'The ° weather was glorious, and over 50,000 people flocked to town from the country districts, taxing the carrying capacities of all the Coloradorailroads. 'The decorations are extensive, the holiday colors —yellow and white—being seen everywhere. At 1 o'clock in the afternoon the first great parade, the Pageant of Progress, which illustrated the progressof the state frcm the time when the redmen roamed éver mountains and plain up to the present, started on the line of march. Although there had been little time for preparation, some of the floats +were very handsonie. One of the most magnificent features was a hluman flag composed of 400 childreh appropriately costumed and arranged on a stand. The festivities will continue three days. Wednesday night a trolley musicale was given, bands occupying ten brightly illuminated cars, which moved slowly through the business streets and stopped at stations designated by the festival committee to give open-air concerts to the crowds.

DENVER, Col., Oct. 19.—Never has such a crowd been seen in Denveras that now- in attendance at the first annual festival of Mountain and Plain. The railroads estimate that they have brought: 45,000 passengers to the city during the last two days. = A grand military parade was given Thursday forenoon, in which the federal troops from Fort Logan, the entire national gnard of Colorado and grand army posts and Sons of Veterans participated.

In the morning there was a brass band contest in front of the mammoth grand stand and a - series of miners’ drill for prizes. at City park. Crowded into the day’s programme was a parade of the city fire department, the apparaturs lavishly decorated with the carnival colors.

CLARKE’S NEXT MOVE.

Progress of ‘i;he Game of Pugilistio Checkers at Hot Springs.

Judge Leatherman Decides That Prize Fighting Is Not Illegal in Arkansas— Gov. Clake Says He Will Yet Block the Game.

Hor Sprixas, Ark., Oct. 21.—Corbett was released Saturday and the habeas corpus case terminated just as everybody in Hot Springs expected it would. The decision of Chancellor Leatherman was in accordance with the views expressed by Gov. Clarke, and’' as shown by the house records. - The proof produced demonstrated the fact that a glove contest was to be fought a limited number of rounds here on October 31, and that five-ounce gloves were to be used. By the numerous experts put on the stand it was proved that soft glove contests are mnot brutal affairs and are never attended with any serious or harmfnl results when engaged in by trained athletes. ° ; o

Chancellor Leatherman rendered a decision that there is no law prohibiting prize fighting or glove contests and that the defendant was entitled to his liberty under a writ of habeas corpus. The attorney general states that he will take an appeal to the supreme court on a writ of certiorari.

The . probable action of Gov. Clarke, in view of the decision of the chancellor, is the subject of much comment and surmisé. An extra session of the legislature is now the governor’s only hope of making good his word that there shall be no meeting of Corbett and FKitzsimmons anywhere in Arkansas. If he should persist in sending the mihitia into this county without being called upon to do 80, the local peace officers will see that they do no damage: to either life or property. An extra session of the legislature would costthe state about $lO,000, and the governor will have to decide for himself whether or not' the emergency is such as to warrant the expenditure of so much money. Martin Julian, Fitzsimmon's backer, says he will not sign the new articles of agreement. The contest must be a ficht to a finish or none at all. Ie objects also to a postponement of the contest. Ile says FKitzsimmons will be at the ring ready for the meeting »n the day set, October 31. 1f the other parties are not present the Fitzsimmons party will claim the forfeit money, according to contract.

LirrrLe Rocr, Ark., Oct. 21.—Gov. Clarke was seen immediately after the news was received of . Chancellor Leatherman’s decision. He said he was not surprised at Judge Leatherman’s decision. He continued: ~

“For the past week I have been cognizant that some such ruseras this would be resorted to and I have formed my plans accordingly. I was never rnore determined than at present to prevent the fight, and I am sure beyond peradventure that I will do so. “I cannot say what I shall do, but you can safely say for me that the fight will not take place, and I think it would be but fair for you to advise those people in the north and east not to come to Arkansas expecting to see the fight, because it will never come off in Arkansas.” B :

EPISCOPALIANS.

Main Points in the Proceedings of the Conference at Minneapolis,

MixXEAPOLIS, Minn., Oct. 21.—1 n the house of deputies on Saturday the proposition to wuse only the form *Jesus,” and not ‘*Jesu,” in the prayer book and hymmnal was laid on the table. The committee on new dioceses reported in favor of nonecurring with the bishops in the matter of setting aside the new jurisdiction of Kioto. A minority report declared that the linglish church was ready to occupy the field. In the deoate no reference was made to the opposition’s real reason. In view of the pecuniary and other difficulties the house of bishops refused to concur in the proposal to insert the patriotic hymn ‘-My Country, 'Tis of Thee” in the hymnal. The house of bishops held an afternoon session and adopfed & canon on marriage and divorce. The canon differs materially from the one first proposed, providing that in case of doubt the godly counsel of the bishop shall be sought and followed. The canon will receive no further action at this session, as the bishops voted to refer it to the commission on revision of the canons. :

