 MT. Douglas statement concerning Lieutenant General Miles and his staff was as follows: During my absence from the state I had consultations with Lieutenant General Miles about mili- -tary affairs in Massachusetts. The ideas of General Miles and myself con- corning these affairs are in exact ac- cord and General Miles will undoubt- edly be my chief military adviser dur ing my administration. I shall proba- bly, request the war department at Washington to detail Lieutenant Gen eraI Miles to report to me under the provisions of a law recently passed by congress, and General Miles will un- doubtedly accept the detail. "I am anxious to secure the advice and cooperation of General Miles in the administration of the military af- fairs of the commonwealth and Gen. , eral Miles has stated that he would consider it an honor to be asked by
 the governor of his native state for his advice and assistance.
 | General Miles will serve me on my
 staff and his great ability and expe-
 rience cannot fail to be of inestimabl'
 benefit to the state and its organized militia
 ! Ut is also most likely that both the
 positions of adjutant general and in 1 spector general on my staff will b' filled by retired officers of the reguia

town and tEe work of starting the shafts was auspiciously inauguFated.
 The wage agreement with the miners remained in force until the coal veins were reached and the active work of bringing the product of the mine to the surface and shipping it to mar ket was begun. MT. Letter, in keeping with the plans which he had adopted when he entered the mining field, de- termined to have only the latest and most improved mining machinery in use at the Zeigler mine.
 Among the mechanical adjuncts 1m- ployed was a steam loading device, which MT. Letter asserted was capable of loading a stated number of tons per hour. Representatives of the min ers' union examined the loading ma chine and differed with Mir. Letter re garding the amount Of work that could be accomplished in Q given pc riod. As the men were to be paid by piece work, this was vital matter and upon the loading machine is said to have hinged all the trouble that has followed.
 ! MT. Letters wage proposition was re- l jected by the union miners. After the expiration of the time given by the union for a revision of the proposed wage scale the union men left ZelgIel and formed what proved to be per manent camp, four miles distance iron ' the town.

TEXAS VERSUS ARIZONA
EI PasO Football Team Will Play a
 Picked Eleven Here.

On New Years day a football game will be played at Eastlalze park, which will be the biggest event of the sea son in the local sporting world. The far famed Fl Paso hesvyweights on that day will meet a team composed of the best players of the high school and In dian school teams. This combine should make the strongest team that Phoenix can produce.
 It is conceded by all that the Indian team rush line is almost invincible and that it's great weakness was the ends and quarterback position. With no field captain and weak ends the In dians have had a disastrous season. However, in the coming contest these positions will be filled by the high schools best men. Mayors will play quarterback and he is considered one of the best men in the territory in his position. Mccarthy, the line plunging and kicking fuliback will hold down his old position and probably captain the team. Creech, the plucky little end who distinguished himself in the high schooI-normaI game, will probably be in the line up.
 1t is certain that Doolittle, the pride of the Indian team and the best half back in Arizona. will play his old po- sition. LugO will likely play the eth CT half, while Yukenina will be shift ed to the end. Both these men have played at Carlisle and will greatly strengthen the team The rush line is as yet undetermined with the exCep- ton of Romero, the Indian fierce left guard, who tore through the normal line at will. He will play left tackle. Others who have a good show for the team from the Indian squad are Bus sell, David, French. Weirick and ChIm- ewava-
 Practice will commence Monday ev- ening at the Indian school and the squad will be coached by Lake of the Indians. and this coach. who has been so badly handicapped this season. will be given a chance to show the public what he can do with heady field cap tain to execute his plays and forma- tiOns.
 The Indians are negotiating for a Christmas game with Bisbee. but 1t has not yet been definitely arranged.

MANY GUNS CAPTURED
Heavy Artillery Firing, but an Early Clash of the Great-Armies Is not Expected-An Armstice at Port Ar. thur for the Burial of the Dead.

