FUNSTON TO COMMAND.
Martial Law Expected at Goldfield
When He Arrives.

Goldfeld, New, Dec. IL, 1t was re-
ported here last night that General
Funston is to come to Goldfeld person
ally to take charge Of the situation here.
More troops, it was also said, may be
sent. Governor John Sparks arrived
yesterday afternoon from Carson and
had conference with Colonel Alfred
Reynolds, in command Of the Federal
troops here. Meetings of the executive
committee of the Goldfield Miners
union and Of the Goldfeld Mineowners'
association were held last night.
1t is believed here that President
Roosevelt is responsible fer the decision
of General Funston to come to Gold
field; that the intention is to take the
conduct of affairs out Of the hands OF
Governor Sparks and the Esmeralda
county officials and that martial law
will be declared in Goldfeld immedi-
ately upon the arrival of General Fun
ston.
Doubtless the request for this drastic
action by the president came from the
mine operators here, who are fearful Of
the consequences when the attempt tc
reopen the mines is made, but appar
emily are determined to, carry out theil
intention to resume operations tomor
row.

FOREIGNERS MUST GO.
Eighty Thousand Will Be Replaced by
Americans Near, Pittsburg.

Pittsburg, Dec. 10.-Independent
of the Pittsburg and
Connellsville district have decided to
decrease the price of producing coke
by increasing the price of their
workmen. The day of the foreigner
has passed, and hereafter none but
American born or naturalized citi-
zens of the United States will be en-
ployed about the 20,767 ovens of the
Independent operators. To these
Americans will be paid higher wages
than was paid to the foreigners, but
the operators expect to decrease the
cost of production.
There are 29 of these independ-
ents who own 20,767 ovens, the H.
G. Frick Coke Company, the fuel end
of the steel corporation, owning and
operating $4,000 ovens.
In the 40,667 ovens in the dis
trict, owned by both independents
and the steel corporation, there are
employed more than $4,000 men, the
majority of whom are at the present
time foreigners. These men are paid
an average of $85 per month. The
statisticians find that of the S85 a
month which the foreigner makes,
he puts back into circulation but 500
a month, living in absolute squalor
during his stay in this country
While the remaining $65 per month
is saved,

port of the public health and marine
hospital service will contain the state
ment by Passed Assistant Surgeon Gen.
eral Hobby that bubonic plague infec-
tion sis still generally distributed in
San Francisco but the percentage is
very much lower than was at first re-
ported"
Investigation along the waterfront"
he says, "shows that there is consid-
erable diminution of rats present and a
still more marked decrease in sick or
dead rats seen. OF the dead rats found
many were proved to have died from
the results of the rat crusade now being
waged. Late observations indicate
that the number of rats found on board
vessels in the harbor Of San Francisco
is being steadily reduced"

Blue, in charge Of the plague exter-
mination campaign in San Francisco,
will report that up to December the
number of cases reached 112; total
deaths, 81; death rate, 59.S per cent.

NEW YORK PAPERS OPINIONS.
What Was Expected, But Third Term
ers Can't Be Silenced.

New York, Dec. 12.-Regarding Pres
ident Roosevelt's announcement that
he adheres to his determination not
again to be a candidate, the New York
papers this morning say:
Herald-Those who from the first
have had full faith in the sincerity of
MI Roosevelt's declaration that he
would not accept a nomination will
now cay, "Why, of course" On the
other hand, those who have argued
that he could not decline if the conven-
tion should overwhelmingly demand
him as candidate will remark, "We
shall see." And there you are.
Times-Mr. Roosevelt's statement is
what those who respected him most and
knew him best expected him to make.
No different statement was possible.
World-So far as words 60, President
Roosevelt could not take more posi-
tive stand. At this late day can he
stop it? Can he turn back the tide?
Suppose the Roosevelt shouters, as
Governor Hoch, Of Kansas, has threat
ened,' ride over the convention like a
herd of Texas steers, will he still de-
cline? Will he be able to decline?

