MADISON, Wis, Aug. 16.-Secre-
tary Of the governors conference at
Colorado Springs, says the conference
has recognized Sulzer. The confer
ence sent him an invitation before his
impeachment, but he declined. 1t is
unlikely an invitation will be sent to
Glynn. The conference will ignore the
New York situation. New York state
is the first one to signify that it will
not have its representative at the con-
ferences' annual meeting which is held
this month in Colorado Springs.

ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. 16.-Sulzer
continues in possession of the execu-
tive chamber but Glynn is discharg-
ing practically all of the gubernatorial
duties.
A majority of state officials recog-
nize Glynn and many sources are urg.

Glynn refuses to engage sin any un-
seemly wrangling."
Leaders of the factions deprecate
talk of violence but their followers are
threatening and riots are feared.
Despite official denial, the rumor
persists that Sulzer is on the eve Of
resigning on the advice of friends,
who believe his defeat is certain, and
the best way would be to yield tenn
porarily, seek the next nomination and
make fiercer war against Tmmany.

WONDERS OF cULEBRA CUT.

Digging Culebra cut involves dry
excavation, amounting to at least 1OO,-
100000 cubic yards. From the begin-
ming, it was recognized that the work.
ing efficiency of the steam shovsis
depends primarily upon the means 0f
disposition of the spoil, says the Bos-
ton Post. The shovel engineers de-.
tailed reports Of delays classify them
as mining, cleaning track, repairs,
switching, derailments, moving up,
cutting out, waiting for steam and
waiting for cars.
In the nine-mile length Of Culebra
cut, the number Of shovels at work
has averaged about 81, and, though
this number has been diminished BY

TROUBLE EXPECTED
IN TRINIDAD SECTION
100 GUNMEN IMPORTED FROM WEST VIRGINIA
FOR Use IN CASE OF STRIKE OPERATORS SHIP
IN Ammunition -BlOODSHED FEARED

United Press
TRINIDAD, Colo, Aug. 16.-One
hundred gunmen from the West Vir-
ginia coal fields have arrived prepara-
tory to the expected strike of nine
thousand southern Colorado miners.
The United Miners strike order is ex-
pected next week.
Bloodshed is feared as the result
of the threatened strike and miners
charge the operators are storing great
qualities of ammunition.
Thomas Uplich, president of the
miners local, predicts strike soon
after International Vice President
Hayes addresses the outdoor meeting
Tuesday
Strikebreakers have been imported
by the operators and are now arriving
daily in large numbers.
Delegates to the state federation of
labor convention are preparing to re-
main here indefinitely. If strike is
called next week President Uplich
will ask the executive board to re-
main in session and cooperate with
the national officials of the miners
union. The state federation would
thus become involved in the strike
and might indirectly involve the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, with whom
it is affiliated.
1t is predicted that 5000 miners
will hear Mr.. Hayes address Tues
day.
Eventually the American Federation
of Labor may be asked to financially
aid the miners.

STEAMER DEAPOLIS SINKS
Boat, Commanded by Captain Grant
Marsh, Strikes Snag.

Striking a hidden snag in the Mis-
souri, river just above Washburn the
steamer Deapolis of the Benton Pack
ct line quickly sank. 1t was carrying
a cargo of 5000 bushels of wheat
from M%annhaven to Washburn. All
the grain was lost. The crew reached
shore in safety.
The Deapolis was commanded by
Captain Grant Marsh, who is one OF
the pioneer Missouri river pilots. In
July, 1876, he piloted the steamer Far
West, laden with the wounded from
the Custer battlefield in Montana,
down the Yellowstone and Missouri
rivers to Fort Lincoln, near Bismarck.
The trip was the fastest that has
ever been made on the headwaters of
the Missouri and the arrival of the
Far West at Bismarck brought to the
world the first authentic story of the
death of Custer and his detachment
of the Seventh United States cavalry.

damages after the defendant had ut

the statements made therein were
true. After hearing the witnesses for
the plalntln Editor Newett declared
he was convinced that he was mis-
taken and he would make no defense
outside of his statement to the court.
Colonel Roosevelt then secured per.
