COMMANDERS DISAPPOINTED.
President Roosevelt Will Not Person
 ally Inspect Each Vessel.

Norfolk, Va., December 14.-There is some disappointment in the fleet that President Roosevelt will not visit any of the vessels Monday. He would find the navy at It's very best, but the deck of a battleship is familiar ground to the chief executive, and he has every confi- dence in the report of the various officials expressed in the word ready"
 The fleet Is divided into two squadrons, and each squadron into two divisions. Tho first and second divisions are in the first squadron and the third and fourth di- visions in the second squadron. Rear 4 l. miral Evans, who next to Admiral Dewey Is the senior officer of the navy, is com mander-in-chief of the fleet, and also is nominally In command of the first squad ron and the first division. The four ships of this division are the Connecticut flag ship, Kansas Vermont and Louisiana They are all of one design, displaying 16,- 900 tons apiece and presenting the heaviest type of fighting craft known to the west ern hemisphere.
 The second division of the first squad ron, like all the other divisions of the fleet, consists of four vessels. The com mander of the division, Rear Admiral William H. Emory, flies his flag from the Georgia. The New Jersey, the Rhode Island and the Virginia are his other ships, and like the first division they are all of one class Their displacement is something like 1000. tons less, but their engines rate superior by 5000 horse power and their speed is one knot higher.
 The second squadron Is under command of Rear Admiral c. M. Thomas, whose authority in the fleet is second only to that of the commander-in-chief. Admiral Thomas has command of the third di- vision, made up of the Minnesota (fag- ship, the Ohio, Missouri and Maine. The latter three are his ships but the Min nesota belongs to the more modern and heavier Connecticut class.
 The fourth and last division has Rear Admiral Charles s. Sperry In command, and is composed of the Alabama flag ship, the Illinois, the Kearsarge and the Kentucky.
 This afternoon the football team from the Kansas won the championship of the fleet by defeating the Vermont eleven by a score of to 2. The game fas played on rain-soaked turf with miniature lakes scattered here and there on the gridiron. Commissioned officers veterans of Annap- oils teams. played with the enlisted men on both elevens. Other officers led the cheering of the bluejackets and marines of the opposing sides. and altogether there was a spirit of good feeling among of flcers and men.

FUNSTON'S EYES
 OPENED BY REPORTS
Revelations of Conditions Made
 At GoIdfeld
COMMISSIONERS COMING
Everybody Eagerly Awaits the Arrival of the Men From Washington. Non-Union Men Are to Be
 Brought In.

Goldhed, New, December 14.-Delega- tions from the Woman's club of Goldfeld and from the Chamber of Commerce and Merchants exchange called on General Funston this afternoon to further &C., quaint him with the conditions which pre- vailed in Goldfeld previous to the coming of federal troops, and the situation which led to the sending of Governor Sparks dispatch to Washington asking that troops be sent here.
 The visit of these delegates doubtless was because of the efforts that are con- stantly being made to have the troops recalled.
 General Funston said after the confer ences were over that the statements made to him were a revelation, especially thos made by the women, who are wives of prominnt citizens of Goldfeld. The statements, he said, showed that for days the women had lived in a state of con- stant terror until the coming of the troops, though no instances of anything more than trivial. annoyances were cited.
 The United States labor commissioners are due here tomorrow mad already bet ltI lScilil6 ID DeBlliHiiib tO PiSN"ii' DOsA the mine operators and the labor leaders say tonight they will welcome the com- missioners. Representatives of the Gold field Mine Owners association said that arrangements have been made to bring number of miners from California, Utah. Montana. Arizona and Wyoming, and that about 450 will arrive soon. No infor- nation as to when they will arrive can be obtained, however, and the union men characterize the statement as false.

An Actors Friendly Tribute.
Harriet Quimby in Leslie's Weekly.

Harriet Quimby In Leslie's Weekly.
 A pretty story attesting to the popu- larity of James ONeil with his audi ences comes not from the actor. but from an old schoolmate and friend. MT. when l was running hotel in Man chester" said MT. Moore, it was dur ing the holidays, and I had driven to Concord to get some decorations and presents While there I head that my old friend Jimmy was opening there that night in Monte Cristo.' l look ed him up to give him welcome, and dur ing our chat he asked me to stay down for the performance. No I replied but I will drive back and get Mrs. Moore, and if it is possible to get back here in time l will do it. As 1t hap pened, that night was snowy and windy one and we were late in start ing and slow in making the distance, and after reaching the city and putting up the horses we found that we had just missed the first act. The house was still applauding and there were calls of Speech! Speechr As we were going down the aisle Mir. O'Neil spied us taking our seats. After a few words which put the house in good humor, he said, I have just noticed two of my oldest friends, one a schoolmate, who have driven out on this stormy night eighteen miles to see me play Monte Cristo.' Neither of them has ever seen the play. Now as you have proved that you liked the first act, suppose We do 1t all over again., With cries of First actp the curtain fell, and in a moment rose on the first act for the second time that evening. When he had fin ished O'Neil had to make another speech."-

FAIRBANKS MAY
 GET NOMINATION
VICE PRESIDENT IS CONSIDERED THE CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT IN THE EAST, ACCORDING TO MIR. TAGeART.

