TONS OF SILVER.
Four Express Wagons Conveyed 1t TO Sal
Francisco.

our AARE089 "1XOuB conveyed IL 10 san
Francisco.
Fifteen tons of silver bullion ar
rived at the Oakland mole Saturday
and, after being loaded upon four
large express wagons, was taken on
board the ferry boat and conveyed
to San Francisco. 1t will be made
into dollars there.
The bullion is from the mint in
Carson, where it was refined and
put into square form. 1t was sent
under orders from the treasury de-
partment and is the balance on
hand from the purchase made un-
der the act of 1890.
In shipping it to San Francisco
no unusual precaution was taken
to prevent robbery, for it would be
practically impossible for robbers
to make away with it in its present
bulky shape. 1t was brought in
under the care of but one messen-
ger. 1t was driven unguarded from
the ferry depot in San Francisco to
the mint. A shipment of 80 tons
was recently made from Nevada to
the San Francisco Mint At the pres
ent market price of silver-59scts,
the highest figure of the year, by
reason of the demand from Spain.
the shipment which arrived Satur-
day would be worth approximately

To Muster I'm Bryan's Regiment.

A Lincoln, Neb., dispatch June 18th,
says: Gov. Holcomb this afternoon re-
ceived word from Congressman Clark at
Washington that the War Department
had ordered the Third Regiment, MI
Bryan's, to be mustered in at Fort Omaha,
the work to begin at once. The COM
panies will be sent there one at time
for physical examination and mastering
in. Lieutenant R H. Duff of the Eighth
Cavalry is named as the chief mastering
officer, and detail of assistants is placed
at his disposal. The State officers said
this afternoon that they would not take
long, as most Of the companies were
ready to move to Omaha, and would be
received into the service as fast as the
officers conducting the examination could
handle the men. Mr.. Bryan expressed
his pleasure at the news. and said that he
had every reason to believe that his regi-
ment would see active service within q
few weeks. He says that he made no
protest, nor has he countenanced any,
against his being sent to the Philippines
that he will soon be an enlisted soldier,
and expects to do soldiers duty-obey
orders and ask no questions.

Idaho Politics.

Boise Statesman: A great deal
of interest centers about the nomi-
nation for the supreme bench.
McFarlane wants the place, but
there is talk of an agreement being
reached, in the event Of three
cornered fusion, to give it to the
populists and nominate Texas
Angel. Judge Stockslager has been
talked of by the democrats. Guber-
Material aspirants are coming for
ward in the field of gossip, but there
does not appear to be anything we'll
developed as yet about who will
enter the race, though it is under
stood that the governor would APP
preciate q denomination. The visit
of Miss Permeal French to the city
has started talk among her friends
about nominating her for superin-
tendent of public instruction. The
democrats claim her, and if she is
nominated it will probably be under
an apporlionment giving the place
to that party. Democrats say there
will be no difficulty in making such
an arrangement when they have
such a competent candidate to offer
for the place.
Of the three silver parties in the state
the populists is the only one that is d.
vided on the question of union, says the
Caldwell Record. It remains to be seen
what the members of that party will do
in this county at the final wind up. We
believe that they will assert their inde-
pendence on this important question and
not allow themselves to be betrayed BY
the gang that are playing into the hands
of the gold bugs.
There is movement on foot in Boise
to start another Democratic paper at the
Capital. A meeting was recently held at
the Mayors Office for that purpose.

At banquet given in his honor
at San Francisco recently, Genera
Merritt responding to toast said
that the success of the American
troops in the Philippine islands
could not be doubted. The territory
acquired by the United States by
right of conquest should not be re-
linquished. What the navy has
won the army will hold. II be-
lieve in the new national policy OF
the United States" said General
Merritt, (which looks to the acqui'
sition of additional territory, rep
resented in outlying islands that
are requisite for the development Of
national strength and growth"

The Captains Place.

