BRITISH COTTON GROW
ING ASSOCIATION MEETS.

London, Feb. 13.-At the annual
meeting of the British Cotton Grow
ing association last night, the presl-
dent, j. +. Newton, announced that
the colonial office had decided to
make large grants to encourage cot
ton growing in Sierra Leone and in
northern Nigeria. 1t was reported
that the new seasons crop was now
beginning to arrive from British East
and British Central Africa, and is of
good quality. A syndicate which is
being formed to develop the cotton
growing industry in East Africa will
shortly commence operations on a
large scale, and the latest reports
from the district are very favorable.
An allotment was made of 1874
shares, which had been applied for
during the month, application for g.
144 of which had come from New
York. In the course of his annual
address the president said that If the
steady progress in the cotton indus
try continued there need be no de-
pendence on any foreign country for
cotton, in the course of a year or two.
Reports from Egypt show the sea-
sons crop to be an excellent one.

BODIES ARE RECOVERED
WITH MUCH DIFFICULTY

Block Island, Feb. 13.-The recov-
cry of bodies of the victims of the
steamer Larchmont, sunk in collision
with the schooner Harry Knowleton
Monday night, proceeds slowly and
with difficulty during the night and
early today. Up to o'clock this
morning, 81 bodies had been recoved
by coast patrols and vessels sent to
scour the sound. The list of surviv-
ors still stands at 10. Eleven have
been so far identified. Purser Oscar
A. Young maintained today that there
aboard the steamer when she left
Providence and most of the survivors
who are able to express opinions are
Inclined TO support his figures rather
than the estimate of Capt. McVey of
from so to rs. This means that of
$50 to 200 persons aboard the Larch-
mont, nine passengers and ten sailors
survived. Their condition is pitiable,
but two physicians constantly attend
ing them, express the opinion that
none will succumb. The Larchmont
is said to have carried eight life boats
and four life RATS. So far five of
these boats and one raft are account
ed for. There is little hope for the
occupants of the missing life boats
and RATS having survived the fearful
gale, which moderated but slightly
during the night. Nearly all of the
surviving passengers interviewed
agree that the crew and officers be-
haved well and did everything to save
the lives of the passengers.

THAW TRIAL MAKES BUT
LITTLE PROGRESS
ALL DAY
Jurors Wife Taken Sick De-
layed Opening of Court and
Caused Adjournment.
CASE MAY BE ADJOURNED
FOR DAY OR TWO LONGER

New York, Feb. 13.-The opening
of the Thaw trial was delayed today.
owing to the illness or Juror Joseph
Bottoms wife, who asked permission
to visit his home in company with
two court officers. Bolton was taken
home. His wife is threatened with
pneumonia.
After the announcement of the ILL
ness of Bottoms wife. Jerome and
Delmas were called into conference
with Justice Fitzgerald and few
minutes later announced recess
would be taken in the case until 2
o'clock this afternoon.
Thaw remained in the prisoners
pen this morning where he had a
long chat with his wife. Counsel for
the defense said this morning it was
the intention of the defense to have
Dr. Evans take the stand this after
noon for cross examination. He will
be followed by Mrs. Thaw. who, in
view of broad foundation" of pris-
oner's insanity laid by experts will
be asked TO conclude ner story. Jer-
ONE had objected to her doing so on
the ground that what she had to say
was permissible only after defendant
was shown by competent testimony
to have been of unsound mind
Continuance of the trial was agreed
upon after Delmas informed the
court that he would require only
about twenty minutes to complete
the direct examination of DR.. Evans.
This was done so that in event of
adjournment for day or two the
case may be re-opened with Mrs.
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw on the stand.

UNITED STATES GOLD
AND SILVER PRODUCTION.

washington, Feb. 13.-StatiSticS
showing gold and silver production in
the United States during 1906 have
some interesting features. Colorado
still leads in respect of the produc-
ton of gold, but shows a decrease of
about $3,000,000 from 1905. Cali
fornia remains in second place, but
likewise shows a decrease of about
half a million. Alaska, whose output
is third largest, shows an increase Of
more than $6,0OO,OOO. Nevada
thanks to the activity in the new
mines at Goldfeld and Tonopah, has
nearly doubled its output. showing
$9,S15, 800, against $5,356,100 in
1905. Wyoming has the smallest out
put, $26,400 among fourteen states
and three territories separately mem
toned The output credited to other
states" shows a surprising increase
from only $17,100 in 1906, to $429,-
100 Colorado, likewise leads the
silver states, and has nearly held it's
own, while Montana, which led in
1905, shows a decrease of nearly two
millions. Next in order to these two
are Utah, Idaho, Nevada and Arizona.
Alabama, which produced $4,000
worth in 1905, produced none last
year. Georgia has the smallest out
put. an even $1,000, among the
states and territories individually
mentioned. To other states 1850, 900
is credited, which is 100000 less
than in 1905. The total output of
silver is $50, 500, which is $751;
800 greater than in 1905.

Special to The Evening Citizen.

Special to The Evening Citizen.
Santa Fe, N. M, Feb. 13.-While in
session. President Spiess introduced a
bill having for its object the removal
of all county officers in case of mall
feasance or criminality in office,
through a suit in the district court.
Under the provisions of this bill suit
must be brought by a district attor-
ney If one or more taxpayers of a
county file information charging any
county official with malfeasance.
The district attorney shall give the
defendant a trial and If he be found
guilty, the court shall render a judg-
ment for his summary removal from
office. The official If acquitted can
recover costs from the county. This
bill is now in the hands of the judici-
ary committee and will probably be
reported tomorrow.
Council bill No. 21 was reported
by the committee on finance without
any recommendation as to its pas
sage. 1t is a bill defining what banks
may become territorial repositories.
The president sent the bill to the
committee on judiciary.
The council is engaged in consider
ing council bill No. 33, known as the
tax bill. and the only important
change so far is that sheep shall be
assessed in the countries in which the
owners reside and not in the counties
in which the sheep range; provided,
however, that the owner is a resident
of New Mexico; otherwise they are
assessed where they range

LOG CUT OF NORTH
ERN MAINE LARGE.

