Ex-Gov. IRWIN, of Arizona, pays the following tribute to the intelli- gence of the people of Arizona, in the North American Review: The people of Arizona understand Amer ican institutions and are much bet terrified for self-government and for taking part in the choice of pres. ident, senators and representatives than the majority of voters in new York and other large cities. In fact, as against visitors pouring into our ports from Europe-ignorant of our institutions, our customs, our laws and even our language-the almost purely American Territory of Ari- zona should be admitted into the Union as a self-preserving counter balance.

The outlook for the cattle busi- ness in this county is decidedly gloomy. The rainfall has not yet amounted to an inch, and the late- ness of the season almost precludes the hope of much more. Cattle are reported to be dying in many sec tions from shortness of feed and consequent disease. Some cattle men report the loss of one third of their remaining stock up to date. The cattle supplying the local mar ket are all from the Salt River val ley and the desert ranges.-Yuma Times.

Affairs in Hawaii.

San Francisco, March 16.-Cor.
 respondence of the Associated
 Press.
 Honolulu, March 9-If the friends
 of annexation were elated on receipt
 of the news brought by the steam
 ships China and Honolulu on the 2Oth and 22d of February, they were correspondingly depressed when the Belgic put into Honolulu unexpect- edly March 2, and it was found that the treaty consummated by Secre- tary Foster and the Hawaiian com missioners had not reached a vote in the United States senate. The disappointment of the American party in the islands was a source of much qualification to the roy alists, and it was not late in the day before the assertions were boldly made that annexation was an i'm possibility, and that the new con- gress would carry out the policy of opposition to acquiring foreign ter ritory, and would recognize the au- tonomy of Hawaii, at least to the extent of agreeing to the accession of Kaiulani, supported possibly by an Americon protectorate. The published letter of Secretary Foster to Minister Stevens. from their point of view sustained the adher- ents of monarchial rule in the be- lief that the course Stevens and Capt. Wiltz, of the cruiser Boston, was not countenanced by the Wash ington government. It was subse- quently pointed out to them that the flag of the United States had not been hauled down from the place over the government building, as would have followed the official disayowal of the temporary protec- torate established under the pres- sure of the menacing policy of the British minister. Minister Stevens when seen by the Associated Press correspondent, expressed himself as perfectly satisfied with the con- tents of Secretary Fosters letter.

Jim Talks.

Indianapolis, Ind., March IT, Champion Jim Corbett is in town. In an interview today he said: "I think that only good men can com- pete for the large purses now being offered. I think that the Crescent City club was foolish to offer $40,- 900 for two Australians. Nobody cared much who won."
 Asked what was the lowest purse he would fight for, Corbett said |: "We have two offers, one $75,000, the other $SO,O0O. Either would be acceptable. But I am not going to fight for any small amount.
 "The fight between Mitchell and myself" he said, twill be the first international fight that has ever taken place in this country where people could set down and see it as if they were in a theater."
 Of Mitchell he said "I never saw him fight, but I know him to be tricky, a hard hitter and a good gen. eral. He will be the first man I eyer fought anywhere near my own weight. The fight between us will be hard one and is likely to last long.
 Sullivan will never fight again. He's done and it's no use crying about it. I shall train four mouths before the fight with Mitchell. I don't have to come to terms with any club. They must come to mine. I do not blow in my money and I am more independent than the clubs. 1 have more money than any of them and I don't propose to fight for @ cent less than I am worth"

The female suffrage bill before the council should be amended before being passed. It should take the franchise away from men entirely and place the problems of state in the hands of the women exclusive ly. This will be the natural outcome of the bill if it passes in it's present state. The problem will be simply this: If women and men are placed on an equal footing before the law, how long will it be before the former will exclude the latter from the po- litical arena? Every man who is half man knows that it will be but a matter of very few years. A mans gallantry will cause him to retire from the field in favor of the gentler sex. No man would be so lost to shame as to interfere with a nominating convention in which women took part. No boy would go to the primaries and vote for 6 delegate whom his mother opposed; no model husband would antago- nlze the partner of his joys and sorrows by opposing her wishes in the field of politics more than in the home circle. Model husbands and loving sons are in the great majori- ty in this world, all arguments to the contrary notwithstanding. Let the members of the council act like men and place in the hands of the women of Arizona that which will in time be theirs by conquest. En- franchise the women, disfranchise the men, Let the news of this ad- vanced step be heralded to the world, and before the year 1900 the state of Arizona will blossom like the rose and standing room only" will be hung on the outer gates of our dreamland.-Prospector.

The railroad company has adopt ed a new feature for the further protection of their road bed through the river bottom west of town. For a distance of 5 miles the grade is from 4 to 15 feet high. Both sides of the embankment the whole dis. tance is being seeded with Bermuda grass. This plant takes root readi. ly, grows fast and makes a tough mating of roots. The protection afforded it is believed will prevent the banks from washing in time oi high water. Nothing else can grow where the grass gets 8 start, as il crowds out everything. About 300 pounds of seed, costing $1 pound, will be required for the job.-Yuma Times.

The new strike is said to be equally as rich as the Red Buck, with a much stronger vein. Arrangements are being made by owners of the Red Buck to erect a 10-stamp mill at that point Prescott Courier.

A Mammoth Cave.

A small opening the size of mans body attracted the curiosity of a boy on the west end of the Huachuca mountains about a month ago, and he crawled in far enough to see a big chamber beyond and came away. No one seemed to be interested in the lads story until Lewis Bodecker came along. He promised to go and see the new find.
 In company with a companion and the lad they soon came to the spot and began the work of explor- ation. They had secured all of the rope on the Igo ranch and fasten- ing It together made it fast to a bush at the mouth of the opening and began their exploration. Their rope was 1900 feet long and they carefully felt their way, holding on to the rope until they could go no further.
 The description given of the sight that met their eyes would excite the tamest imagination. At times the cave would narrow down to a small entrance, and again it's extent could not be estimated with the aid of candles The formation Is lime and the most fantastical shapes of stall agmites and stalactites cover the roof and floor. The sides are most beautifully decorated with snowy white frosting of most delicate tex ture. The cave winds around and down in a careless way that makes it a continual change of wonder ment and beauty. MT. Bodecker describes the scene as sublime and grand in the extreme. The party was three hours in getting to the end of their rope.
 Inside of the cave and near it's mouth were found many pieces of pottery and pieces of ollas. There were several small piles of bones that had the appearance of hay ing been burned. Several pieces were found in good state of preser- vation which were those of human beings. The place had the appear ance of an Indian burying ground.
 Preparations are being made for a further exploration on larger scale, and MT. Bodecker has prom ised the Prospector full account of his next trip through the cave.
 The location of the cave is about one mile from Igo's ranch house and was obscured from casual ob- servation by a clump of bushes. It is probable that it would have re mained undiscovered for years had It not have been for the curiosity of boy-Prospector.

When the new issue will be made is uncertain, but probably soon.-Tucson Star.
