riots and pitcherd battles between
strike breakers and striking miners,
Gov. Ammons had found the State
militia unable to cope with the situa-
ton and asked for help. The Col
orado delegation in congress, mine
owners and miners themselves joined
in the request.
1t was one of the rare occurrences
in American history when a State
found itself impotent to assert its au-
thority, bul the president, in a rele-
gram to tie Colorado governor, ex-
pressly Stipulated that the federal
troops would confne themselves to
maintaining order only until tne
S ate can reassert its authority and
resume the enforcement thereof"
The president issued proclama-
ton ordering all persons engaged in
domestic violence to disperse and
retire peaceably to their abodes"

tion of war tonight. All dem
onstrations have been checked
by the troops who guard the
public buildings, banks and
railway stations.
The declaration of war was
accepted as an expected de-
velopment. The mobilization
of the entire Russian army
had paved the way for it. The
stolid Russian characteristics
were never better demonstrat-
ed than when the extra edi-
tions of newspapers telling the
news were shouted on the
streets. Only in cafes was
there much Of a sale. At the
barracks where reservists
were reporting to the colors, q
few papers were bought. But
the majority Of the inhabi-
tants Of this city have been
ready for war for several
days.
The government provided
i'm perial honors for the
German ambassador who fur
nished the kaiser's formal an
nouncement, that hostilities
were to commence. He was
driven to the foreign office in
the embassy's carriage, escort
ed by a troop Of Cossacks. The
same escort accompanied him
to the embassy and, remained
there while he completed his
preparations for leaving the
city.
A special train with one of
the royal saloon carriages at
tached, was waiting for him in
the station to carry him across
the frontier. All information
regarding army and navy
plans are carefully guarded.
It is certain the czar will take
the field in personal command
of his army. He has been in
almost constant consultation
with chiefs Of the general
staff. preparing for action. It
is believed no time will be lost
in striking a decisive blow. AL
ready rumors are current of a
forward movement, but for
obvious reasons, they cannot
be confirmed.

Against France Tomorrow.
LONDON, Aug. 2. 2.-(Sun-
day)-The Sunday morning
newspapers profess to believe
Germany will not declare war
on France before Monday
noon at the earliest. This was
the time limit fixed in the ul-
timatum extended forty eight
hours by order of the kaiser
today. The reason assigned
is a desire to permit the Kronz
Princessin Cecilie, enroute to
Germany and carrying $13,-
100000 in gold and silver to
make her home port and thus
evade capture.
The newspapers profess to
believe that unless France
herself takes the initiative,
neither France nor England
can be drawn into the war be-
fore the early part Of next
week.
A French Rumor.
PARIS, Aug. 2.-(Sunday)
An unconfirmed report
swept the boulevards shortly
before daylight that at a spe-
cial meeting of the French
cabinet called for 10 o'clock
today, France will take the in
itiative, hand Baron Won Scho-
en-, ambassador, his passports
and issue a declaration of war.
The rumor was strengthened
by the dispatching toward the
German frontier shortly be-
fore dawn, of several score of
motor buses loaded with field
equipment.
The First Shots
BERLIN, Aug. 1.-The first
shots of the war have been
fired. Official reports have
been received here stating a
Russian force fired on the
German patrol at Prostken on
the frontier. No casualties
were reported.
The report of the clash was
received by the war depart
ment from the commanding
general master of Prussia. It
is believed the Russians were
endeavoring to mine the bor-
der railway when German pa
trolls surprised them. The
place is on the southeastern
border Of Prussia, directly on
the Russian Prussian frontier.
