DEs MOINEs, Ia., July 9.-COL George
 L Godfrey. member of the Utah coa.-
 mission. returned from the west las
 evening, and in an interview he outlined
 what, in his opinion, would be the uln-
 mate effect of Edmrnd's bill, in accou
 plishing the purpose for which it vas. intended. 'There are l6OOOO people in
 Utah to-day" said Col Godfrey, "of
 which 10000 are Mormons, and ooN 15,DOO Mormons are polygamists. The operation of the Edmunds' bill is con fined solely to those who practice polygamy. A professor o' the Mormon rel zion with only one wife does not cone within the scope of the law. The work of the commission has been con- fined to disfranchising polygamists.~

 WASHINGTON, July 10.-The original plan agreed upon last Saturday for the safe keeping of the Apache captives appears to have been generally misuu- derstood. It was not the proposition to place the police control oftheSan Carlos reservation in the hands of the war de- partment, was made by Secretary Teller, nor by the Secretary of war Tn cOnversa- tIon to-day Secretary Teller said there was no occasion for the report, tbat if the arrangement agreed upon proves successful, the control of all the Indian agencies will eventually be transferred to the war department. He denies any such course as contemplated. He says the principal occasion for placing CrOoks captives under the supervision of the war department, IS because that tie department has money to keep them while the department Of the Interior has none. The San Carlos agency, the Secretary says, will be maintained as heretofore. except, the military will have entire charge of police sentnels.

TIE proposition of placing a border patrol along the line between Mexico and the United States, to which refer ence was made in yesterdays CITIZEN, is one of great importance to both coun- tries, and If there Is any way by which such patrol can be placed upon the hne, arrangements should be made to do so at the earliest possible moment. While there has not been much stealing back and forth, during the past two or three months, owing to the fact that the Apa- ches have somewhat interfered with this class of operators, yet they are liable to begin at any time. In the consultation held in Santa Fe, between the govern ors of Arizona and New Mexico, they did not make known to the public how the thing could be brought about, but enough was disclosed to cause HIS to hope that something will be done. The losses of cattle, from Mexican and Amer ican thieves, who have operated along the line during the past five years, will foot up many thousands of dollars; thieving can never be put down save by the united and determined efforts of both countries. We trust that this question, which IS of such vital importance to the ranchmen along the line, will not be lost slght of, and that such arrangements may be speedily made as will put an end to this class of rascality.

MR. SARTORIs, who will be remember ed as the Englishman who married Nel- lie Grant some years ago, has got into a sCrape, from which We imagine he would be glad to get out Of, not for himself. but the scandal it will bring to his home, and consequently that of General Grant. It appears that MT. Sartoris has been spending sometime in Milwaukee, and while there, or 1t may be at some
 lme prior to his soiourn in that city, he became acquainted with 6 woman whose true name has not yet been determined, but IS believed to be Blanch Melbourp, lately Of St. Louis, and the daughter Of Major MelJourn, and cousin of George Alfred Townsend. Both Mir. Sartoris and the woman seem anxious to hnsh up the scandal. but the newspapers are leaving DO stone unturned to bring everything out, and they seem to be succeeding admirably. Miss Melbourn Is represented to be a smart fascinating. stylish and brilliant woman, who has had many love scrapes. There is no doubt but Mir. Sartoris thought he would have a nice quiet time 'in the city of bHcks' with his rew fance, but he hardly dreamed of the notoriety he was bringing upon himself. The Grant family will feel the disgrace even more than the Englishman, and the outcome Of the affair may result ID a seperation. Nelhe Grant will doubtless receive the simpa.hy of many Americans, but after al she Is no longer one of our country women, having renounced her native land and passed by hundreds of worthy young Americans who would only have been too glad to have made her happy in the land that had honored her father and brother. She cast her lot among strangers rather than among her own people; she threw herself away upon a foreigner who had but little to recom- mend him either in his own or this country; she made her bed, and she must lie in 1t.

GEN. CROOK TO HAVE THE ApAcHEs.

