SYMPATHY FOR BULLER.
His Removal Gives Rise to Heated
Controversy.

Controversy.
a London dispatch to the New York Tri-
bune OF today says: The Butler affair
which Is the latest. if not the least, re
grettable incident connected with the war;
has given rise to very heated controversy
at the service clubs. The removal of Gen
eral Butler from his command has almost
developed into a quarrel between the sup
perters of Lord Roberts on the one hand
and the supporters of the disgraced general
on the other. Most of the newspapers are
guarded in their remarks. but unquestion-
ably the sympathy of the people is with
General Butler. In Devonshire, and espe-
ciaily at Cheriton. the home of the Butler

'"The good conduct and loyal spirit of

CLERGY, department and bearing.
An Important Era.
The reforms that have been indicated
mark an important era in the history Of
discipline and military instruction at the
academy. Diligence and discretion on the
part of responsible officers will make these
reforms permanent, without in the slightest
degree marrihg the perfection of drill, ap-
pearance and discipline. The custom among
cadets of settling disputes or difficulties
among themselves by prearranged and often
brutal fist fights is over, and there need be
no apprehension that the stoppage of such
affairs win in any way impair a proper
habit of manly self-defense against per
sonai assaults or insult.
Following the enactment of Congress
which required the superintendent of the
military academy to prepare regulations to
be approved by the Secretary of War
which would effectually stop hazing, the
regulations which were in existence at the
time of the enactment have been improved
and added to, and as now strengthened by
congressional sanction are so comprehen-
sive in detail that their reasonable applica-
tion not only insures the present eradica-
tion of the practice but should for the fu-
ture prevent the recurrence Of the practice:

A letter received in Eureka this week
by Frank Butler from John Mccormack.

miners being paid at the rate of 50. so
per day, and wood is selling at SIS q
cord.
Leases in the new camp are given with
the proviso that they are void as soon as
q sale Of the property is made, and 10 is
the opinion Of the owners that 9 sale
will be effected within Q short time.
II is Mr.. McCormack's intention to
take up q wood ranch about eighteen
miles from Tonspah, and supply the
camp with fuel. He informs Mr.. Butler
that . good town lot has been reserved
for him, and he is confident that there
will be lively times there next season.

In the Senate by Mr.. Hardesty, an
Act authorizing the County Clerks, as
ex-oficio Clerks Of the District Court,
10 retain for their own use the fees fsr
services performed by authority ofany
Act of Congress relating to the loca-
ton OF Government lands.

in the Assembly by Mr.. Allen provides
for q Joint COMMITTEES to investigate
the duties of the different State officers
with q view to determining the pro
priety of making further reductions il

of a large majority of the people o
Nevada that the expenses OF conduct
ing the State government are in ex
cess of what they should be if business
were conducted on a proper basis, anC
the committee is empowered to exam
inc witnesses and take testimony re

STATE REVENUE mArTERs.

The Joint Committee appointed by
the two houses of the Legislature fol
the purpose Of framing q State Rev
enue bill. consisting of Senators Liv-
ingston, Pitt and Williams. and As
semblymen Ooryell, Plat, Rsftice,
and Wilson, met on Monday Of
last week. and perfected an organi-
cation by electing Senator Pitt OF
Humboldt county as chairman.
On the Wednesday evening follow.
ing the committee held another
meeting. the Governor and State
Controller being present by invita-
ton to confer with the members. and
give them such information as was
needed regarding revenue matters.
After considerable discussion Con-
troller Davis was called upon, and
recommended as q remedy for the
defects in the present law the ADOLF
ton of q State rate of taxation, al
lowing the State Board to simply
name . lump sum which each coun-
ty should pay into the State treasury.
The result of this would be that the
different County Assessors would
have only one tax rate to deal with
namely. that of their respective
counties-and they could then send
property valuations up to the full
cash value, as prescribed by law,
without any fear that taxpayers
would suffer thereby. In this way
the rate of taxation would be lowered
all over the State, the cloud of high
taxes would be removed, and the
result would be that the population
of the State would increase by the
inducement thus offered for capital
to come in.
He argued that the reason Asses
sors do not now assess property up
10 its full cash value is because the
present dollar State rate would re-
suit in the State getting about four
lines what belonged to it.
Messrs. Raftice and Williams both
expressed themselves as favoring
he Controllers plan. but feared that
: would be unconstitutional.

q temporary injunction was secured
by those opposed to such absorption,
restraining the officers Of the com

the injunction was granted alleged
that the Guggenheim property was
not worth what the company proposed

purchase would establish a complete

INSURANCE LAW AGAIN.


The Author Of the Measure Elk.
plains Its Aims and objects.
Senator E. P. Hardesty Of Elko
county, the author Of the new Insurance
Law, has the following communication
in the Carson Appeal, in which he ex-
plains some facts relative to the Measure
which appear to have been heretofore
misunderstood. His statement is as fol-
lows:
From comments of several of our
State newspapers, as we'll as those pub
lished abroad, relative to the status and
full scope Of the Fire Insurance Law
passed at the 1899 session of the Nevada
Legislature, vetoed by the Governor after
the adjournment of that session, and
passed over the veto at the present. SEES
sion, permit me to say that the essen
tial features of the law have been 90
m~isconstrued and misunderstood that .
brief explanation of its provisions ought
10 be made in justice to those supporting
the measure.
First-The bill provides only for in
surance on buildings or other structures.
Second-It does not apply to personal
property or movable effects.
Third-It means that any person pay
ing for . policy on a building pays only
that business like and reasonable sum
that in justice to the company and the
insured ought to be paid; in other words.
the honest payment Of q stated sum
should be the inheritance of the sufferer
by fire, and that no sdjuster Of q loss
should deduct any sum from the amount
accepted by the local agent. Fire In
surance Companies reserve the right to
call in policies and reduce the amount as
property decreases in value. Then why
not have . fixed sun always to the credit
Of the insured proporsionate to the pre-
miums paid! Very respectfully,
E. p. HARDRsTY,
Author Of the bill.

wa.
worth:
Somebody has said that this Legis-
lature is not passing laws, but devel-
oping candidates for two years hence.
1t is an undisguised fact that Jackson
is in training for Governor. So is T.
j. Bell. Lem Allen, however, is in
a safe lead. The Senate says Van
Duzer is being boosted for Congress.
Johnny Considine is pointed out as
a likely candidate for Secretary of
State. Warren Williams of Churchill
is also spoken of as The Republican
nominee for Governor, while P. l..
Flanagan is the coming candidate for
United States Senator. Wilson of
Elko is spoken of for both Attorney
General and District Judge. Bob
Skaggs, whose courtly bearing is
catching, is pointed to as the next
Lieutenant Governor, and Sam
Plat, the Ormsby orator, is in train
ing for Attorney General rs q Re-
publican. Ooryell is booked for
promotion to the upper House next
term, and Bob Raftice of Eureka
can have the State Senatorship next
time if he but says the word. So
while laws are being passed plans
are also being laid.
The Dayton Times sums up the
situation thus:
Some of our exchanges have as.
serted that but very little politics is
being done by the present Legisla-
ture. Yet some of these same pa
pers state that from the work being
done So-and>so is the logical candi-
date for so.and.so two years hence;
that So-and-so will be the only ft
stick of timber for Assemblyman;
Mr.. -, from Elko, is q good man
candidate) for such a State
office, and Mr.. - of Washoe an
logical candidate for Or.
etc. Not only is the State ticket
being pretty we'll cut out, but the
ticket in many counties is
being looked after. and. where it can
be done. other county Offices are being
promised to those who will assist the
Legislative ticket in such and such
counties.
