their gums badly. while the fire from the
English fleet was destructive during the
d.v. The first days bombardment stopped
at 6 40 p m, with no signs Of surrender
from the Arabs. Forty were wounded on
hoard Of the English ships. None killed.
The second days bombardment Of Alex.
andria commenced on Wednesday morning
and lasted until noon, when = steamer,
bearing q flag Of truce, approached the
British feet and the firing from the men.of-
war ceased. The 8o.ton guns Of the En-
plish were terribly destructive. The loss
Of the Egyptians must have been dreadful
The Britisi, loss was light The electric
broadsides of the lnfexible and the lnvtnc'
ib,e were effective in demolishing the Arat
forts. After the forts stopped firing the
mrn.of: war continued shelling the fostifi'
cations.

that the city was still In flames from tne
bomhardmsnt. The dispatch says: "Ihe

The temperance triumph in Iowa Is a
notice to the German political bosses, who
have by turns run both great parties In the
United States, that their reign Is drawing
a close. There are other interests besides
beer.Ruxzling and whisky y.drinking ~htch
the people are determined shall come to
the front. no matter who stands In the way.
This temperance triumph. in great central
state OF the Northwest, In spite of the fact
that the liquor interest appealed to the
farmer to protect It as "the most important
and profitable industry in the United
States" Is the deadliest blow that has eve.
vet been inflicted upon one Of the most
deadly societary evils. That the liquor IN, n,
terest had the passive or active support o.
the leading organs Of both political PARTIES .:.'
Is a fact that tends to make its defeat still
more important and vet more indicative
Of what the future Of the great temper

forth.

Internal Revenue Collections.

During the past six years the Internal
Revenue Department OF the United States
has collected nearly $500, ,ooo 900, at an an.
nual expense of about $I,sooooo. It Ia
erroneously supposed by many that a very
large proportion Of the internrl revenue
collected Ia consumed in paving the salaries
Of collectors, etc. AS matter of fact there
are exactly 3Io7 persons In the Internal
Revenue service, vice and i.,is mach to thei,
credit that during the past six years moi
one cent has been lost to the Government
by defalcation. Montana, population con-
sidered, stands first II the list Of Ter
ritovies in the returtts Of the amount
Of internal revenue collected which
shows that our wide.awake collector
Capt. Fuller, Is watchful Of the trust coli
fided to his case.

The Earp Party Arrest Des-
 peradO from Texas
And Turn Him Over to Detective
 Jack Duncan.

The following telegram which was pub lished in the EpITAPH on Wednesday, March 29h. elicted considerable com ment in detective circles, and the knowing ones have kept thelr weather eye open looking for that $2,500 reward for Frank Jackson:
 DALLAS, Tex, March go. - Detective Jack Duncan left today for Arizona, to secure Frank Jackson, the most desperate member of Sam Bass gang of train rob bcas. Jackson has been at large since his fight at Round Rock in 1878, in which Sam Bass, Seth Barnes and others were killed. Positive information has been re- ceived that Jackson has been lurking be. tween Las Vegas. Tucson, Tombstone and Prescott since November at the head of d gang of deperadOes. There is standing reward of $2,j00 for the arrest of Jackson.
 CAPTURED AND TURNED OVER.
 From reliable gentleman, a reporter on this paper learned this morning that on Monday last the Earp party arrested a m,.n that answers to the description of Frank Jackson, and turned him over to detective Jack Duncan at San simon sta tion, and that Duncan, who was satisfied with the prisoners identity, took him aboard the train and started for Texas that night. It appears from what could be learned that Wyatt Earp had been in cor respondence with the
 TEXAS DETECTIVES
 for several months about this man Jack son and other Texas criminals, and had been notified 10 expect their advent into southeastern Arizona sooner or later, from the. fact that they were SO hard pressed by the law officers and detectives of Texas and New Mexico that they must surrender or else seek this country for shelter. In the party's wanderings they came upon this man, who answering the description of Jackson, they cultivated his acquaintance until Duncan was notified and arrived when he was arrested and turned over and shipped east. It IS said they have trace of several other notorious men whom they will turn over to the authorities when the tune arrives

After the chase was over they took look to the west of the house and found q sack within which was fifteen chickens and hens with their necks broken, but still warm, showing that this sneak thief had been at work in the western part of the city.
