were given out today which show that
-thA President has votes enough pledged
TO nominate him at the coming conven-
tion
President Roosevelt is by no means
a novice, in the science of politics. and
he has had before him constantly. since
MS elevation to the chair a mental pic
ture OF what happened to President
chester "A. Arthur. Consequently he
has been busy building up a strength
of his own, and it is now said by even
the bitterest of his opponents that he
has succeeded well He has the pledges
it is said. TO carry the convention. The
States which are his and the number
OF votes they cast in the convention are
as follows:
States Already Pledged.

number OF votes necessary to nominate
Is 4s5, the President thus having II more
than he needs in the convention.
The total number of votes cast Is 96s.
which leaves 472 votes yet unaccounted
fcf. OF these the majority are in the
South. where the Republicans depend
upon the dickers they can make at the
convention to keep themselves in office
1t is among them the Hanna sentiment
has been rampant. because for seven
years the Senator has supplied them
with about all of the offices they OBJ
tanned. These offices were the pay for
the delegations supporting President
Mckinley when his nomination was in
DAGGER.
They are not going TO have much to
say in the coming convention. however,
as the strongest STATES in the country
are those already aligned behind the
President Unless there Is the violation
of pledges, the President is as good as

report. after describing several other

Nearly year ago information reach

dicated that frauds OF a serious nature
had been and were being perpetrated
against the Government under what is
known as the forest reserve lieu land
act OF June T. 1887 by a combination OF
land spectators on the Pacific Coast.
The Information and indicated frauds
were OF so grave character that / at
once directed thorough investigation

commenced last January, and has been
conducted by those having charge OF
the actual work with great care. and
with all possible expedition consistent

Morris Makes Denial.

Quartermaster Morris. as a defender
of the petty officers. makes a vigorous
denial of the charges made against
them he says:
There is absolutely no truth in the
story printed in a local paper 10 the
effect that cruelty on the part of the
petty officers Of the Dolphin caused an
exceptionally large number of sailors
10 desert the ship. Only six men have
quit the service in the past two years
Most of these were practically useless,
so much so that 1t was deemed advis-
able to let them escape for the good Of
the service. / do not mean to say that
one-half the assertions in the May
are not attributable to this cause, but
it is not fair to cite the Dolphin as an
example when the charges cannot be
sustained"
The Washington times., 1903-12-14
Why They Desert.

In the recent report OF Rear Admiral
Taylor, chief Of the Bureau of Naviga-
ton, it is said that ordinarily 1 per cent
of the force will desert because OF dis
satisfaction with food; l per cent on
account Of close quarters on board
ship; 3 per cent because of restricted
liberty to go ashore. and per cent for
other causes or these other causes,
three-fourths OF the men are said to
leave the service because of cruel treat
ment at the hands of the petty officers.

Tyranny of Recently Elevated Privates.
However, Responsible for Many
Desertions, It's Said.

Petty officers of The Z. s. S. Dolphin
take exception TO published statements
that many of the men on board the shin
deserted because of cruelty shown them
by these lower officials.
The statements referred TO say that
one-half of the assertions from the
United States Navy are caused by the
abuse heaped upon the enlisted sailors
by the petty officers. and the Dolphin
is cited as one OF the most conspicuous
examples.
That the reference to the Dolphin is
not true is evidenced by the fact that
only six men have deserted in the past
two years. and these men. say the non
commissioned officers. were lazy and
unfit for the service

the mountain for some distance to reach

in the group. The ccinaany owns large
acreage ahead of the tunnel heading
Some veins have been cut and ore

are entirely gold bearing. The presen;
tunnel will serve TO open up few more

to be run for long distance, will be
started later from the base OF the mount

Taken at random as these shipments
are from among one days purchases, our
own people, as well as intending invest
ors, will be somewhat impressed with the
fact that for district that has been ex-
tensively advertised as a low-grade ore
producer. she can compare with other
camps of note very favorably. -Four out
of the five cars quoted exceeded the ave-
rage valuation of the sanpling ores pur-
chased by the sampling works. 1t will
also be noted that each Of the lots named
shows goodly percentage of gold, two
cars were generous in both gold and
silver, and one car was one-half lead,
beside the gold and silver trimmings.
The Idaho Springs district is fertile in
resources, magnificent in its possibilities.
Nature has strewn the precious metals
with q generous hand in the different
placers and true-6ssures surrounding this
