THE associated press under date of August 3d, makes public the following very important ruling by Secretary No ble, which shuts out spectators from taking advantage of the great work now being carried on by government survey ors under direction of the ard lands committee.
 Secretary Noble, of the interior de- partment, received telegram from Gov ernor Shoup, of Idaho, setting forth 8 resolution passed by the constitutional convention, stating that speculators were following the United States irriga- tion surveying parties, taking up valua ble water rights. In his report Secre- tary Noble quoted the provisions of the law providing for the survey now in progress. which he thinks covers the grounds, protects the water rights, and among other things, this law provides that all land which may hereafter be designated or selected by such United States surveys for sale for reservoirs ditches, canals for irrigation purposes, and all lands made..susceptible of irriga- tion by such reservoirs, ditches or canals, are from this time henceforth hereby reserved from sale as property of the | United States. and shall not be subject, after the passage of this act to entry, settlement or occupation, until further provided by law, providing the president nation may open any portion of all of the lands indicated by this provision to settlement under the homestead laws.
 The secretary points out that it is i'm possible for speculators to acquire title to single acre of land while this law is in force. and adds this: l think full solution of the whole trouble between the territories of Idaho and Utah, and the parties entering upon these lands in either Territory be subjected to su- perior titlS and future control Of the United States. I have directed the com missioner of the land office to notify the local officers of this law and probate the entries of the kind you specify, and l have also ordered the superintendent of the geological survey to proceed rapidly with the surveys on Bear River. The statute, you observe, reserves these lands from date thereof, and the assistant at torney general of the department agrees with me that 1t is constitutional and ef- fective to the extent expressed. fully appreciate the conflict of the rights that must arise between the territories and states, but these, all can and will be bet ter regulated by national control than local conflicts and contradictory legisla- tion.

FoRT WORTH. Tex, August 5.-Six
 masked men stopped the Ft. Worth and Denver Mail and Express train, between Cheyenne water tank and Tascoda early yesterday morning. Three men got on the locomotive and compelled the en- gineer to pull away from the passenger coaches. which had been detached by robbers and left under guard of the other three. After going half a mile they compelled the engineer to leave his To- comOtive and bring pick and force open the door of the express car. Express Messenger March barricaded his doors and secreted all the express packages, but three, after which he opened the door under threat of being shot. They took three packages, and then compelled the mail agent to open the door of his car. He had hidden all his registered matter but one letter The robbers got this, and then ordered the engineer to pull out. Authorities are in pursuit It is said that the total amount stolen IS less than two thousand dollars. The robbers fired twenty or twenty-five shots into the mail and express cars. Passen- gers were greatly frightened, but none molested.
 N.EwRoEsF. R. J., August 5.-The new cruiser Boston was last evening run on a rock in this port. The Boston had just completed a series of trials in Narragan- set bay, and was returning to her anch- Orage when the accident occurred. In an instant all water tight compartments were shut, but not before the compart- ments of the double bottom engine room were completely flooded. If nothing worse develops she will be able to reach New York by steaming slowly. As soon as she makes the navy yard not mo ment will be lost in getting her into dry dock. No doubt she has knocked hole in her bottom, somewhere amidships.

DO WE WANT A CONSTITUTION
 AL CONVENTION?

AMONG the several very important
 matters now before the people of the
 Territory for consideration, the one per taiuing to statehood is fraught with the greatest interest Six months since, the feeling in favor of constitutional con
 vention was almost universal; to-day It
 is far otherwise. and we question much
 if the sentiment of the people could be
 rightly voiced, if a large majority would
 not now be against it. In this matter,
 republicans and democrats are of one
 way of thinking. A constitutional con-
 vention at its best will be an expensive
 luxury, one the territory can i'll afford
 to indulge in for the time being. The adoption and ratification of a constltu
 tion would involve an outlay of nearly if not quite, quarter of million dol jars, without compensating return. The adoption of a constitution will not hast en our admission as a state, however loud we may knock, or just our claims for representation by a star upon the national banner. The signs must be right and the moment suspicious, or we may knock and plead in vain. To begin with, have We the voting population r6- quired by law; and again. have we the ne- cessary developed wealth to support state government if one were thrust upon us? To both we anwer no, or at least we think not. But if it be shown to the contrary by constitutional advo- cates, we will confess our error with pleasure, and fall in line for the conven- tion The Arizona Star, Florence Er- terprise, the Prescott Journal Miner ano the Globe Silver Belt, all representative journals, have pronounced against the convention and raised their voices il
 protest against the prospective burden some debt that will most surely have tt be borne in case the convention Is heId Under the flag of statehood the advance ment of the country would be rapid, wealth and population would flow 1T where both now fear to tread. But grant ing that we have the population anc wealth necessary for such step, consti- tutional convention held at the present time would appear applicable to oul needs, but without these important re quisites we should consider well the pro position before assuming the indebted ness incident thereto. On this all i'm portant subject we invite the views 0; the people regardless of political afilia tion. and tender them the use of our columns for free expression of opinions thereon.

