RELIABLE information comes from Washington that Hon. Mark Smith, Ben Goodrich and Judge Barnes are making strenuous efforts to defeat the confirmation of Judge Sloan. They have abandoned their first line of at tack on his character and connection with corporations, and are now mak- ing fight against him on account of his alleged incapacity to perform the duties of his office. Just why these Democratic politicians are so bitter against Judge Sloan we are at loss to understand. That their case against him is very weak is evidenced by their taking up the charge of incompetency as last resort. It is not likely they will succeed.

So FAR, in the fight for the office of Attorney General, Clark Churchill has much the best of it. Judge Kib- bey rendered decision in his favor this week, whereupon it was immedi- ately appealed to the Supreme Court, and that tribunal will soon settle the matter. It will be godsend to the Territory if the decision in this case will evolve order out of the present chaotic condition of affairs.

NEW SUBMARINE BOAT.
A Recent Invention of the French fo
 War at Sea.

A Recent Invention of the French for
 War at Sea.
 The Goubet, the name of the boat built by private firm at the expense of the State, is little boat 5.6O meters long and 1.53 meters broad. It can hold two men. The body of the craft is cast in bronze of a single piece, and can, therefore, bear very high pressure. It is moved by electricity, which in case of failure can be replaced by oars. Com pletely armed it weighs 6,OOO kilo- grammes (about 12,OOO pounds), and can, therefore, be transported easily every where.
 The electricity, as may be safely as sumed, is obtained from accumulators in the boat, but it seems that the pro- polling force can also be transferred to the boat from land or from ship accom- panying the Goubet by means of wire, which would naturally considerably hamper the movements of the sub marine craft. The stores of compressed air are said to lastfor twenty-four hours, and can, by an automatic arrangement, be so,distributed that the state of the air in the ship sconstant. The boat was i'm mersed for eight hours at depth of 10 meters with two sailors in it, and these latter experienced not the slightest in convenience during that period. As special advantage it is claimed for the boat that it can at a word of command sink any depth, greatest probably 10 meters, remain there and change it's po- sition at will. The sinking and rising in the water, it is said, can be executed with the greatest regularity, which is not the case apparently with the Span ish submarine boat Peral and the other French boat Gymnote.-Cologne Gazette.

IN another column is published an article giving an outline of an import aut monetary reform that is about to be inaugurated in Mexico. The mon etary system is to be entirely changed and placed on the decimal system, and all values are to be expressed in dollars and cents. One provision, that re- ferring to the use of private paper by mining companies or commercial es- tablishments as medium of exchange, directly affects some of the citizens of Tombstone, and it is worth their while to read the article. The prohibition of the use of this private paper will go a long way towards abolishing the sys- tenn of peonage that now exists in Mexico, which would be a great boon to the laboring people of that coun- try. The inauguration of this great and much needed reform is another evidence of the enlightened and pro gressive spirit that animates those at the head of affairs in Mexico.

Representative Morrow, of Califor- nia, has introduced in the House a bill proposing to require the Superin- tendent of the Census to enumerate the Chinese population in the United States, and to issue to each of the Chinese a certificate, which shall be regarded as the sole evidence of their right to remain in the United States but shall not be evidence of their right to enter the country. Chinese without certificates ninety days after the enumeration may be arrested, con. victed of illegal residence, and sent to their own country, the persons bring ing them to the United States to be liable for the costs. The bill carries an appropriation of $1O0,00O to give effect to its provisions.

THE mining business, says the Fl Paso Bullion, seems to be growing slowly but surely in favor among Eastern capitalists. If the business could only forever bury or eliminate the mining shark it would at once be- come not only one of the favorites, but the leading industry of the nation. Unfortunately, however, the shark will continue to live and do business as long as there are mines to sell or "suckers" to be taken in. The misrep- resentations of these irresponsible, un- scrupulous dealers cause moneyed men to shrink from legitimate invest ments and thus prevent the invest ment of large amounts of capital in legitimate mining. However, if those seeking investments in mines would use the same precaution and business judgment that is used in other busi- ness enterprises, the occupation of the shark would soon be gone, and min ing would soon prove to equally safe and more profitable than any other business.

The weather is rather cold now, and the aspirations of the gentlemen brought out so early in the season are liable to suffer from the effects of severe political frost.

MIR. SHIELDS, Assistant United States Attorney General, has written a lengthy opinion on the Arizona mud dle, in which he comes to the conclu- sion that all the acts of the last legis- lature are legal, the only effect of the sixty-day limit being to stop the sal ary of the members. This opinion, although coming from high officer of the government, does not help us out any, as MT. Shields opinion has no binding force, and the question as to who are entitled to the offices will eventually have to be decided by the courts. Nor does it improve Governor Wolfey's position. In fact it makes it worse, for it destroys all the argu- ments he has been using in support of the passage of law by Congress con- ferring on him extraordinary powers.

The Grave Gets Tired YaWning,

Seemingly, for certain wretched in valids who toddle feebly along, though always looking as if they were going to die, but emitting to do it. They dry up, wither, dwindle away finally, but in the meantime never having robust health, know nothing of the physical enjoyment, the zest of that existence to which they cling with such remarkable tenacity. They are always to be found trying to mend by tinkering at themselves with some trashy remedy, tonic or "pick me up" to give fillip to digestion, or "help the liver" If such misguided folks would resort and adhere to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters it would be well with them. This superb invigorant supplies the stamina that the feeble require, by permanently reinforcing digestion and assimilation. It overcomes nervous ness, insomnia, malaria, kidney com plaints, biliousness, constipation, rheumatism and neuralgia.

telegram was received at the Navy De

steamship Iroquois, announcing the ar
rival of that vessel at Port Townsend,
Wash, yesterday, after having been
blown about the Pacific Ocean in a dis

An attempt was made to put back to

to latitude As. when the wind shifted to
the east.
The vessel had been already $500

most out of ratiors and coal, was COM

Preparations for Zig Land and Naval
Display on the Coast.


Display on the Coast.
WASHINGTON, d. c., March ll.-Prep-
arations are rapidly going forward IN the
army and navy Of the United States for
a Big "kriegspieg' II anticipation Of a
declaration of war ana the sudden ap-
pearance OF hostile feet upon
the Atlantic coast. Within the next
three months II is almost certain
that troops will be hurried forward on
special trains, and massed about Bog
ton, New York and Philadelphia; that
IN the twinkling Of an eve New England
and the Middle States will be bristiiny
with bayOnets, the navy yards working
extra forces day snd night, and all the
available naval vessels Will be rushed to
sea TO patrol the coast and repel a
threatened invasion.
Officials IN power in the two offensive
and defensive services of the govern
ment, are seriously getting ready for an
emergency, and are still more seriously
certain that the emer genCy is bound 10
come. For wears the army has been
without excitement, save an occasional
Indian campaign, and the navy has pur-
sued the even tenor of pleasure-seek-
ing in a iistless sort OF way, until think
the best thing that could happen 10
destroy the prevalent dry rot was a
good scare.
The fact that the government ls going
to plan war Is of course, kept most in
yiolsbly secret, because it is going to
cost a great deal of money and cause
the war and navy departments 10 go to
Congress next year begging for big
deficiency. 1t would never do TO ask
Congress in advance for the money,
for that would enable the enemy to
be governed accordingly, and, more
over, il would be hard to induce the leg
islstors to vote 100000 for gunpowder
and 500, 900 for transporting the army
on iaunt to the sesshore, and probably
as much again to keep all our navy un-
der steam for month or two. So Con-
gress will not be asked 10 pay the bills
until the accounts are audited.
