CAPTAIN o. II. MoFFAr.
Bill to Give Due Rank and Honors to
Denver Banker.

Washington. Feb. 19.--The Senate
yesterday passer Mr.. Teller's bill for
the relief of David H. Moffat. The
language Of the bill is that David H.
Moffat shall be held and considered to
have been mustered into the service OF
the United States as captain OF the
Third regiment, Colorado caya,.y vol
unteers, August 20, 1864, and that the
secretary of war be authorized and d.
rected to issue to him n certificate OF
discharge as captain Of said regiment,
to date from September II, 1864:
provided, that no pay, bounty, PEN
sion. or other emoluments shall accrue
or become due or payable to any per-
son by virtue Of the passage OF this
act"
The report on the bill, which was
submitted by Senator Cockrell from
the committee on military affairs, con
tains an affidavit of Moffat. who says
that he was appointed adjutant general
of Colorado Territory in 1862. and com
missioned as captain and major of the
Third Colorado cavalry In 1864. Also
that as captain and major he assisted
Governor John Evans to recruit and
organize the Third Colorado cavalry
and at the request of Governor Evans
he remained in Denver to aid in for.
warding troops and supplies to various
places where needed, and conse-
1uently, through no fault of his own,
was not mustered into service with the
regiment. That at several times he
expressed his willingness to join his
regiment. but was ordered and re.
quested by Governor Evans to remain
on duty at Denver. That when he was
relieved from recruiting services h
wished to then Join his regiment, but
was kept from doing so by the gov.
ernor, who desired his services as ad
jutant general, in which office he con.
tinued until May, 1865. He further
says that he does not desire TO be mus
tered under his commissions for any
pay or emoluments, nor will he ask or
receive the same. but he prays that he
be mustered TO the ranks of captain
and major, believing that his services
rendered to the government merit such
reward.
The report also contains afiidavits
sustaining the statements set forth In
Moffat's affidavit, made by Senator Tel.
Ter and Irving W. Stanton OF Pueblo.
An effort viii be made by the Colo.

report Of Maj Charles Is. Woodruff.
on the drink question In the Philip
pines. Major Woodruff. who Is an
army surgeon. has been studying the
effects on Americans residing In the
Islands Of the use of liquor, and his
observations go quite to upset our
customary Views on the subject.
Alcohol, II is commonly believed. Is
the white mans bane In tho tropics.
and half the Ills OF cur soldiers In the
Philippines have been laid 10 drink
But Major Woodruff's statistics OF the
health and habits of the men OF two
OF our regiments long stationed In the
Islands point to n different and amaz.
Ing conclusion. or the excessive drink.
ers In these regiments. sixty.eight per
cent. retained their health; Of the
moderate drinkers. sixty.six por cent.
and Of the total abstalners. only forty.
six per cent OF the topors, one and
one-half per cent. died: OF the modcr.
ate drinkers, four per cont: OF the
tee,otalers, nine per cent.
Major Woodrut's induction, there.

thing to be avoided In the Philippines.

may be, at the present writing it
seems to be In the air that a majority
of the assemblymen will be in favor
Of seating Mr.. Peabody.
The weakness of Mr.. Adams defense
has been apparent to every one who
has followed the testimony. His fail
registration frauds, the voting OF the
padded lists. the hiring of repeaters,
and their payment by Denver police
men. and others, at Democratic head
quarters, the failure to answer the
charge of crossing Republican ballots
fraudulently for Adams. the. fact that
but ninety-eight witnesses Identified
their ballots as genuine although
over 5000 were reported in the writing
OF few people. the silence as to the
hundreds upon hundreds of names
which Chairman Williams published
every day for over two weeks
of fictitious persons voted all
showed that so far as evidence was
concerned the Adams side was in a
very bad way.
The failure to make any defense on
so many of these vital points was fol-
lowed by desperate attempts on the
part of the Democratic press to create
a false public sympathy and spread
the impression that public sentiment
was with the Adams side. This is far
from the truth. Everything that can
be construed as an Indication OF pub
lie sentiment shows just the reverse.
The Mob.
The fact that an organized effort to
intimidate the Assembly in Mr. Adams
behalf was fostered. encouraged and
put in motion by Senator Patterson's
interests. seconded by his new ally,
Mr.. Stevens OF the Pueblo Chieftain,
is taken as ample proof of the weak
ness and hopelessness OF the Adams
case.
The preposterous idea that deci.
sion favorable TO Mr.. Adams could be
secured by the threatening attitude OF
mob Of Democratic enthusiasts at
the state capitol could only find lodg.
ment In the minds OF very erratic and
irresponsible people.
In the first place the Legislature
cannot be scared into doing anything
by fear OF personal violence. next. the
people OF Colorado do not decide ques-
tions OF this character by mob influ-
ence: and, last, every rational person
in Colorado knows that 1t is the habit
of every small gathering OF radical So
cialists, anarchists or militant parti.
sans to announce that they ARE the
people" They pass resolutions in the
name OF the people" the Democratic
press pick up such mouthings and an

pie are stirred to revolution and will

The Democratic organization OF
workingmen that passed the resolu'
ton to march on the capitol for the
purpose OF preventing the seating OF
Mr.. Peabody represent nobody but
J themselves. those present. They do
not represent the Democrats OF the
state. much less the entire people. Yet

sentiment.

GRACE SPRECktLS To
WE'D ALEX HAMILTON

A stir of pleasurable interest CEN
tiers about the latest betrothal an
nouncement, that which links the
names of Miss Grace Spreckels, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. John D. Spreckels,
and Alexander Hamilton, son of the
late Colonel Robert Hamilton. This
interesting bit of news has come as a
surprise to the majority of the friends
of both welI-known families.
Since her debut a few seasons ago
Miss Spreckels has been the recipient
of a generous share of attention Her
friends are everywhere, among the
young and the old, and the greatest
compliment that they can pay her is
to tell of her absolutely unaffected
manners and her frank, genuine cor
diality.
Miss Spreckels is a handsome type of
womanhood. She is tall and graceful
has quantities of fair brown hair and
large blue eyes. Her only sister, Miss
Lily Spreckels, became the wife of
Harry Holbrook few months ago at
an elaborate home wedding. The com
ing marriage will also take place at
the Spreckels residence, it is said, its
date sometime during the winter
months.
Mr.. Hamilton is partner in the firm
of Baker & Hamilton. He has for
some years been prominent in bust
ness and social circles.-Call.
