Speech and Shakes Hands with All
Present,

Glenwood Springs, April 30-Unique
in the history of Colorado was the
church service held at the old Blue
school house on the West Divide creek
to-day and attended by President
Roosevelt and his hunting party and
all the ranchmen and their farelies for
miles around. The little district school
building was not tenth part large
enough to accommodate the congrega-
tion and as a result the organ was
moved to the platform in front On
this platform seats were provided for
the President and his party, the Rev.
Horace Mann of Rifle, Colorado, who
preached the sermon. the choir and
the trustees of the church.
The members of the congregation
stood or sat on the ground, or in their
conveyances, which were grouped
around the building. The sermon by
the Rev. Mann was of an unusual kind.
1t began with a story. teemed with
slang of the Western flavor, and was
full of advice suited to congregation
inuring itself to the hardships of
mountain life. 1t touched upon the re-
sponsibilities of the position of presi-
dent as well as the characteristics of
some of the men who have occupied
that exalted place.
After Rev. Mann had concluded the
President spoke about ten minutes.
He expressed his well known views on
good citizenship, the morality of man,
patriotism and duty to the home and
country He was cheered heartily
heartily throughout his remarks. After
the services were concluded he shook
hands with every man, woman and
child present. The services at the
school house were begun at IL o'clock.
Long before that hour the ranchmen
and their families began to assemble.
Many persons drove or rode horse
back from New Castle. Rifle and other
towns from five to fifteen miles away.
The Presidents party presented pic
turesque appearance as 1t came up,
The members of it were on horseback
and dressed in hunting clothes. They
had no others at the camp. Many OF
those in the congregation Wore their
| best. The dresses and hats of the
women were snowy and in striking
contrast to the mud-spattered tan
duck blue jeans and other rough ma
terials making up the costumes of the
President and his fellow hunters.

against Dennison with the assurance
that there would be no cost to the peo-

Washington, June 5.-Admiral En-
nuist will not be allowed to repair his
shir,s at Manila. This government has
decided that as the injuries to the ves-
sells were not caused either by sea or
storm, they will be. obliged to refuse
permission for vessels to be repaired
there Today Secretary Taft cabled
the following instructions to Governor
Wright at Manila:
'"Tome cannot be given for repair OF
injuries received in battle. Therefore
the vessels can not be repaired unless
dnterned until the end Of ,hosti.ities."
Secretary Taft stated if the Russian
vessels agreed to leave Manila in their
present condition they were welcome to
do so.
Secretary Taft today will cable Gov
er1aor Wright at Manila, to inform
Admiral Enquist that in strict pursu-
ance of the international policy adopt
ed by this government he will be al
lowed to intern his ships, the Aurora,
Cleg and Jemtchug at Manila 1t case
he does not adopt this course his only
alternative, after the period allowed by
International law has expired, will be
to put to sea. It is fully expected
here that Enquist will decide to intern
his ships:

Dennison trial is in Des Moines await
ing anxiously for the arrival of Deputy
Sheriff A. o. Lund of Blackwell, Okla.
who is expected to land in Des Moines
this noon, armed with evidence which
he will present before Governor Cum
minis for the purpose Of securing an
extradition for Shercliffe and to re-.
move him into Oklahoma, where
charges are awaiting him on robbery
and burglary. Sheriff Lund has in his
possession shirt with a bullet hole
in it, which he claims will, when
placed on Shercliffe's back, correspond
with a wound scar which the ex-con-
Wit is said to carry around with him.
Shercliffe was shot, it is claimed, by
a citizen of Blackwell.
Deputy Sheriff Lund will be accom-
panied by Sheriff Tom Harrigan OF
Leadville, Colo, who has a warrant
for the arrest of Shercliffe for the
murder of bartender in Leadville in
1888.
Lund and Harrigan are now at Red
Oak and announced last night that
they would arrive in Des Moines this
noon, probably over the Burlington.
Lund's case may be presented to the
governor first, altho 1t is believed that

81 Petersburg, June 5-The Russian
government has shown that 1t mas not

mands which the radicals hoped Au-

render of the vital principles Of the
autocracy.
The document is of the deepest inn
portance in the present state of Rus
sia and indicates that the government
while steadily proceeding in its plans
for the fulfillment of the imperial
promises contained in the rescript of
March s, is determined not to be
swerved from its purpose by the
pressure of military and naval disas-
ters but in it's own time and as
speedily as possible to give the nation
the legislative body on which the
Bouligan commission has been work
ing. In it may also be read the intima-
ton that the war will continue and
that the question of peace will not be
submitted to q zemsky sobor.
According to the Russ, the result of
the labors of the Bouligan commission
which has now been printed and sub
mitted to the commissioners does not
embody a definite plan for the organi-
zation Of new governmental body,
but rather a collection and classical
ton of the necessary data for the
formation of an assembly, giving all
of the views of the various points in
the dispute and leaving the final de-
cision 10 the ministers. This matter
as regarded by the commission is
grouped under the following heads:
First-A historical survey of the
forms assumed by popular represen-
tation in Russia from the fifth and
sixth century.
Second-Considerati of the effect
of the summoning of a popular as
sembly on the country under present
circumstances.
Third-The extent to which suffrage
shall be granted, whether on uni

fication or whether poorer classes and
occupations should be represented.
Fourth-The extent of the assemb-
ly's right to interpellate ministers.
Fifth-The extent of the assembly's
rights over the budget. and, lastly,
what provinces of government should
be removed to the competency of the
assembly.
Thus nothing regarding the I'm

BIG FIRE AT MILWAUKEE,.
The Famous Exposition Building De
stroyed Sunday Eveninu.


Milwaukee, June 5.-The exposition
building, noted for its many historic
scenes, was destroyed by fire Sunday
evening, causing a panic among those
in the building and entailing a loss
of 100000. The alarm was turned
in few minutes after O'clock ,and
an hour later the building was in ruins.
The tournament Of the national skat
congress had just been completed and
the greater part of the players had left
the building. A few Of the slow play
ers remained, and with the prize Off
cials at work preparing score cards,
were probably 1900 in the building
at the time of the fire. Suddenly some
one caught a glimpse of a reddish light
in the southwest gallery above the
great canvas curtain which formed the
roof Of the auditorium. Sergeant Geo.
Tyre of the police department and Cap
tain William Koerper Of the fire de-
partment ran up the stairway to the
place, but one glance told them that
the fire had progressed too far for their
efforts. They ran back crying to every
one to save himself, that the building
was on fire.
Meanwhile the players had taken
fright and We're crowding for the en-
frances. The cooler ones shouted that
there was no danger if all acted care
fully, but it had little effect on the
crowd. Debris began falling in the
main entrance on Fifth street, and the
few who We're left turned and ran to
the west entrance on Sixth street.
Here they were blocked by mass of
embers, which fell almost in their
faces.
The situation looked serious, but led
by few of the braver ones, they
charged thru the main entrance and
escaped.
When the panic came men dropped
everything and ran, yelling out of the
building, showing no more GOODNESS
than the women. Pieces from the cam
vas roof We're falling all about them,
which increased the fright. Some
stumbled, others fell and when they
reached the street there were few
whose clothing did not show evidences
of the struggle
No one was left in the building.
