A REGENT ruling of the Judge of the District Court at Albuquerque, completely knocks out in one round, the old, antiquated, senseless and long-winded procedure heretofore necessary to bring a cause in the District Court of New Mexico. That Territory is to be congratulated in having, at this late day, one Judge gifted with common sense ideas, and independence enough to clam Der up and out of the old ruts of antiquity in matters of legal proce- dure both civil and criminal.

The Extra Session.
prISe.

Washington, July 9.-That an extra session of Congress is to be called is about as certain as any thing can be which is that far in the future. The President told Senator Washburn yesterday, when he mentioned that he was going abroad, that he had better make his plans so as to be here at the end of Octobtr.
 It is the general understanding among the Senators and Represen- tatives that they are to be called here in session about November 1st.
 It seems to be generally believed here that there is to be conference of Republican leaders in New York at an early day, so as to effect, if possible some better understanding between the President and the lead CTS of his party in Congress before the elections in the new States come off and before the extra session is called.

"A Man with a BOttle."

New Orleans, July 10.-James
 Williams of the Times-Democrat is responsible for the statement that Kilrain was drugged. He says during the eighth round he saw a man in Kilrain's corner take a bot tie from his pocket and pour a col orless fluid into Kilrain's water-bot- tie. He refuses to give his name to anybody except Mitchell. Mike Donovan says Kilrain vomited much foreign matter that conld not be accounted for and that his weak ness was not the result of fast fight ing or heavy punishment. But such a proceeding as MT. Williams claims to have witnessed could not have taken place and he be the on ly witness. The friends of both pugilists were wakeful, and the de- lection of trick of that nature was certain, and the "man with a bottle" would have swung from Missis- sippi pine tree.
 Another sensational story, and probably with more truth in it, is that Sullivan's gentle treatment of Kilrain was due to the intimation conveyed to his (Sullivan's) back CTS that in the event of his killing Kilrain portion of the crowd was determined that he would not leave the ring alive. These men were not particularly the adherents of Jake, but were determined if one man was killed the other should be.

Storing Water.

Nearly twenty years have passed since we said in our old paper the Arizona Miner, that the selection of reservoir sites and the making of reservoirs in which to store water for irrigating purposes, must, soon- CT or later, occupy the attention of government and people Little did we think, at the time we made the prediction, that the Federal govern ment would, in so short time, take up the matter and provide money expenses of surveying the western country for purposes named.
 Ex-Governor Tritle called atten- tion to the matter in one of his communications to the Interior De- partment. Our delegate, Hon. NJ. A. Smith, Senator Manderson of Nebraska, Senator Stewart of Ne vada. and other tar-seeing gentle men elaborated a scheme and have succeeded in getting Congress to make an appropriation for survey of the water supply, etc., of the west, which will shortly be made under direction of Major Powell, who has the matter at heart and will do his best, with the limited means at his disposal, to prove to govern ment and people that it will pay to reclaim millions and millions of acres of the best land in the Re- public-lands which, with wa:sr, can easily be made produce line vegetables, cereals, forage plants, fruit, cotton, sugar, rice, etc.
 Arizona, owing to her incompar- able climate and facilities for stor- ing water will, undoubtedly, give the greatest returns of any State or Territory for money expended in retaining her valleys and mesas, and as she has received very few fa- vors from government, her people have the right to expect proper att tention from Major Powell and his assistants.-Prescott Courier.

Onlythe needy sufferers are to receive compensa- tion, and some time must necessar- ily elapse to ascertain who the real ly needy are.

A Half-Breed'S Rights.

A Washington dispatch of the 10th says argument on the question of reopening Secretary Villas deci- sion in regard to the right of a Sioux half-breed to transfer scrip was commenced to-day before a court composed of Sec: etary Noble, Assistant Secretary Chandler and Assistant Attorney-General Shields. The cases which are under discus sion are those of Allen vs. Merritt, Hyde vs. Mcdonald and Oertley vs. Campbell.
 There were alarge number of law yers in attendance at the hearing, including General s. s. Burdett, Hon. Knute Nelson and others. The question at issue in the cases affects parts of the towns of Glen dive, Montana; Duluth and Oval Lake, Minnesota.

A Samoan Surprise.

If it be true, as reported, tha
 Mataafa and Tamassee have formed
 a league to oppose the return of Ma
 lietoa to Samoa, an unexpected
 complication has been added to the
 situation. Apparently it would
 have been a good thing for the Der
 lin Conference, in settling the des- tiny of Samoa, to find out what the Samoans had to say. The mys- tery that surrounds the proceedings of the Conference forbids us to say exactly what has been decided: ill regard to Malietoa, but if the agree ment is to reinstate him as King a serious mistake has been made. The delegates ought to have known that a man who, like Mataafa, has enjoyed supreme power and man. fully maintained it against a rebel lion supported by the greatest mill tary empire on earth, might find it hard to lay down his crown in fav- or of one who abdicated at the bid ding of that same empire. The proper disposition of Malietoa is to bring him back and then hold free election for a King. Malietoa, Ma taafa, or even Tamasese would be acceptable to Us if we knew him to be the choice of the Samoan peo- pie. The United States is not com mitted to any particular chief. All we contend for is the independence of Samoa, and if our commissioners at Berlin have assented to any oth- CT principle they have seriously mis- represented us.-Examiner.

