WAITE's WAR ON GOLD.
He Issues Call For an Extra Session o
 the Colorado Legislature.

DENVER, Dec. Ex-Governor Waite has issued the long talked of call for special session of the legislature to meet Wednes- day, Jan. 10. The call consists of about 5000 words and mentions 70 subjects on which legislative nctior should be taken, in the governors opinion.
 The governor justifies his proclamation by declaring that the mining interests of the state have been unjustly and uncon- additionally attacked by congress and the present administration; that the panic has so reduced values and increased burdens of taxation that agriculturists, fruit grow CTS and stock raisers are obliged to sell their products below the cost of producing them, and that the extraordinary reme- dies now granted to creditors in Colorado should be repealed.
 Appealing to Almighty God for the rec titude of my intentions and willing to as sume the entire responsibility of the act, " the governor solemnly declares, ''I do Is, sue this, my proclamation.
 The first business for the legislature sug. gested in the call is to provide that all silver dollars, domestic and foreign, con. taining not less than 35l1{ grains of fine silver, shall be legal tender for all debts collectible in Colorado. The governor also suggests the passage of an act forbidding the making of trust deeds, mortgages or obligations of any kind payable in gold.

A BIG NAVAL BATTLE EXPECTED.
The Insurgent Admiral Avoids Peixoto's Dynamite Throwers and Goes After Con- viota to Recruit His Crew-Excitensut at Pernambuco.

at Pernambuco.
 PERNAMBUco, Dec. 26.-The situation of affairs has very materially changed in this city within the last few hours. Until Monday morning Pernambuco believed that its harbor was to be the scene of the first big naval battle between the Repub- lica, Admiral Mello's best warship, and the Aquidaban, her companion rebel ship, on the one side, and the Nictheroy, Presi- dent Peixoto's dynamite gun cruiser, on the other. This belief was amply justified by the report received few days ago on apparently good authority that the Repub- lica and the Aquidaban had been seen off the Brazilian coast headed northward and apparently bound for Pernambuco, as if to take the Nictherey by surprise and compel her to fight without chance of putting to sea.
 | Later news received here changed the | whole aspect of affairs. The rebel war ships, it was then learned, were not on their way to Pernambucu, but on the contrary had sailed toward the mountain ous and rugged island of Fernando de No ronha, where there is a large convict set | clement.
 | ACtrr Convict Recruits. The island. despite its rucgedaess, pos sesses considerable fertility, and it's several harbors, defended by forts, would enable | Mello to make vigorous resistance if at tackled. The revolutionary admiral's ob | ject in going 10 Fernando de Norcnha- which is over loo miles from the main coast of BIaEil. is to compel as many able | bodied consicts as he can find in the sci | clement to go aboard his vessels and join l their crews. IL is said that he expects tc | secure not less than GOO men in this way l Upon the receipt of this news aboard the ] Nictheroy there was great activity notice able. Members of tho crew were sent ! ashore in small boats to search through | the town for such of the Nictheroy's men | as had been allowed leave to land and tC | hurry them back to the vessel. The com l mandinS officer of the Nictheroy had Rp | pareutly received full instructions as tC | how he should act in such an emergency and these instructions, it is believed, wert to the effect that if he became convinced that the report of the coming to Pernam
 buco of the Republica and the Aquidabar proved to be untrue, and that these yes sels, instead of seeking, were eyadins fight, he should lose no further time, bu
 put to sea at once and force them into
 naval contest for superiority.
 This view of the case proved to be correct
 for when all the men belonging to tn,
 Nictheroy's crew had been gotten abOarC
 the government battleship she weighed
 anchor, steamed out to sea and pointe'
 her nose for the northeast.
 The Associated Press correspondent |
 reliably informed that the Nictheroy'
 destination is the island of Fernando d.
 Noronha. If this information is correct
 the long expected sea battle between tn
 revolutionist and the government wa
 vessels will in all probability be tough
 within a short time.

Chinese Will Probably Register.

WASHINGTON, Dec. s6.-Senator White of California, who has given close attention to the Chinese question in all its phases, expresses the opinion that Chinese resi- dents of this country will accept the op- portunity to register under the new law extending the Geary act and says that many of the Chinese have so assured him. The senator says that the only thing that stood in the way of their registering under the provisions of the Geary law before the time of registration was extended by the present congress was the opposition of the Six Companies, who made the fight against the constitutiouality of the enactment and in the meantime prevented the Chinese from complying with the law.
