NEws-TIMEs BOYCOTT.
Papers Brave the Withdrawal of Ad-
vertising Patronage.

Denver, June 1S.-The News this
morning says: THE first of the large
mercantile concerns to definitely an
nounce the pre-arranged boycott
against the News-Times to their man
agement was the Daniels & Fisher
Stores Company. Yesterday morning
it sent in its ad copy for the Sunday
issue. II consisted of ten squares. the
minimum amount 1t could send in un-
der the yearly contract existing be
tween the News-Times and the com
pany. Daniels & Fisher usually take
a page ad in the News on Sunday. Ten
squares is about one-twenty-second OF
its usual space. The copy was deliv-
cred with a very definite announce
ment that the course of the News was
not agreeable to that firm, and for that
reason the space had been reduced. II
is fair to presume that were 1t not for
the contract between the papers and
Daniels & Fisher no copy at all would
have been sent"
In his reply Mr.. r. c. Campbell, gen
eral manager of the News-Times COM
pany, said:
Gentlemen herewith return copy
for your advertisement in the Sunday
News. said copy being of the minimum
size permitted under your contract. IL
was sent to this once with lnloIHHdtoh
to the effect that its size was a warn
ihg to the News and the Times that
they must change their attitude toward
the present unfortunate troubles in Col
orado. In other words. that the News
and the Times were hereafter to be boy
cotted by your establishment.
Under the circumstances | feel that
you would prefer to be relieved alto
gether of the obligations of your con-
tract. Therefore. give you the option
of either canceling it or simply holding
it in suspense so long as you desire.
The penalty for non-observance of this
contract by your company will not be
cxacted by us.
Naturally in the face of such a
struggle, where the independence and
freedom of the press of Colorado is the
issue. the News and the Times cannot
and will not retreat from the position
they have assumed. They will calmly
and dispassionately submit to the peo-
pie of the state the real meaning of the
issue involved and the part that both
sides. are taking in it,
The News further says: Several
other merchants-who have heretofore
been the best. and best served patrons
OF the News and the Times, have given
notice that their usual Sunday page ad
will be cut down to the ten-square di-
mension."

Panama Currency.

Washington, June 20.-The commits
sion charged with the preparation OF a
currency system for Panama has
reached an agreement which estab-
fishes a coin equivalent in fneness and
weight to the dollar of the United
States as the standard and which also
makes the United States dollar legal
tender in Panama.
Under the terms of the agreement
the Panama government will recon or
convert the Colombian silver into
coins of the size of silver dollar. The
amount of this silver in Panama is
now estimated at $1.500.000.
At the request of Secretary Taft 1t

yer until total of S6.000.000 is
reached. In order to retain a parity
with gold there will be deposited in
some reputable bank in New Work fif-
teen per cent. of the amount coined.
and in addition there will be deposited
all the seigniorage which Panama will
make in the coinage to meet the
American governments requirements.
The agreement provides for joint
arrangement between the government
of Panama and the canal commission
under which, by selling drafts and by
drawing on the funds, exchange can
be kept down to a reasonable figure.

Bandits Demands Increased.

Washington. June 1S.-In a cable
gram yesterday to the State Depart
ment. Consul Gummere at Tangier in
dicated that the bandit Raisuli. owing
if the bandit chief means to carry out
ficials. had exaggerated his demands
to a point where they have become ri
diculous.
1t is quite certain that this govern
ment will not comply with any of the
demands that relate to itself. and can
not consistently require the Sultan to
do as Raisuli asks. 1t is admitted that
if the bondit chief means to carry out
his threats, the captives. Perdicaris
and Varley. are in great peril. Even
their lives. however, are not regarded
as a sufficient stake to warrant this
government in establishing the danger
Gus precedent that would follow the
granting of the demands of Raisuli, for
with the strong temptation thus of
fered to the lawless tribesmen of Mo
rocco. no foreigners there would be
safe against kidnapping.
All that can now be done is to
await the outcome of the present ne
gotiations, hoping that Raisuli will
abate his demands and make sure tina:
he learns through the Moorish govern
ment that his own life will be demand
ed by this government if he executes
his captives.

