PRESS COMMENT.

Philadelphia Record: Reciprocity may
be inching along, but Mr.. Blaine ought to
smash more hats. One hat is nothing.
Washington Post: Mr.. Parnell will make
a great mistake if he comes to the United
States for political funds. We will have
considerable politics of our own to pay for
within the next year or two.
New York Times: So far as the merits OF
he case count for anything. the democrats
we're entirely justified i'll voting mo" on
the proposition that Mr.. Reeds conduct in
the chair had been marked by dignity and
lmpartiallty.
St. Paul Pioneer Press: DR.. Fisher. of
Washington, has started a new fad which
is having a great run-fasting as a remedy
for dyspepsia and other irregularities of
the digestive organs. 1t is said to be very
beneficial, and certainly will be very con-
venient for about a hundred great states
men who began to have no visible means of
support about March 4.
Toronto World: Before another general
| election the Wiman fad will have passed
away forever. The net result of the cam
paign is that Canada's loyalty has been
indicated, disruptionists and annexation
lists have met with little encouragement
and that the old man will continue to do
business at the old stand with nearly the
same majority"
Providence journal: Andrew Jackson re-
fused to turn out the heroic General Miller
from the custom house at Salem, although
he was a wing, but Benjamin Harrison
turned out the heroic General Corse from
the postotice at Boston because he was a
democrat. That il the difference between
Andrew Jackson and Benjamin Harrison.

william Nelson Intercepted While At
tempting to Leave Town.
William Nelson was placed under arrest
by Officer Frey last evening just as he was
boarding the east-bouud train. Nelson had
a ticket for Townsend and his trunk was
checked for that point. His partner wa
with.nim.and the pair we're starting for Cas-
tie.
1t was on complaint of Miss Christina
Hoegl1n, a Swedish servant girl, that Nelson
was arrested, and the charge she preferrt d
was that he was responsible for her delicate
condition. She said that Nelson lived with
her under promise of marriage and then
abandoned her, She wants Thin 10 marry
her or give bonds for the maintenance O
the child.
Nelson is a contracting carpenter. a
Scandinavian and good looking. He does
not deny the charge, but claims to have
knowledge that the girl has two children in
the old country.
On the other hand Officer Frey stated
last night that this il the third time thai
Nelson has had to skip out under like cir-
oumstanees. Unless Nelson marries the
girl County Attorney Nolan says it will q
pretty hard with him. 1t is believed that b,
will do this and then, like many before him
will leave the country.

A NEW phase Of the Miner case ap-
pears in a claim Of 81 100000 against the
United States presented by Mrs. Bar
rundia widow of the man who was sur.
rendered through Minister Miners or
ders. There is certainly some ground
for the claim, because President Harri,
son very plainly stated in his last mes
sage to congress that the minister was
recalled because he had exceeded his au
thority in delivering General Barrundla
to the Guatemalan authorities. The
only defect in the claim is that it is not
endorsed by the government of San Sal
vador. In most states in this country II
mans life is valued at 5000. 1t is
doubtful il n San Salyadoran is worth
200 times that amount.

DEAD ROAD AGENT.
Dispute over his The
Rewr rds for his Capture

There is in the vicinity of Benson
some opposition to the idea that the
horse thief killed last week is Geronimo.
They base their claim for this opinion on
the dead mans teeth. Geronimo's
front teeth, they say, were wide apart,
SO much so that a match would easily
go between them. Those Of the dead
man were close together and quite
regular.
On the other hand there are many to
testify that he is Geronimo, and base
their opinion on very unusual mark.

wound received in Sonora seven years
ago. Sandoval, one of his companions,
also told that the dead man was Geroni-
mo; that his aliases were General Fran
cisco Meranola, Geronimo Merando and
Santiago Morens, tie last bsing the
name by which he was known of late
to his allies. Again an old Mexican,
who through fear Of the dead man has
gwen him lodging from time to time for
yeas made the statement that it is
Geronimo. That Identification might be
complete as pos Ible. the boly was
kept on ice for four days, and was also
p photographed.
The rewards offered for Geronimo as
far as known are Wells. Fargo & Co.,
$500 and Southern Pacific Go, $500.
No county or territorial rewal Is are
offered so far as can be learned. 1t is
thought that there is a United States
reward, but in what amount cannot be
ascertained until Marshal Paul returns

Nearly south Of Tucson and about

the thriving town Of Nogales, only eight
years old, bat sreedily maturing into a
clty OF no mean proportions. 1t already
has settled population of 5000, lnclu /.
ing the inhabitants of both sides of the
line between Mexico and the L. S., which
divides the town about midway. Its
altitude is j, ,750 feet, and the climate is
claimed To be uniformly pleasant and
healthful, many seeking it for the cure
of lung troubles, and generally obtaining
at least some relief, if not a compile 5e
cure. the chief resources Of the town
are the adjacent mines and custom house
business. OF the substantial buildings,
either projected or in course of erection,
is the Mexican custom house, now we'll
under way, to cost $4,000.
Less than twelve months have elapsed
since the appointment of Nogales as the
chief seat of customs for Arizona district.
