CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-The Worlds fair
directors are not IN tho least anxious as to
the fate Of the Worlds fair bill for the
simple reason that the faults and defects
In the bill, they felt, could not iniure the
fair, for they did not affect it. If any ex-
listed they pertained solely to the land after
they had done with It. and Of course that
could not interest them as directors. Presi-
dent Gage thought that the cali allowed
the legislature 70 pass any measure affect
ing the fair in any way it might choose,
and at the same time with any limitations
it might provide. The directors have no
doubt OF the. constitutionality Of the. bill
and are confident the governor will sign it.

Are Water Rights Taxable:

The subject of the taxation of water rights in this county is attracting con- siderable attention among the people and has some very fine points to be considered. There IS within the coun- ty upward of $3,OO0,0O0 invested in water rights or their equivalent, winch are not especially assessed, do not pay taxes. Water rights are entirely dis tinct from stock in canal companies, which is assessed; they are entirely distinct from the property, ownership, appurtenances or corporal heredita- ments of canals; these values are as- ssessed=and taxed. Ttey are however, sold by the canal companies, attach to the land under any certain canal, can not thereafter be detached from the land or separately transferred, nor can the land be transferred without the water right, and it Is probable they are included ordinarily in the value of the land. They are in fact somewhat of the nature of an ease ment granted for consideration by the canal companies to the holders of the land. This vast investment of money Tn the county Is untaxed and appar- eutly untaxable, at least not directly taxable. The question being consid- cred by thinkers in thIs direction is whether these water rights can be made directly taxable. Probably not. In fact cursery examination of the case would make 1t appear that such rights are already indirectly taxed, and that is all that is required. Lands that have water upen them, that are attached to water rights, are or should be worth more than lands not so at tached, and especially If they have not water upon them, and this increased value of the land IS the value of the water right and is included in the as sessment, IS taxed.-Phenix Herald.

PrespectOrs Invade the Navajo Reserya-
 iiOB.

A few weeks ago six miners invaded the Navajo reservation, and discov- cred several very rich gold and silver leads. They sunk a shaft on one lead to depth of thirty feet, and the min eral was unusually rich. Tue hardy prospectors were jubiiant over the bonanza in sight, and expected soon to be millionaires. At thls juncture the angry Navajos came uown upon them and gave the miners the alternative of death or immediate departure from the reservation. The miners at once packed their traps and started for Gallup. On their way in they met another party of prospectors going out to the mineral region, and all turned back to work the mines. Yes terday force of regulars finder Cap tain Wallace left Gallup to round up this squad of miners and forcibly re- move them from the reservation.
 The Indians are excited over this invasion of their reservation by min CTS, and lively times may be expected. An old mlner came in to the city from Gallup last night, and says if this pres ent squad of prospec;ors are removed by the troops, another party may leave Gallup in q few days for the golden fields.-Albuduerque Citizen.

At EOggcrSicads.

There seems to be considerable fric- tion between the civil and military authorities at Fort Bayard and Cen tral. A canteen was recently estab- lished at the post. The constable from Central attempted to gain admission, in order. be said, to ascertain if gam bling was belng earned on there. The soldiers refused 10 admit him without an order from the command ing officer. It is also sad that the constable acted in 9 harsh manner to- wards the soldiers, evidently wishing to make trouble. The officer of the day, Lieutenant Collins, was sent for and ordered the constable to be eS- corted off the reservation for making trouble Ill the canteen. A warrant was sworn out for the arrest of Lieu tenant Collins, who was tired before Judge Woods and fined S75 and costs. Lawyers of this city who are well in formed in the matter state that the Judge exceed his authority, and also that he dld not treat the defendants and lawyers with proper courtesy. The case has been appealed, on bond of $500. The officers of Fort Bayald are very bitter over the manner in which they have been treated.-Silyer City Enterprise.

