PRESIDENT WILL
RECALL TROOPS
Tells Governor Sparks Nevada
Shall Not Shirk the
Responsibility.
PLOT OF THE MINEOWNERS
Federal Soldiers Called in, Then
Kcduelion of Wages Is An
nounced State Authorities Are
Able to Handle Situation.
"WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-President
Kootevolt has determined to withdraw
the Federal troops from Goldfteld, Nev.,
FliorUy after the legislature begins its
special session, Tuesday. This intention
was made known at the White House to
day, when the report of the special in
vestigation commission was made public,
together with a letter from the President
to Governor Spark?, dated January 4. The
President says he shall be governed by
the recommendations in the report unless
the Governor can show that the state
ments of the report are not in accord
ance with the facts. - The report says:
"The conditions did. not support the
general allegations in the Governor's re
quest for troops, nor were his specific
statements established to any such extent
us to Justify his use of these statements
for the purpose - of getting Federal
troops."
It concludes with this recommendation:
"But we must llrmly believe that upon
the assembling of the legislature, or
within a few .days thereafter, the troops
should be removed, regardless of any re
quest for their retention that may be
made by cither the Legislature or the
Governor of Nevada, It being essential
that the State of Nevada shall understand
this situation completely shall recognize
4 he fact that there will, at that date, be
thrown upon it, and it alone, the primary
responsibility of keeping order, and that,
recognizing this responsibility, it may
take such action as is the duty of the
state and as will be sufficient In the
premises.
, In his letter to Governor Sparks, after
reviewing the steps so far take) in the
Gold field mining trouble, the President
continues:
T roo p s Wc re ot Xeede d .
1 have just recojved the report of these
three gentlemen (Murray, Smith and Nelll),
widen sets forth in the most emphatic lan
guage their belief, after a careful investiga
tion on the ground, that there was no war
rant whatever for calling on the President
for troops, and that 'the troops should not
be kept Indefinitely tn Goldtield. The re
port further states that there . was no In
surrection against the power ot the state
at the time the troops were called for; that
nobody supposed that there was such an
Insurrection, and that none of the conditions
described In sections aO7-8-0 of the
Revised (Statutes as warranting Interference
by the Federal Government existed, and
that the effort was and is. plainly an effort
by the state of Nevada to secure the per
formance by the United States of the or
dinary police duties which should as a mat
ter of course be- performed by Nevada her-
' self.
The report further says: '
There is absolutely no question that if
the tte of Nevada and the county of
Esmeralda exercise the powers at their
disposal they con maintain satisfactory or
dr in Goldfteld; that so far these authori
ties have done nothing but rely on Federal
aid and, their attitude now la expressed by
that of refusing to do anything and desiring
to throw their own burdens on the Federal
Government for the maintenance of 'these
elementary conditions of order for which
thry. and they ony, are responsible.
The signers of the report express their
conviction that the troops shpnld remain In
Nevada until the assembling of the Leg is la -sure,
no as to preserve the status quo in
order that the Legislature may deal with
the situation as It exists, but that shortly
thereafter the troops should be removed.
President Must Be "Shown."
1 agree with the recommendations of this
report, of which 1 enclose a copy, and shall
nnd accordingly. In less It can be shown
that the statements of the report are not In
accordance with the facts. It will be Incum
bent upon the Legislature of Nevada, when
It convenes, itself to provide for enforce
ment of the laws of the state. The state
of Nevada must itself make a resolute effort
In good faith to perrorm the police du
ties Incident to the existence of a state.
As the Operators' Association had insti
gated the call far Federal aid, the commis
sion on reaching Goldtield allowed Its coun
sel to present the operators' side of the
case fully. This occupied five days: At
the end of these hearings the report says:
"Inasmuch as we were by this time sat
isfied that the mine operators had not in
any particular established a case justifying
either the bringing or the retention of the
troops, we did not deem It necessary to
take' any extensive evidence on the other,
and the hearing was substantially closed
with a orief formal Interview with the
committee from the Miners T'nion."
