Arizona is literally covered with
the ruins Of strange habitations.
Most Of them are constructed Of con
crete or adobe and the mystery about
them is the identity Of the people
who designed them How they could
be built is not a matter Of conjecture,
as the materials are close at hand.
But there is one ruin although still
in a good state Of preservation, that
is a mystery, no matter in what light
ii is considered.
1t is in the Huachucha mountains,
not far from the military reservation,
in a northeaStera direction Nothing
is known Of its rigin, and the Won
dcrfu part is the material Of which
it is constructed
1t is about two hundred miles from
the ocean, and surrounded on all
sides hv hills Of sand and rocks GOV
cred with cacti There is no water
for miles, except the excuses for riV-
c,s that run during the rainy season.
There is not even a suggestion Of
water, aud vet the house IS built ~
sea shells Land ina sort Of cement.
Where the shells were obtained is
a mystery hat may never be solved.
II does not seem possible that the
builder Of the house would carry the
material over hundreds Of miles Of
desert when there were plenty of
rocks near by that would answer the
purpose Just as well, even though

them half an inch thick, lnying the
slices in the flour as they are cut and
turning them over to cover them with

The check which my plans have thus encountered has prevented their presentation to the members of the provisional government, while unfortunate public misrep- resentations of the situation and exaggerated statements of the sentiments of our people have obviously injured the prospects of suc- cessful executive mediation.
 I therefore submit this communication with its accompanying exhibits, embracing Mir. Blount's report, the evidence and statements taken by him at Honolulu, the instructions given to both Mir. Blount and Minister Willis and correspondence connected with the affair in hand.
 In commenting this subject to the extended powers and wide discretion O. the congress, desire to add the assurance that l shall be much gratifed to cooperate in any legislative plan which may be devised for the solution of the problem before us which is consistent with American honor, integrity and morality.
 The state department correspondence on the Hawaiian question which was transmit ted is an immense volume of official dis patches, part of which has already been published.
 The message and accompanying docu- ments are now before the senate, the pend- ing question being on the motion of MT. Hoar of Massachusetts to refer them to the committee on foreign relations.
 The fight over the Hawaiian matter in the house followed fast and furious on the heels of the reading of the message, which was delayed on account of the pension de- bate. The first skirmish occurred over the question of reading the instructions to Minister Willis, which was insisted upon by Mr. Boutelle of Maine. The house final ly agreed to this, and immediately after the conclusion of the reading MT. Boutelle renewed the assault by bringing forward a resolution declaring the administrators policy inconsistent with the spirit of the constitution and the traditions of the gov ernment
 Great excitement reigned, and in the confusion Mir. Boutelle failed to follow up his parliamentary advantage and was ruled out of order. The resolution of MT. Cochran for the appointment of 6 commit tee of seven to investigate the alleged fn- vasion of the territorial Integrity of the United States by the last administration also went down under a retaiiatory objec- tion from Mr. Boutelle
 The Republicans refused to vote on the motion to go into committee. and it result ed in IA to Ono quorum-and at 4:55 the house adjourned. After the speaker had adjourned the house MT. Boutelle tried to call for a division. As he saw the speaker descend the rostrum he began to shout amid the cheers and hootings of the galleries. But the noise was SO loud that not sylla- ble he uttered could be heard.
 The confusion was so great that the ser geant-at-arms was called in to preserve or der. Party feeling ran very high at the close of the session, and there is no doubt that the struggle will be continued as soon as opportunity offers in the house today.

Mir Roderick, the defendants counsel, will have to make out a case of reasonable d oubt before an order allowing the appeal can be obtained. Judge Barnard's judg- ment will also have to be first filed with the county clerk. It is understood that Colonel Lamb and Jerry Vein berg will op- pose the motion for a stay of judgment. They decline to express any opinion in re- gard to Judge Barnard's decision.
 When the extraordinary grand jury is convened, they may find an indictment for criminal contempt against McKane, Jus tice Newton and their associates. The sen tence, if there is a conviction, may be for one years imprisonment and a fine of not more than $500.
 Lawyer Roderick says that the convic- ton against Justice Newton will not affect him in his judicial capacity. All the friends of McKane express the greatest sur- prise at the decision, while Mir. Groute, Colonel Bacon and the others who were st- tackled by the police at Gravesend are open ly rejoicing at the result of the prosecution.
