Western Senators Fighting CONFIRMATION Of
IIilfsidais.


Outsiders.
WASHINGTON, Feb 2s The determ-
ination Of certain western senators to
defeat the confirmation OF all non
resident appointees Of the administra-
tion seems to be growing more pro-
nounced daily. Last week the COM
mittee on public lands of the senate
adversely reported the nominations Of
Frederick E. Mckinley, formerly OF
Albuquerque, N. NJ. and recently ap
pointed receiver OF public moneys at
Guthrie, and the nomination OF James
]. Power, formerly of Rochester, Pa I,
as receiver of public moneys at Perry.
These nominations have been hanging
fire in the committee on public lands
since December is at the request OF
prominent eastern senators. Senator
Teller and Senator marlborough, the
latter being chairman OF the commit
tee, finally grew tired Of the delay aud
decided to take some action on the
cases As result adverse reports
were submitted, as also was the case
with some half dozen other nominA'
tions OF q similar character to posi-
tions In western states.
A determined fight is being made by
administration senators TO save Fred
erick e Mckinley from defeat, owing
TO his relation TO President Mckinley
An appeal was made to the committee
to make an exception in this case, but
they siubbornly refused on the GROUND
that II a single exception was made i
would be a departure from rule
adopted which would prove embarrass
| ing in the future. Senator Teller will
lead the fight against the confirmation
OF both Mr.. Power and Mr. Mckinley
and the indications are that he will b'

will not be entered.
Enlistments must be between the
ages OF IS and 45, aud healthy, strong
men, free OF serious physical defects.
The formation OF this regiment is
not in violation OF the territRrial code
as IL cannot be uniformed aud equipped

dently caused a breaking up of the night session, though the dispatch did not say so. After this there was a constant rustling and cracking of the grapevine as if it were exposed to a fervent heat.
 President Mckinley, impatient at the delay of the governors Of the states in forwarding the troops which he had asked for fully an hour and half be- fore, was calling them up again He urged them if they could not be mo- bilized in Washington before break fast, that he be at least furnished with immediate estimates of the num- Der that could be brought into service within the next forty-eight hours. The conference at the White House had roughly placed this arm of the service at 100000 men. It was not a bad guess, for at midnight when the figures sent in by all the governors were compiled it was shown that there was total strength of the National Guard of .114,362. The president could have saved a world of waiting and a small fortune in telegraph tolls by consulting a Worlds Almanac" " which gives precisely the same figures. It was further estimated from the same sources of information that the whole available military strength was 70, 3GJ, 900, which shows that a great many able-bodied citizens are neglect ing Nationa, Guard duty. Then came from various sources figures regarding the strength of all branches of the military service and the condition of the regular army at the close of busi- ness on June 30, 1897. All these fig ! ures were entirely satisfactory, and the accuracy of the Worlds Alma nae" was placed beyond question. The country was in better shape than had been suspected.
 It was now three minutes past two by the Gazette clock. A brief session was held at which it was resolved to make a formal declaration of war against Spain. The De LOme incident was in no way referred to, for the blowing up of the Maine had furnished enough provocation. It was also re- solved to open up a recruiting office and the city editors desk was imme- diately placed on the altar of its country. As soon as the session ad- journed, a telegram was sent to the president, Secretary Long and the committees of the house and senate, still in conference impatiently await ing word from Arizona, informing them of the Gazette's action. The president was directed to get out the White Squadron, to see that the ani- mals were well fed, watered and cur ried and got in readiness for the Ga zette's contingent, which would ar rive in Washington by the first train, and ride 'em off to the war.
