as will be sufficient in the premises. .
In his letter to Governor Sparks,
after reviewing the steps so far taken
in the Goldfield mining trouble, the
President continues:
Il have just received the report of
these three gentlemen Murray,
Smith and NeilD, which sets forth in
the most emphatic language their be-
lief, after careful investigation on
the ground, that there was no war
rant whatever for calling on the
President for troops and that the
troops should not be kept indefinitely
in Goldfield. The report further
states that there was no insurrection
against the power of the State at
the time the troops were called for;
that nobody supposed that there was
such an insurrection, and that none
of the conditions described in sections
5297-S-9 of the Revised Statutes as
warranting interference by the fed
eral government existed, and that the
effort was and Is plainly an effort by
the State of Nevada to secure the
performance by the United States of

The report further says:

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt has determined to
withdraw the federal troops from
Goldfield. New, shortly after the
legislature begins its special session.
This intention was made known at
the White House today, when the re-
port of the special investigating COM
mittee was made public, together
with letter from the President to
Governor Sparks dated January 4th.
The President says he shall be gov
erned by the recommendations in the
report unless the Governor can show
that the statements of the report are
not in accordance with the facts. The
report says the conditions did not
support the general allegations in the
Governors request for troops, nor
were his specific statements estab-
lished to any such extent as to JUS
tify his use of these statements for
the purpose of getting federal troops
1t concludes with this recommen-
dation:
But we must firmly believe that
upon the assembling of the legisla-
ture. or within few days thereafter,
the troops should be removed, re-
gardless of any request for their re-
tention that may be made by either
the legislature or the Governor OF
Nevada. 1t being the essential that
the State OF Nevada shall understand
this situation completely: shall rec

had traversed pretty much the whole