Robbers in Mule Mountains.

From Louis Devall who came in- to Tombstone this morning about five o'clock from the Mule noun tains we learn the following:
 Last evening as Henry Schultz who has a ranch about six miles from Bisbee, was returning home, after rounding up some cattle and horses, two Mexicans emerged from his house and drawing their guns ordered him to throw up his hands. Mir. Schultz started to run, and luckily fell over an obstruction just in time to escape a bullet from one of their rifles. He lay there slightly stunned until the Mexicans came up, when they informed him that if he would remain quiet and not fight they would not harm him. They then tied Mir. Schultz with ropes. and leaving hlm lying in the yard entered the house and ransacked the whole place, taking guns, pis- tols, provisions and everything they could find to lay hands on :; and also helped themselves to a couple of valuable horses that were in the inclosure. One was a large dark bay stallion about six years old, branded V-and had a slight swelling in the ankle of one of his hind legs, belonging to Mir. Schultz The other horse taken was a buck skin animal and was the property of Hoefer, DevalI & O.. i; it is brand ed K.
 The Mexicans were mounted on horses belonging to the O. T. Cattle Company, near Wilcox. Having their brand it is supposed they were stolen from that company. MT. Schultz, after lying for three hours where the Mexicans had bound and left him, managed to work himself loose and gave the alarm. He says he will be able to identify them when captured and that they had been hanging around that part of tie country tor a week.-Prospec- tor.

The Champion Egg-Eater.

P. Gusmani, fish dealer of San Francisco, went to Capitola short timo ago for his health. Last week he went up to Herman Behring's cabin for a lunch, and one of the men went to the store and got one dozen and half of eggs and com menced to cook them hard, frying them in oil. When he had cooked several of them he placed them be- fore Gusmani to commence eating, in the mean time putting chicken on the table. The half-dozen eggs soon disappeared and more were fried. Gusmani soon ate sixteen, and made a bet of $1 that he could eat two dozen more, the loser to pay for the eggs. The wager was accepted, and the eggs were hard fried and Gusmani ate them all. After eating this lunch he said that he would bet $10O that he could eat fifty eggs without leaving the table His lunch on this occasion consist ed of forty eggs, one loaf of bread, a half of a chicken and four cups of coffee.-Santa Cruz Sentinel.

THAT secret circular in Spanish, which has been scattered broadcast over the Territory of New Mexico, and recently translated and pub lished by the Albuquerque Citizen, undoubtedly gives true and cor rect notion of the inward feelings of nine-tenths of New Mexico's na- tive population, with respect to ma terial progress, and more particu- lar!y, to the public school system of this country. However, these facts and this state of things, have ever been apparent to all, save those shyster politicians, seif-blinded by contemptible toadyism.

IN SELECTING Apache county to make his report on irrigation, says the Prescott Courier, Mir. Mason was actuated by the fact that there has been much more done in that coun- ty by private enterprise in this di- rection than in Yavapai, and it was to the best interest of both coun- ties, and the whole territory, i'll fact, that he made as good a showing at the possibilities of irrigation as he could. As matter of fact, no DOT ton of the territory offers better fla cilities for water storage and the reclamation of idle but fertile lands by water than this. AS MT. NJ. has labored assiduously in the matter and made thorough report to the powers that be at Washington, it is hoped that it will prove as good seed sown in good ground, and bring forth such results as will en- able our people to reap many thou sand fold, which they can certainly do, if proper assistance is given.

UNDER the caption of Facts Don't Lie," the Journai-Miner, of a recent date, tries to bolster up it's position in the matter of the puta- tive acts of the late notorious if teenth legislative assembly. To make out a prima facie case, it cites the Rollins resolution introduced at the close of the Eleventh ses- sion, and says of those members who voted against that resolution, they were all Democrats and most ly leading men of that party. The Journal-Miner fails to note the fact that every one who voted for the resolution were "all" Democrats, with but one single exception, and that exception was Mr. Rollins, the father of the resolution. That papers attempt to make 1t a party 
 measure, fails miserably, from the fact that one Republican-Hon. J. w. Dorrington-voted against MT, Rollins resolution, and but one Re- publican, MT. Rollins himself, voted with three Democrats in favor of his own resolution. Hence, more Democrats voted with MT. Rollins, in favor of the resolution than did Republicans, and as many Repub- lican members against as for it. This seems to be an attempt at "grasping straws," and with about the same substantial results. Try another tack, brother Martin.
