States military attaches to the Japa-
nese army, arrived from Washington
yesterday and is at the Palace. His
first duty after arrival was to call upon
General Macarthur. and later he Wis
tied his West Point classmate, Major
Parker w. West.
Colonel COwder is a man of serious
mein, thoughtful and quiet and about As
years of age. He graduated from West
Point in 1881. In speaking of his pres
ent detail Colonel Crowder said:
It shall sail for Toxic on Saturday, in
company with Captain March. and
there we shall be Joined by the other
two members of our party. We shall
expect to be allowed to go to the best
points of vantage to view the progress
of the war. We are sent to learn. and
go merely as observers to report the
methods employed, that our army may
profit by them. You may say for me, If
you choose, that 1 have no opinion to
express as to the probable duration of
the war We shall try to cover the en-
tire field of military operation. 1 be-
lieve we shall receive every facility for
so doing-facilities equal to those our
Government extended to the japanese
during the Spanish American war"
On leaving West Point Colonel Crow
der went into the Eighth Cavalry, since
which time he has advanced to his
present high position. In 1895 he was
appointed judge advocate and went to
the Philippines as soon as the war
broke out. There he became an Asso-
ciate Judge of the Supreme Court. He
was afterward made military secretary
under General E. S. Otis. He framed
the laws that were promulgated during
the military administration, and was
chief adviser in legal matters pertain
ing to the ownership of the different
properties on the islands. Colonel
Crowder's knowledge of the law was Of
great value to the officials at the time
they were attempting to introduce the
civil government. Colonel Crowder was
the author of the Criminal Code, which
is still the code of the islands. In June,
1901, he was made brigadier general Of
volunteers as a reward for his services.
Colonel Crowder continued to act as
Judge advocate until the Philippine
Commission took full charge, on July
4, 1901, when he returned to this coun-

During the war in South Africa when
the Beers made a complaint to our
Government that the British Govern
ment had established a military camp
at Port Chalmette, ten miles from New
Orleans, for the purposes of purchasing
horses and mules for the English army,
Colonel Crowder was sent to investi-
gate. His report to the President was
to the effect that while officers of the
British army were buying horses at
that point there had been no violation
of the neutrality laws. The incident
aroused much comment in this country
among the sympathizers of the Beers.
Captain P Hegardt of Stockholm,
member Of the royal Swedish general
staff. arrived here yesterday from Eu-
rope and is registered at the California.
He is on his way to the Orient to wit

SOUTHERN COLORADO
STRIKE TO BE SETTLED
Officers and Members of Miners Union
Expect to Be Ordered Back to
Work Within Few Days.

DENVER, March 3.-A report was
current to-day that the strike of coal
miners in the Southern Colorado field
was about to be settled. 1t has been
impossible TO confirm the rumor.
Secretary Kahling of the local
branch of the United Mine Workers
Of America said to-day he thought the
strike would be called off soon. A
delegation of union miners from Eagle
came to Trinidad and asked that the
strike be declared off so they could
go to work. Several officers of Dis
trict 5, United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, believe the strike will be called
off, as also do hundreds of miners.
It is believed that the strike cannot
be called off unless President John
Mitchell gives his consent.

The Russians did not attempt TO pre-
vent their landing. The activity of

first Of the three Shakespearean recitals

Mrs. c. E. Grunsky introduced Dar-
rach, who was accorded a flattering
reception before he began his recital,
and at the close he was given a hearty
verdict for his mastery Interpretation
of Shakespeare's remarkable play.
He took the five acts and imper-
sonated each Of the characters, with a
short explanation preceding each i'm
pOrtant scene to make UP for the lack
of stage accessories.
Mr.. Darrach is powerful as an inter-
prefer. He is fntelligible and easily fol-
lowed. and this to the student OF the
bard of Avon means much.
1t was noticeable that besides the
members of the auxiliary there were
numerous juveniles in the audience,
some of whom had copies of Shake
speare and studiously followed the text
and Mr.. Darrach.
There will be a recital on Wednesday
night, March 8, when Julius Caesar"

not far distant. provided the nation
