Denver, Colo., Aug. fc.Details of the
storm which prevailed al^ig he east
ern slope of the Rocky moua: lins in
Colorado and Southern Wyoming on
Wednesday night show it to have been
much more severe than at first sup
posed. In some sections the hailfall
was unprecedented. In the neighbor
hood of Greely and Eaton IA the north
ern part of Colorado, chunks of ice
mtasuring in some instances ten inches
in length fell and great damage was
wrought. Sheep were suuck dead in
the corrals and cattle and horses were
severely injured. Farmhouses and
hams were wreeked and crops utterly
wiped out of existence." Near Greely
a man named Johnson was severely
bruised and rendered unconscious by
the hail. Near Lafayette, Coio., there
were twe storms, the second following
the first within fifteen minutes and
With Greater Severity.
The streets of the town were flood
ed, cellars filled with wuctr and trees
and shrubbery were stripped of foli
age. Many window panes were brok
en. The crops in the country sur
rounding were destroyed. Hail lay on
the ground in a great many places tb
a depth of two feet. Damage in and

VESSEL'S LONG TRIP.
Arrives at Porland, Or., After Voyage
Lasting Kiure Than a Year.
Portland, Or., Aug. .After a voy
age lasting BLJi-e chan a year the
French bark Giuud Duchesse Olga,
with a general merchandise cargo,
yesterday arrived in the Columbia riv
er from Antwerp. Her passage is one
of the longest on record, and but for
the fact that she has been spoken
every now and then her name would
probably long ago have been placed
among the lost. The Olga encountered
numerous stor ns after leaving Ant
werp, one off the coast of South Amer
ica, threatenin0 her with destruction.
OPINION AGAINST CANAL.
Colembian Lawyer Says Congress Can

Colon, Aug. The latest advices
from Bogota state that the adversaries
of the Panama canal treaty have as
sumed a new attitude which is baaed
on the recentjy published opinion of
an eminent lawyer at Bogota, who says
that acceptance by the Colombian con
gress of the Hay-Herran treaty would
be unconstitutional because congress
did not sanction the last canal project
'and for other technical reasons. Dr.
Jose Insignares has been nominated
to succeed Dr. Joachim Velez as gov
ernor of the department at Bolivar.

GOULD LINES IN NORTHWEST.
System Would Like to Acquire the
Chicago G^-eat Western.
St. Paul, Aug. The Gould system
is said to be seeding an entrance into
St. Paul and the Northwest by ac
quiring the Chicago Great Western.
This statement, made yesterday by a
very reliable authority, is not denied
by officials of the Chicago Great West
ern, and has the further confirmation
of statements made by a high official
of the Gould system in Chicago this
week, all of which indicate that the
Gould and Rockefeller interests joint
ly are planning to secure a controlling
interest in the line. This official indi
cated further that the Rockefeller and
Gould interests have decided that the
Gould system must have lines in the
Northwest in order to meet the com
petition of the Rock Island, the Illi
nois Central, and other powerful lines
that have already acquired entrance to
and branches in the agricultural and
stockralsing Northwest.
TAX HITS HER HARD.
Mrs. Norris Objects Giving Uncle Sam
a 1 illion and More.
Milwaukee. Aug. The revenue de
partment at Washington has handed
down an opinion that Mrs. Charles W.
Norris, an adopted daughter of the late
Daniel WeKo, millionaire lumberman,
must pay an inheritance tax that will
amount to $1,500,000. The ruling of
the department is that she pay $15 for
every $100 that she inherited, and as
the total amounts to $10,000,000, she
will have to give up one-sixth of the
amount to the government. The at
torneys for Mrs. Norris propose to
fight the case and carry it to the Unit
ed States supreme court. They hold
that Mrs. Norris, being an adopted
daughter of the late millionaire, bears
the same relation to him as a blood re
lation would, and that the tax, there
fore, should be greatly reduced.
LICENSE GOES BY FAVOR.
Town Boards Have a Clear Right to
Discriminate Among Applicants.
Sioux Falls, S. D., Au. Judge
Jones of the state circuit court in this
city has decided an important case, in
volving the right of towns to refuse to
grant licenses for the sale of intoxi
cating liquors. One Larson asked that
a writ of mandamus compelling the
town bo...i of Fairvtew, Lincoln coun
ty, to i^due him a license be granted.
The town voted in favor of license,
and Larson made an application in
regular form for a permit to sell intox
icating liquors, but the town board de
nied his application. The board pro*
duced testimony to the effect that it
had refused Larson a license on the
ground that he was not a fit person to
conduct a saloon. Judge Jones, after
listening to the arguments, sustained
the board in the stand taken.

MILLIONS IN WAGE3.
Increase Due te Concerted Action of
the Unions.
Chicago, Aug. '.The sum of $100,-
000,0000 was said yesterday by Slason
Thompson, editor of the Railway
News, to represent the increase of the
payrolls of the United States in the
last year.
"Some of this, probably $50,000,000,"
he said, "is ^ue to the natural increase
of business of the country, but the bal
ance comes from the concerted action
of the unions, particularly of the con
ductors and trainmen, in asking for
and securinc increased pay. This
movement, *o which the Rock Island
is the latest to yield, began a year ago
in Kansas City. The Rock Island was
reluctant to grant the desired increase,
and did so only after a referendum
i vote of its employes showed that the
men were firm in their demands."

Vibrating Sounds
in Rome, so penetrating were the
strokes of the bells of about five hun
dred churches, which, all ringing to
gether, absorbed all other noises. The
ringing was in honor of the election of
Pius X., a welcome unique of its kind
and ordered by Cardinal Resphigi,
vicar of Rome. All the churches cele
brated masses for the event. The bells
involuntarily served another purpose,
that of ringing in the great ceremony
of the reception of the diplomatic body
accredited to the holy see.
The reception took place in the
throne room and was attended by all
the cardinals.
Senor a'Antas, the Portuguese amr
bassador, and dean of the corps, read
in a clear voice uie collective greeting
of his colleagues, presenting their
homage to the new pope and assuring
him of their fidelity.
