the report calls attention TO The fact
that 700 are detailed to special duty,
nearly half of these, or 345, being dis
tributed among the various schools
CT instruction of tie regular estab-
lisnnent or acting instructors in
state educational institutions where
a feature is made of military training.
While there Were no serious breaches
of military discipline during the year,
Secretary Dickinson declares That
there can be no doubt that the dis
cipline and efficiency of troops Were
lowered by the continued absence of
so many company officers and the re-
suitins frequent chhnges of CONG
pany commanders.
The remedy for this condition, the
report dec lares, may be found in in
creasing the number of officers and
in the passage of legislation empow
ering the Secretary of War. when
ever the occasion demanded to ap-
point retired officers to active duty
temporarily. Under existing law a
retired officer cannot be made subject
TO orders, but his return TO active ser
vice is entirely voluntary. In putting
forward the need for some such au-
thorization, Secty. Dickinson says:
While il is true that the duties
performed by these officers are in the
main, OI great linpOT'ld0cc 10 lne ar
my o. of material benefit TO the coun-
try, the number of officers so separat-
ed from their regular duties with
troops, has now reached a point
where II is beyond question that the
efficiency and discipline of the army
are suffering thererrom. On June 80,
1909, Tore than a third of the cap
tains of the Mobile army were abb
| sent from their proper commands on
| detached service, of sucn a nature as
| to cause them to be absent for some
time. Including those captains who

proper commands, on detached SER
vice oI otherwise, II is believed that

of Mobile army were commanded by
captains"
The report also advocates cnore
| strenuous physical tests. President
Rooevelt dnaugurated an annual test

! officers, compelling them to ride nine
/ ~ miles In three days o to walk fif
! ty miles within the same time. This
in the opinion of Secretary Dickinson
should be changed so as to compel
officers to under take a certain
amount of prescribed exercise each

the commanding officers in their

LaFoiIette Opens Campaign.

Milwaukee, Wis, Dec. 2.-The pro-
sresslves of Wisconsin have deter
mined upon a positive course for
determined fight in the senatorial
campaign wnich begins here in earn
est today under the leadership of
Senator LaFollette, assisted by Unit
ed States Senator Moses e. Clapp,
of Minnesota.
Senator Clapp is known as one of
the fgh ting Prograssives of the Sen
ate and is one of the best rough and
tumble debaters in either house. He
is the man who gave one of the finest
tributes ever paid to Senator LaFoI-
lette when ne called attention to his
record in the senate in his speech be-
fore that body on March 3.
"Thc speech or senator Clapp will
be particularly timely said Francis
r. McGovern, because 1t will serve as
an antidote to the recent speech of
Mr.. Aldrich. The subject of the ad-
dress of Senator Clapp will be THE
Progressive Movement in Congress-"
and delegations have come from ma
ny places in Wisconsin to hear it,"

BIG STRIKE
is WORSE

st. Paul, Mimi, Dec. 2.-The rail
roads affected by the switchEnens'
strike began the first real attempt to-
day To restore normal traffic condi-
tions between the Great Lakes and
The Pacific Coast. Local warehouses
were open today and the roads ac-
ceptei limited freight. There was
nowavei, no noticeable improvement
in conditions in the Twin Cities.
This morning in Minneapolis all the
big fJuf mills were shut down, throw
ing five thousand out of employment.
At the head of the lakes, in Duluth
and Superior, unless conditions i'm
prove Immediately all the range cit
les will be in danger of food and
coal famine. The jobbing houses in
Dulu n nave already begun laying off
men.
In Montana the conditions are even
worse. The big Boston and Montana
smelser at Great Falls is practically
CLOSED. As this smelter hakes the
ores of the amalgamated properties
at Butte those mines will be affected
throwing thousands out of employ
nent.
In the Pacific Northwest freight
shipments are locally tied up altho
an attempt is being made to move
two trains on the Northern Pacific.
THESE trains We're made up by as

yious the action of the House of

ed the King had accepted the advice
of the government TO dissolve parlia-

so that the militia may be conven-
iently combined with the regular
troops stationed in those districts in
to permanent brigades, divisions and
corps for intruction and tactical or

