TROUBLE EXPECTED
GENERAL FUNSTON DECIDES TO GO TO GOLDFkELD.
More Troops May Be Ordered to Scene And Martial Law VIII be De- ciared--Governor Sparks
 Arrives.

Goldfield. New. Dec. 10-It was an nounced here tonight that General Funston is to come to Goldfield to personally look over the situation here. More troops. 1t was said, may be sent. Governor John Sparks arrived this afternoon from Carson and had a con ference with Colonel Alfred Reynolds. in command of the Federal troops here. Meeting of the executive committee or the GoldfieId miners union and of the Goldfield Mine Owners Association were held tonight. It was reported tonight that the Federal authorities intend to take the conduct of the affairs out of the hands of the state and county of- ficials and that martial law will be de- cIared in Goldfield immediately upon the arrival of General Funston.
 The mine operators here apparently are determined to carry out their in- tention to resume operations on Thurs day. The arrival of Governor Sparks in Goldfield early this afternoon has led to many rumors of impending trouble but beyond the little excite ment caused by the presence of the Governor. two days ahead of the time, nothing has tranRpired today to materially affect the situaticn
 This afternoon Governor Sparks. ae- comma nied by his representative here. Colonel William M. Cox, went to the beadduarters of Colonel Reynolds. and an hour was spent in going over the situation in Goldfeld.
 Governor Sparks was visited at his hotel by many prominent mine owners and members and officials of the Gold field mine owners association but he denied that any official conference be- tween himself and the officials of the association had taken place since his arrival. He was also visited by off cers of the Goldfield miners union who assured him that the union has been and is still earnestly endeavoring to effect a peaceable settlement of diff culties between themselves and the mine operators.
 At a meeting of the executive com mittee of the Miners Union tonight resolutions condemning the authorities for sending troops and demanding their withdrawal were passed. The de- cision to stand by the previous declar- ations in regard to the refusal to ac- cept script in pay for wages was re- iterated.

BILL CAUSES TALK
MIR. CLAYTON MAY FORCE REPUB-
 LICAN HAND.
VIII Insist That House Act on His Measure OpposinG . Third Term for Reose-
 yelk.

Washington. Dec. 10.-(Speciai. )- The anti-third term resolution of Rep resentaive Clayton was the leading topic today in legislative and poiiti- cal circles.
 As was to be expected. Republicans as rule tried to make light of it. but the movement has surely set them to thinking. They will doubtless try to smother 1t by sending 1t to the House Committee on Election of Pres- ident. President and members of Congress This committee does not meet very often. In the last Congress 1t had more meetings than usual for the reason that the publicity bill re- garding contributions to political cam- paigns was given hearings as a result of the demands of the national organ ization of which ex-Representative Perry Belmont of New York Is Pres ident.
 Mir. Clayton is to have q conference with Minority Leader Williams and other Democrats to devise the best means of bringing the question before the House. They will probably insist that 1t Is a priveleged resolution and if that point Is sustained action can be forced either before or after the holiday recess. But even if the reso- lution is buried in the committee nam ed. there will be ways of forcing discussion of the third term question.
 The Democrats are very determined and generally concede that the Ala bama Congressman has hit upon a plan that is going to make 1t mighty un- comfortable for the Republicans if they are afraid to vote upon the question as to whether or not Theodore Roose- welt should have a third term. As previously stated in these dis patches, only eighteen Republicans in 1875 voted against the Springer reso- iutfon. aimed at President Grant. whose supporters demanded a third term for him. Among this small num- Der was Jere Haraison. then a noto- rious negro member of the House from Alabama, and who subsequently, died In an Arkansas penitentiary. Lynch and Small. negro members from Mis- sissippi, also were recorded in the neg Joseph c. Cannon were recorded among those not voting.
 Among Republicans who voted for the Springer resolution were such lead CTS then in the House as the late Pres- ident Garfield. Pig Iron" Kelly of Pennsylvania, Senators Hoar of Massa- l chusetts. Frye and Hale of Maine and the late Senator Conger of Michigan. Republicans who today claim the House will not permit the Clayton res olution to come to a vote pretend to believe that the matter will soon- blow over," but they do not know their op- ponents if they think they will not press the resolution. in view of the fact that there Is so much wild talk all over the land demanding that Roose- welt must run again.
 If the Clayton resolution could get hearing in this heavily Republican, House the majority would be com peiIed to show their hands, and that would make 1t embarrassing for a great many of the leaders. Senatsr Johnston today introduced a
 bill to throw open to settlement of the
 surface mineral lands in Alabama, be- ing a measure similar to those intro
 duced in the House hy Representatives
 Burnett and Hobson.

TO DELAY REPORT.
Brownsville Investigation Win Not n-
 Made Public Yet.

Washington. Dec, 10--The report of the Senate Committee on Military Af-s fairs as to It's findings in the Browns vile investigation will be delayed until more Of the bullets found at Browns ville can be analysed.
 The committe met today and review- ed the report on the bullets that had been submitted to the Geological Survey Anaiyfst. His analysis showed that there were distinct quantities of anti. mony in the bullets submitted. while war department officials have testi- fled before the committee that the army bullets in use by the troops at the time of the Brownsville riot were supposed to contain no aptimony what eyer.
 Some of the committee members say this finding is significant. while others consider 1t possible that old bullets of the kind formerly used by the Army and National Guardsmen, which con tained antimony. may have found thetr way into the ammunition supply of the Brownsville Company. An analysis of several other bullets which were found in various places at Brownsville has been ordered.
