ALL WERE ENTHUSIASTIC.
Enthusiastic addresses were made BY Bi

Enthusiastic addresses were made by Bishop
Hurst, DR.. Bartlett, Representative Morse. Of
Massachusetts, Senator Hawley and Bishop
Newman. DR.. Bartlett's special point was
that in this time of rapidly increasing
agnosticism it was the duty of the Church to
make such efforts as the one in hand.
Senator Hawleydwelt particularly on the
advantages of Washington as a place for
such university, and DR.. Newman's most
telling hit was a declaration that it would
be emphatically an American university,
with the chairs filled by American profess
sors, and that the Secretary of the Treasury
would not, therefore, be vexed with the
question whether the professors could enter
the country without committing an infrac-
tion of the alien contract labor law.
This sarcastic allusion to the fact that the
new Catholic university, established here,
employed foreign professors who would not
presumably be deeply in love with Ameri-
can institutions. was received with tremend-
Gus applause. The Doctor also declared in
favor of professorships for instruction In
craftsmanship and journalism and 1or the
admission of any worthy applicant regard
less of sex or previous condition, though he
carefully avoided saying, regardless of
color" A list was read OF names of persons
who had privately subscribed to the aggre-
gate amount of about $40, 900.
HEADED THE LIST.
Matthew G. Emery and Benjamin Charl-
ton, of this city, subscribed $1,000. B. n.
Warner, the rich real estate speculator,
gave $4,000. There were several $1,000
subscriptions. Mr. Clem Studebaker gave
$780, Mrs. Clem Studebaker $3.50, collected
in dollar subscriptions from young ladies of
South Bend, Ind; Representative Morse,
the stove blacking millionaire, S100, and
many others in small sums, aggregating
nearly $1,000.
Collectors were selected after the reading
OF these names, who passed through the
room and received subscriptions to the
amount of nearly 5000. Ex-Congressman
down his autograph for $780, Altogether
there is now subscribed $33, ,550 Bishop
Newman guaranteed that Washington
would raise at least $50, 600, and others think
the entire 100000 necessary for the pur-
chase of the 80 acres of land contracted for
will be subscribed in Washington.
1t is known that a number of wealthy
persons are merely waiting to measure the
enthusiasm of the masses in the churches to
subscribe large sums. One gentleman
present this evening has virtually pledged
himself for hundred thousand. The land
is situated west of the Tenleytown road,
near IenleytowD, and only short distance
northwest of President Cleveland's late
country home. 1t is fine property, with a
splendid view. and will within few weeks
be reached by the new electric railroad
building from Georgetown to Tenleytown.
AS ex-Congressman Patton remarked, the
purchase is a good one for speculation, and
half of the land in the purchase will be
worth the price paid for all within few
years. The eminent diyines and laymen
present have no doubt of the success OF the
project, and that ground will soon be broken
for the first building.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-Though the
evening was very unfavorable for large
meeting, on account of rain, the Metropoli-
tan Methodist Episcopal Church was filled
with men and women interested in the pro-
ject of National University to be estab-
lished under the auspices of the Metho dist
Church. 1t was the first public meeting
held to discuss the question of the univer-
sity, and to prove that Washington is will
ing to do its share in the great work.
After the customary preliminary e1er-
cises, Bishop Hurst was called to preside,
and long list of Vice Presidents was read,
among the names being those of Senators
Sawyer, Teller, Colquitt, Cameron, Blair
and Hawley, Ex-Governor Pattison. of
Pennsylvania; Secretary Window, Clem
Studebaker, Assistant Secretary Bussey,
Frank Hatton and Assistant Secretary
Bachelor.

Cattle Trail.


 A cattle trail to California is re- ceiving very serious consideration from men in Arizona. A few of the leading stockmen have already sub- scribed the money neceessry to bear the expenses of establishing . trail. To the vast cattle interests of Southern Arizona a permanent trail would be q matter of impor- tance. It effects the small as we'll as the large owners. for small owners could combine in the driving of herds, from one thousand upwards, in number of cattle, and share the expenses pro rata. Such a trail would be the means of getting thousands of feeders to California that at present are allowed to crowd our cattle ranges on account of the cost of getting this class of cattle to market by rail. The recent suc- cessful drives ofcattle, without any extraordinary preparations at all, show that the proposition is feasi- ble. The fording of the Colorado was accomplished by MT. Vail's large herd with the insignificant loss of three head, although the condition of the weather and the river were unfavorable. The river was running rapidly at the time of crossing, and q heavy wind blow ing. Over a hundred persons gath cred on the bank in expectation of seeing the entire herd swept away, and many warned MT. Vail not to cross; but with his usual energy and determination he ordered the herd put in and over, with only the above mentioned loss. Arizona is getting to be great breeding coun- try and every thing appertaining to cheap transportation to market af- fects this great industry.-Tucson Star.

Real Old Timer.

San Francisco, March 17.-The Indian known as "Old Gabriel died at the County Hospital at Sa- lima yesterday. There is no record of his birth, but when the Francis can missionaries came to California more than a century ago. Old Ga riel was then a grandfather, and, as far as can be learned by tradition it is believed he was born about the year TAO, and had reached the age of 150 years at the time ofhis death. Gabriel never used liquor or tobaco and led a peaceable life. He had children and grandchildren by the score, but outlived them all, and no direct descendants survive him.

The Mysterious Disappearance of a
 Stock Man.

