MORGAN NOMINATED.
Republicans Name a Boulder
Man for Senator.

The convention of the Republicans Of
the 26th senatorial district, held for the
purpose of nominating a senator, was
called to order at Golden last Saturday.
There was quite contest for the nom.
ination between Messrs. S. V. Newell
and w. q. Matthews OF this city and r.
w. Morgan OF Boulder. The convention
was unable to decide upon a nominee
Saturday. deadlock being effected.
The Gilpin delegation Of II votes were
Interchangeable for Newell, while the
Clear Creek and Jefferson delegations
with total Of 20 stood firmly by Mat
thews. Boulder with its 80 delegates
was determined to nominate Morgan.
After balloting several hours without
changing the vote, the convention ad-
journed to meet in Denver at the Brown
Palace hotel Tuesday, that city being
more centrally located for all the coun-
ties comprising the 26th district. Mean
while Matthews supporters were ex.
hausting every effort to have Newell
withdraw and throw the Gilpin delega-
ton or part OF it to their man to pre-
vent Morgan being named. But Sam
uel V. was obstinate and wouldn't be
budged. He was either going to land
the plum or no other Gilpin county man
would carry off the honors. So when
the convention re-convened Tuesday
and after 118 ballots had been taken
without breaking the deadlock, the JEFF
ferson delegation saw it was impossible
to nominate Matthews and the votes
were then cast as the delegates saw fit
with the result that Morgan received 81,
Newell 10 and Matthews IL.
S. V. Newell was elected senator from
the 26th district two years ago, but was
never given seat in the senate. The
reason was, there had been So senators
elected ITO 35 seats. Newell still claims
the senatorship and says he will contest
the Democratic and Republican nomina-
tions before the secretary OF state. He
made this same bluff, however, before
the Democrats nominated their candi-
date but was given the deaf ear. By
his actions in preventing the nomination
being given Gilpin county man be.
cause he couldn't procure it, Newell has
made no friends with the Republicans
Of this section, and the contrariness he
displayed will only serve to hasten bis
political downfall.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Harold F1aherty Severely In
iured on a Hook.

Harold Flaherty, the S.year old son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Mike Flaherty. while re-
turning from school Monday afternoon
met with an accident which may result
in his death. He stopped at Philips
Ebli & Co.'S. stables on County Road
street to play in the loft. He went up
stairs. which is filled with loose hay, and
in walking about stepped into an open
ing above the manger, falling downward
and impaling himself on meat hook
which is used as step in getting to the
loft. The hook entered the right side,
tearing it open from the waist to the
arm pit. The right lung was pierced
and torn almost in two. Little Harold
showed remarkable pluck while subject
ed to the frightful experience. He man
aged to free himself without the aid Of
anyone and didn't 80 much as cry for
help. After walking quite distance he
met Albert Gundy who noticed that the
boy looked deathly pale. He asked what
was ailing him and young Flaherty put
his hand to his injured side and said he
was bleeding. Gundy went up to him
ard found his clothing saturated with
blood and also saw the wound. He told
the plucky little fellow he had better go
to physician which he did, walking
alone to the Office OF DR.. Asquith. His
wound was dressed and he was removed
to the home OF his parents on 1st High
street and from latest reports his con
dition, though precarious, there is slight
hope for his recovery.

MARINERS ARE NERVOUS.

PORTLAND, Nov 20.-The unusually
severe storm of wind and rain which
prevailed off the Oregon coast for the
past few days is subslding although
there was seemingly little less force to
the gale to-day than yesterday, when
maximum of eighty-eight miles an hour
was reached at Astoria.
So far as known there has been no
disaster to shipping. Owing to a mis-
calculation in the day she was due to
arrive and a private message from As
toria that the Portland and San Fran
cisco steamer George w. Elder had ex-
perienced a terrible trip, a report be-
came widely circulated this afternoon
that the steamer had put in to Astoria
in a badly crippled condition. The Ell
der, however, arrived at her dock in
Portland two hours ahead of time and
reported no more serious mishap than
the bruising of several of the passen-
gers who were unable to keep their
feet.
notwithstanding the safe arrival of
the Elder there is considerable nervous
ness in marine circles concerning the
safety of several craft about due at
Astoria. Two schooners sighted Friday
have not been seen since. The wires to
nearly all coast points are either down
or working badly and news will be
meager until the wind subsidies.
Locally the storm has been the cause
Of a few minor accidents and a good
deal of discomfort. Several trees have
been uprooted and several houses in
course of construction have been un-
rooted, but further than this no dam
age has resulted.

STORM RACES
IN THE NORTH
Shipping Men DiScredit Ru-
NOR of Loss of Barkentine
MakaWeli Off Vancouver

TACOMA, Wash, Nov. 20.-Torrents
of rain fell here last night and to-day
and a high gale prevailed but no ma
rine disasters are reported. The wire
to Tatoosh is down. a terrific storm
prevailing off Cape Flattery.
Shipping men discredit the Victoria
report of the wrecking of the barken-
tine Makaweli. She was loaded with
coal in Tacoma, taking about LOO tons
for Mazatlan Mexico. The story from
Victoria about the barkentine being
overloaded with deck cargo Of lumber
and turning turtle is probably untrue.
The Makaweli is well down in the
water with coal and the rough dimen-
sion lumber which is being found along
the shores is certainly not from the
MakaweH.
The fact that life buoy bearing the
barkentines name has been carried
ashore is no proof that the ship has
gone to the bottom. While nothing has
been heard of the Makaweli since she
sailed from Tacoma, October 80, it is
possible that she may have been car
ried TO the north in the high gales, but
the finding Of lumber shows that it is
some other vessel than the barkentine
which foundered

MUKDEN, Nov 20.-The Japanese
attack on Putiloff Hill has demon
strated the efficacy of the Russians
defensive works. Two battalions en-
gagged in the attack occupied the first
line of the Russian trenches, but at the
second line were caught in pits and
entanglements and exposed to a CALLING
fire. A Russian bayonet attack COM
pleted their decentralization.
The weather continues mild, with clear
nights, which are favorable to night

There are many rumors Of Japan

is nothing tending to show that gen.

than heretofore.

