Coinage Record Broken.

San Francisco. April 4.-The coin
age of gold at the mint in this city
begun last February was concluded
last week. Superintendent Leach said
regarding the coinage:
THE mint has undoubtedly broken
all records for gold coinage since tho
use Of money began in civilization,
The amount coined this month reached
the enormous sum of $33, liz, 500, an
average of more than $1.000,000 a day. :
in fact. the deliveries to the superin-.
tendent from the coming department
during the last four days averaged 81
$4,000 per day. This. with the sum
of $21. .5S0,000 coined IN February,
makes total Of s54 ,693 500. In weight
this amount would make more than
ITO tons, or a little more than four
big carloads of twenty-five tons each.
"A research Of books and records
pertaining to coinage matters fails to
show any account of a coinage exc
cuted in the same length of time equal
to this in any of the other nations OF
the world"

TROOPS LEAVING
ORDERED HOME FROM TELLU-
RIDE.
Several Companies of National Guard
Relieved from Field Duty.

Denver April 4.-Word was re-
ceived in Denver yesterday to the ef-
feet that most of the troops which
went to Telluride recently were ordered
home by General Bell yesterday, leav-
ing Ridgway on special train at 8
o'clock in the morning. The troops
coming to Denver are expected to ar
rive here about noon to-day.
The two cavalry troops of Meeker
and Telluride will remain on the
ground in charge of General Bell, but
the infantry to the number of about
$50 men have teen relieved. Governor
Peabody was in Canon City all day
yesterday and the reason for so many
men returning at this time is not forth
coming. 1t is probable. however, that
General Bell has discovered that there
is little necessity existing at the pres
ont time for so many troops in the
field. He ordered the men on board
the train Saturday night under sealed
orders and it was thought possible
they were going to San Juan and Ouray
counties. where there had been rumors
of disturbances for some time. The
order to return home when 1t was
opened proved a surprise to the men as
well as their officers.
The special trains consis S of two sec
tions. On board the first section are:
Col. Lewis Barnum, commanding; Capt
Charles ID. Lewis, adjutant: Lieut. Il,
S. Young with Company d, Second in
fantry; Lieut.. f. A. Nicholas. commits
sary and quartermaster; Lieut.. A. W.
Hall with Company b, Second infan-
try; Lieut.. e. C. Baker, with Company
G. Second infantry; Capt. Cattermole
and the medical staff with three sick
men enlisted from Company F and two
sick men from Company NJ.
On the second section are: Mai II.
G Naylor of the Second infantry. COM
manding; Capt e. ID. Smith of the
First infantry; Lieutenant G. S. Law
renee with Company A, First infantry;
Capt. A. l.. Bing with Company F, First
infantry; Capt F. ID. Williams with
Company M. of the Second; Sergeant
Manning of Company X and eight
cooks
Major Naylor is directed to go to
Camp Goldfield by way of Denver. and
Sergeant Dittemore. Capt II. C. Smith
and Private Gray are directed to go to
Camp Goldfeld direct. The various
companies from different parts OF ths
state will make connections for their
homes at Pueblo and Colorado Springs.

View of Japanese Commander.

Chicago, April A special cable
pondent at Toxic says:
Field Marshal Yamagata, who, after
the emperor, is first in command of
the Japanese forces, and was the orig
inal organizer of the Japanese army
said to-day that the Japanese may
have to flght odds of two to one, and
that the clash may come at the Yalu
river. The marshal said:
"It is difficult to say where the first
big land battle will take place. The
Russians seem to be in force between
Lao Yang and Kaiping on the Man
churian railroad. They may cross the
mountains and possibly meet us at
1ehe Yalu.
Bridges and roads north of Anju
have been destroyed by the Russian
troops, and therefore the Japanese ad-
vance will be difficult. No doubt if
the Russians destroy the Manchuria
railroad it may be difficult to repair il
for the use of the Japanese troops.
Five months ago the Russian generals
planned to put 350,O0O men in the field
h They must have contemplated sup
ying them with ammunition and
food.
I'VE must expect to meet well
equipped and well nourished army OF
100000. 1t is difficult matter to fight
a nation with 100000 soldiers. We
have to lay our plans very carefully
There is no doubt that the Cossack
cavalry will worry the Japanese army,
which was originally intended for
home defense in the mountainous
country and is mainly composed of in
fantry. We must work with the ma
terial we possess"

ALLEGED Rvssian pissensions.

