The arlrnna & Ssoutheastern Assessment.
Arizona Republican.

Arizona Republican.
 The failure of the territorial board of equalization to act upon the peti- tion for the reduction to the valua- tion of the Arizona x Southeastern railroad has excited great deal Of comment. Messrs. Boone and Leitch strenuously endeavOred tobring about the reduction and it was as vigorous ly but successful opposed by Messrs. Satterwhite and GoldwateT.
 The session on Tuesday, to which Mir. Satterwhite was recalled, was also unproductive of results at to this par ticular matter and it is said that strained relations exist among the members of the board. The Arizona & Southeastern from Bisbee to Fair banks, distance of thirty-twO and two-tenths miles, is as nearly private railroad enterprise as can be conceiy- ed. Though it is not owned by the Bisbee company it's chief business is derived from that company. It runs a passenger train each way daily and carries freight for other persons than the copper company, but the revenue derived from these two latter sources is insignificant.
 The officers of the road returned it's valuation last spring after careful estimate of the depreciated value of all sorts of material used in railroad construction, depreciation by the way, of nearly 33t per cent as compar- ed with prices of the year before. The valuation was placed at about $500 per mile less than in ls93 At it's June meeting the board of equalization rais- ed the valuation to the figures of the year before. At the close of that ses- sion the valuation per mile of this road was s50O more than that of the N. NJ. & A. a line 0! general traffic.
 Col. Herring, who is an attorney for both roads, appeared before the board at the late session in support of the Arizona & Southeastern's petition for reduction. He presented the appar- ent injustice of placing a greater val nation upon a road whose track con- sisted of 45-pound rails and whose business was limited to one line, than that of a road whose track is of IT. pound rails and whose business is as diversified as railroad traffic can pos sibly be. Messrs. Satterwhite and Goldwater were obdurate and unmov- ed during at least two exceedingly stormy sessions.

A rainstorn at Bisbee several nights ago did much damage. Brewery gulch was raging torrent and four houses were carried away by the water. One horse was drowned. The Bisbee rail- road was badly washed. One cut made last summer was filled up as though it had never been made. It was day or two before traffic will be resumed uninteruptedly. Railroad timbers from the A. X s. k. road were carried halfway to Benson.

nobody is prepared to prophesy the out

anything to say express themselves as
confident of winning Whether this means
that the Southern Pacific will compromise
and offer all the men their jobs. with the
proviso that Pullmans may be run. or
whether it will absolutely knuckle under,

the most favorable terms the strikers may

There seems TO be a general agreement,
however, that Sunday night will see new
deal of some kind. Mysterious golngs and
conings of strike leaders and the tele-
grams Of the past three days back and
forth between the A. r. y. executive COM
mittee and Debs all tend to show that
something Is afoot
1t was Tumored yesterday that President
Roberts of the A. r. u. had called at
Fourth and Townsend streets and been
closeted with General Manager Towne on
strike matters, and ON top of this 1t was
said that another emiSsary of Roberts had
continued the business during the after
noon. The strike committee admits that
Roberts was at Fourth and Townsend
streets, but say it was Oh a purely per-
sonal matter, unconnected with the strike,
aud that his presence being desired in
West Oakland in the afternoon, he had
delegated another man to finish his bus-
ness for him. 1t is stated most emphati-
cally, however, that the double errand had
nothing whatever to do with the strike.

ANCIENT CHANT.
A Russian Cantor Sings
Orthodox Airs.
Two Jewish Congregations Deeply
Impressed by the Singing of New
Men of Different Types.