Reviewing - the conditions leading up to
the present strike and since the strike be
pan. November 27 last, the report draws
this conclusion:
Scheme of Mineowners.
The action of the mine operator war
rants the belief that they had determined
upon a reduction in wages and the refunal
r employment to members of the Western
Federation of Miners, but that they feared
to take this course of action unless they
hnd the protection of Federal troops, and
that they accordingly laid a plan to secure
such troops and then put their programme
Into effect.
When the troops arrived the mine ope
rators Issued a statement in which they
Indicated a reduction In miners wages from
S to $4 a day, also their intention not to
employ miners who belonged to the union.
The report adds:
"While this cut In. wages and refusal to
employ members. of the Western Federation
of Miners wm hot announced until after
the arrival of the troops, ever" indication
confirms the belief that such action was in
contemplation before the arrival of the
trvps, was part of the general belief f
th Mine Operators to establish their inde
pendence of the union, and that the com
ing of t he troops was expected and urged
I'V them to make such a plan feasible."
renditions at Goldfteld, the report asserts,
did not Justify railing for the troops. The
single chc of the unlawful use of dynamite,
which failed to accomplish any damage,
wan surrounded by such circumstances, the.
report says, as to raise a reasonable doubt
as to tbv senuinencKK of the charges that
the members of the union were responsible.
The ai- 'at bulk of the, tej.tlm.ony of the-opet-ators
tended to -how, according to the
report, not the existence of past or present
disorder, but the possibility of future dis
turbances should the trooas be withdrawn.
This view was held by many men of almost
all clae-, but w as based on the chang-Kl
conditions since the troops had arrived,
namely, the declaration of the operators
reducing wage and refusing to employ
union men. A to the refusal of the o pu
lsions to employ union men! the report
5ts forth a statute of the state prohibiting
Mich discrimination. The commission ex
presses itself as satisfied that out of- the
rntire membership in the miners' union there
are .not over a few hundred men of dan
gerous type, while the great majority, prob
ably three-fourths of the membership of the
union, were conceded to be . men of law
abiding tendencies.
The report adds:
Slate Shirks Duty.
"B permitting their organization to' be
managed and controlled by men of violent
tendencies, th union as a body has thus
laid Itself open to the reproach of being a
vicious organization.
"In view of the foregoing facts we be
lieve there is considerable danger that se
rious disorders will be attempted if the
troops ae withdrawn and the mine oper
ators Insist on carrying out their publicly
announced policy. But if a handful of men
have controlled the Goldtield Miners f'nion
and committed the organization to inde
fensible policies and practices, it Is no rea
son why the county of Esmeralda and the
State of Nevada should tamely submit to
the domination of' this same group and
should not assert their authority and power
and enforce respect for law and order with
out' support of Federal troopp.'V
LAWMAKERS ARE GATHERING
Members of Nevada Legislature
Convening at Carson.
CARSON Nev. Jan. 12. Many members
of thfe State Legislature which, has been
called by Governor Sparks to meet in i
special session next Tuesday for the pur
pose of -providing means to preserve order,
at Goldtield have already arrived.
Governor Sparks stated today that he
hoped the Legislature would finish its
business in two weeks. There will be a
caucus of the members tomorrow on or
ganization. It is believed that the old at
taches will occupy the positions held at
the session of last Winter.
Lieutenant-Governor Dickerson said to
day that he is ln favor of any legislation
that will promote the interests of the
state. As he has been opposing Gov
ernor Sparks' policies, this statement has
produced a better feeling.
Congressman Bartlett, who is in accord
with Governor Sparks, "has arrived arid
will remain throughout the session. -
The Goldfteld Miners' Union ami the
Mineowners Association will both be
lepresented. by prominent members.
Governor ' Sparks was unwilling tonight
to outline his message to the Legisla
ture, saying that he did not care to dis
cuss it in advance of Its transmittal to
the Legislature Tuesday.
