Followers of Senator Wolcott Are Said

Denver, Colo. December 29.--Very few

Peabody will be adopted by majority
OF the republican members is slil1 un-
decided.
The republicans have an even two

will be held next Monday AZ which time

are az least hall a dozen candidates for

Some -epublican members known as
followers Of former United States Sem

while they 90 not contemplate a union
with the democrats under any consider

EQUIP THE ARMY
IN TIME OF PEACE
Earl Roberts Discusses Cond :
tionS in England
HIGH STANDARD REQUIRED
Men Are No Longer Machines and the
Best Men of the Nation Must
Be Encouraged to Join
the Army.

London, December 29-"The army as it
was and as it is to be, is the text under
which Field Marshal Earl Roberts, in the
January Nineteenth Century reads Brit
ons a noteworthy lecture on the duty OF
ali classes If Great Britain would meet
the demands OF modern warfare. After
frankly pointing out existing deficiencies
Earl Roberts writes:
"A terrific lesson awaits the nation
whose soldiers mud themselves opposed
by equally brave but better trained op-
ponents ON the field of battel No amount
OF money, no national sacrifices will then
avail; for modern warfare moves last
and time lost in peace can never be
made up during the stress of a campaign.
l hold this view very strongly and urge
my fellow countrymen with all the force
al my command to look the plain facts
in the face
Earl Roberts does not advocate conf
pulsory service because 1t is distaste-
full to the nation and Incompatible with
the conditions of an army which has
large proportion Of units in foreign
service out maintains that Great Britain
must have a large reserve force and If
the citizens of so great and prosperous
q nation as ours are to remain exempt
from compulsory service in time of peace
without the safety of empire being en-
OaHRefeu, the right class Oh men must ne
attracted to the regular army by good
conditions of pay and pension; and 1t is
the bounden duty Of the state to see
that every able-boded man in this coun-
try, no matter to what grade of society
he may belong. undergoes some kind of
military training in youth. sufficient to
enable him to shoot straight and carry
out simple orders If ever his services
are required for national defence
Earl Roberts interestingly reviews the
changes of the last fifty years, describes
the military system prior to the Crimean
war and points out how the introduction
of modern guns neeessltated the complete
abolishment of the idea that men must be
mere machines Officers he says, are no
longer directly able to control their men
because the formations have been
changed and therefore the men must
have a far higher standard of individual
intelligence, while among the officer in
telligenee, self-reiance and the power of
leading must be on a proportionately
higher level.
THE sooner this is realized to the full
est extent" Earl Roberts says, the bet
ter for all ranks when the hour of trial
comes"

Washington, December 29.-Director
Mo- th of<-the census bureau, admitted
today having received telegram from
the Memphis Cotton exchange stating
that many ginners in that district denied
having made reports as to the amount
of cotton ginned from November IA to

Shelby county, the November returns

instances were noted throughout the dis

available"
In discussing the matter Director North
said that for some unexplained reason
a number OF ginners refused to furnish
information regarding the amount of cot

that following the custom of the bureau
under such circumstances the returns for
the preceding period was brought for

DOUBASOFF WILL
BE ON COMMISSION
Recall of Vice Admiral kaznakoff Is
Followed BY Speculation as
to His Successor.

ST. Petersburg, December 29.-Vice Ad-
miral Doubasoff was given an audience
of the emperor just before his majesty s
departure for the south. This is regard
ed as confirmation of the report that
Doubasoff is to replace Admiral Kama
koff on the North sea commission
Doubasoff Is eminenty fitted to repre-
sent Russia on that commission He is
energetic and speaks the English and
French languages f1uently. 1t is under
stood that Doubasoff would have been
sent to Paris in the first place, but for
the fact that the emperor did not wish
to spare him from the important work
OF the naval technical committee and so
chose Admiral Kaznakoff. 1t was hoped
that his health would bear the strain
OF the duties imposed upon him, though
there was some fear that he might break
down, and for that reason his son. a
young lieutenant was detailed to ac-
company the admiral to Paris.

MODEL YACHT CLUB MEN
USE BOATS IN PRACTICE
Are Deeply Involved in the Question
of the Overall Length of
Their Craft

The San Francisco Model Yacht Club
will formally open the racing season
on the new Spreckels Lake in Golden
Gate Park in a few weeks. In the
meantime the small craft will have
practice races every Sunday. In this
way the owners will become accus-
toned to the new lake and will be bet
ter able to handle the boats.
At a meeting held during the week
the principal topic of discussion was
the overall length of the boats. Last
year the largest models measured sew
enty inches over all, while this year
three have already been built measur-
ing eighty inches. The question raised
is whether the latter are eligible to
race The matter of determining an
official overall limit length was put in
the hands of a committee composed of
Leslie.
At the meeting the championship
pennant for 1903 was awarded to Will
liam Roeckner's scow schooner An
ME. The Annie had the largest win
nings for the year and is therefore en-
titled to the flag of supremacy.
Eleven new models are being built
and with those already built this year
the fleet will greatly outnumber that
of last year. The new boats are all
fast and the one that wins the 1904
pennant will certainly be a crack boat
Next week the official measurer will
commence measuring the boats of the
club and hereafter all official races will
be held under time allowance tables
and rules.
The first race for the Dickey cup will
probably not take place before the
Fourth of July in order to give the
yachtsmen a chance to lear-l the lake.

POLOIST FALLS
ON The FIELD
F. J. CarOlan's Pony Goes
Down Heavily, but Rider
Gamely Makes Light of 1t
HOBART PLAYS WE'LL
Leads His Team to Victory,
Although Opposing Four
Makes Light of Accident

F. ]. Carolan had a narrow escape
from injury in a practice game of polo
on his Crossways Farm field yesterday
afternoon. While riding at a fast gal
lop his pony fell, and in struggling to
regain his feet rolled over and over sew
eral times, and it seemed impossible
that the rider could escape without a
serious hurt. He did. however, and
only sustained few bruises, which he
treated lightly.
The match was won by the reds. di-
rected by Walter S. Hobart, who played
a brilliant game throughout. The score
was to 2 in their favor. The victory
was all the more notable from the fact
that the opposing whites were cap
tanned by Neil Haig, who is a tower
of strength to any. team. There were
several changes of sides, but in the de-
Gliding contest the players were lined up
as follows:
Reds-Paul Clagstone, Captain Chap
lin, Walter McCreery and w. S. Ho-
bart.
Whites-Neil Haig. Peter Martin, r.
NJ. Tobin and c. Raoul-Duval.
F. j. Carolan, F. j. Mackey and
Charles Garland also played earlier in
the game.
There will be two matches on Sunday
afternoon on C. W. Clark's field at San
Mateo, in which all the best players
now here will participate.
