The Universal Language.

Little Clarence Tompkins returned
from a visit to a New York cousin with
a slang vocabulary that proved very
distressing to his father, village cler-
gyman. Soon after his return he was
sent to the library for certain book.
On the way the title slipped his mind,
but not until il had created an asso-
citation of Ideas.
Pop wants book on rubberneck-
in" Clarence announced.
"The Rev. Mr.. Tompklns wants a
book on rubbernecklng" gasped the
librarian. What is the title, Clar-
ence!"
81 forgot" said Clarence. But it's
about rubberneckin'," he insisted. He
was sent home for more specific infor-
nation and returned with a slip Of pa
per on which was written, Looking
Backward. ."-Lippincott's Magazine.

COMING OF THE G. Ar.
PREPARATIONS TO FEED THEM
Tables at Railway Depots-Reunions
and Campfires Every Day Dur
ina the Encamprnent,

Denver, Aug. 17.-During the ma
ional encampment of the Grand Army
of the Republic in this city during the
week beginning Monday, September
4th, the traffic will be so heavy on ev-
cry railroad entering Denver that it is
feared there will not be sufficient ac.
commodations in the dining cars and
railroad eating houses for the crowds
of passengers. In order that none of its
patrons may suffer from hunger the
Burlington, through General Traffic
Manager p. S. Eustis, has made unique
arrangements.
At every station with an eating
house on the route of this line benches
the length of a depot platform, and
chairs, will be installed on both sides
of the track. Patriotic societies and
church guilds will be in charge of
these and will serve meals to the trav-
elers who cannot be accommodated
elsewhere.
A tifty-minutes' stop will be made at
all those stations. instead of the usual
one of twenty minutes. The Missouri
Pacific has adopted the same plan, and
other lines will probably do SO.
There will be more reunions at the
Denver encampment than at any prev
ious one. The committee of reunions
and camptires at the G. A. R. headquai-
ters has provided places where mem
bers of regiments and battalions can
meet and talk over old times.
On the evenings of September 4th,
5th, 9th, 7th and Sth there will be
campfires at Broadway park presided
over by such prominent men as Sena-
tor Depew of New York, Bishop Nc
Cabe of Ohio and Bishop Moore. Those
attending these campfires Will be
seated according to the regiments they
served in during the war
If Colorado has no objection TO yel-
low fever. General Cook, chairman of
the executive committee of arrange
ments has received word from Colonel
Baquien, assistant adjutant general of
I the Department of Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi, that New Orleans viii send
delegation of sixty to the encampment
General Cook has written Colonel Ba
quien that Colorado is perfectly i'm
mune from all yellow fever germs and
assured the southerner that if the New
Orleans veterans come to Denver they
will not encounter any mosquitoes or
other pests.
Mrs. William Mckinley, wife of the
late President, has written her regrets
at not being able to accept the invita-
tion rendered her to be the >uest of
the thrty-ninth National G. A. X. en-
campment at Denver.
On Sunday, September Sd, National
Chaplain-in-Ch of the Grand Army
j. H. Bradford will hold services at the
First Congregational church. Rev. G.
Monroe Markley, the pastor of the
church, will deliver an address OF wei
come.

TeIegraphy on Engines.

Chicago. Aug. 15.-The experiments
made with wireless Biography on en-
gines running over the tracks of the
Chicago & Alton railroad has proved
SO successful that the management OF
the road has taken steps to equip all
the engines Of the company with the
apparatus. Under the new system
adopted each engine carrying its own
wireless signal apparatus constitutes
the center Of a movable block travel
ing with the train. Near the engineer
in the cab Is an indicator which keeps
him informed of the conditions within
the blocks where he is the center. IL
train approaches within two miles
to the rear a green light shows on the
indicator and warning bell calls the
attention of the engineer. II the train
is to the front red light flashes and
bell rings.
The signals are reciprocal and the
engineers on both trains receive them
at the same instant.

Eagles Convention Welcomed.

Denver, Aug. 16.-The convention of
the Fraternal Order of Eagles took up
its work yesterday. The public recep-
tior In the morning at the Tabor Grand
opera house was an occasion which set
the Eagles on the wing and the Off
GERS and members of the grand aerie
were accorded a great ovation.
About 100 officers of the grand
aerie occupied the stage. Mr.. Bell
made the opening welcome address,
making very pleasing show of hos
pitality to the delegates. Governor Nc
Donald was the first speaker, deliver
ing few brief remarks in an impress
sive manner. He was applauded by
the delegates and Dr. w. II. Sharpley
followed with few observations of a
fraternal nature.
Mayor Speer welcomed the guests in
happy manner. He chose a light, IA
cetious tone in addressing the dele
gates, which met with ready apprecia-
tion and closed with an invitation to
all tired" Eagles to come to Colorado
to live at some future time, and stating
that the keys of the city are always at
their disposal
Grand Worthy President Pelletier
thanked the state and city officials for
their welcome and the local aerie for
its earnest work in caring for the con,
vention.

