University Trade School.

Denver. March 14.-Chancellor w.
II. Buchtel of the University of Den
yer is out with letter advocating the
establishment of trade school in. Den
yer in connection with the University.
He says:
Another ten acres OF campus Will
be devoted to the Preparatory School
and the Trade School. provided any
public interest is manifested in the es-
tablishment and maintenance of
trade school in Denver. We could be-
gin that work at once and could lbe
ready to receive students into an ade-
quately equipped trade school by Sep
tember next, provided the people OF
Denver really cared to have 1t. 1t is
infinitely more expensive for the state
to kill a boy than 1t is to save him to
a lne of usefulness and honor; and II
we persist in killing boys by neglect
and Indifference, the heart OF the ma
ton will collapse by fatty degenera-
tion.
IF the people of Denver are really
wishing to do something practical for
boys the Denver University will at
once take up this work"

According to a Tien Tsin correspond

withdrawing all their superfluous
troops from Port Arthur to Harbin and

visions and because it is doubtful
whether or not they would be able to
hold either Port Arthur of New

The spirit of the Russian troops who
are largely recruits, has been broken
by starvation, cold and harsh treat
ment from their officers The Russian

reach a total of 1000 men.
The Standard this morning pub
fishes an article in which the writer
points the defenseless condition of the
Amur river. Russia never profited from
the experiences of the Boxer outbreak.
he says, and she has no forts or gun
boats on the river. 1t is probabale that
when the ice disappears the Japanese

London, March 13.-No less than ITO
members of the House of Commons put
themselves on record last week as will
ing to turn over Balfour rather than
sacrifice their adherence to Mr.. Cham
berlains out and out protectionist
principles.
AS a result Mr. Balfour has foregone
his personal policy of retaliation and
retains office only by the support nf
those members of Parliament who
openly uphold preferential and protec-
tive duties. This section of the Unionist
PARTY. though strong enough to decide
the fate of the ministry, is not strong
enough to effect anything as an indi-
vidual unit.
The complications within the Union
ist party came during the week to an
almost Gilbertian climax. Even the
Saturday Review, which supports Mr..
Balfour's policy, holds that he lost
more than he gained by his compara-
lively narrow majority of 46.
The Cabinet itself. so recently con-
structed. has been on the verge of a
serious split. During the week Austin

DENVER. BOULDER LINE.
An Electric Road Planned Between the

Denver. March ia Boulder special
to the Republican yesterday says:
Henry " Johnson. former mayor OF
Denver; Charles f. Porter. also of
Denver. and John II. Simpson of
Cleveland were before the county COM
missioners to-day and asked for the
right to build an electric car line along
the wagon road from Boulder via
Louisville to the county line beyond
Broomfleld.
They asked for a franchise in the
names of L. l.. Aitken. John II. Simp-
son and Charles F. Potter. The CON
sent of about nine-tenths of the prop
erty holders along the proposed route
las been secured. and the promoters
feel that if the county commissioners
will consent all of the farmers VIII
join in.
Many of the farmers along the pro-
pCsed route were present at the meet
!, ing and asked the commissioners to
grant the franchise. In fact, the farm-
ers seemed more anxious than the pro-
noters. County Commissioner Andrew
moved that the franchise be granted.
hut Commissioners Gordon and Heri-
vel wanted until the first Monday in
April to consider the matter, and 1t
went over until that day
The promoters intend, II tney Bel
this franchise, to run an electric car
line along the county roads, along one
side of the roads so as not to interfere
with the middle of the road. and to
avoid using any farm land. This will
save them much money for right OF
way.
The road is to be built via Louisville
to Denver At Louisville. near the coal
mines. an immense power plant is to
lo erected This will give them coal
cheap.
Connection is to be made in Boulder
with the street car system at Twelfth
street on University hill, and with the
Denver Tramway company somewhere
near the Jesuit College.
A few Denver capitalists are inter
,ested. but the main capital is to be
furnished by Cleveland, Ohio. men. The
promoters claim they are in no way

.rections with the company's lines in

How the Russians Talk.

