PRAISES ROOSEVELT.
High Tribute From C0ngressmqn Pat
 fereou of Tennessee.

terson of Tennessee,
 Memphis, Tenn, June 10.--1n an ad- dress tonight at the annual banquet of the N. B. Forrest Camp, Sons of Confed- crate Veterans. Congressman Malcolm R. Patterson of this district paid a high tribute to President Roosevelt. The subject of MT. Patterson's address was The Duty of Son of Confederate Soldier to His Country" and in the course of his remarks he touched upon the sentiment of the South towards the President. Referring to the feeling en- gendered among Southern people by the attitude of the President towards the race problem Mir. Patterson in prefac- ing his expressions of esteem of Mir. Roosevelt said:
 His (the President's) many acts of conciliation and courtesy to the South eru people have convinced me as 1t has others that what appeared as an inten- tional insult to our race pride was re- ally inadvertant and motivelesz.y
 Mir. Patterson's remarks were warm iy applauded. Following is Mir. Pat terson's reference in full to the Presi- dent:
 We lose nothing in being just even to our political opponents. for in jus tice we are rendering the best service to our industriais. felt keenly as you did and resented perhaps with acrimony the conduct of President Roosevelt in receieving negro on social terms but the absence of irritation under the scathing fire of criticism and his many acts of conciliation and courtesy to the Southern people have convinced me, as it has others, that what appeared as an intentional insult to our race pride was really inadvertant and motiveless. As the son of a Confederate soldier, speaking to sons of Confederate soldiers. my own sentiment is expressed and yours. too, believe, in the wish that on his intended tour through the South the President of the United States will meet with warm welcome in all parts Of the old Confederacy which he may visit, for he has fairly won our regard as the chief magistrate of all the people"

DIPLOMATIC TRIUMPH.
ROoseveIt's Achievement In the Pres
 ent Great Crisis.

ROosevelt'a Achievement In the Pres-
 ent Great Crisis.
 St. Petersburg, June l0.-(3:15 ?. m. ) The text of President Roosevelt's per sonaI appeal to the sovereigns of the warning countries to arrange a meet ing of the plenipotentiaries for the pur- pose of agreeing on terms of peace, which arrived here this morning, rent the veil, and for the skeptics at St. Petersburg who refused to believe Pres ident Roosevelt's eoffrts to bring the belligerents together could succeed, 1t came like q bombshell.
 President Rooseyelt's sole purpose to bring about meeting has been achiev- ed. and now it Is merely a question whether the results will be the peace for which the whole civilized world will pray.
 It is a diplomatic triumph of the first magnitude, and the diplomats here make no attempt to conceal their ad- miration of the New World brand of diplomacy, which acts while the re- mainder of the world thinks.
 The formal replies of Russia and Ja- nan are expected to be transmitted through Count Cassini, the Russian ann bassador at Washington. and Mir. Ta- kahira, the Japanese minister at Wash ington, but the situation is such at this hour as to leave no doubt of the accept ance of both, and the question of the selection of plenipotentiaries and the place of meeting will follow.
 President Roosevelt's expression in favor of direct negotiations exclusively between the belligerents points straight to the battlefield in Manchuria as the scene of negotiations and the diplomats here generally entertain the view that Russia and Japan had best settle their quarrel there beyond the range of pos- slble outside influence.
 To the policy of non-lnterference practically all the powers are conn mitted. Great Britain, it is felt here in diplomatic circles. will now complete the realization of what the President has begun by restraining her ally and inducing Japan to proffer moderate terms which Russia can accept.

Replies From Both Powers Are Received at
 Washington. WILL PROBABLY BE
 MADE PUBLIC TODAY The Warning Governments Express Sincere
 Gratitude. Interesting Fact Resardins Negotia- tions is Infuenee Brought to Bear by France-Czar Pre- fers That Sessions Be
 Held at Paris.