Serious Famine in Spain.

London, Aug. 1G.-The Nails dis
patches with regard to the famine con-
dition in Andalusia, Spain, state that
the Spanish government has entirely
failed to give relief and that as the
money grants are absolutely made
quate ,o meet the necessities, the re.
sources are completely exhausted.
Hunger deaths are of daily occur
renee. Theft and pillage are common
and it is impossible to maintain order.
Not a drop of rain has fallen in that
district since March and the summer
and autumn crops will be ruined unless
rain falls soon or the government re-
alizes the situation and takes steps to
remedy the conditions.
1t is feared that the peasantry will
take the law in their own hands and
even now signs of open revolt are plen-
tiful and evaporation at the govern
ments inaction is becoming daily more
pronounced.

Danger to Moffat Road.

Denver, Aug. 15.-The Republican
this morning says: At the National IT.
rigation Congress, which convenes at
Portland, Oregon, on Monday, the great
issue to be fought out is the position of
the reclamation service officers, and
the great railroad corporations and
agents with regard to the Moffat Short
Line, a Colorado enterprise. The dele
gates from this state will be asked to
intervene in the interest of the road.
The Gore Canon reservoir project of
the reclamation service is but one.
It is charged that the agents of the
reclamation service intend to stake out
q reservoir site on Bear river, in this
state, and it has already been an
nounced from Washington that 200,-
900 acres ofthe Uintah reservation have
been set aside to support reservoir
system on the Duchesne river, Utah.
Now, all three are on the line Of the
Moffat road, any one Of which would
seriously. If not fatally, interfere with
its construction.
Delegates from Denver and Colorado
to the Irrigation Congress will be
asked to defend the road. The con-
gress itself is under the auspices Of
the reclamation service and the officers
of this department are the leaders Of
the congress.

Tacit Armistice Prevails.

Portsmouth N H., Aug. 16.-It
seems to be taken for granted by both
the attaches of the Japanese and Rus
sian missions that there will be no
general battle in Manchuria while the
peace negotiations are on.
Oyama is known to be prepared to
strike the moment the negotiations
fail, and there may be minor skirmish-
ing and outpost engagements while the
troopts are getting in position, but it
is admitted on each side that If either
Oyama or Linevitch should deliber-
ately bring on a general engagement
which might cost $4,000 or 100000
lives his country would be accused of
bad faith in the negotiations here and
would inevitably lose prestige in the
eyes of the world. In the larger sense.
therefore, it can be said that an armis-
tice already exists in Manchuria.
Should the negotiations be vainly
prolonged and it became evident that
they were to be fruitless, the advance
of Oyama or Linevitch might be the
signal for the final rupture. The un-
expected attack on Port Arthur might
be repeated below Harbin.

Eagles Convention.

Denver, Colo, Aug. 15.-When the
Grand Junction Eagles arrived in Den
yer last night with a live specimen Of
the king of American birds right from
the Colorado mountains, it was de-
cided at Eagles headquarters that
everything was ready for the business
of the convention which begins to-day.
Every train for the last two days has
been crowded with arriving delegates
and the stream will increase in volume
throughout to-day. The hosts are in
possession of Denver
How many thousand Eagles from all
parts of the country are here is diff
cult to estimate. Some enthusiasts
even set the figures as high as $4,000.
The big parade comes Thursday after
NOON, when gaily garbed Eagles from
america, Canada and Mexico will
make an immense display. Meanwhile
the convention is rife with the strug-
gle for the presidency on between
President Pelletier and Hy Davis of
Ohio, with the odds seeming to favor
the latter Just now. Chicago wants
the next convention, and is likely to
get 1t unless all signs fail.

TO PROTECT WORKMEN
DUTY OF CANAL COMMISSION
mus-DiffcuIty in Feeding
Employees.

