SPECIAL SESSION PROBABLE.


Goldfeld, New, Dec 25.-''it is pos
sible that the governor will call a spe-
cial session Of the legislature" said
Captain Cox, "if by go doing any i'm.
mediate RESULTS which will better the
situation can be obtained"
The rumor has been current here
that company Of rangers is contem-
plated, and, as this could not be done
without action by the legislature, the
statement of Captain Cox is taken to
mean that, such plan is decided upon,
the legislature will be convened.
A suit against the Western Fedora
ton OF Miners is to be brought by the
Gold6eld Mineowners' association in
the Federal court. An injunction will
be asked for restraining the members
OF the local miners union, which is
affiliated with the Western Federation.
from interfering in any way with the
operation of the mines in Goldfeld.
This suit will be filed December 20.
1t has been definitely decided that
after December 80 each individual mine
owner or each company operating a
mine or lease, shall take care of his
own property, independent of the asso-
cation. This will necessitate the put
ting on OF many more guards.
Acting President Mahoney has made
nc attempt yet to appear before the
mineowners and present any PROPOSE
ton looking to solution of the difficult
TIES. II be has prepared any such propo-
sition, which he denies.

Minneapolis, Dec. 2e.-Flour shin.
msnts from Minneapolis for 1907 will

Each Wants to Be Supreme In Re-
gard to Hospital Ships.
Rsar Admiral Bro~nson, Chief of the
Burs~u of Navigation, Resigns Be-
cause Surgeon General RixeY Wins
Dssisioa--May Result in Radical
Charge in System.

! Washington, Dec. 20. - Harmony
within the United States navy bureau
crucy seems TO be In for severe jolt.
Open war already has been declared
between the bureau OF navigation and
tbs burcsn OF medicine and surgery,
the initial result of which has been the
resignation OF Rear Admiral Rrownson
frcm his position as chief Of the former
bureau, and, coming just at q time
when severe criticism liz being aimed at
ths administration of the Navy depart
ment, the charges involving the bureau
system In particular, the ruction may
eliminate In some radical changes.
Surgeon General Rixey, whose re-
communication in favor of putting q
medical officer in absolute command Of
a hospital ship was approved by Presi-
dent Roosevelt against the view OF Adj
mfral Brownson, throws down the
gauntlet 10 the bureau OF navigation in
formal statement issued last night.
The surgeon general charges that the
bureau Of navigation has interfered in
m unwarrsnted manner with the bu-
reau Of medicine and surgery, and to
the extent OF crippling its usefulness
Comparatively trivial events some
tiracs lead TO sweeping reforms, and, if |
there be defects in management, in |
naval construction and in methods of |
naturalization, the Roosevelt Brown
son-Rixey imbroglio is likely to be the
means OF bringing matters to a focus
and causing remedies to be applied
where needed.
1t should not be forgotten that the

navy ~ the navy has, in considering

4 Washington, Dec. 3O.-Senator New
lands, OF Nevada, liz endeavoring to pre-
vent withdrawal Of the government
troops from Goid6eld until some Other
means Of protection is had. Today he
called upon Secretary Taft at the War
department and strongly urged that ex-
ecution Of the order iseued by the secre-
| taIy for the withdrawal of the troops be
suspended until be has had an oppoItu-
nifty to communicate with Governor
Sparks and induce him to call the Ne
vada legislature together.
Mr. Taft has been advising with Sec
rotary Root ON this subject and tonight
communicated with the president at
Pine Knot on the subject. There was
every disposition to refrain from break
ing In upon Mr.. Roosevelt's privacy at
this time, and the only excuse for do
ing so is found In the TACT that, unless
the original order is modified, the
troops must leave GoIdfeld before the
president returns to Washington.
The secretary declined to atate Whist
course he had recommended In the
matter, nor would he say whether he
had heard from the president In turn.
Secretary Leob said the White House
was entirely Without advice from Pine
Knot, an the Goldfeld question was
being handled by the War department.
Administration officials feel that the
present situation In the mstter OF Gold
deld's case cannot be continued. in view
II the doubt that exists as to the con-
titutional and legal right of the ex-
'cntive to employ any part OF the regu-
81 army In Nevada under present con-
!itions.