A lively session is looked, for, as there
are many radical labor sympathizers
among the members who will fight lustily
any measure creating state militia similar
to the Pennsylvania Constabulary force
It Is said by those who. are working for
a militia or. constabulary force that if
the plan is blocked the Legislature will
be asked, to memorialize Congress to
enact a law establishing a permanent
military organization in Nevada,

Windy City Isolated . for Hours.
Streetcar Traffic Blocked.
Blizzard in Wisconsin.
CHICAGO, Jan. 12. Chicago and its en
virons were cut otf for several . hours
today from wire communications from
other points by a snow and wind storm
which began before dawn and raged -without
a break all day. Snow continues to
fall tonight.
A northeast gale drove blinding masses
of wet snow before it. The warmth of
the atmosphere caused' the heavy flakes
partly to melt and stick to whatever they
touched. As a consequence overburdened
wires and poles were put out of commis
sion in all directions and wire communi
cation was at a standstill for hours.
Electric carlines to suburbs were blocked
and even in the downtown' quarters trans
portation was slow and uncertain.
HAVAXA FLOODED BY 6EA

ocean front, sweeping over the lalecon
sea wall and inundating the lower part of
the Prado and adjacent streets to the
depth of several feet. The lower section
of Vedado, a suburb, was also Inundated.
Scores of residences- on Gulf avenue were
badly damaged.
Entrance to or exit from the harbor was
impossible during the gale. Great waves
striking Moro, hurled the spray 60 feet
over the lantern of the lighthouse. The
storm is subsiding tonight.

COPPER FROM IDAHO MINES
Production of Blister In 1006 Shows
Gain Over 1905.
OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Jan. ,. The production of blister,
copper from Idaho in 1906 was 8.578.046
pounds, .a gain of about l,35O,0tX pounds
over the output of ISH'5. The mine pro
duction amounts to 9.55S.913 pounds. The
difference between the mine, and the
smelter production in 1906 is due to the
fact that a very large quantity of Idaho
ore was held in storage at Canadian and
Pacific Coast reduction works at the
end of the year. Much of the product
came from the Snowstorm mine, in the
Coeur d'Alene district, and from' the
White Knob . mine, at Mackay, Custer
County.
The ore of the Snowstorm mine aver
ages about 4 per cent copper, 6 ounces of
silver and 0.1 ounce of gold. It carries
very high silica, in consequence of which
many smelting companies give it a fav
orable reduction charge, since it may be
used as converter lining.
The ore of the White Knob mine is ox
idized down to a depth of 600 feet, and is
of a moderate grade in copper, gold and
silver. Sulphide ore from Bingham, Utah,
was brought to Mackay and smelted with
the oxidized ore and the matte pro
duced was returned to the Salt Lake Val
ley for conversion.
Other copper producers in the state are
located in Washington. Iemhi.. and Fre
mont Counties. A small amount of cop
per was recovered as matte in lead fur
naces and was turned into blister in the
Est. '

the Pennsylvania Railroad's . tunnels
under Manhattan have been completed.
The final blast was fired at 5 P. M.

TRY TO IMPEACH
THEIR GOVERNOR
Dunsmuir of British Columbia
Disliked for Attitude on
Japanese Question.
SOCIALISTS AID MOVEMENT
Alleged That lie Desires Japanese
Labor' for -His Coal Mines and
so Docs Not Sign Exclusion
Law Passed by Parliament.
VANCOUVER, B. C, Jan. 12. The im
peachment of Governor Dunsmuir '. of
British Columbia for the attitude he has
taken on the Japanese question is said
to be the first thing on the programme
of the Provincial Parliament, which is
to convene on Thursday of this week.
Socialist members, assisted by avowed
enemies of the Governor in Parliament,
are said to be looking for the scalp of
the millionaire legislator.
J. H. Hawthornthwaite, who represents
the white coalminers of Nanaimo, hear
which the Dunsmuir mines are located,
proposes to impeach Dunsmuir before the
bar o the House as the first action'of the
Provincial Parliament. .
