WORK COMMENCED.
A Party of Surveyors at Work on
 the Butte Reservoir Site.

Yesterday evening (Friday) a party of five men, in charge of G. Streitz, civil engineer, arrived in Florence from Mesa City.
 The party left this morning-for the ButteS.
 The purpose of the party, which is working for Dr. A. J. Chandler and his associates, is to survey and make a thorough examination of the basin which would constitute the reservoir to be formed by the building of the dam.
 The party was accompanied from Florence by Professor Edward M. Boggs, of the Territorial University, who goes with the party by request of Dr. Chandler. Professor Boggs, while acting at the request of Dr. Chandler, IS more particularly acting for the people in his capacity as professor in the University, and whatever conclusions he may arrive at, as a result of his examination, will be published.
 It Is calculated that the party will consume three weeks or a month in their examination, the instructions being to make 1t thorough.-Floren- ce Tribune.

THE Gazette accuses Governor Hughes of inconsistency in shouting for home rule for the Territories till he had secured his own appointment and tben importing stre eers to the record, to fill offices under him, notably that of super intendent of the Insane Asylum. To fill this position an Ohio man has bee selected, and the Arizona applicants have bsen left out in the "cold, cold world" Now, while we believe W tn the Gazette, that there is just as good material m Arizona as there IS out of it, for any office there may be within the disposition of the President much less the Governor, the office of superrntend- ent of the Insane Asy lum is a peculiar one about which the Governor may have peculiar ideas, and while We may differ V lth him about the fitnt ss of any par ticular individual for that particular place, We do not thInk his action merits
 he censure that is being heaped uHon him. No situation can be more trying or carry with it greater responsi-
 biitIes than the care of the mental Y un- fo-tunate. If the Governor believes that his Ohio man is better qualified for this trying sition than Dr. Hughes. be is right in giving him the appointment. | IS only when all ih nGs are equal that " belIeve in tying to home rule. In the manageme nt of the Insane Asylum there should be no politics, and appli csnts for the place should be judged ouly by theIr experience and qualihca- tons. We do not, however, say that Dr. Hughes is rot qualified or that Dr. o. L. Mahcney is not one of the vsry best men m the country to be put in charge of the instltui ion, for We believe he is, but the Governor may be Of different way of thinking and as he is fer the successful manage- ment of the asylum We believe in letting him hring d man from Timbuctoo if he wants to.

THE International Monetary Con- ference will not be reconIened until November. ThiSconclusion was reached by tSe administr 4tion at the close of last week, and was the outcome of suggestions made by the representatives of leading European powers, who said that the d of May was not a suitable time for recommepcIng the labors of the conference, and on the other hand, that definite proposition on the silver question should originate with the United States. One consideration which has had weight with the Presi- dent IS that the assembling of the extra session of Congress looked for iu Sep tember will give an opportunity for learning the sentiment of Congress on the silver question. Perhaps the ques- tion of the reassembling of the con- ference may depend on the attitude taken by Congress when it meets.- Bradstreet.

RECENT press dispatches report that Secretary Morton will shortly begin the weeding out process in his department, abolishing in some instances entire di- sions. The secretary pays uncon- scious tribute to the Mckinley tariff when he announces that the animal >guarantine divis;on is no longer needed owing to the greatly decreased importa- tion of animals into the United States. It may be we'll to wait little while be- fore carrying his purpose into execution for, upon the removal of the prese-t duties in thls schedule, our own animal industry w.ll again give place to that of the fore Ign breeders.

The air at once was filled with cries of pain and terror. Almost panic spread to the large audience already gather,d in Washington Hail.
 Assistance vas procured as quickly ss possible and the frightened and dIsabled women were extracted. When all had bsen gotten out, 1t was found tEa! eight were seriously though not fatally hurt Many others were more or less shaken up but not injured enough to requ're assistance in leaving the building. s. far as learn d no prominent member cf the organization was reported hurt The injured were mostly women Y h. cane as spectators chiefly from thus city.

FoR years the proper pronunciation of the word Arkansas was widely disputed and was only put to rest by special act of the legislature of that Sta which made Arkansaw the official pro- nunciation. Now why can not come body of ours, locate and stake out some fixed pronunciation of Tempe" Resi- den's of that estimable and prosperous burg are almost Gaily visitors to Tncson but no two of tEem come from the same place, and it is only by the location of some fixed land mark that their real abode can be discovered. Not infre- quently the same individual will give his hearers an interesting variety to pick from-"Tempy," "Tsmpsy" and "Tempee." Pay your money and take your choice.

 Touching upon the subject of the various conflicting apprehensions and prophecies and portsntous prognostica- tlons that have been eliclied by the occurrence of the somewhat infrequent phenomenon of rain at this time of year. 1t may be interesting to adduce. in this connection, the following date from the meteorological record of this station. embracing a period of IF years: There were ten years of this period in which fell m May, in amounts varying from a mere trace to Al of an inch. The average rainfall for the ten Julys fol- lowing these rainy Mays was 279 inches.
 In the other seven years of the period covered by the record, no rain fell in May, and the average precipitation for the seven Julys following these seven rsinless Mays was 233 inches.
 The greatest precipitation ever re- corded iG any May prior to the current month was Al of an inch Tn 1876; this was followed by 3.04 inches in July.
 May, 1878, had no rain, but it was followed by 5.72 inches in July, which is the greatest amount on record for that month.
 From the foregoing it would seem that the probabilities for more than an average amount of rain in July are slightly greater when that month is pre- ceded by rain in May.
 But 1t IS by DO means improbable that the coincidents above noted are merely accidental, and it is doubtful that they afford any reliable guidance in making predictions for the ensuing months of the present season.

