cripple Creek pamaoe Suits.

Cripple Creek Colo. Aug. 13.-Two
big damage suits resulting from the
last strike and labor troubles incident
thereto were filed yesterday in the
District Court. Frank J. Hangs VS..
Nelson Franklin ct al is the title Of
the suit for the largest amount. The
complaint sets forth that on August
4, 1904, the plaintiff. who was attorney
for the Western Federation of Miners,
was deported by mob under the di-
rection of Franklin and others. Hangs
asks for $4,000 actual damages and
100000 exemplary damages.
The other suit is brought by B. F..
Bogart against r. B. Burbridge of the
Mine Owners Association ct al. The
plaintiff claims that there Is card
system and blacklist against all men,
bers of the Western Federation Of
Miners; that on June 25th last he was
given a Job on the Last Dollar mine
and became shift boss later, and that
August Sth the management of the
property was notified that he was on
the blacklist, and he was at once dis.
charged.
Bogart claims that because of the
blacklist he is unable to obtain employ
ment and asks for $4,000. The plain
tiff is represented by Attorney Hangs.

Tacit Armistice Prevails.

Portsmouth. N. H.. Aug. 1G.-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 Manchura 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 1t
is admitted on each side that If either
Oyama or Linevitch should deliber-
ately bring on 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 Linevtch might be the
signal for the final rupture. The un-
expected attack on Port Arthur might
be repeated below Harbin.

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 % meet the necessities, the re-
sources are completely exhausted.
Hunger deaths are Of daily occur
renee. Theft and pillaSe are common
and it is impossible to maintain order.
Not 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 exasperation at the govern
ment's inaction is becoming daily more
pronounced.

Danger to Moffat Road.

Denver, Aug. 15.-The Republican
this morning says: At the National Ir.
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, Colorado enterprise. The dele

intervene in the interest of the road.
The Gore Canon reservoir project of
the reclamation service is but one.
1t is charged that the agents of the
reclamation service intend to stake ont
"a reservoir site on Bear river, in this
state, and it has already been an
nounced from Washington that 200,-
900 acres of the 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.

Eagles Convention Welcomed.

Denver, Aug. 1G.-The convention of
the Fratcrnal Order of Eagles took up
its work yesterday. The public recep-
ton in the morning at the Tabor Grand
opera house was an occasion which set
J he Eagles on the wing and the Off
GERS and members of the grand aerie
were accorded great ovation.
About 100 officers of the grand
aerie occupied the stage. Mr.. Bell
made the opening welcome address,
making 4 very pleasing show of hos
pitalty to the delegates. Governor Nc
Donald was the first speaker, deliver
ing few brief remarks in an impress
Eiye manner. He was applauded by
the delegates and DR.. w. H. Sharpley
followed with few observations of Il
fraternal nature.
Mayor Speer welcomed the guests in
happy manner. He chose light. ia
cetious tone in addressing the dele
gates, which met with ready apprecia-
ton and closed with an invitation to
NIL 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.

Eagles Convention.

Denver, Colo, Aug. 15.-When the
Grand Junction Eagles arrived in Den
yer last night with live specimen of
the king Of American birds right from
the Colorado mountains. 1t 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 today 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 25,0O0.
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 it unless all signs fail.

PROSPECTS OF PEACE.
ENJOYS May Overcome the Great Din.
cuIties Confronting Them.

Portsmouth. n. H., Aug. 13.-There
is rift in the clouds. The prospects
of a successful issue of the Washing
ton conference" have frightened some
what as result of yesterdays devel
opments. The discussion of the terms
submitted by Japan has actually be-
gun, but this has been accomplished by
postponing the consideration of the
two main issues-indemnity and the
cession Of Saghalin. So far as ascer-
tainable, the Japanese were RESPONSE
Bile for the tactics by which this hope
full stage was entered upon.
AS the mantle of secrecy has been
thrown around the proceedings by mu
tual pledges not to divulge what hap
pened within the council chamber,
there are missing links in the chain of
evidence and it is impossible to judge
whether this signifies a backdown on
S..ther side of the main points.
On the face Of things both sides are
still as uncompromising as ever upon
the two issues, the struggle over them
being merely postponed.

Japan and other oriental countries.
Machinery also showed an increase
in 1905 of more than $60O0,000 over

NORWAY FOR SEPARATION.
AIms=e Unanimous Vote for DissoIu.
tion of Union With Sweden.

