Military to Be Taken Away From the
Cripple Creek District.
Denver, June 24. The News today
(ays:
After a lengthy conference, between
Acting General Haggott and Adjutant
General Bell, a reduction of the mill
tary force in the Cripple Creek district
and a change in the disposition of the
remaining forces has been determined
upon.
There Is no prospect of martial law
being declared off or that the military
will be wholly withdrawn in the im
mediate future, said the general.
The step we are taking must not
be construed to mean such withdrawal
Martial law and the soldiers are here to
stay indefinitely. We simply have the
situation so in band as to be able to
rearrange the forces to advantage."

A Queer Question.
Professor Leopold Barisen Is in
charge of the great X-ray machine in
the Educational building'' at the St

sition, he Is called upon to answer in
numerable strange questions.
Professor Barisen recounted the

X rays that some boys had put to him
ln the morning.
"I was rather In the position," he
said, "of a Harvard instructor who was
lecturing on oxygen.
"'Oxygen,' the Instructor said, 'is

could be no life without It; and yet

accurate line on the democratic battle
cry should W. R. Hearst be nominated
at St Louis:
Tne New Torn Tribune, usually a
careful newspaper, takes liberty with
the truth ln asserting that Representa
tive Hearst is a party to the reputed
"Gorman-Guffey-Tammany combina
tlon" In the Interest of Senator Gor
man as a presidential aspirant and
that there are "dally Increasing Indies
tlons that Hearst and Gorman will have
an understanding at St Louis."
Mr. Hearst has the highest res pecs
for Senator Gorman as an able public
man. He recognizes that the Mary
land , statesman enjoys the confidence
and support of an important propor
tlon of the democratic party, especial
ly in the south.
But Mr. Hearst has not entered Into
man of the kind stated or any other
arrangement The Tribune can get
confirmation of this, if it wishes, by
applying to Senator Gorman himself.
Nor has Mr. Hearst made arrange
ments, or combinations, or bargains,
with any of the other gentlemen spoken
of for the presidency.
Mr. Hearst is not playing "practical"
politics. He has gone before the demo
cracy of the United States as a candi
date for the presidential nomination be
cause he believes in eertaln principles
and policies for which he thinks the
democratic party should stand at this
Juncture in the nation's affairs. As
he said ln a recent interview:
I do not regard the presidency as
an end, but as an opportunity. I would
not deem it worth while merely to be
pointed out as the man who is pres
ident, but I would give all I possess to
be pointed out as the man who, when