Paris, March 13.-A St Petersburg
has had a conversation with an aide
de camp who is to accompany General
Kuropatkin to the far East. This of
ficer said that the generals headquar-
at Lao Yang. but he did not reveal
the movements of the Russian troops.
He said that the Associated Press
would have every facility to telegraph
news. The first edict of General Ku-
ropatkin would be to recall the Rus
sian troops from Korea. He expects
the Russian Baltic squadron to join
the Pacific fleet by the end of July,
and expects to use this combined fleet
during the month of August.
The correspondent quotes General
Kuropatkin as follows:
81 know am impetuous, but shall
not sacrifice the life of single man
uselessly. We shall operate on
masses. In order to teach the Japan
ese a lesson, we shall walk through
their islands after crushing them in
Manchuria and Korea. If l have a
voice in the matter. the treaty of peace
will be signed in Toxic. and not else

suggest that Korea remain under its
''puppet of an emperor" but that Rus

CULTURE OF THE OYSTER.

ly New Jersey deserves praise for the
innovation.
Professor julius Nelson. biologist for
the State Bureau of Shell Fisheries.
which has only been in existence a
few months. has worked out a method
OF producing and propagating oyster
germs or seeds. and the process seems
to be quite simple as well as very in
teresting.
After preparing sufficient quanti-
ty of spermatized water. few min
utes suffice to complete the fertiliza-
,tion The water is then drawn on
and put into clear water. the opera
tion being repeated several times. The
zone occupied by the eggs is soon seen
and in about an hour. at temperature
of eighty degrees, the development of
the eggs begins.
In a few hours the eggs have SO de-
veloped that they show positive signs
OF life. and then they are let into n
tank, covered with sand. and exposed
to every high tide. Thus. step by step.
through processes known to hsh hatch
ers. a young oyster bed Is formed,
which may be extended Indefinitely.

could use for extensive planting. and

raise oysters artificially instead OF
trusts. he Will have done the world
a great service.-Boston Globe.

dred Miles Still Lacking.

+ Washington. March 14.-Charles NJ.
Pepper, appointed by President Roose-
welt as commissioner to carry out the
of the second interna-
it.onal American conference held in
Mexico two years ago with regard TO
the Pan-American railway. has sub
United his report to the State Depart
ment, by which it will be transmitted
Ito Congress. The second conference
loreated a permanent commission with
HEADQUARTERS at Washington. of which
Il. d. Davis is chairman and Andrew
Carnegie a member The other mem
bers are the ambassador from Mexico
}and the ministers of Peru and Guate-
mala.
Commissioner Pepper spent year in
visiting various countries and was aid
cd in his work by the United States
ministers His inquiries covered the
general subject of trade opportunities
that would result from railroad build
ling.
4 The report says that the general pro-
ject of an inter-continental line which
ultimately will place New York and
Buenos Ayres in communication is re-
iceiving much encouragement Al the
present time about 800 miles are lack
iinI and the estimated cost OF
construction is placed at $780,
100000. This is based on an
average of so cents gold as daily
wage for labor. with an efficiency of
seventy-five per cent. as compared with
similar labor in the United States.
In reviewing in detail the republics
visited. Commissioner Pepper discusses
the great progress in Mexico and the
actual railway work that is still going
ON. Only 172 miles are lacking to
reach the border of Guatemala. Refer
ence also is made to the inter-commerce
line from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pa
cific and 1t is stated that within two
years two through trunk line systems
will have been completed. President
Diaz is praised for the results which
have been had from his railway policy.
Regarding the Central American re-
publics, the commissioner says that
most of them have national policies for
building lines to bring their Atlantic
and Pacific ports into communication
and these as feeders for the Pan-Amer-
lean route He states that the demand
tor supplies which will result from the
Panama canal construction Will en-
courage railroad enterprises through
Central America, and he suggests the
probability of further facilities for
meeting the needs of international
traffic.
