NATIONAL ENcAMPMENT.
Great Hosts of Grand Army Of the Re.
public Coming to Denver.

Denver, Aug. 2S.-Next week the
streets of Denver will be swarming
with people. Not less than 125.000
are TO be provided for in this city, and
unless the public awakens to the re.
sponsibility that will be imposed upon
1t to keep its promises of entertaining
this vast throng from all parts of the
United States, 1t will find that 1t has
invited guests and forgotten to provide
the promised hospitality.
officials of the Santa Fe road alone
have stated to the executive commit
tee Of the G.. A. II. that II is preparing
to bring in $4,000 from the state OF
Kansas alone, while the Union Pacific
says 1t will bring in 10000 from the
same state.
More than month ago the chair
man of the Western Traffic Association
stated that $4,000 people had already
booked for the trip, and since then
thousands more have signified their
intention of being here.
Perhaps 100000 persons will be here.
The Union Depot Company will build
two large baggage platforms to handle
the encampment traffic alone, and will
install forty-four extra baggagemen,
who will work on regular shifts night
and day. Besides that, ]. G.. Campbell,
baggagemaster at the depot. says that
fully 100 extra men will have to be en-
gagged to work through tie encamp-
ment week.
Every hotel and rooming house and
private home will be taxed to provide
quarters. The hotels will turn ordi-
naries and bathrooms into dormitories
and install cots. All the school houses

APPEAL TO RocKEFELLER.
Paris Paper Asks Him to Pay War In
demnity to Jaapn.

Paris, Aug. 27.-Owing to the reports
from Portsmouth indicating that the
question of peace between Russia and
Japan hinges solely on Russia paying
an indemnity to Japan, the Matin
cabled last night remarkable appeal
to John d. Rockefeller at Cleveland
The appeal in part follows:
1.-THE question of money threatens
to unlQosen afresh and with redoubled
violence the scourge of war. President
Roosevelt is making noble and heroic
efforts TO end the struggle between the
to one-seventh of the entire popula-
ton of the globe. His initiative hon
ors America in the opinion of the civil
lized nations.
"The question arises as to whether
another American would not share the
glory of Mr.. Roosevelt and complete
his work by overcoming the sole OBJ
stacle now hindering peace. He would
thus demonstrate the might of money
in powerful and generous hands
1.-THE Matin, constituting itself
spokesman for this sentiment, ad-
dresses the richest citizen in the
world
The appeal concludes with lengthy
arguments showing the immense bene-
fits such an. act would confer upon CIV
ilization.
Cleveland. Aug. 27.-Mr. Rockefeller
declined to make any statement to-
night concerning the cablegram from
the Paris Matin, which was received
last evening at Forest Hill, his sum-
mer residence.

All markets reported stronger

Ael lne supply was rather light and
eouuhea mostly to cows. Good fat
steers nave been scarce and were
strong tc 15 cents higher than the pre-
ceeding week. Packers are wanting
some gooo steers and will use all they
can get this week. Cows were nlenti-

We're also stronger, the best bringing

FEEDER and stocker demand was better
than the week before, but still not as
strong as dealers would have liked.
Inc supply was light and all offerings
SOLD readily at strong prices. Prac-
tlcally al! the steers offered last week
went TO the country. very few being
forwarded to the other markets. Coun.
Try buyers were quite plentiful and
good trade Is expected from now on.
Hogs show very little change from a
week ago and tops are still selling
around 5000, with the range down to
s5.S5. The supply last week was light
and packers are in good shape to take
all that come this week.
The sheep trade was active to the
extent of the supply. About all the ar

PEACE NEGOTIATIONS
ANOTHER ADJOURNMENT HAD
Result Now Depends Solely on Action
of the Two Emperors1crisis
is Imminent.

Portsmouth. N. H., Aug. 2s.-The
life of the peace conference TODAY
seems to hang by a thread. but the
thread will not be broken to-day. AT
10 o'clock last night after a conference
between Mr.. Takahira and NJ. Witte
in the 1atter's room in the hotel annex.
lasting three-quarters of an hour. the
announcement of a postponement was
made.
NJ. Witte explained to the Associated
Press that Mr.. Takahira had told him
that no new instructions had reached
him from Toxic, and, fearing none
might be received before the meeting
scheduled for this afternoon, he had
suggested the propriety of postponing
the meeting until Tuesday. To this NJ /.
Witte said he had readily assented.
Mr.. Takahira made the following
statement to the Associated Press:
"Inasmuch as this conference was
initiated by the friendly office of your
President, after consultation we felt
that we should be cautious about ter
minating its labors.'
Pressed as to whether he regarded
the situation as hopeless, Mr.. Takahira
said:
mo, not hopeless, but almost hope
less"
This in itself, from one who has
spoken always in the most guarded
/fashion. is sufficient to show the des-
perateness of the situation. The real
crisis in negotiations is at hand. 1t is
very acute, but If it can be tided over
for few days without rupture. a
basis of peace acceptable to both sides
may come very suddenly. But to save
the situation now Japan must speak.
If on Tuesday she has nothing to offer,
all is over
M. Witte, even if he would. is power
less to take a new step. His hands
are tied. He now occupies the role of
an imperial messenger who transmits
his masters orders to Baron Komura,
and Baron Komura turns them over to
Toxic for the response.
The conference room has ceased to
be place for negotiations. 1t is sim
ply the place where the emperors of
the warning countries exchange their
communications by the hands of their
ENJOYS. And upon the point of in
demnity or reimbursement of "frais de
guerre," under any disguise, Emperor
Nicholas has given the Japanese en-
peror his last word.

VIII Furnish King for Norway.

Stockholm, Aug. 25.-AccordIng To
good authority. the feeling in govern
ment circles regarding the accession
by Bernadotte prince to the Norwe-
gian throne has undergone a complete
change. King Oscar no longer opposes
the acceptance of the crown by his son
Charles. As soon as the union be-
tween Norway and Sweden is dis
solved his answer will be given and It
probably will be Affirmative.

Block System for RaI!roa DIS.

There is bill before Congress
introduced by the Inter State
Com merce Com mission, making
it compulsory on all railroads
the adoption of the block system,
which means simply the main
tenance of a definite interval be
tween trains on a single track
enforced oy telegraphic orders
which forbid one train to enter
the block until the preceding
train has left it. This system is
universal in England where it is
supported by com puIsOry tech
nical precautions in the way of
fixed signals, levers, etc, and
the results in the saving of life
show as plainly as figures can
make them. John Sharp Viii
liams in a speech before Congress
stated that# last year we lost
more lives in the United States
by careless incompetency or some
other sort of railroad mis- man
agement than would be eXpend-
ed ia a small war, and that it was
im por;ant that the railroads
should become acquainted with
these appliances. The objection
made by railroad manager is
that il is expensive, although
It dep'ore the loss of life
n han they deplOre the f.
na separation to the families
of - dead which follows the
accidents. They admit the de-
STABILITY of the block system
and their only argument against
it is the expense.
This bill which will shortly be
introduced in congress pre-
scribes that the increased ex-
pense necessary for the con-
struction of signals, electrical
wires and other apparatus nee
essitated by the block system
shall be distributed over a term
of years, each road ompleting
one fourth of it's equipment an
nually until Oh January 1st, 1909
this basic principle of safe man.
agement applies to every foot of
railroad track in the United
States.