MONROE DOCTRINE. Uncle Sam May Be Forced to F ght in Its ; . Defense. 1 LOXDON, - Oct. 2L.—The St. James Gazette says it is m a position to state that Lord Salisbury has sent an ultimatum to.-President Crespg;l of Venezuela, demanding reparation for the arrest of policemen at Urua,rLand stating the terms upon which Great Britain will definitely determine the boundary dispute with Venezuela. The ultimatum is either on the way to Venezuela or, possibly, has by this time been actually delivered. | - Lord Salisbury and Mr. Chamberlain, colonial secretary, the Gazette says, decided upon a final course in the matter before Mr. Chamberlain started upon his vacation a monthj ago, and both decided that it was necessary to end the frontier dispute at pnce, even if it had to be accomplished iv force. LoxDoN, Oct: 21.—The officials of the foreign office practically confirm the statement made by the St.. James Gazette that Lord Salisbury hais forwarded an ultimatum to the prcsiﬁin’t of the Venezuelan republic. : LoxDoN, Oct. 21.—The Chronicle says: There is no doubt that the United States are determined to effe"pt an early settlement of the Veneczuela dispute. Lord Salisbury has not yet answered Mr. Bayard’s July dispatech. | YWaAsHINGTON, Oct. ‘.3l.——Tilere was a feverish interest at the state department Saturday | in the |Venezuela boundary dispute. It looks as if the issue had been joined| between the United States and Great Britain on the question of the Monroe doctrine. Unless the British back down from the position they have \heretofore maintained toward the Lir&]e-honored doctrine of Jefferson and Nonroe the United States will be cztlled\i;mo_n shortly to maintain the principle by an armed force. It is the opinion of those in authority Saturday that we are neai‘r the war crisis than we have been since the Chilean ultimatum under the Harrison administration. s

Secretary Olney is impa.tiént because the British foreign office has delayed | its answer to his briet suybmitted in | August. This delay may be only in ! keeping with the dilatory tactics of the British on all diplomatic ques- | tions, or it may mean that diela}; is be- | ing asked merely to give the¢ British an’ opportunity to mass =troops%n the dis- | puted territory and thus be {better for- | tified to resist when the| final test | comes. 4 | - Whatever may be thé out¢ome of the | present dispute it will [settle for | all time the force and|.effect of | the Monroe doctrine.

Great Britain has al- | ways sneered at the policy, and it has | been a stumbling block in the way of | her dream of territorial aeauisit.ion and i territorial subjugation on{ this conti- | nent. ; ‘ e b GOING BACK. | Scores of Chinamen Are Retnrning to the | Flowery Kingdom. : 1 CHICAGO, Oct. 21.—Thé (}{and Central | passenger station Sunday night was | crowded with Chinamen yeturning to | their native land.

TURKS AND ARMENIANS. Details of Another Massacre — Sultan : Agrees to Reforms. Loxpox, Oct. 19.—The Daily News publishes a dispatch from Constantinople giving a deseription by an eyewitness of the rioting at Trebizond. He says that four separate Moslem mobs surrounded the Armenian quarters at 11 o’clock on the morning of October 8 and began to pillage the shops. Being opposed, they fired on the Armenians, and soon a general massacre began. .

Soldiers joined the mob in firing on the Armenians and in pillaging the shops and houses. The scene continued until 4 o’clock in .the afternoon when nothing was left to pillage and nobody remained to be killed. The mob then began to: disperse. The better class of Turks did their best to protect the lives of the Armenians. They sheltered the women and children and many men in their houses. The mob attacked only the orthodox Armenians, leaving the Catholics alone. Only two non-Ar-menians were killed, both being Greeks. One of these was within a kahn, where resistance led to the killing of all the inmates, numbering fifty-five. No women or children were killed in the town. ;

