An interesting letter was received
yesterday from DR.. III. A. Hughes, who
is now at Washington. Concerning
the matter of statehood he says:
81 have talked to several prominent
politicians and public men in regard to
statehood for Arizona, but the senti-
ment among eastern men is that the
west has too many representatives in
the senate now and az they expect
silver mem from Arizona, fear that
sentiment will be in the way OF the adj
mission of the territory. / have quite

suit to Mexico, he recounted Consul
Arce's indifference and demanded OF
President Diaz that he be recalled. He
next proceeded to assail the consul and
his family. In short the editorial was
vituperative rather than patriotic and
was highly provocative of a personal
encounter. The article came to the
notice of the consul's son Yesterday and
after consultation with friends he Wis
tied Senior Silva. Without demanding
other satisfaction he challenged the
editor to an Immediate bloody duel and
offered him tlattering inducements in
the matter OF a choice of weapons, dis
lance, position, etc. In fact he left to
Senior Silva the entire conduct OF the
affair except the arrangement OF the
time, which must be right now. The
editor of Ell Mexicano Republican, de-
clined to fight and persisted in his
refusal in spite OF Senior Arce's
impetuosity OF gesture and language.
At last the editor was driven to consult
with his friends with the result that he
decided to accept the challenge on the
condition that his funeral expenses were
to be paid by them should the issue Of
the meeting be unlucky for him.
BY this time Senior Arce's heat had
moderated and he had decided to take
no further notice of Ell Mexicano Re-
publicano's structures upon the con-
sulate. That's how it stands now and
in the meantime the Gringo manu-
facturer will be permitted to 60 on
counterfeiting the Mexican seal or any
other seal that will secure for his
chili-con-carne the biggest trade.

SET THE CHILDREN TO WORK.
An Ingenious EDglishmsn Who Combined
Swing and Much Needed Pump.

An Ingenious EDglishmsn Who Combined
Swing and a Much Needed Pump.
An English writer on inventive
geniuses tells story of a certain August
Pirch, who is the possessor of a dozen
fine healthy children. Mr.. Pirch, so the
story goes, had tract of land that could
not be used for the want of water, since
it was far from any available stream
or other body which might prove of use
in the fertilization of his acres, and how
to irrigate the land without spending
large sum of money was a mystery
which. for long time Mr.. Pirch could
not solve. He figured out the cost of
well, and found that his resources would
permit of his digging sixty-foot well
and the purchase of a cheap pump, but
how to make the pump work was a
question. Suddenly his inventive mind
suggested solution. He remembered
his children and he also called to mind
a certain large family swing he had
seen in neighboring town. He knew
the swing would please the children,
and he hoped through it their pleasure
might be able to serve his interests.
The well was bored, the pump was set
up and the swing was put in working
order.
"Here, now, boys" said he, when all
was ready, calling the children to him,
come out here and get in this swing
I'm going to give you something to play
with"
In five minutes the children were fly
ing backward and forward through the
air The pump worked up and down
gayly as you please and fourteen-inch
stream of water flowed from the well.
Mr.. Pirch'S scheme had worked. The
children do not know they are working,
as the swing is some distance from the
well and is connected with it by an iron
rod which works the pump as the swing
moves backward and forward. The
scheme has worked well, and it is said
that the youngsters pump enough water
during their days sport to irrigate a
large tract-Harper's Young People.

CHILLI CON CARNE
Nearly Fatal to Two
Phoenix Residents.
Not as a Diet But as a
Cause of Quarrel,
Which Almost Rises to the
Seriousness of Duel.
Yankee Enterprise Creates III Feel
Ing Between the Mexican Con-
sulate and an Editor.

A duel growing out OF dispute con.
cerning an international affair, was
narrowly averted yesterday. The
parties TO the trouble were Nkessrs. r 4.
Silva, editor of Ell Mexicano Repub-
lcanO, and Benjamin Arce, son OF the
Mexican consul to Phoenix.
The affair may be said to have had
ito origin in a visit by Mr.. Silva to a
grocery store, where he purchased a
can Of chili-con -carne, and observed
thst though it was the product OF a
Chicago factory, it bore the seal and
arms q the Republic OF Mexico.
Though Senior Silva's relations to the
Mexican government are such, that il is
unsafe for him TO cro0s the line, he still
iee: q patriotic interest In the insignia
Oiihs southern republic, and naturally
regarded it's reproduction by Yankee
Manufacturer as dissertation calculat-
edtOensnare the Mexican people resid.
llg in this country, and who create for
The most part the demand for chili-con-
tarne, 1t appeared to Senior Silva that
twas matter occurring The interior
ence OF Mexican representatives in the
United States, and ne accordingly called
TIE attention of Consul Arce to il. He
did more; he supplied the consul with
80 unopened can OF chili-con.carne of
the objectionable brand, and thinking
ne had set in motion the machinery for
nshtlng his country's wrongs, patiently
awaited developments.
After reasonable time had elapsed
Senior Silva again called on the consul
70 inquire what had been done. Con-
col Arce informed him that the chill
Goa earne had been eaten and notwith-
Standing the reprehensible conduct OF
me Gringo manufacturer in advertising
dis goods by means OF the Mexican
arms, the contents OF the can were ex-
celent, so good IN fact that the fault
which formed the basis of Senior Silva's
complaint was fully atoned. Beside
me consul believed that Senior Silva
mad not proceeded regularly in prefer
,efrlng his complaint; 1t should have
Oeen accompanied by documentary
proofs whereas none had been offered
except the label which was attached to
we can by means of paste of sucn an
extremely adhesive character that the
laOeI could not be removed and filed
properly. Senior Silva gathered from
'Ae consu's remarks that the official
was "guying" him and was expressing
himself tippantly in weigh5y inter-
national matter.

SCOTTY GOES FREE
And Goes To Work With the Man He
Robbed.

BY combination OF circumstance
Scotty, the man arrested night before
last for robbing J. j. Casey was released
Yesterday. The chief circumstance in
his favor was the absence OF Justices
court in this precinct and the author
tiles were unwilling to incur the ex-
pense OF sending the case TO Tempe. In
the next case Mr.. Casey was disposed
to be lenient and said he would be sat
isfed with the recovery Of the money.
Scotty had only $25 but offered to go
home with Mr.. Casey and make the
rest up in labor. The offer was accept
ed and the case was settled.

The boy was silent. SIT should be

The boy remained quiet, but the

fault is mine if the word was mispro-

"But why?" insisted the great man,

look of pain upon his benign features.
