IT, is evident that an entirely satisfactory Judg-
ment regarding the Behring Sea question cannot
be formed without more definite knowledge OF
facts and previous negotiations than the puohc
now possesses. Something passed. exactly what
the country does not yet know, between President
Clevelands Administration and the British Gov
eminent on this question. Some private 1nstruc-
lions from the late Administration TO commanders
of American vessels in that sea, the country does
not yet know what, followed either Us result
of diplomatic communications, or on account Of
the late Administrations desire to reach salts
factory conclusion respecting relations with Great
Britain in other matters. This is known, THAI
the authority of the United States TO prevent
the taking Of seals by vessels Of other nations
was constantly and publicly exercised until 1888,
was then suspended for reasons not yet made
public, and it has now been resumed in obedience
TO the express requirement of an act passed at
the last session Of Congress, and approved by
President Cleveland just before the expiration Of
his term. Exactly what the Government is doing
now it did for years prior to $685. and the public
has not the slightest reason TO assume that the
condition as 10 legal rights or as 10 relations
with the British Government, are not what they
were then

have been annexed to Chicago that they should

The competition for the cap;tol site at Ph@niy, among real estate owners was lively, and not only was free land offered, but bonuses in money, etc, were promised as furtaer induce. ment. The commission finally agreed upon the West Washington street site, the proposition of the owners, as re- ported by the Arizsnan, being as fol- lows: Outside of the ten acres donated for the site, to give an avenue of 100 feet wide around the Nulre tract and to give the commission complete con trol of the same for all purposes; to donate 300 twe,year old ash trees te plant around the grounds; to furnish special privileges in grading the grounds; to extend the street car line to the site within six months; to open Jefferson, Adams and Monroe streets to the capitol grounds; to furnish q pre-rata water right; to advance S1 900 for the payment of improvements the present year, as no tax for that pur pose has been made.

D,sarmine an Unseen Foe,

"This was sometime paradox as Hamlet says, Since, however, the peo- ple of America and other lands have been enabled to pit Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters against that unseen foe, malaria, it is no longer paradox, but an easy pos sbility. Wherever malaria evolves it's misty venom to poison the air, and de- caying, unwholesome vegetation impres- mates the water, there, in the very strong hold of miasmi, IS the auxiliary potent to disasm tho foe and assure efficient pro tection. Fever and ague, bilious remit tent, dumb ague and ague cake, no mat ter how tenaclously they have fastened their clutch on the system, are first forced to relax their grasp and eventual ly to abandon it altogether. But it is it's preventive force that should chiefly rec ommend the Bitters to persons dwelling in malaria-cursed localities, for it is a certain buckler of defence against which the enemy is powerless.

THE IRRIGATION SURVEYS,

A press dispatch announces that Major Powell, director of the geologi- cal survey, has submitted to the Sec retary of the Interior sn outline of the proposed survey for the irrigation If arid lands which was provided for by the act of March 3, 1889, and Secreta- ry Noble has given his approval to the plan. The recommendation is. that the work he prosecuted in Montana, Colorado, New Mexice, Idaho, Nevada and California all te be operated as one division.
 It will be noticed that Arizona is conspicueusly absent from the enunsr- ation of subdivisions of the West which are to derive benefit from the irrigation surveys. Whether this emission is chargable to the inadver. tence of the formulator of the dis patch, or Is purpssely made by the Director of the Geological Survey, we have no means of knowing, but not unlikely the latter is the true explaua- tion, as 1t comperts with the treat ment which this Territory has re- ceived heretefore from the Federal government.
 It may bo that other Territories have been mere active and persistent Ill urging their claims to share of the service to be performed by the proposed hydrograph,c survey, and if so Arizonas failure to secure recog- milton Is largely due to the negligence of those who should have been alert iu the matter. II may not be too late yet to lay before Major Powell the im- pertanee of including Arizona in hIs field of operation. Thers is no DOT ton of the arid West where the possi- bilities oi irrigation are more pro neuneed than here in Arizona; where the wide expenses of arable land are 50 fayorably situated. the water sup ply so large and the eonfiguration of the country so admirably adapted to the construction of storage reservoirs. It is sincerely to be hoped that the visit of the Senate Irrigation Commit. tee in September will be sufficiently prolonged that they may be made thoroughly acquainted with the aa- vantagos which Arizona offers to the construction of an extensive system of lrrlpation

current throughout a large part OF
Mexico TO denote any trying or lu-

in because both his hands are full.
The story. according to Scribner's
Magazine, runs:
Once went an alcalde Of Lagos to
church. And in his right hand he
carried his staff of Office, and as he
entered the church he lifted off and
held in his left hand his hat Then
he sought TO put the holy water upon
his forehead; but this he could not do,
for both his hands were full. Then in
awhile bold resolve entered his
heart, and he plunged his head into
the font.

With all these hOnors crowding upon

Six months had passed and no one had