Always unpopular with the labor party,
Dunsmuir especially offended last year
when he declined to sign' ah act exclud
ing Japanese labor,, passed unanimously
by the Legislature. Four months later
Dunsmuir, on behalf of the Wellington
Colliery Company, of. which he is presi
dent, signed a Contract with one Gotoh,
a Japanese employment agent, agreeing
to employ 150 miners and several hundred
laborers to be brought from Japan by
Gotoh. '
The labor people charge that the Gov
ernor declined to sign the bill because it
would prohibt his employing cheap Jap
anese labor. The Asiatic -exclusion leagues
and various political organizations have
called on the federal government at Ot
tawa officially to decapitate Dunsmuir.
but so far no action along that line has
been taken.
Hawthornthwait says that he will ask
for a suspension 0 the rules-to take up
the impeachment matter immediately at
the opening of the Legislature.
NEWS REPORTS ' ARE BIASED
Japanese Papers Exaggerate Facts
for Political Reasons. "..
TOKIO, Jan. 13. It is officially an
nounced that the. reported resignation
of Isaburo Yamagata, Minister of Com
munications, is incorrect. In an inters
view, M. Yamagata said that the dif
ferences in the Cabinet concerning the
railroad appropriation had been amica
bly settled. In view of the approach
ing elections, the opposition is endeav
oring to create a strong1 sentiment
against the Cabinet by means of a
newspaper -campaign resulting in' in
numerable reports of differences among
the Cabinet officers. Almost invaria
bly, the investigation of the Associated
Press proves that the repprts are un
founded. The government policies of increas
ing taxation and limiting emigration
are the main weapons of offense. .
In view of the circumstances, ' the
outside world should be careful not to
accept as ' a fact much that is now
cabled and written concerning1 the pol
icy of the Japanese government and
the attitude of the Japanese people, be
cause a majority of tfie matter pub
lished in the Japanese newspapers and
circulated by local news agencies is
merely campaign literature.
JAPANESE LEADERS UNEASY
Surprised at Desire in America for
Exclusion Act.
TOKIO. Jan. 12. Incoming cable
grams, indicating - an overwhelming
sentiment in America in favor of' an
exclusion bill, are causing much uneasi
ness among leaders "of all shades of
politics, who have repeatedly expressed
the conviction that the Americans did
not desire to discriminate against Japa
nese, and would accept the attitude of
the Japanese government as evidence
of its sincere desire not to embarrass
the American Government, and at -the
same time save the amour propre of
the Japanese.
Uneasiness has been intensified by
the delay of a reply from Washington
to the Japanese note of December 31.
JAPANESE SENDS IN A BID
Secret Effort to Get Contract for
Pearl Harbor Work.
HONOLULU, Jan. 12. The award of
bids for material for the construction
of improvements for Pearl Harbor has
been held up, because the lowest bid
der is a dummy for some Japanese con
tractor. . It is probable tha all bids
will be rejected.
CONFIDENCE IS 'RESTORED
HOARDED MONEY COMES OUT
INTO CIRCULATION.
Last Week's Reports Show Bank
Conditions Again Normal Secur
ities Market Good.
XBW YORK, Jan. 12. The rapid clear
ing up of the banking situation and the
release of large supplies of credits to the
money 'markets were the important feat
ures of last week's events in the financial
world.
The New York bank statement of the
previous week gave the first decisive out
line of the turn in the situation. The
statement on Saturday, showing a J6.000.000
surplus, has brilliantly confirmed the
week's impressions. The effect has spread
throughout the money markets of the
world and has sent suoDlles back into the
! loan market with something like a rush.
It was obvious that funds which had
been withheld throughout a spirit of lin
gering distrust of the banks' position or
as a precaution against possible extra de
mands, were returning freely to . central
reserve points. The basis of credits is
greatly expanded by this process.-
Cause of the Crisis. "
The surrender of the privilege of deposit
of part of their cash in the reserve and
central reserve cities and its -recall home
in the panic .was the central factor in
producing the banking crisis.. and the re
tention of tills cash was the cause of tne
prolongation of .the crisis and the main
tenance of the premium on currency. The
anxiety caused by that prolongation up
to the end of the year may be seen to be
now completely dissipated so far as ac
commodation to solvent business is con
cerned. "'
New York has ceased to draw gold from.