Mukden, Dec. 3.-AI day Friday the Russian siege guns bOmbarded the villages occupied by the Japanese to the east of the railroad and early this morning to the west of the railroad the Don Cossacks routed the Japanese south of Lidiatoun and captured eight guns. This brilliant action, described by a Chinese who, dressed as a Cos sack participated in the attack, is as follows: When volunteers were called for from two infantry regiments every man stepped forward and the Cos sacks in chorus asked not to be left behind when the little party was form ed. The order was given to depart at ? o'clock in the morning and all the men advanced with extreme caution and in dead silence, sometimes crawl ing and sometimes running. The party divided and attacked the Japanese po- sition~from two sides. The Japanese were sound asleep and they dld not even have time to raise a cry before all
 was over.
 Again we advanced and soon saw ! before us the outlines of a battery. i All the Japanese were asleep except the sentries. We encircled the bat tery and attacked the rear. The Jap ! anese had not. expected such ar auda- cious and sudden attack and when the Don Cossacks charged on Q. dead run followed by the chasseurs on foot, the Japanese were badly scared and una
 bic to realize what was happening
 They rushed, half dressed, from theil
 tents. only to be received by spear; land bayonets. The fight lasted only a few minutes, when the whole camI brOxe and fled in wild panic, leaving eight guns in our hands. We had m

The railroads are recovering from
N, the hardest hit road, is again
running trains on all it's line except
from Colville to Chewelah. This
stretch of track will be open in two
days at the rate the water Is falling.
In the meantime passengers for the
north continue to wait over in Spo-
kane.
The o. r. & N. had it's entire line
open for traffic last night and is
again selling tickets for the east.
The local situation is none improved.
The water this morning Is at about
the same height as last night. Should
the showers continue in Idaho with
warmer weather, a higher river may
be expected here. More rain is the
weather bureaus prediction.
Many through passengers have been
greatly inconvenienced by the S. F. &
N. washouts A number, from south
ern points, holding through tickets
have increased the profits of local
hotels by the enforced wait. Many
complaints and demands for indem-
nifty have been lodged with the rail-
road company, but the company
claims it can not be held under Its
contract tickets.
d. S. Prescott, the real estate man,
was a passenger on the last through
s. F. & n. train to reach the city and
gives a thrilling account of his ride
from Chewelah, SO miles, in "a hours.
Most of the way in we had a scout
on the cowcatcher, who pushed the
logs, brush and ties off the track and
kept a weather eye out for landslides.
Part of the time just the rails would
be covered with water and then we
would plunge into two feet and more
of it. The track would sink In places
under the weight of the train, but
luckily the rails and ties held to-
gether We were compelled to trans
fer at one point We at last landed
in Spokane, having travelled SO miles

TALK OF
SCHILLER

]. A. Schiller for chairman Of the
republican county convention is the
latest scheme sprung. Mr.. Schiller
is a pronounced Mcbride supporter
and this suggestion that he be made
the chairman instead of C. p. Lund,
the leader of the Mcbride forces Of
the city, comes as surprise.
Many Mcbride people say this
merely is an attempt of the anti
Mcbride men to divide the forces and
that these men have no thought of
being able to carry the convention,
but hope to secure the chairman and
in this way gain some advantage. The
will be q candidate and say he will re-
fuse to permit the use of his name
for this purpose.
There is talk among the anti-Mc-
Bride people of attempting to elect
d. T. Ham as chairman of the con-
vention.
Caucuses throughout the city and
in other incorporated towns of the
county were held last night, but no
significance attached to them
f. NJ Dudley announced today pos
itively that he will not be a candidate
for the superior judgeship.
The primaries will be held tomor-
row from o'clock till o'clock to-
morrow afternoon and the convention
Saturday.

MED the right of Hartman and Pierce
to file a petition against Hills pro-
posed pro rata distribution of North
ern Securities stock. 1t is a victory
for Hill.

cision was based on the following
grounds:

the Northern Securities company fer
the distribution of stock of the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific is not
in violation of the decree Of the SUI
preme court in the Northern Secur-
tiles case.
Second, none but the United States
can successfully appeal to-a court to
enjoin the execution of that plan on
the ground that it is in Violation of
the Sherman antitrust act, and the
United States expresses satisfaction
with the present decree.
Third. the stock of the two rail-
ways is not in custody of the court
Fourth, an Intervention is not
necessary to enable the petitioners
to protect any pecuniary interest or
equity they have. - Il
Justice Thayer delivered the opin-
ion.
