Emmons, president. and twelve charter
members, including Doctors Whitman
Cross and Richard Pearce. Senator N.
p. Hill, j. B. Grant, p. II. van Diest
and Herman Beeger.
The society has numbered among its
members all the chemists. metallur-
gists and engineers who have been
foremost in the development of the
states mineral resources. 1t is reason
able to say that. aside from the coun-
try's great railroad promoters, no 9TH
er body of men have been so active and
influential In securing to the state Its
advanced position. as compared with
neighboring states in all that per-
tains to mining.
Among Its presidents have been s..
f. Emmons, Richard Pearce, w. f.
Millebrand (now of Washington. d..
C), Pieter II. van Diest. r. c. Hills. Dr..
w. +. Headden. Prof Geo. l.. Cannon.
Prof. C. S. Palmer and Prof. Regis
Chauvenet.
Among its prominent and energetic
members have been II. van F. Furman.

Rickard. Rhilip Argall. Prof. Arthur
Lakes, John A. Porter, r. A, f. Pen
rose. E. G. stoiber. A. A. Blow, Judge
Moses Hallett and Gen. w. ]. Palmer.
Its growth for several years has
been very great and it now numbers
170 members, of whom 143 reside in
the state and twenty-seven in other
states. Great Britain, Mexico. Chill,

The society's library is the most COM
plete in chemistry. mineralogy and
geology of any in the state, and thanks
to the generosity of Gen. w. ]. Pal
mer in recently binding its exchanges,
is i'll excellent condition.
The neurological and geological
collection has been lately much en-
riched by gifts and loans, and In the
spacious quarters afforded by the So
ciety's new rooms in the Chamber OF
Commerce building will be OF great
utility. These rooms are open TO the
public between 10 and IL a. m. and
1870 and 5 p. m. daily, and those de-
string membership will be cordially re-
ceived by the secretary.
The society proposes to reduce the
annual subscription of members living
in the mining camps of the state to
$500 annually, and will welcome new
members who have the opportunity of
closely observing the mineralogy and
geology of lodes. And the results OF
such close study may be put before the
scientific world by papers at the So
ciety's monthly meetings.
This society is closely in touch with
the whole world of science, as its ex-
change list numbers over one hundred
kindred societies distributed over Eu-
rope. Asia. Africa, Australia and

JAPAN AND RUSSIA
ON VERGE OF WAR

London. Oct 12-The correspondent of
the Morning Post at Chez Foo, tele-
graphing under date of October 10th.
says:
"It is stated that the japanese have
decided to declare hostilities to-mor-
row on the expiration of their ultima
tum to Russia. The Russian fleet has
cleared from Port Arthur. 1t Is re-
ported that-the Japanese announce the
landing of troops at Masanpho, Korea
"There are strong Indications that
Germany favors hostilities on the
ground that it would enable her to ex-
tend her sphere of influence in China.
"A number of field guns were en-
barked at Port Arthur yesterday for
an unknown destination. All the avail
able force of workmen is employed on
the fortifications.
THE cholera and the plague have
broken out among the Russians at New
Chwang"
Another dispatch to the Morning
Post from Chez Foo, dated October IL.
$3.50 p. m. says:
THE situation is unchanged. All is
quiet at Port Arthur. Hostilities are
still believed to be imminent 1t is as
serted that the Russians have fixed
Friday next for their commencement.
There is an exodus of Chinese mer-
chants from the Yalu valley. They are
arriving at Chez Foo"
The correspondent of the Mail at
Shanghai telegraphs.:
Careful inquiries show that the only
japanese troops at Masanpho are on
the small territory conceded to Japan
in connection with railway building
and their presence is therefore In ac-
cordance with treaty rights"

State Medical Society.

The Colorado State Medical Society
at the meeting which has just closed in

recently inaugurated by the American

more liberal code than the old ethical
system which prevented regular prac-
titioners from holding consultation

paths. eclectic physicians and other
men learned in science but not con-
formant to the rules of the American
Medical Association. The new code
was unanimously adopted by the coun-
Gil of the state society, which met pre-
vious to the opening of the convention.
Immediately after convening the action
of the council was ratified.
The society was reorganized from an
independent body to one forming a
component part of the American Medi-
cal Association. This was done in con-
formity with the actions of other state
societies.

Various state institutions are about
to start proceedings against State Aud

maintenance funds in the second class.
so that they will have a better chance
of being paid. Among the leaders in
this movement are the State School of

State liquor licenses are being rap-

is about the general average for the

state officials. The license for the

over the state will be required to pay