Sudden Death.

Roy Thorp, a young man about twenty five years of age died suddenly in his room on Court street, opposite
 court house, this afternoon about ? o'clock. He was employed as barkeeper for MT. Julius Goldbaum, and for two or three days has been slightly ailing with fever, but it was thought to be mo- thing serious. He was at the saloon this morning, but returned to his room where he had man to attend his wants. Shortly after noon he began to show signs of deliriousaess, and just before he died broke away from the man that was with him and went on the street and sat down on the edge of the sidewalk, where he was found by Dr. Fenner, who was on his way to visit him. He was carried back to the room and expired in few moments. It was thought that the heat in connection with the fever, was the cause of death. Justice Meyer is now holding an inquest over the dead body. which was taken in charge by Mir. Goldbaum.

THE Senatorial committee, appointed to investigate the subject of irrigation in the arid regions of the West, and to gather information concerning it, began its labors yesterday at St. Paul Some of the counties in Arizona have acted with commendable promptness in this matter. and are now having prepared all desirable information to be found within their borders for the use of the committee when it reaches our Terrlto- ". Pima county has been slow to act on this important proposition, but nothing will be left undone, that will result in placing Pima county on back seat when the committee ar riVes.

THE Territorial fair at Phenix should not be lost sight of by single county. Each one no doubt can excel Tn some thing, some in gold, some in silver, some in copper specimens, while others can compete for agricultural products. The mountains of Southern Arizona could no doubt send potatoes that would carry of the blue ribbon against all corners, while the competition for the finest fruits could be made spirited between half a dozen counties The best stock should be exhibited and liberal premiums of fered for it. The Territorial air should not be allowed simply to be an exhibit of the resources of the Salt River valley. That county has produced wonders, 1t is true, but there are other sections of Arizona that claim to be its rival in the production of all kinds of fruit, wheat, barley, hay, etc. Let the horse jockying contests cease and make the Territorial fair an exhibition of the products of Ari- zona, mineral, agricultural and stock.

SOME of the newspapers are very much

SOME of the newspapers are very much exercised over the location of the insan, asylum, saying that it should be located at some other point On account of tho very warm weather in the Salt River val ley. If it IS a fact that the patients sui fer on this account, the asylum should be removed to some more elevated To cation. As Cochise has not received any sort of recognition, either from the Territory or general government, she ought to put in a claim for this public il stitution. There could not be any more salubrious spot chosen than the foot hills of the Huachucas.-Ep Epitaph.

"Another wonderful discovery has been made and that too py lady in this county. Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she with stood its severest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed necessarily and could not sleep She bought of us bottle of Dr Kings New Discovery for Consumption and was so much relieved on taking first dose that she slept all night and with one bottle was miraculously cured.

Nothing but the very best in the liquor line will be used. and Mexican cigars will be a speciality.

Among Errors RuinouS to
 Health.

One of the most mischievous and most common Is the indiscriminate and too frequent use of purgatives. Such medicines, if we'll chosen and seasonably resorted to, are certainly useful, but many persons select the worst, fly from one to the other, and employ them when there IS no occasion, or their util- ity has ceased. To establish on a per manent basis a regular condition of the bowels, the finest alternative is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. It is botanic in origin and a safe succedaneum for those objec- tionable drugs, calomel and blue pill; it does not gripe or drench the bowels like the ordinary evacuents, and it not only reforms irregularity of the habit of body. but remedies the disorder and in activity of the liver and stomach, which usually accompany that condition. Rheu matism, kidney trouble, malarial com plaint and nervousness are removed by the Bitters.

THERE are no less than eight or ten new mills now going up on mining prop critics in Southern Arizona-three in the Casa Grande district alone. This speaks well for the mining industry in this sec tion, and when the bullion begins to ma terialize, the result will be to attract the attention of mining men to the great mineral deposits which abound iu every county.
