18 RETAiB THQBPS
Represents to War Department
That Goldfidd Is in Need
of Protection.
MESSAGE MAY BE
SENT TO PRESIDENT
Administration Feels Special
Session of Nevada Legisla
ture Should Be Called.
WASHINGTON, Doc. 27. Senator
Newlands of Nevada is endeavoring to
prevonfc withdrawal of the Government
troops from Goldfield until some other
moans of protection is had. Today ho
called upon Secretary Tatt at the "War
department and strongly urged that
execution of tho order issned by the
Socretary for tho withdrawal of the
troops ne.xt Monday be sus'pended until
he has had an opportunity to comiuuni
caltj. with Governor Sparks and en
deavor to induce him to call the Ne
vada Legislature together. Secretary
Taft has beeu advising with Secretary
Ttoot on this subject, and it is probable
that the President will be communicat
ed with at Pino Knot. Thero is every
disposition to refrain from breaking in
upon his privacy at this time, and the
only excuso for doing so is found in the
fact that unless the original order is
modified tho troops must leave Gold
field next Monday morning, and before
the President returns to Washington.
Doubt as to Legal Bight.
Administration officials feel that the
present situation in tho matter of Gold
field's case can not be continued in
view of tho doubt that exists as to the
constitutional and legal right of tho
executive to employ any part of tho
regular army in Novada under present
conditions. Govornor Sparks 's atten
tion has been repeatedly called to tho
fact that this constitutional doubt
might bo removed by the simple do- j
vice of calling together the State Leg
islature, when that body could either
give its warrant to tho use of the l'ed- !
oral troops or provide by legislation for
raising a State force of some kind,
either militia or police, sufficient to in
sure the maintenance of peace aud the
observance of law in Goldfield. It is
believed that Senator Newlands 's ap
peal today is an indication of the wil
lingness of the Govornor to recall his
relusal to convene tho Legislature in
session, and if this belief iH well found
ed, the Government troops would proba
bly be retained at Goldfield1 until some
otnor arrangomcnts can bo made.
BOTH SIDES WAITING
TO HEAR FROM COURT
GOLDFIELD, Nov., Doc. 27. Both
sides of the labor controversy in Gold
field aro tonight anxiously" awaiting
word from Carson as to the result of
the attempt of tho mine owners to so
curc from the United States circuit
court an injunction against the members
of the Western Federation of Minors
and the Goldfield Miners' union pro
hibiting them from picketing the mines
and compelling them to cease meeting
or conducting the business of the uniou
in Goldfield.
The mine owners are hopefnl of the
success of the measure, while tho lead
ers in tho union are still maintaining
that they will fight any such injunc
tion if granted, to tho end. As yet
there has been 110 apparent effort made
by tho union or C. E. Mahoney on
behalf of tho Western Federation to
prevent the granting of tho injunction.
Tho sheriff has today sworn in about
150 more deputies who are compelled to
give bonds in the sum of $2500 and who
are to be ready for a call to duty at
any minute after the departure of tho
troopB. No more strikebreakers have
arrived.
EMPRESS OK RUSSIA
ILL; REPORTS CONFLICT
ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 27. No official
nnnouncomcnt was made today concern
ing tho condition of Empress Alexandria,
which leads to the presumption that
there have bocn no new alarming devel
opments In her ailment. For fiomo time
I lor Majesty ha3 beon suffering from a
slight attack of-influenza. Previously slio
had consulted a specialist and had sub
mitted to a aovurc ragimcn to reduce hor
weight, and her present affliction in
ascribed to this.
Information reaching Ihc AsEocialod
Preno from Taarskoo-Solo is to the effort
that the health of tho Empress Is ex
tremely bad and that shn is sUill conrined
to bed under tho care of Prof. Eugeno
Botkln. Tho effort of the physician to
promote recuperation hnve beon frustrat
ed by the depressing onVrt tho climatic
conditions there have upon the patient.
A recommendation Hint Her Majesty go
to the Riviera met with stern objection,
tin EmpresH being unwilling to listen to
a suggestion. Ur adoption of wblr.h would
mean separation from hor children. Eh
pnclally was Ibis true in the rase of tho