The Secretary of War and the Secre-
 tary of the Interior have come to an un-
 derstanding as to the final disposition of
 the renegade Chiricahuas. They are to
 be put on the San Carlos reservation at
 some point remote from other Indians,
 and under the control of General Crook,
 who becomes responsible for their &C.,
 tions and safe keeping, as well as for
 those which may hereafter be captured,
 or who may surrender to hlm.
 While the CITIZEN is opposed to plac- Ing the renegades on the reservation, the
 arrangement reported as being made, is far preferable to that first advocated by General Crook, which was to place them with the peaceable Indians and under the control of the San Carlos agency. We believe the citizens of Arizona will feel much safer with the renegades un- der General Crook than if they had been placed with the other Indians and under the Indian department. We have con- hdence in Secretary Teller, and We be- heve he has acted wisely in refusing to take charge of the renegades. There has long been desire on the part of the military to secure the control of all the Indians, and the placing of the Chirca- huas under the military may prove the wedge to open up that question again If General Crook should be sue cessful Tn controlling the Chiricahus and further raids in Arizona, he l will have scored a strong point in favor of transferring the management of the | Indians from the Interior to the War and for this reason, if no | other existed, General Crook will exert | himself to the utmost to keep them on | the reservation and prevent further | raids. In vlew of the complications ex- l>ting in relation to disposing of the Chlrlcahuas, the arrangement decided | upon Is perhaps the best which, under | the circumstances. could have been | made. We trust that General Crook I will now exert himself to secure the remainder of the able-bodied bucks who are yet on the warpath in Sonora. and place them with the rest of the rem egades. Having already pledged him. self not only to "bring the renegades n, but he would stake his reputation to keeping them on the reservation. he will have the opportunity offered to make his words good and now that the sffort is to be made We trust that the people of Arizona will render him every in their power to help him Hong with his difficult duties.

WORK BEGUN ON THE NARROW GAUGE.


 Active work has begun on the Mar row gauge railroad from this place north. The delay of beginning work was owing to the failure Of the com pany to secure right of way on fair terms and lands for a depot, round- house and mschine-shop purposes. The company complain of the high price e1acted by some property owners for right of way, claiming that in some instances they demanded exhorbitant sums for mese land without water and with no prospects of ever getting water upon it, and as the land produces noth- ing, 1t is worth little or nothing. But the company have at last overcome these difficulties in one way or another, and, notwithstanding the warm weather, the grading of the road will go on, and as soon as the weather becomes little cooler, will be pushed. We are in hopes that the sound of the narrow gauge whistle will echo in the valley of the San Pedro by the close of the present year.

Now THAT General Crook has the con- trol of the renegade Apaches, We trust he will see the wisdom of transferring his headquarters from Whipple to either Camp Thomas, Fort Grant Fort Hua- chUca or Bowie, that he mss at all times be near the work in hand. There Is no reason or sense in longer maintaining headquarters at Prescott, which is hun- dreds of miles from the place where he is needed. Had he of been located at either of the points above named when the last raid was made through southern Arizona and New Mexico, he might have saved the lives of number of citizens who were murdered on that occasion, and possibly destroyed the renegades.

TIE tertio-millenial anniversary at Santa Fe opened with fair prospects,, but since the opening day the crowd has somewhat thinned out. Indian displays enter quite largely into the programme. The Laguna Indian guards were on hand, and Frank Cushing is rhere with his Zunis. But it will be hard for so sparsely settled a country as New Mexi- co to get up much of boom on the present occasion. Yet, after all, those who do attend will be better provided for, and will enjoy themselves better than if a great crowd was in attendance. The summer climate of Santa Fe IS ad- mirable, and Arizonans who desire a change and little recreation can do no better than to attend the tertio and breathe the cool air of Santa Fe and see what cur neighbors have on exhibition.

