Story Was Correct.

1t now transpires that w. A. Whit
ney was offered the superintendent
of the Union depot at Denver, and
hat he did present his resignation to
the Denver and Rio Grande as super
~intendent of the Grand Junction divis-
ion, as told in The Republican several
weeks ago and vehemently denied by
the Cheyenne papers. AS soon as the
resignation was presented Mr.. Whit
ney was assured that the Denver and
Rio Grande would not permit his re-
tirement without an effort, and so a
better position was offered him, the
resignation being then withdrawn.
The information in The Republican
was correct to a syllable.

Democrats to Fight CorteIyou,

Washington, D. c., Dec. 1.-THE
democrats in the senate have decided
to make a fight on the president in
regard to his cabinet nominations. The
two who are objected to are Cortelyou,
who, as chairman Of the republican ma,
tional committee, is not regarded from

and Mr. Bonaparte, who is objected to

Will Change Star Route.

1t is practically certain that when
the Laramie Plains line has been com
pleted TO Centennial and train service
established, as it certainly will be
early next year, the star route from
this city to Centennial and Keystone
will be changed and the mail service
to Centennial given to the railroad
company, necessitating the establish
ment of a new star route from Cen
tennial. This will be the only route
from the railroad terminus, as far as
can be seer now, as to leave Centen-
NAL in any direction is an uphill and
roundabout way.

Message on Porto Rico.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 1.-THE
president today sem to congress a
message on Porto Rico, in which he
advocates certain reforms based on
the report of the governor of Porto
Rico, which he also transmits. The
president holds that all the insular
governments should be placed in one
Bureau, either in the department of
war or the department of state.
Should Gain by Experience.
ut is a mistake not to so arrange
our handling of these islands at Wash
ington as to be able to take advantage
of the experience gained in one when
dealing with the problems that from
time to time arise in another.
Compliments Congress.
I'm conclusion, let me express my
admiration for the work done by the
congress when it enacted the law I'M
der which the island Is now being ad-
ministered. After seeing the island
personally, and after five years ex
~perience, it is but fair to those who
devised this law to say that it would
be well nigh impossible to have de-
vised any other which, in the actual
working, would have accomplished bet.
