Well Received at Observation-Disclosures
Warren as a Leader.

Washington. D. c., Jan. l3.-(Special
Correspondence-The report Of the
action of the Wyoming legislature on
the senatorial question Is received here
with much satisfaction. Senator Clark
is a general favorite and it is conceded
that with he and Senator Warren Wy
omfng has the strongest senatorial rep
resentation of any of the states of the
west. The Washington correspondent
of the New York World, in a chatty
description of senatorial matters wrote
his paper a few days ago as follows:
Every afternoon soon after the SEN
ate meets a two little page boys in
knickerbockers pass through the cham
Der and place on the desks of each sem
ator his morning mail. All letters and
papers addressed to senators come to
the senate p~ostoffice and are there dis
tributed. Eeach senator has a separate
mail box, and senator's like Hanna, Elk
ms, German, Warren and Mcmillan.

tiers are distributed to seators in the
chamber. The general letters and pa

or TO their residences"
An indianapolis Sentinel CORE
spondent classes Mr.. Warren among
the senate leaders and says that the
senate leaders, Spooner, Elkins, Warren
n Fairbanks, are called in ~consulta-
tion daily by Vice President Hobart.
The selection of Ex-Governor w. A.
Richards for the position which will be
vacated by Mr.. Mondell on March /, is
regarded as having been decided upon.
1t is understood that it is the especial
wish of the president that a practical
western man be continued in the po-
sltion, which is one Of the most i'm
portant in the interior department.

Angered by this, the boy warned the
customs officers that the doctor would
try to smuggle the silk ashore, wound
around his body.
When the doctor tried to land last
night he was stopped, taken to the
office and stripped. Many yards of cost
ly Pongee silk were unwound from his
body and then he was locked up. He
soon got o u on bonds, but must answer
to the charge of perjury and smuggling

STATE NOTES.

DR.. Hawk of Green River will be our
next superintendent of the Miners hos
pttal. The state should not pay a man
for that position who is somewhere
else twenty-three hours out of twenty
four.-Green River Star.
The San Francisco Chroicle remarks:
The Salt Lake Tribune is deriding the
part played by the Southern Pacific in
the attempt to shorten the time be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific sea-
boards, and points out that its trains
are run at a rate of speed rarely exceed
ing twenty-siX miles an hour, while
those on the Union Pacific, Rio Grande
Western and Short Line have a record
OF forty and fifty miles. There is moth
Ing new in this. 1t is a characteristic
of the Southern Pacific to charge more
and give a poorer service than any 9TH
er company in America, and 1t Is NOT
likely to change its habits at this late
day."
Mr.. e. C. Parmelee, father of C. H.
Parmelee of this town, has Just retired
from his position as general agent of
the Cleveland Humane society, which
he has held for many years. The
Cleveland Town Topics a y Of him:
With the retirement Of Mr.. Parmelee
h Humane society loses the most
faithful, efficient and intelligent Of ser
wants. Mr.. Parmelee has administered
the affairs Of the society with a degree
of excellence that was a constant reve-
lation, even to those who have known
him best. His duties have called for
the gentleness and tact Of a woman, the
firmness and determination Of a Bis
marck, and THE ability, wtthal, to insist
on the severest punishment to the brut-
al, while giving the tenderest care to
those who had suffered from brutality
whether the sufferer were human or
dumb. In all the varied phases OF this
peculiarly delicate work, Mr.. Parme-
Lee has been Thoroughly successful. His
good works will be his monument; no
nan could be given nobler tribute

HAVANA CUSTOM HOUSE.

Washington, Jan. 15.-Assistant Sec
Rotary OF War Meiklejohn gave out
today a synopsis Of the report recently
made by the collectors OF customs at
Havana, Colonel Tasker III. Bliss.
Colonel Bliss writes that the oper-
atoms at the customs house at Havana
are proceeding very smoothly consider
ing all OF the conditions under which he
has to work.
Colonel Bliss says that in his opin-
ION the customs service Of the island
should vol only be an object lesson,
but a school OF instruction for
the natives. 1t can, he says, be made
an object lesson by having no one but
Americans in the service. But 1t can
be made a school Of instruction only
by having the natives for the mass Of
employees. with only enough Americans
to Q that their work Is faithfully and
honestly done.

