Republican Solidarity.

As the time for the Republican national convention
approaches, the unanimity of party leaders upon all
questions of public expediency becomes apparent
fact that foreshadows party triumph polls next
November
In the Republican organization there factonal
strife rivals for leadership, and among
and file there disaffection with any principles
it advocates means of national advancement and
reform.
The policy of the Republican party has been one of
growth and evolut and appeals with peculiar
that class of American citizenship which believes
it is the manifest destiny of the United
position in the very and forefront national pro-
gress and civilization.
The platform promulgated by the Republican party
four years covered every essential question with
which the government had to deal in its admnistra

in charge are always glad to welcome
any suggestions in that regard.
The result Of the track meet held last
Saturday was victory for the South
Canon lads with a score OF 68 to 81. The
association men made a good showing
when it is taken into consideration that
they have had very little training and
practice along the lines Of track ath-
letics. The pleasure Of the afternoon
was marred by the fact that Arch Hea-
ton sprained his ankle badly while
vaulting. This week the men are out
playing little base ball.

Danger From Fire.

Canon City is in constant danger of fire.
The cause is the careless in which many peo-
pie leave their ash pits.
Take walk down the alleys any windy night and
notice many coverle.s ash pits smoking and
glowing with burning paper and trash.
Many merchants careless about letting pine boxes
packing and infamabe trash accumulate in the back
yard.
In half dozen places along Main street gust OF
wind could lift burning paper from lidess ash
and without carrying twenty feet, fire to whole
block.
This carelessness be easily remedied.

District Court.

The attention of district court thus
far this week has been occupied in
hearing the evidence in the case Of the
and William Denton of Florence, on
the charge Of wrecking d. & =. G..
freight train, near Adobe station. Sun
day afternoon, January 10th.
The case was called for trial on the
assembling OF court last Monday morn
ing, but owing to its notoriety it was
found impossible to procure twelve un-
biased men from the regular panel to
hear the testimony and a special venire
Of eight bystanders had to be called
before jury acceptable to the prose
cution and the defense, could be OBJ
tanned. A great number Of witnesses
were examined and much testimony
adduced both for the state and the de-
PENDANTS, every point made being con-
tested by the attorneys for the opposi-
tion.
Few criminal trials have ever taken
place in this county that have aroused
the same degree Of interest, due partly
to the youthfulness OF the prisoners and
and partly to the gravity Of the offense
for which they are arraigned. The
court room has been crowded with peo-
pie since the case was called, many of
them being from Florence, where the
defendants are best known. The de-
tense rested its case at 3 o'clock yes
terday afternoon, although some addi-
tional testimony was scheduled for the
prosecution after that hour.
The prosecution was conducted by
district attorney Pease and O. @. Daw-
son, the interest of the defendants be-
ing looked after by Maupin, McLain
and Wilkes. All OF the evidence being

WAS FURIOUS STORM.
Worse Than Ever Before
Known.

Baltimore, Md, Sept. 17.-Reports
from points down the Chesapeake bay
indicate the storm was unprecedented
in its fury and long continuance. For
nearly ten hours last night and early
this morning the bay was swept by a
rain and wind storm that for a time
ragged more flercely than any other
storm in the memory of the oldest
Chesapeake mariners. The storm was
evidently more severe farther down the
bay than at its head. The storm played
havoc with the shipping in the north
ern part of the bay particularly. The
wharves at both Betterton and Col
chester were partially washed away,
light craft around Colchester, Havre de
France and Betterton were badly dam
aged. In many cases the boats were
washed away and lost.
The steamer Joppa, from Easton for
Baltimore, tried in vain TO make land
ings ON the bay shore: her cargo list
ed and for hours she pitched and rolled
with water dashing into her cabins and
drenching the panic stricken passen-
gers, reaching this city safely after
several hours delay. On the lower
Susquehanna a schooner and yacht
were blown ashore, a tug sunk and in
the hay a dozen buoys and smaller
craft were driven ashore. In this city
today one man, William Norton, was
instantly killed by coming in contact
with a live wire blown down during the
storm.
Dispatches from western Maryland
report damage to crops and fruits. The
rainfall during the prevalence of the
| storm for seventeen hours was 500

ATTACK kuRoPATKIN AGAIN.
A, Report in Toxic That oyama Will
Take Initiative Soon.

Toxic. Sept. 17.-Information comes
from a high source that Field Marshal
Oyama will make another attempt to
destroy General Kuropatkin's army be-
fore it reaches Telling. 1t is said that
the Russians are badly demoralized and
are in such shape now that If the Japa-
nese commander can overcome the diff
ficulties in~terposed by the frightfully
bad roads and get at the enemy in the
way that he is seeking to strike them
that he will have very little difficulty in
indicting a blow which will practically
destroy the Russian army.
The probabilities are that Port Ar
thur will be permitted to remain as 1t is
until this new move has been developed.
The only reasons for pushing operations
at Port Arthur is TO eliminate it as a
possible base for the Russian Baltic
fleet. 1t is not believed that Russia has
any serious intention OF sending Adj
miral Rejeutvensky to the far east. I'm
til it develops definitely hat his ships
are coming to test Japan's supremacy
on the sea there Is no necessity to take
Port Arthur.
Should the Baltic sea squadron ac-
tually start, military experts here de-
clare that Port Arthur can be taken
within a month and that would be
long before the Russian vessels could
possibly get within reach of IL.