Is so anxious that she never permits him

MYSTERY OF WOMAN'S
MURDER YET UNSOLVED
NEW YORK. Dec. 27. The myatory
surrounding the circumstances of lh
murder of the unknown woman whoau
bodv was found nearly Hiibinergod In a
ponil on tlm outskirts of Harrison. N. J.,
appears no nearer solution tonight than
when tho body was discovered. Tho the
ory on which the detective aro now
working Is that (ho woman ramo to her
denth In Newark, and thai hor body
w;u? carried to tho lonely pond so that
Iho real scene of the crime and Ibo iden
tity of tho slayer might bo concealed.
The Newark police are tonight search
ing for Iho slayer, who Is believed to
have ml the young woman by appoint
' monl. in Newark, and thou lured her to
' her death. Evidence waa found lodny
that the woman was seen In Newark on
' C'hrinlmas we by William Snyder, a car
' punter, who staled, of tor seeing the body,
that the young woman had spslton to
him In Newark on iho night before
Christmas and usked him to bo directed
to a restaurant. He sold tho woman told

Government Alarmed by Agita
tion: Public Meetings in
Pekiu Suppressed.
PEKIN, Dec. 27. Tho Dowager Em
press has given verbal orders to. tho
Interior department and to the police
lo suppreas all public meetings in
Pckin, and there is reason to believe
that this order will be extended to tho
provinces.
Tho popular agitation along tho lines
of "rights recovery" is growing in a
phenomenal manner. Tho question of
provincial as against federal sover
eignty enters largely into tho matter.
Women's societies, schools for boys and
girls the family newspapers and tho
political press, all are participating in
tho agitatiou, and for a month past
tho government here has been receiv
ing telegrams in increasing numbers,
expressing tho strong dosiro of the
senders that the rights which have boon
alienated from them by foreigners be
restored to the f'hincBe.
Government Alarmed.
Tho movement has reached such mag
nitude that tho govornment is thorough
ly alarmed, and it is today ptriving to
(ill a conciliatory position between tho
revolutionary agitators and those who
consider themselves to be aggrieved.
Tho people of Chu Kiang province havo
sent some delegates licro to protect
l.hoir interests, Thcso dologatcs tho for
eign board has talcon into its confidenco,
opening its archives to them aud ask
ing them to nmko a careful examin
ation of tho position of the Chinese
Government, with regard to Great Brit
aiu and then to recommend a solution
of tho difficulty.
Toe reception accorded these civilian
delogatcs by tho. government, and the
admission of representatives of prov
incial councils into state affairs sit
Pnktn, is without, precedent aud Is be
lieved to constitute what can bo called
tho thin edgo of tho wedge which is
to give constitutional rights. Tt shows
aho the importance oJ tho agitation
whieh has boon going on in Co Kiang
province and which undoubtedly is tho
cause of tho recent edict by tho
throne.

RULINGS OF INTERSTATE
COMMERCE COMMISSION
WASHINGTON. Dec. 27. A number of
administrative rulings were issued today
by the Interstate Commerce commission.
Involving questions of importance affect
ing tho operation of the interstate com
I mcrce law. It Is held that employees of
produce companies must pay full faro in
traveling to points on the carriers' lines
where they expect to securo consignments
and become caretakers; that the limita
tion of the rates to shipments handled
by steam power as against those handled
by electric powor, is unlawful and must
be eliminated from the tariff.
Tho granting by carriers of commis
sions to persons acting as consignees on
Import merchandise Is a practice that
cannot be sanctioned.
Tho commission has no powor to re
lieve carrlcru from tho obligations of
tariffs providing for domurrago charges
on the ground that such charges have
been occasioned by a strike Whero tho
stock In one railroad, eompuny Is owned
by anothor railway company but both
maintain separate organizations and re
port separately to the commission, they
may not lawfully carry freight free for
each other.
When, after complaint made, and bc
foro hearing, a rate is reduced to tho
sum demanded by the complainant, the
order disposing of tho proceeding shall
require the maintenance of that rate as
a maximum for not Jess than two years.

