GRAZING SYSTEM IS INVOLVED Classification of Vacant Lands De sired and Determination Arrived at as to Sections That May Be Leased From Government, DENVER, 'Aug. 5. The Western stockgrowers who have been conferr ing here for three days -with the Spe cial "Land Commission appointed by President Roosevelt, finally adjourned this evening without taking any action with reference to the strike at the packing-house centers. A resolution was adopted with prac tical unanimity urging upon Congress "the necessity of the transfer at the earliest possible date of the manage ment of the forest reserves to the De partment of Agriculture, where not only the forests, but all the Interests Involved may be properly studied and protected." Discussion of tho resolutions con cerning grazing lands was animated, there being a strong sentiment in fa vor of amending those reported- by the committee so as to urge the passage of a strict leasing law for urid lands of all states and territories. As re ported and as finally adopted, the reso lutions are as follows: Resolutions Adopted. "Whereas, After due discussion in open convention, the fact has devel oped that conditions over the vast area included in the grazing district of the West, are so varied and conflict ing that much time must of necessity be consumed in the classincation of the public grazing area, as well as the de termination of range customs and us ages in different districts; "Whereas, Tho past creation of for est reserves has often been ill-advised and far-reaching and tho administra tion thereof, as concerns the grazing interest, has been faulty even to in justice, and believing that the Depart ment of the Interior is not fully equipped to study and handle the forest reserve question; "Whereas, Fe'ellng that th-e present grazing system has bees belli up through a term of many years, coasting ing the life work of the Western pio neers and of the yoenger geeeratlon, entailing untold hardships aad even sacrifice of life, and bellevfag that such sturdy efforts entitle the great major ity of the present occupants of the range to no uncertain voice in the ini tiation of any legislation that may af fect their interest; Classification of Lands. "Resolved, That we favor the pass age of a law which will authorize the Secretary of Agriculture thoroughly to classify the vacant lands of the United States and determine the conditions at present governing the use of the graz ing areas, and to ascertain those sec tions of the range area, if there be any, to which a lease system can be satis factorily applied. "Resolved, That the power to create and administer forest reserves shall be vested in the Department of Agricul ture, which Is specially organized and equipped for this purpose. "Resolved, That we favor Govern ment control and jurisdiction over all public grazing areas, by or through the Department of Agriculture, local ques tions being decided on local grounds and under regulations made to meet local conditions; that the range rights of present users of the grazing area, as determined by priority of occupancy and present use, shall be carefully safe guarded, and that no sudden or strin gent upheaval of existing conditions which would cause commercial distress, shall be made; on the other hand, such legislation must be gradual in Its ef. feet and leases granted only where lo cally satisfactory, as determined by the proper authorities." Secretary of Agriculture James Wll- eon will leave for the West this even lng and Glfford PInchott and F. H. Newell for the East tomorrow morn ing. HUNG TO CROSS HIGH IN AIR. Exciting Experience of Steeple Jack on a Philadelphia Church. PHILADELPHIA,' Aug. 5. Hanging to the foot of a great cross that surmounts the steeple of tne Salem German Re formed Church, 300 feet above the ground, Frank Eickenroth, a young rigger, was held by a rope "choking, in the block of a tackle, his life in constant Jeopardy, for nearly an hour. Eickenroth had been gilding the cross, which is 12 feet high and eight feet broad. when he started to descend, he found the tackle by which he was suspended would not work, and he found himself unable to move up or down. There was danger that the rope might break, and the rigger clung to tho foot of the cross, He could not make those watching him hear, and finally he withdrew one hand from the cross. With this hand ho took from his pocket his knife, a bit of pa ner and a pencil. Slowly and with diftl cultyvhe scrawled upon the paper: "Rope is choked. Send up another tackle quick." Opening the blades of the knife with his teeth, Eickenroth shut them down upon the slip of paper and threw the knife to the ground. His fellow-worker quickly climbed up the Inside of the steeple and pulled up a second block and tackle, by which Eickenroth safely. descended. GIRLS ADRIFT IN E0RY.

Maryland Would Dispose of Interests Worth Many Millions. BALTIMORE, Aug. 5. The Board of Public Works has decided to sell the In terests of the State of Maryland, amount ing to $30,000,000, In the Chesapeake & Ohio canal to the highest bidder. The stock it was supposed tho .state had been holding for many years cannot bp found, and no evidence has come to light that It ever existed. Governor Warfleld is quoted as saying that neither the treasurer, controller nor himself had been able to trace any re ceipts that the state had ever had an In terest in the canal, but that there was no doubt as to the legal rights of the com monwealth in the property. It Is now believed that the state's in terests are centered in the rights of the Assembly, giving the right to build the waterway, and the passage of appropria tions, but these documents are yet to be found.

