determined to appoint Dunn secretary of Arizona as evidence of his displeas- ure with Ode1l and as a special proof of his regard for Senator Platt and Colonel Dunn. For long time MT. Roosevelt. and Colonel Dunn have been very close friends.
 Colonel Dunn is a forceful character, and his strong individuality has made him a prominent figure in New York political and business life ever since he was young man. He is now about 62. and is in the prime of manhood, so far as appearances go. He stands six feet twO and is broad approximately.
 He comes honestly by his title of colonel having made a distinguished record in the civil war. At the out brcak of the rebellion he went to the front as 9. private, and was wS1n6e1 and captured by the confederates in ore of the first enga Sements. He was lodged iE Libby prison. whence he finally escaped and returned to B!sg- hanNon, much broken in health. AS soon as he had recuperatcd sufficiently to return tc the service he formed a company of his neighbors. w9s elected ca -tain, and again went to the front, in the 109th New York volunteers, Of which Colonel Benjamin F. Tracey WIS which Colonel Benjamin F. Tracy was lant soldier that he was made colonel of the regiment when Colonel Tracy was made a brigadier, and served throughout the war.
 Since the war Colonel Dunn has heen quite active in business and poli- ties He was sheriff of his county two terms, and served many years as postmaster of Binghamton, and has held several other offices. At present ho is one of the states railroad con- missiCners, at ~ salary of $S000 a year, ss we'll as chairman of the state com mittee. Tn business he has made a sue cess quite as marked as in politics. His business standing may be gauged by the fact that during the panic times of the early nineties he served as re- ceiver for three suspended banks and successfully strengthened out the af- fairs of each. He is independently wealthy, and is rated as Sworth three quarters of a million dollars. He has been interested in Arizona mines for sone years, and is said to be very fa- Tniliar with territorial conditions. His friends in Washington say that if he S1eg to Arizona as secretary he will become permanent resident of Phoe- nix.

THE COST OF IT ALL.

Denver March Ex-Governor Pea body's order abolishing martial law in the Telluride district removes the mil itary from any active participation in the affairs of the strike infested dis tricts of Colorado.
 The troops were first brought into use in the Cripple Creek district over six months ago. The cost to the state for military operations during Cover nor Peabody's administration is esti- mated at over $60,OOO. This includes the miners strikes at Cripple Creek and Telluride and the mill and smelter- mems strike st Colorado City. All these strikes were the direct result Df the contest being waged between the members of the Western Federation of Miners and the Colorado Mine Owners association. The eight hour rule is the principal demand of the miners.

 Much for Him.

Denver. Colo, March 11.-A petition for divorce filed in the district court of Big Horn county, Wyoming, on Jan. 9th last, by William F. Cody Buffalo BID has been made public.

coNFIRMAToRY STORY.
Colonel Dunn's Name Will Be Sent m
 in a Few Days.

Washington, March 1.-(Special to The Republican)-Col George w. Dunn, chairman of the republican state committee of New York is to be secretary of Arizona, succeeding Isaac T. Stoddard. on April 1st. Col. Dunn's appointment will be sent. to the senate by the president in the course of a few days. It was agreed upon sever al days ago, and may be credited to the presidents willingness to do Ssna' tor Platt of New York a favor.
 When Ndr. Platt became aware that MT. Stoddard did not desire to retain his position he asked the president to name Col. Dunn, who lives at Birm- inghamton, N. Y, Stoidard's old home, and who is to retire from the chairmanship of the republican state committee at the coming state con vention, at which time Governor Odell will formally succeed Platt as leader of the party in New York state.
 Col. Dunn has interests in Arizona and is understood to be much pleased over his appointment. Inasmuch as his name has not been mentioned heretofore in connection with the sec retaryship it is assumed here that the news will be in the nature of a sur prise to Governor Brodie, who ireeom- mended Auditor Nichols, and to the supporters of Garrett T. Ryan, who have been exceedingly active in his behalf. It is understood that the presi- dent concluded that in view of the warm rivalry for the place that it would 4be advisable to go outside the territory for a candidate. Col. Dunn is a politician of long standing. He succeeded Odell as chairman of the New York republican committee. He is a warm friend of Secretary Stod- dard. CHARLES C. RANDOLPH.

Butte, Mont, March 11-Reports from the eastern part of the state tell of damage done by high water from the Yellowstone. At Miles City, the Ice in the Tongue river broke up and gorged where it empties into the Yel- lowstone, four miles above Miles City.
 The river overfiowed and the entire residence portion of the town Is flood ed. Dynamite is being used to break up the blockade, but so far the at tempt has been unsuccessful.
