Viva Mexico.

Sunday night saw one of the big gist gatherings Tucson ever held at the city park. Americans were there in great numbers, though the occa- sion was nominally Mexican, with the red white and green everywhere, the bands playing the Mexican na- tional hymn and the cries of Viva Mexico l" being taken up on all sides.
 All that could make the occasion gay and bright and enthusiastic was there, The best speakers ot Tucson, English and Spanish, brought forth cheers and applause. Everywhere were rows of gorgeous Chinese lanterns. Two bands made good music for the occasion. In a place set apart fireworks were sent up, brought out the usual "Ohs l" and "Ahs."
 The speakers in English were Judge Wright and Hon. S,M. Frank lin. Each referred to Mexican pa- triotism and to the patriotism and work of the great Hidalgo. Sehor Carlos Velasco was master of cere- monies. He also made an address, as did Sefor Rufino Velez.
 Between the speeches each band played, the regimental band at first holding to American patriotic airs. Each selection was followed by an- other from the Philharmonic band. The music was really excellent throughout. At the last the two bands played three selections to- gether, the Mexican national hymn. Red. White and Blue and "The High School Cadet"
 Fireworks concluded the even. ing's celebration.
 A handsome feature of the even ing, not on the programme, was bi cycle lantern procession. About two score riders had provided them selves with lighted Chinese lan- terms. AS they whirled around the park they made a handsome ap- pearance.
 After the celebration a dance waf attended by many. It was held il Vasouez's hall and much enjoyed Tucson Citizen.

A Naval Battle.
Fourteen Chinese and Nineteen Japanese Yes.
 SeE Meet.
A Terrible Conflict Follows.

London, Sept.19- A dispatch from Shanghai, dated 2 :45 p. m. today. says, later dispatches say 12 Chinese warships arrived yester- day at Port Arthur for repairs. On Monday the Chinese fleet, IA war ships, arrived off the mouth of the Yalu river. conveying transports having on board 5000 troops. It was the intention of Admiral Ling to disembark these troops inside the mouth of Yalu river in order to form a force with which to inter cept the Japanese advance upon Moukden Manchuria, from which there is railroad running to Tien Tain, While engaged in landing these troops, according to this dis patch, 19 Japanese ships, accOmpa- nied by a fleet of torpedo boats, was sighted approaching the river. As soon as they were within range the Japanese attacked the Chinese. Then followed a terrible conflict, lasting six hours, during which great guns, rapid fire guns and machine guns of all sorts, were us -ed with fearful effect on both sides. Both fleets also used torpedoes repeatedly and fired at each other continuously from rapid fire guns mounted in the tops of different warships. .

The New Era In Wool.

The abolition of the duties on wool has helped our manufacturers in several ways, and the increasing prosperity of the manufacturers must necessarily react to the benefit of the domestic growers. The passage of the new tariff law sent up the price of foreign wool all over the world. That meant that while our manufacturers could get their imported wool cheaper than before, not having to pay duties upon it, there foreign competitors would have to pay more than ever. Thus the pressure of competition was reduced in two directions. This Improvement in the relative position of the American mills will enable them for the first time to in- wade the foreign markets, and when they do that the scale of their ope- rations will be so expanded that the demand for American labor and American wool will necessarily in crease.-Ex.

Enthusiasm Among Democratic Rosfs,
A Strong Platform of Loyal Pril-
 ciples.

The nomination was made by ac- clamation and storm of cheers brought MT. Herndon sto3the fore.

I stand before you today with feelings of pleas ure mingled with feelings of regret, that it is not more worthy man than my self upon whom you have called, yet I want to say to you to- day that while I may be weak, you are strong.

The Eagles Prey.

While A. J. Doran was over in his mines in lower Pinal county 8 week ago he noticed two giant black eagles, strange variety for Arizona, lowering around the near by region. One day, while idly watching the great brids in their lazy flight, he saw one of them suddenly swoop to the ground, ris- ing with some heavy, dark bundle in it's talons. Then arose a yell from a nearby camp of Papagoes bucks, squaws and all rushing frantically away in the direction of the eagles flight. The King of the Air had appropriated to himself Q little Papago papoose' that had been placed by it's mother to sleep in the shade.
 The child was not recovered, however. the eagle bearing it swift ly out of sight, to a terrible death in some mountain eyrie.-Daily Gazette.

ValediCtOry.