Mark smiths Alleged Actien in Regard to
 ArizOna's Funding Bill.
(Phnnix Herald I

(HlObllX IlerdiQ
 The funding act prepared for the Territory by Governor Wolfey, and which has passed the House, has been emasulated by Holman of Indiana with the concurrence efDelegate Mark Smith and simply amounts to entire ly useless legislation for the Territory, by reducing the time bonds are to run from fifty years at five per cent to twenty years at the same rate and redeemable in ten years Now any body in Arizona who knows anything abeat,the financial affairs at all, knows -rnass -rTe per eehE Hithetwentz- years to run ana gHich may be re- deemed in ten years if the Territory so elect, is entirely useless te us from the simple fact that they can not be negotiated The result of the en- deavors of Delegate Smith In thiS line is that Arizona will continue to groan under the present burden of taxa ton, will continue to pay ten per cent and upwards on our Territorial in- debtedness, whereas, ii the bonds orig inally proposed by the funding bill bad been given the long time it pro- posed, and which was the very essence of thalr value to the Territory, they would have been easily handled and the present generation would not have been compelled to perform the work of developing our Territory and pay ing all the expenses thereof for future generations to enjoy. Holman is not so much to blame in his position in the matter, for be comes from State that has little more maternal develop ment to make or will move very slew ly henceforth, therefore he cannot ap- preciate the situation where few years, five or ten. will almost entirely alter the character of the population of a WnCle Territory, such as Arizona, and undoubtedly triple population, a condition of affairs that will continue for two or three generations to come in Arizona; we say Mir. Holman was not so much to blame, he knew no better, according to hlS experience, besides he has the reputation of ''the great objecter" to maintain, and the matter concerned him little or not at all anyway. Wi1.<lsss4s>suith the case is different, entirely different; he knows the condition of affairs here thoroughly, knows our needs, our bur den of taxes, the necessity for the funding act, and the utter uselessness 10 us of the bill he agreed to have passed. In truth Mr. Smiths position in the matter looks decidedly partisan in which he subverts the interests of the people ot Arizona whom he IS sup posed to represent, for merely partl- san qualification of the most insignif- cant kind. It looks as though he destroyed the value of the bill simply because he did not happen to be the author of It; because it originated with a Republican Governor of the Territory. If these surmises be true, and the whole action of our Delegate points that way, partisanship can get down to very small modicum of con- scientious effort for the benefit of the ''peOple which some of our politicians hare professed to love so well.

Colorado t'anyon.

A Denver special to the s. F. Chron- icle says: Chief Engineer Robert B. Stanton, who left here with corps last November temake preliminary survey of the Denver, Colorado Can yon and Paeifc Railway from Grand Junction to the Gulf of California. through the Grand canyon of the Col orado river, returned home to-day from the Needles, Cal, for 3 couple of weeks rest.
 Mr Stanton and hls party are the first men who have passed through thls dangerous. canyon since Major Powell made tht tESslin 1869. Iceon-- versation tonight he said the con struction of railway through the canyon was perfectly feasible, and that from Grand Junction, Col, to the Needles, distance of 900 miles, the grade need not at any place exceed twenty feet per mile, and for the greater part of the distance it would not be more than from five to ten feet per mile, while the curvature, con- trary to general expectation, would be very light. The results were much better than he anticipated.
 MT. Stanton has gathered consider able data upon the resources of the country adjacent to the canyon, butas yet the greater part is undeveloped, and it is difficult matter to put them into definite shape. Between the head of the Colorado river and the end of the Grand canyon he passed over 52O rapids He graphically describes his passage over rapid 465, below Peach springs, during which one of his boats was damaged by collision with the rocks and he was washed overheard by a wave, thrown into a whirlpool and drawn downward into what seemed bottomiess river. He finally came tc the surface fifty feet from where he went down and vas rescued by his men. These rapids are many times more dangerous than the one where President Brown and two men lost their lives last summer, but on account of the present party being supplied with life preservers no man during the whole trip has been Tn danger of drowning.
 He considers the route from Peach springs to be the grandest and most wonderful part of the whole canyon, the scenery surpassing anything in America. even the Grand canyon of the Arkansas and the Black canyon of the Gunnison. He spoke Tn the high est terms CT he bravery and faitbful- ness of the men who accompanied him on the dangerous journey. Stanton returns to the Needles in two weeks to complete the trip from there to the Gulf of California.

A recent Washington dispatch says: There is setting in a reaction against indiscriminate and excessive pension legislation. Many Republicans feel that Congress has started of this ses- sion at gait too rapid. Congressman Tarsney, of Missouri, who was Mich igan soldier and a prisoner of war, has been doing some figuring. He has sat isfed himself that without taking into account the multitude of new proposi tiOuS, the pensions which the country will be paying five years hence will reach the enormous total of S300,000,- 900 per annum.