Christiania. Aug. 13.-The Norwe-
gian people. in a referendum vote
taken to-day, pronounced in favor of
the dissolution of the union with Swe-
den with remarkable though not un-
expected unanimity. OF 100000 voters
800 900 cast ballots.
While the full result will not be
known for some hours. up to midnight
returns showed that about one person
in 1000 voted against the dissolution.
The difference between the total num-
Der of voters and the number of votes
cast is attributed to absentees, such
as sailors abroad and others who are
out of the country at present.
There we're scenes of the greatest
enthusiasm everywhere. Thousands of
women who did not have the right of
franchise signed petitions in the
streets endorsing the dissolution. In
Christiania and other cities the total
population turned out every one wear
ing long streamers of the national col
ors and pictures of Premier Michel
sen.
One OF the members of the Cabinet
said to the Associated Press tonight:
THE result surpasses the most san
guine expectations. The next official
steps will be taken after the Storthing
meets on August 21st. when the result
of the plebiscite viii be communicated
to Sweden through the Swedish Cabi-
net and the Rigsdag"

TWO MORE ARTICLES.
Peace ENJOYS Make Further Progress
in Their Work.

Portsmouth, N. H.. Aug. 1G.-The
crisis in the peace negotiations upon
which the eyes of the world are fas-
tened is approaching rapidly and the
| end of this week or the first of next at
| the latest should witness the deadlock
and she end, if the conference is to
go to pieces.
Two more of the twelve articles.
numbers four and six, were disposed
of yesterday. Article four consists of
| mutual pledges to observe the integ-
rity of China and the policy of the
open door" for the commerce of all
nations, and article six covers the sur
render of the Russian leases TO the
Liaotung peninsula. Port Arthur.
Dalny and the Blonde and Elliott
islands.
To article four both parties gave
ready assent. and the official state
ment of the adoption OF that article
took care to state that it was agreed
to unanimously.
Article five, the consideration of
which was postponed until later pro-
vides for the cesson of the island Of
Saghalin. Discussion appearing use
less at this stage on account of the
firm negative given in the Russian re-
ply, it was decided, upon the motion
of the japanese, to defer its discus
sion, thus revealing the japanese in
tention of postponing to the end the
life and death struggle.
This is the usual procedure followed
in diplomatic negotiations, enabling
the negotiators to come to an accord
upon all possible points before tack.
ling the crucial issues, and the fact
that the Russians acquiesced in the
proposition shows that they too are
as careful and as anxious as are the
japanese that the world should not ac-
cuse them of being responsible for pre-
cipitating the break, if break there is
to be. and wrecking the conference.
This in itself is hopeful sign. Be-
sides, by postponing the burning ques-
tion to the end, the psychological mo-
ment for bargain and compromise ar
rives. Then hurriedly the last trump
cards and the game is done.

PEACE NEGOTIATIONS
SOME PROGRESS BEING MADE
Three Out Of Twelve Articles Agreed
to-panoer Point May Soon
Be Reached.

Portsmouth. N. H.. Aug. 15.-Al.
though very rapid progress was made
with tho peace negotiations yesterday.
three Of the twelve articles which con-
stitute the Japanese conditions OF
peace having been agreed to by M.
Witte and Baron Rosen on behalf Of
Russia, neither Of the two articles to
which M. Witte In his reply returned
an absolute negative was reached.
The crisis, therefore, Is still to come.
1t may be reached to-day. as the ces-
sion Of Saghalin comes fifth in the list.
The three ARTICLES" as they are Of
f1cially designated in the brief COM
munications authorized to be given to
the press. which were disposed Of yes
terday. are in substance as follows:
First-Russia's recognition Of ia
pans ''preponderating influence" and
special position in Korea, which Russia
henceforth agrees is outside of her
sphere Of influence, Japan binding her
self to recognize the suzerainty Of the
reigning family, but with the right to
give advice and assistance to improve
the civil administration Of the empire.
Second-Mutual obligation to evacu-
ate Manchuria, each to surrender all
special privileges in that province, mu-
tual obligation to respect the terrific
rial integrity" OF China and to maintain
the principle Of equal opportunity of
all nations in that province (open
door,.
Third-The cession to China of the
Chinese Eastern railroad from Hardin
southwark.
There was never any question about
the acceptance on the part Of M. Witte
of these articles" the first two COW
ering in most emphatic form the con-
tentions of Japan in the diplomatic
struggle which preceded hostilities.
The third is natural consequence
of the result of the war. The cession
of the railroad, the building Of which
cost Russia an immense sum, estt-
mated by some at between $780,
100000 and $2O0,OOO,0OO, is to go to
China. Japan and China, therefore,
will arrange between themselves the
method by which the former is to be
remunerated and through this f1han-
ctal operation Japan might have very
considerable portion of her claims for
the expenses Of the war" liquidated.

acres.
Following is the Interior Depart
ment's 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

Vestigation, made report to the secre-
tary Of the Interior recommending that
certain described lands, covering over
10000 acres. including a large guam
ttty 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

nation Of August 3, 1905. Subse-
quently, complaints having reached the

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

the act authorized their reservation
for agricultural development which
was specifically stated in 1t. The act

vaLion 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

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

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.
