FIRST PROTEST UNDER NEW LAW
Minnesota Shipper Calls Upon New
Colorado Railroad Commission.

Denver.-The first protest under the
new railway rate law has been filed
with Governor Buchtel, and will be
taken up by the commission as soon
as it is organized for business.
The protest comes from man at
Cass Lake, Minnesota, whose name is
withheld, as the governor decided it
would not be advisable to disclose the
identity OF the shipper in case of
this kind. 1t has not been decided
whether this will be permanent pol
icy Of the board.
The Denver & Rio Grande is the
railway against which the first COM
plant is lodged. In his communica-
tion to Governor Buchtel the shipper
says he was charged $1.30 on 100
pounds Of honey from Delta to Pueblo,
when the rate from Grand Junction to
Minneapolis for this consignment as
per schedule. was only SLIT per 100
pounds. 8
The shipper says he demonstrated
with the road. but could get no re-
dress, and asks the governor to in
vestigate the matter. His letter fol-
lows:

Colorado. weight 130 pounds.
The charges were s3.13, as to be
seen from bill enclosed.

they replied that they charged me

That looks like express rates-like
slkinning.
IL freight rate from Minneapolis to
Grand Junction is only SLIT per 100
pounds, why can they charge that
much between Delta and Pueblo?
Please investigate and try to get a
refund. and oblige.
The railway rate law will not go into
effect until July 1st, as the bill did not
carry an emergency clause The gov
ernor has selecte the members of the
commission, but will not appoint them
until about the time the law becomes
operative.

Panic Ended-confidenee Restored.

New York-That the panic in
stocks is ended and that the worst
has been seen in business and in the
stock market was the general opinion
of leading financiers.
Frank A. Vanderlip. Senator w A.
Clark, Hamilton Fish. Edward H. Har-
riman. Jacob Schiff, Jefferson NJ Levy,
Ebert H. Gary and John W. Gates
were among those who were willing to
express their opinions publicly. Other
financial leaders of equal prominence
spoke freely on the subject, but did
not care TO be quoted. because, they
said, the situation needs nursing.
Absolute confirmation was secured
of the reported conference among lead
ing financiers, who agreed that the
time had come for all to stand together
and prevent further panics. They
agreed that there was nothing wrong
in fundamentals, and that by coming
out boldly in support of the govern
ment in its policy regarding the cor
porations they could stop the excited
selling of stocks and turn the public
mind back into pursuit OF prosper
ity once more.

COLORADO NEWS ITEMS
To Stop All Political Fusion.

A bill that has passed on the second
reading in the Senate, and which bids
fair to get through on final reading, cal.
culated to prohibit fusion of any kind
in elections, is creating considerable
stir among the lawmakers.
This bill, which was introduced by
Representative Watson. prohibits the
appearance on the ballot of any name
on more than one ticket, and provides
that If candidate should be named by
two parties, the votes shall not be
cumulative. For instance, if candi-
date for sheriff on the Republican
ticket should be named for the same
position by an independent, Prohibi-
tion or other party, the votes cast by
each party would not be added to OBJ
tain his vote, but he would have to
stand or lose on the vote on any one
ticket.

Old Cook Burned to Death.

Pueblo. Colo.-The charred body OF
George Marshall, aged sixty.fve years,
a colored cook who recently came here
from Denver, was found in the ruins of
the Protho lodging house. which wa.
destroyed by fire at O'Clock Monday
morning. Whether Marshall was over
come by smoke and was suffocated be.
fore he could escape. or met with foul
play has not yet been determined
Either theory might be accepted at
this time. The fire was of an incen-
diary origin.
The Protho was frame structure
and the fire gained such headway by
the time the fire department arrived
that It was impossible to save the
building. There were number Of
other dodgers In the building besides
Marshall, but all OF them escaped.

Getting the First Thousand.

Get the first $1,000. After that
money making is easy" This is the
old-time sage advice of the hard
headed, self-made man. That axiom
has set many men to saving. They
fix upon that sum as the glittering,
far-off herald of a fortune some time
to be made. To a man on a small
salary, say out Of which something
can be saved weekly without too
much deprivation-the advice is good.
TEere is something in it that acts as
a stimulus to economy, declares the
Denver Republican. And who will
deny that economy is a good thing or
that any truth that lights the way to
1t should not be known? Many men,
therefore, have been buoyed up in
their economies by the belief that the
Arst $1,000 is the hardest to gel, and
that afterward all the rest would be
easy and the good things of the world
that follow a bounteous supply of
money would be within easy reach.

1t will certainly be news to most
people. says the London Globe, that
New York is a short cut for kilograms
between London and Paris and Lon
don and Berlin. However, the fact is
vouched for. The messages are re-
ceived at an agreed address in New
York and are Immediately passed on
for London. Paris or Berlin, as the
case may be. The reason for this
amazing roundabout to save time is
curious. New York time being about
six hours behind European time, its
wire connections with Europe are al.
most unoccupied during the London
forenoon, while during the same time
European wires are often congested.
Via New York, therefore. is Short

REVOLVING RoUMANiAN PEAS.
ANTS MET WITH DEADLY FIRE.
Many Women Fight With insurgents
and Their Maneled Bodies
Writhe in the Dust.