Dover Me-, Feb. 13.-Though snow
and lack of labor have hampered
somewhat the logging operations I'm
the northern part of this state IL Is
estimated that the cut on the st.
John and Allagash rivers will be we'll
up to the average, The estimates for
the Upper st. John are 155,00O,OOo
to 160,000,0OO feet of which about
100, 5000 feet will be from Maine.
The total cut on the st. John river
this winter is estimated at sos, ,OOO,-
900 feet, Of which 155.000,0O0 feet
Is on the upper river; 100000, 900 ON
the Miramichi and 50,000,000 on the
Restigoucke. In 1906 there was ex-
ported from New Brunswick ports to
the United States and transatlantic
ports 420,000.000 feet of timber. a
increase over the ex-
ports of 1905. To the United States
alone the port of St. John shipped
lumber and wood pulp valued at 81
799,6S5. an increase of $232,0O over
1905.

ARMY ENLISTNIENTS
STEADILY INCREASING.

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 13.-From
all parts of the country the military
authorities have reports that enlist
ments are steadily increasing. This
fact comes as a pleasant surprise
for up to two months ago the heads
of the department were i'm a quandry
owing to the great falling off in re-
cruiting. Lieutenant Chamberlain re-
ports a steady increase in the num-
ber of recruits in southern Texas
and satisfactory reports also come
from Florida, Alabama, Mississippi
and Georgia. 1t is plain, however,
that IT was the announcement that
enlistments would be for the Philip
pines that attracted the recruits for
there are scores of men who would
enlist every day If they were sent
abroad. Numbers, however have
decided for the army life without
questioning their location. Though
the recruiting at present is all that
could be desired it must continue
for some considerable time before
the full complement can be secured.

will be deprived of their birthright
unless the leasing system is adopted.
Answering the charge that the res
ervation of natural forests raises the
price of lumber In the west, the pres
ident says: ''It should be remembered
that the best and most accessible
bodies of timber In the west had al
ready passed into private holdings
before the forest reserves were estab-
lished; that while the price of timber
has advanced in the west 1t has ad-
vanced still more in the east where
there are no forest reserves; that
supplies of timber are today being
shipped from the west to the mar
kets of the Mississippi valley and
even to foreign countries"
sit may be claimed fairly among
the advantages of the leasing system
that:
81. 1t will facilitate working coal
deposits for loca. markets by miners
without large capital.
"2. 1t will facilitate larger opera
tions.
"3. IT will prevent waste In ex-
traction and handling of these fuels.
"a. The system can be operated
in such a manner as to prevent evils
of monopolistic control.
"5. 1t will permit the government
to reserve from general use the fuel
supply suitable for special industries;
and
sc. 1t will enable the government
to protect the public against unrea-
sonable and discriminating charges
for fuel supplies"
The president urges care in the
disposal of these mineral land inter-
ests, foreseeing the time when the
so-called inexhaustible resources will
be taxed to more than their capacity
in supplying the demand. He trusts
congress may prevent coal lands OF
the west from getting into control oi
corporations as have the eastern an
thracite fields.
Government control of western
pasture lands is urged upon the same
general principles now applying to
government control of forest reserves
Enough revenue from the range only
to pay for its admission and improve
ment would be sufficient the mes
sage urges. More land agents are
urgently requested.

Wants Minerals Retained When Surface
Is Patented, to be Subsequently De-
velOped Under Lease.
WANTS GOVERNMENT FORESTS RESERVED AS UTILITIES
Urges Charge For Grazing on Public Domain and SAYS
That Increase in Number of Land Agents
Is Greatly Demanded.

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 13.-Pres-
ident Roosevelt today sent to congress
a message calling attention to what
he terms urgent need of legislation
affecting the different phases of the
public land situation in the United
States"
He advocates the conservation of
coal and other fuel resources of the
government lands, urges government
control of western public land past
ures with a system of small grazing
fees, and asks for an appropriation OF
half a million dollars to aid in the
detecting and preventing of land
frauds. He contends for a system of
government leasing of its mineral
lands and for treating its fuel lands
as public utilities.
THE president points out that 1t
would be better IL some eastern coal
lands had been left under govern
ment control, and suggests a provision
in the west against the recurrence of
conditions we deplore in the east"
Citing $4,000 cases of public land
entries in four districts mentioned,
the president says that the non-com-
half. and fraud was in many others
He asks for legislation which will
provide two distinct titles to public
lands. One for surface and the other
| for underlying minerals. These min
eral lands the president would dis
pose of by lease. The details of the
plan he leaves for congress to work
| out, only arguing for the adoption OF
| some plan.
Instances of the successful leasing
of such lands by foreign govern
ments are cited by the president and
he argues at length for the separate
development of farming and mining
on American lands. Foreign practice
also is cited as reason why mineral
fuels, forests and navigation streams
should be treated as public utilities.
In this way only can the rights OF
the future generations adequately be
protected. The quantity of high
grade mineral fuel in the west is rel
atively smaller than the forests anC
its preservation should be subject tc
the wisest legislation. Ultimately
these rich lands will pass out of fed
eral control and future generations