novel service was held last evening at the
Minna-street orthodox synagogue, and Will be
repeated this morning. 1t consisted mainly of
ancient chanting by new cantor, Rev. Sol Dl-
M ond of Odessa. Russia, who recently arrived
In this city.
The temple was crowded by the ultra ortho-
d0x Hebrew people who had heard of Mr.. Di-
mond's coming and were DESTROYS Of hearing
him chant the service. as many of them had
heard it years ago in Europe. There was
neither organ nor choir. Nor was the cantor's
singing governed by rules OF harmony or In
accordance with the first principles of music
being something like plain chant with I'M
musical crescendOs thrown In for no other APP
parent purpose than to give little variety and
color.
When the service began Mr. Dimond stood at
the cantOr'S desk and undertook to represent q
choir. de sang all over the gamut, from deep
barytOne, that was really musical and melodi-
Gus, TO high tenor. and then into still higher
pitch OF falsetio soprano. where the opportunity
for extraordinary tiOurisheS was seized with
avidity. The chant, so aDOther cantor Said
might have been heard 800, even. 5000.
preserved in parts OF Europe where
culture and education have nothing in common
with the struggle for a living. In such back
ward corners the orthodox method Is followed
to the letter aud canIOrs intone the psalms
without regard for music or the harmony OF
sound, swaying their bodies meanwhile in
hbepluR WIFI the NtHeiHeDC6 OF their voice.
Rev. Mr.. Dimond gave an exemplification OF
their way OF officiating He sang the Sabbath
service almost in FULL TO the delight of many
present in whom it recalled sacred meetings of
years ago.
Quite a different service was held In the
Sheriff. Israel Synagogue, at Post aud Taylor
streets. There was less orthodoxy but
the singing was excellent ana the cantor
proved himself an artist. Rev. D. Davis,
young man OF good presence, who reached here
from New York yesterday after a long delay,
sang for the first time Ia this city and charmed
the congregation.
The new cantOrs voice is a rich bass barry
tone. remarkably clear and distinct and agreea-
BILE to hear. He sings In time and tune and in
such a mastery manner that his first effort
created quite favorable impression. His first
hymn was MA Tovo-How Goodly Are Thy
Tents, o Jacob"
In opening the Sabbath service he sang
81 scho Dode"-"COme, My Beloved''-a psalm
In which the Sabbath is apostrophiSed as
bride with all the beautiful effects OF music and
rhetoric. Rabbi Nieto delivered a prayer.
after which Mr.. Davis chanted and sang the
evening service, closing with 'Ylgdor'-"Let
the Living GOD Be Magnified"-an eXultation
which was rendered with splendid expression.
In the "Scbafar," or advice, Mr.. Davis intro
duced an aria from the "Magic Flute" which
suited the Hebrew words admirably.

WAS HE FIRED AT?
Corporal Manel Reports an Alleged
Shot at Berkeley.

Corporal MaDel of Company E, Second
Regim ent, reported to Lieutenant-Colonel
Geary yesterday morning that himself
and his men had been ired upon at Golden
Gate the night before. while they were
guarding the Berkeley local.
Manel and a detail of his men were in
the cab when the local pulled out of the
mole, at little after II o'clock. Every
thing passed in the ordinary way until
they reached Golden Gate. There was
crowd of men there they took to be strik-
ers. and as the train slowed up from lack
of steam they surrounded the cab and
tried to induce the fireman to desert his
post. They coaxed at first. but became
bolder later ON and assumed threatening
attitudes. The soldiers at this cooked
their guns and pointed their bayonets,
Corporal MaDel stating that his men
would shoot down the first who ap-
preached. They succeeded in this man
Der in. standing off the crowd. Sufficient
steam was soon generated and tho train
moved off.
On the down trip Corporal Manel Kept
sharp lockout, and as they were approach
ing the same crossing they saw a number
of men assembled in the darkness The
train was about to whisk by when a shot
was heard from the direction OF the crowd
and Manel and his soldiers imm ediately
concluded that iT was at them. The train
passed rapidly on and no other attempt
was made upon 1t.
In making his report the corporal says
himself and his men. as soon AS they heard
the first shot, stood ready TO fire In body
in the direction from which the next flash
miuht come.

The strong force OF police which has

still kept in service. According the rail-
road authorities 1t is undoubtedly due 10
their vigilance and TO the welI-known fact
that they were under instructions to sup
press any riotous demonstrations at any
cost that trouble has been avoided at that
point.
The Southern Pacific officials claim that
they have received innumerabe overtures

drawn up in the yards yesterday to afford
sleeping accommodations and in day or
two everything will be ready for eating
purposes Meanwhile the non-union
workmen are eating in Rooney's restaur-

this move. The first is that it Will keep
the men from the influence of moral
suasion that might be used by the strikers.
and the second is that it may keep most of
them from getting their heads battered.