CHRIS MILLAR, the so-called boundary line pedestrian" IS now in San Francisco and has received much favorable attention through the columns
 the papers in that city. Of all the "ilks and frauds that ever passed through Arizona this fellow Mlllar is among the worst. He may be merely a beer swizler oi very comm on order but a liar ot the highest profclercy attain able. He ksows no more about the boundary line of southern Arizona than the boundary line knows about him. When here he claimed to have discov- cred the original name of tne Kid, but he soon found he had to play bigger winning card than tt at for 9 glass of beer in the land of the K G's depreda- tions. He was much concerned about getting photo of the Kid end even ex- pr,ssed preference fer it over a glass of beer. It appesrs, however, that by the time he reached San Francisco be had captured the Kid himself. "BouDdaTy line pedestrian" be mey be, but he never left the railroad for day ID southern Arizona and he never got nearer to the boundary line" thsH 75 miles. Such fellows as MilIar ought to be put in a closed room with Demo- cratic kicker for about ten minutes. He might not lie quite 70 glibly when he came out but he would have 8 heap more sense.

Seizure of Harpers' Magazine.

LONDON. May 1S-Advices from Con ,tantlnople regarding the seizure of Harper's Magazine by the Turkish government on account of alleged i'm morality of contents, state that the seizure was not as first reported be- cause the bo contained poems by Such L-get but probably due to aa article on European armies and the political situation which would not be cons dered objectionable anywhere out slde of the Turkey. The seizure of such as Leget's poems was made separately and both actions were ex- plained as having been taken in the iaterest of morality. Ths Magazine and poems were the property of an Eugllshman residing in Constantin- ople. They were opped and con- fiscated by Turkish customs officials, presumably on advice of the censor.

All About the Rain.

United States Department of Agri- culture, Weather Bureau. Weather crop Bulletin Gf the Arizona Weather Service, for the week ending May 15th, 1893.
 The weather of the past week has been distinguished by the heaviest rain- fail ever experienced in the Territory Tn May, SD far as shown by any accessi- ble records. At Tucson the rain began on the evening of the 10th, and the weather cOntip usd shOwery, with con- siderable thunder and lighting, until the night of the 125h, when there was a very heavy shower, attended with thunder and lightning and hsil. A short distance north and west of the city the fall of hail is reported to have been remarkably heavy No great damage wHs reported as having been done by 1t, and the prob bility IS that it was quite limited III area.
 Reports from aliss- ections indicate that the rain was gen eral throughout the Terri Ory, and while 1t caused some damage to hay wh ch WAS being cured, i, Was, on the who'll, decidedly welcome and immensely beneficial. The streams and reservoirs wrre reuleDished, the

 An especially benign feature of the weather during the recent showery sp,ll was the cloudiness, which was al- most continuous, and with the low tenn peratures that prevailed, constituted conditions unfavOrabler to evaporation, thereby insuring the greatest possible benefit from the moisture, by enabling

THE SILVER QUESTION IN ENG
 LAND.

It is a fact that England is more agi- ta ed over silver thau it has been over any ether subject since Mir. Gladatone's fnt la attempts, when in office before, to Lne newspapers, and mighty bright writers ard speakers are enlisted in behalf of bimetalism. In the Econo- mist of Lond, of Feb. Is, is an article on Silver and Whe t" in reply to an article in which .ha grouUd was as- sumed that "Vhe movements m silver have been the producing cause of the movement of wheat" and the remark is added that "If that had been the case, the commodities would fuctuate in constant accord with one another." MT. GuIlGford l.. Molesworth responds to this, and while deny ing such conclu- sion still goes on to show how clcse has be the general fail in silver and in wheat, pointing out that the average prize of wheat from 1863 to 1878 was 51s 9i per quarter, while from 1878 to 1892 it was but BIS 4d per quarter, and in fur her elaboration supplies the following table:
 Per Quarter. 1888 -92-Average price of wheat BPS 5d 1885 -S7-Average price of wheat 34s Cd 1878 -S2-Average price of wheat 45s Cd 1S73-7S-Average price of wheat 52s Cd 1S63-72 Average price of wheat 51s 4d aud then proceeds to say:
 "Ibis table shows the average ktsbi- llty cf the prlce o. Wi eat up to 1877, in contrast with the continuous for from 1878 % 1892.
 Fluctuations must necessarily O cur ip isolated ns!ances, from t,me to time as the results of relative scarcity or tbund- ance of any particular commodity, but it is an undeniab.e fact that, taking prices as measured by gold, as whole since 1873 there has been a m st ex traordinary coinciC eLce in this fall of silver and commodities, a coinc dence too marvellous to be RG ciden;al."
