mates made yesterday by Co-Receiver
Malone of the defunct Fidelity Savings
Association that organization will pay
approximately siXty-one to siXty-tive
per cent. on the claims of the deposit

upon it by the appraisers who yester-
day presented their report to Judge
Malone of the District Court Accord

s375,0 1t may bring more, say the
appraisers. The appraisers, Armour
c. Anderson, Charles T. Austin and
c. w. Badgley, state that the land is
worth about S. an acre taking it all in
all. That price is believed to be the
price that the land would bring on
quick sale.

Will Reject Mediation.

London, Aug. 2S.-It is stated posi-
lively, in connection with the revival
OF the rumors of mediation, that En-
peror Nicholas only recently an
Junced in the most positive terms
that he would not permit peace negoti-
atoms even should Port Arthur fal!
and General Kuropatkn be driven
back to Hardin.
This fact, well understood in official
circles, has prevented the British gov
eminent from taking any steps in the
direction of mediation. Ii is known
here that Germany understands this
attitude of the Emperor as well as
Great Britain and other powers. There
fore the reports from Paris that En-
peror William is prepared to suggest
peace is dismissed as groundless, for
the present at least
If General kuropatkin. however,
should win a decisive victory at Lao
Yang, which in measure would re
store Russian prestige. it is believed
here that the restoration of peace
would be materially facilitated.

GOVERNORS LETTER.
7 els Sheriff Bell That He Can and
Should Protect Citizens.

Denver, Aug. Ex-Governor Peabody
has written a letter to Sheriff Edward
Bell of Teller county in regard to the
recent action of the mob in driving out
a number of citizens supposed to sym
pathize with the Western Federation
of Miners. The letter is as follows:
state of Colorado, Executive Chamber
Denver, Aug. 81, 1904.
Hon. Edward Bell, Sheriff of Teller
County, Cripple Creek, Colorado.
''Sir-Upon Saturday, the 21st inst.
there was assembled in Teller county
a disorderly mob of men. This mob
destroyed private property and NAL
treated and drove from the county a
number of citizens and other persons.
Teller county has been a source OF
much anxiety to my administration.
Order has been restored there at great
expense to the state, and the militia,
after a protracted service renderd with
the single purpose of making life and
property secure, had only recently been
withdrawn.
Your county had been freed, as l
hoped, from criminal disturbers of the
peace; the civil Offices of your county
are now filled, as am informed, by in
cumbents who desire to extend to all
citizens the full protection of the law.
| recalled the troops because l believed
and was informed that your COM
munity was once more safe in the
hands of such officers. If am right in
SO believing, there should be no oc-
casion for lawless outbursts such as
that of Saturday last.
Il am recently informed that a SINH
lar mob Of men have in contemplation
another and still further outrage. | am
convinced that you as sheriff, hav-
ing the full sympathy and sup
port of the civil authorities. can and
should maintain peace and lawful Or
der. l, therefore, desire to say that
should you not be able, with the means
at your disposal, to successfully cope
with the situation and maintain law
and order in Teller county, l am ready
to again place at your disposal the mi
litia of this state
Our paramount duty at this and at
all times is to uphold the law and it's
law and its safeguards without distinc-
ton of interests or of individuals.
Il will thank you for an early reply,
and am, respectfully yours,
JAMES H. PEABODY,
Governor"

Philippine TRADE.
imports From the United States Are
on the Increase.

Washington. Aug. 30.-According to
a statement given out at the bureau of
insular affairs, the Philippine import
trade advanced nearly 100000 In
value during the nine months ended
March last, and a slight falling off is
shown in the exports as a result of de.
creased shipments in sugar, although
hops and tobacco are exported in
larger amounts than for the cores
ponding three fourths of the previous
year.
Excluding gold and silver the United
States government purchases the Gus
toms house returns gave the total
value of merchandise imported for the
nine months ended March, 1904, at
s25,927024, and the exports at 1922
256, 169, seven per cent. increase in
imports and two per cent decrease
in exports.
The rice-growing sections of the
British and French East Indies have
enjoyed most of the increase in trade,
the latter territory sending three
fourths Of the s10,000,0O0 worth of rice
received.
Except for those countries from
which rice is obtained the statement
says that for the first tine since
American occupation the United
States leads in the amount of merchan-
disc sent to the islands, and that the
outgoing trade with the principal coun-
tries shows decline in the value OF
shipments to the United States, more
than 100000 of the loss being credited
to sugar exports and 100000 to hemp
The figures on the carrying trade
show an increase in volume of bust
ness done under the American flag,
the amount carried being s1.535 ,270,
wnie $2225,2S5 of the exports left the
islands under the American flag. Brit
ish vessels took $1S,172,S19.
The sugar trade declined from ST.
479,011 to $1,S27,074. the entire out
put being sent to Japan, Hong Kong
and China, no portion being exported
to the United States.
Americans made more than one-half
the total arrivals, the larger portion
being classed as professional men.

HILL TO RETIRE
EX-SENATOR TIRES OF POLITICS.
Will Aid in Coming Campaign, But
Would Not Accept a Cabi-
net Position.

Albany. n. Y, Aug. 29.-David B.
Hill, in conversation with friends here
yesterday, announced that he intends
to retire from politics January LIST,
next, and that no matter how the cam
paign resulted he would retire.
He added that in the event of Demo
cratic success this fall he would not
accept any position under the Demo
cratic national or state administra-
tons or again become a candidate for
election to any Office whatever.
Former Senator Hill made these
statements on the eve OF his birthday
anniversary, which comes to-day. He
was born August 20. 1S43.
In partial explanation he said that
he had intended to take such action a
year ago, but was persuaded by some
close personal friends to defer doing
so until after the presidential election
this year.
Having been engaged in active poll
tice since his youth and having served
as city attorney, alderman and mayor
of Elmira member of the Legislature,
lieutenant governor, governor for sew
en- years, and United States senator
for six years, he feels that he has
been sufficiently honored by his party
and that he has rendered political serv-
ice, during period of years sufficient
to 'entitle him to be relieved of further
active political effort.
He desires to devote more time to
his personal affairs and professional
duties.
Mr.. Hill will continue his work in
the present political campaign and
to his friends said that he would al
ways maintain his interest in Demo-
cratic success, but only as private
citizen.
Mr.. Hill will speak foY the Democra-
cy at the county fair to be held at
Whitney's Point, in this state, on
Wednesday next, to be followed by
Senator Depew the next day for the
Republicans.

An Educational Center

Our Washington CORE spondent says
A vigorous movement has been begun
here. having for Its object the estao-
lishment of National University in
Washington. The sentimental reason
urged is that George Washington sug-
gested it. The Columbian University
has recently changed its name to The
George Washington University, and it
has bought a large tract of ground
south Of the White House and on the
large park extending from the White
House to the Capitol Washington is
fast becoming great educational
center, and it doubtless has many
advantages for broad education. The
Medical Museum, the Congressional
Library. the Art Galleries, the Smith
sonian Institute, the Carnegie Uniyer-
sity. the Catholic University, the
Georgetown University, and Howard
University are only the most promi-
nent and best established institutions.
There are fully score Of others for
young men and young women, boys
and girls: the students Of all have easy
access to the great Government insti-
tutions mentioned. Many persons real
ize the advantages possessed by the
Capitol city in an educational way.
Each year witnesses marked deve-
lopement and widening scope of the
larger institutions and the many pri.
vate schools that have attained high
rank are now receiving pupils not only
from all parts of the United States but
also from foreign countries.
