CALLS CAPTAIN A COWARD.
Letter Of a Pueblo Man ineenses
Adjutant General Bell

Pueblo, April 23.-Adjutant General
Bell and a squad of soldiers. while
stopping for half an hour in the city
to-day en- route for Telluride. searched
eagerly for Henry o. Morris. a local in
surance man. but failed to find him be
fore the train left. The cause of the
search was a telegram sent by Norris
to Captain Wells this morning. The
telegram was as follows:
Allow me to name you as the great
est coward in Colorado. save Sherman
Bell, the tinhorn."
As soon as the train reached the
city a detail of twenty-four men under
Captain Wells got off at the platform
and began inquring the whereabouts
of Mr.. Morris. Inquiries about the
depot failed to reveal his presence
in the vicinity. General Bell was high
ly indignant and stated in substance
that he considered Mr.. Morris the
greatest coward in the world. He said;
Il have exercised every endeavor
to interview him on this telegram
| have offered a reward for informa-
ton leading to his presence before me
and am not through with him yet
Mr.. Morris was seen this afternoon
relative to the search instituted for
him. Pe stated that he had sent the
telegram In question and was prepared
to stand by every word of it. Mr.. Nor
ris has been In the limelight previ-
ously under quite similar circum-
stances. He is Socialist and has
frequently declared himself along the
most radical lines. He came into pub
nc notice the last time by virtue ot
having some circulars in his posses
sion which. it was stated at the time
were desecration OF the flag and IL was
declared that the Federal Court would
prosecute him.

Petrified Human Skull.

C. E. Meyer, county clerk of Costil'
la county, has written a letter to State
Curator Ferrill from San Luis which
may result in bringing into the posses
sion of the State Historical Society n
prize relic in the shape of a petrified
skull. Mr.. Meyer wrote as follows:
81 have in my possession part oil
human skull, which is a real. genuine
ipetrifaction. showing plainly the brain
cells and convolutions of the brain.
I have the upper part of the skull only.
the lower part being altogether miss
ling.
This curiosity was found by Mex
lean boy some years ago on a small
volcanic hill in the San Luis valley.
The boy. however. not knowing what
he had found. and the thing arousing
his curiosity. broke it into several
pieces. What have of 1t can be glued
together II necessary.
"lf the skull is OF any interest or
value to the State Historical Society
II shall be glad to forward it to you.
Curator Ferril has asked that the
skull be sent him and believes II Will
prove one OF the most interesting spec
linens in the whole state house collec-
tion. He will also make an effort TO
determine the exact locality where the
skull was found and make a research
of its geological formation. which may
result in further discoveries.

pished and Unexpectedly. as the public
had been given to understand that the
contract would not be executed untiR
after the meeting of the stockholders OF
the Panama Canal Company to-day, at
which the question OF ratihcatlon
would be presented.
When w A. Day and Charles W.
Russell. United States assistant attor-

Panama Canal Bill Passed.

The Panama canal bill was taken up
IN the Senate April 18th and passed.
Mr.. Hale, upon the suggestion OF
Messrs Aldrich and Hopkins, withdrew
his amendment requiring that men.
supplies. etc, be shipped to the 18TH
mus in American vessels.
Mr. Spooner spoke in favor OF the
amendment proposed by Mr.. Morgan,
that the pardoning power rests in the
governor instead of in the commission.
He moved also that a new section be
added, providing that all salaries or
other compensation fixed by the com
mission shall be subject to the approval
OF the President.
The amendment was adopted. as wen
as one requiring more rigid accounting
to the President by members of the
commission.
Mr.. Bacon offered an amendment al
the end of the first section of the BILL
providing that 'the payment of $lO,-
900 900 to Panama provided for in ar
ticle IA of the treaty shall be made in
lieu of the indefinite appropriation
made in the third section of the act
of June 2S, 1902. and is hereby appro-
priated.'
The amendment was adopted after an
explanation that this would clear away
all doubt as to the authority to make
the payment.
Mr.. Morgan made a final speech
against the bill, and when he ceased
speaking at 3.25 p. M, in less than
minute afterward the bill was passed.
There was no division.

Hot Alaska Discussion.

During the consideration OF the
army appropriation bill in the Senate
the discussion turned on the need OF
wagon roads in Alaska. Mr.. Nelson
saying that there was not single
wagon road in that territory and MI.
Teller asserting that II $500.000 could
be spent in the building of such roads
there would be a rich return in the in
crease OF gold production.
Messrs. Proctor and Quarles said
that it had been impossible to secure
more than $25.000 from the House
conferees.
Mr.. Nelson predicted that within
the next generation Alaska would
have a population OF a million. He
related many details of his observa-
tions in Alaska while visiting the
country as a member of the Senate
committee and aroused much interest
as he told of its resources. the hard
ships to which the settlers are sub
jected and the little that had been
done for the people. He grew espe-
cially Jealous in his presentation OF
the production Of precious metals.
furs, ETC.. and his zeal in this con-
nection was scarcely exceeded by the
indignation he exhibited as he de-
picted the niggardliness OF the govern
ment IL dealing with the Alaskans.
At last, completely Forgetting himself.
he exclaimed:
"All this they have done. Mr.. Presi'
dent, and in return we have not done
a damn thing for them" The state
ment was surprise to all present.
apparently as much to the speaker as
to his audience. There seldom has
been as spontaneous an outburst OF
laughter in the Senate as the exclama-
ton provoked. Mr.. Nelson Joined in
the merriment though with many
evidences of embarrassment. His
only apology was the remark that
sometimes adjectives came from the
heart" and with that he closed his
speech.
