IF all property in Arizona, real,

IF all property in Arizona, real, personal and mixed, were listed and taxed at it's real cash value as re- quired by law, says the Phenix Ga- zette, there is no doubt but that the assessment rolls of the different counties would swell the aggregate property valuation of the territory to more than seventy millions of dollars instead of about twenty eight million as it stood last year. The rate of taxation would be less for county and territorial purposes, the ratio of indebtedness to assess able property would be materially reduced, which would give better financial standing to the several counties and the territory, and, if all were assessed on what they pos sessed, there would be no hardship upon any branch of business, the increased valuation through the listing of all the property would be more than offset by the reduced rate of taxation. The board of territo- rial equalization have paved the way for uniformity in assessment, and we hope it will be inaugurated throughout the territory.

Mysterious Assault.

Lucky Baldwin's palace horse car Anita, the longest and most ele- gantin the world ,ofits kind is on the house track in the Santa Fe yards, and in the front compartment is Billy Johnson, the well known "plater" of race horses, with one side of hls throat cut and an ugly gash on the cheek. The affair is surrounded by an atmosphere of mystery, that even the diligent ef- forts of the officers have failed to clear away.
 T. B. Fawsett, brother-in-law of B. J. Baldwin, is in charge ol the car, and when interviewed by The Citizen reporter, told several inco. herent tales, in which he accused three diffenent persons of the cow ardly deed. It was evident that he did not wish to have rigid inves- tigation. He accounted for this to, day, by stating to the interviewer that he was afraid he might be held over as a witness.
 The whole car had been having q 
 premature Fourth of July celebra- ton, and all were hilarious, includ- the Chinese cook. It was general ly reported that the cutter was one of the employees of the car, but none of them resemble in the least the assailant, except MT. Fawsett, and it is not reasonable to suppose that he was the guilty person. The wounded man states that he was going to the depot about 10 o'clock Saturday evening, when he was at tackled near Gross, ,Blackwell's build ing, without cause. Another yer sion of the affair is that Johnson had staked stranger, to gamble in one of the saloons in the immediate vicinity, and that they afterwards had trouble.
 One of the officers informed The Citizen that when he sought infor- nation from the wounded man, Mir Fawsett said that they did not de- sire any arrests made. It is proba- bleth the matter will be thorough ly investigated and the true facts made public.
 Doctors promptly responded to the call for medical aid, and spent several hourse stitching the wounds.
 Mr. Baldwin has been informed by telegraph of the occurrence. The injured horse shoer will probably be taken to Chicago tonight, if he is able to stand the fatigue of the trip.-Alb. Citizen April 25th.

Mrs. Emma Gonzales seems to be in earnest in her fight in regard to the Flagstaff townsite. Our cit izens who fattered themselves that Mrs. Gonzales would drop the con- test when it went against her in the District court now find that they were mistaken. An appeal has been ta- ken by her to the Territorial Su- preme court, and the case will come up at the next session in Phenix. It requires more money for legal expenses, and those owning proper ty in the townsite will have to bear the expenses or run the risk of losing it.-Coconino Sun.

The report that Juan Florez had been found dead with his head cut off, proves after all to be true. Wm. Heyn, in whose employ Florez was for number of years, furnishes the information that Florez was on his way over the mountains to San Pedro, or perhaps hunting his srtay mules, and fell a victim to the greed of some countrymen who robbed him of fifty dollars which he had with him. The position of the body when found indicates that he had been sitting down with his murder CT, and while both his hands were occupied rolling a cigarette, was dealt blow with a stone, that shat tered his teeth and broke his jaws. Stunned from this, his hands were tied to his back, and his head cut off to make sure of him not telling the tale. His body was found as described, by Mir. Archie Kelly, on the 12th, Tn an advanced state of decomposition, and next day a del egation of authorities and others from San Pedro went to the spot and had the body cremated.-Pros- pector.

BOOMING BLAINE.
how the News Was Received in the Con-
Yention City.