Paris, April 4.-The St Petersburg
correspondent Of the Echo de Paris
telegraphs as follows:
Rumors are current in high circles
of fresh dissensions between Viceroy
Alexieff and General Kuropatkin. 1t is
alleged that the viceroy wants his
views on the subject of the quickest
way OF Kidding the country OF Japanese
adopted, whereas General Kuropatkin
insists on retaining sole responsibility
for the conception and execution OF mil
itary operations. There is reason to
believe that General Kuropatkin Will
be left free, Viceroy Alexief being too
iudicious to create trouble on account
of a mere supposed slight.

Port Arthur Defenses.

Port Arthur, April appropriations
have been made to give the Japanese a
warm reception in case they again at
tempt to block the harbor. Vice Adj
miral Togo was right in surmising that
Vice Admiral Makaroff is responsible
for the change in Russian naval tactics
and for the inspiration of Russian sea-
men.
A signalman named Andronsenko,
who during the bombardment of Vladi-
vostok remained at a small signal sta
tion on Askold island. near the enemy's
ships, and wired information of the
movements of the enemy to the forts,
has been decorated with the cross of st.
George.

American Commander Defended.

Odessa, April Before proceeding
for Sebastopol with the survivors of
the wrecked Russian war vessels Va
,riag and Korietz. Captain Stepanoff
made a statement to the Associated
Press regarding the United States gun
boat Vicksburg incident at Chemulpo.
He said:
"All the time the Vicksburg was sta
toned at Chemulpo her captain held
sloof. He took no part in the confer
ence Of protest preceding the fight, for
the simple reason that he was not in
vited to do so. After the fight. like
the others. he sent surgeon with q
boat to the rescue. AS regards his not
taking Russian seamen aboard tho
vicksburg this was unnecessary, and II
is more than probable that Captain
Rudineff. commanding the Variag. did
mot ask It"

Loaded The Telephone.

The telephone connection OF the
Mutual Telephone Company with
Getaway and vicinity has been
completed, aud with II comes woes
for the farmer who is handling 6he
instruments.
The first accident TO be recorded,
and one OF the most unusual in
the history OF telephony, happen.
ed yesterday. The telephone that
had been Installed 10 one Of the
houses on tho line got out OF or
der, and, instead OF calling in tel
ephone man, the farmer, who was
Of ? mechanical turn OF mind, de-
cided that he would repair his
o@n phone.
Consequently he carefully began
taking the instrument to pieces TO
ascertain the location OF the trou-
bic. In so doing he took apart the
transmiiter and granulated carbon
WAS spilled upon the. floor. The
farmer examined carbon, became
convinced that 1t was ordinary
gun powder, or at least gunpow-
der would do just as well. Con-
sequently gunpowder took the
place OF carbon, the telephone was
put together again and the farmer
made an attempt to call central, to
determine whether or not his re-
pairs had been successful,
He rang the bell, there was q
spark from the electric contact, the
powder ignlted an explosion fol-
lowed, the telephone was wreck
and the farmers face was consid.
erably the worse for the wreck.
Its dollars to doughnuts that an
expert well be called in the next
time telephone gets out OF order
in that vicinity. Huntington Ad-

To insure a more perfect admin

To effect the prompt and impair.

To protect citizens from the evils
Of careless and corrupt legislation.
To secure such legislation as The
interests Of the people may from

To see that the several political
parties select good candidates for
office.
To arouse a more widely extend.
ed Interest in civic affairs.
10 work for the betterment oi

To use all means within our
power to better the quality OF ouI

To awaken the public conscience