About one year ago, John Me- Daniels, a stockman of the Mogol- lon mountains, left his ranch with a man named Chas Morris, for Flag staff, the later being in his employ. Some days later, Morris returned to the ranch, but from the day the couple left the above town to this time nothing has been heard from McDaniels. Morris told some sort ot a story to the stockmen living in the vicinity, which was plausible, and at the time no particular suspi- cion was aroused. He also took charge of McDaniels property, as he said he had been instructed to by him. After a lapse of a few months, and Daniels still failing to put in an appearance, suspicion of foul play began to be aroused, and finall the remains of human body were found, supposed to be his, but mu- tilated and decumposed beyond re- cognition. About this time Mor- ris suddenly left the country, and later was reported to have been ar rested in New Mexico for horse stealing. As McDaniels' property consisting of several hundred head of cattle, valued at several thOus- and dollars, has been neglected, :, Probate Judge French appointed Ralph Cameron as special admins trator of the estate, to look after the cattle, there being not longer any reasonable doubt that McDaniels is not only dead, but that he was mur- dered. Mir. Cameron will leave in a day or two to take charge of the property, settle up the estate, and if possible, solve the mystery of Nc Daniels disappearance. In addition to his papers as special administra- tor, he will also bear a commission from Sheriff O'Neill as his deputy Prescott Journal Miner.

About Irrigation.

An inquisitive reader, says the Alamosa Journal, who is fond of historical research, inquiries when was irrigation first in vogue in the United States? This is a poser. Prescott speaks of old ditches in his writings. In Arizona, ditches supposed to have been built by the Aztecs, have been uncovered and they are in some respects better made than those of the present day. They are lined with comment to prevent the loss of water by seep- age, and the Way they are laid out shows that the builders thoroughly understood economical irrigation. Similar ancient ditches are known in New Mexico. Long before Co., lumbus landed on this continentin the latter part of the fifteenth cen tury irrigation was practiced, but as for more exact dates some other authority will have to be hunted up.

The People Were Right.

Cameron and Wilson want land court bill Now, in eandor, if Cam eron wants that measure, how can it be in the interest of the settlers of Arizona? The Gazette opposed General Wilson in the last cam- paign on the grounds that he fav- ored the McCreary bill. He denied it, but now he is working for a sim iliar measure. Was not the people of the Salt River vally right in giv- ing faithful Mark Smith 1000 ma jority? It is evident now that Will son did favor that bill, and he also favors it now, and if appointed a judge would be simply a tool of the Camerons. The appointment of Brewster Cameron to the clerk ship of the district court of Pima county was an insult to the people of that district, and now this i'm pudent land grant shark IS using every power at his command to create a court of his own to 'trY" the title of his fraudulent claim. This is the most infamous and ras- cally attempt to subvert the rights of the people through 8 personal tribunal that has ever come to our hearing, and in the name of com mon decency we trust it will not succeed.-Gazette.

A CARD.

Three years occupancy of the position of Register of the United States Land Office at Prescott, Arizona, has enabled me to acquire considerable familiarity with the practical workings of the Uni ted States Land laws. Knowing that there are great many delayed patents to public lands, possibly other complica- tions affecting titles and intending to visit Washington in April, I will be glad to serve professionally, any parties de- string it in the United States General Land Office at Washington, while there.

ACCORDING to an article to be found in another column, copied from the Journal of Agriculture, the United States is getting out of debt, the wrong way. In 1886 the pub lie debt was $1,7S2,OOO,OO0. Since then there has been paid on princi- al,interest and premiums on bonds s3,57S,000,O00, and on the first of November, 1889. the United States still owed $1 ,693.OO0,0OO. Let this go on twenty years longer, and we will have paid six times the amount of the original debt, and will have reduced it only about $200.O00,OOO This shows good financial ability tor the money lenders.

St. Johns, Thureday, March 2T.

IT WILL be seen from an article published on the first page of this weeks issue, copied from the Tue son Star, that Gov. Wolfiey has ask ed Congress to confer on him the power to remove territorial anG county officers. The HERALD was of the opinion, when such repor' was first circulated, that it was hoax. We had no idea there was a man in the United States who, iE this enlightened day and generation would have the hardihood, the un mitigated gall, to ask any legisla tive body clothe him with such ex traordinary power. Let the reader think for a moment, and he can realize the unlimited sway man with such authority could have in 8 state or territory, With power to remove officers, either county or territorial, he would have absolute and supreme control of the entire territory. The counties could elect and send their representatives to the legislature, and unless they obeyed the mandates of King Wolf1ey, il would be in his power to remove them, and appoint others to fill their places who would be subser- vient to his every wish and desire. It will be seen that he could thu shape legislation to suit his own sweet will. He would also have it in his power to remove all other county officials elected by the peo- pie, so that he could have his will ing tools occupy every official posi- ton in the territory. Invest him with this power, and what would be the necessity of running the terri tory and counties to the expense of holding an election? Why not let his Imperial Majesty, Lewis I, ap- point all officials? Judging from his actions since he has occupied the position of Governor, he would unhesitatingly and unblushingly use the power-if it be gl' en him to place his immediate followers in every position ot any note, in ever : county of the territory, and would be absolute monarch, so long as he held the power, over the politi- cal liberties of the people of Ari- zona. Had he not had such inten- tions, he would not voluntarily have subjected himself to the merciless criticisms which he knew-if he knows anything-would follow im- mediately upon the heels of any such request.
