4 London cablsgram published in the Examiner states that Senator Tel lsr's resolution in favor of an interns- tional metallic conference has elicited the approval of number of leading nswspapars there, and among Treasury officials, Goshsn's rssdiness to support such conference is accepted as fact
 If the American Government makes any definite proposals which offer some prospect of an international agreement on the subject Goshen will send dele gates to represent EnglAnd's Acquies- csncs in tho proposition. His assent implies that of Germany. The Ger mEn Government is now waiting for England to lead the way. The main difficulty to be encountered will be the extent of the csncsssiohs to which Goschsn viii consent and which would give the confsrenca some chance of sr- irving at an agreement upon Tsller's resolution.

rME ARrssNA NATURAL BnIDeE.

A correspondent of the Phnnix Her ald contributes very readable letter on the Natural Bridge, one of the won ders of Arizona, situated on Pine Creek, in northern Gila county, just under the rim rock of the Mogollon mountains, and the home of David Gowan. The arch of the bridge is about 400 feet in length and the dyke which forms it ex- tends in sweeping curve up the right side of the stream, and together with the bridge proper affords surface ares of about 100 acres of fertile land, a large portion of which Is under cuitiva- tion. The soil is so rich and warm from the almost tspid spring waters that it produces almost everything. From a small mineral spring he takes water that is natural yeast powder.
 The sides of the canyon are lined with trees and shrubs which, according to the U. $. Botanist, number 457 va rieties including the wild capri fig. On the vary top of the bridge iN an orch, ard of many kinds of fruit Through a holS in the center of the arch one can look down slc fest into the crystal pool below. Looking mp from the bot tom of the canyon the grandeur of the scene grows, Above like the grained arches of some mighty cathedral tho roof of tho bridge hangs over you.
 Natures architect was not content to
 simply build the bridge but ho has
 frsscoed figures modelled ih the solid
 rock and colored with ths softest hints
 of earth and sky. Below where the
 pools are deep the water sparkles in
 the sunshine, lovely shade of emerald green, The scene is now perfect,
 Looking out at the ends of the bridge

 About the centre on the western wal there is large basin shaped rsces: which Gowan calls the band stand Here, when the propsr time comes Gil mours band will entertain the crowd, below. Gowan proposes, some time to utilize the water power to general,
 electricity to illuminate the whole place by night. Through the hols in th' roof he will turn 250 inches of water tC spray itself into constant, yet evsl changing rainbow Far above us il , the walls of tho canyon are ssyers caves and in these iHnumsrable bee store the sweets of the mountain flow

 As we pass up the stream daint! maiden hair ferns nod us welcome iron the shady hooks near the waters edge a Here the water from the springs aboy' S falls into the creek and mixes with tn, ] other water. Any object placed in i , soon becomes coated with hmestonr , and if left alone long enough the origi | nal disappears and the lima rock take ' it's place.

