Sea tho most formidable fleet of war.
ships ever brought together under the
Stars nnd Stripes, within a few days
Admiral Dewy will hoist his pennant
on the flagship of this big force as
commander-in-chief.
The general plan of the maneouvers
is similar to that pursued In the
North Atlantic of the coast of Ne.v
Englnnd last summer, but the pres
ent mobilization Is to be conducted
on a much larger scale than eyer be
fore attempted by the American navy.
Secretary Moody and the presldon;
believe in practical drills exercises
that will prepare the officers and mei
for service should a foreign foe send
a fleet against the American shores.
The "search problem" is to bo the
chief feature of the program.
A naval base has been established
at Culebra island, a short dlstanco
east of the Island of Porto Rico. For
several -weeks past colliers and sup
ply ships have been rendezvousing In
the vicinity of the Island. Admiral
Sumner, commanding the South At
lantic squadron, nnd Admiral Crown
inshleld, commanding the European
squadron, aro now on their way to
the "seat of trouble.' Admiral Sum
ner, being the senior. Is to have com
mand of the combined squadrons. The
plan Is to have the combined South
Atlantic and European squadrons op
erate against the North Atlantic fleet
in a "search" or "scouting" problem.
In the proposed search problem Rear
Admiral Hlgglnson will be advised
that a hostile fleet has left Europe
and will combine with another In
southern waters with a view to mak
ing an nttack on some of the Ameri
can possessions.
The search problem having been
concluded, all the squadrons, together
with a number of detached ves3elF,
will assemble off Culebra under coni
mand of Admiral Dewey. About two
months will be devoted to naval evo
lutions, according to a program which
has been formulated by the general
board of the navy, of which Admiral
Dewey is president. After the man

TO SECURE A PARDON
PROMINENT NEVADA MAN
WORKS FOR IDAHO CONVICT.
A Historic Case Which Got Into Idaho
Politics Relic of an Embittered
Range War "Diamondfield Jack"
an Attraction..
, Boise, Idaho, Nov. 21. Hon. John
"Sparks, the millionaire governor
elect of Nevada, is In this city, and
rumor states his mission is to secure
the pardon of "Diamondfield Jack"
Davis from the penitentiary. Mr.
Sparks for a number of years wns
the head of the great cattle firm of
Sparks & Herold, operating in Idaho
and Nevada. Davis was an employe
of the firm at their big ranch in Cas
sia county, and "was convicted of the
murder of two sheepherders, who
were found In their wagon with bu
let holes through their heads.
Sentenced to Hang.
Davis was sentenced to be hanged,
but the cattlemen fouffnt his case
through the supreme court of th
United States, and finally two othei
men named Bowers and Gray, con
fessed that the latter bad killed th
men. Gray was placed on trial and
defended by the attorneys who de
mo tli-d l.al.irr
w,n John Pipninir the 1 fended Davis, and for lack of evident'
death was commuted to life Imprison
ment last year, and the case got into
politics the sheepmen denouncing
the commutation by tho democratic
officials and the cattlemen upholding
It.
Lawsuit In Politics. .
During the recent campaign repub
Mean speakers charged that Davis
would yet be pardoned by Governor
Hunt and Secretary of State Bassett
and as these gentlemen were defeated
in the recent landslide. It is evident
if they are to pardon the convict they
must act speedily.
.Discovered Diamond Mine.
It is asserted that Governor Sparks
and associates have spent $30,000 in
tho defense of Davis and are npw
making a last effort to socure his par
don. Davis Is a model prisoner, but
was given to n blustering bad-man
sort of manner as a cowboy, that aid
ed materially in his conviction. He
seemed to rejoice in the notoriety
he was achieving. He securpd the
name of "Diamondfield" by an alleg
ed discovery of a diamond mine on
Snake Iliver. Since the pardon of
Paul Corcoran, the Coeur d'Alene dy
namiter, Davis has been the leading
attraction of tho Idaho penitentiary.