Seattle, Dec. According to adj
vices received by the steamship EN-
press Of Japan, the naval program Of
the japanese admiralty will entirely
eliminate cruisers, coast defense ships,
dispatch boats and gunboats. which in
view OF the past experience are consid-
cred useless. A prominent Japanese
naval official says that future building
will be confined to battleships, armored
cruisers, destroyers and torpedo boats.
The new battleships will be Of 10000

greatly inferior in armament.

RECOVERING BODIES.
Band ofNRescuers at Monongah Are
Making Slow Progress.

Monongah, W. Va, Dec. 10.-When
darkness came last night total of SO
bodies had been brought from the two
wrecked mines at Monongah. Rescue
work, while slow, was progressing
smoothly and as rapidlyas due precau-
tion for the rescuers would permit.
1t is believed that close on to 100 Of
the dead will have been recovered by
daylight today. The fire which caused
suspension Of rescue work Sunday and
early Monday in mine No. 8, was ex-
tinguished, it is said, at noon yester-
day.
The fourth day was repitition Of it's
three predecessors in the matter Of pa
thetic scenes; hundreds OF women re-
mained near the mines all day, scream
ing and crying until they almost col
lapsed. AS on former days, hot coffee
was served at intervals by the company
to keep the unfortunate women from
falling to the ground in exhaustion.

LOOKING BEYOND BALLOON.
American Army to Experiment With
Aeroplanes.

Washington, Dec. 10.--1he army Ia
already looking beyond the simple bal
loon, the dirigible balloon and like
contrivalices for navigating the air, to
the more scientific aeroplane, and it
was announced today that the chief sig
nal officer will soon call upon American
inventors to submit plans for practi-
cal machine, heavier than air, to be
used instead Of balloon for military
purposes. The terms of the advance
ments are now under cons deration.
The beginning of experimentation in
the use of aeroplanes, 1T is said, will
not interfere with the War department
plans now in execution for the training
of selected men in the use of balloons
nor with the projected construction Of
at least two dirigible airships.

"Wednesday, December II.

Washington, Dec. 11.-Passionate
oratory marked the proceedings OF the
senate today Senator Jefferson Davis,
of Arkansas, who when elected declared
that he would attack the trusts imme-
diately after taking his seat, fulfilled
his promise, although he was few
days late in doing 80. The speech was
filled with sensational declarations and
was given with that vigor for which the
Arkansas senator is famous in his own
state. Quaint phrasing, pointed de-
nunciations and evidences of intense
emotion characterized his remarks. He
was given careful hearing by senators
and the galleries were well filled
throughout the time he held the floor.
Beginning shortly before l o'clock, he
spoke for little more than an hour.
At the close of the speech the senate
went into executive session and at 1910
adjourned.
The house was not in session today.
After declaring that his bill, rigorous
ly enforced, would kill the trusts, with
dramatic effect Mr.. Davis challenged
any senator tostep forward and contest
the issue with him.
Speaking Of the great expense of the
government, Mr.. Davis said:
"Our president, and 1 speak of him
in the most respectful terms, besides
his salary of $50, 900 year, and / cay
that is not excessive, is paid by this
congress SIS, 900 year for travelling
expenses, and approximately $4,000
annually for living expenses. All, Mr..
President This is enormous! This is
unreasonable! The president Of the
United States has five children, l be-
lieve. believe they should live in &C.
cordance with the dignity of the presi-
dents position-the highest place on
earth-but. Mr.. President, have
Roosevelt skinned city block in the
matter Of family, and it does not take
$113, 900 for my living expenses. No
sir! The greatest president that evel
lived on this earth, that was ever in
augurated in this capitol, in my judg
ment, was old Hickory Jackson, who
rode his horse to the White house
dressed in suit Of blue jeans.''
The senator denounced stock gam
tbling, and said he would do away witt
gambling in cotton, grain and the ne
cessities of life.

two laegards. These were the 100000
ton Minnesota, flagship of Rear Admir-
al @. M. Thomas, commander of the
second squadron of the feet, and the
Kentucky, whose paltry l,150 tons
relegated her to a position at the end of