Madrid. Jan. 15.-The government,
or the reassembling Ut the cortes. will
Immediately ask authority to sell the
Marianne (Ladrones), Caroline and the
Pelew islands. since Spain is powerless
to maintain a sufficient force to defend
them. The government arrived at this
decision in consequence Of advices from
General Rios than an army of 1000
men, a mau-of-war and two gunboats,
would be necessary for the purpose.
El Imparcial says:
THE government has NO fresh news
from the Philippines, but private ad-
vices prove that the position of the
Americans is very grave. Moreover.

WILL CENSURE MANY PROMINENT
OFFICIALS IN MILITARY
CIRCLES.
Place Blame-Secretary Alger,
Generals Miles, Shafter, Brecken-
ridge. Brooks and Officers of Med
ical Department Are on the List.

Washington, Jan. 15.-Briefiy put
the commission to investigate the con.
duct of the war will place blame as fol.
lows:
Secretary Alger: For weakness, es-
pecially in his relations with Major
General Miles. For permitting Gen.
eral Miles to go to Santiago.
General Miles: For his conduct be-
fore, during and after the war; for his
selection of certain army camps; for
telling Secretary Alger that he was in
was in the habit of making his own Or
ders; for bringing unfounded charges
that bad beef was supplied to the troops
in Porto Rico.
General Shafter: For certain points
which he admitted IN his testimony.
General breckenridge: For leaving
his department to take part in the San
tiago battle; for not making more in
spctions.
General Brooks: For conditions at
Camp Thomas.
Medical Department: For lack of in
spections; for failure to carry out GER
tain sanitary regulations.
Congress: For failure to make ap-
preparations for smokeless powder.
President Mckinley will have in his
possession the full report of the war
commission Within the next ten days.
This report, it is asserted, will not be
whitewash of the army administra-
tion. 1t will be unanimous in all es-
sential points.
1t will declare that the primary
trouble is due to the lack OF proper
military organization
1t will show that Secretary Alger was
weak, especially in his relations with
Major General Miles, but 1t will not find
him responsible for the camp horrors"
Subordinate officers will be blamed for
the conditions which existed with re-
spect to these matters.
Neither the secretary nor amy MEM
Der of his family, It will be stated. had
amy interest in amy OF the camp sites.
Major General Miles wIR be CRITICS.
ed for his conduct before, during and
after the war.
The report will show that It was he
who recommended the location Of the
camps at Miami and ~Chicamauga; that
it was one Of his aids who selected the
camp site at Camp Alger; that before
the war he recommended the concen-
tration of the regulars at Chickamauga,
and that Secretary Alger strongly OBJ
jected to the location of a camp at
Miami, but was overruled.
1t will show that General Miles was
directed by the secretary to make an
inspection trip of all the camps, but in
formed him that he was in the habit
OF making out HRS own orders.
So far as the Santiago campaign is
concerned, the commission will report
that General Shafter conducted the
as efficiently as could have
been expected under the circumstances.
No fault will be found with General
Shafter, except with respect to the
points which he, in his testimony, adj
mttted.

REGULARS START FOR MANILA.
Fourth and Seventeenth Infantry Sail
Tomorrow from New York.

Chicago, Jan. 15.-The Fourth regu-
lar infantry, recruited up to its full
strength of over 1000 men, in command
of Colonel Robert H. Hall, left Fort
Sheridan today on its long journey to
the Philippines, where the regiment
has been ordered for service.
Hundreds of people gathered at the
station at the Fort, where the regiment
has been stationed SO long. and many
effecting scenes were witnessed be-
tween the blue-clad soldiers and the
wives and sweethearts they We're bid
ding farewell.
The most disconsolate ones were the
members of the regiment whom the
fevers and hardships of the Cuban CAM
paign had rendered unfit for tropical
service, every n of whom could stand,
waded through the mud to see the regi-
ment depart.
The regiment left Fort Sheridan for
the East in three special trains, forty
five Pullmans and tourist sleeping cars.
The trains were switched from the
Chicago and Northwestern to the Fort
Wayne tracks at the union depot in
Chicago, and Immediately left for New
York. where TueJday the regiment will
embark on the transport General Grant
for the trip to Manila via the Suez
canal.
A number of the commanding Off
GERS, including Colonel Hall and Lieu
tenant Colonel J. NJ. Sannow, were ac-
companied by their families. The voy-
age will occupy about five or six weeks.

