Admiral Dewey through his modest
demeanor since he has accomplished the
most wonderful feat known to naval
warfare has proved himself to be great
er than any hero of the past. for though
assailed from all sides by politicians
who are shrewd enough to realize that
his candidacy for the Presidential chair
would mean his election by an over
whelming vote, yet he stands firm as
rock and gives the same reply to all:
No, thank YOU" For this his popular
ity increases and the man never set foot
on American soil who was the possess
or of the popularity that is accorded to
Vermonts Admiral by grateful nation

Concord, N. H., Aug. 2S.-As centuries
ago in Scotland bonlres signaled from
crag ts crag the gathering Of the clans
so in New Hampshire hundred blazing
bcacons told from hilltop to hilltop that
the sons and daughters Of the Granite

At the prearranged hour Governor
Frank w. Rollins touched a match to a
huge mound Of combustibles gathered
with much labor ON the very highest
point Of Rattlesnake hill, the city's chief
emnence. from the interior Of which
comes the granite that made Concord
famous.
Soon the flames shot in the air, becom-
ing visible for miles around, and soon an
swerng flames could be discerned here
and there in the surrounding darkness.
One of the most distant beacons that
could be seen from this city was on the
summit of Mount Kearsarge, the highest
point in central New Hampshire.
The area is divided between four
towns, all of which contributed to the
great fire on the mountains summit,
which had been arranged for by the state
old home week committee. Far away in
another direction could be seen what were
thought to be the fires Of Mount Vernon.
Near at hand were the Examinations at
Dnnharton, at Hopkintan, at Garvin's
hill. Chichester; at Pembroke, at Henri
ker and at Boscawen.
Judging from what is known here MS to

aqua to the connecticut. 1t was an aus

REPORT BY MERRIAM.
Tells What He Did While In Charge
at WMdnar.
PRISONERS WERE WELL FED.
According to Report Such Miners a.
Were Arrested Were Made Pris-
Oners by tho State AuthOri-
ties, Not by Troops.

Washington, Aug. 28.-1he report o.
Brigadier General H. G. Merriam, com
mander Of the department of the Colo
RADIO, on the recent miners riot in Idaho
has been received here.
General Merriam gives detailed his.
tory of the events so far as he or the
troops under his command took part. He
shows that the arrests of alleged partici.
pants in the riots were made by the state
authorities, the federal troops only acting
as guards. At first, he says, the prison
ers were quartered in large building
originally erected for the storage Of hay.
Some suffering from lack of fire and bed
ding occurred, but regarding the food
furnished the general says:
my daily inspection satisfied me that
the prisoners were being furnished album
dant food and well prepared, although
sometimes unavoidably it happened that
meals were served late and somewhat
irregularly, owing to the large number,
irregular hours Of arrival and limited
facilities for serving"
When the building was full, about 200
prisoners were kept in box cars. While
they were not comfortable, General
Merriam says, they were not compelled
to sleep on the ground, as were the SOL
diers guarding them.
Protested to Steuenberg.
Finally the general became dissatisfied
with the progress made in the erection of
the prison which the state authorities
had started and made a protest to Gov
ernor Steuenberg, after which better
progress was observed. The report shows
that the governor, not General Merriam,
declared martial law and that the proc
lamation forbiddins the employment Of
union miners in the mines at Wardner
emanated entirely from the state au-
thorities.
Copies of kilograms and letters from
the secretary of war are given, which
show that his instructions were to use
his troops for the preservation of peace,
and his report shows that he complied
with his orders. According to General
Merriam, about 700 arrests were made,
but only 52S were detained after the
first investigation. OF these three died.
two of disease and one suicide.
