University viii Borrow Money.

Denver. Dec. ITO save the Uni.
versity of Colorado from closing it's
doors for the rest of it's fiscal year,
Governor Peabody yesterday issued an
order authorizing the board Of regents
to borrow not more than $4,000 to pay
salaries Of officers, teachers and other
employees and to meet other expenses.
In his order the governor calls atten-
tion to the fact that the Fourteenth
General Assembly, by an act approved
April 13. 1903. appropriated the sum
of 100000 for the maintenance Of the
university, but that the appropriation
belongs to what Is known as the third
class. for the payment of which there
are at present no funds available by
the treasurer.
The tax levy of one-fifth Of MILL
was increased to two-fifths to meet
the increased expenses OF the school
by the General Assembly Of 1903, but
there is at present no money to pay
the appropriation and will not be until
the taxes for 1904 are collected next
spring. hence the shortage Of funds.

Washington, Dec. 17.-Secretary
Hay yesterday transmitted to the am.

the powers signatory to The Hague
convention, for presentation to the
several foreign Offices, circular note
giving summary Of the replies to his
note Of last October, suggesting a sec
ond peace conference at The Hague,
to complete the work begun by the
first conference.
The effect of the note is to perma-
nently record the hearty acceptance,
In principle. by all the powers ad.
dressed, Of this governments sugges.
ton.
The fixing of the dste for this assem-
bly, Is subject for further discussion
as Russia in her acceptance inserted
the condition that the conference do
not convene until her war with Japan
has ended. In the reply Of Japan the
State Department finds a reasonable
provision that this conference. In the
event that 1t should be called in the
lifetime Of the present war, shall not
on its findings affect this conflict. So
reasonable does this suggestion appear
to several neutral powers that it is
thought possible it may yet commend
itself to all the powers. including Rus

Educating Negro Preachers.

Clergymen and elders interested in

in New York city to the Rev. 8. G.
Miller, superintendent Of the John C.
Martin fund work. This fund, which
approximates S2,000,000, is to be used
for educating negro clergymen Of all
denominations. 1t is the ultimate in
tention to bring the work to focus
in chautauqua for Southern negroes.
The Rev. Mr.. Miller has been or
ganizing Bible institutes for year. He
has completed the work in Arkansas
and made beginning in Georgia,
South Carolina and Tennessee.
I'VE have 1000 students now," he
said, "and hope to have 10000 before
we are through. The clergymen are
eager to learn, and they will pass the
knowledge straight on to their congre-
cations. The people of the South are
with US; they approve Of this method
OF uplifting the negro.

REPORTED SALE
OF CRIPPLE CREEK SHORT LINE

Said to Have Been Bought by Colo
rado { southern-President How
bert Said to Be in New York Clos
ing the Deal.
Denver. Dec. 1.-THE Republican
this morning says: The Colorado
Springs & Cripple Creek District rail-
road. 1t is reported, has been sold to
the Colorado Z Southern. The rumor
has been current in railroad circles for
several days that the Cripple Creek
road was to soon change hands, but
only on yesterday was it generally be-
lieved that the Colorado & Southern
was the purchaser.
The Colorado & Southern now
handles its Cripple Creek business
through q trafIic agreement with the
Colorado Midland Terminal lines, and
1t is said that 1t is the desire of the
company to secure a firm grip on the
Cripple Creek district business, hence
its purchase OF the Colorado Springs T.
Cripple Creek.
1t is believed that the purchase, II
1t has been made, is not for immediate
results, but for the future, as business
is steadily increasing in the Cripple
Creek district, and there is every indi-
cation that the district has never
reached the limit of its prosperity.
Denials are made that the Colorado
& Southern has bought the Short Line.
as the Colorado Springs & Cripple
Creek road is commonly known, but 1t
Is asserted that the deal was put
through recently in New York. Presi-
dent Howbert of the Short Line is now
in New York, 1t is said and that there
he negotiated with Edwin Hawley, the
principal owner of the Colorado &
Southern for the sale of the road. 1t
cost approximately $3,500.000 to build
the Cripple Creek road, but it is not
believed that the property sold for
that amount.
The Cripple Creek road was built
by mine owners of the Cripple Creek
district SO as to have an Independent
road. Prior to its construction they
were at the mercy OF the Midland Ter
minal and Florence & Cripple Creek,
both roads being owned by the same
company. The charges for ore were
deemed exorbitant and in order to get
out of the meshes they built the Grip
pie Creek road. The road was built
practically in an air line from Colorado
Springs to Cripple Creek. 1t has forty
six miles of main line and several
miles Of switches to mines in the dis
trict. 1t operates through trains be-
tween Cripple Creek and Denver in
conjunction with the Rio Grande.
