CHAIRMAN CANNON
Calls Meeting of the ub-Committee on
 Deficiencies.

Washington November 17.-Chairman Cannon of the appropriations committee of the house. has called a meeting of the subcommittee on deficiencies to meet Sat- urday, November 26, to consider the esti- mates for the maintenance of the extra ordinary expenses of the army and navy during the period from January l, 1S99, to July l. 1S99 It will be necessary to frame an urgent deficiency bill to provide for these expenditures before the holiday re- cess, as the balance of the ,0OO0O0, and the original $50,000, 900 appropriated to carry on the war are not available after Decem- Der 31.
 Whatever remains of these appropria- tions must be covered back into the treas ury on that date. How much has been ex- pended Is not known, but the presumption is that there Is a considerable balance. as the appropriations were estimated to cover the pay on account of the full complement of 234 900 soldiers provided for in the two calls of the president and also for the tenn porary increase in the regular army. Neither the volunteers nor regulars were enlisted up to their full strength and about 100000 of the former have been mustered out of the service. While there should be a considerable balance on this account it may be that the expenditures for clothing, food, transportation, ordnance stores, medical stores, etc., have exceeded the es- inmates, and that little if any of the ap- propriation remains. Some difficulty may be experienced in getting this measure through both houses before the new year, as its presentation may open up the whole question as to the conduct of the war. The appropriations committee will do its duty and have the bill ready for action as soon as congress meets. Furthermore, 1t is the intention of the committee to expedite the framing and consideration of the regula- tion appropriation bills in every possible way in the early part of the session in or der to avert an extra session, should the leaders later decide that an extra session next spring was unadvisable.

SAN CARLOS AGENCY, May l5, 1898.

EDITORS SILVER BELT: In reply to. your letter of the 14th inst, have to state that there is absolutely no ground for the absurd rumors recently published in the newspapers regarding an outbreak on the part of these In- dians. 1 think that the Indians on this reservation hay never been more quiet and contented than they are at the present time, nor less inclined toward unlawful acts.
 The statement that they are joining forces with the Papagos and Yaquis is without foundation and absurd; they have no intercourse or communication with those tribes and never have had. think the people of Arizona have nothing to fear from the Apaches.
 Very respectfully yours,

Senator Allen, of Nebraska, is deter. mined that his son shall not go to war as an officer. If the boy goes at all, it will be as private. The son, who is 20 years old, was appointed lieutenant colonel of Nebraska volunteers and has been commissioned for active duty. The Senator telegraphed the boy to resign, and was reluctantly obeyed. He may now enlist as private in the ranks. Senator Allen says he cannot and is not willing that his son be given preference over other men because of bis political influence. "If the boy shows himself capable" said the Sena- tor, "he can advance on merit, but will not permit him to go in as an off, fieer before he proves to the satisfac- tion of his companions that he is en- titled to the place."

LUST LIKE MINE"
Why cattIeman Won't Go to War.

Stockmen who intend shouldering the old musket in the event of war should beware of the friend who stays at home and agrees to brand his year lings just the same as he does his own. The Beeville (Texas) Bee interviewed an old stockman the other day and this is the way he puts it: "The fellow that talks most of war is not always the man who goes to the front. When the question of secession was agitated was comparatively young and didn't have any more wisdom than young men of my age usually packed around with them. There were some very rantankerous secessionists among my aequaintances, and absorbed 9 good deal or the war spirit from them, When the time came 10 enlist they per suaded me to go. When ] mentioned my business interests they said they would brand my calves every year just the same as theirs. went to the war; they kept their promises. When ! got back they had branded all my calves just the same as theirs. I couldn't tell which was mine and which was theirs, so concluded didn't have any calves at all. You younger men can go to war if you wish, but I've had enough. I'll stay at home and brand your calves Just the same as mine.'"

A Big Cruiser in Action.
[Richard Harding Davis, in the London
 Timesl


 While was on board the New York the big guns were twice brought into service-once at the bombardment of the batteries at Matanzas and again when they were trained on some i'm pudent cavalrymen who had fired on the ship from the shore. Why they did so, unless they had heard that Dutch cavalrymen had once captured fleet of warships, it is impossible to say. The first of these bombardments was chiefly important because it was the first; the second was of no inn portance at all.
 The quarter of an hour during which the fight lasted at Matanzas was of in- terest in giving some knowledge of how warship in action acts upon itself. With land forces the effect of their fire upon the enemy is the only thought; on the sea, in one of these new inven- tions of warfare, the effect of the bat teries on the ship herself is an added consideration. To the civilian the effect was not so tremendous as he had expected. He had been told to stick cotton in his ears, to stand on his toes and keep his mouth open, a somewhat difficult and ridiculous attitude in
 which to meet death. As it happened, the call to quarters came so unex- pectedly that there was no time to ! find any cotton, and as it turned out, there was no necessity to stand on one's toes.
 1 The concussion of the 8-inch guns shook and lifted one as sharply as
 though an earthquake had passed
 beneath, and the reports were trying
 to both the nerves and the ear drums. A camera I had placed on the deck oi the superstrncture just back of the
 forward turret was burst open, but not damaged so badly that 1t could l not later photograph the jets oi smoke from the same guns. Glass wal broken and Venetian blinds in tht chart room were ripped out of theil l sockets, but that was all the damag' . the ship sustained. To the crew tn
 bombardmeut war only gun practice t and quarter of an hour after tn l. order to cease firing had been given found half of them stretched out an . sleeping peacefully on the lower decks e or playing cribbage with anxious an l. undivided interest.