EVERY HUGE CARRIES
GEMS LIE DISEASE ID DEATH
Dr. Gibbons, Before the Strike Commission, Says Insufficient
Protection is Given the Miners.
PERMANENT OFFICERS.
MINERS CAN NOT PAY THEIR DOCTOR BILLS
BECAUSE THEIR INCOMES ARE INSUFFICIENT.
Expert Medical Testimony Given the Board to Show That the Miners Usu
ally Have Asthma and Rheumatism Dr. Robert Gibbons the First
Witness, Says That No Child Under 15, Should Be Allowed to Enter
the Mines Never Expects to Be Paid for Services Rendered the Poor
Miners.
Scranton, Ta.. Nov. 21. Export
medical testimony to show that the
miners usually have asthma nnd
iheuniatism was continued burore
tho commission this morning. Dr.
Robert Gibbons was the first witness.
Gibbons said no child under IB
should be allowed to enter the mines
and that no man should be employed
without a prior medical examination.
It would prevent lung diseases where
there was a piedisposltion to such af
fections.
"The largest number of cases In
his practice are burns from powdor
and oil explosions. He most always
found pieces of coal driven int,o tho
bodies.
Many others received injuries by
falling roofs, many such had broken
backs. He thought an insufficient pro
tection was glveij the miners to pre
vent such accidents, nnd said ho
never expected to secure payment for
tio services rendered by him to the
miners. They were willing to pay,
but their Incomes were not sufficient
to enable them to live nnd pay the
doctors' bills.
He declared that the ambulance
service in the mines was simply rot
ten and that the vehicles arc kept In
mule stables. "Every ambulance." ho
said, "In this great region, -is, a mass
of' infection, carrying deatl and dis
ease to these riding In them."
Dr. Butler, the suierintendent of
the Wllkusbarre poor house, follow
ed Dr. Gibbons. Ho said 70 per cent
of tho inmates of the poor house
wpre miners. Ho had performed
-irany autopsies and invariably found
the lungs black and badly diseased.
When questioned ho said the blacken
ed condition could be observed many
years after the miner had given up
his ocqupation. '
Mrv Roberts then resumed bin tes
timony. Attorney Darrow. counsel
tor the miners, read portions Irom his
look omitted by tho operators' coun
sel, putting a very different light on!
his statements.
Roberts said that tho poverty lim
it of tho workmen with an average
family of five children was J475 a
year.
The result of the long investigation
showed that the miners live on $400
to $450 a year. He emphatically said
that tills was insufficient to maintain
their families at a decent standard
of living.
Darrow then said that the operators
had offered the miners books for In
spection and asked adjournment to
prepare data, which was gi anted.
Will Compromise.
Counsel on both sides of tho an
thracite hearing will have a meeting
tonight. Everything indicates that
they will attempt to reach an ami
cable and satisfactory agreement be
lor next week, thus relieving the
commission from hearing further evi
donee. A portion of the operators'
counsel hurried this atternoon by
train to Now York, wboro a confer
ence will be held with the coal presi
dents. Neither Gray nor the coun
sel for the operators deny or affrm
the report. Darrow ultimately told
tlio reporters that he would have
something to say attor tonight's meet
ing. (
iviiners Make Poor Showlnu.
Confirmation has boon received
hero that tho miners and operators
will attompt to settle their differences
befoie the commission meets again.
A decisive meeting will bo held
next week, either hero or in Now
York. The operator' counsol say
there may be a meeting of tne mlneri
and coal presidents.
It is admitted on both sides that
the minors so far have made a poor
pbowlng and the request to effect a
settlement outside of I he commission
comes from them

there was expended $1,000,000 for the

Under Reorganization of the House,
Burton .ill Wield Much Influence
for Improvement of Pacific. .
Washington. Nov. 21 It is now
eenerallv conceded that Cannon of
Illinois, will be the next speaker.
The dignified course followed by
Burton, of Ohio, has tended to give
him additional prominence as a na
tional character, and practically
leaves him without any formidable
onnonont for reappointment of tho
head of the rivers and harbois com
mittee. Under reorganization Burton will
doubtless wield more iufluence, thus
having an opportunity to carry out
his plans for greater improvement of
Pacific Coast points.