Navy Department Will Try
Sell em e of 'Having Surgeon
Command Hospital Ship.
SENATOR HALE STANDS
WITH ADMIRAL BR0WNS.0N
Declares Government Might as
Well Turn Vessel Over to
a Chaplain.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27. The or
der assigning Surgeon Charles F.
Stokes to tho command of tho hospital
ship Polief arc expected io bo, signed
very soon, it having been definitely de
cided, according to Secretary Mctcnlf,
to appoint him to that position. With
this end in view, every effort will be
made to obtain a merchant crew and
master for the vessel. Failing to man
the Relief with a crew from' the mer
chant marino, the enlisted force of the
navy will bo drawn on and a line offi
cer assigned as captain, in which case
ho will have command.
While the ship is practically ready
for service, there are a number of
things to bo done to put her in the
best of shape, which will take probably
until the 1st of February. The' scheme
of having a medical officer command
the Relief, in the event that a mer
chant crow is secured, is to have a trial
for at least six months, and if the ex
periment proves satisfactory, then the
expectation ' is that the assignment
of a surgeon to command hospital ships
will be a permanent feature of naval
administration.
Brownson Loses Money.
Admiral Brownson 's relinquishment
of his pofcition as chief of the bureau
of navigation, carrying with it. as it
did, ex officio connection with the navul
general board, will result in a consid
erable loss of pay to the officer. Be
ing entirely without duty and relegated
to the retired list, his income will be I
diminished in tho first place by the loss
of 25 per cent of the full pay of an
admiral on the aetivo list namely,
$7500 a iear. Also ho will no longer
receive the allowance to an active offi
cer of his grade of $1500 a year for
(niartcrs aud $500 a j'oar for heat and
light. It so happens, however, that
Admiral Brownson is a mau of inde
pendent moans and able to disregard
financial conditions in taking his stajid
as champion of the lino in the present
battlo with the staff.
The formal order detaching Rear Ad
miral Brownson from duty as chief of
the bureau of navigation was made pub
lic today. Tho same order detaches him
from membership in the joint army and I
navy board.
Hale Praises Admiral.
Senator Hale, chairman of the Com
mittee on Naval Affairs, voiced frankly
his attitude toward tho resignation of
Admiral Brownson as chief of tho bu
reau of navigation.
"1 think tuat Admiral Brownson has
acted with praiseworthy courage and
promptness in tendering his resigna
tion," said Senator Hale, adding that
he had seen tho admiral since his resig
nation. Mr. nalo continued:
"T have always sustained the staff
officers in their tight for positive rank
and complete recognition such as aro
received by their peers in the army,
and 1 now have a bill ponding which
gives thoni such recognition through
out the service. But in that measure
there is u precautionary provision
against giving them actual command of
any naval vessel. This is the contin
uance and extension of the fight be
tween the branches of the service. That
light is the crux of tho present contro
versy, and bee.iuso I think ho is right,
mv support is given unreservedly to the
admiral as against the conteniions of
Surgeon-General Rixey. Tt may be that
on some occasions staff officers havo
been in command of vcssols, but I. know
of no instance whon such officers have
been given command after the point
was raised and both sides wero heard.
I don't believe thai tho contention for
command liy stall' officers has ever been
pressed senousb in the past.
Says Reasons Aro Plain.
When asked for his reasons for the
position takon, Senator Hale replied: 1
"They aro entirely in the interests of
discipline. Think what might happen
if tho comniaud of the vessels should
bo turned over lo a chaplain, or even
lo a paymaster. And it is just as rea
sonable to put the crows of n naval
fleet under the charge of those officers
as it is to place them under tho com
mand of a surgeon.
lividontly Admiral Brownson rec
ognizes this fact, and. being a man of
character and decision, ho did not hesi
tate to resign his position when, as the
active head of navigation, his view of
tho law anil of the best policy in tho
iuterest of tho service was overruled.
He will not lose anything by his manly
course,( either in tlie navy or with the
public. ' '

Tho fog was so thick that the en- B?'
gineers of the two trains were running S8 S
cautiously and just outside tho station a' 8
the Atlantic City traiu was signalled to I H
stop. Tho engineer of the Pembertou niiHi
train failed to see the Atlantic City n ml
train in time to avoid a collision, but bj 1
instantly jammed his brakes down hard I jflm
when he saw tho train through the fog, fifl
The sudden jolt forced the tender of tho : fiw
Pcmberton traiu into the first car, I SM
wrecking it bndly and either killing or J fflBj
injuring everybody in the coach. The ; aifll
train, howeve'r, did not como to a full Hffl
stop, but slipped into the rear of tho QjB
Atlantic City express, causing the tend- J flBi
cr to still further telescope the first car. 1 QH