MINNEAPOLIS, June 4-The first informa-
tion of Baine's resignation and tie accept
anee of the same by the President came
through the Associated Press bulletins, and
when it was officially confirmed the Blaine
men gave one wild, hiIariOusshuTr Thou
sands OF faces were turned upward from
the hotel lobby. and as many voices in-
auired the cause of the bathurst. "Blaine's
resigned" shouted National Committeeman
Conger. Instantly the news WAS communl-
Gated 10 the outside, and like wild burst
of enthusiasm spread through the city. The
Blaine leaders seemed to c0ngregate as IL
by magic and, as they exchanged felicita-
tions, the eounteDanees of ClarksOn and
Fassett beamed with pleasure, and even the
immoYable Quay was manifestly eXultant
An hour later "Blaine Headquarters" were
engaged in the West Hotel at price of $780,
and the fight was on.
At the Harrison headquarters dismay was
at first pictured on every face, but Consul
General New, quickly rallying his lieuten-
ants, closed the doors for few minutes con-
sultaIion, and when the Harrison leaders
stepped out again a line Of battle was
drawn. Instead of eulogy the eX-Secretary
was accused of bad faith, and the Harrison
people still maintained that they had su I'll
cient votes to nominate their man. The
news Of Biaine's resignation at first created
the feeliI & among the Harrison men that it
meant the defeat Of their candidate. and
there was some talk Of bringing cut dark
horse with which to cut into the Blaine fol-
lowing. That feeling has now given away,
and whatever else the Harrison men may
do it can be stated positively that they Will
stand to their guns to the last.

political situation. He said ut does not
change the situation materially, except to
accentuate the insult which the President,
in HIS interview, and Secretaries Miller and
Foster in theirs, attempted to infict upon
Blaine. His friends have realized for some
time that the President has sought 10 mini
mize tie effects Of the wisdom and sagacity
of his Secretary of State. but it appears
that they not only desired to ignore him,
but because he did not seem disposed to
write letter every few minutes they saw
ft to throw mud. The resignation may be
of some help here as it leaves vacant an
other office to peddle for Harrison votes.
As for Colorado, we are for Blaine, and the
far Northwest is the same. Harrison could
not carry Colorado"
Charles F. Griffin. ex-Secretary Of State
of Indiana, said Every sensible man con-
cedes that Harrison is the only Republican
that can carry Indiana. At least if he can't
no one ean."
National Committeeman Payne of Wis
consin said: Il think it means that the
President cannot be nominated. or elected
If nominated, but whether Blaine will win
is not so clear"
Senator Teller of Colorado thought that
Blaine would be nominated.

the "'ffiee- holders" as the Lynch deega-
tion-at- t-large are known. will have to be
content with half vote each. The sub
committee decided, as a matter of courtesy
to The President, that the contesting dele
cation from Fort Wayne, Ind. should not
be recognized The result of the contests,
except in Indiana. is a victory for the anti
Harrison men. There were more than so
contested seats, and upon the result Of this
largely depend the opposing forces in the
organization Of the committees
The Blaine managers now say that Blaine
will be formally placed in nomination. For
aker will probably nominate him, with Sena-
tor Wolcott of Colorado TO second the nomi-
nation on behalf Of the silver State.
resolution was adopted at the meeting
OF the national committee pOstponing the
election of temporary chairman and other
officers till l o'clock Monday afternoon.
The feeling among the delegates at mid
night seems to be that it would be suicidal
to nominate either Blaine or Harrison.
Sherman Is openly advocated by many of
the delegates, even those instructed for Har-
rison. In the Virginia delegation Malone
will control the eight delegates absolutely
and vote them against Harrison.

doesn't it? l think Blaine is the man and
can't be stopped. The masses of the Re-
publican party demand him. and no one
else will satisfy them"
Handsome Joe Foraker Of Ohio. who is
ALWAYS kind, affable and suave and who has
survived more political defeats with bet
ter grace than any other man living in
America, smiled as he paced nervously up
and down his room.
'Now, really" he said, Il can't tell much
about il, for you know our State is ripped
all up the back Considering everything. l
don't see how Mr.. Blaine could have done
other than he has, and think he Will be
nominated"
Senator Stockbridge of Michigan, whose
millions permit him to ride about In spe-
cisl car and drink champagne out of barrels
If he wants TO, was pleased with the news.
~ think Mr. Blaine did the honorable
thing and has placed himself on record In
such way that one can't mistake his posi-
tion," said he. 1.-THE country wants him.
and he can be nominated and elected.

