WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Surprise III
up the faces of the senators when Pen
rose injected into the formal opening
ceremony Of that body today a reso-
luton of inquiry addressed to the
president regarding the discharge OF
three negro companies Of the Twenty
fifth infantry.
When MIR. Penrose said he had a
resolution for which he should like i'm
mediate consideration, Mr.. Fairbanks
arose and after hesitating a second,
remarked:
''The usual rule is not to consider
resolutions or miscellaneous matter un-
til after the message Of the president
is read"
"Then," rejoined Mr.. Penrose, "I
shall ask unanimous consent TO have
the resolution read"
This was granted. 1t follows:
Resolved, That the president is re-
quested to communicate to the senate,
If not Incompatible with the public
interests, full information bearing
upon the recent order dismissing from
the military service of the United
States three companies of the Twenty
fifth infantry, United States troops,
colored."
Mr.. Foraker of Ohio was upon his
feet at once, saying:
II have a substitute to that resolu-
ton and l ask that it be read and that
both lie over'
Mr.. Spooner secured the rereading
of the first resolution, and Mr.. Warren
of Wyoming asked that both go over.
The Foraker resolution was read at
his request. 1t was addressed to the
secretary of war, requesting that off,
Ger to furnish the senate copies of all
official letters kilograms or orders filed
with the war department in connec-
ton with the recent discharge of troops
in question, together with a complete
list of the men discharged, showing
the record of each.
Senator Foraker explained the pur-
poses of his resolution in an interview
as follows:
THE resolution speaks for itself.

/ have no purpose of raising the race
question. The question involved is
broader. 1t would be unfortunate to
have it narrowed down by drawing the
color line. 1t concerns white as well as
colored soldiers.
"It is a question of constitutional
power on the one hand and constitu-
tional and statutory rights on the other.
Until we have a complete record 1 do
not know just what questions will arise,
but we may have to consider whether a
man cdl pe CoIiNlcleu oI Ielony ny
order and whether following such a
conviction sentence may be imposed
and punishment inflicted by order.
Discharges without honor may be
granted where they are not based n
an offense against the law of the land,
the commission of which is denied and
where no punishment follows. But
where there is conviction, sentence and
punishment, 1 have always supposed
there would have to be also trial.
either in a civil court or in a court
martial, or before some other tribunal
thereunto duly appointed by law. But
it is idle to discuss any of these ques-
tions until we know whether they are
raised by the record"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The su-

missed today for want of jurisdiction
the case of the New York Founding
hospital VS.. John Gatti.
This decision revived the story Of

the time received much attention at
the hands of the public.
The effect of the opinion, which was

Twenty-fifth infantry recently dis
charged without honor by order of
President Roosevelt, and to this end

affairs not generally known ard that
once before at least the Twenty-fifth
infantry "shot up town. The affair
happened in 1885 at Fort Sturgis, Da-
kota. Some of the negro soldiers went
on rampage similar to that at
Brownsville and one of their number
killed citizen. In that case, however,
the citizens took the men into their
own hands, forced the troopers under
pain of death to disclose the name Of
the man who did the killing and then
took him out and lynched him.

The Three Species Of Moose.

There are supposed to be three spe-
cies of Moose: The European moose
or elk, found in northern Europe and
adjoining part of Asia; the common
moose of eastern America, distin-
guished chiefly from its European
congener by the skull being narrowed
across the maxillaries, also by it's
greater size and darker color, and the
Alaskan moose, separated by it's giant
stature, it's narrow occiput, broad pal
ate and heavy mandibles.
Expressed in external features as
illustrated in the adult made always
best for differentiating species):
The Scandinavian elk is small
gray animal with little palm and
many spikes on it's antlers.
The C anadian is large black ami
NAL with much PLANTATION and always
a separate brow bunch of spikes. l
have seen hundreds of Canadian
moose antlers, but never pair that
did not show a well-developed sepa-
rate group of prongs in front of each
brow. l have sees score or more OF
Swedish elk, but never saw one that
did have separated brow group of
prongs, though confess I have seen
figures of such.
The Alaskan is a richly colored
black, gray and brown gian' not only
the largest deer alive today, but be.
lieved to be the largest that ever
did exist, since no fossil has been
found to equal it in bulk. It's ant
lers diff sr chiefly in size from those
of the Canadian moose, but MIR. Mad
ison Grant claims that they are also
more complex and have in the brow
antlers second plantation which is
set at right angles to that of the main
PLANTATION. In these pecula,ities, he
finds, startling resemblance is
shown to the extinct Cervalces, a
moose FiIxa dear OF Pleistocene IT, Is,
probahig anceo4rtl to the .enus III
ces.
''If this resemblance ind; Gates any
close relationship, we have in the
Alaskan moose a survivor of the ar
chaic type from which the true moose
and Scandinavian elk have somewhat
degenerated. "-Ernest Thompson Sc
ton, in Scribner's.

Balls and Eats in California.

Californians buy more baseballs and
bats with which to play the national
game than the people Of any other
gtate in the Union in proportion to
population.
Close to $4,000 balls and 10000 bats
are annually required to supply the
demand created by the strong hold
which the great American game has
secured in this state. Climatic con-
ditions in California impose no limi-
tations on the playing season, and
therefore the game is in evidence
here during every month of the year,
(which, of course, furnishes one of
the explanations why a greater num-
Der of balls and bats are required
than in other less favored localities
Of course the professional leagues
use up great many balls in the
course OF a season, but they are by
no means as important factor in
the tsade as are the numerous am
ateur teams organized among the
business houses of a large city like
San Fl ancisco These amateur teams
cut a very much greater figure than
would be imagined by the casual
observer
It is worthy Of note that at the
present time there are six baseball
teams in San Francisco made up of
Japanese, all Of whom are we'll equip
ped with uniforms and the other ap-
purtenances necessary to the playing
Of the great American game in the
most up-to-date style. The Orientals
declare that they like the game very
much indeed, and they readily be-
come proficient players. Baseball is
making big hit in Japan, and the
sport may become as popular in the
realm Of the Mikado as it is in Amer

made the following formal statement
to The Herald last night:
''The Democratic party Is to be con-
graduated upon its tremendous gains
in Los Angeles county. Exaggerated
claims that this county would give.
Republican majority of $4,000 to 10000

to a paltry few thousand.
Theodore A. Bell. our young leader,
has made lasting impression upon
us. His great fight will become his
toric and memorable. Democrats new
er acknowledge defeat. They possess
the spirit of perseverance and cherish
the vlrdtiies wffich made the martyrs
saints We have hopes not only for
the hereafter and here on earth where
we have a right to be and right to
rule. Our day of triumph shall come
as our forefathers had it.
1--WE Democrats know no bitterness
nor resentment Even breaks would
cause us joy, and IL ever we win we
shall let the world know it. We had
bought lots of COW bells and red fire
to make noise. only to put off the oc-
casion to use them.
"a curse from a traitor in our ranks
proved true. A Southern Pacific attor-
