Thanksgiving Football Games.

Denver, Nov. 25.-Two football
games were played in Denver yester-
day in the presence of enormous
crowds The State University played
against the Leland Stanford University
of California and was defeated by a
score of 33 to 0. The University of Den
yer played against the State School OF
Mines and lost the game by score OF
~ to 6. OF the latter game the Repub-
lican says: 1.-The score tells the result,
but does not show anything about the
game. 1t was one of the most interest
ing games Denver has seen for long
time, the result being in doubt until
the final whistle blew. Both teams
played fast, snappy game. at times
the play being SO fast that 1t was DIFF
ficult to follow It, The game was full
of spectacular plays, A. Pate getting
away twice, once for a a,sixty-yard run
to a touchdown and again for fifty
yard run down the field; Hughes ran
eighty-five yards to the goal posts and
thought he had touchdown, but 1t was
not allowed, as the referee had blown
his whistle and the ball was dead be-
fore Hughes took It.
Both schools were supported by
large crowds of rooters, and they rooted
long and loud and all the time. Toe
Miners were helped with their songs
by the Fort Logan band. which had
been engaged especially for the occa-
sion. During the intermission, the boys
from both schools formed long lines
and marched around the field shouting
and singing"
OF the Colorado-Stanford game the
News says:
"a throng of over 10000 enthusiastic
and football-mad people saw Leland
Stanford defeat the University OF Colt
RADIO in a splendidly clean and sports
manlike game of football at Broadway
park yesterday afternoon. The Califor-
MIA eleven won a speedy and spectaou-
lar game on its merits. Colorado put
up a heroic and determined defense,
which wrung cheers of appreciation and
encouragement from the thousands OF
loyal supporters present"
An immense crowd came from Boul-
der to witness the game. Those who
saw the arrival of the Boulder trains
declared that the whole town must be
depopulated.

kin is the possessor of a new twenty
horse power automobile, with which
he is able to rush at high speed from
one part to another of the line, twenty
five miles long, according to NJ. Ra-
voir, who reached here to-day from
Mukden.
The Chinese now regard Kuropatkin
and his machine with superstitious
awe, believing the latter to be an afro
ciously powerful specimen of the
foreign devil" M. Ravoir said:
"The two armies lie facing each
other. each having three fortified lines.
The soldiers of both armies live
mostly in caves behind their trenches,
which, when covered with snow. have
the appearance of great host Of polar
bears waiting to spring at each other
The caves are warm. even without fire
The Russian troops are IN the best OF
spirits and have unlimited confidence
in their leaders. They expect Kuropat-
kin to attack during the winter. The
Russian forces now number 100000
men. The cavalrymen from the Don
district are superior to their Siberian
comrades. The former are intelligent
brave and active, and have fine, pow
erful horses.

New Cruiser Pennsylvania.

Boston, Nov. 24.-The armored
cruiser Pennsylvania. in her official
trip off the New England coast yester'
day, made the highest speed with the
smallest relative expenditure OF fuel
of any armored vessel so far built for
the United States navy.
Her contract called for 20 knots. and
ner average speed for the four hours
trial was 22.43 knots per hour. while
her coal consumption was 2,2 pounds
per horse power per hour.
Her builders, William Cramp & Son
of Philadelphia, made no attempt
throughout the trial to push this, their
greatest vessel, but on the other hand,
bent their energies to exceed the gov
ernment requirement at the most eco
nomic expenditure OF fuel possible. Her
trial was therefore the first OF the nu'
merous tests over the Cape Ann course
where speed was not the object sought
for.

that large number of Russians at
heart hope that Japan will win the
fight. Soldiers desert at every oppor-

In the recent election in Wyoming
the capital fight" as the proposition
to permanently locate the state capt.
tai was called, overshadowed all other
contests because of the bitter fight
waged for and against Cheyenne, the
present site OF the capitol.
The Republican correspondent has

capital question, and the total vote
cast, with the vote by counties, is here
given, showing that Cheyenne failed to
get the necessary majority to secure
the permanent location of the capital.

OF A PROMINENT NEW MEXICAN.
J, Francisco Chaves, Former Delegate
to Congress and President Of Ter
rftoriai Senate, Shot at Supper