vest of dead from the steamer Gener-

ing the total number Of bodies SO far
recovered up to 632. OF these $50

the other thirteen were found. Most
of these came up from the bottom and
>foated into shore. They were discov-

watch all night.
While the list of missing has been
cut down somewhat by the identified
tions made yesterday, eleven new

SEVEN HUNDRED
LOST ON THE GENERAL sLocuM
Some Estimates Are as High as Ono
Thousand.-Five Hundred and
Thirty-six Bodies Recovered.v
over Three Hundred Identified.

New York, June 17.-With unceasing
effort. search is going on for the bodies
Of those who perished Wednesday on
the General Slocum.
What the list of victims will total
scarce any one dares venture guess,
but whatever the number may be. there
is hardly a parallel in the history OF
disasters where death came to SO many
in so brief period of time.
Police and Health Department ON
ciafs have placed the number at fig-
ure as high as 900 and more, but to-
Eight 1t would seem that the maximum
fatalities will not largely exceed 700.
All day long, from sunrise until dark
ness shut off even the melancholy sat
isfaction of watching for the dead, anx-
ious searchers kept up their vigilance,
and at dusk there had been recovered
$50 bodies for the greater part women
and children; mothers who weeks ago
had planned that fatal outing for their
children. little ones who had longed Tor
the happy day.
Tn to dusk 499 bodies had passed
through the morgue, and of these more
than 800 were identified.
The East Side had its human sympa-
thies aroused to the fullest extent. and
down by the river where the boats un-
loaded their dead, thousands gathered
throughout the day.
Streets leading to the morgue were
blocked and only with difficulty could
the police keep clear the passages lead
ing to the long rows of collins for those
, who came to search for the missing

A DENVER DEPOT
TO BE BUILT BY MoEFAr ROAD
Track Laid on Burlington Right Of
Way.-Seems to Indicate an ALL
ance Between the Two Lines.

Denver, June 2O.-The News this
morning says: By a strategic coup.
quietly planned and swiftly carried out,
the Moffat road yesterday laid Its own
track into the heart of the city to FIJI
teenth and Delgany streets over va
cant Burlington right of way, and work
on a temporary $1,000 depot will begin
this week. The track was built over
vacant right of way owned by the Bur-
lington along Delgany from Seven
teenth to Fifteenth street. running
through the Burlington yards just
north of the Union depot yards.
The well-planned move is the final
open evidence of the alliance between
the Moffat road and the Burlington,
and its significance is said to be tre-
mendous as touching future railroad
interests and alignments In this state.
1t is taken to mean, beyond all
doubt, that the Burlington and Monat
roads have entered into permanent
alliance and will join in erecting new
depot on Fifteenth street. on the old
water works property, entirely remov-
ing their lines from connection with
the Union depot. Then when the rout-
ing of the transcontinental business
over these two lines begins. the sea-to-
sea traffic over these lines will pass
through this new depot.
The plans for a new depot Will be an
nounced early this week and work Will
begin at once. When the regular
schedule of trains on the Moffat line
goes into effect next Thursday the
trains will be run from Fifteenth and
Delgany streets and the trolley ser
vice from the North Side over Fiji
teenth street will at once be put into
more active use.
General Manager A. C. Ridgeway last
night confirmed the news that the Mof-
fat road had refused the offer of the
Union Depot Company and would come
into the heart of the city over Its own
tracks, to its own depot.
I'VE built this piece of track to-day"
he said. 1T is over a vacant piece OF
ground owned as right-of-way by the
Burlington road and extends along Del
gany street to Fifteenth street. 1t is
all Burlington property. We have 1t
completed. Plans will be announced
later in the week for new depot.
We will have an excellent car service
to the city. having all the Fifteenth
street service from the North Side. We
will come in over the Burlington tracks
from Utah Junction"