THE cholera seems to be spreading in Egypt, and fears are entertained of its extending into Europe, and once it reaches that country 1t will not be long before it finds its way across the Allan tic. Had this dreaded disease made its appearance earlier in the season it would, without doubt, have reached the United States but appearing so late in the season, it is not likely, even if it should reach us, that it will assume an epidemic form, or that it would long continue, as but short season remains in which to do its deadly work.

WE understand that another mining company which is operating in Pima county is in trouble similar to that re- ported of the Gunsight company, last week. This time. it IS in the Silver Bell district, and the Young American group of mines of which c. H. Lord IS super intendent. Whether the fault is with the superintendent or the company we are not advised. It is most unfortunate for the mining interests of Arizona that such things should occur.

NOT MUCH REFoRMERs.

Dennis hearney IS in Chicago. He informed a Times reporter that be was not much Of an admirer of the men in California who are agitating a lower rate of freight and fares on railroads. He SAYS "the agitation against the railroads IS organized by about a dozen men, who Are r1onopolists themselves. They want lower freiGhts and reduced fares, and say they must have them because the rorkingmen need them" Reducing fraishts and fares,' says Dennis Kear- nzy. don't benefit the worker a bit. It's the middlemen who do the travelling snd ship the goods, and when the rail- roads have to cut down their rates they cut down the wages of their employees. George Hearst, who wants to go to Con- gress. Gen. Naglee and J. B. Haggin are the head ones in getting the agita- ton for cheap freights and reduced fares Naglee and Hagen are land n uopolists, and Naglee employs 25O Chinamen. and Hagen and Hearst are DO better" Dennis Kearney don't think much of these new agitators, and gives IS to understand they are themselves mouopolists and demagogues who seek to carry the state of California, not in the interest of reform, but for them selves. Hearst would like to go to the United States senate; others want to be governors and members of congress, hence their zeal in the interest of the 4wage-workers." MT. Kearney says the condition of the laboring classes in California IS better than ever before and that country is enjoying more prosperity since the exclusion of the Chinese than 1t ever had. Hearst S Co. may carry inc party vote, but Dennis Kearney and a large portion of the laboring classes will not be deceived by such gauzy promises, but will vote for men they know are true to the interests of the -waEe-workers."

WE would suggest to Secretary Teller that as soon as General Crook gets his forces placed, that it would be a good time to dissrm the Indians on San Carlos reservation. This be promised to do more than year ago. We ask that he now fulfill that promise and make his words good. lake all arms and ammunition from them, and then hang the first man that sells or offers to sell arms and ammunition to Indians. All Indians should be disarmed ii it is the purpose of the government to civil ize them. Give them plantation hoes instead and see that they use them, then they will not feel so frisky and so ready to go scalping white men, women and children with every change of the season.

OUR WEEKLY MINING REVIEW.
Activity in the Northern Part of the Ter ritory-Fair Progress Being Made
 All Around

There seems to be much more activity in the northern districts than for some tune past; number of sales of copper and silver mines have been made during the past month or two, and, taking it all together, the outlook in that section is more promising than it has been for years. The e'Peck mine, which has been tied up by litigation for several years past will ere long fall into line as a bull lion producer. The new hoistIng works are now Tn place, and we shall expect good news from the Peck before long.
 Owing to the extraordinary amount of dead work being done at Tombstone, the mines of that district will not turn out as much bullion as they did for the corresponding period last year, but when We take into consideration the nature and extent of the work now going on, the wonder is that they yield as much as they do.
 Owing to the great disadvantages Globe district has to labor under, in being SO far from her base of supplies, there IS not much activity in copper inning just now, though the silver mines are being worked as usual, and steady improvement IS noticed in most of the mines which are being worked or developed.
 In Mohave county there is a steady increase in the number of mines worked and number of good prospects nave been discovered of late, some of which will be developed at an early date.
 Considerable prospecting has been done on Eagle creek and Blue river, in Apache county during the past month, with fair results.
 Prospecting Is more active in Pima county than it has been for some time, and considerable development work has been done in Gro Blanco district and on the north slope of the Santa Ritas, near the Omega copper mines, with rather promising results.
