carrying everything before him, and to be
making practical arrangements for the com
pletion of the Panama Canal. The Colombian
Government undoubtedly has listened patient

rupt company's privileges, and has not directly
repused his overtures. Whether it will be
willing to commit itself to positive action Is
another matter. The Government of Colon
bia has every reason to be satisfied with the
present condition of the canal enterprise.
Eighteen months of continued inactiOn will arm

finished canal. 1t will then be able to COM
mand good price for its property. Diplomacy
meanwhile fills up the pauses and does no

WE SEE from the Journal Miner that Judge Wright will hold term of court for Judge Kibbey, and that Judge Kibbey will preside at the July term at this place. There is enough business now to warrant a term of court in April, beside the weather would be much more pleas ant in that month than in July. We would most respectfully sug- gest to the Judges that they change their programme so as to have a term of court at this place in April and an adjourned term in Septem- Der. Such an arrangement would suit our people much better, and would interfere but very little with either the cattlemen or the farmers.

Stabbed in Bed.

Yesterday morning Sid Thomas came to town and notified Sheriff Slaughter that murder had been committed on the Duncan brothers ranch in the West Huachuca noun tains.
 The Duncan brot hers, three in number, have a ranch in the West Huachcua mountains near the Mex ican line. David, one of them has been paralyzed for three or four years and has been unable to do any work. He had been suffering recently from an attack of la grip pc and was confined to his bed on Saturday. The two brothers left for the field, about three miles from the house, to blow. Upon their re- turn at night they found horrible sight before them. On the bed ly- ing upon his back was their broth CT David weltering in his blood while the house presented the ap- pearlnce of having been ransacked and robbed of all its valuables. An investigation showed that the un- fortunate brother had been stabbed through the heart with long knife, the blade passing entirely through his body. No evidence of strug- gle was visible, on the contrary it IS almost certain that he met his his death from a blow from the as- sassin while asleep. Everything of value had beeen taken from the house showing conclusively that the object was robbery. Rifles, pistols, watch and various other articles had been taken. The work is supposed to have been commit ted by Mexicans as the trail leads south and whoever did commit the horrible crime is no doubt in So- nora long before this time. Imme- diately upon receipt of the news in this city Coroner Hawke left for the scene of the butchery to hold an inqnest, He was accompanied by Sheriff Slaughter and G. w. Swain. Their return is expected some time during the night when further particulars will be in all probability forthcoming.-Prospec- tor.

THE following from a Washing ton letter to the Arizona Gazette will be interesting to our Republi- lican readers: A stormy scene oc- cured in the Senate committed rooms on territories, when Senator Joe Blackburn of Kentucky snug gled Delegate Smith into the room where Wolhey was giving testimony in reference to Arizona land, urging cogent reasons why his territory ought not to be made state of the Union. De Bois, of Idaho, a Re pablican delegate was before the committee, urging the claims of his territory for admission, and Vol fey's opposition to Arizona's right to statehood maddened De Bois be- yond endurance, and as he is a headstrong fellow, he openly and roughly accused Wolfey of bad faith and of misrepresenting his territory. To this charge Wolfey plead not guilty, and gave as his reasons that the people of the ter ritOry were almost as unit opposed to admission. About this time Delegate Smith appeared with Sen ator Blackburn, and the look that spread over the face of your Gov ernor could not be traced on can vass. MT. Smith denounced him as uttering falsehoods against Arizona and her people, and produced three hundred letters from Republicans and Democrats, many of them be- ing from the leading men of Ari- zona, asking for relief from Vol fieyism. MT. Smith then stated plainly to the committee the mis- sion of Arizona'S governor to Wash ington, and his standing at home with the people of your territory. It was circus for the Democratic Senators, and the Republicans were apparently rot averse to. Wolfey made a feeble attempt at denial, but it was no use the facts were against him.

St. Johne, Thureday, February G.

APACHE county, financially, is on a solid foundation. Her indebted ness, funded and floating is, in round numbers $157,000. To offset this the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Company owe taxes for the years 1866, '87, '8S and 'S9 to the amount ot $161 1000, and there are uncol- lected from individuals and private interpretations for the year 1889 in the neighborhood of $12,000, mak- ing a total of $173,OO0 owing the county, which will have to be paid in the near future. It will thus be seen that the county has owing to it some $16,000 more than it's total indebtedness.
 The policy of the Atlantic and Pacific in fighting the taxes which it justly owes and should pay, is working a great hardship on the people of this county. But time evens all things. This company will have to pay their taxes in the end, and in addition will have to pay the interest and costs of court. When that time comes our people will enter upon an era of prosperity such as no other county in the Ter ritory can hope for. The rate of taxation will be merely nominal our warrants will be at par, and those who work for the county can afford to do so much cheaper than at the present time, when they are paid in paper at twenty-five per cent discount.
 Judge Baldwin thinks the tax cases of the Atlantic and Pacific will be reached in the Supreme Court of the United States this spring. In the opinion of our ablest lawyers there is no doubt as to the result when they are reached. A multitude of decisions in cases of exactly a similar nature, have been by the Supreme Court, and there is no danger of the court stul- tifying itself in this instance. The taxpayers of this county can rest assured that their burdens will be ere great while and can solace themselves with the fact, that when once settled by the Supreme Court, the question of the liability of the railroad to taxation will be quieted for all time to come, and it will thereafter have to pay it's taxes annually, just as individuals and smaller interpretations are compell- ed to do. The rate of taxation can then be reduced to ] or II per cent which the people can pay and feel it no hardship.

THE Arizona Gazette says the Wolfey organs have been bowling over the fellows marvellous success in Washington in having his bill favorably reported by the senate committee on territories, but upon looking ever the Congressional Rec ord of January 23d, We find this record of his famous or infamous measure:
 'Mr Platt, from the committee on territories, to whom was report ed the bill (6. 1O67) legalizing the general laws of Arizona, except as to certain repeating acts; also au- thorizing the governor to fill vacan- cies occurring during the recess of the legislative council not now pro- vided by law, reported adversely thereon; and the bill was postponed indefinitely"
 Thus It will be seen that the great Wolfey has been routed igromin- iously. The senate, however, the same day took up for consideration a bill of it's own creation, which has for it's object only the legalizing all acts passed by previous Arizona legislatures up to the fifteenth. This was done because Wolfey told the senate that our laws were in a de- plorable condition, and if some speedy action was not taken by con- gress, all of the titles which had grown up under the Arizona laws for the past fifteen years would be declared invalid. But the Churchill Wolfey bill went down in dismay before the intelligence of the sen ate. One more knock-down blow for buncombe and balderdash.
