King Reviews Scotch Troops.

Edinburg, Scotland, Sept. 2O.-The
greatest muster of Scotchmen under
arms since the battle of Flodden field
was reviewed by King Edward here
monday. The king arrived at the
Scottish, capital in the morning and
proceeded to holyrood palace, whence,
attended by the Duke of Connaught
and brilliant staff, he rode to the
parade ground in Kings park, where
nearly 10000 Scotch volunteers
marched past his majesty.
Enormous numbers of visitors from
all parts of Scotland and the north of
England witnessed the review, which
is expected to assist in counteracting
the extreme irritation felt in volunteer
circles over recent worrying regula-
tions of the war Office.
During the march past, Sir Thomas
Upton, who is honorary colonel of the
Second Lancashire engineers, was
leading his regiment past the king
when his horse threw him and Sir
Thomas was kicked in the face. His
injuries are most serious.
Sir Thomas injuries consisted of a
cut mouth and bruised shoulder and
arm. He was unseated owing to a
sudden swerve of his horse, although
he is good rider. The king sent an
equerry to Sir Thomas hotel to inquire
about his condition.

Santa Fe's New Line.

Chicago, Sept. 2O.-Western floods
caused the Santa Fe railroad loss of
more than s2000,000 in the fiscal year
Just closed. This is stated in the an.
nual report, made public yesterday,
showing gross earnings amounting to
more than $6S,000,000.
With regard to the Santa Fe's new
line, it is said that
work Is progressing at three points,
and 1t is expected that the entire line
will be completed this year. This line
will be somewhat shorter than the
route by way OF Trinidad, will avoid
two mountain ranges between Trinidad
and Albuquerque, and will be less ex.
posed to interruption by freshets. The
company is projecting road from
Wickenburg, Arizona, across the Colo
RADIO river to Bengal, on the main line

Philadelphia, Sept. 20.-The real

began Monday, when various resolu:
tions for new legislation and amend.
ments to the present laws were intro
duced at the session. Discussion will
take place on the question of saffilia.
tion with Manchester Unity. There is
considerable objection to the PROPOSE.
ton, since it would admit negroes to
membership.
Chief interest in to-day's session
centered about the question of the liq
uor traffic as being bar to member.
ship in the organization. The report,
which was approved by the body in
session, decides, in brief, that no one
can remain member of lodge who
is engaged in the liquor business in
any way, unless he were member. and
SO engaged and has been continually
since the first ruling was made at the
1895 convention at Atlantic City.
A feature of the conclave was the
parade of Odd Fellows this afternoon.
The line of march covered a distance
or more than three miles and it is esti
mated that $1,000 men were in line.
Captain Allie Parker and her Califor.
mia drill corps, consisting of seventeen
young women, occupied a position
near the head Of the line.

TICKET BROKERS LOSE
WHO HANDLED G. A. r. TICKETS
Judge Dixon of Pueblo Imposes Heavy
Fines-RaiIroads Cannot Be Kept
Out OF Court for Failure
to Pay Tax.

Pueblo, Colo, Sept. 2O.-The three
defendants cited to appear before
Judge Dixon and answer to a charge
of contempt of court in having dis
obeyed the injunction against dealing
in Grand Army tickets, were yesterday
fined in the sum of $3.50 each. Thomas
May of Pueblo and William Schubach
and l. G. We'll of Denver were the men
fined. The case of A. ]. Parks, also a,
Denver broker, was continued until;
Monday. The three men signified their
Intention of paying their fines at once.
The testimony went to show that
spoilers had been hired by the rail-
way companies to purchase tickets
from these brokers'. One of these was
, Mrs. 7. Nj. Slusser, who, after several
attempts, succeeded in buying Rock
Island ticket from the Pueblo broker.
The Denver men were caught in the
same manner and in one instance by
the same woman.
J. F. Crawford, Colorado Springs
broker who had been cited, was the
last defendant examined. The testi-
mony in his case revealed the fact that
he had not been named in the restrain
ing order and that he had sold tickets
upon the advice of Judge Orr of Colo
RADIO Springs, who told him he was
safe in doing so under the circum-
stances. Crawford was discharged.
! In announcing his decision in the
contempt proceedings Judge Dixon
delved deeply into the law and pre-
vious rulings. Regarding the charge
that the railway companies had not
paid their fiat tax, Judge Dixon said
that the state had forfeited its right
to keep them from coming into court
by not bringing proceedings to compel
them to pay the tax. He said:
Il concede the Legislature the right
to pass laws governing corporations,
but deny the Legislature the right to
pass judgment on it's own laws, so
made. To merely state that these
roads cannot come into court because
| they have failed to pay this tax, would
be divesting them of vested property
rights without any process of law at
all, and that cannot be done"
Among the railroad representatives
who were present at the contempt pro-
ceedings hearing were S. X. Hooper,
general passenger agent of the Rio
Grande; c. B. Sloat, general agent of
the Rock Island; T. e. Fisher, general
passenger agent of the Colorado &
Southern; George Ady, general agent
of the Union Pacific; N. Underhill of
the Colorado Passenger Association,
and ]. F. Vallery, general agent of the
| Burlington.
