A GRAND CANYON rRIP.
How One May Reach the Greatest Won- der of the World Notes and
 Incident By the Way.
TBY THE EDITOR.

Twelve years in Arizona, within a paltry hundred miles Of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. without going to see the wonders 1t contains. has been the experience of the writer. Sight seers and wonder seekers have travelled hundreds. some thousands of miles, to view this mighty and majestic rent in the bosom of the earth and had sung its praises. So much had been told of its wonders, and still so httle did l know of them, that it was decided to accept long stand ing and oft repeated invitation from w w. Bass, and visit and view it for myself.
 On August l7, it was my good fortune and pleasure to join a party composed of the following to view this wonderland: Mrs. Anna E. Me Gowan, Miss Kate l.. Heizer, Miss Ada Diefendorf and MT. Frank $. Emmal. The trip was made by rail to Williams, where the party was taken charge of by w. w. Bas s, proprietor of the Grand Canyon stage line from that point. and from where the journey is made in con- fortable coaches. Mir. Bass break lasted with the party on the morn ing before leaving Williams, and evidently sized up its appetite, a. an extra four horse stage was loaded with provisions and sent in advance, and the grub never came back"
 The first days trip out consists of thirty-two-mile drive, to Cataract Glen, where the road crosses for the fourth and last time Cataract creek, and where an excellent supper awaits the traveller and comfortable sleeping apartments are provided.
 The first incident of the trip worthy of note occurred at this point. A cloud burst had occurred m the mountains above this camp. and Cataract creek, which is usually at this time of year, a dry wash, was on the arrival of the party, raging torrent of surging, foaming muddy water. Twilight was inst deepon- ing into the gloom of night, and the murky waters, as they rolled by with a roar and rush, had an ominous threatening look, and seemed to s1y thus far and no farther shalt thou go.
 The driver of the stage load Of provisions had reached there before and had succeeded in getting across the stream, but his vehicle was hanging on the opposite bank of the stream on an angle of about forty degrees, looking as if it were ready, at any moment, to topple over, and disgorge its precious con tents into the maddened waters A council of war was held, and at the suggestion or our guide and host, it was decided to go further down the stream and attempt to cross. On reaching the spot desig mated, each individual member ot the party got out of the stage, and went down to the banks of the stream and peered through the deep cn'nE aa1 h'acker darkness at the waters, 4 bon fire was built ou tle banks, when. ou the assurance ol Mfr Bass ol tLe perfect salty ga

He is on top again, and to-day throws his lance "full and fair" into the hosts of his party to ask that they nominate him for probate judge. Mir. Rogers has the qualifications to fill the office, and being particularly we'll versed in school matters, would make an excellent official. He was the first teacher of a public school in Pres cOft

W. E. Bancroft, who has taken the responsibility to issue the call for the territorial populist conven- tion, is sanguine fellow to say the least. His call says that among other things the convention is called to do IS to nominate a delegate to congress and councilman-at-large, indicating that he is sure the nom- inees will be elected.

Any one who is any judge what ever of human character could tell by a glimpse of the bullet shaped head and evasive eyes of Tom Parish that he is a very small souled individual. He never made a greater exhibition of his little ness than, whom at the recent democratic convention, he took occasion to indulge in 8 torrent of personal abuse of ex- Governor N. o. Murphy. Even his own party friends admit that his speech was in very poor taste and entirely uncalled for. The conven- tion, at the close of his speech, turned Tommy down by refusing to nominate him for the council.
 Forest fires are said to have destroyo.i large portion of the cranberry crop in Wisconsin. The peat has burned down to the sand in places, to 8 depth of two feet, The peat formed great beds of hot coals, which were ever ready to brighten up when famed by a breeze. Whirl winds took the burning eoals into the air and carried them over the heads of the fire fighters and deposited them 20 and 30 rods away. Many tracts of land will never be used fer growing cranberries again, and as they are almost worthless for any other pur- pose, will, for time, revert to the county.
 The Supai Indians, largely through the influence of W. W. Bass, have abandoned the custom of burn ing their dead together with all the property belonging to them. The Wallapais are as yet divided on the subject but a meeting, between members of that tribe and the Mohaves was held at Needles re- gently to discuss the question and the probability is that both the latter named tribes will soon abolish the custom, or at least that portion of it which includes the burning of the ponies and other property owned by the deceased.
 The Maricopa county democratic con gention endorsed the territorial administration. Governor Hughes should feel highly complimented at this action of the convention, as Governor Zulick failed during his entire administration to receive an endorsement from a convention of his party.
 The Maricopa county democrats defeated Tom Smith and Tom Parish in their aspirations for the terri toriai counci and nominated Emory Rays, of the firm Of Trask & Rays.