London and rapid recuperation of the
Bank of England bullion holdings has fol
lowed. The Bank of France mar-ed
down Its official discount rate from 4 to
314 per cent and market rates of discount
receded In all the foreign markets.
In New York the most important effect
of the new developments was the spring
ing up of an active demand for commer
cial paper,, which effectively relieved the
deadlock in that department and quired
the fearsof widespread embarrassments
in the mercantile world from inability to-
secure extension of large maturing obli
gations. -
In the s ities market the effect of
this Increase of facilities for conducting
speculative operations showed increasing
animation and was stimulated by various
professional devices and by the dissemina
tion of rumors of important developments.
The' need of large uncovered -hort inter
ests was an important contributing factor
to the rapia advance which developed, and
furnished the material for jrnich of the
demand forced by tne bidding up of
prices by the-organized bull party in, the
market.
COLORADO MEN PROTEST
OBJECT TO METHODS OF LAND-
FRAUD PROSECUTION.
Uphold Judge Lewis' Action in
Quashing 30 Indictments on
Grounds of Lack of Evidence.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. In a per
sonal letter which he has addressed to
the President ' and Vice-President,
Speaker Cannon and all members of
Congress, the Justices of the Supreme
Court, members of the President's Cab
inet and the Washington newspaper
correspondents, -George W. Cook, Re
publican Congressman-at-large from
Colorado, severely arraigns the adminis
tration for its course in prosecuting al
leged infractions of the public land
laws in Colorado. ' ,
' Congressman Cook insists that great
Injustice has been done to a number
of Colorado's most honorable, upright
and law-abiding businessmen in that
they have- been unnecessarily branded
as criminals, through ever-zealousness
of the Government in ordering indict
ments without furnishing proper evi
dence He' cites the recent decision of
Federal Judge Robert E. Lewis at -Denver,
in which he quashed indictments
against some 30 citizens, to show that
Government prosecutors were over
active in their efforts to punish land
frauds. Congressman Cook says in his
letter:.
I most earnestly protest against the
continued high-handed, pernicious po
litical persecution made by certain of
the department bureaus of the Govern
ment in this city, branding many of
our most honorable, upright and law
abiding businessmen of- Colorado as
criminals.
Their only information and authority
for such malicious statements are re
ports made to them by. non-resident
special agents and prosecutors sent to
Colorado, whose accusations against
innocent men are for the sole purpose
of securing personal promotion in
Washington.
Judge Lewis' decision gives universal
satisfaction to all ot our people in
Colorado, regardless of their present
affiliations, and is indorsed by our
press; in fact, every newspaper in the
state most heartily commends Judge
Lewis' action.
The unprecedented and dictatorial
encroachment of the executive legis
lative and judicial departments of the
Government is-.almost a daily threat to
the peace and prosperity of the re
public and should be knocked on the
head by the constitutional decision of
the Supreme Court of the United
States.

DIES FROM VICIOUS HORSE BITE
Animal Seizes Farmer by Throat,
- Severing Windpipe.
SEATTLE, Wash., Jan: 12. (Special.)
Bitten in the throat by a vicious young
horse, J. H.' Adams, -a farmer, bled to
death within two hours after the attack.
The tragedy happened on Adams' ranch
near Novelty, 11 miles from Kirkland,
yesterday afternoon.
Adams, who is. 42 years old, was har
nessing a team of young horses Satur
day afternoon, one of which was lUiown
to be vicious. He proceeded very cau
tiously, but while fastening, the bridle
the animal jerked his head away and
grabbed the farmer by the throat. A
physician was summoned, but found that
his windpipe had been punctured and sev
eral large veins in the neck-ruptured. He

INVESTIGATE HIS CITIZENSHIP
Senators Looking Up Residence of
New Surveyor-General.
ROISE. Idaho, Jan. 12. (Special.) D. A.
