A short while ago the Rev. DIR. Park
hurst Of New York was the laughing stock
of the multitude. Comic papers cartooned
him numerically and he was a never fail
ing theme for the mirth Of paragraphers
AS for the element which comprises the
population Of the neither side Of New York.
1t fairly writhed in paroxysms Of glee over
the crusade which the reverend gentleman
had announced that he would undertake for
the purpose of purifying the morals Of the
wicked metropolis. Within the past six
months public derision of DR.. Parkhurst
has been changed to admiration and the
satirical smiles of the objects of his war
fare have been succeeded by scowls of an
ger and hatred. With energy unrivalled
and a persistency as admirable as 1t was
emphatic the New York preacher has pur-
sued relentless battle against the quasi
criminal classes of Gotham and victory
after victory has perched upon his banner
Today every brothel in the famous tender
loin precinct is closed as tightly as a her
metically sealed jar. The testimony which
is being adduced before the committee Of
the New York state senate. which is inves-
tigating the police department Of New
York city, and whose creation for that pur-
pose is due to the indefatigable efforts of
DR.. Parkhurst, throws additional light upon
the connection between the city's police and
its criminals. At the examination yester-
day one Charles PREM testified that he was
the keeper of disorderly house for six
years at No. % Bayard street, and that
during that time he paid forty-three hun
dred dollars to the police authorities Of that
district in order to secure immunity from
the law In the prosecution of his avoca ton.
The respectable element of the entire coun-
try will join In heartfelt thanks to Dr.
Parkhurst for the brave and successful
fight he has waged against the immortality
of Americas greatest city. and aggressive
Christians will find in his methods a pow
erful argument for using strong measures
in dealing with the insidious foes of NOR
atty and civilization that hide themselves
behind the purchased protection of munich
pal authorities.

A document which should interest every
resident of the District of Columbia il the
report submitted yesterday to the Sanitary
League by Prof. T. c. MendenhalI. chair
man OF the Sanitary League subcommittee

the committee as to the dangers arising
from human consumption of well water in

made and sustained by The Star Prof
Mendenhall says that since IS per cent of
the wells selected at random and examined
by the committee have been found bad and
only about . per cent have been found
good. the committee desires to urge upon
the Sanitary League the Importance of ad-

First Blood.

The tariff debate did not begin in the house today. The Republicans showed fight at the outset and scored the first victory. Before the time ar rived for Wilson to take the floor Mo Creary tried to arrange an amicable agreement by which two days, Friday and Saturday should be given to con- sideratien of the Hawaiian resolution. Hit the Republican leader of the foreign affairs committee, expressed willing ness to acquiesce in the arrangement but Boutelle wanted to precipitate the question immediately by calling up his resolution. Both sides were ugly but after 8 lively row the speaker held Boutelle's resolution privileged.
 The Democratic mem bers of the ways and means committee were not willing to go ahead with the Hawaiian dis. cussion until after the tariff debate had been gotten we'll under way however and the question of consideration wal raised against Boutelle's resolution.
 The Republicans then executed g flank movement by refusing to vote The Democrats then found themselves in the humiliating position Of not being able to muster quorum after revokinG all leaves of absence. Wilson reluct antly moved an adjournment. Int Democrats confidently expect quorum tomorrow but the outset of today: Republican tactics will probably bt that the Hawaiian matter will be en 1 tirely postponed until the tariff bill il | disposed of.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE.
Reception at Tucson of the Mari.
 copa Delegation.

