Glepwood Springs. Col, May 3.-President
Roosevelt's hunting party has been stormpouhd
in the mountains for three days Rain and snow
have fallen continuously, and tonight there is
no Sign Of break The roads are muddy ana the
trails dangerous for horsemen. The hunters
intended to remove to East Divide Creek on
Monday but, the party will break up on
Saturday. the camp will probably be moved
to the head of Garfield Creek as soon as horse
men can get through, Mountain streams are
raging torrents, and most of them cannot be
crossed.
Grizzly bears the only kind of game that
will be hunted for from now on. Thus far the
king of Rocky Mountain beasts has eluded the
President, and he is very anxious to get
grizzly Ten brown bears have been shot and
some were of good size.
President Roosevelt is expected in Cflenwood
Springs Saturday night instead of Sunday
morning. If the camp is moved to Garfield
Creek the party will ride thence to Clenwood
springs, crossing the Grand River at South
Canyon
The Presidents special train will leave Glen
wood Springs at O'Clock Monday morning
and reach Denver at , O'Clock that evening.
This is more than hour faster than the best
passenger schedule. The train will be made up
OF the private car Rocket, Union Pacific Ii
Drary car and baggage A pilot train
carrying officers of the Denver and Rio Grande
Railroad and Denver newspaper men will be
run ahead of the special train as far as Denver.

VETERANS REVIVE VAR.
Refuse to March IN Parade Behind
EG-C Confederate Soldiers.

II looks as though the Memorial Day parade in
Brooklyn this year would be marred by the action
Of several posts of the Grand Army of the Repub-
nc which are wrought up because the New York
camp of Confederate Veterans has been invited to
take part in the parade by Grant Post which has
a position near the head Of the line Influential
members of several of the other posts have the
idea that it would not be right for them to march
behind any former Confederate soldiers
These protestants are carrying on an agitation to
prevent other posts from taking part. Some Of
the posts have even gone far as to consider the
advsabity of showing their displeasure more
publicly by entering The line of march and then
dropping out again. The posts that do not take
part in the regular parade will have little parade
all Of their own. Wiser heads in the counsels of
the Grand Army in Brooklyn are trying to show
that it would be extremely discourteous TO the
Confederate Veterans to show that any OF the old
feeling still prevails.
