A MavIsabIs Stream.

That the Fort Lyon canal is nsvi-
gable, and that the inhabitants of the
Arkansas Valley are in danger from
an invasion Of foreign wsrships at
some future time, has been demon
strstsd by Mr.. Vincent johnson.
Last week he launched . boat at the
hesdgste Of the canal and started on
. voyage of discovery that oontinu-
cd for three days, or until he landed
in the big reservoirs north of Lamar.
In these three days he had floated a
distance Of Ill miles, and had it not
been for the bridges and wire fences
that CROSS that waterway, the trip
would have been made in two days.
The boat was built by Mr.. johnson
and is Of heavy canvass and weighs
30 pounds. It is propelled by oars
which work along side the boat un-
der water. Mr.. johnson is q success
full mining man, is proprietor Of the
Aspen Daily Democrat, and has SER
we'd the people Of Pitkin county as
commissioner for three terms, and his
hobby is hunting, especially ducks
and small game. and that is what
brought him down from his noun
tain homs. Mr.. Vincent is not a new
conner in this land Of sugar beets.
Forty years ago he went through
here on his way 70 Trinidad, and the
year following he returned and a..
sisted in building the first three
houses erected in West Las Animas,
opposite Fort Lyon. and afterwards
he went to work for the government
at the Fort.-Bent County Democrat.

The force runs from sixteen to twen-

is already sold, and are working ON

Considerable new machinery has

convinced US that it is not only

in store for It, as its market for drain

After the state returning board had ad-
journed yesterday Peter c. Cannon, Esq.
requested, on behalf OF the governor, that
the Democratic watchers present be per-
mitted TO sign the seal placed upon the
door of the vault where the ballots arc
kept
Immediately Chairman Fitz and Sena-
tor-elect Lawton opposed the request, de-
claring they could sec no reason why the
board should recedc from the position II
took when 1t rendered It's unanimous de-
cision on the request for all-night watch
ers.
To this Mr. Cannon replied that the
board had already receded from IL in al
lowing Thomas ii. Donahue TO affix his
signature to the seal. and In explanation
Chairman Fltz said that 1t was done pc
cause he thought Mr.. Dorney, 1.-The minor
ity member" had gone. and he invited
Mr.. Donahue to sign in his place as a
representative of the minority party.
Mr.. Cannon called the boards attention
TO time when Il allowed him and Mr..
Broderick to sign the seals; and Chair
man Fitz fell back on his former reason
that the board did not wish to decide the
question finally until Mr.. Dorney could be
present but that at the next meeting.

BIG FINANCIERS
TO COOPERATE

Washington, Nov. 23.-The visit OF D.
Pierpont Morgan TO Secretary Corteiyou
and the president last night was gener-
ally accepted here today as evidence that
the financial leaders In New York intend
to cooperate with the Treasury depart
meat in making a success OF the new
loans.
The assurances brought by Mr. Morgan
in regard TO the Improvement in condl-
tions in New York with the subscriptions
which are still coming in for the new
loans, encourage the belief here that tho
corner has been turned In the monetary
situation. and that the banks throughout
the country will soon be able 10 resume
currency payments without restriction.
The enormous amount of gold which mas
arrived or been engaged, is felt TO De
rather more than sufficient TO restore
the New York banks TO a point or satety,
and IL is believed that after the opening
OF the bids for the Panama bonds the
situation will be such that further gold
imports will not be required.

OF continuing the present method of gov

Portugal into a hotbcd Of Republicans
and Anarchists, and which might end in
the overthrow of the monarchy.
King Carlos was greatly incensed and
ordered the crown prince into what Is
practically exile from the capital.
The kings action has caused great
sensation throughout the country. IL is
declared that the crown prince Is under
the influence of the Conservatives, who,
led by Senor Vilhena. desire the abdlca-

long terraces Of seats had been swept and

many THOUSAND additional seats were pro-

The turf was we'll rolled and entirely

this forenoon, and appeared unanimous
in their belief that their team would
win. Notwithstanding Yale's undoubted
strength and the recent Crimson defeats.
Still there was very little betting on the
game and what wagers were made, were
almost entirely on the size of the score

two teams had spent the night, were of

trainers had no hesitation i'm stating that

quantity of broken wood which had been
strewn about had been saturated

that after their quarrel husband and wife

wrote the letter and lay down where she
was shot and that the husband then re-