CRiis ON THE ALERT,

News comes from Washington of the intention of Chile to occupy the Strait of Magellan, strategic point with ships of heavy armament. It therefore be- comes matter of interest to the gen eral reader to know in what particular the strait, at this iuncture, is impor- tant, It is 300 miles in length and varies in width from five to thirty miles. The occupation of that channel by Chile would nscessitsto detour of our ships from the Atlantic around Caps Horn, the most southsrly point of America, always dangerous voyage, of 500 miles to reach Valparaiso. It is now reported that the Miantonomah will be sent to guard the Strait of Ma gsllsn, in which the Chilean cruisers will find an antagonist worthy of their steel.
 One theory is that it is the desire of the Chilean Government to afford am pie protection to it's import and coal aud supply station at Porto Cabsllo, in the strai. The capture of this station would be a seriou1 blow to Chile, and might ultimately be made the object oi campaign in southern waters in tho case of hostilitios,
 Blaine, in view of the situation i' pressing upon Congress the necessity of completing the Nicaragua ship canal The entire distance from the Atlantic to the Pacific is lS0i miles and full sd vantage being taken of lake and river 61i miles of tho total length would fsl to the canal. This project of course can not avail us in the present emsr gSncy, but nevertheless, is viewed a necessity for the protection of oui extensive seAboard and thus avoiding the necessity of dual navy, one upol the Atlantic and another upon the Pa cific. By reason of the canal, ships ol either ocean, when required, could ac in conjunction.
 The importance of the Nicaragua waterway can not be better illustrate, than by stating the distance from SaI Francisco to New York around Cap Horn is 15, 66O miles; by way of tn canal it will be only 4,9O7 miles, mak ing saving of 10, 753 miles, or nsarl. half the distance around the globe The Construction Company has dread. expended between S4,00O, ,000 and S5, 900, 900 on the canal, and work is pro gressing steadily. The estimate of tn total cost made by the engineers S65, ,O0O, O00 Ths Suez canal, whicI cost S10O, ,000, 900, has bsen paying net revenus of over SIP, ,OOO, 900 for number of years, and the traffic throug the Nicaragua cut would be vastl greater than that which goes throug Susz.

Ths Graham County Bulletin of Jan uary 18th places the delinquent tax list of that county at little over forty thousand dollars, or about two-thirds of the total amount of the tax roll. The counties of Arizona generally are largely delinquent, but it will not sl- ways be so. Unhappily, however, VIC are unable to fx the date where they can show an equally poissd balance sheet. Statehood, it is argued by those who favor it, will set all things even, and whom statehood is fully in- augursted the sands of every river and spring branch in Arizona, as in the river PActolus, will turn to gold.

me. Which reward will you take

heroic rescuer, thinking thereby to get
both the girl and the money.

grateful father. 81 could not have given

ON THE WRONG ROAD.

Cleveland Leader.
Taxpayers and all voters should con-
slider seriously whittier the prevailing
mania for local legislation by the General
Assembly of Ohio is leading. Bills are
passed for the regulation of the pay and
hours of labor of the employees of
municipalities, as if the arrangement of
such matters could be left to the author
tiles of the cities which alone are
concerned. 1t is as if the bCard of
directors of great railroad company
should hold meeting to fix the hours
of labor or the pay of the section hands
ON one little piece of the compSny's
lines. What is the logical conclusion
of such usurpation of the natural pre-
negatives and duties of the local officials,
who are held responsible for the efficient
administration of the departments under
their charge? The principle is exactly
the same whether the hours of firemen
or of the man who runs the elevator in
the City Hall are fixed by act of the
Legislature, and there is no essential
difference between bill compelling
Cleveland to pay policemen a certain
yearly salary and another regulating the
kind of cloth their uniforms must be
made of. The whole principle is wrong.
The adjusting of the details of home
government is the kind of home rule
prescribed by common sense and sound
public policy. 1t was fundamental
part of the institution established by
the founders of the nation, and the
numerous departures recently made
from the good old path have been
fruitful of many scandals and other
ills.

WHY WAS HE BRAVE?

Detroit Free Press.
"The soldier is always more of less
brave" remarked the veteran, "and even
when he is not inclined to heroism he
will, when the tug of war comes, rise
superior to himself and do great deeds
of valor. It's funny to hear man that
you know will go right up to a cannon's
mouth when it is loaded to the muzzle
and man standing at the vent ready to
pull the string, express his feelings when
the spirit isn't moving him.
"Once when we were down there be-
fore Petersburg, when the shot was tear
ing up the ground in forty places at
once, 1 was lying in safe corner with
a man who had only few hours before
come through perfect rain of fire, car
rying the flag to point where he could
shake it in the enemy's face. We got to
talking about war in general and this
sort of fighting, and said to him:
"If you had your choice would have
war in this way or out in the open, face
to face?"
There's only one way III have war
he said sharply.
"How's that?' asked.
"'Have it over, and that d quick,
he replied, and ten minutes afterward
he was doing deed that won him his
shoulder straps.