In to-dAy's issue E. E. Kirkland submits his name for consideration to the republican county convention as a candidate for county treasurer. Mir. Kirkland's desire to secure the nomination is backed by an almost unanimous wish of his party, and it is only in accordance with such a feeling that he has decided to go before his party convention. The voters of this county will recall MT. Kirklsnd's name from his particlpa- tion in the campaign two years ago, and the manly manner in which he carried himself jhoughout the cou- tesl.

IT IS lNDESCRIDABLE ;!
Grand Beyond Description is What HI Visitors Say Ol the Grand Canyon,
 So SsyI.
Thoughts and Impression Suggested by a
 Look al It's Marvellous kagniaCeaee.
[RT TIE EDIroR.l

lt was on Sunday evening, August 10, that our party got it's first view of the Grand Canyon. The last six or eight miles of the journey were made through a heavy storm, fol- lowed by a steady down pour of rain, and alter ride of over thirty
 miles, the buoyancy of spirits and ardor of the party, had commenced to droop and all were becoming more or less visibly affected by the gloom of their surroundings. The , road led through thick forest of scraggy cedar aud pinYon trees, which added somewhat to the gloom caused by the rain storm. There was nothing in the topography of the country, or the general sur roundings, to indicate that we were within miles of natures greatest Of wonders, until all of a sudden, the low browed forest of cedars van ished from our sight: the stage came suddenly to a halt within six or eight feet of yawning depth, 2,000 or more feet to its bottom, and such a panorama as was presented to our view, words cannot describe
 Fatigue and gloom were forgotten; the fury of the storm and the merciless beating of the ram were unheeded, and there we sat and gazed, awe stricken, speechless, at the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. What emotions ill the soul; what thoughts crowd the mind, as the eye conveys its first impress of this most marvellous of all wonders to the brainl OEe's powers of articulation are paralyzed. Speech would be useless and language mockery to attempt to describe ones emotions. They may, and even in some stout hearts often do, find vent in tears, but after the first ejaculation of surprised delight and admiration, seldom, or never, in words. Cne looks and gazes and gazes and looks; now at an immense plateau, which appears below him some 2,500 feet; then away across. for miles and miles, among cliffs and cTags, on domes and terraces, monuments, mosques, surmounted with lofty and stately minarets, Japanese pagodas, Hindoo temples, castle crowned peaks-in fact on every conceivable form of building and style of archi- lecture, carved in the rocks by the great architect of the universe, and painted by naturo with q rich and harmonious blending of colors that no earthly painter can initiate.

A CHANGE NECESSARY.
BouteIle's Reasons for Desiring the
Recall of Willis.


