VOTERS, READ AND CONSIDER.

The Phoenix Herald rises to remark: Governor Murphy insisted that the territorial bonds should be sold at par and they were sold at par, thereby sav- ing ,000 to the territory on the first S1 100000 of bonds sold; again, the sale of those bonds saved S45,OOO per year in in interest, both due to the energy of N. O. Murphy. Here is total of S120, 900 saved to Arizona the first year at cost of not one per cent. and the amount of bonds sold. Not bank in the United States, not money broker in the United States would have undertaken to place those bonds at double that cost.
 The amount of bonds sold by the loan commission was s2,OOO,OOO; the ex- penses incurred were in placing those S2000,000 Of bonds. By the assumption of Attorney General Heney that he was the territorial government when the Hughes administration came in, ard that he could force capitalists to do as he wished, the sale of half million of these bonds was lost 10 the territory, the purchasers utterly refusing to touch them under Heney's manipulation. One- fourth of the entire cost of the Sl, 300, 900 of the bonds of the territory is therefore directly chargeable to the present dem- ocratic administration, manipulated by the attorney general. Let the voters of the territory contemplate thts fact care- fully.

English Law to Accidents.

The term accident" would appear to
be easily defined, but the late Lord Chief
Justice Cockburn thought not, and on
several occasions insurance companies
have sought definition in the courts of
law. It has been decided that sun
stroke is not an accident, but that injury
10 the spine through lifting heavy
weight is one. Even if physical ailments
contribute to an accident, it is covered by
the policy. The relatives of a man who,
while bathing in shallow water. was
seized with a fit and suf1oeated, sustained
their claim, as did those of a man who,
when similarly seized, fell under train
and was killed. Again, a person having
fallen and disiocated his shoulder was
nut to bed and carefully nursed, but in
less than a month he died of pneumonia.
The connection between that complaint
and a dislocated shoulder is not at once
visible. but on the ground that the rest
lessness and susceptibility to cold pro-
duced by the accident led to the disease
which killed him, the relatives were held
to be entitled to claim. 1.-The influence of
intoxicating liquor" has been authorita-
lively defined as ''inhuence which dis
turbs the balance Of mans mind or the
intelligent exercise OF his faculties" and
injuries received while in that condition
are not covered by an accident policy

The Nictheroy, America and Aurora

THE HAWAIIAN SITUATION.

Expectation that Another Message
Will be Sent to Congress.
WAsHIN GToN, Jan. MANY Congress-
men expect that the President will send
another Hawaiian message to Congress
tomorrow. In such a case the intorma-
ton so eagerly awaited would be few
hours ahead of the arrival of the steamer
which left Honolulu for Vancouver JAN
uary 1st, and the City of Peking, which
sailed for San Francisco January I'd, both
due Tuesday. 1t is the belief that the
President would prefer to communicate
the news rather than have it come
through unofficial sources by steamers as
to the situation, rather than have the
news made public through the incoming
steamers.
Secretary Gresham was not accessible
tonight, and it has been impossible to
learn from him or other officials the status
of the question. At the Secretary's hotel
it was stated that he was at the White
House, but on inquiry there it was denied
that he was in the house. 1t was believed,
however, that the Secretary spent con-
siderable time with the President to-day
in discussing the Hawaiian situation.
A wild rumOr here tonight, which can
not be traced to any reliable source, is
that Minister Willis is aboard the Cor
win, and that he was given his passport
by the Provisional Government. The
rumor is received with no credence here,
and the State Department officials charac-
teriZe it as falSitication.

Rev. Thomas Murphy. Temperance
orator, related the following story at
Prohibition meeting in Worcester, Mass,
recently:
y man once came home at 2 or 3 O'Clock
in the morning, and his wife, who was
waiting for him and ready to jump on
him, finally induced him to say that he
would sign the pledge. The man meant
to keep his word but he went into sa
loon to see q man, and when he went
home at night he stopped at the gate and
took out his night key, thinking he was
at the door. His wife saw him and took
him in the house and tried to get him to
go to bed, but he had what you might
call an oratorical jag, and she had a hard
time over it. But finally he went to bed,
and to sleep. When he woke up in the
morning he did not recollect anything
about the jag of tho night before. tie put
on a bold front and went down stairs. HIS
wife met him as he came down, and said
to him 1eproachfully
You promised not to drink any more"
"And [ am happy to inform you that /
have kept my PROMISE" said the man
with unblushing etfrontery.
George" said his wife, you were very
drunk, for you tried to open the gate with
your latch key"
''Oh, L think you are mistaken; this is
hyberbole."
'And as you came into the parlor you
stumbled aud nearly fell over Hover in
the carpet on the floor"
This is not true.'
And a fly was on the wall, the last fly
of the fall, and you said, pointing to it:
1 guess will hang my coat and hat on
that nail over there'''
''Y ou must have been dreaming
Not at all, for here is a $40 gold piece
you gave me yourself to buy "a new bon
net with"
II do remember part of that"
And you insisted on seeing your
mother-in-law. You wouldn't 60 to bed
before you saw the old lady, and when
she came down stairs you put your arms
around her and said: 'Mother-in-law,
you shall never leave this house,"
did l do that?''
Yes, all of it,
''Then must have been very drunk"

HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS.
Rumor That Willis Has Been Given
His Passports.


SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 7. A rumor
telegraphed from Washington to the eff
feet that Minister Willis had been given
his passports by the Provisional Govern
meDt, and that he arrived at this port on
the Corwin is current here. Though it is
considered quite probable that the Minis
ter had been rendered his passports, it is
not believed he is on board the Corwin
now or that he was a passenger on her.
The unprecedented action of the Corwin s
officers, however, might indicate the
truth of the story, for it is certain they
are concealing some important fact from
the public, and may be the Minister to
Hawaii is hidden in the cutters cabin.
When the Corwin steamed in through
the Golden Gate her commander refused
to receive even officers of the revenue
patrol steamer Hartley, telling them that
they were not wanted.
The cutter then changed her course and
steamed south, approaching the shore,
and at point off Harbor View a small
boat was lowered and q man sent ashore.
This individual was never seen by any
newspaper man, nor was he recognized
by anyone else. 1t was supposed, how
ever, that the man put ashore was an Of
fcer of the cutter with dispatches for the
Washington authorities. As soon as the
cutters smallboat returned from shore
the Corwin steamed directly across the
channel to Sausalito and thence to San
Quentin, where she now lies. No one
else has left her, SO far as known. If
Minister Willis was the man put ashore,
a careful search has failed to bring his
whereabouts to light. 1t is an almost.
foregone conclusion, however that Min
lister Willis would not sail from Homo
lulu and leave Mrs. Willis behind. That
she has not landed here is almost beyond
doubt; nor is it believed that any woman
is on board the Corwin. else a glimpse of
her would have been had by the news
paper reporters who have closely watched
the cutter since her appearance in the
harbor. The story from Washington
finds few believers here.
