Steamboat" to Be at Cheyenne.

Cheyenne. 1t is expected that
Steamboat" the most famous buck
ing horse ever saddled, will make his
last appearance at the coming From
tier days in Cheyenne, August IA to
II. The horse was first ridden in a
public bucking contest at the Denver
Mountain and Plain festival in 1902,
and for eight years was unconquer-
able. He was first ridden to a finish
by Dick Stanley of Oregon in a From
tier days contest. Stanley, who was
later killed in Oregon, was an outlaw
and a fugitive from justice at the time
he appeared in Cheyenne and carried
off the honors there. Steamboat is
now 16 years old.

Port Au Prince, Haiti.-Cincinnatu
Leconte, president of the Haitian re-
public, was killed in an explosion an1
fire which destroyed the national pal
ace shortly after 3 o'clock Thursday
morning. Many palace attendants
were killed and it is estimated the
casualty list will reach 400 persons,
killed or injured.
1t is believed that the explosion was
the work of revolutionists. General
Tancrede Auguste, who was named
president by the chamber and senate,
% succeed Leconte, is insisting upon
rigid investigation of the explosion
which caused the disaster. Auguste
and others expect that a fuse was
fired in the powder magazine with
the deliberate intention of blowing up
The Colorado statesman., 1912-08-10

both the palace and the president OF
Haiti. 1t is pointed out that a half
witted creature, recently arrested in
connection with one of series of
supposed Dominican plots, gave infor-
nation of an attempt which it was in
tended to make about this time
against the life of Lcconte.
A report that specific proof has
been secured from the ruins of the
magazine that the explosion was
caused by a lighted fuse is officially
denied.
1t is being suggested that Auguste's
expressions of sorrow for Leconte
scarcely coincide with his attitude
throughout the greater part of the
dead presidents administration.
There is grave danger that the death
of Leconte will precipitate the crisis
which has been looming up for some
time in the charged atmosphere OF
Santo Domingo and Haiti.
Members OF the presidents family,
who were awakened by the terrific
shock, found themselves almost sur
rounded by flames; but managed to
make their way to safety.
Those who were awake and afoot

AS has always been the case in ma
tional political conventions, the bulk
of the work of the Progressive gath
ering was carried on in the commit
tees. The only semblance of con-
flict of opinion on the floor was a
brief debate IS to whether an hours
recess should be taken. The point
was not material, but as one delegate
expressed it. I'VE just had to fight
about something to mako a regular
convention"
There was sharp discussion in sew
eral committee meetings and no little
difficulty in agreeing upon the plat
form as finally adopted.
Colonel Roosevelt worked with the
subcommittee in charge of the plat
form until late Wednesday afternoon,
going over their work of the two pre-
vious days and nights and vigorously
helping to mould the draft which at
last proved acceptable to him. The
platform did not take up the negro
question.
The Colorado statesman., 1912-08-10
Makes confession of Faith"

Theodore Roosevelt made his con
fession of faith" to the National Pro-
gressive convention. The former pres
ident struck out bodily into new
ground, advocating measures which
he said frankly would be denounced
as either socialism or anarchy. The
delegates listened to his speech with
the understanding that they must
either adopt platform substantially
in consonance with his views or look
elsewhere for nominee for the pres
idency.
The Colorado statesman., 1912-08-10

The colonel said he hoped conditions
might so improve in the South that at
future Progressive conventions those
states might send as delegates me-
groes who would have the character
and standing OF the negro delegates
from West Virginia, who, he asserted,
were in those respects the equal of
their white associates.
The report of the credentials COM
mittee, unanimously adopted, con.
tanned a resolution recognizing the
constitutional and inherent right of
each and every state to determine the
qualifications and manner of election
of its delegates to national conven-
tions."
This resolution was regarded as Civ
ing the Southern states the right to
choose delegates as they pleased. 1t
also was interpreted as not imposing
the direct primary system upon any of
the states.
The Colorado delegation appeared
with blue banner reading Colorado
is for Roosevelt"
The Colorado statesman., 1912-08-10

For several hours during the after
noon the throng in the Coliseum had
listened to q flow of oratory in nomi-
mating and seconding speeches, in
which the dominant note expressed
was the belief that victory would
come to the new party in November.
Raymond Robbins of Illinois pledged
a 100000 majority for the national
ticket in Illinois, and Clifford Pinchot
predicted 100000 majority for Col
Roosevelt and Gov. Johnson in his
home state of Pennsylvania. These
statements were cheercd to the echo.
The party formally christened itself
THE Progressive Party" leaving out
the prefix National" by which it has
heretofore been known, but provision
was made for the recognition of "'rear
Progressives in any of the states by
whatever name they should be locally
designated because of state laws.
The convention adjourned with the
delegates singing the "Doxology" IN
lusty voice. During the three days it
was in session there was not roll
call nor a ballot The delegates asked
no such formalities, either in placing
their candidates in nomination or in
voting for them.
There was not voice of opposition
either to Col Roosevelt or Gov John
son. The delay in nominating them
was due to the large humber of Sec
onding speeches allowed.
