FORT SAM HOUSTON WILL
 BECOME A BRIGADE POST

San Antonio, Tex, February 2S.- Special. )-Fort Sam Houston of San Antonio is being transformed from a regimental into brigade post, and when the work now under way is com pleted will be the largest army post in the United States. This post has had the most remarkable development. In 1899 it consisted of 100 buildings of cheap construction, which cost $546, 722 33. It now consists of 1S3 buildings which with walks, roads, sewer sys- tenn, etc, cost $1.S45,S25. .31. Sixty four additional buildings have been authorized and are partially completed, which will cost $794, 140 and 24 other buildings will be put up at a cost of $290,S50, making a total of 271 build ings at cost of s3,279, S93 .31. These figures are furnished by the quarter master generals department and are official
 Fort Sam Houston covers 5S5h acres, and occupies a commanding site overlooking this city. It is considered the most desirable station in the army owing to the fact that the climate here is delightful both winter and summer

MARK TWAIN JOKES WITH
 OIL MAGNATE ROGERS

New York, February 3,-fspecial)- )- Mark Twain and H. H. Rogers were in great humor when q party of inter viewers discovered them on the deck of the steamer Bermudian. just before sail ing time today. Mark had on a new suit of gray tailoring and looked very much of a dandy. The captain of the Rocke- feller industries was sombrely clad in black and made rather dismal figure beside the radiant humorlst. Both were chuckling over some joke when the re- porters came up Mr Clemens turned to them and said:
 Well I see that we are discovered. That's what I get for being in bad com pany."
 Well, you've got no edge on me Some of my methods may be bad. The pub lie says so, at least. But they are no worse than your jokes, Sam
 The two friends were so ticlsled for a few minutes that they could not speak, whereupon reporter asked:
 MT. Clemens, I suppose you are. going to Bermuda with MT. Rogers to keep him in good humor2
 Not at all," replied the author of Huckleberry Finn. T keep my jokes

It is customary for the war depart ment to send regiments returning from the Philippines here to recuperate, be- cause conditions are so pleasant
 There has never been any friction between the citizens of San Antonio and the private soldiers, who are not discriminated against in any way in this city, Many of the private soldiers indeed on the expiration of their terms find work here and become citizens of San Antonio, the majority of the em- ployes of the street railway company here being ex-soldiers.
 The officers quarters at Fort sam Houston are considered the best in the army, and the social life both of the post and the city makes this station most attractive to the officers. Indeed so many officers have found wives in this city, that San Antonio is jocularly known in military circles as the moth er-in-law of the army"
 The existence of the post here IS a great benefit to the city, and the cit izens in appreciation of the benefits are now erecting by popular subscription A handsome chapel at the post, as gift to the government. The parades and reviews are a feature of life here, and are much frequented by the win ter visitors that throng the city at thls season.

TRAVEL IN THE ARCTIC.
Reindeer Bill Says Autos Will Have a
 Tough Time.

Tacoma, February 23.--"Reindeer Bill'' Huber, the Alaskan mail carrier, who is now in Tacoma, says the auto, mobiles on their way to Paris from New York will have plenty of trouble down the Yukon to Nome. The only chance the racers will have to reach Nome on schedule time. in the opinion of Reindeer Bill," is to follow in the wake of the big dog teams carrying the mails.
 The snow gets as deep in the frozen river as it does on land. If the ice is smooth md the wind heavy the snow will blow off, but often it accumulates and makes travel difficult The large heavy sleds with their 300 and 400 pounds of mail together with the dog team comprised of dozen or more Mamalutes may break the trail enough for the automobiles to travel over it.

 The finaneier ehueked again and said:
 And I'm going because Marks pay ing my fare I'm broke."
 That's true, said Mark "rm paying his fare. but I'm still g shy. I'm going to shake him down for that s2 when we get out to sea"
 "Ha! ha!' laughed Mr. Rogers. That's one of his jokes, but it is not worth s2, is it?''
 Then MT. Clemens fell into a serious mood and said that he was going back to Bermuda to remain until April. He had gone down there earlier in the win ter. but had returned because of a pres sure of social engagements.
 T am going to be good for about three weeks" said MT Rogers.
 Yes" chuckled the humorist, Rogers is going to make three weeks of it and write book"
 Not that kind" smiled the chief engi- neer of the Standard Oil
 When asked if he would say anything of the situation MT. Rogers wheeled about and, surveyed the sky.
 "The horizon looks pretty bright" he said, "and you may say that in that way it does not differ very much from the outlook

SPANISH DRY DOCK NOW H PENSACOLA Inheritance of United States
 from Spain GREAT STEEL STRUCTURE The Dock Was Once Stationed At Ha- vana When Owned By Spain, But
 Is Now Fixture At Pen
 sacola Navy Yard.

