prohibition extends to children under
16 years of age who cannot read and
write. The violation of the law is
made misdemeanor punishable by
fine of $500 and Imprisonment for
one year. The president today sent
a special message urging legislation
giving the executive authority upon
his own initiative and responsibility
to dismiss any officer whom he
thinks unworthy to remain in the
service. The law provides that in
time of peace no officer shall be
dismissed. except in pursuance of
court-martial or in mitigation thereof.
Washington, Dec. 6-The senate
adopted the Penrose resolution re
questing the president to send infor-
nation regarding the discharge OF
the negro troops, and also the Foraker
resolution directing the secretary of
war to transmit all information in the
possession of his department on The
same subject. This action followed
debate of two hours, and was taken
without rcll call or opposing vote.
The debate developed along two dis
tinct lines, one as to the propriety OF
asking the president for the informs-
ton or directing the secretary of war
to furnish it and the other an indul-
gence by a few senators in comment
on the merits of the case. Senator
Spooner took the ground that in a
matter where congress had an abso-
lutte right to information in the pos
session of the executive it had always
been customary to direct the cabinet
officer to furnish it. in matters where
it had not this right, and in which
there was some doubt about the al
visibility Of publicity, congress usu-
ally made the request upon the presi-
dent if it desired the information with
the understanding that it should be
furnished IF not incompatible with
the public interest" This view was
supported also by Senator Foraker.
while Senator Lodge quoted prece-
dents to the contrary. Mr.. Morgan
of Alabama devoted two hours to tie
discussion of his resolution to secure
control OF the Panama railroad BY the
isthmian canal commission. No ac-
ton was taken.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 4.-The
Japanese question, which has given
every indication of being an acute
one, famed forth in congress today.
While the members of the California
delegation in the house were up in
president treated of the subject in
his message Senator Rayner of Mary
land, who last session attacked the
administration upon it's Santo Do
mingo policy, introduced resolution
directing the president to notify all
the world, Japan included, that the
states have exclusive rights over
their own schools. No action was
taken on it. Upon request of MIR.
Foraker, two resolutions calling for
information relative to the dismissal
from the army of three companies of
negro soldiers. went over without
prejudice.
Representative Slayden of Texas
introduced a bill which provides
that: ION or before June 10, 1907,
all enlisted men of the army who are
negroes or of negro descent, shall
be discharged from the service of
the United States and thereafter no
negro or person OF negro descent
shall be enlisted or appointed in the
army of the United States
Washington, d. c., Dec. 5.-The
senate passed without discussion a
resolution calling upon the secretary
of commerce and labor for all letters,
kilograms and official reports bear
ing upon the differences with the
Japanese over the school problem in
San Francisco. The house passed a
bill giving the secretary of the navy
discretion in fixing the amount of
certified checks required in contracts
for naval supplies. Representative
Brick OF Indiana proposed an amend
ment to the constitution relating to
marriage and divorce as follows:
The congress shall have power to
establish uniform laws on the subject
of marriage and divorce throughout
the United States and to provide pen
alties for violations thereof" The
bill perrntting national banking as
sociatioIs to make loans on real
estate as security and limiting the
amount of such loans, passed by a
vote of Ill to 81.
After debate the senate postponed
the consideration Of the resolutions
calling for information relative to the
discharge Of the negro troops. Sena-
tor Lodge introduced bin designed
to prevent the employment Of child
labor by prohibiting interstate com

Gold King. With this property as
the necleus he formed the Gold King
Mining company and in addition to
being principal stakeholder, was
made superintendent of the property.
Just as the struggling young company
was beginning to secure a substantial
character it was beset on all sides by
lawsuits and right in the midst OF
these came the panic of 1898. But
the ability of w. y. Kinney steered
the company and its property safely
through all dangerous places. In
1899 the company built a railroad
from Silverton to Gladstone: later
immense coal fields near Durango
were acquired and opened up and an
other railroad was built by the COM
pany, whose name was then changed
to the Gold King Consolidated Mines
company. Later yet the Gold Prince
mines near Animas Forks were &C
quired by the company and are now
being developed by Mr.. Kinney into
ore of the biggest properties In the
state.