A San Francisco school "marm" at a public recital, in expatiating upon the danger of contagion and contagious diseases, was interrupted by little boy who paralyzed the teacher and convulsed the audience by rising in his seat and saying: Miss, there is contagious disease at our house"
 "Why, what do you mean, Sammy ?" quoth the teacher.
 Well" chimed sammy, "Mrs. sanborn in our fiat had baby last night"
 But that ain't contagious" bush ingly the teacher said.
 ''Yes it is, man, as Miss Densmore had one two nights ago."
 That settled it. The audience roared and the teacher dismissed the gathering.

A Chance for the Medicine Man.
From Harper's weekly.l


 Let us hope that Commodore Dewey will withhold his consent absolutely from the use of his portrait for advertis- ing patent medicines. He halls from Vermont, as we have all recently learned, and Vermont of course is proud of him. But she is sensitive about the use of her great mems pie lures by advertisers, The portrait of her Governor, Josiah Grout, has lately figured in the newspapers in connection with patent medicine, and there is reason to believe (as lately set forth in the Evening Post) that Vermont has not liked it. Of course it would be worth a good deal to a patent-medicine man to print Commodore Dewey's por- trait with the statement, q took your pills at Manila," or, "Admiral Montiio was much helped by the use of your nerve remedy after our fight" But that would not do. Vermont would not like it.
 Vermont. by-the-way, is cutting a considerable figure in this war. If one man contributed more than any other to bring it on, it was her Senator Proctor, who went to Cuba and made a report. At this writing the man who has struck the hardest blow in it is her Commodore Dewey.

4 Mystery Regarding the Death of Leon
 Conyees.


 From the Tombstone Prospector.l
 Yesterday some suspicious circum- stances developing as to the death of Leon Conyers, the authorities decided upon an investigation and accordingly post mortem examination was held on the body of the deceased by Dr. Gordon who made examination and reported that the bullet plainly showed that it had entered the back and its exit was between the 9th and 9th rib in the cheat. The arrest of the only two persons at the ranch at the time of the death-Mrs. Conyers, wife of deceased, and Telesphero, Escuerdo a Mexican employed at the ranch, fol- lowed, both being brought in to-day, which created considerable excitement, the theory that a murder had been committed being freely indulged in.
 Dr. Gordon assured Prospector re- porter of indisputable evidence from the examination that the course of the bullet was from the back. The Mexi- can was interviewed in jail. He stated he was out in the corral at the time the shot was fired and professed to know nothing of the affair. Mrs. Conyers willingingly answered all questions put by the reporter. She stated she was grinding coffee when the fatal shot was fired and rushed to the room. Conyers lived about 10 minutes, and although she asked how it happened, in his anguish and pain did not answer No one was on the premises to her knowledge except the Mexican and hs was at the corral. Did not know Of any enemies of deceased, and believes his death was due to accident.
 The authorities claim suspicious evidence which justify them in belle murder was um Examination is sat for Monday a bail placed a i $20, 900 for each of the arrested parties

Copper Property Immensely Profitable.
 Present owners of copper mines, pro ducing or giving promise of profitable development, can view the war and in- dustrial situation with complacency, says the Mining and Scientific Press. Next to reliable war news nothing is ia more active present demand than cop per. As with gold and other metals, this west half of America is of prime importance to the nation in this re- gard.
 A New York broker says: "During the past three years no shares of any kind of enterprise have shown the re- markable and steady increase in val ues that the copper shares have. Dur ing the past year and 8 half, eight of the leading copper stocks have in- creased in value over fifty million dol lars and they have increased over twen- ty million dollars during the past six months. The total par value of their capitalization is only $l6,000,000. The Rothschilds and other big capitalists of Europe have agents exploring the en- tire continent for copper properties, aud large number of English bank CTS and operators have their American correspondents looking up copper mi1es or large blocks of stocks in such properties for investment purposes. The ownership of all the American copper mines is in the hands of a very few people, and less than 100 American copper mine owners control the worlds market for copper. The demand for the metal is greater than the supply the total visible stock on hand was never so low as now, and would be ex hausted entirely in two or three months if the supply was stopped in an. way"
 As things are at present, it looks a though the world needed copper nor
 than gold. It is predicted that coppe will sell for l3c before January l 1899. It is being produced at tota ) cost of less than one-half that figure.
