throughout the state.
The capitol city is a place of interest
The capitol building itself is at present
the center Of interest not only in the
city of Salem but in every part of the
state. 1t is located on State street, five

but hereafter the baIloting VIII be done
in joint assembly. AS the hour for
voting drew near spectators began TO
appear In the Hobbies. and when the
voting began no standing room was to
be had. It was almost universally nn-
derstood. noweTer, that no choice
would be made ON the first ballot. Sew-
enteen candidates were placed In nom
I ination In the house and six-- IN the
senate. In the house nominating

house and not any in the senate. His
friends assert that he got the number
he intended. thar his strength lay in
the vote given to weaker candidates.
and that at the proper tme, by a
clever mashalling Of his forces, a gre1k
surprise will be sprung. The Popuiists
scattered their votes among many can
diiates.
A. A. Denny, am old pioneer Of Sea-
attic. received the complimentary vote
of the sound money Republicans. No
material change will be noticed in the
vote at the joint session tomorrow. II
looks now as IL the contest viii con-
tinue many days with a possibility Of
a deadlock. Strong efforts are being
put forth to have a caucus tomorrow
night, but they are not likely to sue
ceed. 1t was stipulated in the meeting
held Monday night that a caucus
should not be held Unless seventy-five
signatures could be had, and it is not
though that they can be secured.

MINERS DISAGREE.
Proposition Rejected by the Men in
Leadville.

Leadville. January ls,-The final
proposition OF the mine managers to
the striking miners OF this district.
which was approved by Governor
Adams and f. V. Debs. was tonight re-
jected by the miners. The vote at their
meeting against its acceptance was al
most unanimous. This ends all nego-
tiations. so far as the governor is con-
cerned, and he leaves for home at mid
night,
The only change made in the prop
osition of the managers was the con-
oession OF increased pay for trammers
and other outside men, predicated upon
an advance In silver and this has prov
en- unsatisfactory to them, though the
general sentiment, in view of the
breaking OF the agreement of 1898 by
the strike, was that the hangers had
done even better than was expected Of
them.

FOR PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
Speaker Reed Gives the Proposed Bill
Black Eye,

Washington, January ia commit
tee consisting OF Messrs. Hicks, Of
Pennsylvania, Curtis, OF Massachusetts.
Hooker. Of New York, Hermann, Of
Oregon. and Henry. Of Indiana. today
waited on Speaker Reed and a petition
OF 20S members of the house was pre-
scented. asking that time be given for
the consideration of twenty-five bills
on the house calendar, providing for
public buildings in various parts OF
the country.
This committee pointed out the neces-
sity of these buildings and said that 1t
was evident that the majority of the
house desired their consideration.
Speaker Reed asked them IL they
were aware that the government was
running behind in the matter of reve-
nue at the rate of S5S.OOOOOO a year.
He said It was question OF the abil-
ity OF the government to meet and pay
its obligations. The committee replied
that the bills did not appropriate a
dollar, but only fixed maximum cost
of buildings, the appropriation being
left in the hands of future congresses.
Mr.. Reed said he did not believe in this
method of mortgaging the revenues of
the government. to which the commit
tee replied they could not mortgage
what did not exist. and thought the
subject of making appropriations could
be safely left to future congresses.
The committee went away feeling
that it was not a cheerful outlook

TIE ENGLISH ARMY.
Some Facts About John Bulls Militia
ry Forces.

There is good deal of food for
reflection i'm the returns of the Eng
lish army for the last year, says the
New York Times. 1t shows that the
average of the regular forces during
the wear was 220,142, the proportions
i'm the various branches being: House
hold cavalry, 1900; line cavalry, Is
2Sl; horse artillery. 3.7S5: field artil-
lery, 1l,4j1: mountain artillery, LAOS:
garrison artillery, 1869; engineers,
1898; foot guards. $3.50; line infant
ry, 1877, 022: colonial corps, j,21s: army
service corps, 3,511; army ordnance
corps. 1910: medical staff corps. 2.632;
and army pay corps, 500. The aver
age strength was larger than in any
year since 1877; and the actual fight
ing strength on the first day of the
present year. according to the latest
returns. was 220. 500, or .925 less than
on January I. 1896. OF the 220,S06,
100.641 were at home, All in Egypt,
3s,522 in the Colonies. and 1906 in In
dia, exclusive of the native army.
The recruits who Joined in 1896
numbered 2S. 532, of whom 1,63S were
for long service. the total being less
than in any year since 1883. and
greatly less than in 1892, when Al $50
joined. The loss by death during the
year was 1869, 1896 men were dis
charged, 1857 were struck off as de-
serters, 1891 were transferred to the
reserve, and 6S4 to the militia, voc
many and volunteer; 60 We're given
up as deserters and 10,7G1 were lost
by various other causes. The enroll
ed strength of the first class army
reserve last year was 1S,1O0, and the
second class had diminished to so, and
there were 117.773 militia enrolled,
1O,1S4 yoemanry cavalry, and 236,05o
volunteers. The total of the home
auxiliary forces was thus 442,19S, or
46.363 less than the 4SS.561 of the es-
tablishment. Although a large pro-
portion of this enormous army is in
England, the greatness of the force,
nevertheless. is the result of the vast
and scattered territory to be guarded.