washington, June 10.--Japan's ac- ceptance of the Presidents offer of @good will' has reached the State De- partment in a cablegram from Minis ter Griscom. Russia's reply followed later but not in time to be deciphered tonight, It is expected that both will be made public tomorrow.
 Japan's acceptance reached the State Department several hours ahead of Russia's reply. Had the cabiegram from Ambassador Meyer reached here before the Department closed there is a strong probability that both would have been made public today. No word regarding their character can be obtained beyond the important fact that both are acceptances and both express the gratitude of the respec- tive governments for the Presidents offer of good will.
 An interesting fact regarding the negotiations of the last week is the power of the influence brought to bear on Russia by France to accept the offer of the President and appoint pIenipotentiaries and discuss peace with Japan. M. Jusserand. the French Ambassador. was informed by the President of every move and kept Paris thoroughly in touch with the Presidents efforts from the first.
 From an authoritative official source, 1t is learned today that 1t has been practically determined that the pleni- potentiaries of Japan and Russia for the determination of peace terms, will hold their sessions in Washington.
 Oficials in Washington who have closely followed the negotiations by the President to bring about peace be- tween Japan and Russia. expect the next move will be a request for an ar mistice, as 1t is not thought probable that hostilities will continue after plen- lpotentiaries are named to arrange peace terms.
 continuation of hostilities even after a peace conference has begun, 1t would be unusual and the belief is expressed that both Japan and Russia had al- ready desisted from further aggressive movements even before the suggestion of the President was suggested. It is thought here that the United States Government will be the medium of com munication until some diplomatic chan mel is established between the bellig- erent nations.

PARIS CHARS CHOICE.
He Would Prefer the Peace NegotIa-
 tions There.

St. Petersburg, June 10.-Paris is Russia's choice for the opening of peace negotiations. If Japan insists upon Manchuria or Washington. Rus sia will doubtless agree, but Paris is preferred and the Emperor already is prepared to issue instructions to M. Nelidoff, the Ambassador to France, to act as pleniopentiary to receive the Japanese conditions. The Russian gov ernment has communicated to the ad- ministration its consent to the publi- cation of Russia's reply to President Roosevelt's appeal. at the same time thank the President warmly for the friendly and lofty spirit in which it was conceived.
 The Associated Press is now able to give some additional inteTNSting details of the extraordinary council presided over by the Emperor which met recently at Tsarskoe-Selo ana at which the practical although not final decision was taken to terminate the war if the conditions were not too onerous.

bassador to the United States, proba- bly representing Russia. It is also understood that Russia now admits in principle that the demand for indem- nifty is justified.
 It is suggested that the terms of Japan will probably also include the acknowledgement of Japanese pro- tectorate over Korea, the total evacu- ation of Manchuria. the handing over of Russian interests on the Liao Tung peninsula and at Port Arthur to Japan. and the cession of the railroad from Port Arthur to Harbin. The question of the island of Sakhalin will also be raised. It is thought that the amount of indemnity which will be demanded by Japan will depend in some measure on other conditions. If these are con sidered such as will insure a durable peace the indemnity will be less than it otherwise would be.

 demBity.
 London, June 10.-The keenest inter est is manifested in President Ronse- velt's note endeavoring to bring Japan and Russia to an understanding.
 While the British Government is not taking any part in the negotiations, it is giving the most cordial support to the President, of whose actions In the matter it has been kept fully informed. Diplomatic and official circles speak in the highest terms of the diplomatic manner in which the President handled the matter and are fully in accord with what they considered to be the only way in which the difficulty could be overcome.
 The United States not being entan- RIed in any way, was really the only country which could take action, but even President Roosevelt could not do more than endeavor to start direct ne- gotiations between the belligerents. Japan, r. can be stated, refused to start the negotiations until fully as- sured of the earnestness of Russia and that her proposals would be seriously considered
 Her demands will include an indem- nfty the amount of which has been fixed by the Japanese Government, and on this point the President is urging ienIent treatment. It is considered here ' and 1t is pointed out that while the pay ment of an indemnity might affect the standing of Russia among the powers 1t is not so serious as the loss of ter rftory. Besides the payment of an in- demnfty would be forgotten sooner than the loss oft territory and would leave no feeling for revenge. Finan- cial circles in London are of the opir- ion that the Japanese will demand an indemnity amounting to about s1,o00,- 100000. that being their estimate of the Japanese of the sixteen months fight ing. This is considered in some quar- ters to be too large an estimate of the expenditure, which is thought to be nearer $500, ,0OC. 1000.

T.. which was sent to this city to make protest against the enforcement of the Creek Indian tribal tax law was in conference with Secretary Hitch cock for an hour tonight but failed to receive any assurance of abandonment of the Secretary's plans for the collec- ton of the tax.
 The visitors confined their represent ations to a request for the suspension of all proceedings by the Department until the test case now before the Su- preme Court of the United States could be decided. The Secretary replied that such a course would almost certainly result in such delay as would defeat the collection of the tax. w. T.