Reception at Tucson of the Mari copa Delegation. Special Correspondence of THE REPUBLICAN. TUCsoN, Jan. 2.-The Territorial Teachers association met here today in the operahouse. The old territorial officers were reelected.
 An address of welcome was delivered by Judge Wright in his felIcitous and easy style and he laft grateful impress sion of the sincere and hearty welcome accorded by the people of ''the ancient and honorable pueblo" The contrast of this generous treatment with the rather cold cheer given the Pima county teachers when they visited Phoenix last year is something to teach kindness and courtesy to the most callous. Prof. Prof. Storment responded to Judge Wright, expressing the thanks and high l appreciation of the visitors. Two com mittees were appointed, one on creden- tials consisting of Professors Netherton, Fully, Wollam and Misses sprecher and Barton; and one on resolutions consist ing of Professors Fulton, Wild, Case, Hall, Combs, Hathaway and Mrs. Byrnes. s -
 The program as published in THE REPUBLICAN was carried out. There are nearly hundred teachers in attend ance. twenty-six from Pima, sixteen from Pinal and forty-nine from Mari copa county.
 Methinks the open liberality of these denizens of this antique pueblo is what brought many of us here. How con- sonant the one with the other; the town belongs to the ages that have flown and so does the politeness and generosity.

 JACKSONVILLE, Jan. 3.-Unless some thing of an unexpected nature turns up the Cor bett- Mitchell battle will surely take place. It is proba ble the original plan will be fully carried out but if found impossible to pull the fight off in this city, secret battle ground will be selected somewhere within the limits of Duval or St. Johns county and the con- test will go on as if nothing had hap pened. Corbett yesterday signed the new articles agreeing to fight any place in Florida named by the club. Mitchell at first refused but today signed. Under the new articles each man will be furnished his own gloves.
 Corbett is in town tonight together with Brady and others. The party all at tended a performance at the opera house after which they returned to their hotel. They will return to Mayport tomorrow. Mitchell is trained down to about the condition in which he will enter the ring. He said today he was little gore from hard work but would be ready to fight within week If neces- sary. He expressed confidence in his ability to whip Corbett and says he is longing for the day when they will meet. For the first time the Corbett party really believe the fight will take | place.

While not the shortest road to the canon, it will be the easiest to trav- el over and will terminate at Point Sublime, terminus indeed sublime. The distance will be sixty-fve miles and scheduled for eleven hours. The first stage will leave Ash Fork about January 10th, and will keep up unin- teruptedly all the year around as there is no snow to interfere.
 Details of scenic effects along the road will be written when the line is in operation.

SAVED BY CONFESSION.
A Liar Arrested on Charge of
 Murder.

Murder.
 Los ANGELES, Jan. 3-John Thomp- son alias Charles L. Thayer, who was accused of the murder of Ed Johnson, was discharged today. Last October Thompson and Johnson attempted to rob stranger at circus at Pomona. The stranger knocked them both down and escaped. City Marshal Loeber saw the act and afterward arrested Thomp- son and Johnson. A scar on Johnson's forehead where the stranger struck him was referred to as evidence of the at- tempted robbery. Thompson testified that he himself had struck Johnson during the quarrel.
 The men were discharged on the rob- bery charge but Johnson died from the effect of the blow and Thompson hay ing testified he struck him was ar rested for murder. In the examination today Thompson said he had committed perjury in the robbery trial and that that the man he had attempted to rob struck Johnson. Marshal Loeber cor. roborated his testimony and Thompson was discharged.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC CHANGES.
Rumored Resignati of Gen.
 eral Manager Towne.
Other Change Said to Be Contem- plated to Go Into Effect on
 February 1.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 3.-An afternoon paper prints story that A. N. Towne, general manager and second vice. president of the Southern Pacific. has resigned and is to be succeeded by W. G. Curtis, at present assistant general manager, the resignation to take effect on February 1. The rumor is denied by Southern Pacific officials.
 Other changes mentioned are that A. D. Wilder is to be assistant general manager and the division superintend- ents at Fresno and Los Angeles are to be moved up peg, taking charge of the Oakland and Fresno divisions re- spectively.
 MT. Towne is one of the best railroad men in the country and for many years has been the right hand man of Hunt ington and Stanford in managing the Southern Pacific. The story assigns no cause for the reported resignation.