In conjunction with the headquar-
tiers OF these combination divisions,

AN UlTIMATUM IS
SENT TO NICARAGUA

Washington, Dec. 2.-The first step
of the United States towards backing
up the declaration of Secretary Knox
rega -.ling the Nicaraguan trouble was
taken today wnen the Secretary of
the Navy sent urgent orders to the
commanders of the Cruiser Albany
and the gunboat Yorktown. now at
Magdalena Bay on the coast of low
eT California, to proceed forthwith to
Corinto. a coast port of Nicaragua.
Washington. Dec. 2.-An ultimatum
was given yesterday afternoon by the
United States to the Nicaragual gov
ernment and was accompanied by
the delivery of passports by Secretary
of State Knox to L. Felipe Rodri-
guez. charge de affairs of the Nicara-
guam legation. This mas caused great
rejoicing among the sympathiZers Of
the Nicaraguan insurrectionists.
The strength of the note and its
personal tone are the subjects OF
co7nme nj in diplomatic circles. 1t is
generally recognized that the United
States has decided the time has come
TO put an end TO any further attacks
on American lives and interests in
Central America. The fact that Presi
dent Zelaya is apparently to be held
personally responsible for the shoot
ing of Groce and Cannon adds sting
to the matter.
Concealed in the vigorous note of
Secretary Knox is seen a warning to
the Central American republics that
they must behave and that the Unit
ed States intends TO see to il that the
family of the western republics lives
tremendously.
KNOWS document is one of the most
scathinP issued from the State De-
partmen: in years and is believed by
diplomats to be epochal.
The newspaper men who visited the
.Sica-aguan legation last night Were
not permitted to doubt that Secreta-
rv Knox's ultimatum had fallen upon
the complacency of Senior Rodriguez
with p;ofound effect. Senior Rodriguez
met the visitors at the door and his
protestations of amaZenent at the ac-
tion of the State Department were
English and Spanish to tne accompani-
ment of sounds floating down the
stairway, which indicated that the
Nicaraeuans on the floor above We're
eldelvoring to forget all internation-
al complications.
Rear Admiral William w. Kimball
left Washington today for Philadei-
phia 10 take passage on the Prairie.
II is believed he will take com mani
OF the naval forces operating against
Nicaragua. He will probably proceed
TO Corinto.

marines on board for Panama and
possibly Tor service in Nicaragua. re-
ceived orders to sail from Philadel
phia this afternoon.

REPORT OF
SEC. OF WAR

Washington. Dec. 1.-Comprelen-
sive and complete reorganization of
the army establishment of the United
states is the principal recommends
ton contained in the annual report
of Secretary of War Dickinson fer the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1909, made
prblic today. More officers, closer CO.
operation with the militia of the va
r:~uS states and a general readjust-
msnt of the locations of the various
army posts are some of the crying
reforms urged upon the attention of
Congress. The present distribution
OF the troops of the regular army, in
the opinion of the Secretary of War,
is not only illogical but offers a SER
ious menance.
At the time of the lact reports
frcn the military departments which
were received in October, 1t was found
taat the regular army numbered
II $40 men with 4,209 officers, making
a total force of 76,049, a net increase
during the year of 3,421. The figures
do not include the 3,iS5 men of the
Hospital Corps

ing for from $4,000 to 100000, but
this did not include the furnishings.
This could be built of REINFORCED con-
crete, stone, or brick of any kind

plans call for a building of the Ital
ian Renaissance style instead of the
Spanish Mission, as stated yesterday.
Horsford & Nelson offered to give

KING EDWARD DIS
SOLVES PARLIAMENT

Londcn, Dec. 2.-The House OF
Commons by a vote of 349 to 134 to-
day adopted the resolution of Pre-
mier Asquith to the effect that in re-
jectilg the governments budget bill
the House of Lords had committed a
breach of the constitution and usurp-
ed the rights of the House of Com
mons.
London, Eng, Dec. 2.-Prenier AS
quith announced in the House OF
Commons today that the government
had advised King Edward to dissolve
parliament and His Majesty had ac-
ceptea the invitation. The Premier
added that il the Liberals were re-
;urned to power the first act of the
government would be the reenact-
ment of all taxes for which provision
We're made in the budget rejected by
the House of Lords.
All the preli.ninaries to the big po-
litical fight We're cleared away this
afternoon at Sandringham where
King Edward had a meeting with the
privy council, during which ne sign
ed an order proroguing parliament
until January tenth. 1910. This Is a
mere fcrmality as the present house
will have been dissolved before that
time.
The center of interest today is in
the House of Commons where Pre-
mier Asquith on behalf of the govern
ment replied TO the action OF the
Lords in withholding their consent
to the budget.
Asquith, when ne arose to speak,
was given a wild demonstration. He
said the budget represented the de-

NEW SKETCH OF NEW,
FIRST NATL BUILDING.

Upon his arrival in roswell few
days ago, I. III. Rapp brought a new
sketch of the new building that Is to
be erected by the First National bank
on the present site of that institution.
Mr.. RaDp was selected as architect
for tiIis job about six months ago and
had offered one preliminary sketch
showing a building covering only a
part or the lot. The present plan calls

a two-story beauty. The detailed plans
for the new building have not been
completed. The preliminary sketch Is
