BUSY ON SALARY
REDUCTIONS

The board of county commission
ers are still considering the matter
of reducing the salaries of county Of
ficials and spent nearly the entire
day in consulting with different at
torneys. A committee representing
the attorneys of this city presented
bill to the board and today the diff
erent county officers will discuss the
bill in its entirety. The bill calls for
general deduction in nearly every
office, placing them on a reduced SAL
airy and having the fees received
turned into the treasurer's office. The
contents were not made public and
will not be until several changes are
made which will be suggested by the
officers concerned. Then if the
county commissioners still decide to
make an attempt to reduce the sal
aries the bill will be sent to Carson
and introduced before the legisla-
ture

LARGE
AUDIENCE Sees
The HOLY CITY

The reproduction of THE Holy
City" last night at the Pavilion drew
a crowd that equalled the attendance
of the previous night. The inclement
weather had an effect of keeping a
few at home and for this the house
would have been crowded. All who
attended the first nights perform
ance were loud in their praise yes
terday of the drama and many again
presented themselves for the second
time to witness the remarkable pro-
duction. 1t will be some time before
the theater-goers of this city will
again have a chance to witness any
production of this order that can in
any way equal that of THE Holy
City," and those who witnessed the
play are to be congratulated To
those who are learned in biblical
history, the play was favorable
surprise and kept them interested
throughout the performance; to those
who were not familiar with the
theme, it served as an educative pur-
pose. The company leaves this
morning for Reno where they are
asked to reproduce their performance
tomorrow evening at the Wheel

TWO INCHES OF SNOW
FALL IN TONOPAH

The second chapter of the present
winter arrived in Tonopah yesterday
afternoon and was accompanied by a
couple inches of snow. The fall
started last evening and continued
for several hours, and as result
there is going to be considerable
trouble this morning when it comes
time for the head of the house to
crawl out of that nice warm bed
and cut kindling before he starts the
fire. Isn't it the truth?

COUNTY DIVISION
PETITION LOOKS
like BIG FRAUD

The Rhyolite Daily Bulletin is
urging that everybody in that vicin-
ity sign the petition asking for coun-
ty division, and from the reports re-
ceived everybody who even passes
through that city is asked to sub
scribe his signature. At the end
when this document is presented to
the legislature elf the day ever ar
rives) there is a possibility it will
resemble the petition signed up at
Pioneer when a resident of that
camp wanted the position of justice
of the peace. 1t is alleged he had
every person in the entire district
place his signature on the document
and even had transients who were
merely passing through the town to

DUE TO NEWBERRY.
Harmony in House and Senate on Ma
val Appropriation Bill.

Washington, Feb. 6.-It is estimat-
ed that the naval appropriation bill
will be reported to the senate on
Monday and that it will contain the
provisions adopted by the house for
the construction of two $4,000 ton
battleships and putting the marine
corps back on battleships.
The senate and house. are in sub
stantia1 agreement on both of these
propositions and therefore it appears
that the bill will be passed without
much debate, and that agreement in
conference will be comparatively easy.
The harmony prevailing between
the two branches of congress in re-
gard to practically every important
feature of the bill is said to be due
largely to the work of Secretary New
berry in appearing personally before
the two naval committees.
The secretary explained the bill in
great detail and impressed the mem
bers of the committee with his thor
ough knowledge of naval problems. In
both house great regret was expressed
that Mr.. Newberry is to leave the
navy department with beginning of
the new administrations

CAN'T GROW A LINCOLN.
President Wilson Says 1t Would Be
Nearly Impossible i'm New York

New York. Feb. 6.-It would be ex-
tremeIy difficult to nurture a man of
the Lincoln type in New York today,
according to President Woodrow Will
son of Princeton university. During
the course of an address before the
Alumni association of Williams college
DR.. Wilson said:
abraham Lincoln. if he had been
born in New York would have thought
New York, and I want to tell you men
who live in this city that if you want
another Abraham Lincoln you had bet
ter get out your long distance glasses.
I don't mean to say that because a
man is born here that he cannot be-
come a leader in the event of a great
national crisis, but if he does it will
be only by a supreme effort.

ment to the senate was introduced by
Mr.. Foraker after he learned that the
detectives used in work on the
Brownsville case had been paid from
the war deficiency fund. 1t is de-
clared by several senators who have
examined the treasury statement that
the information sent in shows that
the fund had been used as "a financial
junk shop 1t is asserted that the
statement shows that several
'junkets" were paid for from this
fund and that in certain instances
the fund was used to pay for the en-
tertainment of military visitors from
other countries.
Although a number or senator's are
disposed to make the document pub
lie, it is known that such action would
be opposed by others and even a mo-
ton to print the statement as a pub
lie document may be accompanied by
sharp and acrimonious debate.

IT'S EASY MONEY.
Gas Rebate Fund of $12 100000 Isl
Asked for Charity.

New York. Feb. 6.-Citizens of
New York who are to receive re-
bates from the Consolidated Gas COM
pany, which must distribute a fund of
nearly S12,000,000 which has been
held in trust pending litigation over
the so cent gas law, are asked to
contribute their remittances to
charity. An appeal to this effect has
been issued by the Charity Organiza-
ton society's committee on the pre-
vention of tuberculosis.
After pointing out that the money
in question is money that a. majority
of persons did not expect to receive
and therefore can readily do without,
the appeal concludes:
with a fund of a, sufficient size as
a foundation yielding a considerable
annual revenue, it will be possible in
a very few years to completely
eradicate this disease, saving thou
sands of lives to the city every year.

EXPLANATIONS MADE.
Regarding the Painting of the Trans
port Buffalo Leaden Gray.

Washington, Feb. 6.-To remove
what they regard as an unfortunate i'm
preston at this time, naval officials
have made informal statements re-
garding the published reports touching
the painting offthe transport Buffalo
leaden gray color and the prospec-
tive return of the torpedo fotilIa to
San Francisco. An official order was
produced showing that on November
g last directions were given authoriz-
ing the painting of the vessels of the
Pacific fleet slate color. a color
which has or is to be given all the
vessels of the American navy
The decision to do this with regard
to the ships of the navy was reached
long time ago. This is the first op-
portunity that has been offered for
painting the transport Buffalo. Re

cials say the vessels are going to Mare

SECRECY OPPOSED.
Senator's Want to Make Public Use
of War Deficiency Fund.

Washington. Feb 6.-President
Roosevelt's request that the reply of
the secretary of the treasury to the
Foraker resolution calling for an
itemized statement of expenditures
made from the war deficiency fund of
1899 be considered confidential. may
be ignored by the senate. Since the
document has been reposing in the
files of the committee on military
affairs it has been examined by
number of senators who say they are
not impressed with the importance of
concealing from the public the in
formation it contains.
The reason given by President
Roosevelt for the request that the in
formation should be kept an executive
matter was that the war fund had
been used to send military agents into
foreign countries to gather material
for the secret use of tnzs government.
While it is said that this is true in re-
gard to some expenditures, certain
senators have declared that the report
so hides the details connected with
such expenditures that the publication
of the report could not result in any
diplomatic estrangements with other
governments.