New York. Aug. 1.-THE care Of 20,-
600 employees to work upon the Pan
anna canal was declared by Chairman
Shonts of the Panama canal commits
sion, who arrived to-day from Colon,
to be of the first Importance, and to
have precedence over the actual work
of digging.
Mr.. Shonts said that there. was in
reality no yellow fever scare to speak
of at the Isthmus and that the total
number of cases in Panama during
August up to the time of his sailing
was only thirty. adding:
I'VE went to Colon with Mr.. Ste
vens, chief engineer, to see what had
been done and what should be done.
We found the first thing of importance
to be housing and supplying 10000
men. When our government first took
hold of the canal every effort was d.
rected toward making the dirt fly. |
think this was a mistake. Time should
have been given toward preparing for
the task by making arrangements to
take care of employees. 1t is true also
that the laborers were not promptly
paid and that matters We're becoming
congested on the railway and steam
erS.
THE people OF the isthmus are not
forehanded, and with the large addi-
tion to the population caused by the
coming of the canal laborers, the sup
plies for living were exhausted. This
caused the prices to rise asd soon the
laboring class found that they could
not earn enough to support them
selves. To offset this sub-commissary
stations were established to feed the
laborers.
Il made an arrangement with the
president of Panama that unless
prices became normal on the isthmus
to continue this system of supplying
the laborers. At Colon large refrig-
Grating plant is now being established,
from which all supplies will be issued
promptly, so that shortly all American
employees will be able to obtain the
same fare as they would at home.
There are about 10000 employees
on the isthmus now. including the la
borers."

Vote on Separation.

Christiania, Norway, Aug. 15.-The
returns from the national referendum
on the dissolution of the union show
that out Of 321.35S votes cast, only 161
are against dissolution. The Storthing
has been summoned to meet August
21st to take the next step toward the
repeal of the act of ulion in agreement
with Sweden.
c. C. Berner, president of the Storth-
ing, said to the Associated Press:
"Norway's political desire is to con-
tinue as monarchy. The offer to the
house of Bernadotte has brought forth
no answer. Norway cannot, however.
wait forever, and in reasonable time
will consider the failure to answer as
refusal and will invite another
prince to occupy the throne. The
Storthing would not take the respon-
sibility Of deciding in favor Of re-
public, but would refer that question to
the people,"

Denver Colo, Aug. 16.-His health
impaired by living in high altitude,
Rev. James S. Montgomery yesterday

BIG TRACT RESTORED
TO UlNTAH LAND RESERVATION
President Modifies His Proclamation
and Cancels Withdrawal Of
Eighty-Five Thousand Acres,

Washington, Aug. 16.-The President
mas modified his proclamation of the
oth inst. withdrawing from entry GER
tain lands in the Uintah Indian reser-
walton and has restored about $4,000
acres.
Following is the Interior Depart
ments statement of the action taken:
The act of March 3, 1905, provides
-that before the opening of the Uintah
indian reservation the President may
set apart and reserve any reservoir
Site or other lands necessary to con-
serve and protect the water supply for
the indians or for general agricultural
development Accordingly, the United
States Geological Survey, after due in
Vestlgation, made report to the secre-
tary of the Interior recommending that
certain described lands, covering over
100000 acres, including large guam
t1ty of agricultural land, be reserved
under said provision of law
Upon this recommendation the act
ing secretary of the interior requested
the President to issue his proclamation
making such reservations, and accord
ingly the President issued his procla-
nation of August s, 1905. Subse-
quently, complaints having reached the
department that the said agricultural
. lands properly should not be included
in said reservation, Mr.. Ryan, the act
ing secretary, took the subject up for
further consideration, and directed
the United States Geological Survey to
make supplemental report stating
specifically whether the reservation of
these agricultural lands is necessary
for the conservation and protection of
a water supply This supplemental
report has been made and shows that
the reservation of these lands is not
necessary for that purpose, but that
they were included in the surveys
original report on the assumption that
the act authorized their reservation
for agricultural development which
was specifically stated in It, The act
ing secretary decided that their reser-
walton was authorized only if 'neces-
sary to conserve and protect the water
supply, and requested the President to
release them from reservation, which
was done to-day by supplemental proc
lamation, and that now these agricul-
tural lands are subject to disposition
in the manner provided by the law"

NEW TARIFF SCHEME.
Maximum and Minimum Rates &c Be
Available for All Nations.

Chicago Aug. 17.-"Dual tariff in
all probability is the war cry which
will ring through the United States for
some years to come, instead of the
familiar call for reciprocity,
The new slogan means the passage
of maximum and minimum" tariff
law, permitting the establishment Of
reciprocal trade relations with friendly
foreign countries by the vote of Con
gress.
Alvin H. Sanders. chairman Of the
executive committee of the national
reciprocity conference, which opened
its two days session here yesterday,
is credited with originating the war
cry.
Mr.. Sanders broached his suggestion
to few friends after the word reci-
procity had received rather rough
handling on the floor OF the conven-
tion. and it met with approval among
the delegates.
They had assembled to discuss reel
procity trade relations with other
countries, amendment of the Dingley
tariff law, alterations of the Interstate
commerce laws and kindred matters.
The West sent large delegation, the
great stock raising and farming indus
tries of the West being especially well
represented. Manufacturers from the
eastern states are also strongly rep,
resented.
