ISSUE DRAWN WITH
THE PRESIDENT
Brownsville Matter Brings
Roosevelt and Enemies in
the Senate Face to Face
OUTCOME is DOUBTFUL
spncIAL nIspArcH mo- LEE cALL

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
WASHINGTON. Jan. President
Roosevelt and the anti-Roosevelt Re
publieans in the Senate have been
brought face to face by the Blackburn
resolution on the Brownsville incident.
For the first time in his career the
President confronts real reputation by
his party and the antiadmlnistration
Senators who have heretofore been con-
tent to worry the President must now
meet the issue and either repudiate his
action in discharging the negro troops,
admit that he was right or drop the
fight which has been going on for six
weeks without coming to any conclu-
sion.
In many respects the lineup resem-
bles the old railroad rate fight. SEN
ators Crane and Lodge of Massachu-
setts are admitted to hold the key to
the situation today. Senator Lodge
who up to this time has acted as
spokesman for the President, has de-
clined to indicate his position on the
resolution. Nineteen Republican Sena
tors have told him that they will fol-
low his lead If he will say what the
President wants This number of Re-
publicans, together with the Democrats,
can pass the Blackburn resolution, and
this may result in prolonSlng the de-
bate on the Brownsville issue until a
new way can be discovered by the anti
Roosevelt Senators to wriggle out of
the crisis.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Senator
Lodge talked with the President today
about the Blackburn amendment to the
Foraker resolution, which declares in
effect that the Presidents legal right to
dismiss the negro troops at Brownsville
should not be questioned.
The Senator was asked as he was
leaving the White House what had
been decided upon as to the adminis-
tration's attitude toward the amend
ment, to which he replied: I'VE will
be wiser on Monday"
Senator Lodge said that the Foraker
resolution appeared to be satisfactory
to all concerned.
What are you going to do about the
Blackburn amendment he was asked.
We'll, you can't get off the track, y
he replied.
Senators who saw the President to-
day with regard to the Blackburn
amendment unite in expressing the
opinion that he would be satisfied to
have it voted down in case there should
be solid Republican vote to that end.
The Republican leaders confess their
complete inability to say whether they
can secure such unanimity and as a
consequence no one will attempt now to
forecast the outcome of the question.

Miss Sage reached downward to the

OPTION FOR HALF MILLION.
A. p. Smith Gets That Amount for
Gold Bank Property.

The preliminaries of what will be,
il carried through, one of the largest
mining deals ever made in the State
of Nevada, have been concluded at
Goldbanks. the new and booming
camp, forty miles south of Winnie
mucca
For the sum of $500, 000-not five
or fifty thousand, but half a million
dollars-A. P. Smith, the discoverer
of Goldbanks, has given an option on
the big property of the camp to j. H.
Kinkead of Virginia City and F. p
Smith of California, who represents
an aggregation of Golden State capt.
talists.
The option is for the sale of
Smiths main group of claims, the
great Mohawk, Goldbanks, Valley
View, Little Bonanza, Mountain View
and City View. Under the terms of
the option, which runs for a short
time only, the rights of the leasers
on the claims mentioned are not af-
fected. Fourteen of these leases.
running for two years, have been let
by MI Smith and several of the leas-
ers have already commenced work.
They are to pay a straight royalty
of 25 per cent on all ore which may
be shipped. to the smelters.
The option was taken by Messrs.
kinkead and Smith after having
made thorough sampling of the two
great parallel lodges which traverse
the Mohawk and Goldbanks claims.
If the result of this sampling tallies
with the reports which have been
given out of the high and consistent
values obtained from previous samp-
lings of the great lodges, there is
hardly a question that the right to
purchase will be exercised. The price,
large as it seems when expressed in
| figures, would not be excessive for q
property with the wonderful showing
that has been claimed for this Cold
