PRECAUTIONS AGAINST OUTRAGES.
The London Police Fearful OF Reuewea
Activity by the Dynamfterx.

LONDON, Jan. 23.--The police authorities are
again taking extraordinary precautions TO
guard against the possibility of Dynamite OUT
RACES. The guards of the principal public build
ings were doubled to-day, and there are indica.
tons of unusual police vigilance in every
quarter. 1t is asserted that this activity on the
part of the police is occasioned by the fact that
the authorities have become cognizant of threats
OF violence uttered In conseque OF the un-
satisfactory character OF that portion OF the
queens speech referring 10 the Irish question.
Ii Is noted also that to-day Is the anniversary
OF the explosions at Westminster hall and the
Tower OF London, and some apprehension has
been felt lest the day should be sgnalized by =
renewal OF outrages. A cabinet council Ia ia
session this afternoon, aud extra policemen are

Legislative Extravaganza.
HOW THE ARIZONA LAWMAKERS PROVIDED

SSAS10NAVS LsAIrAN8SouC0s
HOW THE ARIZONA LAWMAKERS PROVIDED
FOR THEMSELVES.
Hon. c. NJ. Zulick, the governor Of Arizona in
a recent mmunication to the Secretary of the
Interior called attention to what he termed
the extravagant appropriations of the last ter
ritorial legislature, and asked for opinion as
to their legality. This question was referred to
Zach Montgomery, who has decided that the
laws provide that no legislative assembly of a
territory shall in any instance or under any
pretext exceed the amount appropriated by
Congress for its annual session. The amount
appropriated in this case was S25, $50, which
included pay of members, printing, clerk hire,
&c. It is found that the appropriation was
lowed by Congress for public printing, $19,-
967.70 was expended, making an excess of
ST., 467.7O above the amount limited by the
act of Congress. In addition to the clerks
authorized fifty clerks were employed, besides
four pages, two janitorS and two doorkeepers at
a cost OF $23, 700. The legislative council con-
sisted of twelve members, but nineteen COM
mittee clerks were employed and their compen-
sation fixed at $500 to $40 for the forty days
service. The thirty-six members Of the legisla-
ture appropriated $3,O7O.SO Tor newspapers,
which was 50 per day for each member. Be
sides, $40 each was appropriated to pay the
members of the house in addition to the COM
pensation allowed by Congress. and $50 each
for the members of the council. The opinion
concludes that all appropriations made i'm ex-
cess of the amounts prescribed by law were in
that there are other territorial governments
where similar violations of law have been COM
mitted, and this decision covers the entire
matter.