Indianapolis, December 14-Thomas Taggert, chairman of the democratic national committee, who arrived in h. dianapolis from New York tonight, de- claired the belief that Charles W. Fair banks would be the choice of the Chi cago convention for presidential nomi- nee on the republican ticket.
 'I learned enough of the sentiment in the east" said MT. Taggart, "to cause me to make this assertion. The fact that President Roosevelt has declared himself out of the race, coupled with the fact that the republicans will not allow themselves to be influenced in favor of Taft just because he is Roose- velt's favorite, convinces me that MT. Fairbanks will have the best show of any man before the convention.
 T told them that the democrats would bring forward man who would defeat anyone the republicans nomi- mated"

If Monkeys Had Lunch Counters.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 Some of the four-footed folks have five hands; that is to say, they use their tall for hand. The opossums both in America and Australia have developed graspng power in their tail, and also the monkeys and the tree ant caters and tree porcupines of Amereica. In all these the extremity of the tail has a portion of it's lower or upper surface naked and marked by transverse ridges and grooves. These, when applied to a bough by curling the tail tip around it, give great grasping power. The fact that either the upper or the lower sur face of the tip may be naked implies in- dependent origin of the grasping power in different groups.
 The Australian rat kangaroos have gone further than climbing with their tails and employ them for carrying grass and other herbage for building their nests. The trunk of the elephant when contrasetd with the tail of the kanga- roo rat affords an example of fertility of resource In animal development. In this case the specialization has proced- ed further than in the rat kangaroo so that the trunk Is capable of serving many purposes of a hand. One of the most remarkable points connected with this organ Is that it has been developed in the group of animals which have aban- doned the use of their fore legs as hands and become specialized for loco motion along the ground.

True To It's Kind.

From Judge.
 Mrs. Maitron wandered through the mazes of the fascinating toyshop and finally stopped at the counter which held a diversified assortment of me- chanical playthings.
 T wish to see a toy for boy of years" she said to the salesman.
 Something on this order?" ventured the salesman. displaying a shaggy bear which danced about in fits and starts.
 "Oh, no," exclaimed Mrs. Maitron. T must have something more modern"
 How about this toy automobile? It's a remarkable little plaything."
 Yes; the automobile would seem bet ter suited to my purpose. Has it any up-to-date features?"
 It's full of them." declared the sales man. 'In the first place 1t Is guaran- teed to get out of order before it has been used a week."
 "Is that it's most realistic feature?" inquired Mrs. Maitron.
 Hardly" replied the salesman. Its most realistic feature is the diabolical pleasure 1t seems to take in running over the carpet"

BATTERED TO PIECES.
Bark Is Sunk, But Crew Is Saved With
 Difficulty.

New York, December 1.-Caught in the storm of wind and snow that swept down from the northeast today, the American bark Edmund Phinney, Capt. Alfred An derson, was piled upon the sands off Sandy Hook beach and battered to pieces by mountainous seas. With great diff culty her crew, half dead from exposure, was rescued by the Sandy Hook and Spermacetti Cove life saving crews. after clinging to the hulk for several hours, the last man having scarcely swung off in the brooches buoy when the broken and battered bark went to pieces and disappeared in the boiling water Not an- other man could have been saved, so sud- denly did the bark disintegrate before the maddened seas. Tonight the Phin- neys crew are safely housed by the life savers, but they still are suffering from the exposure to storm and cold while clinging to the rigging.
 The Edmund Phinney was bound from Savannah to Perth Anboy, N. J., laden with lumber and railroad ties.

 people have laid upon us by their inter- est in past years in creating and main- taining this splendid fleet and in the continuation of that interest which now fits us out complete in every particular and sends us out on this great practice cruise to visit our friends and supporters on the Pacific coast of our country. I am sure that every officer and man in the fleet will feel it not only a duty but a pleasure to repay the people for their in- terest by absolute fidelity to the trust imposed upon him, in small things as well as in large.
 'I hope when we arrive at our destina- ton the people will have for us a well come as warm as the 'God-speed which they gave us on our departure, and that, should our commander-in-chief then de- eide to send us on a mission of peace and good will to the nations of the other hemisphere, the same warm interest will follow us in the future as 1t has always in the past.

Restful Note.

From the Baltimore American.
 In the midst of exposures, accidents and the general crookedness of human nature 1t Is a relief to turn to such items of contemporary history as the mention of the famous Ida Lewis, who has kept a lighthouse 50 years and saved nearly score of lives. In the struggle for selfish gain, of which the daily Vie of the world seems mainly made up, It restores ones faith in the good in human nature to note life like this, devoted. at the cost of personal sacrifice, to the saving and welfare of other lives.
