AIM OF MARTIAL LAW
Is to Offset Injunction Granted
by Judge Stevens.
Any Attempt to Come Back
Will Be Net by Arrest.

Denver, Col, March 24.--Military law
is in operation today in two Colorado
counties-San Miguel and Las Animas.
Reports from both districts are to the
effect that conditions at present are
peaceful. At Telluride, San Miguel
county, press censorship is exercised
and no news is sent out except such
as is approved by the military authori-.
ties. No press censorship has yet
been established at Trinidad or other
towns in the coal fields.
At the capitol no secret is made of
the fact that the purpose in declaring
martial law in San Miguel county is to
prevent the return to Telluride Of the
union men who were expelled from the
camp by an organizat ton of armed
business men and who have announced
their intention to go back under pro-
lection of an injunction granted BY
District Judge Theron Stevens. Cap
tain Bulkeley Wells, whom GovernoS
Peabody has appointed military COM
mander of the district was one of the
leaders of the party that drove the uH-
ion men and their. sympathizers out Of
the camp. He has said that If the ex.
lies should attempt to return they
would be regarded as characters likely
to create disorder in the district and
would be dealt with accordingly.

CONTRACT FOR ORGAN.
One to Be Placed in Auditorium

Today the contract for placing in the

and by the officers of the pipe organ as

places the supervision of the Auditorium
in new hands and all requests for the use
of the building for pay shows must he
referred to the pipe organ association for
their consideration before the council can
take action.
Frank Foster said today in speaking of
the plans of the association: I'VE have
not yet let the contract for the building
of the organ. 1t is the idea of a number
of members of the association that we
should not let any contract until we have
at least 5000 in the treasury. 1t seems
to me we should have something in sight
before we undertake the project
I'VE first brought the matter before the
council last January and hoped that it
would be speedily considered so that it
might be possible for us to put the organ
in in time for the musical festival. But
the thing dragged along SO that this is
now impossible. We ought now to get
some money on hand and then put in the
organ.

ONLY ONE MORE DAY.
If You Haven't Registered 1t
May Be Too Late.

Registra ton has been coming in
very slowly today, and the chances are
now that when the books close at 10
o'clock Friday night thee total registra-
ton of the city will not exceed 5000.
The registration books will be kept
open until 10 o'clock tonight, for the
purpose of accommodating working
people who may find it more convenient
to come to the office in the evening.
1t is practically impossible to give
any estimate on the total registration
in the Second and Third wards, and
this difficulty is giving sthe politicians
much worry. In the Third ward the
politicians say that very short reg
istration would be a good thing for
Vim. Green, on the theory that most
of the people who fail to register are
women. So far it has seemed that the
womens registration is rather small all
over the city
The following figures on the registra-
tion a year ago in the Second and Third
wards will be of interest at this time:

Arthur, which was made on March %,
reached Toxic tonight. and is as fol-
lows:
THE combined feet acted according
to the plan arranged.
1.-TWO fiotillas of destroyers were
outside Port Arthur, as instructed
from the night of the 21st, until the
morning of the 22d. Although during
this time our destroyers We're under
the fire of the enemy, they sustained
no damage. The main fleet arrived off
Port Arthur at o'clock on the morn
ing of the 22d.
Il dispatched a part of the fleet in
the direction of Pigeon bay and or
dered the battleships Fuji and va
shima to make an indirect lombard
ment against the inner side of the
port. During the bombardment the
enemy's ships gradually came out of
the harbor and at the time when the
indirect bombardment stopped, which
was about 2 o'clock, the number of
Russian ships was five battleships,
four cruisers and several destroyeIs S.
We believed the enemy was trying by
making a movement of their feet to
draw US near the forts. The enemy 8
ships shelled US indirectly and many
of their shots fell near the battleship
Fuji but our ships sustained no dam
age. About o'clock our vessels with
drew off the port"

Trinidad. Colo. March 24.-Delegatess
of the coal miners unions of Southern
Colorado, held a convention here to-
day to consider a proposition to re-
turn to work on the terms in effect
when the strike was inaugurated last
fall.
William Howells, president of dis

made a strong statement in defense
of his conduct of the strike.
The action Of. Governor Peabody in
calling out the militia and declaring
martial law he said. is absolutely
unwarranted by the conditions There
has been no violence nor any attempt
of it. The only disturbance that has
occurred since the strike began in
November was occasioned by agents
of the operators. We have counseled
moderation from the beginning, and
we shall adhere to our policy. Reports
that strikers were gathering arms is
absolutely untrue. They are peaceable
and obey implicitly our directions"