Pensacola. Fla, February @.-CSpeciaI.1
 The Havana dry dock, which is one or the most important and valuable inherit ances of the government of the United
 States from the government of Spain.
 as a eonseouence of the war of 1898, is now one of the fixtures of the Pensacola navy yard.
 This dock is a sectional structure of steel. It was built in Glasgow early III the sos and was lowed, in sections, to Havana At the time of it's completion it was one of the largest floating docks in the world, having lifting capacity of battleship of ten to eleven thou sand tons displacement. The cost of the dock to the Spanish government was sT5O. 900, and while but little use had been made of 1t by the Spanish navy, when hostilties had been drawn to close
 between the United states and Spain, and the peace conference at Paris had concluded it's deliberations, it de- veloped that along with the Philippines at a S2O00o,000 cost, the peace commits sioners of the United States had agreed to take over the Havana dry dock for the mere bagateile of about half of its | original cost.
 Early in 1899 the dock was lowed in | sections, by powerful tugs, from Ha- vana to Pensacola, where it has remained ever since
 Admiral Schley's Flagship. | Extensive repairs to large number | of the smaller craft of the navy have been undertaken at the Pensacola navy yard since 1900, and all of these vessels have been taken out on the spanish 1 dock except possibly two or three; but no opportunity, except in the case of l the first class cruiser Brooklyn, which l made history that will live forever, as l the flagship of the hero of the battle of 1 Santiago-Admiral Schley-has been pre- l sented to test the docks capacity since | it has been the property of the gov | ernment. After a cruise covering a number of | months in the Caribbean sea and the | south Atlantic, the Brooklyn was ordered | to the Pensacola yard for extensive re- hairs in the spring of 1902 The big crui- ser was lifted from the water by the Spanish dock and the repairs ordered | were made.
 Has Many Visitors.
 | To the uninitiated land lupper a uoch | of the character and capacity Of this | Spanish structure, is a novel sight worth l seeing Under the regulations of the navy department, no restrictions are l placed upon visitors to any of the navy l yards of the government during certain
 hours of daylight. and every visitor to the Pensacola yard is always accorded a. cordial welcome there, and if request | ed. guide is furnished to show vis- itors through.
 The Mardi Gras carnival, which thls | year occurs on March and 8, for which | extremely low railroad rates have been l granted by all Southern railroads af- l lords an excellent opportunity for visit | ing Pensacola and the navy yard, located 1 but five miles from the city by boat or l electric car.

 However, it appears that the eitort IS going to be made It is not unlikely that an amendment will be secured 10 the city's charter at the coming session or the general assembly, authorizing the issue Then it is up to the people to vote on It, and that is where it is most likely to fail Tn the meantime a bond campaign has all ready been inaugurated, and every efort will. no doubt, be made to bring the mat fer to successful issue.

Republican Plans.

Chairman Walter Johnson of the repup- lican state central committee of Georgia is as silent as the sphinx when 1t comes to the question as to what the Georsi1 .republicans are going to do about thelr convention this year.
 So far the only thing that is practically settled is that the republicans, despite the gossip to that effect, will not put out a state ticket this year.
 The Republican State league, which IS antagonistic to the lilly whites or or fice-holding element, charges that the ue- lay in calling the state committee to- gether for the purpose of arranging TOT the convention is due to manifest et- fort to aid the administration pro gramme in booming Secretary Taft Pres ident J. G. Sistrunk of the league ne s threatened to do some convention ealing himself unless Chairman Johnson gets busv. In the meantime Chairman John- son saws wood, undismayed.
 All that can be gotten out of Chairman Johnson Is that nothing has yet been done toward the calling of a convention, ana ne doesn't know when anything will be done

An expression of an mplacable intention to stand

publcans of Idaho although the managers of their
party have said in their opening declaration of the
presidential year, declaration that instructed their
delegates to the national convention of their party.
In theory, the principle stubbornly sustained
by the Wallace convention maintains the excellent

A Rejected Bride.

The game of politics that has enlivened the dull
ballots in connection with the congressional cand-
dacy of Colonel T. R. Hamer, of ST. Anthony has
been rendered interesting by statement from the
colonel
1t was given out few months ago that he aspired
to the position nefficently occupied by Congress
French of Idaho, and that he intended to
exercise the right of an aspiring citizen and make
earnest fight for the place. through the agency
of the republican party convention
Shortly after the PRONUNCIATION of his intentions,
the president appointed him receiver of the land office
at Backfoot, Idaho, and the senate promptly
frmed the appointment 1t presumed that Col
onel Hamers ambition had been appeased by the
paying job adrotly conferred by Congressman French
and that he would not oppose that genteman's
endeavor to succeed himself.
But the colonel declares that he is still in the field
He makes the further surprising statement that he
not applicant for the Blackfoot receivershp,
that he has yet qualified and has not decided to
accept the place
All this is very dscouraging to Mr.. French who
to have presumed that it only necessary to
fling a bride at the head of Colonel Hamer to
bring him to his knees He will be supported in the
convention by his county delegation if instruc-
tons obeyed and is likely to accumulate
siderable southern strength for the Mormons dis
posed to favor their own section.

The Principle of Protection.

In the platform of the republican party of Idaho,
adopted at Wallace late as the 18th of May of the
current year, that party committed to the
IRENE tariff protection of all the partys past The
platform declares that the republicans of Idaho
cupy that position "unaterably"
The Scirnitar hopes it will be excused for casting
doubt upon the reliability of that declaration 1t
does believe that many republicans of the present
day are una1terably committed to policy that is ad
mitted by many republicans to have been responsible
for the enthronement of monopoly.
Everywhere republicans conspiring among
themselves to rid themselves of the burden imposed
by excessive protection which gives to certain classes
advantages not enjoyed by the masses.
But for promise to relieve the people of the
sequences of the excessive protection of the past and
present. the republican party would have no hope
of success in the pending national election Whether
the promise will be considered equivalent to the
act remains to be SEEM and the ballots of November
will decide the question
Yet the republicans of Idaho say:
We declare ourselves unalterably in favor of the
republican principle of protection applied to raw
materials as we'll to manufactured articles pro-
duced in the United States
1t was the principle of protection" that created
