THE MEXICAN EXPOSITION.

Mexico has evidently entered
upon her international exposition
project in earnest, and with the de-
termination to make it success.
A plot of some 600 acres of land
has been set aside for the site,
which is close TO the City of Mexi-
co. About 200 to 800 acres are to
be devoted to exhibits foreign to
Mexico. Every facility in the way
of cheap (and in some cases free)
transportation is to be afforded to
foreign exhibitors. An especially
cordial invitation has been extend
ed to the United States; and to the
several states and territories of the
Union, to make as fine exhibits as
possible. 1t is promised that the
Mexican exhibit will be second on
ly to the worlds fair at Chicago,
and there are good reasons to be-
bieve that the promise will be kept.
1t will open April 2, 1896.

A GARDEN SEED SCANDAL.

1t is well known that the Hon. j.
Sterling Morton, Secretary ofAgri-
culture, is no admirer of the sys-
tenn of distributing garden seeds at
public expense, to the constituents
of Congressman. He has discover
ed that some of them have been
selling the seeds provided them by
the Government for distribution
among their constituents. He
says he has suspected this for a
long time, but that he set on foot
an investigation which convinced
him that it was true.
If Congress considers the matter
sufficiently serious to order an in
vestigation, the information will
no doubt be forthcoming. In the
progress of the investigation, it is
likely that additional evidence
will be discovered. If the names
of the offenders are to be made
public, which seems only right, il
ought TO be at the end of thor
ough investigation.

NAVAJO COUNTY.
Some Information Regarding the Twelfth
Arizona County.

Some Information Regarding the Iwelith
Arizona County.
Navajo county is the western
half of Apache county, the dividing
line running to the extreme points
of the county, is four miles east of
Carrizo, on the Atlantic & Pacfc,
station sixteen miles east of Hol-
brook. The new county includes
Holbrook and Winslow on the rail
road, and Woodruff, Snow Flake,
Taylor, Show Low, and part of
Fort Apache, in fact all on the road
to the fort, while on the east are
the present county seat, ST. Johns,
Springerville, Pinedals, Concho,
Navajo Springs, etc.
The old county had 1870 votes
registered. The poll Of votes last
fall shows 512 votes in that portion
comprising Navajo, while 496 is
credited TO what is Apache county
now. South Of Holbrook the settle
ments are almost wholly Mormon.
Snow Flake is credited with the
best private buildings, Winslow
second. Properties Tor taxation
will be favorable to Navajo so far
as town valuations go,while the old
county (what is left of iD will get
most from the railroad. On the
eighth of April the new and old
boards of supervisors will meet to
adjust matters as to Indebtedness
and valuations.
Holbrook is named as the tenn
porary county seat.
By the conditions of the bill q
registration will be made at once
and vote taken late in June as to
the county seat. The Indebtedness
of the old county was 100000 or

The Economical Use of Water.

Water is king in Arizona. With
out it we can do nothing, even the
earth is valuless; with it the des-
erts of Arizona bud and blossom in
beauty. It's economical manage
ment then becomes a matter of the
very first Importance. If by un-
derstanding its proper distribution
one inch of water can be made to
do where two are now barely suf-
ficent, it behooves those in author
;ty to be up and doing. To use
water and not waste it is science
that daily clamors for recognition
and which sooner or later must for
the we'll being of the arid regions,
be recognized and better under
stood. Water is golden and we
can no more affort to waste it than
our money, and yet tits being done
with unfailing regularity. Dem
onstrations to this end are daily
occurrences on the Santa Cruz,
where the demand for the benign
blessing is. great and the supply
limited.
Heretofore the belief had been
general that the Chinese gardeners
in the valley were appropriating
more water than was legitimately
due for the acreage under sesssltjifSa.,
tlon. and cn@44fpialnts were repeat
edly lodged against them. Their
fields were always green where
others are bare. This called for
investigation, and Mr.. Billman,
who hascharge ofthe Indian school
farm in the valley and who was
elected "Juez de Agua" some months
since, began systematic measure,
ment of the supply, demand and
distribution. To his great surprise
he discovered that the Chinese
gardeners, again whom so much
complaint was made, were using
less than half the water per acre
for their gardens than was being
used for ordinary ranching. Thus

DECLINES TO INTERFERE.

Secretary Gresham Says that John A. Bowler Has No Right to American Cit- izenship.
 SAN FRANCISCO, May s.-The steam ship Gaelic, which arrived yesterday afternoon, brings the following:
 HONOLULU, Aprh 4.
 Minister Hatch last week received through United States Minister Willis a communication of much import ance from Secretary Gresham in which he declined to interfere in the case of John A. Bowler, who is now serving a sentence of five years imprisonment for misprision of trea- son, a crime for which he claimed that the military commission had no right to try him. Bowler had taken an un- qualified oath of allegiance to kala- kua, and Gresham holds that he thereby lost American citizenship and forfeited all claim to the protection of the American government
 The cases of Sc ward, Gulick and Marshall, who are American citizens, are unlike Bowler's in that the crime of which they were convicted was treason.

 WASHINGTON, May s.-Three hun. dred and twenty-five residents and property owners in the city of San Jose. Cal, whose titles to their prop. erty were jeopardized by a suit brought by James M. Teall ct al, of New York, may rest in assured possess sion since the announcement of an opinion in the supreme court of the United States yesterday by MT. Jus tice Field.
 The ground of the suit was that one Andrew Divine, acting under power of-attorney from Oliver Teall, whose son-in-law he was, ancestor of the plaintiff. had in August, 1857, fraud ulenty conveyed to A. L. Rhoades, who reconveyed it to Divine, the property now held by the S25 defendants, and in 1889 they, Teall's descendants, in- voked the equity powers of the circuit court for the southern district of Cali fornia to restore the lands to them The court below held that thirty-one years undisturbed possession gave right of ownership, and this view the supreme court upheld.
