the John DAILY amnesty committee, say
ing he has been for some time in COM
munication with Englishmen OF much
eminence in Birmingham, who discover
ed startling proofs that DAILY

cities in Ireland. The chief constable,

ing OF the emancipation proclamation
by President Lincoln. The second
annual reunion OF the old abolitionists
began here. w. II. Dupree, chairman,

tically received, addressed the assem-

methods of solution which it had pro-
claimed. The afternoon and evening

BURCHELL'S TRIAL BEGUN.
New Light Thrown on the BenweIl Mys-
terry BY the Evidence

New Light Thrown on the Benwell Mys-
terry BY the Evidence.
WOODSTOCK, Ont, Sept. 22.-The trial
of Burchell for the murder of the young
Englishman, Benwell, began here this
morning. The prisoner, faultlessly at
tired and perfectly self-possessed, pleaded
not guilty. The work of choosing a
jury was concluded at noon. Counsel
for the prosecution then made the open
ing address, setting forth the chain OF
evidence on which conviction will be
asked.
One of the strongest points made by
the counsel for the crown. was in the
reading of letter from Burchell to Col.
Benwell which has not hitherto been
published. In it Burchell says in part
"He (Benwell) has decided to join me,
as he has found all satisfactory. |
think we shall make great good bust
ness together. The books show good
profit last year. The best way is to
place the money in our joint hands.
Your son is, l think, writing by this
post."'
The letter also gave minute descrip-
tions how to send the money, and said
his subsequent letters would be type
written. The queens counsel, Osler,
said this plainly showed the motive for
the mnrder, as Col. Benwell was to pay
five hundred pounds if his son became
satisfied with the farm. sOsler also claim
ed that it was Burchells scheme to send
typewriter letters to Col. Benwell as
coming from his son and to bleed the
father.
The first witness was VIM. Mcdonald,
who said Burchell came to him as a
farm pupil, being then known as F. A.
Somerset. He stopped at Mcdonald s
farm one day, and then went to Wood
stock, saying he was not brought up to
such work. McDonald's evidence threw
considerable new light on the pupil
farming business. He admitted that he
was agent at Woodstock for Ford, Rath-
burn q Co., of England, who sent pupils
to the farm, the farmer getting $125
bonus and the agent $45. Mcdonald
contradicted himself good deal.
Douglass Raymond Pelley, the young
Englishman who accompanied the Bur-
chell-Benwell party to this country, tes-
titled to his arrangements with Burchell
to enter into farm partnership in Can
ada. Burchell told him he had farm
near Niagara Falls of 200 acres, lived in
good style, etc., and spoke OF Mcdonald
as his overseer. Pelley said Burchell
told him Benwell was nuisance that
he would put him on some farm and get
rid OF him. Benwell displayed much
money in New York. The trip of Ben
we'll to Buffalo on the day of the muir
der, an d Burchell's temperance alone,

THE TARIFF BILL.
Debate on the Conference Report Expect
ed to Begin Soon.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-At late hour
tonight, it was the confident expectation
of the Republican conferees on the tariff
bill that Wednesday or Thursday, at the
latest, will witness the opening of the
debate on the conference report. While
the three disputed questions of the most
mportance-sugar binding twine and
steel duties-are not settled, the con-
ferees are near enough to warrant them
in saying they had no doubt some basis
of agreement would be reached tomor-
row.. The bonding period, about
which there has been SO
much talk has been definitely
settled for February first. There is, it is
thought, good reason to predict that the
free sugar standard will be placed at No.
13, and not at No. 16, as proposed by the
house; that a compromise generally
favorable to the house rates will be the
outcome of the dispute over various
items in the metal schedule, and that
binding twine also will be subject of a
compromise. The southern Republican
congressman have adopted resolutions
declaring it essential to the interest of
their constituency that the tax on to-
bacco should be left as fixed by the

0UR Fall Stock is now complete, and we
feel confident in making the assertion
~ that we have gathered the choicest
selection of patterns ever brought to
this city. Not only have we tried to select
choice and new patterns, but we have en-
deavored to grade up our stock in make
and fit, by purchasing from the very best
manufacturers, such as: Stein, Block &
Co., of Rochester; Rogers, Peet & Co., of
New York; Hamburger Bros. & Co., of
Baltimore, and other good makers. The
greater part of our stock of Boys Clothing
was made by Peck & Hauchaus, of New
York, firm who have been achieving
great success for good, well-made goods,
and who supply Messrs. Roos Bros, of
San Francisco.
1t is our aim to sell the best we1l-made
goods at popular prices. We are here to
build up a big business, and every person
who buys wellmade garment Of us that
retains its shape and wears we'll is sure to
come again. We do not claim to be phil
anthropists, but in giving you better

ACCORDING to the organ, tour paper "ths governors paper you know" the CITIZEN manager must be a very bad man, but does this make Governor Vol fiey's administration any more of . sue cess, or hIs actions less puerile; or the advice given by his hsnchman, Johnson the Surveyor General, less uuwise and impoltic. Governor Wolfisy and Gen Johnson both know that when they were taken up and supported by the CITIZEN for the respective offices they now hold that they were condemned by the press of the Territory, and that the CITIZEN alone stood by them. At that time, Herbert Brown was as much manager of the CITIZEN as he is to-day, and by them so considered, as Wolhey's letters to him will abundantly prove. Ills republican, ism at that tune was not questioned. It was good enough to help them into office and is as good now as it was then or theirs ever dare be, and If they say to the contrary they vilsly and malioiously lie. They know as we'll as the public does, that every ad- verse criticism made by the press of the erritory-inclusive of those the governor is now republishing as having passed be- tween the CITIZEN and the Hsrald-was brought about by the defense of those same two worthies. We challenge them to show otherwise.