Table at Pinos Wells.
Albuuuerque, N. NJ, Nov. 27.-Col-
onel ]. Francisco Chaves. former dele
gate in Congress from New Mexico,
president of the New Mexico Senate
( and one of the foremost politicians OF
the territory, was assassinated last
night while he sat at supper in Pinos
Wells, a sheep ranch supply station
100 miles southeast of Albuquo fque, IN
1 the center OF the vast Estancia plains.
The accepted theory is that Colonel
Chayes was killed by political enemies,
as the result of bitter factIonal fight
for the election of county officers In
Torrance county, which has recently
been created by the Legislature.
Colonel Chaves had gone to the
range with Louis Trauer of this city to
buy sheep, and, being unable to finlsh
n his business and return to the railroad.
went to the home of Juan F. Salas, in
Pinos Wells. for the night.
| At z o'clock, as the party sat at sup.
per, a shot was fired through the open
window, and the bullet struck Colonel
Chayes at the base of the brain, killing
him instantly. The shot was fired
from a point so close to the window
that the powder was ground Into the
glass.
The assassin, who was alone. made
his escape on horseback Three pos
ses, under the sheriffs Of three coun-
ties are securing the plains and coun'
/ try in search of the criminal. No ar
rests have yet been made. but nun.
Der of men in Torrance county are
said to be under suspicion as the insti-
gators of the assassination.
Colonel Chaves was reelected to the
Senate, and his entire ticket carried
the county against an Independent Re-
publican ticket. Much bitterness re-
suited from the contest.
The assassination has created deep
feeling all over New Mexico, where tho
veteran politician was held in great
respect. II the assassin is caught
lynching is expected.
Colonel Chaves was the grandson of
Francisco Xavier Chaves. first cover.
nor of New Mexico under the republic.
He was born in 1898 and crossed tho
plains to st. Louis, where he received
his education, completing under Ed
ward Delafield in New York. Return
ing to New Mexico in 1S4l, he led the
/. noted campaign against the Navajo
Indians, in which he was repeatedly
wounded. During this period he was
elected a member of the Legislature
which he held until his election to
Congress. In 1861 Lincoln appointed
him major in the regiment Of which
Kit Carson was colonel, and which
served in the defense of Fort Union
and at the battle of Valverde.
After serving term in Congress
Colonel Chaves was returned to the
New Mexico Senate and elected presi-
dent, a position he has held continu-
ously. Although seventy-ore years old.
he was still one of the most powerful
forces in New Mexico politics. At the

FESTIVAL is TO BE REVIVED
Great Denver Carnival to Take Place
at the Time Of the G. A. r. Ma.
tionaI Encampment Next Fall.

Denver, Nov. 26.-At largely at
tended and enthusiastic meeting o. the
directors of the Mountain and Plain
Festival Association last night a reso-
luton introduced by F. C. Smutzer
that the Board of Directors give a
Festival in 1905" was received with
cheers and adopted by a 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
a meeting OF the board.
Tho proposition came up at a meet
ing Of directors to consider the enter
tainment of the Civil War veterans at
the reunion in Denver next year. Presi-
dent c. M. Day. representing the COM
mittee, which was composed OF him
self, G. H. Reynolds, F. G. Smutzer and
j. 8. 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,
.ha was Of tho OniniOn would flll 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
Denyer's autumn season.

Army SHOWING
IN SECRETARY TAFTs REPORT
Where Our Soldiers Are Stationed and
How They Are Farins.-5est Cared
for of ANY Army in the World.

Washington. Nov. 29.-The annual
report of the secretary OF war shows
that October 15, 1904, the actual
ltrength of the regular army was D.
744 officers and 56,439 enlisted men. OF
whom 1917 were in the Philippines.
1,O42 in Alaska, PIG in Hawaii, 1856 in
China and ten in Porto Rico
There were also in the service twen-
ty-one officers and $40 enlisted men OF
the Porto, Rico regiment. 100 enlisted
officers and 1878 enlisted Philippine
scouts and 3.167 hospital corps men.
These figures show total net increase
during the year of $50.
1.-The very heavy calls upon the line
of the army for details of officers TO the
general staff, to military schools and
to other general military purposes OF a
useful kind, reduce the number OF Of
ficers available for service with troops
below the point of proper efficiency. 1t
would be wise. therefore, for Congress
to make provision for additional Off
GERS of the line.
"The total number of enlistments in
the army during the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1904. exclusive of the hospital
corps and Philippine scouts was 27,-
$3.50. OF this number 6,372 were re-en-
listments and 21,O0S were original en-
listments.
"Of the 1880 accepted applicants
25,S46 were white Americans; 1,2is
were colored Americans; 80 were In
dians; 222 were Porto Ricans, and 80
were Filipinos; $50 were enlisted for
the staff departments and Is 79l for the
line.
! I'm making these 26,79t enlistments
the recruiting officers examined 11D,-
243 men, of whom S3, 3,452, or about sew
enty-six per cent, were rejected as
lacking in either mental, moral or ply
steal qualifications; 2,285 of these were
rejected as aliens and 4,6pS as Hitter
ates.
Continuance of the gradual but de
cided improvement in the condition ol
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 pei
thousand of strength of the whole army
for disease and injury during the las
calendar year, as compared with 1902
Notwithstanding the fact that NEAR
strength of 25,379 troops were on for
eign service during the year, only 62!
deaths occurred from all causes in thu
entire army-American and nativ'
troops-equal to rate of $50 per thou
sand as compared with 1913 for thu
previous year.
"Of this death rate more than fifteeI
per cent. was due to cholera in tn,
Phillipines-an accidental and TEN
porary condition. The significance o
these figures becomes more apparen
when 1t is known that the census of tn
United States for 1890 gives an averag
death rate of S.95 per 1000 adult male
of the military ages, twenty to forty
five years.
in the Un.,ed States the admission
rate during 1908 for disease and injur.
was reduced from 1,34377 per thousan,
to 1,206.S9, and the death rate was re
duced from 7.S3 to 5.94.
i 'It is no exaggeration to say tina
the troops of the United States are tn
best fed, best clothed and best sheltered
troops in the world"
