LIEUT.. MAUs, who was present when Captain Emmei Crawford was killed by the Mexicans in the Sierra Madres, Tn an interview with a San Francisco Chronicle reporter, ,has given ihe full par ticulars of that unfortunate affair. Be ing an eyewitness to the murder, and knowing all the circumstances connect ed with it, his calm judgment after these many days is worthy of consideration and is not based a: all upon prejudice. When he speaks of the action of the Mexican force Es being cOntempible and treRcherous, be makes DO idle ssscr- ton. and when he brands the act as A Tillful and malicious murder, he makes Q charge so serious thas s stigma Of dls- grace will always attach to our govern ment until 1t demands aud receives re- psration for the act. r.! ia an open se- cret in army circles thlt the subject ot this murder and lIexico's responsibility therefor, was officially taboed, Gs 1t was particularly desired that the mat ter should be covered with the cloak of forgettulness as quickly ss possible. This one circumstance has given courage to every little petty ofi- cIal within the Mexican boundaries, and has led to scores of other Outrages that say other power under the sun would hnve promptly resented with booming cannon and rS.tlinR musketry. Our people msy well ask what sort of thing

TIE people Of Ireland feel that the iron heel Of des2otism will not relsx its pressure upon their Eecks under the new British ministry.

He is the direct descendant of his name sake, the former chIet secretary for Ire land, whose cruelties Tn the suppression of the rebellion ot 179S-lSOO still stir the Irish blood against even the memory oi their unnatural kinsman, aud II he re- sembles at all hls ferocious ancestors, the Irish people of to day will scarcely tolerate his presence.

There was a meeting Of the COngrega- tional ministers held in Parlor A. Pal ace Hotel, in San Francisco, on Monday, durlng which the following Arizona talk was iEiulged ID:
 Rev. II. II. Cole of Tucson described the work there. He said Tucson was ar old settlement, older than Jamestown or Plymouth. The climate was excessively warm, making active work impractica- ble for neaIly half the year. Another h!ndrance was lhe Apache raids. He described the circumstances under which one Dr. Davis, a valuable Christian clii- Zen. lost hls life while taking a wagon load of provisions from Tucson to hls ranch.
 Rev. Charles Is. Sumner. Superintend- ept of Missions in Arizona and New Mexico, said the difficulties of the Cos pel work Tn these territories were far greater than had been described. There was great corruption there, such as only emansted frCm mining camps. The dangers from the Apaches kept away many settlers with capital from the ter ritoTy. He thought the government responsible, in a measure, Tor thls state of things, Indian murderers had been convicted and then pardoned and sent back to the reservation. They were called prisoners ID some cases, and yet were allowed to keep the hOrses stolen from murdered men and were well sup piled with arms. Another drawback was the refusal of the government 10 settle land cases. With all these draw backs. Arizona and New Mexico are slowly progressing. In many parts of these territories hundreds ot acres are being cultivated where only one or two were a year or two age.
 The ice-xster of San Francisco IS hay ,py bad effect upon the reverend gen. tlemen, else the expansive Calitornia climate IS exerting its characteristic ln' tluence upon their inauguration.

1t is undoubtedly true that a majority of
those who vote the prohibition ticket are en-.
tirely honest, How they reason it out that
voting in the air and thereby failing to be
counted against the party that stands for
licensed dram selling if not for free rum,
helps the cause of prohibition we do not
know, but in one way or another they get to
the conclusion and cast an honest ballot in
accordance with it. At least we give them
entire credit for so doing. But this does not
initiate against the well established fact that
the prohibition party 10 its leadership and
management is in purpose as in effect moth
ing but an ally of the democracy. In this
State, and especially in this city, the alliance
has been open. notorious and shameless. and
strangely enough has been regarded as per.
teeily natural. When one wanted TO ind the
prohibition lesders in the last campaign in
Manchester it was as much a matter of course
that he sought them in the democratic head
quarters as it is that one looks for any man
at his office during business hours. When a
liquor dealer contributed ten dollars to the
democratic campaign fund it was with dis
tinct understanding that so much of il as was
thought advisable might go to propagate pro-
hibitionists. When the prohibitionists want
ed an organ they always found one in the
Union Office, land when it came to nominating
candidates the two parties had so coaleseed
that they were to all intents and purposes
one. To such an extent was this carried and
SO generally was il understood hat we had
the strange spectacle of two clergymen,
who nearly every SUNDAY night during the
preceding year had been declslming against
the iniquity of the liquor traffic and denounc.

compromise with this sum of all villianies,
running for office and begging for votes as
democratic candidates on license platform.

told the Tribune correspondent this evening
that he under estimated the force of the wat

will make about August l, will not be so
great He said: "No man can swim these
rapids successfully. The water would break
his neck. The currents are ever-changng
and the breakers are varying and big"
Graham is planning to build new barrel in
which to 90 over the Horseshoe Falls if some
experiments he is making are successful. He
will send barrels over daily for month and
il two-thirds come out all right he will make
the attempt. "My present barrel would kill
me in such fall" he said, and l love life too
well. The great danger will be suffocation
and not fracture. if my barrel is all right"
Graham is satisfied that the life was knocked
out of Captain Webb in the first breaker of
the rapids AID not further down the stream.-