Parties seeking investments can find them if they will call on Mannang & Oury, Commission Brokers, Tucson, A T.
 Why do you pay $50 per acre for agri- cultural land while you can buy from Manning & Oury for less than one third of that price?
 Manning & Oury have on their list for sale number of very desirable tracts of agricultural lands in the Santa Cruz and San Pedro Valleys.
 Do you want to engage in farming? If so, call on Manning < Oury, who can furnish you with 4S0 acres of fine land under the Florence canal, for little more than song.
 If you want your life insured ia the strongest Insurance Company in the world go to Manning & Oury. They are agents for the Equitable Life Assur- ance, of New york.
 Happy the man whose wish and care,
 A few paternal acres bound"
 If you wish.tO make yourself happy by very small outlay of capital, call on Manning & Oury.
 5000 will buy 1000 acres of land, con taining over 5000 cords of wood-soil rich bottom land-a crop of hay is cer- tain even without irrigation. The wood alone is worth more than the price asked for the land. See Manning S Oury.
 If you will buy the land which they shall show you, Manning < Oury will agree to secure you contracts with re- sponsible parties, from which in the first year, you can clear more than half the purchase money paid by you. Try them.

THE folly of Governor Wolfiey was never better illustrated than by his al legged deadly parallel" which he caused to be published in the Wolhey Republi- can, to show .that the CITIZEN and the Florence Enterprise now favored state hood, whereas enc year ago they oppos- ed it. The CITIZEN stated in reply that it changed base solely because one short years experIsncs with the offensive sd- ministration of the present executive had demonstrated to the tax-riddsn people of Arizols that statehood would be 8 boon at any price. The Enterprise, in vigorous language, states the follow ing reasons for Its change of heart:
 The governors personal organ at Phe- nix has been furnished by the executive office with an Enterprise editorial of a year ago upon the subject of statehood for Arizona, in which we strongly op- posed that measure, and parallels 1t with the more recent expressions of this pap CT fsvoring statehood. Had the organ been disposed to be at all fair in the matter it would have reproduced some of our intermediate editorials giving our reasons for the change of sentiment. One year ago the people were almost un- animously opposed to statehood and for good and sufficient reasons that exist to- day with the same force. But the year of misruls by an incompetent executive who was not the choice of the people, has opened their eyes to a new source of danger that pales into insignificance the most profound logic against an autono- mic government and has convinced them that their only safety lies in indspsnd- ent statehood. They accept this alter native as the lesser of two evils, and much prefer the additional burden of expense to the political chaos and official turpitude of such personal mis- s-govsrn- msnt ss they have experienced under the present administration. If the Re publican is disposed to be fair-s virtue for which it claims letters patsnt-it will supply the missing link in it's deadly parallel" by quoting us honestly.

No greater opportunity ever presented itself to a political organization than that which invites the republican party of Arizona to certain success in No vember. Evidences are multiplying every day to assure us that the party leaders will rise to the occasion, subor- dinating everything which is spersonal to the good of the party and the welfare of the territory. If this is done, then will Pima become the banner republican county of Arizona. If this is not done, it will be because there is not enough patriotism in the party to deserve suc- cess, for as certainly as the good men of the party suffer it to fall under the domination of boodlers, SO surely will it meet with disaster.

TUcsoN is, 80 to speak, a barometer which at all times indicates the buoy ancy or depression in the territory's de vslopment. To-day, Tucson's business is a, large as at any previous time in its history. For years past the average expressions heard on the streets were those of more or less grBm bling of hard times; now merchants, mechanics, hotel and saloon men, and in fact, all actively engaged, are more than pleased. Mer- chants are receiving more frequent and larger additions to their stocks than ever before, and find it difficult to anticipate the growing demand for their goods. They are specially gratifsd with their mining trade, and say but little credit is asked. This is certainly fair indication of brighter days in mining circles.

THE development of a sufficient body of water for the purpose of irriga- tion is the only obstacle to the complete transformation of the barren and appar- ently worthless lands of Southern Ari- zona into a garden whose beauty and sIhuberant productiveness will be the marvel of the times. The broad mesa lands posses, all the requisite clements of soil and location to bloom at the com mand of mankind, so soon as the lndis- psnsable water is provided. It has been fully demonstrated that an abundance of water exists in our mountains and, that our valleys are lined with subtsrranean channels carrying down to the sea vast currents of this much needed fluid. Al present there are fattsring inducements for some entsrprising individual or CO operative enterprise to obtain artssian water in our midst, and successful sol ution of this problem will bring almost unlimited wealth to the projectors.

THERE is quite a stir in and around the Casa Grande mining district be- cause Mir. Loss, manager of the Central Silver Mining O., has decided to take in custom ore to utilize the excess of lead they are working at their concentrating mill. This will be a big help to the town of Casa Grande, and the mining district generally, as it furnishes mar ket for the products of the numerous good small mines in that district. Chloriders are already fiocking in and taking leases, and it is safe to say that within % days there will be at least 100 man chleriding. The smelter at the Central" it is understood, will be start ed in the near future as they have quite a large lot of concentrates on hand.
