FIRST DISPATCH.


London
FIRST DISPATCH.
There is no let-up in the excitement this
morning. The streets are throngsa in front
of all newspaper offices by crowds Of excited
men anxions to learn the latest develop
ments with regard to the Anglo Russian dis
pute. The situation up to noon was without
change, and no news tending to improve or
further involve the situation had been re-
ceived.
The feeling in financial and speculative
circles is slightly feverish, and there is but
little desire to trade. On the stock exchange
the dealings are, as rule, In small lots, and
quotations are easier.
The Globe declares that Earl Granville,
ON the 10th inst, proposed to Russia that
both the Russians and Afghans should with
draw from that portion of territory at
present subject to dispute and remain out
side it during the continuance of nego-
natlons then in progress at London
To this proposal Russia sent no reply until
last Wednesday. She refused to accede to
England's proposition on the ground that the
withdrawal of her troops would be source
Of humiliation to Russia. After this an
swer was received the cabinet decided TO en-
body the reserves and militia and send the
ultimatum already referred to.
SECOND DISPATCH.
A special edition of The Globs, just out,
has caused the most intense excitement
throughout the city. The Globe say, that it
has positive information that Russia has re
fused to acceie to Eagland's request for a
m utual withdrawal of troops from the dis
puted territory in Afghanistan. The Globe
in the same authorative tone further state +,
in consequence OF this refusal, LoIi Gran
vile, minister for foreign affairs has sent an
ultimatum to Rus ia AMI has demanded that
he shall receive an answer thereto, no later
than Monday next The Globe has on pre-
vious occasions succeeded in publishing re-
liable advance news, and many are inclined
to accept its present statements in their en-
tirety. Should they prove true, it is diff
cult to imagine how a complete rupture and
a subsequent speedy declaration of war can
be averted.
In tue house Of lords this evening, Lord
Granville, replying to the marquis of Sails
bury, said there was nothing indicating a
tendency to finch on the part of the govern
ment regarding the Afghan question, The
government was firmly adhering to the poi
icy agreed upon by both of the great polit-
ical parties, while ct the same time they
were availing themselves of every means tc
arrive at Il satisfactory solution of the diff

Mr Sa1ish,,ru nf Ran,

1 MT. Salisbury of Benson made tn,
 HERALD office a pleasant call thi
 morning. He is in very great ear
 nest in the matter of building rail
 road into this valley from the south
 being interested at Wickenburg ir
 the concentrating business, and in {
 lead mine at Seymour, and desires to have some assii tance from the
 county. He informs us that he is able to make satisfactory arrange
 ments with the Southern Pacific people whereby he can haul every
 thing out of the valley that our farmers wish to dispose of. For some time back MT. Salisbury has
 had an engineer going over the va
 rious routes between this place and
 harlcopa and will select a route
 free from the mountain washes, over a level country and will cross the rivers at such points as present the least difficulties.
 Those who have tried onions say that they are an excellent preventive
 to cholera. When fed a few onions daily, pigs kept in the neighborhood have escaped the disease. Ii they are found so beneficial, farmers ought to grow them abundantly to mix with the food of their swine. As for myself, have no occasion to try them, having kept my swine in dry, warm places in winter and a large pasture in summer, giving them light food and of considerable vsrietY-feeding very little corn, ex- cept three or four weeks betere slaughiering. Poultry in winter or when confined to small yards in summer, are fond of onions chopped fine and mixed with other food. Thus fed, they are seldom attacked with cholera.-Er.
 The work of grading the road to the liver is progressing rapidly and Neither rain nor overflow can again make it impass> able nor could seriously affect it if | pipes were laid for the passage of | waste water under the ditches that cross the road at right angles. It is . matter of reorganization. If the farmers living along the varions .oads leading out of Phoenix would pend day or two in unlted effort o grade their roads, it could be &C., easily and would be a treat convenience. There are plenty if scrapers, plenty of strong horses, 'lenty of willing hands that would ather graie the road once than to 7orry their teams by driving, year fter year, through mud or over ough roads.

The Futile Washer.

Mir. H. H. Futile, of this place, has invented 8 washing machine, which for some time has been adver, tfsed in these columns and has been on trlal among our citizens. On inquiry of those who have used the machine, we are assured that it is all that is claimed for it saving clothes, making the labor of washing the work of . child; this should be recommendation enough for any machine. It is substantially built of galvanized iron and will last for years and would actually be cheap at double the price asked for it.

Cheap Electricity.
New York Evening Post.