With this issue our connection with the ST. JOHNS HERALD ceases. The paper hes been under our mau- agemcnt and control for the past nine years, and during that time It has always urged the enforcement of the laws, and opposed the vicious element. The paper assailed the Clanton gang, the Clear Creek des- pcradoes, the Tonto Basin outlaws, until they were broken up and dis banded. Now there is not more law-abiding or peaceful community in or out of the Territory than Apache county.
 Our relations with the people of the county generally, havo been of the most pleasant character, and il is needless to say that we sever our connection with them with many regrets. It is true that during our connection with the paper, we have said some rather hard things, both of individuals and officials, and we want to assure those persons, that nothing was ever said or written with any malicious feeling, but with 8 motive to serve the best interests of the people, and in compliance with what wc conceived to be oul duty as a journalists.

 ABSOLUTELY PURE
Wool Sales at London.

London, September 17.-The fifth series of London wool sales of 1894 will begin tomorrow and will last until October 18th. In all 2S2,7 ,732 bales will be offered. In Commer- cial circles here great interest at tached to this sale, owing to the fact that the United States has at last enacted free wool tariff. For years the United States has been the least important factor at the London wool exchange, the annual purchase of fine lacals hardly amounting to 15O,OOO bales. Now it is expected it will change from the least gradually.
 It is known that large stocks have been accumulated at Boston in anticipation of the repeal of the tariff. A number of American buyers, however have arrived for this sale and several brokers have unusual American orders on hand. Buxton, Ronald X Co.,, in an inter view, said that the United states contributed to make. 1893 a bad year. After making allowance for the general mistrust, the actual course of the market was mainly governed by the business of the United States.
 It is expected that the sales will open at rise over the parity of the last sales of 2 per cent. This ex- pectation is based on an advance of 5 per cent obtained at recent private sales. Of the 69,OOO bales that will be offered this week 18,OOO are from New South Wales and Queensland, 12,500 from Port Phillip, 2,500 from South Australia, 1000 from Tasmania, 500 from West Austra- lir, 36,000 from New Zealand, 1000 from Cape of Good Hope and Natal and 1000 from Puutas Arenasl Keen competition will naturally follow tha opening sale, which will comprise fairly representative assortment covering 13.742 bales of which 2,6OO are from New South Wales,2,OOO from Victoria, 800 from Queensland, 3,700 from New Zealand, 33O from South Aus tralia, 299 from Tasmania and 1, 760 from Cape of Good Hope and Natal.

JOHN c. HERNDON.
Sketch of Our NOmTnee's Personal
 Career.

John Clark HerndOn, the nom inee of the convention for the office of delegate from Arizona to Con- gress, was born in Fayette. Howard county, Missouri, in 1850. In ad- dition to the schooling his native city afforded, he was given the ad- vantage of an academic training at Lexington, Kentucky, subsequent- ly attending till he graduated in the University of Virginia
 After reading law with the part ner of his father, Judge R. J. Pre- witt, he was admitted to the bar in hls native town in 1875, thereafter practicing his profession in Fayette for a number of years.
 In 1883, taking the western fever he came to Prescott, and has since madesthat. .city his home, prosecut- ing hls profession with a high de- gree of success. Judge Herndon was long associated withe Judge J. J. Hawkins under the firm name of Herndon & Hawkins. Since the elevation of Judge Hawkins to the bench of the Fourth district, his place in the firm has been filled by Judge T. G. Norris, councilman at large in the last territorial legisla- ture. .ss.
 Though a consistent and active Democrat, Judge Herndon has gen. erally refused nomination to office in the biennial conventions of his party. Inthe year 1886, however, he was overwhelmingly chosen by the voters of Yavapai county to the office of district attorney, filling the office with high credit for two years. For the year 1892 he was again an occupant of the office of district at- torney, being appointed by the board of supervisors to fill out the unexpired term of Robert Brown. He was honored in the winter of '92 by an election to the territorial council, especially distinguishing himself in that able body of legis- lators by his industry and devotion to the interests of his constituents, as we'll as by the keen judicial scrutiny he brought to bear upon
 every measure introduced.
 Judge Herndon was married at Pierce City Mo-, in 1875, to Miss Florence N. Wilson, lady of gracious presence and high domes- tic virtues. Four children have been born to them, two surviving childhood. With his father to the | convention came his eldest, Master John, who as year 8 respite from school, is now acting as his sire's secretary and clerk, an office that he fills with skill most creditable to his seventeen years.
 In personality, the Democratic nominee for congress is pleasing beyond the generality of men. His address is plain and frank, and up, on the rostrum, though many of the tricks of the orator are lacking, he is popular with the masses as clear, logical exponent of honest thought.-Daily Gazette.
