Hon. Francis G. Newlands, senior U.
g senator of Nevada, arrived in camp
Tuesday for a brief visit. The senator
receutly arrived from the Orient
whittier he accompanied the Taft party
on their trip.
In the evening Senator Newlands
was entertained by the Montezuma
club.
The senator arrived at the club early
and passed an hour in social chat with
HE hosts and other friends who had
gathered to give him welcome. He
appears to be in the best of health and
shirts and is looking forward with
keen anticipation to taking up his
duties in the upper house of congress
this winter.
To a reporter for the News he stated
that he believed the coming session was
to be fraught with much In the way of
favorable legislation for Nevada, and
in speaking of the famous irrigation
law. of which he is the author, sand
that further enactment along that line
seemed probable, and that in its fran
ing he proposed to see that this state
received its just a~pportionment. He
expressed surprise at the commercial
and numerical growth of Goldheld since
his former visit, and is OF the opinion
that the mining sections or southern
Nevada are destined to be the most
productive in gold values of any IN the
world. In that connection ne stated
that the beneficial effects OF the output
of the Goldfeld and Tonopah mines
were manifest in all portions OF the
state and in no instance was the con-
dit;on more marked than in his home
town of Reno. Every section of New
4 was being r~eiuvenated under the
influence of Goldfeld's majic spell, and
Carson CITY had grown young again by
partaking of the gold cure for the age
habit. The senator left the camp We'd
nesday and departs in a few days for
washington. ID. c., to meet in confer
ence with the other members of the in
ter-state committee on No
vember %, on a matter pertaining to
railroad rates, etc.
In speaking on Philippine affairs and
those of the Orient in general, Senator
Newlands touched lightly on the poll
teal and economic questions involved,
but confined his remarks chiefly to the
pleasures and courtesies received On
the trip. He referred to Miss Alice
Roosevelt, the president s daughter, IN
pleasant terms, stating that she was
the life of the party throughout the
Journey. At Pekin the party was re-
ceived by the dowager empress, both
formally and informally. In the latter
instance the senators alone received the
distinction of her consideration to the
exclusion Of the members of the house
of representatives, a matter which
later was the occasion of much chaff-
ing among the statesmen. The ladies
were particularly honored by the en-
press, and upon greeting them in
ring or bracelet as a memento of their
visit.
He describes the empress as a per-
son of rather severe cast of counte-
nance, with cruel lines about the mouth
and eyes; but otherwise her face is free
from wrinkles, despite her rs years.
The emperor appears to be rather
stupid, but many of the mandarins
are inclined to believe that he is sham
ming, as a quickened intelligence might
result in his d~ecapitation.
In closing the senator spoke of the
pleasure it afforded him to be the guest
OF the club and complimented the mem
bers on its comfortable appointments.
In reply, Judge Bartine extended the
Fluctuations of the members to Sena-
tor Newlands and expressed the wish
that they might again enjoy his society
on his return from Washington.
