Forgotten Claim Revived.

Denver, July S.-By the discovery OF
a forgotten letter Gen. c. e. Cooper
has probably saved the state OF Colo
RADIO about $4,000.
A year ago on July 18th letter
came from the War Department to
Governor Peabody announcing that
law had been adopted by which the
states would be reimbursed for their
expenditures, but the claim must be
filed by January l. 1906. A day or two
later this letter was turned over to the
adjutant general and no one thought
anything more of it. 1t seems that
the letter was pigeonholed by General
Bell and there remained. In going
through some old papers General
Cooper came across it and called the
attention of the governor to the mat
ter. General Cooper. who is the gov
ernors military adviser, was in
structed to work with Adjutant Wells
in preparing a claim for the state.
Governor Adams was in office at
the time of the Spanish war and he
Immediately modified the state mill
tia in this city. Camp Adams was
established at City Park and in the
course of two or three weeks the en-
listment OF the men as the First Colo
rado Volunteers was completed and
the troops started for the Philippines.
1t is this expenditure that the gov
ernment will pay. but if the letter had
not been accidentally discovered be-
fore next January the state might
have been out $4,000.

Barred from Mails.

Washington, July 10.-Postmaster
General Cortelyou last night ordered
the issuance of fraud order against
the Peoples United States Bank of st.
Louis, its officers and agents and E. C.
Lewis, publisher. effective July 9Th
The action bars the company from the
use of mails, after an investigation by
the postal authorities as to the details
of the business of the institution. The
postmaster general in his announce
ment says:
ut is understood that the funds of
the bank which have not been bor-
rowed by Mr.. Lewis and his enter
prises, amounting to about two-thirds
of the total amount remitted, are de-
posted in banks and will be available
toward reimbursement of the stock
holders who number upwards of $4,000.
1t is the intention of the officers of the
Postoffice Department to cooperate
with the secretary of state in Missouri
In every proper way for the interests
of the investors and depositors."

China Not Wanted.

Washington, July 10.-China's re-
quest to be represented in the Wash
ington conference, on the ground that
she is vitally interested In its proceed
ings, has been received by the Presi-
dent and Informally transmitted to the
belligerents.
Whether the President has received
the formal yeplies cannot be learned,
but it can be ctated that, while Russia
Is inclined to favor the suggestion,
Japan will not consent to 1t. Japan al
ready has made public her assurance
that Manchuria is to be restored to
China. That is one of the principles
for which she says she has been fight
ing.
Japan regards herself as fully capa-
BILE of executing this promise without
the assistance of China. and in view
of China's inability before the war to
cope with Russia in Manchuria, the
Japanese government is unable to see
what possible service Chinese repre-
sentative would be in the Washington
conference.