New York Evening Post.
 A reporter of the Evening Post asked MT. Edison what progress he was making toward obtaining elec- tricity direct from the combustion of coal instead of having to get it by first producing heat, then by heat steam power, and finally electricity from the steam power. The cons bustion of zinc in Q battery is one instance of the utilization of com- bustion in the shape of electricity, instead of in the shape of heat, as when coal is burned. The zinc Tn the battery is as completly burned up in the battery as is the coal in the furnace; in one case electricity is obtained, in the other heat. MT. Edison confessed that he could not yet see the end of the search he is engaged in.
 "Some day someone will get it," said he, land do the world the great est material service yet rendered unto man. We now get from coal about one-hundredth pars of the real power we ought to get. The great secret of doing away with the inter- mediary furnaces, boilers, steam en- g1nes and dynamos, will be found probably within ten years. I have been working away at it for some months and have got to the point where an apparently insurmount- able obstacle confronts me. Work ing at the problem now seems to me very much like driving a ship straight for the face Ot precIpice, and when you come to grief picking yourself up and trying it again to- morrow. There is an opening in the barrier somewhere, and some lucky man will find It. 1 have got far enough to know that the thing is possible. 1 can get quite a current now directly from the combustion of fuel. Jablochkoff tried his hand at the same thing, some years ago, and so did some Germans, but the res suits were laboratory curiosities o-ly. I give myself i've years to work at it and shal; consider myself lucky if succeed in that time.
 "The uuscientific world has no conception of what such a discovery would mean. It would put an end to boilers and steam engines; It would make power about one-tenth as cheap as now; it would would enable a steamship to cross the At. lantic at a nominal cost; it would enable every IOor man to run his own carriage. It would revolution ize the industrial world. The elecs tric motor is the ideal motor for all kinds of work. What we want is some means of producing the current cheaply. Now it costs ten times as much as 1t ought to. When we dis- cover the short cut from the combus- tion of coal directly to electricity we can heat and light houses, do all the cooking, move all kinds of machine cry, vehicles and hoats-do all the worlds work, in fact, for almost nothing, compared with what it now costs us. There is a good time com. inK fer somebody"

Questions from the East

Here arc some of the questions fired at us weekly, almost daily, from the east:
 "What is the rate of taxation in your county, and what is the basis of assessment? That is, is property as, sessed at it's true value, or at ohe- third or one-half?
 Is there as much credit business done as here, and are the people as badly in debt there as here witL us
 Do your people raise any wheat
 How does the price of dry goods, groceries, boots and shoes, etc., conn pare with prices here?
 Please inform me what nationality your people generally are. sup pose you have a great many foreign CTS with you.

TUTTLE'S New Steam Washer
TAKES THE LEAD.

AXES HE LEAD.
 1. It will do an ordinary wash ing in an hour, WITH EASY LA BOR, that would require all day to accomplish by hand Jr other so- called washing machines WITH HARD LABOR. | 2. Its operation is so easy that a child ten years of age can do the washing.
 3. It cleanses the finest laces. cambrics and embroideries, also the Heaviest blankets, quits and spreads without injury.
 4. It cleanses any article of wearing apparel perfectly; also calicoes and ginghams without ex- tracting the color, and woolen goods and blankets without shrinking them.
 5. washes, steams and bleaches the articles at the same time.
 6. It saves labor, time, clothes, soap, mendin, and last but not least, health and life.
 2. It is sufficiently large for any family, hotel, or laundry, as it holds IF shirts or 40 or 50 ordinary pieces, or 2 blankets, or 2 quilts, or a large size tub full of assorted clothes.
 s. It is made entirely of metal and very simple; consequently it cannot get out of order, and with ordinary care will last ten years.
 g. It does away with the use of the back-breaking wash-board, also patent soaps, washing powers or fluids, which contain chemicals, that invariably rot the clothes, and are also an injury to health, though seemingly do good work,
 10. It will pay for itself in Q Tutrle Washer will last twice as long as if washed by the back breaking wash-board, or other so- called washing machine.
 It is adapted for Restaurants, Ho-- tels, Private and Public Institutions, and especially FAMILIES. It is constructed of metal; hence durable, and will last lifetime if used. Ladies who have used it say it should be called The Health and Life -PreserUing MG chine" The Medical Faculty pro- nounce the machine powerful dis leaving the clothes pure as when new. Scientists say it is invention. Chemists and Bleachers pronounce it the most eff fectual process of removing dirt and matter from fabrics ever known.
 We are fully aware of the preju- 1ices existing against Washing Ma chimes; justly, too, by reason of the thousand inventions thrust upon the public, every one of which have proven to be failures. We under lake, however, to assume the re- sponsibility to state that this is the f7;st and only nadcIli71e eUer i7zUent- sd which meets the wants and re- of wash-day.
 Price of Machine, $16. to do all I claim for it, or no sale.
 I am to be found at the Bank Ex- change Hotel, or at Samuel Hills Tin shop, Phoenix.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 20, 1885. John F. T. Smith,

,John F. T. Smith,
 Ph0eniI, 4. T.
 DEAR SIR:-Your favor of the 18th inst. with draft for $91 is re, ceived' I will endeavor to make the best possible use of the same in placing Maricopa's exhibit and rep- resenting the same. I am confident the showing made by your valley, though very small compared to what it should have been, will be the means of directing many people there. Of course we make up as much as possible the deficiency by our personal statements.
 The Exposition is certainly 8 grand success as far as the exhibits go both in the Main Building and Government Building, as we'll as all others; but the bad weather has had tendency keep the attendance down so as to quite seriously ems barrass the management financially; but now the people are coming in by thousands and grand results are anticipated.
 There is more than twice as no uch to be seen here as at the Centennial in '76, and it has been done with about one-third of the money.
 Arizona's mineral exhibit is cons ceded to be far in the lead.
 Yours truly,
 F. NJ. MURPHY, Com'r.
