The r'lmors in Telluride yesterday
that all of keystone mill on the south
side from the railroad track to the
river had tumbled into the river was
a mistake and big one. The
benches at the bottom or base of the
hill next to the river are broken up
good deal worse than ever-more

old ones are widening.
Yesterday part of one of these
benches slid into the river and You

the soft dirt having washed away
from it.
While the hill slides north only six
| or eight feet per day 1t sinks straight
down more than double that distance.
Roadmaster Jones is on the hill vita
his force of Japs and Italians. and by
series of stakes driven in a straight
| row each morning he can tell how far
the hill slides in day and night by
the distance these stakes get out oi
line, and so can anyo6e else who takes
the trouble to sight across them. The
railroad grade across the slide where
| trains formerly ran is at least 100
| feet down the hill in one place and In
others it ranges from that to so feet
New fissures are opening daily and
the hill is getting sleeper.
A trail is being built across the
slide 80 feet above the two others
made. 1t is on a grade with the ends
of the track and is made for the con
venience of those who ride the stub

trail 1t costs the company quite a
sum of money, as some 10 or u men
are kept there constantly.
The Western Union Telegraph com.
pany will have to move its wires
across the gulch on the wagon road
side, OF else they will be in trouble
all of the time, as the sliding ground
is constantly moving the poles, NJ.

from Denver will be in tonight, and
together they will move the wires to
some permanent place. The wires
are now run on tree stumps and small
trees across the slide. but they are
| moving all the time and the wires
Will soon go down.
After q while when the hill drops
more the hugs boulders which have
been dropping from the cliffs for ages
will commence to roll. as they are
relieved of their resting place of soil
and then there will be something do
ing all the time.
The slide gets worse and worse
daily and is one Of the sights of the
age.

Residents to Petition For An
Extension.
At Present Ward Is Touched Only ON
West and South by Branches Of
System.
THICKLY SETTLED COMMUNITY

Another street car line extension ds
called for. This time the residents of
the First ward feel the need of ac-
commodations and the inclination to
support the line. They are preparing
petition to the street railway COM
pany, setting forth the advantages TO
the company, by reason Of increased
patronage.
The First ward includes that terri
tory north OF Trimble street. which at
present is touched only on two sides,
by the Rowlandtown on the west. and
the Trimble street line on the south
For ten blocks north OF Trimb.e
street thickly populated settlement
extends between Twelfth street and
the river, and the distance the ma
jority OF the residents must travel
now to reach car Is considered IN
reasonable by many of them.
They point out the fact that the
proposed line win reach as thickly
settled community as would the Me-
chanicsburg route. without the diff
culties and expenses of the latter.
The First ward is distinctly a resi-
dence section and the majority of the
inhabitants work i'm some distant part
of the city. This would be a factor
to be considered by the company in
estimating the profit of such an ex-
tension.
The cars could easily be run out
Sixth street from Trimb,e street,
crossing the railroad by the freight
depot and tapping the heart of the
First ward. There are several avail
able routes. The petition will be pre-
sented to Manager Bleecker in a
short time.

London July as Al the inter-
parliamentary conference Baron D.
Estournelles DE Constant. head of
the French delegation, subsequently
opened the debate on the limitation
of military and naval forces. He de
clared that II the powers were unde-
cided among themselves how to act
for their common interests, they
would be forced to do so. first by
bankruptcy and then by revolution.
He said that limitation of ornaments
had no connection with the ehimera
of disarmament. Tue arguments
against disarmament were based on
the augmented expenditure of the
power.
The augmentations in the United
States we're due to the unfortunate
example Of Europe. but in proportion
to the population, the American for
ces had not been increased unreason-
ably. and the expenditure had been
augmented proportionately. the ar
maments proving the inaptitude of
the Americans to transform them
selves into a nation of soldiers. Ger
many. continued the baron, commits
the grave fault Of struggling with the
United States for naval pre-eminence,
and thus divides her energies both
on land and sea uselessly, for the
American states were united and in
accessible. while the states of Eu-
rope were divided and will always
be menaced by the possibility OF a
coalition against them.
Congressman d. I. ID. Granger OF
Rhode Island. was elected vice-presi-
dent of the American delegation for
the coming year and Congressman
Richard Bartholdt of Missouri. and
T. e. Burton of Ohio, were elected
members of the International council.

St. Petersburg, July 25.--The way
has been prepared for a military die
tatorship by proposition now under
consideration at Peterhof to create an
advisory council to assist the emperor.
Premier Stolypin. Gen. Trepoff and
Others are today comforting with the
emperor on this subject.
On the surface the scheme Is to
form such a council out of the men,
bers Of the council of the empire and
Conservatives and Liberals like M.
Shipoff and NJ. Guchkoff. and also,
possibly, several Constitutional Demo-
cratic leaders with the purpose of re-
assuring the population of the sim
cerity of the governments future in
tentions.
White nominally the council would
retain the authority, the camarilla
would gradually absorb Its power and
exercise a virtual dictatorship.
Domiciliary searches continue in
all quarters of the capital the prisons
are already filing and the old blind
system of attempting to conceal from
the people what is happening has been
adopted.

been re-estabhshed with vigor UNI
