AN UNEvENTFUL DAY.
Christmas Monday Finds Washing
ION Almost SoinnnmbuIi.tic

Yesterday was the quietest day of the
year in Washington. So quiet was it
that Il large rat, thinking everybody
asleep, walked from a doorway in Penn
sylvania Avenue to the fountain in front
of The Times office during the afternoon
and after taking a leisureiy drink walked
back to his home without being disturbed
Even the annual Christmas murder was
for some reason unobserved, and a fire
could not have attracted handful of pso-
pie. Arrests were few and the day of
good will was observed faithfully as far as
fights were concerned.
Very few pedestrians appeared upon the
streets and these were going to or from
some place of amusement. Only about
0ne-fourth of the saloons opened for busi-
ness and those that did open found busi-
ness monotonous.
The Christmas jag was, of course
everywhere, and his howls were doleful in
the deserted streets. The city was in
deed dead. and, as one disgusted stranger
put it, was worse n Pittsburg on Sun
day"
Everybody staid at home and enjoyed
rest and sleep. but as far as news went

Lack of Roesting Ores.

At the present time there is famine
with the valley smelters in the matter
of roasting ores, such as lead and iron,
and the three plants, the Germania,
the Hanauer and the Pennsylvania,
with combined capacity for treating
200 tons of ore daily, are handling but
lis.
A large percentage OF roasting or
smelling ores comes from Bingham,
which is shipping but little of late, the
main cause Tor this shortage being as
signed to the fact that most of the
mining of the camp is done by leasers,
and they are not working, owing to
the excessive royalties demanded by
the mine owners.
bingham has had the reputation of
being heavy producer of lead and
iron ores, but it is known that ore in
sight and available has been largely
worked out, and as the chloriders have
refused to mine unless the royalties are
cut down, it begins to look as if Bing-
ham would not be a heavy shipper for
some time to come, unless the mine
owners come down to a reasonable
basis

COMPLAINS of Vile Food In Camp and

Logan, Sept. liars Hunst Peter
sen, or Lars Hoose, as he is better
known here, one of Logan's representa-
tives in the Torrey rough riders regi-
ment, returned home today on 30
days furlough, granted on account OF
sickness. Petersen, who was big,
powerful, healthy fellow when he left
here. was almost helpless when he ar
rived. and could hardly walk to his
home. not far from the depot. He has
lost something like so pounds in weight
and presents o most shocking contrast
to the condition he was in when he lett
here He talked with your correspon-
dent shortly after his arrival, and his
statements fully corroborated those
made by other volunteers who have re-
Gently returned. Regarding the health
of the troops at Jacksonville, he says
that when he left in some of the troops
it was impossible to secure more than
three sets of tours at drill, or II men
out of so. 1t has effectually killed the
patriotic instinct in PeterSen'S breast,
which caused him to enlist, and he says
that another call for volunteers would
be ignored by all those who are now
in the service of the United States as
volunteer soldiers. When questioned
regarding the food of the soldiers, ne
remarked that he thought that II was
the worst that could possibly be Sc
cured. 1t was seldom that they re-
ceived meat that was not tainted, and
the other food was quite as bad While
in the hospital, perhaps a bread pan
full of rice pudding was served
amongst about 200 sick men, few tea
spOonfuls to each, which they spread
upon their biscuit or bread in order to
III
in three days, and the only medicine
that he saw while there was pills and
powders. which, were administered in
all cases of sickness. He had but little
to say of the officers of his troop Cd
except that Andy Burt was brick and
that he would be willing to fight under
him if he had the strength to do so. He
made no complaint as to any of the Off
GERS. either company or regimental. His
condition is especially unfortunate, as
he was an ideal rough rider, strong,
good horseman. a dead shot, having
been a hunter and trapper all his life,
and a man we'll liked and with consid-
cradle influence amongst his class. His
furlough will expire in about 20 days,
but it will be absolutely impossible for
him to return at that time. in which
event he will probably ask for his dis
charge.
