GEN. DAVIS RETURNS
DISCUSSES SANITARY coNDI.
TONS ON THE IsTHMUS.

Gen. George w. Davis, q. 8. A., retired.
who has just been relieved from duty as
governor Of the Panama canal zone, was
at the War Department today, and had an
interview with Secretary Taft regarding his
administration of affairs on the isthmus.
General Davis return to this country was
fastened by the Secretary Of War on ac-
count of reports that he was suffering from
malarial fever. which 1t was feared would
developed into something more serious.
Practically Recovered.
In the course of a conversation with news
paper men today Gen. Davis said he had
been much benefited by the ocean voyage
home and had practically recovered from
the fever which attacked him on the 18TH
mus He is living with friends at Pelham
Manor, Westchester, Long Island and ex-
poets to be fully restored to health in a
snort time. He is not at all discouraged
over climatic conditions on the isthmus.
and while there have been several cases OF
yellow fever during the past few weeks. he
thought that the zone would be entirely
free from the disease in a few months. The
new water system will be in operation
early in June, and will do much toward
removing existing dangers from yellow
fever.
Effect Of the Eight-Hour Law.
Gen. Davis said It would be extremely
unfortunate IL the eight hour law was made
to apply to the work on the canal The
effect of such a decision would be not only
to greatly increase the cost of building the
canal but would be only to the advantage
of foreign 1aborers mainly subjects of Great
Britain. He said that most of the labor
on the canal is being done by British sub
jects from Jamaica and Barbados, who
probably never heard of the eight-ho law,
have no idea of its alleged benefits, and who
would undoubtedly prefer to continue to
work under the customary system of ten or
more hours. especially If their wages were
reduced with the shorter days labor.
No citizen Of the United States would be
benefited. because none of them is working
with pick and shovel on the canal. Gen.
Davis has very poor opinion of the labor
ers from Jamaica and Barbados, on account
OF their lazy and shiftless hab bits, and he
said II he had his way he would employ
suff1cient number of Cantonese coolies, who
he thought are better adapted for the rapid
prosecution of the work than any other
class of laborers.

London, March IA dispatch from

the Japanese are endeavoring to force
decisive battle in Manchuria but
that it is feared that General Kuro-

Reports from the Shakhc river in
dictate, says the same correspondent,
that the Russian morale is seriously
impaired and that there are numerous
voluntary surrenders, not only of Poles
and Jews, but of recently arrived Euro
pean troops
They relate that rumors are current
in the army that General Kuropatkin
has been recalled, and the knowledge
of internal troubles in Russia causes
deep depression in the army. Reports
are current at Toxic, but are not con-
firmed officially, that the Japanese
have occupied Sakhalien.

TRIED TO GIVE
PEABODY OFFICE
BUT MINORITY REPUBLICANS
COULD NOT DO 1T.
ADAMS HAS A MAJORITY
Democratic Candidate for Governor Of
Colorado Received Enough Votes to
Allow Him to Grant every Cues
ton of Doubt in Favor of Opponent
and Still Be Elected.

Denver, March 3.--The report of the
minority republican members of the
gubernatorial contest committee rec
ommends that the contest filed by Gov
emory Peabody be dismissed, as he did
not receive a plurality OF legal votes
for governor. Chairman Griffith and
the three other representatives who
signed the report find that there was
much fraud perpetrated by the demo
cratic party in d. yer, but that it was
confined to As precincts. They recon,
mend that the vote of these precincts
be excluded from the total. The fol,
lowing are set forth as facts:
That the confession asks that the
returns of 104 precincts in the city
and county Of Denver be rejected.
That the only legal evidence or
fraud introduced by the contesLor to
sustain the rejection of the returns
from 55 Of said precincts was that Of
experts on handwriting in regard to
the t-ctics of fraudulent voters.
That so far as these So precincts
are concerned the evidence Of contes
tee most successfully discredited and
controyerted the handwriting experts
and the re-check evidence of the con
testor.
THAT to reject the returns from the
SAID Sc precincts is to disfranchise
$4,000 honest voters without any just
or legal reason.
THAT if the said Sc precincts are
not rejected the case of the confession
fails, even though all his claims of
fraud in the outside counties are sus
tanned, by plurality for the contestee
of 1872"
The report says the evidence con,
corning outside counties was conflict
ing and that Adam plurality is 3,S19,
after having decided every question
Of doubt in favor of the confession"
That this conclusion was reluctantly
reached is evidenced by the following
paragraph in the report:
Before closing this report the I'M
dersigned desire to say that it has not
been an easy or pleasant task for them
to file this report and thus differ with
their republican colleagues on the
Joint contest comrcittee Their desire
and inclination was 10 be able to de
eide in favor of the confession and join
with their said colleagues in findings
and recommendations to that effect.
They have taken this step only after
the most mature and deliberate con
sideration of the evidence in the case"