dollar on the result"

respective families Of the President and the
Secretary.
These causes undoub, edly created a feel
ing Of cOnstraint between the President and
the cretary months before Blaine wrote
the letter declaring he was not a candidate,
and the recent authorized publication by
the member Of the Presidents family and
his close political friends regarding the Sec
retary's physical and mental condition added
to this.
There seems to be no doubt whatever
among Blaine's friends in this city that he
has placed himself in position to accept
nomination.
One effect of his resgnation Is the sudden
termination Of the conference between HIM
self and the representatives of Canada. To-
days session was abruptly terminated by
Blaine statement that it was useless to con-
tinue the negotiations as ne was about to end
his official relations with the Government.
The Canadian commissioners left on the
afternoon train for Ottawa in au unpleas-
ant frame of mind, and were quite free in
stating that they had not been fairly treated
by the administration. 1t was subsequently
learned that there were no sensational iu-
cidents at the session, but that the con-
ference closed in friendly spirit ON both
Sides
The Secretary remained at the State De-
partment until Ills P. NJ arranging his
private papers. While he was doing this
an official document was laid before him
for his signature. Blaine told the messenger
to take it away, saying quietly:
II am no longer Secretary of State.''
This is said to have been the flrst intima.
tlon he had given any of his official assoei-
ates OF his resignation.

DECLINED TO TALK.


The President and His Cabinet UnwIlI-
ing to Discuss the Situation.
WASHINGTON, June A representative
Of the Associated Press called at Blaine's
residence shortly after the correspondence
was made public and asked him to supple
ment it with an explanation. Blaine smil-
ingly but deliberately replied: "The cor
respondence explains itself. and l have not
3 word to add to it."
The President was next called upon and
asked II be was willing to say anything re-
gaTding the spondence. His response,
though courteous, was equally emphatic.
He said: Nothing whatever"
The President and Blaine were seemingly
In excellent spirits, and each, after declln-
ing to talk upon the event of the day or its
effect, turned the conversation to other
topics with marked cOmpOsure. Blaine
appearance and manner was specially no.
ticeable as indicative Of feeling of relief
and satisfaction which made him buoyantly
cheerful.
Secretary Foster showed no excitement
over the news Of BlaiRe's resignation, and
declined positively to say anything at pres
ent regarding the political situation.
Attorney General Miller and Secretary
Noble also declined to be interviewed on
the subject. 1t is understood unusual reti-
eenee Of the officers Of the Government is
due to a suggestion from the President that
he preferred the Federal officers to avoid
comment on the subject

The New York Leader Says the Status
Is Not Changed.
Mr. Platt says: THE resignation of Blaine
from the Cabinet practically diSposes Of
the great question involved in this conven-
ti0n. The only serious embarrassment there
has been in the case was the doubt or
fear that Blaine would not accept If nom-
mated. No one now can for a moment
doubt that Blaine will obey the voice of the
great mass of Republicans of the nation
and become their standard bearer. With
this fact settled the result Of next weeks
convention is easy and inevitable. Blaius
is not q candidate and his resignation does
not change his status in that respect. How
ever, never doubted that Blaine would ac-
cept if nominated. He is too good Re-
publican and too much of a patriot to refuse
to heed the almost universal demand of his
party that he should lead them to victory
this year. No accusation OF bad faith or
double dealing can be made against Blaine.
His letter OF withdrawal was written be-
fore Tie election of any delegates to this
convention. The President had c.eaI
field and a majority of the delegates elected
10 Minneapolis were opposed to the nOmina-
tion of Harrison on the ground Of uuaVail-
ability. Blaine is simply yielding to the
overwhelming sentiment Of the Republicans
Of every State in the Union"
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1892-06-05

After the reception the President re-
turned 10 the library, addressed a letter to
Blaine accepting the resignation and gave
It TO Private Secretary Haford, with in
Btruetions to deliver il at once. HalfOrd took
it TO Blaine's house and placed it in his
hands. This was the whole transaction.
The President had hardly finished his
luncheon when he was visited by Secre-
tsrles Elkins, Rusk, Noble and Foster and
Attorney-GeneTal Miller. all anxious to
know the facts concerning Blaine's resigna-
ton. During the informal conference which
followed the President told his Cabinet wha.
had happened, and suggested, in the inter-
est of harmony and good taste. that they
make no public comments upon the situa-
ton. Secretary Elkins' statement was
made before he had seen the President.
During the afternoon the President sent
word to the State Department that he de-
sired to see Assistant Seer tary Wharton.
The latter Immediately went to the White
house, and the President advised him
Blaine's resignation and Of his desire that
Wharton act as Secretary of State for the
present.
