DENVER IS VICTOR (Continued from Page One.) . . 1 . I The president read a telegram from the chamber of commerce of Cooa Bay, saying that city wanted the permanent home and would give a suitable building lot and 115,000 cash bonus. The mes aage was received with laughter and ap plause. Mr. Joseph of Salt Lake then moved the previous question, bringing the mat ter before the house. Mr. Drake of Oregon moved an amend ment to postpone the matter of lo cating permanent headquarters for one 7r. Judge Powers Speaks. Judge Powers of Utah took the floor to oppose this proposition. If there ' was to be opposition to the general understanding, he argued. It should have developed long ago, before the two cities had come to the congress In good faith to wage a campaign. The Judge ex plained alao that the delegation could not promise that the offer of a valua ble building sits would be held open beyond the time of this convention by the Salt Lake City council. Judge Powers then concluded: "1 am very sorry thai any acrimony should have crept into our proceedings and I want to say that If. anything I may have aid caused any Ill-feeling I am doubly sorry. I tried to be good-natured, as J always try to be. "And, ladles and gentlemen, whether you come to our city or not, ws will go right on building up and keep on set tling those local queatlons that have disturbed us among ourselves." The olive branch thua extended, Lara Pence expressed himself as regretful over the conflict of yesterday. lie op posed the postponement of the head quarters question. He also drew atten tion to -the fact that all this congress can do In the case la advise its board of directors, the American mining con gress being .now an Incorporated body, and the board Itself must finally set , tie upon a location for the home. Mr. Patterson of Omaha spoke In favor of proceeding, and tossed a few rhetorical wreatha to Salt Lake and Denver. Staples of Oregon, White or Ohio and Cook of Jasper county. Mo., all urged a settlement of the question. Mr. Cook amused the delegatea with funny storlea and declared for Denver Mr. Steele of Alaska warned the con gress that Alaska would claim the quarters II It vaul t settled soon. col. Crawford of Oregon, Mclritlrs of Wash ington, who la ex-governor of Colorado, all spoke In favor of deciding at onos, and the amendment to postpone was voted down. Mr. Pence then moved the original question and received a second from Judge Powers. The chairman explained that no proxies would be considered, but delegatea, as well as members of the I congress, would be entitled to vote. It was decided to call the full roll of members and delegatea. During roll call there was trouble ascertaining who were eligible, requir ing the reading of lists several times and calling some names frequently. The final vote, according to unofficial count Was 15 for Denver, to Rait Lake's 66, when Judge Powers moved to make the Vote unanimous, the motion being sec onded by Mr. Pence. The former hoped Denver would do half as well by the congress aa Salt Lake had planned, and the latter accepted the graceful ac knowledgement of Utah by delivering a short address that eloquently prophesied for the ruturo noma.. - CONGRESS IN UPROAR.

Richards yes terday afternoon when the convention waa called to order, reigned but a few moments. Close upon his feeling plea, which urged postponement of the time for selecting headquarters snrther year, came the tumult of the 1004 sesslpn. Ex-Congressman Lafe Pence, formerly of Colorado and now of Lewlaton, Ida., brought on the storm In his address for Denver. Mr. Pence had been substituted on the program for C. E. Hamlin, and arrived at a late hour. C. E. Oalbralth, first on the Denver program, yielded to Mr. Pence, who desired f.o speak and catch a train on urgent business. When Judge Powers closed for Utah, his eloquent effort seemed to have cap tivated the convention, and Salt Lake's assurance of permanent headquarters needed - further effort. Hla argu ments i lalned the central location amidst the western mineral districts, from which the congress support had been derived. But the sole unfortunate sentence In his maaterful effort "Utah does not give miners free transporta tion from Che state, with a military chaperon," struck the Denver men so hard that Mr. Pence hastened to this point when he took the platform. Accepts Challenge. "I oould bare passed their legend on that baaner, Utah has no strikes,' with the thought that It. did' not allude to Colorado," said the speaker, "but for the words of the eloquent Judge preceding me. But when their orator seconded It, casting reflection upon Colorado be cause of being In the throes of labor troubles, I could not doubt further. All the prayers of Colorado's good men and women are that you never shall have such strikes. Ood grant that Utah, Cali fornia, Nevada and all other states shall never be so distraught by the ambitions and greed of men as la their good parent mining state today." When the speaker had taken up other intermediate polnta, he followed with thla unkind insinuation: 'When Denver Is mentioned, men think of the mining Industry; when Salt Lake la mentioned, be It man or woman, he thinks of some other Industry." . Utah Deleg-atlon Mad. Tumult was not long pending. Judge Powers and the entire Utah delegation were shaken with anger and excitement. The venerable Jurist who but a few mo ments before had spoken with such elo quence and admirable calm, waa In front of President Richards demanding that the speaJrVr on the platform make his bend-iimeanlng more clear. President Richards waa beside Mr. Pence, evidently endeav oring to restrain him. With scarcely an Interruption, he delivered the further thought: "The purpose of the mining congress is to establish a mining bureau, and not a matrimonial bureau. In Denver, every man Is entitled to more than one mine; In Salt Lake he la entitled to more than one proxy prospects you may call them." Salt Lake was not to brook further In sinuation. H. B. Joseph stood before the Colorado orator and Judge Richards with flaming countenance, and ssld: "I have my wife here, and do not pur pose to have my wife insulted In this manner." Other Utah delegates had a belliger ent attitude, and It seemed for a mo ment that the tranquility that has per vaded the meetings until this time wss to die In physical encounters. President Rlcharda restrained., the Colorado speaker, when the latter asked If he had Insulted any lady preset. "If ao, to her will I apologise," he added. Hut this Incident had barely passed when he repeated the offensive state ment, with a demand to know wherein It waa wrong. Judge Powers explained that it was the Insinuation flung at Utah, and "in bringing In here a ques tion that is not proper for discussion. Utah ts solving this question for her self, and can do It. and this Is not the place to discuss It" The Bove of Peace. Mr. Pence concluded after more detail of Denver's merit for headquartera, the helpful mining spirit of Colorado, and reference to the extreme eastern mining Industry that should be considered In choosing a geographical center, with the statement that should Utah secure head quarters, "the Jovial, xenial, beaver-ltke delegation from 1'tah would be welcome." C. L. Dlgnowltty of Pennsylvania sec onded the motion for Salt Lake. He was followed by James P. "fJaTibralth or Den ver for Colorado, who apoke In pacific tones for his city and state, and aaaured the delegates that although Denver waa not present with a definite promise, the buoyant mining spirit of thst com munity would always be back of the con gress In all Its work.

Thla pacific sally brought forth general laughter. 1 IDAHO TOR SALT LAKE.
