OLD POINT COMFORT, Va.. Feb. 22.
Knthusiast ically welcomed by the
mad blowing of the whist left of n score
of naval vessels and a hundred or more
other ships, this only to be drowned out
by t he I hunderons tialute of 111 gnus
fiom each of the Hi battleships in the
column, America's record-breaking fleet
mailed majestically into Hampton loads
loduy.
It was the fleet's homecoming after
its circumnavigation of ihe globe t In
most remarkable continuous voyage
ever nia-le by the warships of any
nary. . y -f'f
Presiib nt Koosevol; and Secrt-t;:rv of
the Xavy Newberry, who were the last
to bid the fleet Cods I when it left
Hampton h'onds December 111, Iim",
were the first to greet it upon its re
turn. TI.e president and his party of
naval of i'icers and holies aboard the
Mayflowi r, which was anchored off
Thimble Shoal light, about seven miles
out from Fort Monroe, sighted the war
ships as t hey t uracil in through tin
Virginia enpesfl then formally reviewed
them while they passed the Mayflower
in single column. When the fleet had
dropped anchor in ihe Roads just above
historic old Port Monroe, the Mayflow
er nteamed in among thorn and Ad
miral Sperry, the commander-in-chief,
::nd his flag officers and flhlp captains
were received on board by the presi
dent. All, especnilly t lie commander
in-chief, were warmly congratulated up
on the safe completion of their unprece
dented cruise.
Sighted at 10 o'clock.
Shortly after Hi o'clock the deck
watch of t he Mayflower discovered a
column of smoke directly eastward over
Tape Charles, and h"lf an hour later the
warships, which had been approaching
under slow speed in order Tint to antici
pate their scheduled hour of arrival,
came into sight and passed the capes.
At 11 o'clock the flagship Connecticut
leading arrived off the Tail of the
Horseshoe, at which point the fleet was
h f t by the Mayflower when it follow
ed the battleships out of the Roads at
the beginning of the cruise. A quarter
of nn hour later the Connecticut was off
the port beam of tV Mayflower at a
distance of .too yards. When opposite
the Mayflower's qurtcr the Connect
nut's six-inch guns began the official
salute of 21 guns in honor of the navy's
eommunderin-chief. Less than half of
these had been fired v. hen the Kansas,
the second ship in line, fn..; up the
salute, quickly followed by the others.
Tho fleet, which lwu averaged about
ten knots snoed thrnuid'out the cruise of
more than 14 months, passed the pre-o
ident at eight knots and entered lln
Roads at six knoLi.
President Receive?.
Following the president's reception
of the officers, th- Mayflower carted
back to WashingtoM, and the nftieers
nnd men as many n cmild be spared at
r,nn tn,- nJinTP. 11101 of ttielH
1o Old Point, to greet the member of
their families and friends who had come
from various parts of the country to
welcome them home. The other effi
cers will be given this temp-traiv Omre

Kay watt in town recently, and whilo

tramway will bo buiM from tho mine
across the river to the railroad, thus
facilitating tho handling of tho output
of tho kiln. This is ono of tho biggest
deposita of lime in southern Oregon nnd
the development of it will mean a great

Southern Oregon has a number of

GAMBLERS AWAKEN TO
THEIR PERIL IN NEVADA
CAUSOX CITY, Nov., Feb. 22. Tin
gamblers of this stato have awakoned
to the peril of tho anti-gambling bill
now pending in tho legislature and n
number of the prominent men in this
business are in town lobbying against
the measure. Tho gamblers claim that
Ihe bill cannot, pass in its present form,
while the friends of the measure in
sist that it will go through. Several
private snapshots at the house point to
a very close vote, with an indication
that it will pass unless there is a change
in the pulse of some of those who aro
ousidered lukewarm. Tho big delega
tion that was to come from Reno, whern
the bill was nursed utn life, has failed
to arrive. Many petitions are being re
ceived bv members requesting the pas
sage of the law, both by snlonn men
md private citizens. A hard fight can
e predicted before the matter is closed.
Delegations from each county aro split,
aving factional fights ns tho outcome.
Daring the day it has been prosed to
amend tho Dill to n meal option out, as
the counties and cities and not the state
lerive a benefit from the licensing of
gambling games.
The senate today passed tho bconse
game law similar to the one in opera
tion in California. It provides for a
2 tax on guns and $10 lieenso for non-
esideuts. It is the result of a number
if bills presented.
Senator House gave notice of rocon
iiti ration of the bill that wus lost In
he morning, providing for an assistant
o the attorney general. It is likely
that the bill wilt pass on the new vote.
The pure food measure which passed
the asseuiblv was referred to tho com
mittee on ways and means and seems
ikely to become a law. The state
ngineer bill also was passed.
