EVIDENTLY there has been a whole lot of willful misrepresentations, or misun- derstanding or possibly a mere sus- picion that Gov Hughes has been mak- ing effort to have statehood deferred as long as possible. Such evidently, is not the case, as indicated by the follow ing telegram received by Acting Gov ernor Bruce this morning:
 "WAsHINGToN, D. O., July 31, 1794 To Acting Governor Bruce and Hon. J. A. Fleming.
 Have been working earnestly for state hood every day since arrived. Am pro missed a favorable report tomorrow. Am confident the bill pass this session.
 l. c. HUGHES.
 From Acting Gov-rnor Bruce we earn that hIs information from other sources is 10 the same effect So far as Governor Hughes efforts are concern ed. The fact remains that the present Territorial Administration generally has done faithful work in favor of what we all so much desire, and that too in the face of whole lot of villi- ficatiou and misrepresentations from sources that should have up held its hands. The fact will yet appear that all has been done that can be done by Gov. Hughes and his friends, and in fact the friends of statehood generally for tho copsumatiop so sincerely wished Phoenix Herald.

THE ALGoOoNEs LAND GRANT

Below Yums, and for a distance of twenty miles m length by about five miles in width lies 8 fine body of land on the east bank of the Colorado River This land lies partly within the boundar- ies of the famous Algodones Land Grant, although there are about 15,000 acres of government land lying outside of 1t. The Algodones Grant claimants present ed their case to the Court of Private Land Claims, and had a decision rend- cred in their fav0r, frJm which decision the United States, through the Attorney General, has appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States, where il now lies. 4 strong petition was sent the Attorney General requesting him to withdraw the appeal, but it has not been done.
 Another petition was then sent him, asking that the case be advanced cn the docket and 8 speedy adjudication of the case be reached, and it is generally un- derstood that the case will be heard be- fore the Supreme Court in the month of November next.
 Whichever way the case is decided, ;t will forever settle the title to this valu- able piece of land, and will usher in an era of prosperity to Yuma and vicinity.
 The pumping plant erected by the grant owners, and which has been in operation for three years past, has prov en the feasibility of pumping water for irrigation, and is in operation this sea- son.
 A large tract of land is being irrigated below Yuma from this source, and the crops were all fine.
 With the settlement of the question of title to this tract of land at present in dispute, Yuma will soon become the cen Ire of a fOurishing community.

AS A SOVEREIGN STATE.
The following dispatch was received from Governor Hughes today:
 WAsHINGToN Aup g

The following dispatch was received from Governor Hughes today:
 WASHINGTON, Aug 3.
 CITIZEN: Congratulations The een- ate committee has just reported the bill favorably for the admission of Arizona as sovereign state.
 The committee promises to pass it at once, if possible. l.. c. HUGHES.
 A week ago the eub committee on ter ritories reported favorably, to the full committee on territories, the bill admit ting Arizona to statehood. Today, as will be seen, the full committee has re- ported the same bill to the senate. It now remains to be seen what the senate will do with it. We are of the belief that they will pass the bill and send it to the president for his signature. If he signs it, and we believe he will, Ariz- ona will be on the broad highway to statehood. To this end we believe that Governor Hughes has been working, not because of the foregoing dispatch but because no good citizen of Arizona can afford to be arrayed against her in terests, which is clearly in line of state hood. We take pleasure in extending the congratulations of the governor to all Arizonans no matter where placed Congratulations Arizonans.

THE paper on "Male aud Female At tire in Various Nations and Ages" by Mrs. Ellen Battelle Dietrick in the Aug ust Arena, will get wide reading. It Is an historical examination of the faci- natlDg subject of costume, which meets the argument of those opposed to mod ern dress reform movements on the grounds of custom and historical prece- dent by showing that women were the original inventors and wearers of trous- CTS, and that their early use by men was deprecated as effeminate. Strabo, a Greek historian, about 450 B. o., re- marks this peculiar feminine costume which the Persians adopted after con- quering the Medes from the vanquished. The Greeks and Romans, Thracians, Ciciliane, etc, then all wore skirts, men and women alike. Tertullan in the third century A. D.. remonstrates with the effeminacy of Roman nobles in adopting trousers, imported from Per sia. Today the Greek and Highland soldiers wear short skirts. The hardy women of northern China wear trousers, and are as strong and active as the men. So that custom and history show that the sexes have exchanged costumes, and at different periods of high civilization, ss we'll as of barbarism, they have dress ed exactly alike. The article is illus trated with costumes of men and wo- men in skirts and trousers in different ages. nations and countries.

Camden claims that his signature IS B forgery gotten up for b!ackmailIng purpose, but it seems little odd that @ comparatively poor man should have been selected by the alleged blackmailers when there are so many rich men in the senate. It is said that if the committee succeeds in getting the corroborative testimony 1t has a reason to expect that lmpeach ment proceedings against Senator Camden and at least one other demo- cratic senator will almost certainly be commenced, if there are not some resig- nations.

 It IS reported that the steamships that sail- d from New York fer Europe a few days ago were not able to take all the steerage messengers that had bought tickets for the outward voyage. There was large reduction ID the cost of 8 s:eerage passage, 5l0 being about the maximum rate. This outward current results from the c0DGested condition of the eastern labor market. For many years there has been gr at inflow of laborers without capital. Bringing TO money, thy were entirely depend ent upon such employment as they could find.