This movement has proved unsuccess-

point along the front has not yet de-
Veloped. Some correspondents note
what they consider significant Japan
ese movements on the Russian right,
and others that a Japanese column is
moving fifty or sixty miles eastward;
but the opinion in military circles
seems to be that no great movement
is likely TO occur before the fate OF
Port Arthur is decided. At the same
time it is recalled here that General
Kuropatkin's great aggressive move
ment of last month was in full swing
a week before the outside world real

COUPLE Y ALKS
4l,0OO MILES
Reach Hongkong OH Way
Home to Collect Wager of
$4,000 Made by Papers
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, Nov. 20.-George O'Mal-
ley and wife of New York and San
Francisco, who arrived in Hongkong
last month, claim to have walked
1000 miles in five years. They say
this was done for a wager of $4,000
subscribed by the New York Police
Gazette, the Mirror of Life of New
York and a paper in San Francisco,
the condition being that they would
walk around the world, a distance of
IL 900 miles, within five years.
They started on their trip from San
Francisco in October five years ago.
While going to New York to sign the
contract O'Malley fell in love with
the woman who is now his wife and
after a short courtship found his
fiancee would not permit his going
without her. He laughed at her de-
sire to share his long journey afoot,
but she was obdurate. He eventually
consented, married her posthaste and
they started the day after the we'd
ding.
They are now en- route home after
traversing every country named in the
wager. It's conditions provided they
should not carry any money. clothes
or food except a change of clothes and
one days provisions. They have sold
postcards and delivered lectures to de-
fray travelling expenses.

ST. PETERSBURG. Nov 2I-Rati-
fications Sf the Anglo Russian Dogger
Bank convention will be exchanged
here between Count Lamsdorff and
ambassador Hardinge. The principal
modification Of the British text of the
convention, as finally accepted by both
powers, Will consist in clearly impos-
ing upon the commission the task Of
locating the blame, irrespective of per-
sons or nationality.
Both the American and the French
governments have been informally ap-
prised that they are expected to select
members Of the commission, and when
the formal joint invitations are issued
they will be expected promptly to an
nounce the selection. In order TO OBJ
viate delay Emperor Francis Joseph
has been selected to name the fifth
member Of the commission, in case
four should be unable to agree.
An officer of the transport KAN
chatka was detached at Dakar and
will proceed TO Paris as a fifth Russian
witness.
Much interest is displayed here in
the report that a British warship fired
upon the Carron line steamship Grange
off the coast Of Scotland. as showing
that mistakes at sea are not confined

conventions. He says that they have
compelled the abandonment, by the
Russians. Of three plainly marked hos

were aboard the haf-sunken steam
ship Angara also had TO be removed.
These ships, says General Balashoff,

the Russian warships. He further says
that the japanese, who use balloons

shells with minute accuracy into the

WASHINGTON. Nov. 2O.-With Secre-
tary Morton asking Congress to give
the navy $114,530,638 for it's expenses
in the fiscal year beginning July /, 1905,
1t is apparent that a fleet costing $780,,
OOO,00O year has come to stay. This
vast expenditure means that the policy
of naval expansion viii go on until
the American navy is second only to
that of England in size and will re-
main, as now, second to none in ship
to-ship efficiency
When all the American warships
now building are completed, the navy
will be the third largest in the world.
England and France will be first and
second.
The sentiment which causes the up
building of the navy was awakened
twenty years ago, when naval expendi-
lures We're small. Only S14,819, ,976 80
was appropriated by Congress in 1888.
The cost gradually increased until 1898,
when, with the Spanish American war
in sight, it aggregated s33, ,00S,2S4. The
expenditures in 1899 jumped to $685.
1888 and since then, by leaps and
bounds. they have increased, as ship
after ship has been added to the list.
The navy of January 1, 1906, upon
which the brunt of service would fall
in the event of war, will be: Battle
ships IL, armored cruisers S. protected
cruisers 21, torpedo boat destroyers 16,
torpedo boats 35.
Not all of these ships are now IN
commission. The most notable addi-
tions will be the armored cruisers Col
orado, Pennsylvania, West Virginia
and South Dakota. No armored cruis-
ers have been added to the fleet since
the Brooklyn and New York were put

Il four companies of unmounted vol
unteers were sent into the japanese
positions They reached Chanlinza,
where they were met with a heavy
rife fire and forced TO retire. At 8
o'clock in the morning the Russians
discovered a column of Japanese
creeping down a hill. They attacked
a grove forming a part of the Russian
foremost position on the right side
The japanese advanced without fir
ing and rushed the grove with hur-
rahs. but in the face of the fire from
the Russian trenches they turned and
fed. After some time the japanese
repeated the attack, but again were
repulsed.
After the second attack the Jap
anese, breaking up into small groups
began TO retire. They were followed
by a well aimed fire, which continued
until dawn. Near the trenches eighty
japanese cOrpses were found and
further along in the valley were Wis
ible japanese bodies which it was i'm
possible to gather in view of the Jap
3nese fire. Four Japanese were made
prisoners and thirty rifles and a guam
tity of ammunition abandoned on the
field were taken by the Russians.
On the morning of November IS
Russian batteries bonn mbarded Chan
