IMPRESSIVE SCENES AT ROME
DURING CARDINALS CONCLAVE

Rome. August 2.-The scene at St.
Peters tonight was by far the most
impressive that has occurred in Rome
since the late pope became i'll. After
the fruitless morning ballot belief
spread that new pontiff would surely
be elected this evening. All roads dur
ing the afternoon, therefore, led to the
vatican. Carriages and vehicles of
every description ratified into the pi-
azza Of st. Peters. The regular Sun
day leisure was forgotten in the anx-
iety to see the new holy see. The
streets converging into st. Peters pi-
aZza were black with the thousands
who entered the square with the cease
less regularity of an incoming tide
From the barracks came large rein
forcements of troops who marched
across the piazza and lined up at the
foot Of the steps of the basilica. leaving

KING EDWARDS
IRISH ADDRESS

Cowes. Isle of Wight. August 4.-The
royal yacht Victoria and Albert
reached here Sunday evening and King
Edward Immediately ordered the issue
of the following address:
To My Irish People, desire on
leaving Ireland to express to my Irish
people how deeply have been touched
by the kindness and good will they
have shown TO the queen and myself
Our experience on previous visits had
indeed prepared us for a traditional
welcome of warm-hearted race, but
our expectations have been exceeded
wherever We have gone in town or
country. tokens of love and affection
proffered by every section OF the COM
munlty have made an enduring i'm
preston on our hearts. For a country
so attEactive and a people so gifted
We cherish the warmest regard and it
Is therefore with supreme satisfaction
that | have so often during our stay
heard the hope expressed that
brighter day is dawning upon Ireland.
Il shall eagerly await the fuliillment
Of this hope. Its realization will. un-
der divine providence, depend largely
upon the steady development OF self
reliance and cooperation. upon better
and more practical education, upon the
growth of industrial and commercial
enterprise, and on that increase OF mu-
tual liberation and respect which the
responsibility my Irish people now en-
joy in the public administration Of
their local affairs, is we'll fitted to
teach. 1T is my earnest hope and
prayer that these and other means OF
national we'll being may multiply from
year TO year in Ireland. and that the
blessings of peace, coutentment and
prosperity may be abundantly vouch-
safed TO her.
tSigned1 EDWARD + AND l.
Copies of the address will be posted
throughout Ireland.

DENVER CHARTER
is COMPLETED

Denver, August AT five minutes
before midnight last night the pro-
posed charter for Greater Denver.
signed and attested, was given to the
clerk of city and county, and the Ques-
ton of it's adoption is now before the
voters.
Amendments to the document were
completed at o'clock in the afternoon
and the rest Of the time was taken in
having it printed. revised and bound.
and the race with time was so close
And exciting at periods that 1t might
have been prearranged as a dramatic
close to the proceedings of delibera-
tive body strangely free from excite
ment.
The charter is remarkable in several
ways; it is the only one for munich
pality that was ever left to the direct
vote of the people to determine its ac-
ceptance or rejection without interfer-
ence of state Legislature.
1t makes provision for the appoint
ment of a sheriff by the mayor and
places that Office under civil service
rules.
The convention that prepared it had
three women members on perfect
equality with the men and they left
their impress on the document in a
manner most characteristic of woman
kind-humane provisions for the care
of the unfortunate and distressed.
In brief, the charter gives almost un-
limited authority to the mayor in the
conduct of city and county affairs, and
contains names for two boards OF i'm
portance-an electoral and civil SER
vice commission within itself.
The long tension, since December !,
1902. with city and county under pro-
visional government since the procla-
nation of Article 20, will do great
deal to cause the adoption OF the pro-
posed charter and end the uncertainty.

Close Of the Royal Visit.

Queenstown. Aug. 2-The King and
Queen returned TO Queenstown yester-
day. where they received further ad-
dresses. The King then made his
farewell reply, saying the people could
rest assured that he had the interest
of Ireland at heart, which remark
ELECTED vociferous cheering and much
waving of flags and hats. The royal
visit to Ireland was thus brought TO a
successful close.
The King and Queen are both en-
chanted with the tour, which is admit
ted on all hands has achieved more to-
ward the settlement of the existing
Irish grievances than legislation could
hope to achieve. When their majesties
re-embarked on the royal yacht for
Cowes, the strains of Come Back to
Erin" mingled with the salute Of
guns.

PROHIBITION VERY
STRONG IN TEXAS

Austin, Tex. August 4.-Prohibition
has secured a most remarkable grip
upon the state of Texas, and the cam
paisn has been carried on so quietly
that the liquor interests TOOK no alarm
until it was too late. The Lone Star
State offers the peculiar anomaly of a
prohibition state that is Democratic al
the same time. Already $50 counties
are absolutely dry, fifty where the sale
of liquor is limited to the cities and
the remainder are threatened With cap
ture by the prohihitionists.
Preliminary canvass of the vote Sat
urday in Governor Lanham's home
county shows that 1t has gone over
whelmingly prohibitionist. There are
243 organized counties in the state.
and twenty-four unorganized counties,
the latter being attached to organized
counties for judicial purposes only.
The counties that are entirely wet"
number only eleven. and TO these can
be added those with some wet and
some dry" precincts TO the number of
fifty-tive. These counties contain all
the large cities of the state. places
which always vote against prohibit
ton law.
Thus in a nutshell is presented the
results of untiring work upon the part
of the prohibitionists in Texas. cover
ing period Of five years of active
work They have been unrelenting
in their warfare. and loudly proclaim
that they will not cease their efforts
until the entire state has gone prohibi-
ton.
Some years ago the prohibitionists
forced state election and lost the
battle by big majority This cured
them of presenting the issue as a state
one. They rested a few years and then
began the quiet work Of carrying pre-
cinct elections. This plan was car
rte! out without attracting any special
attention. and before ii was known
quite a number of precincts as well
as counties in the state had been car
ried for prohibition.

