AN Associated Press telegram of the 17th is responsible for the following sen sational story, that James Gordon Ben nett of the New York Herald, has gone to Khartoum, capital of the Mahdi's territory. MT. Bennett left Paris three weeks ago. He went to Marsailles, then to Alexandria and this week is in Cairo
 Two stories have been cabled over in explanation of this singular journey. One is that at the Parisian Club one night discussion arose, during which an English army officer said it was i'm possible for any foreigner to enter Khar- toum and depart alive. Bennett de- clared that any one possessing sufficient brains and money could visit the Mahdi and return unhurt. He offered heavy wager that he himself would do it with in the period of six months. The bet was promptly accepted, and Bennett, accompanied by an intimate friend, started forthwith upon the hazardous journey.
 The other story is more startling. It is to the effect that on the evening in question, at the club, Bennett received a dispatch from a correspondent at Cairo stating that he had advices that
 General Gorden is still alive and kept a close prisoner and that the Mahdi, by reason of his reverses during the past year, is willing to have Gordon ransom ed for fl, 100000.
 Within the next few days Bennett made all the arrangements for the trip and for the payment of the ransom, and had set out for Egypt.
 But little can be learned in New York in confirmation of the story. One of the editors of the Herald says that Ethey have received cablegram from MT. Bennett at Cairo, but that nothing is known of his prospective movements.

IT is reported that Senator Plumb, of Kansas, has extorted a promise from the president to issue proclamation grant ing general amnesty to deserters from the regular army since 1873. President Grant issued such a proclamation in 1873 and since then there have been 10000 deserters and 5000 arrests. Some men have become so expert in deserting that they have done it four or five times over, re-enlisting from time to time as they felt disposed under assumed names. The motive of the amnesty is to remove the stain from the record of young men who have enlisted and deserted without due apprehension of the enormity of the offense, but the mercy would seem to be somewhat strained in the case of old offenders and little caculated to create trustworthiness in or a high moral among the troops

THE new New York death sentence SO soon to be put into effect on William Kemmler, provides that the sentence be executed "upon some day within the week commencing Monday, the 24th of June, in the year of our Lord 1889, and within the walls of Auburn State Pris- on, or within the yard or enclosure ad- joining thereto, by and there causing to pass through the body of him, the said William Kemmler. current of electrici- ty of sufficient intensity to cause death, and that the application of such current of electricity be continued until said William Kemmler is dead" Kemmler is said to be almost paralized with fear and would if given his preference, much prefer to die by the rope. Death by electricity bids fair to strike terror to the hearts of evil doers.

THE world is full of controversy. The first in the field were Ella Wheeler Will COX and Gertrude Atherton who dipped their pens in wormwood and gall in their attempts to belittle each others charms. This controversy was shortly followed by General Butler and Admiral Porter. The first accused the latter of cowardice displayed on a certain memorable occa- sion, some 26 or 2 years ago, and the latter retorted by telling Benny that he was too drunk to know what happened on the occasion referred to. Lastly but not least comes the English Field Mar shal Wolsley and Jefferson Davis. The old mans style of writing is somewhat ac- rimomous and he gets to the English mans collar in good shape, but as they have just begun to touch one another up on their individual ignorance and in. capacity something more interesting may be looked for.

EDITOR CHATHAM of the Nogales Her. aid, and the Rev. MT. Corbin, Metho- dist pastor of the same town, have locked horns on the evils of dancing. MT. Corbin has taken the sinful side of the fence and sees much ungodliness in the light fantastic. MT. Chatham is more worldly, he knows handsome young lady when he sees one and is not averse to social hop with sweet young woman for partner. Our sympathies are with Mir. Catham and we are willing to "hands all round" on his argument. But unless a more effective battery be turned on him than any that has yet been unmasked, We think that he is per fectly safe even if he has to waltz it all alona

IT is reported that the loss sustained by Major Wham of s29,OOO at the hands of.highwaymen who wounded more than half his escort, will have to be borne by him unless Congress comes to his aid with an appropriation covering the amount. Such a statement is hardly credible, but it is true, nevertheless. The loss incurred, was fraught with many dangers to Major Wham and his escape from death was nothing short of miraculous, and any attempt to hold him responsible for the loss passes be- yond the understanding of the average man. Congress will no doubt reimburse >him for his loss so that in the end he may financially be nothing out, but the fact that he will be held accountable for the money lost under such trying condi- tions is where the rub comes in. It may be law, but nothing more can be said of it.

