men,. The Mexican legation at Wash

ADMIRAL RENHAhS'S ACTION

Admiral Benham's action in Rio
harbor will commend itself to American
ideas of protecting our interests abroad
There hiss been considerable backing
and filing on the part OF our own naval
commanders and those of foreign powers
at Rio regarding the degree of protec
tion to be afforded foreign merchant
: men in the midst Of hostilities. The
letter of international law, so far as 1t
has letter, would seem 10 be that as
the insurgents have not been recogniz
ed as belligerents they can claim no
recogn tion OF blockade of the port OF
Rio by their squadron. whether 1t be
established off the heads or along the
city froat. Therefore our meu-of-war
would be justified in seeing that Ameri-
can merchantmen have free access TO
the facilities for loading and unloading.
On the other hand, state Of de facto
civil war exists at Rio, with which out
eiders have nothing to do except to look
out for their own interests. liz non
cambatants and neutrals get in the line
Of fire it is at their own ri k
In this conflict of laws Admiral Ben
ham has taken the American side of the
question. He says in effect 20 Admiral
Da Cana that be may shoot where he
likes so be doej not interfere with
American shipping in the pursuit of
legitimate trade. In that case the
United States squadron will do some
shooting. There is little doubt that
the insurgents have purposely so di-
rected a portion of their fire as to
threaten the safety of merchant VESSELS
Thst of course checks commerce and
embargsses Peixoto's government, aside
from any injury to the city. Evidently
Admiral Benham sees the point and has
acted accordingly. This course tnay
inspire the other foreign commanders
to take similar action. The result
would be considerably to circunscribe
the insurgent sphere of activity to the
advantage of both foreign commerce
and the Peixoto government.-S. F

SENATOR TELLER, who has been
quoted by come democrats as favoEinR
the democratic tariff program. sat Gown
very heavily on such statements when
he spoke as follows: The dustrial
depression at present IS fearful. The
situation, fear, will become still worse,
for there is hardly ray of sunshine the
the whola world over. That is what
makes the present program of the demo
cratic party so ridiculously absurd, and
the issue OF bonds amusing. The sec
retary of the treasury estimates the
yearly deficit to be about S78,000,000.
and he proposes TO issue S50,OO0,O 600
worth of bonds to meet the present
needs of the government. 1t Is but
a temporary expedient, drop in the
bucket, and only means further increase
in the public debt, with no provision
for its payment. The tariff thinkers
pr pose to cut down the revenues of the
government almost to a free trade basis.
The effect of this will be to make a
greater deficit aud the consequent need
of issuing more bonds, and therefore the
further increase of the public debt in u
time Of peace. TIL way that the deficit
csn be made up, according to democra-
tic theory, is by increasing import

THE RED AND ORANGE.
The Young Mems Lyceum Cover
Themselves with Glory by Last
Nights Ball.

Red and orange will hereafter be colors
high in favor in Tucson. Last nights
reception of the Young Mems Lyceum
was the bsndsomest social event of the
season. Thoroughout the evening the
remarks of those attending were that
the boys had done beautifully and
deserved great credit for it.
The decorations were elaborats and
tasteful. Palms and peppers furnished
the evergreens while bunting. flags,
Chinese lanterns and notices supplied
the rest. The orchestra were screened
behind palms on the stage.
The attendance was very large, in
part to encourage the young man, but
more for the enjoyment. Tucson society
people were there and active In the
pleasures of the evening.
The music had many new numbers
and some of the chestnut tunes never
before left out were beautifully absent.
In their place we're selections that were
up to date and coed dance music. A
feature was "The Lyceum" schattische,
written for the occasion by Prof. b ehrns,
in charge of the music, 1t was emphati-
caliy encored and well deserved to be.
The music was pretty, while 1t was per-
fection to dance by.
A luncheon was served on the stage
for one hour, of coffee, cake and sand
wiches
The floor could not have been better.
Tha whole occasion was one OF genuine
pleasure and highly creditable to the
young men in charge. 1t was not a
mopey-makiug affair. The receipts
ABOUT balanced thu expenses.
The club giving the reception was
organized several months ago by the
Rev. Mr. McManus. 1t is largely sociai

A $4,000 HOTEL.
It is in a Fair Way for Real.
izati0n.
A Stock Company in Which Home
Capital will be Interested-A Big
Block Beside It Promised.

Tucson will be in the way Of having
the first-class hotel 80 badly needed
here. The enterprise of building one
by a stock company. If possible entirely
of home capital, is now under way. The
lot, facing two streets, has been bonded
for reasonable sum, and the plans are
now in preparation by local architects.
1t is intended that the structure shall
be the best hotel in Arizona by all edds.
1t will be of brick, with galvanized iron
work front, three stories high, with two
or three business placess, an Office and
sample rooms on the first floor, and
fifty bedrooms with parlors, balls,
closets etc., on the second and third
floors. On one corner a handsome
circular tower will be reared, far above
It's surroundings. The estimated cost is
$4,000.
This going through successfully the
finest business block In the city, and
probably in the territory, is promised, to
be erected adjoining.
The promotion of the business is in
the hands of /. A. Shedd. Mr.. Shedd
knows a good deal more of it than he
will tell, but has volunteered the fore
going. He says all looks very favorable
for being put through. The company
building will be stock concern, with
shares at a small figure that all the
home capital possible may be brought
in to realize on its profits.
There is no doubt that it will pay.
Good business sites are always in de-
maad in Tucson, and the first floor will
return pro6tably. A year ago the Com
mercial hotel at Phoenix was rented
for $1,000 a month, and there is no reason
why the Tucson concern should not
return as much for the hotel proper;
Invalids would be a big factor. The
climate seekers would not be less. Even
with the general business depression
over the country and the Worlds fair
to draw all the touring funds of the
well-to do of the east, Tucson had a
great many pleasure seekers this winter.
The hotel at the railroad is always full,
yet the care near are potent bjection.
