his old mark in the tryouts.

The open ing was easy at a decline of 10 to IS points under active liquidation by some of yesterdays buyers or older longs who were evidently disturbed bv a local crop estimate placing the yield at 14,275.000 bales excluding linters. This estimate had been ca bled 10 Liverpool before the local opening and the cables were lower than due. which added to the nervous ness of local longs.

PRESIDENT
HAS SPOKEN
WRITES TRIBUNE A DEFINITE
STATEMENT AS TO CONDITION
OF PENDING FINANCIAL NEGO-
TIATlONS WITH D.. l.. 4 n. W.,

Authoritative statements made by
President c. S. Johnston of the Den
ver-Laramie today indicate that the
financial arrangements for continu-
ing construction work on the road
to the state line north, have finally
been consummated. Newspapers
some OF whom are inclined to take
for granted everything in the nature
of a rumor, have been heralding 4
similar statement for the past yeai
at frequent intervals.
Mr.. JOhnston's signed statement
to the Tribune follows in full:
The negotiations which have been
pending Tor some time relative tc
readjusting the financial arrange
ments were consummated yesterday
The salient points covered by the
negotiations are
Ast) A reduction of million
and half dollars in the floating debt
of the company. :.
(2nd) An arrangement for con-
centrating enough OF the stock ot
the company to assure stability OF
ten years.
80 A provision for a co-opera-
tion between the railroad company
and the Colorado-Wyom Coal
company looking to representation
in the management OF the latter
company OF the persons who fur
nish the funds for the railroad COM
pany.
(4) Financing the extension OF
the road during the present season
to Scott-about hundred miles
IRON Denver.
AS the property stands today. the
tangible property of the railroad
company cost something over two
million dollars in real money; its
total Indebtedness. including both
bonds and floating debt, is reduced
to not more than one million dol
lars; SO that the tangible property
of the company Is worth more than
twice its total Indebtedness.
After the bonds necessary to take
the road to Scott have been issued,
the value of the tangible property
will still be substantially twice the
aggregate debt against it, Including
both bonds and floating debt.
New officers were elected yester-
day as follows: Chairman Board OF
Directors, N. T. Guernsey. of Des
Moines Iowa; End Vice-president, r.
A. Bridge, of Madison, Wisconsin;
Otto Huber, of ..ock Island, Illinois,
Treasurer; o. D. Berroth, OF Denver,
secretary.
Charles Scott johnson contin-
ues as the president of the company,
and Mr. w. f. Green continues as
first vice president and general
Manager.

FOURTEEN YEARS AGO
THEY BLEW UP THE maine

concerns. This forced the water out
and made a substantial wall arounu
the Maine. Then the water insIue
which covered the Maine was pump
ed out and the Maine now SITS the.e
in great hole in the sea. surrouhu-
ed by the huge Golfer dam. The DOT
tom of the Maine is about 40 iee'
below the level of the sea. Wheh
we were there it was hoped TO gel
the wreck fioated by today. Inc
story of the Maine is briefly THIS.
Early in 1898 the Maine was oru-
cred to Havana on friendly Visit,
and to be in readiness to protec'
citizens of America if trouble came
Captain Charles d. Sissoee was the
commander.
The Maine was a second-class PAT.
tleship. 1t was 324 feet long and OF
500 tons. There were on boaru
26 officers and 32S men.
At 9:4O an explosion occurred;
The ship went down. 1t shook nii
Havana and shocked the whole
world. Two hundred and sixty-seV-
en- men were killed. Only nineteen
men were uninjured.
In his report to the secretary OIL
the navy Captain Sigsbee wrote'
public opinion should be suspend
ed until further report.
But the American people did not
long suspend judgment. HOW the
whole country took up the cry Oh
Remember the Maine most OF us
remember and if not the direct cause
it certainly had great deal 10 40
with bringing on the war with SPAN
1t has been we'll established that
the cause of the wreck was from an
explosion on the outside. Certain
vital portions were found to nave
been blown in. But the chief dam
age came from the inside, the ex-
plosives inside having been set on by
the outside explosion.
Who blew up the Maine?
Nobody knows to this day. Some
say Spain, because she feared and
hated us. Some say the Cubans who
hoped that we would charge Spain
with it and intereveni n her behalf
on account of it. Some think 1t en-
tirely accidental, by submerged
mine or some other way. l found
prominent people in Havana who be-
lieve in each of these theories.
But the real facts in the case are
as much a mystery today as they
we're the day after the deed was
done. The destruction of the Maine
was one of the great tragedies in
American history but while sad
sacrifice it brought liberty to sew
eral millions of people.
Since writing this l have noticed
conflicting dates in the newspapers
of tho sinking Of the Maine On in
vestigation at the city library l find
three histories mentioning the dis
aster. One gives the day as Febru-
ary IA, another February 8 and
still another as February 16. All
agree on the time of day as 9:4O

IN GREELEY
FAMOUS OOMMONER AT GREE
LEY OPERA HOUSE NEXT SAT.
VRDAY AFTERNOON-TO TALK
ON LIVE TOPICS OF THE DAY

William Jennings Bryan will
speak in the Greedy opera house At
: O'Clock next Saturday afternoon.
Mr.. Bryan lectures in Denver on
Friday evening and will have all OF
Saturday until GAO in the evening
IN Greeley before taking the train
for the north. Learning this the
Tribune succeeded in getting in COM
munication with him. with the re-
Sultant promise that he could be had
for talk during the afternoon.
The Greeley opera house has been
secured for the occasion, and a nomi-
nal charge for admission will be
made, sufficient to cover Mr. Bryan g
charges and other necessary ex-
pe0ses.
Regardless of ones political pre-
ferences Mr. Bryan is conceded by
democrats and republicans alike to
be one of the really big men of the
nation. His opinions are worth
hearing, because he Is posted on the
conditions that prevail in the nation
today as few men are.
In order to afford as many people
an opportunity to hear him as il
possible, and still obtain enough
funds to pay the expenses, the Trib.
uno has set price of rs cents fol
general admission, with q few re-
served seats at SO cents.
