BEAUTIES OF COLORADO.
Representatives of Official and Social
Life Listen to Novel Lecture.

notable company embracing represent
+.ti,,es of official life, the diplomatic corps
and the army and navy and others promi-
rent gathered at the New Willard last
evening at the invitation of Mr. Thomas f.
Walsh to listen to the Joint lecture OF Mr..
and Mrs Gilbert McClurg on the resources,
natural beauties and other attractions OF
the state of Colorado. The lecture was pro-
fusely illustrated with lantern slides OIL eX-
IRENE beauty, and the whole discourse prov
ed one of the most enjoyable and Instructive
that has been given here. Mr. Walsh had
issued invitations for a thousand guests,
the majority of which We're accepted.
President Roosevelt sent his regrets at be-
ing unable to be present on account or the
pressure of affairs. f.
The lecture of Mr.. and Mrs. Gilbert Nc
Clurs is both novel and notable. Their en-
thusasm and their themes are compliment
tary. the tale of ancient Colorado making
the foil for her bright present and aspiring
future. The lecture opened with the reclta-
ton of her sonnet. Colorado, by Mrs.
McClurg in which each line furnishes
picture of Colorado life, illustrated by
stereOpticon views.
Colorado being thus defined in bold and
striking outline Mrs McClurg tells the
story of the pre-Columbian Colorado. the
history of her peaceful Pueblo farmers who
were driven by the Indian tribes to the
clefts of the canon, where they built the
Cliff Palace" Watch Towers" and other
monuments which make up the glory of
Colorado's past, the plateau of the south
west being the only spot in the world where
the phase, which is scientifically termed
middle barbarism,' may be studied today
in its entirety.
From this life story. which antedates his
tory save a few "cuentas' of the Spanish
conquerors, Mr.. McClurg takes up the tale
and speaks of Lieut.. Pixies discovery in 1906
of the great summit which bears his name
and of the first white mans first Thanks
giving dinner in the Rockies. This serves
as an introduction to the Indians whom
the white man met-Ouray, his wife. Chi
peta and others. At each point Mr.. McClurg
artfuily contrasted the past with the pres
ent.
Mr.. McClurg next announced to his au-
dienee that Colorado has seven ages of in
dustrial life, namely-gold live stock sill
YER, railroads. agriculture. manufactures,
and that the circle had now swung round
a second time to gold. Under these seven
divisions Mr.. McClurg gave a graphic pic
ture of Colorado as she is marshaling her
cities under the division of development
which they represented and so was the
attention drawn from irrigated meadows to
silver mines: from the intricate Georgetown
Loop Tor railway coup de force) to gold
bricks: that varied interest tagged not for
a moment, supplemented as it was by hui
morous stories and a faint flavor of Spanish
legend.
At the conclusion of the lecture Mr.. Walsh
entertained a few friends at supper.

Mr.. CONCERTS ADVICES
MARTIAL LAW HAS BEEN DE-
CLARED AT NIUcHwANG.
State Department Will Let Matters
Run Along for While
Without Action.

Minister Conger has cabled the State De-
partment from Picking that the Russian au-
thorities have declared martial law at
Nuichwang and have formally notified all
foreigners.
Mr. Conger's message made no reference
to the reported hauling down Of foreign
flags by the Russians. The officials here
assume that If that has been done 1t sim
ply means that Russia has assumed the re-
sponsibility for the protection of foreign
property belonging to the belligerents. and
they feel quite sure that no effort would be
made to interfere with the consular flags.
Nor does Mr.. Conger refer to the reported
notice from the Russian authorities at
Niuehwang to the consuls that they may
no longer exercise consular jurisdiction and
consular functions, especially extra-terri-
torial jurisdiction
1t is said that If any such action has been
taken 1t would raise very serious ques-
ton, for the consuls exercise their power
in this treaty port under treaty stipulation
with sovereign power which Is not party
to the war; 1t is not recalled moreover,
that 1t has been customary in time of war
Tor belligerent to undertake to deprive
cOnsuls of their functions. so the inclina-
ton in official circles here is to discredit the
story.
No Immediate Action.
However. the State Department is de-
termined to move with the utmost circum-
spection and elaboration in taking any ac-
ton or lodging any protest which might
convey the impression that the United
States was injecting itself into the present
struggle without the most pressing neces-
sity. In fact, it is stated that it is the
intention to let matters run along for
while in order to let actual experience de-
termine whether American interests really
suffer from any of the acts taken by the
.beligerents in Manchuria as a result of
these various notices and proclamations.
Part of this policy Is to refrain from push
ing to their posts Messrs. Cheshire and
Davidson. the American consuls at Mukden
and Antung, respectively. Mukden is an
armored camp and Antung is in the very
vortex of the war and it is realized here
that it might be embarrassing to the belilg-
erents to have foreign consuls newly located
there, especially as their coming could not
be defended on he ground of trade neces-
sity, for there is no trade at present be-
tween these towns and the United States.
Secretary Hays callers this morning In
cluded Count Cassini, the Russian ambas-
sador; Mr.. Takahira. the Japanese minister,
and Sir Chentung LANG Cheng, the Chinese
minister, but they all came separately and
it is said they were all seeking news.
The Chinese minister notified Secretary
Hay that Prince Pulen, the imperial Chin
csc minister to the worlds fair, would sail
tomorrow from his post from Yokohama
He has been the guest of the Japanese en-
peror for some time.