Yuma No Longer a Gretna Green

This town has lost a big revenue which has been regular and perma- nent thing now for about four years. The calamity will fall the hardest upon the justice of the peace and probate judge, and both are threatening to re- sign-and all because the California legislature hrs just repealed or amend cd the divorce law of that state which has been the means of sending hund- reds of divorces to Yuma to get mar ried. The old law prohibited divorced people from marrying in the state within year. The law as amended provides that no decree of divorce shall be issued for one year from time of judgment. Of course when the decree is granted at the end of the year the divorced parties may marry again as soon as they like and where they like, But they don't have to come to Arizona any more to be spliced-hence Justice Thurlow's grief,-Yuma Sentinel.

 The ranchers west ot the range are happy over an inch of rain which fell there last week. Here we have plenty y of water and all we have to do to raise a crop is to prepare the ground and turn in the water and watch it (the crop) grow.

 c. O. Downing, of Spokane, Wash. , was in the valley the most of last week looking for a chance to locate. In an interview with us he said that he had been in frontier countries every since he was boy but that he never saw a country that offered better induce ments to a homeseeker than did this valley. He said that the apparent fer tility of the soil, the permanency of the water supply, and ease with which it can be applied to the land make it all ideal place for man to invest his money and not feel but what he is running a risk of the water giving out and losing his investment. He pre- diets that the advent of pass .nger ser service on the railroad will bring a tremendous influx of homeseekers into our town. He also said that all the Washington people he had seen whom had been in the valley spoke in most glowing terms of its prospects and that was partially what induced him to come and investigate for him self. He says that he found every thing just as he had been told and if anything a little better.

New Law for City Improvements.

House bill No. 158, for general mu-
nicipal Improvements. is one of the
important measures pending in the
legislature. 1t affects all cities in the
state under so, 900 inhabitants. 1t re-
peals the Artman law passed at the
last session and re-enacts parts of the
old Barrett law.
1t provides for all improvements
street and alley pavement, sewers
sidewalks. and that city councils ant
town boards may by resolution OF ne
cessity order the Improvements.
1t provides that two-thirds of the
property owners residing on a street
proposed to be improved and repre-
senting two-thlrds of the lneal feet
OF abuttlng property demonstrating
shall prevent the improvement.
1t enacts definite plan for the
construction of sidewalks: define.
property to be assessed including city
and school property and street railwa!
franchises. 1t now seems probable thai
this bill will become law, and if il
does all future street Improvements il
Plymouth will be subject to its pro
visions.

FLAMES IN AN ARSENAL
COST TO UNCLE SAM $4,000, 900


Davenport, Ia, Feb. 12.-Shop "a"
the principal issue storehouse at Rock
Island arsenal, was destroyed last
night by fire, together with its con-
tents. The latter included cavalry and
infantry equipments Of every de-
scription, and millions of rounds of
Krag-Jorgensen smokeless ammunition
The contents were worth 81, 500, 600;
the building was massive structure,
three stories in height, erected twenty
years ago at q cost of 100000.
When the flames got beyond con-
troll of the arsenal firemen an appeal
was sent to Des Moines, Davenport,
Rock Island and Moline for help to ex-
tinguish the flames. The response was
prompt and the fire was fought hard
until conditions became dangerous to
life on account of the large amount of
ammunition in the burning building.
The latter was then left to its fate,
attention being devoted to saving the
rest of the plant, which was done.
The Rock Island Arsenal is the larg-
est in the United States, comprising
ten great buildings and covering thir-
ty acres of ground. 1t represents an
expenditure of $12,O00,O0O.

The People With Roosevelt.

The South Bend Times, the lead
ing democratic paper of Northern In
diana believes that the people will
sustain President Roosevelt. The
Time says:
1t has been apparent for some time
that the sole hope Of any kind of anti
trust legislation being passed by the
present congress rested in the un-
tagging determination of President
Roosevelt to press such action. Had
he been less aggressive. less persistent.
nothing whatever would have been
done. The trust magnates understand
full well that the people are with
Roosevelt in his efforts to curb organ
lied greed. They dare not provoke an
open fight, for they know it would be
losing one. They may, in privacy,
damn and curse Roosevelt, but they
dare not bring their case before the
great tribunal-the people. Senators
who have been doing the bidding of
Of trusts may gnash their teeth and
quietly say mean things about the
president, but they dare not avow
themselves champions of the combines
that are seeking monopoly of the
industrial interests of this country,
