hokE SMITH WRITES ABOUT CLEVELAND.

HOkE SMITH WRITES
 ABOUT CLEVELAND.
 Governor Hoke Smith, who was 1 secretary of the interior in the cabf. net of Grover Cleveland from 1893 to 1896, sent the following letter to the
 association of life insurance presi- dents which met in New York city last week:
 While regrettius inability to be present at the memorial services by the Association Uf Life Insurance Presidents in honor of, President Cleveland, l esteem 1t privilege to contribute a few words of tribute to his memory.
 T never met Mir. Cleveland but twice before entering his second cab inet. Then for uree and one-half years I was thrown with him con stantly. While Mir. Cleveland was nat urally conservative and reticent, to the members of lis cabinet, he was | most free in the expression of views ! and the discussion of policies, and his relations with them were extreme I iy cordial. He was not only admired by them, but I am sure each mem Der had a cordial affection for him.
 "Mr. Cleveland vas a man of great industry, although not naturally fond of work. His sense of duty caused him to labor continuously upon an, problem connected with his official responsibilities untIl he had exhaust ed all means to find the truth, While going through the process of investi- gation of any subject he was a ready listener and glad to receive informa- tion and suggestions. After having completed the work of investigation and having reached conclusion, he adhered immovabls to that coneIu- sion.
 T have heard him say that he ex- hausted his capacity to find what was right before he reached a conclusion and then nothing was left to him but to adhere to the conclusion formed.
 His great characteristic was fidel- ity to his conception of duty, but this characteristic was so marked that from it followed tireless industry and unyielding courage. He was a man of unsual wisdom, and his intuition was most acute His opinions of men were a most unerring He was suspi- cious of politicians, and could not -tol- crate machine methods, but he had an abiding faith ir the people and was devoted to the governmental in stitutions of his country. He really loved his country, nc; as a matter of personal ambition, but as a thing apart from his own interests.
 He detested graft even in its mildest form, and intensely believed the doc urine that public office should be treat ed as public trust not to be used for pprivate gain.
 Tn all matter of official conduct, Mir. Cleveland lived up to his high ideals. never abandoning them for temporary success.
 Tn his home life the big, and to the world sometimes rough man, was gentle and loving as little child, and the tender spirit usually covered be- hind the deserIninea will. was always present. . l
 Tn God and the future his faith knew no doubt. It rested upon the convictions of his youth, unchanged by manhood or old age.
 This briefly IS Mr. Cleveland as I saw and knew hinl- !
 He viii live in the history of his country, growing grceter as the years pass by, for the need of Cleveland will be felt more and more as to oth- CTS he Is compared" |

PRESIDENT SUPREME IN ARMY AND NAVY
Roosevelt Has Written Letters to Senators That Have
 Created Intense Feeling.

wASHINGTCN, May 9.-Three members of the United States senate have received letters from President Roosevelt within the last few days declaring his supremacy. as comman- 'der-in-chief, in all matters referring to the control Of the army and navy The letters nG se created intense feel ing in the senate and 1t is not unlikely that they will parcipitate a conference of Republican members. The Iettes in every case are in defense of his course in discharging without honor the negro soldiers he believed to be guilty of shooting up the town of Brownsville, Texas, and his action in banishing Col. W. F. Stewart to an abandoned military post in desert section of Arizona.
 The third letter came today to Sena- tor Stewart of Vermont. A few days ago during the debate on the Browns vile case Senator Stewart asked 8 question indicating that he had doubts as to the wisdom of extending to the president the power of passing on the innocence or guilt of ex-soldiers ap- plying for reinstatement, in view oi the fact that it appeared the president still believes all of the negroes to have been guilty of complicity In the affray.
 The senator was surprised to re ceive from the president today a let ter bearing on both the Colonel Stew. art and the Brownsville cases. At taced to the communication were let ters to Senators Rayner and William Alden Smith, the one to MT. RayneI asserting chiefly the presidents right as commander-in-chieft to deal with an officer in such manner as he pleased while the one to MT. Smith was con. fined to the Brownsville affair and re iterated the presidents belief that he had dealt with the case as conditions demanded.

WRONG VALUATION
 FOR SHATTUCk efl)). efl)
Production Rated at $118,57f Instead of $1,018,5t2-
 Review Figures Correct,

A number of exchanges throughout the county and territory in publishing the report of the production of the various mining companies in this county for the past year as was fur nished by County Assessor Howe. have been giving the value of the produc- ton of the Shattuck company at Bis bee as $1ls,572.6S, when it should have beeD s1,01S,512.21.
 The ngurss were published correct ly in The Review at the time, but one exchange made an error in copying them and the mistake has appeared in a number of others. The correct total of the valuation of the minerals produced is s23,S9s, ,070.i6, while that of the year before was $25, ,166.20, which makes the loss in production s1 ,237, ,096.04, and not nearly three millions as some of the exchanges have been making it.

PACKED THE HOUSE
 DID BURGESS CO.
0rpheum Breaks Record With "Queen of the White Slaves Will Be Repeated This Evening. .-

Talk about straight from the shoulder American plays, the Queen of the White Slaves" is the real thing. The Earl Burgess company started the ball rolling with it Sunday and last night at the Orpheum. It was a real production, not stitch o1 house scenery being used There are some clever people with this organization. Miss Anderson, the leading woman, gave a splendid per formance q the title role. Mir. Cor nell was a daShing hero, and very smooth and calculating villain was c. c. Miller. Miss Rothe was a real city waif, and excellent work was done by Miss Grantley and Miss Bronridge. MT. McCauley did clever comedy work as Smoke, and clever characterization was George w. Haley's dope fiend. Walter Percival played the sailor Mack in fine style.
 The house was packed to the over flowing point, in fact, it was one of the biggest audiences ever seen in the Orpheum. The company will re main in Bisbee for an indefinite pc riod, and as their repertoire consists of thirty two plays of different styles there will be no lack of novelty. "The Unwritten Law" will he the produc ton for Thursday, Friday and Satur day nights and Saturday matinee.

dition to repeating much that he said to the other senators. He declared that Senator Stewart, from the ques- ton he asked in the debate, appeared to be proceeding under a misappre- hension of the duties of the president of the United States in connection with the army and navy. He quoted the law as he understood it, and de- nied that he was under any obligation to give to the discharged negroes or to Colonel Stewart any court of in quiry. Several paragraphs were de voted to a discussion of Colonel Stew arts case and the faults of his which have got him in disrepute in army circles. After this discussion the president wrote that in every com munity there is found maudlin senti- ment with murderers, and the Thaw case cited by him as an example.