Utter, who is said to' be lately named as
Surveyor-General for this state to succeed
K. G. Eagleson. is a civil engineer who
has long' been located at Weteer. H,e is
chairman of the Republican Committee of
Washington County. Last year he moved,
as was understood, to Coos Bay, Or., and
it was not generally known that he was
still a citizen of Idaho until his name
came up for this position. . " .
It appears a protest has been made
against him on the grounds that he has
lost his citizenship here, and the Senators
are looking it up. President Roosevelt
made it a condition that' the new man
should be an engineer. This materially
cut down the list of available, men.

WANTS MARRIAGE REVOKED
Italian Prince in. Clash With Car
dinals Over Decision.
ROME, Jan.' 12. Prince Joseph Rospi
gliosi has asked for a revision of the
case, which already has been decided ad
versely to his interests, involving the an
nulment of the first marriage of his wife;
who was Mary Jennings Reid, of Wash
ington, with Colonel E. H. " Park
hurst, of Bangor, Me. Efforts have, been
niade to ' have the marriage of Prince
Rospigliosi and Mrs. Parkhust recognized
by the church on the ground that there
had not been a proper dispensation for.
her former marriage with - Colonel Park
. hurst, who was a Protestant..
The matter came before the Propaganda
and it was decided that the first mar
riage was without a flaw-. It has become
known that when the Propaganda took
its ttrst decision in the matter five of the
Cardinals, including Martinelli and Satolli,
were favorable to annulment of the first
marriage; and that three abstained from
voting, and three voted against the an
nulment. Among those opposing the an
nulment was Cardinal Gotti, who as Pre
fect of the Congregation of the Propa
ganda, brought the case before the Pope.
The Pontiff decided against' annulment,
thereby hurting the feelings of the live
Cardinals who formed the majority and
establishing a ground upon which the
contest for annulment has been waged
since.
DOUBT. AS TO DR. HANNA
Congregation of Propaganda May
Not Name Him.
ROME, Jan. 12. Dn the eve of the
meeting of the Congregation of the Pro
paganda, which will take up the nomina
tion of the coadjutor archbishop of San
Francisco, there is much uncertainty as
to whether Rev. Edward J. Hanna will
be named. Those who oppose his nomi
nation have been working energetically
and have succeeded In placing their ar
guments before Cardinal Gotti, prefect of
the propaganda, as well as before Car
dinal Martinelli. Just how the majority
of the cardinals - stand on the question
of Dr. Hanna' s nomination cannot -be as
certained, but the pope recently an
noiinced that should their decision be
favorable to Dr. Hanna, he would ratify
the nomination.

Surgeon-General AVyman . Reports
. Conditions to Congress His
Recommendations.
. WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. A feature of
the annual report of Surgeon-General
Wyman, of the Public Health and Ma
rine Hospital Service, transmitted to Con
gress during the past week; is a review
of the bubonic plague situation at San
Francisco. Up to November 19 there had
been 96 case? of this dread disease and 60
deaths. The Surgeon -General states .that
it has bjen impossible to discover the ori
gin of tha plague outbreak.- While the
Surgeon-General states that the disease
is reported as diminishing, he asserts
that it will of necessity require a long
time for complete eradication.
The Surgeon-General calls particular
attention to typhoid fever and the neces
sity of a regulation -under the interstate
clause of the quarantine act of 1893 pro
viding for the examination of the water
and food supply on railway passenger
trains. . -
In order to meet. the growing demand
for increased Federal activity in matters
of public health, Mr. Wyman aeks au
thority to convey information through
bulletins and pamphlets. As a further
aid he asks for special authority" and ap
propriations for the preparation and dis
tribution of short treatises on tubercu
losis, particularly relating to. transmission
and prevention. As a further means to
secure .co-operation with state and mu
nicipal health authorities, a recommenda
tion is made for the establishment of a
school of hygiene connected with the hy
gienic laboratory of the service, to which
accredited state and municipal health offi
cers may be assigned by the proper state
authority for courses of research and spe
cial instruction.