'Graft" knows no politics, but the "good citizen" does, 'to tne grafter a party is but a tool of his trade, and the party to which a majority of the cltl zens "belongs" is his party. He does not belong to it; it belongs to him. The result is that neither of our groat parties truly represents us; both stand today for graft. They differ upon other, unessen tial things; they are alike in this, that whichever Is in power is the grafter's party. Now, wherever wo have gone, we have found that the biggest grafter is Big Business, and Big Business kept changing its party to be of the majority. After Missouri I visited three Republi can states Ohio, New Tork and Illinois. The railroad that took me Into Illinois turned Republican at the state line. A trust which had dealt with the Demo crats in Missouri appeared In New York with the Republicans. So with another trust in Missouri a Democrat, at home in Ohio it is a Republican. And so it goes in National politics. Wall street, and all that "Wall street" connotes, was Republican till President Roosevelt, re fusing to acknowledge the privilege of capital, enforced the law against a com bination of railroads. Then Wall street began plotting with tho Republican lead ers for the nomination of a "safe man" for President, and, when that "safe man" died, looked to the Democrats looked with Its great campaign contribution for a bribe and corrupt Democratic leaders. Itching for the great financial graft, be gan eearch for a "safe man.'" A Spider's Love for Her Children. Chicago Chronicle. ' "A spider's love for her children is pretty strong," said a biologist. "Take her children away from her and she will remember them for 20 hours." "How do you know!" "I have often made the experiment. Al ways at the end of 10, 12 or 20 hours a spider mother welcomes back the young that have been removed from her. After a full day has passed, though, she for gets. Keep her little ones away from her a full day and they are strangers to ber on their return. She Is liable to eat them. Her marital is stronger than her maternal love. Take her husband from her and she will mourn him faithfully a day and a half." Strikers Dislike. Soldiers. New Tork Evening Post. Next to the Independent .workman, the strikers hate the state authorities who protect him in his rights. The "right to work" Is vested only In a labor union, and so the "strikebreaker," with the po liceman or militiaman who prevents him from being murdered, becomes at once a deadly enemy. There can be no mistaking the significance of this animosity. In it the labor union stands revealed not only as the foe of public order, but of the sovereignty of the state Itself. Organized labor, when logically 'carried .out, -means state socialism. That has long been recognized.

NEW YORK", Aug. 6. Tba flrtt eects of the war In the Far East are beginning to be felt on Russian credit at home, which is already considerably shaken, says a Russian correspondent of the Times. In the first place, many Important or ders for military stores are not being paid for with ready money, but by bills of two TELEGRAM -"ST" years' date. Moreover, although the amounc of paper money issued is stated only to be not more than $60,000,000, it is believed that the sum is three or four times as large. Russian credit, both at home and abroad, Is based entirely on the presence of a large gold reserve,- and, the govern ment Is sparing no effort to keep gold In the country. Tho moment It begins to flow out the national credit will collapse. Already it is declared to be doubtful whether-the Imperial Bank will discount bills on the Nijnll-Novgorod Fair this year, as it has always done, before, for everything in the business world Is now very uncertain, and the bank wishes to run no risks.

REEPSTO THE REAfi apanese Take Advantage of Mountain Passes. ' AKE ENEMY BY SURPRISE . ) Desperate Hand-to-Hand Conflict In the Trenches Between Russian ' Rearguard and the At tacking Forces. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug, 6 (2:55 A. M.) jA Russian correspondent of the Asso ciated Press, describing the general Jap anese advance of last Sunday east of Liao Yang, says that one of tho Japanese columns, taking advantage of. tho com plicated network of mountain paths and deep gorges, actually crept around the roar of the Russian position before being discovered. He explains this by saying that the topography of the country Is so compli cated and seamed with ravines that two hostile armies might be within the space of half a mile without suspecting each other's existence. From an eminence on which he stood the correspondent could see down to the westward plantations of waving grain, the crown of which wa3 so high that squadrons of Japanese cavalry wended their way within a quarter of a mile of the Russian cavalry, neither side suspect ing the proximity of the other. The cor respondent could detect the movements of the enemy through tho field by the small clouds of dust which were raised. The crisis came when the Japanese bat teries enfiladed they Russian gunners. Then the order was given to retire, and Major-General Mlstchenko's cavalry, a brigade of artillery and the Barnaoul Regiment covered the retreat. The Japanese swarmed, into the Bar- naouls' trenches, coming so close that the Russians actually wrenched the guns from their hands, dubbin? the Jananese with their own rifles. Only when night fell did the troops . get relief from the terrific heat of the day. The wounded were loaded in Red Cross cars which had been especially arranged for this pur pose at Halcheng. The correspondent mentions' that the One Hundred and Thirty-seventh Regi ment was engagedlh this fight This-is the first definite lformation that any of the troops of the 17th army corps were on the firing line.

CHEFOO. Aug. 5 (Evening). Exhaustive Interviews with the refugees from Port Arthur, who arrived here today, elicited nothing materially changing previous sto ries of the general situation. While the iguns of the fortress were employed dur ing the three days' fighting, the fortress itself was not attacked directly. On July 31, the steamer Niu Chwang entered Port Arthur from Niu Chwang, carrying artillery as well as 65,000 shells of various sizes. The refugees say that the 12-inch shell which hit the Japanese gun on Wolf's Mountain was not "fired from the battle ship Retvlzan, but from a gun mounted on Perlplolkaga Hill. ., The shell struck a magazine and created havoc. The refugees declare that the 12-lnch gun3 on board- the warships have no dif ficulty in reaching Wolf's Mountain, while the Japanese return fire falls short of the city. Russian Soldiers Galled at Retreat. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 5. The tem per of the Russian troops, in view of the continued retreats, is perhaps accurately reflected ,by the following brief message sent by one of the ,Asso elated Press Rus sian correspondents from Liao Yang: "The orders to evacuate Halcheng aro condemned by many. It la heartbreaking to be constantly falling back, but jfbero must be an end to this retrograde move ment. A little more patience. The ad vance only requires manliness." Captured Two Field Guns.