An official return places the number of the dead at 180, but well-informed persons place it at between 400 and 500. At 5 o’clock the governor and other officials appeared on the scene, and the governor proclaimed that anybody found armed would b arrested and summarily punished. Leading Turks obtained permission for the Armenians to lodge in the barracks, where military protection was given them, it being feared there might be a renewal of the disorders during the night. : ] On the same day—October B—several villages outside of Trebizond were burned and pillaged and many persons were killed. Other villages were partly looted. The efforts of the officials and influential Turks saved many lives. Kiamil Pasha, the new grand vizier, has issued a peremptory order making the governor of Trebizond answerable for all loss of life that may occur.. The sultan has vainly urged M. De Nelidoff, the Russian ambassador, to recall the Russian gunboat that was sent to Trebizond. French and Russian steamers have brought a number of refugees from Trebizond to Constantinople. CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 19.-—An irade was promulgated Thursday announcing that the sultan had signed the Armenian reform scheme demanded by the powers. . ‘ NOT SO BRISK. : The Volume of Business Shows a Slight Falling Off. NEw Yorg, Oct. 21.— Bradstrect’s says: 3 “There is less push to the general commer=cial movement this week, as indicated by reports from eastern jobbers and others whose travelers have returned from trips wess and northwest. There are, of course, notec= worthy exceptions, Baltimore merchants finding relatively most satisfactory trade. Thisis largely due to the remarkably favore able conditions at the south. In general the volume of business appears slightly smaller this week, but with a wide-spread although somewhat irregular demand.. “The manufacturing industries show no material change except that at central western and western cities shoe manufactureérs anncunce a better demand than at the east. The fulling off in demand of Bessemer pig iron and stecl billets may or may not be due to consumers refu.ing to further discount their future requirements. Nominal deelines in these metals have yet to meet the test of agy-considerable order getting into the market. Woolen manufacturers find no more encouragement than heretofore, but manufacturers of cottons, bolstered by the high and advancing prices for the raw staples, find demand and quotations for their specialties satisfactory. *The total value of foreigntrade in September was slightly smaller than a year ugo, owing entirely to lighter shipments of cotton and provisious, as breadstuffs, particularly corn and refined petroleum shipments, were larger than a year ago. Imports, how= ever, heavily exceeded exports during that month. Detailed figures for August and the eight months show that while exports of agricultural products (bread= stuffs, cotton and provisions), show decreases, manufactured products and products of mines and forests show gains. Imports have ine creased very heavily over a year ago, particu= larly in raw and manufactured textiles. Sugapr imports have fallen off heavily. POPE LEO'S LETTER.

Expresses the Conviction that Catholics

Should Not Meet with Protestants.

MILWAUKEE, 'Wis.,, Oct. 19.—Archbishop Katzer has received a copy of the letter of Pope Leo, sent to Mgr. Satolli, bearing on religious congresses. From the tone of the letter it would seem evident that in the future Catholics will not meer with Protestant bodies, but conduct their conventions separately, though open to all, with the privilege of allowing the members ot other denominations to ask any questions they may see fit. No reference is made to the world’s religious congress in particular, and neither is there a single word which can be termed derogatory to the great convention. The document is typewritten, in. Latin, and addressed to Mgr. Satolli. It simply states that the knowledge of such conventions being held has come to the attention of the pope, and he expresses the conviction that it would be better perhaps for Catholics to meet separately. : ! :

At the { same time, he had one grievous weakness which led him into great wrong to l the nation and to his family. ‘“When he got to be an old man, when his bod- | ily strength was going, ghen his men- | tal vigor and the energy of his will were | sapped, then,under the terrible pressure | of adverse circumstances,” he failed in | government. e allowed his,sons, the | prospective high priests, to continue in l‘ their willful and public transgressions.

He did not know how God communicated His will to His prophets. This was his first experience, as is| stated in the last part of the verse. 7| 8. “The third time.” God kept re- | peating His call. For He knew it was | not from unwillingness to hear and | obey that Samuel did not answer Him, | but from inexperience. Indeed, Sa.'m-,’ uel’s prompt obedience to Eli'ssupposed ‘ call was the assurance that he would answer God's call whenever he recognized it. ‘““And Eli perceived that the Lord had called the child.” DBecause | there was no other explanation of the " repeated calls. : . 1 10. “And the Lord came and stood:" The Hebrew is emphatic; presented himself. e

It was l a very hard thing for Samuel to make known to the aged Eli the message - God bad delivered to him. He was sc young to seem to reprove one so old. He would have to give great pain tc one who loved him and had done much for him. But Eli pressed and even adjured Samuel to teht him all, and Samr uel “told him every whit.” ,

.. . stroyed—Loss, $lOO,OOO, | NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 21.—A fire which broke out in Algiers, opposite this ¢ity Saturday night, continued burning until 9 o’clock Sunday morning, when it was got under control because very little else was left to burn. Two huandred and twenty houses were burne(i_i in ali. The fire was confined almost lentipely to the residence portion of the town, the owners of which are peogple in moderate circumstances.

It is estimated that the loss is fully $400,000, ‘but it will be several days before it can be accurately stated. | The fire originated in an Italian confectionery and fruit store and evﬁrything seems to prove it was incendiary. ‘So intense was. the feeling against the suspected man that if he could have been found he would have undoubted1y been iynched. He was arrested sun‘day and brought over to New Orl?ans for safe keeping. 4 The Algiers police station, the counrthouse and jail were burned, together with some of the court records ofrAlgiers. These include court incidénts, marriages, ete., for many years 338& ‘The ' courthouse was an historie pne, having' been erected about the year 1808, and-was originally a grand family residence. - e |
