THE LAST MEETING
Of the Worlds Fair Board This
 Side of Chicago.
Commissioner Barnes Says Arizo- mas Mineral Display Is With
 out a Rival.

An important business meeting of the worlds fair board was held in the terri torial library rooms yesterday after noon. There were present vice-Presi- dent Will c. Barnes. Treasurer R. c. Brown, Acting Secretary H. c. Boone and Mir. W. K. Meade. The meeting was a purely business affair and was devoted for the most part to auditing the bills of expenses incurred at Chi. cago and winch had been presented to the board for the first time. All the financial business of the board was finished to date.
 The next meeting of the board will likely be held at Chicago.
 Mir. Barnes, who has recently re- turned fro n the worlds fair city, gays that when he left on May l3 the terri torial building had been completed and Arizona's exhibit was in excellent shape. The territory's mineral display surpasses that all other sectIons l. is more tastiiy arrahged, is more complete and is attracting a great deal more at. tention than the display from any other section.

LOCAL BRIEFS.

United States Marshal Meade will enter upon the duties of his office to-. day.
 w. D. Dougherty, otherwise known as "Monte," was yesterday given five days for drunkenness and disturbance of the peace.
 Clay Gooding arrived in the city this morning from Los Angeles where he has been at school. The latter part of the week he will leave with his parents on an extensive eastern tour.
 The noisiest crowd seen in Sou heren Arizona since the Apaches were put on the reservation was the members of a juvenile hay ride party which paraded the streets yesterday afternoon. The clamor though was not annoying but furnished as much enjoyment as a circus parade.
 Dave Goldberg and Ed Peoples re- turned last night from an extended prospecting tour on Castle Creek. They bring in some fine specimens and report that prospectors are making many locations on claims that promise to be remunerative. The hot eprings are well patronized at present and many Ph9nix people are bathing in the charmed waters which restores old age to youth and makes sprinters out of rheumatics.

JUST SAVED HIMSELF.
How Phil Wharton Escaped
 Deportation.
Thrilling Experience Night Befor e Last With a Cargo of Contra
 band Chinese.

Phil Wharton returned to the city yesterday morning after a three months absence at Los Angeles and on account of narrow escape from dis aster on his return he has determined to remain at home. MT. Wharton came near falling victim to the Geary ex- clusion act.
 It happened in this way. At Yuma Mir. Wharton's train was delayed more than an hour and in the course of his stay there he met Robinson, Converse and other newspaper men. When finally the train was ready to pull out his friends tried to detain him. After the last coach had passed Mir. Wharton succeeded in eluding his captors and managed to reach the rear platform of the coach. It happened that this coach as well as the two forward ones were filled with 300 Chinese, who had been landed in San Francisco in violation of the law, but instead of their deporta- tion, an arrangement had been made by the SIX Companies by which they were to be taken across the country to New Orleans, whence they will be shipped to Cuba. They were in charge of government officials and the doors of the cars occupied by them were kept locked and guarded.
 MT. Wharton feared that he would be- come associated with the Mongolians in the darkness and he drew dismal picture in his mind of residence as a coolie on Cuban sugar plantation. It seemed to him the train would never reach a s'ation. It's supply of wood and water seemed to be inexhaustible. He wondered if a stop would be made this side of New Orleans. He was just closing prayer for washout, col lision, a burning bridge or some other disaster that might counteract the danger of his deportation, when the train pulled up at small station. MT. Wharton sneaked off the platform, found a seat in the smoker and felt that he had violated the Geary law and thereby incurred the enmity of the supreme court of the United States.
