THE FAR EAST.
Arizona an Unknown and
 Wonderful Land.
Revival of uSiness-Prospect Of Tariff Legisiation-The Hey-
 wood Letter Recalled.

Dr. Prowell, who has just returned
 from an extensive eastern tour, say
 he is surprised at the. want of informa
 tion in the east concerning Arizona
 He found many intelligent persons
 defective in geography, who actually
 did not know the exact location of the territory, did not know the name ot the capital, but had heard of Arizona in connection with Apaches and Glla monsters.
 In the course of his journey he dis.
 Sributed 1000 pamphlets issued by the Phoenix chamber of commerce. The distri button was made, in violation of the rules, on railroad trains. On the Pennsylvania system alone 2,000 were disposed of. They were read with eagerness by all classes and were not thrown aside as advertising matter usually is but were carried away for future reference. At one terminus after having literally distributed Ari- zona tracts the doctor searched the train without finding single copy lying on a car seat or thrown aside. Many who read the pamphlet were eager to learn more about the strange land and the doctor was besieged for more parti- cular information.
 There is he says marked revival in business in all the larger town and cities east of Kansas City, West of that the stagnation of the past year still prevails unchanged.
 In Philadelphia and New York bankers, merchants and manufactur CTS, Democrats and Republicans, are reasonably confident that the Wilson bill will not become a law. They do not believe that even an amended tariff measure will pass and they think that as soon as the country at large is as- sured that there will be no economic change the revival of business will be rapid. AS an illustration of the con- idence of customers in the utter failure of the Wilson bill 8 Philadelphia banker related the following incident:
 A heavy woolen manufacturer whose mills have been idle since the bill was reported, recently borrowed of his bank 0,000 with which to buy wool and hold it for the higher market which will naturally follow the collapse of the tariff measure. The wool has been purchased and stored to await that happy event. This purchase was made immediately after the antagonism to the bill became apparent in the senate.
 Another matter which will be of more or less interest to Phenicians was visit by the doctor to the office of the Chicago Tribune. While there the sub b. ject of the Haywood letter was brought up and the manaaing editor assured him that the Tribune had no other mo- tive in it's publication than to offer readable matter to it's patrons. Said he: "This man Haywood has never been employed by us; we had no con- tract with him for that letter; he paid his own expenses in gathering the ma terial for it and when he finished it he sent it in. The Tribune did not as- sume any res possibility as to the truth fulness of the matter contained in it. We certainly had no wish or purpose to injure Arizona's chances for statehood and would gladly and freely publish an article from the territory setting forth different state of facts. We received | communication from Phoenix in rela- tion to the Haywood letter but it was somewhat irrelevant and not in replica tion. 1 will assure you that an article from Arizona, reasonably brief and to the point will readily find place in the Tribune columns"
 With further assurances of the | Tribune's friendship toward the terri tory the interview closed.
 The weather all along the doctors journey was execrab ble. He found no two successive sunny days and in east ern Pennsylvania and New York snow lay on the ground to depth of three feet