GOOD CATTLE SCARCE
Light Receipts Cause Firmness
on Good Beef

Denver Union Stock Yards, July
3l.-There was very good supply Of
cattle at all points today but the
run was not as large us the trade eX-
pected The tone of the market was
stronger than last week although
there was no very material advance
in values. That there is something
radically wrong with the beef de-
mand was clearly evidenced by last
weeks trading. With light receipts
ut all points the market failed to
show the improvement expected. and
it is safe to say that had the run
been as heavy As the preceding
week, another decline would have
been the result. Eastern markets
reported very light supply of good
choice beef steers and cows and
prices strong to 10 cents higher.
Fair to good and medium grades,
however, We're no more than steady
and in most cases little lower,
while feeders and stockerS closed
weak to dime lower. On the local
market there were very few good
cattle offered Packers had some
good steers left over from the week
before, and also got several loads of
choice contract stuff. For this rea
son they were rather indifferent buy
ers of the half fat kinds offered and
trading was slow and dull. Prices

TROUBLES OF JUDGE.
Magistrate Willard Grinds out
Justice to Offenders

Saturday Magistrate Willard sent
Miss Emma Little to the jug for
thirty days on a charge of assault.
Now he is being roasted by some
good Greeley women for his lack OF
gallantry in sending woman to
Jail. 1t seems from the evidence
offered, that Bert Phelps, who has
wife and child, is sweet on Miss
Little when he shouldn't be. Ac-
cording to the story his earnings go
TO buy nice things for the Little
woman, while his wife has had to
file suit against him for non-support.
Saturday Phelps and his wife and
child were passing through the park
when they met the Little woman,
who butted in on family affairs, and
wound up by slapping the wife i'll
the face. Judge thought, as the
law gave him discretion in the mat
lor of punishment, that he would
send her to jail to cool oil. Phelps
was already under bond to support
his wife but skipped his bond Satur-
day night and has hit the road for
parts unknown. 1t is to be regretted
that he could not have a jail sent
ence running into next summer. In
this connection: Did you ever
notice that woman will roast an
erring sister and say meaner things
about her than any man dare say,

Rid City of Vags.

Judge Southard has a new idea
and we believe it is good one.
The vag problem is one of the most
serious Of Weld county's troubles.
The demand for farm labor here is
very heavy and frequently exceeds
the supply. The vags are just as
plentiful as real laborers are scarce,
yet among them are to he found men
who are honestly hunting for work.
Judge Southard's idea is that the
farmers shall cooperate with the
city and county authorities, and re-
port every man who refuses to work,
or is so tinicky about the sort of lob
he takes at to amount to the same
thing. Then the county authorities

them good stitf sentences, to be

that pretty soon this would be a
mecca for men who really wanted
work, and at the same time a terror
for the sure-enough vags.

Heading This Way.

An electric car line from Denver
to Boulder, to be built with the
ultimate intention of continuing it
to Cheyenne, is the latest invest
ment considered by eastern capital
lists who wish to place their money
in Colorado.
This new plan has been under con-
sideration for months, and the
hackers of the enterprise have gone
so far as to have route surveyed.
The proposed line runs directly up
the valley between the Colorado &
Southern and Union Pacific roads
and will 60 into Boulder through
Louisville Junction.
1t is at Louisville that the pro-
posed power house will be built. 1t
was through this that the fact that
the Car line was proposed became
public. Several capitalists from
Pittsburg quietly opened negotia-
tions with Joseph Walker, who owns
100 acres of coal land near Louis
vile, and it was learned that they
wanted to establish the plant right
at the mine to do away with the cost
of hauling. Rocky Mountain News.

Motor Cars for Greeley.

1t is understood from reliable
sources that the Union Pacific has
let the contract for a number of the
motor care such as made few trial
trips out of Greeley last spring, and
that these cars when finished will be
run on its branch lines and on SUBJ
urban service. Greeley will get one
of the new cars, and the time of
running between here and Denver
will be made two hours instead of
two and half. The new cars will
hold about fifty passengers comfort
ably. 1t is also admitted by Mr..
Hartman that the Union Pacific
is to be double tracked, and Greeley
will probably get her share of that,
in time.
