Nov S.-Emperor William
yesterday underwent an operation for
the removal of a polypus from his lar
ynx. The operation was performed by
Professor Morris Schmidt and was en-
tirely successful. The only inconveni-
ence suffered by his majesty is that
he has been enjoined not to speak until
the wound caused by the operation
should be healed. The bulletins an
nouncing the result of the operation
caused much excitement, even among
court officials, who had no suspicion
that his majesty was suffering from
any affection of the throat.
The emperor himself appears not to
have known of the growth in his lar
ynx until a few days ago. and to have
suffered no discomfort from It.
The following is an authorized ac-
count of the operation as given to the
North German Gazette:
His majesty to-day underwent an
operation for the removal of a polypus
from his larynx. The operation was
performed by Professor Moritz Schmidt
and was most successful. His majesty
is only enjoined not to speak until the
wound caused by the operation is
healed"
Grave fears are entertained outside
the castle. 1t is recalled that Emperor
Frederick William I'LL, father of EN-
peror William II. the present monarch,
was taken i'll with precisely the same
ailment-or at least 1t was SO dag
nosed. Within few months after, he
died of cancer. and the surgeons who
had operated on him precisely as 9TH
ers have now done on Emperor VIII
liam were bitterly denounced for hav-
ing mistaken the disease and given the
wrong treatment.

SENTENCE AGAINST GEN. CHASE
is RENTED BY GOV. PEABODY

Denver. Nov. s.-Governor Peabody
yesterday approved the findings of the
court martial which tried Brigadier
General John Chase OF the National
Guard of Colorado and found him
guilty of disobedience of orders: but
IN the same order the governor makes
the verdict and sentence of that body
of no effect by remitting the sentence
and restoring General Chase to his
command without SO much as a re-
primand. except so far as his approval
OF the finding of the court that the
general disobeyed orders may be SO
construed.
The finding of Governor Peabody
closes with the following paragraph:
In view of the distinguished services
heretofore rendered the state OF Colo
rado by Brig. Gen. John Chase, the
sentence is remitted and General Chase
Is restored to duty"

COAL MINERS STRIKE In BOTH
NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN FIELDS

Denver. Nov. 9.-The News sums up
the strike situation this morning as
follows:
With the exception of few inde-
pendent mines there will be a general
strike in the northern coal fields this
morning. This was the almost unani-
nous decision OF the miners of the
northern district on the referendum
vote on the schedule submitted by the
operators. The miners of the Northern
Coal and Cox, Company will quit work
to n man. q few of the Independent
operators have promised to give their
men eight hours. These mines will
continue in operation.

mont county will stop work. The
Rockvale mine has decided to shut
down. At Trinidad the strike may be
of greater magnitude than was expect
ed by the operators. 1t seems doubtful
IL enough men can be secured in the
district to work the mines at Primero
to-day. AT Gray Creek all but one
have quit. At Starkville every man is
out.
Governor Peabody has ordered the
state troops to hold themselves in read
fness to respond to a call at any mo-
ment.
General Sherman Bell. upon his re-
turn to Denver last evening. said that
orders had been issued to the militia

WIFE MURDERER
TOLD HE CAN LIVE

Denver. Nov. IA Republican spe-
cial from Canon City last night says:
The first intimation given to Warden
Cleghorn of the communication OF Har-
yey Kings sentence was conveyed by
the Republican correspondent at l
O'Clock this afternoon. The warden at
once telephoned to Governor Peabody
but did not receive the official notih-
cation of the commutation until near
ly 4 o'clock.
Immediately upon the receipt OF the
telegram giving the official announce
ment, the warden proceeded Mt once
to the execution house and propounded
this question to King: We'll, King,
are you ready to meet your sentence?
King answered: Yes, sir, | guess

stating that the board OF pardons has

Within fifteen minutes after the
news was given to King he had been
taken from the condemned cell. attired
in convict suit and placed in cell house

Warden Cleghorn said tonight ne
never in all his experience mas seen
such an exhibition of nerve as that
shown by King.
His two sons visited him to-day and
during the two minutes they were IN

Boulder Oil Outlook.

Fred M. Moran, superintendent Of the
Ohio Oil Company. which is owned
by the Standard, was at the Albany
hotel yesterday and left last night for
Florence. Colorado. to inspect some oil
property owned by his company, says
the Denver Republican OF October 30
Mr.. Moran spent yesterday in Boulder
and spoke of the oil condition there. He
stated that the outlook was very poor
and that there were no wells being
drilled at present.
Operations in Boulder have practi-
cally ceased" he said, "and it is not
likely that they ever will be renewed.
Most of the men who came there during
the excitement have left. The Oil Well
Supply Company, which started a
branch at Boulder, has gone out Of
business. and such move on their part
is almost sure indication that the fu-
ture oil prospect is hopeless. The Oil
Well Supply Company has branches To-
Gated in nearly every town OF import
ance in the East where oil is found. As
soon as discovery is made they i'm
mediately move in. and through them
the majority of the drilling machinery
and other supplies is furnished
throughout the United States.
They are usually the last ones to
leave place. For time the Indiana
Glycerine Company had two men To-
Gated at Boulder who were engaged in
the manufacture of nitro-glycerine.
They also have gone back. so IL any
more wells were drilled in the Boulder
field the production could not be deter
mined before the men who handle this
explosive are brought from the East
and put in a shot"

formed. and will rely upon their judg-
ment concerning the calling out of
troops. He has told them he is reluc-
tant to order the militia to Trinidad,
but will do so If overt acts are com
mitted.
The coal operators will keep the
mines going wherever possible, and
claim that at least ten per cent. of
their employees will stand by them.
about twenty-five per cent of the
force, 1t is claimed. have agreed to
work under protection. The southern
operators have engaged about $50
guards and are hiring others as fast
as they can find men. Most of the
guards employed are cowboys who are
glad to earn IS a day.
General Bell said last evening It
would be possible to mobilize 600
guardsmen within an hours notice II
necessity required it. the number of
the guard could be increased to 1000
within week. He had petition from
Rocky Ford citizens who are anxious
to become militiamen.
Only about 250 guardsmen are in
Cripple Greek at present.
Word was received last night by the
operators in Denver that the miners
in the coal fields In the northern part
OF the state also had voted to lay down
their tools. The conference held here
between the operators and representa-
tives of the miners failed of any re-
suits.
