that a large number of Russians at
heart hope that japan will win the
fight. Soldiers desert at every pppor-

weekly.
Greenberg escaped by donning civil

SENATOR BUCKLEY DEAD.
succumbs to Consumption After Nov
ing to Denver.

Denver, Nov. 26.-State Senator
William S. Buckley died in Denver
last night between 1880 and 8 o'clock.
The death occurred at the Aldine, 1O13
East Seventeenth avenue, where Sena-
tor Buckley and his wife have made
their home since about six weeks ago,
when they removed to this city from
Montrose for the benefit OF his health.
Senator Buckley was hold-over
Democratic senator and looked for
ward with great interest to the COM
ing session of the Legislature. He was
operated upon four years ago for ap-
pendicitis and since that time has been
a sufferer from tuberculosis. The lat
ter disease, which precipitated heart
failure, was the cause of his death.
After coming to this country several
years ago he located at Montrose and
went into the mining business in the
Telluride district He was very sue
cessfu1 as a mining man and owned
some extensive properties, particularly
in Telluride.
During the past three or four years
his health had been gradually failing
and six weeks ago he came to Denver
to reside. For while he seemed to
be improving, but gradually became
weaker. Two nights ago he was seized
with the sick spell which brought on
his death. He was taken down very
suddenly, and the worst was feared i'm
mediately. His brother, Henry Buck.
ley, was wired at Telluride, and ar
rived here yesterday morning. The
wife and brother were both at the bed
side when death came last evening.
The remains will be shipped to Mil
waukee to-day. Both Senator Buckley
and his wife were natives of Wiscon-
sin. Their children, two girls and a
boy, are now going to school in that

MOUNTAIN PLAIN
FESTIVAL is TO BE REVIVED
Great Denver Carnival to Take Place
at the Time of the G. A. 4. Ma
tionai Encampment Next Fall.

Denver. Nov. 26.-At a largely at
tended and enthusiastic meeting OF the
directors of the Mountain and Plain
Festival Association last night a reso-
luton introduced by F. c. Smutxer
that the Board of Directors give
Festival in 1905" was received with
cheers and adopted by unanimous
vote.
Every one present gave the motion
his hearty support Assurances were
received from every director present
that he would begin this morning
booming the Festival. Never was such
enthusiasm over the project evident at
meeting of the board.
The proposition came up at meet
ing of directors to consider the enter
tainment of the Civil War veterans at
the reunion in Denver next year Presl-
dent c. NJ. Day, representing the COM
mittee, which was composed OF nim-
self, G. H. Reynolds, F. c. Smutzer and
J. S. Temple, reported that an inter
view with General George w. Cook,
past department commander OF the
Grand Army of the Republic. had
proved exceedingly satisfactory. The
committee was discharged.
Then Director Smutzer introduced
his resolution. He urged that next fall
would be an extremely fitting time for
the revival of the festival. He pointed
to the fact that the G. A. r. veterans.
the Eagles, the Electrical Engineers
and various other national bodies had
chosen Denver for their place OF an
nual meeting. The visitors, he de-
clared, would want amusement other
than that provided by the show places
and the tourist resorts. The festival,
he was OF the opinion, would fill that
want.
Director Shutters presentation OF
his reasons for the revival of the festi'
val found ready response in the minds
of his fellow directors. AS one man
they decided that the festivities
should again be made feature OF
Denver's autumn season.

ARMY SHOWING
IN SECRETARY rAFr's REPORT
Where Our Soldiers Are Stationed and
How They Are Farins.-sest Cared
for Of Any Army In the World.

Washington. Nov. 29.-The annual
report of the secretary OF war SHOWS
that October Is, 1904. the actuai
strength OF the regular army was o.
744 officers and 56,439 enlisted men, Oh
whom 1877 were in the Philippines,
I i,042 in Alaska, PIG in Hawaii, lSo III
China and ten in Porto Rico.
There were also in the service twen-
ty-one officers and 549 enlisted men OF
the Porto Rico regiment. 100 enlisted
officers and 3,97S enlisted Philippine
scouts and 3,167 hospital corps men.
These figures show a total net increase
during the year of $50.
"The very heavy calls upon the line
Of the army for details OF officers 10 tne
general staff, to military schools ana
to other general military purposes OF
useful kind, reduce the number OF Of
ficers available for service with troops
below the point of proper efficiency. IL
would be wise, therefore. for Congress
to make provision for additional ON
GERS of the line.
THE total number OF enlistments IN
the army during the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1904. Exclusive of the hospital
corps and Philippine scouts) was H.
$50. OF this number 6,372 we're re-en-
listments and 1,O0S were original en-
listments.
"of the 27,3so accepted applicants
25,S46 were white Americans; 1.24S
were colored Americans; 80 were In
dians; 222 were Porto Ricans. and 81
were Fi,ipinos; $50 were enlisted for
the staff departments and 26.791 for the
line.
I'm making these 26.791 enlistments
the recruiting officers examined no.
243 men, OF whom 81, ,452, or about sev-
enty-six per cent, were rejected as
lacking in either mental, moral or ply
steal qualifications; 2,2S5 of these were
rejected as aliens and 4,60S as Hitter
ates.
Continuance of the gradual but de-
cided Improvement in the condition of
troops which has been noted since san
itary matters have received the atten-
tion due them is shown by the lower
rate of admission to sick report per
thousand of strength of the whole army
for disease and injury during the last
calendar year, as compared with 1902.
Notwithstanding the fact that mean
strength of 25.379 troops were on for
eign service during the year, only 629
deaths occurred from all causes in the
entire army-American and native
troops-equal to a rate of $50 per thou
sand as compared VITA 15.49 for the
previous year.
"Of this death rate more than fifteen
per cent. was due to cholera in the
Phillipines-an accidental and tenn
porary condition. The Significance oi
these figures becomes more apparent
when it is known that the census of the
United States for 1890 gives an average
death rate of sos per 1000 adult males
of the military ages, twenty to forty
five years.
"In the Uniced States the admission
rate during 1903 for disease and injury
was reduced from 1,343.77 per thousand
to 1,206S9. and the death rate was re-
duced from 7.S3 to 5.94.
1T is no exaggeration to say that
the troops of the United States are the
best fed, best clothed and best sheltered
troops in the world"