As rule the big robberies perpetrat- ed in Arizona have been run to earth and the principal actors therein made to suffer the penalty of the outraged law, but frequently months of time elapse and an almost endless amount of labor is expended before the criminals can be brought to justice, while some of the participants succeed in evading cap ture altogether. In some instances the taking of criminals is entirely due to the astuteness and assiduity of pursuing officers, but more generally the capture is the result of some accidental revela- tion. A drunken boast, chance kill ing, betrayed woman, or quarrel over their i'll gotten gains has been the Meme sis of the evil doer. These causes have put more criminals behind the prison bars than the vigilance of any officer Such things, however, may be said to be the perquisites of successful officer, as it is by such and minor clues, that diff cult and mysterious cases are worked uI and the offenders gathered in. In the Wham robbery negro camp woman comes to the fore with information that presages fair to put the rope around more than one rascally neck. But the part played by her needs of itself little explanation. Major Wham is of the opin, ion that she was accessory to the crime but Marshal Meade and his deputies are of different way of thinking. She rode to the scene of the robbery immediately in front of the paymaster's party, several of whom assert they saw her give sig nals, presumably of their approach She states otherwise, her story being in short, that on reaching the rock the robbers had rolled in the road, her horse shied, threw her, and escaped. It is said that she saw the robbers and they bade her go on, but instead of doing 90, she secreted herself and was an eye witness to the terrible tragedy that followed But whatever may have been her part played in the affair, she knows enough of the participants. to hang dozen men If she was not party to the plot to rob Major Wham her escape from death at the hands of the robbers is snothing short of miraculous. That they should privel-
 ege her to pass, knowing that she was liable to peach" and then deliberately attempt to murder dozen men is a something that is difficult of explana. tion.

Seemingly Eradicated.

With repeated and powerful doses of quinine, chills and fever, in some one of it's various forms, springs into active ex- istence again, often without the slightest apparent provocation. To extinguish the smouldering embers of this obstin- ate and recondite malady, no less than to subdue it when it rages fiercely in the system, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is all sufficient. When every resource of the pharmacopoeia has been exhausted against it in vain, the Bitters conquer it, will remove every lingering vestige of it Nay, more, the Bitters will protect those brought within the influence of the at mospheric poison that begets malarial disease, from its attacks. Disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels, are among the complaints to be apprehended from the use of miasma-tainted water. These are both cured and prevented by the Bitters. Rheumatism, constipation and renal complaints, yield to it's action.

THE race for the United States Mar shalship of Arizona is said to be grow ing quite interesting. There are candi- dates in the field from nearly every sec tion of the Territory, and among the ap- plicants are a number of men who would make good marshals, but the grand high chief of the tribe is Robert H. Paul. We say this without prejudice to any of his opponents, but we have known him for many years as terror to evil doers. His whole life has been passed in the service of the law and the entire Pacific Coast has been the theater of his ac- tions. Whenever or wherever the emer- gency called for the man it found one in him and never found him wanting. Whether as shot gun messenger for Wells, Fargo & CO, detective or sheriff he has ever been considered full hand. Bob Paul is bold, resolute and without fear. His experience as an officer of the law in suppressing the criminal element is greater than that of his competitors combined. His republicsnism is stal- wart and unquestioned His appoint ment would universally be regarded as the very strongest the government could make for the position in question.

AN EYE OPENER.

The following, from the London Spec
 tator, shows that the eyes of Europe ar'
 opening, and soon will be opened yer,
 wide to the greatness of this Nortf
 American Republic.
 If the United States were a small
 power, her original idea of diplomacy,
 as the German Chancellor's penman cal
 1t, might be considered caprice, and
 passed over with smile, but her people
 are becoming the greatest nation in
 the world It is is probably that noth- ing short of actual violence would now
 induce any nation to attack her, while
 she could, if she pleased, ruin the com
 merce of any nation on the Globe. It
 is true she has scarcely any regular army
 her 25,0O0 men being overworked at
 home; but if neighboring planet kept no army, it would not be subject to at tack Her coast if threatened would bristle with torpedoes and new means of distraction, and her protectionists would only be too pleased if importation stopped. Her navy though still small, is rapidly increasing. so rapidly as to be subject of special reports to the mari tine powers; and if war were in immed- fate prospect, her limitless command alike of money and men would soon draw 8 fleet together. Besides, apart altogether from her existing resources, the growth in the strength of the Union effects the imagination of the European States. There are children alive who will see, or at all events may see, the North American Republic" with pop ulation of 2O0,O0O,OOO and the means of | raising e3OOyOOo,OO0 year, and the idea of mourning the enmity of such power | is as appalling as the idea of fighting | Russia would be, say, by Italy or Spain. America could be met only by 8 confed- eration of Europe, which without some great change of circumstances, would be or possible only if all Europe 'elt it too dangerous to put up with the treatment one power was receiving. The Union already stands towards the Span sh and Portuguese-American States in he relation in which she may one day 'tand toward Europe herself. Her For ,ign Office already claims something like ! protectorate over both Americas, and lesires to wield preponderating in-

THE PRICE OF PUBLIC LANDS,

The prevailing belief extant is that all even sections of land covered by the forfeited T. P. grant, are held at S2.50 per acre and this fact was apparently implied in letter from Commissioner Stocklager, published in the CITIZEN in April last. The law as then interpreted, was to say the least, exceedingly un- just. On this subject ex-Special Agent Slater addressed letter to the com missioner of the general land office and this morning received the following re- ply. It is of much importance and will be read with great interest by our citi- zens:

 WASHINGTON, D. C., May II, 1889. M. R. SLATER, Eso, TUCsoN, Arizona. SIR:-In reply to yours of the 25th uitimo, would state that my statement in my letter of the 4th ultimo, addressed the Receiver, that "This act does not ap- ply to the granted lands, as they were never increased ID price," means that these lands never having been increased to s250 per acre, could not be reduced by said act. If never increased in price they could not be valued at S2.5O per acre, but must be s1.25 per acre single minimum price.
 Respectfully,
