a small riot on the part of the long shore population in their efforts to secure the strange lizards whose name they could not pronounce.

 Whether the city is or is not a better place than the country for teaching boys is a question which is causing much discussion among local educat- DTS. A local minister of prominence has just opined that it is. stating the city boy has a better chance in his moral development than tRe country lad. finding his reason in the argument that the latter must put in so much time at being busy. that Is, working on the farm, that there is not time left for his moral education such Ss going to church. This is a distinct reversal of the popular opinion and remains as yet in the realm of theory. Statistics
 
 ever. show beyond a doubt that the country is much better place to re- form the boy who has gotten a bad start. As a result of the boards an nual inspection. the New York Juve- nile asylum, located twenty miles out of the city and the first institution of it's kind to adopt the cottage plan. has just been placed in the rfist- class which means that it has attained the highest possible efficiency. But the same in stitution when located in it's old home in the city amid the atmosphere which led to the undoing of the boys who are sent to it never stood higher than third class. So whether the city or the country is the best place to rear the boy still remains an open question. New York's experience based on the results obtained at the Juvenile asylum show that the country IS by far the best place to reform him.

Father knickerbocker has establish
 ed a worlds record for roundup. the
 food roundup incidental to victualing the fleet of warships going to the Paci- fic. Practically all of the enormous
 total of S,6S5.930 pounds of food stuffs necessary were purchased or contract
 ed for here. The whole amount if placed in a single heap would make a structure as large as the F'iatirOn
 Building. In spite of this however the
 bluejackets are expected to eat il up in one hundred days. The provision
 ing of the fleet was conducted with considerable secrecy and as a hesult the size of the task has been little un- derstood. New York's whole available supply of canned tomatoes was used up in supplying this. single item of 900.000 pounds. The beef item is close to 1.OOO,O0O pounds. representing the product of 1900 cattle which if march
 ed ups Broadway from Battery would make line three miles long. Other enormous quantities which Father Knickerbocker was called upon to furnish are potatoes 1.50O. 900 pounds: sugar 1.40O,OOO pounds; flour 1900. 900 pounds: cheese 10000 pounds catsup 24OO gallons and jams $500 pounds. Every thing else in the entire list was supplied on this gigantic scale and as a result New York's markets have been stripped almost bare.
 New York has the tjitjaks, although the average person here if confronted with the statement would probably indignantly, deny it as a blot on the reputation of the city. But the tjitjak is here nevertheless. and while he is not liable to last long Father Knick- erbocker may find some consolation in the fact that never before has he visit ed the United States. The strange vis- itor is not so formidable as his name might indicate. being a lizard native to India where he works hard as a scav- enger and a consumer of mosquitoes. Great care is always taken. however, by vessels loading there to exclude him from the cargo, as his society is not pleasant away from his native haunts. even though he can outdo the chameleon in changing colors. Just how the tjitjaks got aboard the vessel which brought them to New York is unknown, but get aboard they did in large numbers. Many were destroyed | by the crew in the war of exterminG tion which they waged. There were enough left, however, when the vessel | they came on docked here to cause |

This announcement was made last
night by Francis j. Heney of San
Francisco, the special representative
of the department of justice, who has
for some time been investigating the
Oregon land fraud cases and who will
assist in conducting the trial of these
cases This decision was arrived at
yesterday at conference between At

Mr. Heney stated that definite agree
ment was reached between the attor-

agreement
An important conference was held

APPEAL TO HAVE
TROOPS RETAINED
MINE OWNERS WILL LAY SOME
NEW EVIDENCE BEFORE
PRESIDENT.
WILL SUE THE FEDERATION
ASK INJUNCTION TO RESTRAIN
UNION FROM INTERFERING
WITH MINES.

Goldfeld, New, Dec %. - Despite
the positive statement which came
from Washington yesterday to the eff
feet that the federal troops will be re-
moved from Goldfield on Dec. 80, mine
owners have not given up and will APP
peal again to the president. They Will
present, they say some matters which
have not been laid before him, one OF
these being what they regard as posi-
tive evidence that at least one deporta-
ton was attempted by the Western
Federation of Miners, in which four
rifles were used.
Organize Rangers.
While the miners yesterday were
preparing to send further evidence to
the president, Sheriff ingalls, and Capt.
Cox were comforting on plans for the
preservation Of law and order after
the troops depart. Sheriff ingalls,
said last night that he is seeking at
least fifty new men to constitute a
force of deputies who will patrol the
camp night and day, armed with guns.
The rlimor has been current here
that a company of rangers is contem-
plated. However, this could not be
done without action by the legislature.
Will Sue Federation.
A suit against the Western Fedora
ton of Miners is to be brought by the
Goldfie1d Mine Operators association
in the federal court An injunction
will be asked for, restraining the mem
bers of the local miners union, which
is affiliated with the Western Fedora
ton, from interfering in any way with
the operation of the mines in Goldfield.
This suit will be filed Dec. 26.
1t has been definitely decided that
after Dec. 80 each individual mine
owner or each company shall take
care of their own property, independ-
ent of the association. This will ne
cessitate the putting on of many more
guards.
