Poultry Show at Denver.

Denver-The poultry show at Coli
scum hall is the largest ever given in
this city. The exhibits are so much
greater than ever before that the
whole floor space is given over to
fowls, the pigeons, cats and other pets
having TO take places in the gallery.
The attendance is in direct ratio with
the show, as the hall has been crowded
afternoon and evening.
Among the unique features are two
incubators in which the young chick
ems are breaking through the shells Of
their eggs to take their first view of Il
strange world. Crowds surround these
exhibits at all times, many being cur
ious to notice the little fellows break
the shells of their prison. The dis
play of cats is also unique, ranging
from the domestic tabby to strains on
which high prices are placed. A fea-
ture is an exhibit from the agricultural
college made up of models of chicken
coops, made by the students.

lSTHMUS PIPE LINE.
Secretary Taft Recommends Grant Of
Revocable License.

MISUNDERSTANDING Taft has
recommended to the President that he
saction the issue of a revocable license
to the Union Oil Company of Califor-
mia to construct and maintain pipe
line across the canal zone. There
were six applicants. but the company
named is the only one which specified
the price OF oil If used by the govern
ment, and whose offer was otherwise
sufficiently definite ana reasonable.
1t is, however, expressly provided
that the license shall not be exclusive,
so that other companies may hereafter
compete for the business. For its part
the company undertakes to pay $500
per month, to be applied to school pur-
poses in the canal zone, and also to
permit the government to draw upon
its pipe line at any point for oil at 80
cents per barrel.
Secretary Taft in his letter to the
President explains that this is about
equivalent for fuel purposes to Poca-
hoDtas coal at the present cost on the
isthmus of 81 per ton, so that the oil
may be used for all power purposes II
desired in the construction of the
canal. AS only refined oil Is carried
over the Panama railroad the secre-
tary does not fear that the transporta-
tion of crude oil by pipe would injure
the business of the railroad.
The company undertakes to com
plete the line by August list, next, and
to build in American shipyards suit
able tank steamers to supply, in addi-
ton to its present large fleet, the
necessary means of conveying the oil

SUGAR BEET nAlLRoAD.
Contract Let on Holly. Holbrook G Big
Bend Railroad. :.

Denrer.-A Republican special from
Holly says that contracts have been
let for the first ten miles of the Holly,
Holbrook & Big Bend railroad, which
will extend from Swink to Holly.
Work will begin by the end of this
week. Contracts let so far aggregate
over 100000.
The Holly Construction Company,
which will build the road. has abundant
capital at its disposal. and 1t is said
that over 100000 will be spent in
building the road and equipping it. The
road Will do a regular railway business
in fertile, though sparsely settled
country, which at the present time has
no railroad facilities. Traffic agree
ments have been made with the Santa
Fe company whereby cars for through
traffic will be handled on the latter's
lines
1t is the intention of the Holly Con
struction Company to use the road pri-
marily for connecting the beet sugar
factories of the Holly company and
transporting beets to them. The new
road will probably bring 10000 acres
Of. land within shipping distance. and
the farmers are giving it n free right
Of way. Contracts for more than H.
900 acres of beets have been signed
for the Swink factory, now under con
struction.
The Big Bend Telephone Company is
preparing to extend its lines to Holly,
along the line of the new road. The
price of land ut. the Holly country has
been raised s25 an acre. Even at this
increase, mccre than 500 a..cres of land
are being sold every week.

Orsaniet's Note Went Astray.

This il true story of lady
Drganist in church not a thousand
miles from Tilton, New Hampshire:
On going into church one morning
she noticed that new minister. a
stranger, was in the pulpit. Previous
TO this she had had considerable trou-
bic because the blowboy would let the
wind out of the organ when she needed
ii most. So she wrote n note, saying:
BLOW, blow hard; blow all the time
until tell you TO stop" and calling the
blowboy, gave it to him.
The boy, supposing the note was
meant for the minister,.without open
ing or reading it, carried it to the
pulpit. The minister's surprise and
the organist's confusion in conse.
quence were about equal.-Boston

BALFOUR Beaten
LIBERALS WIN GREAT VICTORY IN
BRITISH ELECTION.
KEEN POLITICAL CONTEST

Conservatives Lose Eighteen Seats
eaIfour Defeated in Manchester
District-Decisive Victory for Free
Trade.
London-The political map of Eng
land underwent a striking change as
the result of parliamentary elections
held Saturday in thirty-nlne constlt
hencies in widely-scattered but import
ant centers, in which the Liberals
gained eighteen seats. The Laborites
who are counted among the Liberal
gains, secured four new seats against
Unionist candidates.
In the eastern division of Manches-
ter, Arthur J. Balfour, the former pre-
mier, was defeated by T. G. Horridge.
Liberal. Mr.. Horridge secured the re-
markable majority of 1880. This VIC
tory was a decidedly sensational out
come of the days polling, and will, 1t is
believed, enormously effect the cleo
tions, which will continue for fort
night.
Winston Churchill. Liberal and Free
Trader, won the seat for the north
west division of Manchester from w.
Johnson Hicks, Conservative. by ma
jority of .241.
Everywhere the Liberal majorities
were increased, and the net result OF
the first days contest between the
great political parties was overwhelm-
ingly in favor of the present govern
ment.
Although only siXty-six seats are now
filled out of the go required for the
new Parliament which will meet at
Westminster February 18th, the COM
position of the house. as shown by the
i al. I'd t.Khf
follows: Liberals, SO; Unionists, IA;
Laborites, 6; Nationalsts, 7. This in
Guides twenty-four candidate who
were unopposed and the two candi-
dates elected at Ipswich Friday.
Political clubs received the returns
by special wires, and everywhere the
ilefeat of Mr.. Balfour was received as
most complete surprise. Then as
Liberal gain was added to Liberal gain
until the remarkable total of twenty
two seats, counting the Laborites, out
of thirty-nine constituencies was
reached, it was agreed that the Liberal
majority in the next Parliament
would show the overwhelming decis-
ion of the country.
Dispatches received from Manches-
ter say that the excitement there was
indescribable. Great crowds swarmed
the streets cheering and demonstrate
ing with the utmost enthusiasm.
Mr.. Balfour tonight addressed
gathering at the Conservative Club.
He acknowledged the gravity of the
disaster but predicted short life for the
Liberal government. He urged the
UDionists to continue to work for the
party and the future reversal of Sat
urday's results.
OF course, Mr.. Balfour will find an
other safe seat before the elections are
over, by one of the Unionist candidates
retiring in his favor. Up to the pres
ent. however, there is no indication
where the former premier will find this
place where he can secure n majority
which will enable him to take his seat
