ROOSEVELT Deceived.
President Intimates He Was Not Told
the Truth About Goldfeld.

Goldfeld, New. Dec. 21.-News of
the presidents order removing the
federal troops from Goldfeld on De-
cember 80. has caused a sensation
among the mine owners and the resi-
dents of the city generally. Confer

the representative of Governor Sparks

handing the troops here, and between
the mine owners and members of
President Roosevelt's commission.
President McKinnon and other Off
ciais of the miners union said that
the possibility of disorder or violence
of any sort will be no greater after the
removal of the troops than now and
that they shall use every endeavor to
maintain peace and quiet.
The text of the telegram sent by
Attorney Q. N. Hilton to President
Roosevelt, to which no reply has as
yet been received is as follows:
ITO His Excellency, Theodore Roose-
welt, President of the United States,

The Hog Market.

| Kansas City, Dec. 21.-Hog values,
| market conditions and supply situa-
ton at the present time would make
| one think that, instead of being a sta
pie food article, the hog was some in
dustrial or railroad stock that had
| been watered to the extreme limit and
was under federal investigation. All
| precedentS have been destroyed ESti-
| mates, based on former governing con-
ditions, proved to be but the widest
! guesses, while market changes and
| price variations have been so rapid and
| so violent as to put one in mind of
| the stock exchange in a panic. To
| keep up with these variations was i'm
| possible, both buyer and seller failed
to do so. Minutes frequently saw $50
25c fluctuations and changed apathy
into urgency, or vice versa. On We'd
neSday of last week the bulk of the
hogs sold at $4.45@4.65 and on yester-
day at $4.30Q455. In the one week bulk
of sales ranged from $4.75@5, on Thurs
day. to I4.20@4.40 on Saturday On two
days the market was SOC lower, at some
time, than on preceding day, and on
two others was 15@Z5c higher than the
day before. Several times closing sales
on same dav. sometimes higher and
sometimes lower. The Oldest inhabit-
ant cannot recall similar conditions and
1t is well that they cannot. Such
situation could not come often or last
long without driving the producer out
of business. 1t is doing so every day
now, as is plainly shown by the char
acter of a large number of hogs now
coming, ranging from high bred brood
sows to sucking pigs. Receipts at this
point aggregated $1,000 against 74,300
previous week and 81, 600 same week last
year. Packers seem anxious for all the
hogs they can get below SAFE but are
hammering them to as low point as
liberal supplies will permit. Demand
has really been better around $3.50 than
at the points below that figure. No one
fnr
and the country seems determined to
keep on marketing regardless of price.
Compared with a year ago the market ,
shows a decline of $l-S5@2.
Prices paid for hogs at Kansas City
the past week and same week last year
were as follows:

His Final Word.
The following telegram was sent to
Governor Sparks yesterday by the
president. :
"I have received no answer from
you to my telegram of December II,
in which 1 said that unless there was
forthwith further cause shown to JUS
tify keeping the troops at Goldffeld /
should direct their return to their for
mer stations. I am Informed by the
three representatives of the depart
ment of commerce and labor who are
in Goldfeld by my order that you
have stated to them in writing that
you will not convene the legislature
to consider call for troops nor take
the necessary steps to form a safe
military force. Their report further
satisfies me that there is no disturb
ance threatened which the govern
ment of Nevada ought not be able to
control II II starts 10 WOrk with ser
ious purpose to do so, but that no
effort is being made by the govern
ment of Nevada to take steps neces-
sary in the matter. 1 stand ready to
see that the national government does
its full constitutional duty in this mat
ter of preserving order, but this readi-
ness on the part of the national gov
eminent does not excuse the state
government for failure to perform its
full duty in the first place. Federal
aid should not be sought for by the
state as a method of relieving itself
from this duty and the state should
not be permitted to substitute the
United States for the government of
the state in the ordinary duties of
maintaining order within the state
For the reasons given in this and my
former telegram 1 have accordingly
directed the troops to return to their
former station on Monday, December