Bucharest, Roumania.-Filed guns
loaded with grapeshot, according to
the official reports, are winning against
the revolutionary peasantry, whose
arms are mostly hay forks and scythe
blades. The insurgents were able to
hold their own against the troops at
close quarters, and even withstood
cavalry charges, doing terrible execu-
tion with long-pronged forks and
scythe blades strapped to long poles,
but the slaughter since the troops be-
gan using artillery appears to be terri
flying them into submission.
In the district of Vashica, where the
outbreay was particularly serious,
large numbers of insurgents have sur
rendered and have denounced their
leaders to the authorities, with the re-
suit that manw of the latter have been
arrested. The government hopes that
with the leaders in jail the undisci-
plined bands will soon abandon the
field.
The self-styled generals" usually
turn out to be country schoolmasters
and village priests. Many women are
fighting in the insurgent ranks, and
some of them have been found among
the killed, side by side with their hus-
bands, sons and brothers.
Details of the attack made by the
peasants on Galatz show that pitched
battle was fought. The insurgents,
who were several thousand strong,
commenced the assault-at midnight, car
ried the outer earthworks by storm
and captured a suburb, which they set
on fire after pillaging it. Three bat
talions of infantry attempted to stem
the peasants entry into the city itself,
but the fork and scythe rustics fought
desperately, hand in hand. and had al
most routed the troops when the gov
ernment ordered field guns, loaded
with grapeshot, to be fired at the in
surgents, who wavered and then fled.
The fire of the guns wrought great
havoc upon the retreating masses.
A number of conflicts between
troops and marauders continues to be
reported. Two thousand insurgents at
Gorj are said to have been quieted by
the assurances of the authorities with
out resort to force. One hundred and
fifty more rioters have been wounded
at Baileschtchi, several of them killed
and many arrested. Artillery was
used at Cacuesti, Valoelele and else
where, and in some instances whole
villages are said to have been utterly
destroyed by the fire of nine-inch
shells.
Although the disorders are dying
down in some districts, the agitation is
spreading in the provinces adjacent to
the Carpathian mountains, which hith-
erto have been quiet. Much plunder-
ing and incendiarism has taken place
among the farms and in isolated ham
lets. Troops are in active pursuit OF
the marauders.
With the object of preventing so far
as possible the determination of troops
and peasants belonging to the same
districts, and also the possibility Of
fighting between relatives belonging to
the opposing forces in the revolutionary
districts, the Moldavian troops belong
ing to the Fourth army corps have
been transferred to Wallachia. while
the Walalchian troops attached to the
First army corps have been retailed
for duty In Maldavia.

Magnetic Pole Not Stationary.
COLORADO.


Amundsen, the Norwegian explorer,
rs in Paris, where he has been lion
ized, made a Commander of the Le-
gion of Honor and brought before
various scientific bodies. In his inter-
esting talks he tells much about his
experiences in the polar region, in
Guiding his discovery of the northwest
passage, through which he sailed, al
though that was secondary consider
alton. Amundsen spent three years
in the north, 10 months of which were
devoted to making careful observa-
tions, day and night, of the magnetic
pole. He finds that the pole is not
stationary, but while he has vast
amount of data on hand the exact re-
suits have not yet been completely
figured out At all events, says the
Troy Times, new scientific knowledge
has been gained which will be of
much value to the world, even If the
northwest passage shall prove imprac-
ticable for ordinary commercial pur-
poses. And if the pole is an oscillat-
ing point there may be an explanation
as to the failure of SO many seekers
to find that elusive object.

wher. the Routt Estate viii. Go.

Denver-The estate of Mrs. John l..
Routt, the wife of former Governor
Routt of Colorado, who died last week,
will probably be divided between her
daughter and the children Of Governor
Routt by former wife. - The will
left by Mrs. Routt has not been pro-
bated and probably will not be during
the life time of the governor, who has
not been made acquainted with the
fact that his wife is dead.
According to those in position to
know, all the Rout. property was in
Mrs. Routt's name. and her will, which
was drawn with Mr.. Routt's consent,
leaves half of her. property. to her
daughter Mrs. Lila ,Routt Collins, and
the other half to her husband to re-
vert to the four children of the first
Mrs. Routt, who are John H. Routt,
Frank Routt, Mrs. Emma Butler and
Mrs. w. Fl. Bryant. This is the way
the property would be DIVIDED il Mrs.
Routt had died without making a
will. ,~-a
The children of the former governor
are in comfortable circumstances, and
whether Mrs. Routt has left them a
portion of the fortune given her by her
husband is not of vital interest to
them.
II have paid little attention to the
matter" said Mrs. w. H. Bryant, who
is now living at the Metropole. "The
will of my step-mother has not been
opened, and until it is we will not
know how she has disposed of her for
tune. We feel that she has provided
for her own daughter and think that
it would be natural and proper for her
to do so. Outside Of that we do not
know whether she has left anything
for us, and feel that whatever she has
done is light"