There is an imperative call for
nerve in the captain of g war vessel
or the commander of a feet. The
duty of a commanding general of an
army demands that be conduct OPP
erations from place of savety. He
carries the plan of battle in his
head, and is presumably prepared
for the events which the action may
develop. But the commanding ma
val officer has no harbor of refuge
Dewey is said to have given his or
ders from the bridge with shot and
she'll whistllng in his ears, but if
the fire of the enemy bad been more
accurate it would have been his
duty to seek safety in the coming
tower. The coming tower is thus
described:
This tower is a cylindrical box
of steel with armor thick enough
ordinarily to resist the penetration
of heavy shells. 1t contains the
speaking tubes and electric devices
by means of which be is able to
communicate to the helmsman, the
gunners, the engineers. and, indeed,
all those upon the ship. His field
of vision is limited to what he can
see through a little horizontal slit
at level with his eye. Upon him
the fire of the enemy will be con-
centrated, and his steel drum will
ring with the sound of impacting
bullets"
The steel covering affords de-
gree of security against ordinary
missiles, but it could hardly stand
against a shell that would, if it
struck the hull inf1ict serious dam
age on the ship. The sharpness Of
the curve is an element of safety.
Of a dozen shells that might strike
the tower, it would be a chance if
one should hit it full so as not to
lose part of its force through the
curves of the outline. Modern bat
tleships begin to exchange compli-
ments at distance of about three
miles. The guns carry twice that
distance and more, but at three
miles the aim is supposed to be
so accurate that firing at a vessel
is not waste of ammunition. The
largest guns can be loaded and fired
about once in three minutes. AS
the vessels approach smaller guns
open fire. The four and six-inch
rapid-f guns can be loaded and
fred at the rate of from seven to IF
teen aimed shots per minute. The
one Founders throw 100 shots
per minute. There is a modern
one-pounder (Maxim-Nordenfeldt)
which throws 200 shots per minute.
There is no place on board battle
ship which may be regarded as
reasonably safe. The man who
stands in the greatest peril is the
captain. His position is on the
bridge or in the coming towe.
The bridge gives him the better
view of the work going on, but
duty sometimes requires the captain
to seek the protection afforded by
the circle of steel.-San Francisco
Bulletin.

An interesting bit of news has
just leaked out concerning William
Jennings Bryan's military ambi-
tons. One month was permitted
to pass after war had been declared
: before the free silver champion and
leader of latter-day Democracy de-
termined to join the volunteer forcee
of his adopted State. He enlisted
in the Third Nebraska Infantry,
after having experienced disap-
pointment that he had no reason
to anticipate.
The day that the announcement
was made officially at Washington
that war existed between the United
States and Spain, Mr.. Bryan sent a
personal communication to Presi-
dent Mckinley rendering his SER
vices to the Government in any
capacity the President should see
proper to designate. Mr.. Bryan
waited full month for reply, but
none came; in fact, up to the pres
ent time no communication has
reached Mr.. Bryan from President
Mckinley, nor any one representing
him, on military or other matters
After having waited until be had
given up hope of hearing from his
letter to the President, Mr.. Bryan
rendered his services to the Governor
Ut Nebraska and entered as vol
unteer private. Mr.. Bryan felt at
the outbreak Of the war that it was
a patriotic duty to offer bis services
to the Government aud felt that
President Mckinley, who had been
successful against him as an aspir-
ant for the Presidency, would at
least be gracious enough to favor
him with q reply. even though his
services should be declined.

Lieutenant Hobson's heroic act
is easily accounted for when one
considers his descent, says the Salt
Lake Herald. Here are some of
his ancestors: Great-great-grand-
father, Major Joseph Williams of
the revolutionary army, who fought
with distinguished bravery at Kings
mountain and Cowpens; great
grandfather, Colonel John Williams,
who fought with Andrew Jackson
at New Orleans and was afterwards
senator from Tennessee; grand
father, Richmond M. Pearson, for
forty years chief justice of North
Carolina; father, James M. Hobson,
WHO entered the confederate service
in 1861, and fought CALAMITY
throughout the war.

President Mckinley and Gar
Reed have declared war against
each other. The President is intent
on having the Hawaiian Islands
annexed to the United States. and
the Gear of the House of Repre-.
sentatives is determined that they
shall not be. Usually annexation
Is accomplished by treaty ratified
by the United States Senate, but in
the case of the Hawaiian Islands il
is proposed to annex them by reso.
luton. With this object in view
joint resolution has been intro
duced. The Gear of the House
exercises his power to prevent con-
sideration of the resolution, and
the President is said to be using
executive patronage to get it through
that body.

The Spanish Governor has been
notified that unless he withdraws

1T WAS A MURDER.
East Greenwich Authorities Satisfied That
Carlson Met With Foul Play.

1t appears that the police authorities
OF East Greenwich are convinced that
Alfred Carlson was murdered. Last
Wednesday his body was pulled out OF
the salt water at Old Buttonwoods.
with big bruises covering the face. and
a broken neck
DR.. T.. q. Eastman, who performed
the autopsy. under the DIRECTION OK
Medical Examiner Fifield, believes that
the body had been in the water but a
few hours when II WAS found. and that
death was the result OF external vio-
lence and not of drowning. The officers
found that two Swedes who worked for
Capt. Obadiah Spencer visited some OF
the East Greenwich saloons the night
before Carlson's body was found. and
took the 1912 p. m. train for Providence,
saying that they were going to New
Hampshire.
Since that time these two men have
not been seen about East Greenwich.
The fact that Carlson had neither mon
ey nor enemies battles the police in their
efforts to establish a motive for the
deed, but they are doing a great deal
of "hustling'' in an attempt to fathom
the mystery.