THE CANAL BILL.
Differences in Committee May Block
the Morgan Measure.

Washington, Jan. 15.-The house
committee considering the Nicaraguan
canal bill is so badly divided on the
question OF government ownership a
the waterway that 1t is probable that
the lower house will not consider the
Morgan bill when the senate passes 1t.
A very strong minority of the house
committee favors private ownership OF
the canal.

gan bill ait the present session. te next
congress will have to reconsider the bill
and all the work performed during the
last several weeks will be practically

Some Warm Fistic Arguments at
Armory Hall.

No matter how big the crowd may be
at Armory Hall tonight to witness the
glove fights under the management of
H. H. Devine, there need be no fear of
the galleries breaking down. Hereto
fore there has been some tinidity mani
tested on that score, but for this occa-
sion-and in anticipation Of a large at
tendance-the galleries have been
strongly braced by uprights and it is
claimed they could hold twice the
weight of humanity that they will hold.
The principal event tonight will be
between Nose La Fontise and Martin
Denny, who are to fight twenty rounds.
They are about the best in their class
on this coast, and ought to put up a
cracking good mill.
The preliminaries announced are
much above the average. Jimmy
Anthony, who will meet Paddy Ma
1oney in a six-round bout, was the
champion bantam weight of Australia,
and Billy Lewis of this city
and Kid O'Brien of San Fran

The change was made partly owing
to lack of funds to renew carpets and

ADJUSTMENTS.

Mr.. Morosco's San Francisco Grand
Opera-house Company opens for
weeks return engagement at the
Clunfe Opera-house tonight. When
Mr.. Morosco brought his company
here some three months ago, it was his
first venture upon the road, after years
of experience in San Francisco He
began his circuit experiment here, and
met with the success fair dealing,
prompt business methods and courteous
conduct deserve. He promised nothing
to the public that he did not deliver,
he made no announcement that he did
not fulfill. Since then he has gone
round the State circuit and at all points
has met with success. He will be re-
ceived here with pleasure and good
houses. His stock company is an all
around good one; it undertakes nothing
of which it is not fully capable and all
it does is done with faithfulness, intel
ligence and marked degreed of skill
and in excellent taste. The play to-
night will be one never given here,
Roger La Honte." 1t was first pro-
duced in America by Augustin Daily in
New York in 1892, with some famous
dramatic artists in the lead, such as
Wilton Lackaye and the late William
ferris. The play is by Robert Blu
chanan, from the French of Marie and
Grisier. 1t deals with the fortunes of
Roger Larogue, a French ex-Captain,
and Luversan, a deserter and rascal.
The two men strongly resemble each
other-so much SO that Roger is con-
demned for murder committed by
Luversan. Rogers wife and child wit
ness the murder and mistake Luversan
for Roger. One of the strongest eff
fects of the drama is worked out in the
trial scene, where the child is called as
a witness. Roger escapes from the gall
leys, returns to France and finds his
child who recognizes him, takes him
to her mothers house and goes to an
inn to communicate the news, where
Luversan appears and she again mis-
takes him for her father The officers
pursuing the escaped Roger at that
moment overhaul Luversan as he is
about to STAY the child in order to dis
pose of a witness against him. He IS
shot down in the nick of time. Roger
following his child appears at the same
moment and the resemblance between
the dead and the living clear up the
mystery and establishes Rogers 1nro-
cence There is a strong comedy vein
running through the DRAMA with some
amusing complications.
