THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
Senator Newlands Of Nevada had a shor.
conference with Seorstary Root to-day
in regard TO the withdrawal Of troops from

following telegram. which he sent to Gov.
| Sparks to-day:
My opinion is that in order to Justify the
national Government in using jts armsd
forces TO protect the State against domestic
violence IL is necessary. under the Constitu-
tiOn. that application should be made by the
Legislature or when the LegislRt,fe cannot
be cOnvenedl by the Governor. II is neces-
sary therefore for you. In my judgment. TO
convene the Legislature and to obtain its
decision as to whether application should be-
made to the President for protection OF an
adequate law passed for the organization of a
State peace force which will maintain order
and protect life and property. Individually
| believe in the latter course and that the
good name OF Nevada requires that il assert
its sovereignty. maintain order and protect
life and property within its boundaries. and
its duty il plain. The peace force should
not be under the control of or paid by either
the mine owners or the miners, but shou Id
stand alOOf from the industrial contest be-
tween them, with a single eye to the main
tenance Of order and the protection Of life
and property.
In all that YOU have done ! recognize the
difficulty OF the situation, your patriotic in
tentions and your desire to prevent violence
and bloodshed in the interest OF the common
good: but 1t il clear that the state must sooner
or later assert its sovereignty and iA firm
determination. unaided by the national Gov
ernment. TO suppress all violence. and l be-
heve the time Is now 1 cannot believe that
the Legislature can fail TO act promptly and
decisivcy. If il does not 80 act the respon-
sibility is theirs. not yours.

SITE or CANAL LOCKS CHANGED.
Those ON the Pacific Side VIII ne BuIn at
MIranOres Inst cad Of At la ROca.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2s.-The site Of the
locks and dams on the Pacific side of the
Panama Canal has been changed from
La Boca. which is near the Pacific Ocean.
TO Mirafiores, which is four miles inland
from the ocean and is the place where,
according to the old French plans. the
locks were to be built. This change in the
plans has been approved by President
Roosevelt on the recommendation Of Lieut..
Col George W. Cocktails, chairman and
chief engineer OF the commission. The
change was made because the site at La
BOca is exposed to the fire Of an enemy's
feet from the Pacific Ocean and the destruc-
tiOn of the locks by an enemy's feet would
render the canal practically useless.
The change of site will also effect a

a better foundation for the dams and lock
gates and will be completed in practically

quired for the construction Of locks at
La Boca. The change will eliminate Boca
Lake, and instead there will be five hundred
foot channel at sea level from the foot Of
the locks at Mirahores TO La Booa.
The question Of the site Of these locks
has been under consideration for many
months and the commission decided TO
recommend the change Of site. When
Lieut.. Col Goethals reached Washington
from the Canal Zone several weeks ago
one Of his first duties was to lay before the
President the recommendation Of the COM
mission for the removal Of the locks from
La Boca to Mirahores The site at La Boca
was tentatively decided upon several years
ago. but the decision was always open to
objection on the part Of the military au-
thorities. who pointed out that IL the locks
were placed at La Boca an enemy could

In his annual message 70 the Legislature
ON "wednesday or treat the subject in a
special message later is undecided. At the
last session Gov. Hughes was appalled, at
the mass OF special Legislation which was
dumped into the Executive Chamber. He
became convinced that the remedy was
biennial sessions. After the Legislature
adjourned the Governor announced this
fact in one Of his public addresses.
There are other reasons why biennial

Senator Platt. in preventing the Repub-

biennial sessions. Nevertheless. when
Theodore Roosevelt became Governor in
1900. in his annual message TO the Legis-
Iature ne strongly indOrsed biennial ses-
sions as the only cure for OverlegislatiOn.
The biennial session amendment which
passed the Legislature in 1898 had major
ity Of IS in the Assembly of 1899. and then
Mr. Roosevelt through his friends in the
State Senate, headed by Nevada N. Strana-
han. worked hard to get the amendment
through the Senate for a second time so
it could be submitted to a vote Of the people
the following fall. Richard Croker thought
he had lined up the Democratic Senators
in favor Of the amendment. but they did
| not all stick Then Mr.. Roosevelt forced
a caucus Of the Republican Senators. but
senators Brackett and Malby remained
away from the caucus. and when the bien-
NAL sessions amendment came up for final
passage a second time il was defeated by
one vote. that Of Senator Willis. who bolted
the Republican caucus. Every one about

Now Gov. hughes has taken the subject