WASHINGTON. Feb. 26.-The resolution
introduced in the House to-day by Boutelle
for the recall of Minister Willis from Ha-
waii recites the antipathy the United
States always expressed to intervention by
foreign Minister in domestic affairs and
the propriety of not enforcing upon a weak
power what we object to from a strong
power. 1t cites the praiseworthy forbear-
ance of the Hawaiian Government toward
Willis, and the specialties of commerce
and kindred ties that bind the United
States TO those of the islands, and con-
cludes: "It shall be resolved that in the
sense of this House the most sacred obi
cations of good faith, the highest mutual
interests of the United States and the
friendly Government of Hawaii, the plain
est dictates Of International comfy and
the imperative duty of avoiding further
risk of completely in the Indictment of dis
order and possible bloodshed 10 Hawaii re-
Quire that the present United States Min
ister to the Hawaiian Government be i'm
mediately recalled and superseded by an
other Minister who will not be hampered
by the lamentable incidents or the recent
past and who will be able and willing to
represent the sincere desire of the people
of the United States to cultivate to the
fullest extent the friendship which so long
existed between us, and to constantly en-
deavor to advance the interest and pros
perty of both Governments"

OPPOSED THE TREATY.
Voices Raised i'm the Reichstag
Against the Measure.

BERLIN. Feb. 26.-Ths Reichstag de-
bate on the Russo-German commercial
treaty was opened by Won MIrbach on be-
hall Of the Conservatives. He gave an
explanation of the reasons which had de-
clded the party not TO support the Govern
ment, contending that the treaty would
prove an injury TO German husbandry
greater than any advantages which could
possibly follow the passage.
Won Bieberstein declared that the Ger
man manufacturers and merchants Sc
cured under the treaty au inestimable
boon. The husbandry pro flied nothing by
the present customs tariff, and the agra
rians should direct their efforts toward in
fiuencing the Federal Government In
favor of practical solIcltude for the Ger
man busbandry. The Government could
not surrender at discretion TO the demands
of the agrarians.
Count Won Moltke opposed the treaty in
the name of the Imperialists.
Rchart urged the adoption of the treaty,
saying that the entrance of Russia into
the European commercial community
would have important consequences. The
House then adjourned.
1t is estimated that the treaty will be
adopted by a majority of from so to 40
yOtes.

ANXIOUS To RETURN.
Is Bayard Tired of His Mission to
the Court of ST. James =?

NEW YORK, Feb. 26-The Mail and Ex-
press prints circumstantial cable from
London asserting that Minister Bayard is
anxious to return home. 1t is said the
various functions in which he is called
upon to participate on account of his Off
cial position are very Objectionable to him,
as he has never been very fond of society.
1t is recalled that he manifested similar
aversion to social life when in Washing
ton. 1t is also said the climate of London
does not agree with him. The cablegram
asserts that Bayard has already sent a
communication to Cleveland, which has
been answered. but the exact tenor of
these letters is not known. The Express
publishes in connection with this Wash
lngton special. in which Senator Gray of
delaware pronounces the report untrue.

HAD A GOOD RESULT.
Brice Explains His Criticism of
the Tariff Bill.
Democratic Senators Meet in Caucus.
Talk Four Hours and Accom-
plish Nothing.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26-The Senate
Democrats caueused an hour on the tariff
and adjourned till later in the day.
Later developments concerning the
caucus of the forenoon are to the effect
that there was more or less reference to
the interview of Senator Brice published
in New York paper. in which hs was
quoted as saying the tariff bill to be pre-
senteo to the Senate had been shaped by
three ex-rebel brigaders, all of whom
were idealists, referring to Jones, Mills
and Vest.
Vest is said to have spoken quite sharply
in reply to this statement and Brice to
have replied with no less feeling. Brice
said he was not complaining of the wool
schedule, but objected to the general
method of procedure and thought the party
in the Senate should have been consulted
IN shaping the bill. While the interview
of Brice was being discussed the Ohio
Senator took the floor and said it was not
so much question of who made the state
ment of the manner in which the bill was
prepared as to whether it was true or not
Several Senators concurred in this and
declared the criticism which Brice had
made of the manner of preparing the bill
had resulted in bringing it before the
caucus. and in that respect great deal
had been gained by the caucus.
Among the Senators who it is asserted
concurred in Brlcs's statement at the eau
Gus are Morgan. Butler. Faulkner. Camden
and others from the South.
At $50 o'clock the caucus adjourned
until tomorrow at 10 o'clock. after q con-
tinuous four-hour session.
