A STEAMSHIP RUN DOWN
And Lost Over 200 People Reported
 Drowned.

LONDON, Jan. 30-The Exchange T Telegraph company says the North German Lloyd steamship Elbe was run down of Lowestoft and sunk. Two hundred are reported drowned; only 19 saved
 The reception of the news caused great excitement. The agents of the company are doing everything possible to obtain the facts. It is believed that the Elbe had about $50 persons, pass eDgers and crew, on board. As no additional particulars are obtainable, they are convinced that the report of over 300 lives being lost is not correct.
 Lloyis received the following from Lowestoft, dated 6:12 p. m. "The Elbe was sunk in the North sea, after collid ing with another steamer. Twenty people have been landed here by fishing snscks. The persons saved include the second officer and pilot. It is feared that the loss of life is great.

THE almond eyed Jap still has the
 slant-eyed Mongolian on the run and it
 is probable that there will be no stop
 ping of the race till Pekin is reached and the Celestial empire throws up the sponge. The results of this war has been the stupenduous surprise not only to all Europe but also to the Jsps them selves. The taking of Port Arthur, al most without battle, was no less so and the victorious march to the capital Will be of Ike character. The French il Tonkin were repeatedly defeated by the Msngolians and had the same amount of bravery been shown against the Japs as was shown by the Black Flags against the Fren ch, the little fel- lows would have been swept into the sea, but they appear to have lost their grip and nothing but the friendly inter- vention of peace can save them from further humiliation.

A DECISION of Assistant Secretary
 Reynolds, of the interior department
 practically drops 10000 Missouri pen
 sioners from the rolls, or rather, it would
 drop them if congress was not in session
 to prevent it. In all the penslon laws
 previous to that of 1890, the provisional,
 militia of Missouri, although it never
 was formally enrolled as a part of the
 regular United States army, has been recognized as part of the army, which it actually was So far as the performance of duty was concerned, in the grRHting of pensions to trosa who served there in, and about 10, 900 of them have been drawing pensions under the act of 1890; but MT. Reynolds decides that they can no loIg do 80, because they are not specifically mentioned in that act. A joint resolution was promptly introduc- ed and passed placing these Missouri pensioners under the act of 1890, so as to save these veterans annoyance from the decision of Mr. Reynolds.

A Mixed Princeiet.

Among the hardest things which the infant Prince Edward of the royal house of England, the little son of the duke of York and heir expectant to the throne, will have to straighten out when he is older is his relationship to his own father and mother. It consti- tutes problem such as is seldom found outside of prineely houses. It is cer- tain, however, that he is the third cousin of his father and also the second cousin of his mother. This makes his relationship to himself somewhere be- tween that of third and fourth cousin. He is, as it were, his own double-third cousin-a relationship which will doubt less take some time for him to compre- bend. Both his father and mother are descended from George III. of England. George Ills son Adolphus, duke of Cambridge, had daughter Mary, who married the duke of Tecl, and became the mother of Princess May, who mar ried the duke of York; and the duke of York's father, prince of Wales, is the great-grandson of the same King George III.

IT is noteworth fact, says an Ex- change, that the export of gold has kept pace with the deficit in our exports, aod that the net amount of gold exported is prscticsll equal to the balance of trade against us. This is a simple process of trade. No gift of prophecy was needed to foretell this result. History is simply repeating itself. We have had the same experience before. During the years from 1S46 to 1860 the balance of trade against us was s420,0OO .0OO. and our ex- ports of gold s43O,OOO,OOO. The then recently discovered gold mines in Calif ornIs enabled us to keep up this losing transactions for years. At present there is nothing to protect us from such folly.

THE CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE
The Assembly Adopt. a Senate Reso-
 lution.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 30-The assembly took up the Reilly bill today. Bledsoe charged that the McGowan bill was a Southern Pacific scheme. The resolu- tion declared that the contiscation of railroads by the secretary of war was absurd. He defended himself against the attack of McGowan yesterday. Bulla defended Bledsoe and said he would op- pose the McGowsn resolution. Brussle of Sacramento, bitterly assalled Bled soc, and said he was opposing to get pol iticsl notoriety. Gutter moved that the senate resolution be lad on the table, which was carried unanimously.
 Belsbaw Introduced a resolution which was adopted by thu senate yes- terday. It declares that the senate and assembly are opposed any extension of the payment of debt in question or any other funding bill. It demands that congress defeat such measures. It was adopted unanimously.

WE are not much in favor of of any additional cattle Legislation, for the reas- oD that the country has already had a surteit ot it, but at the same time DO wrong should go unrighted. It appears that some stock buyers "irom the out
 side" when driving their herds through the country to a shipping point on the railroad, have a weakness for gathering in "strsys" If discovered by an inspec- tor the owner of the herd is allowed to deposit an average valuation with him for sad strsys. same to be paid to the owner O, sad stravs, as all cattle 60 picked up are called. The law in such cases provides for a return fl the stock to the ranges frou which 1t was ques- tionsbly taken, but by common consent of stockmep this law hgs been allowed to fail into di-use to the injury of the owner of said strays. Now this usage tosters s temptation to drive away un- purchased stock, for if detected the only penalty Is purchase, and if undetected the purloiner gets away with them to the injury and loss of the owner. One case has been called to our attention in which eleven ''strsys" were found and in another case four. It appears to ue, from what we can learn, that it depends mu,h upon whose OK is gored and whose OK does the goriog, for the reason that had these strays been detected in the drive of a small local purchaser, the cry oi cattle staling would have been made, ar. rest and prosecution follow, but when ''the big fellows from the outside get their work in the effense IS cordoned without the consent of the owner, hy payment for the cattle. So far as the owners of large herds are concerned this manner of doing may have It's advantages but it besrs heavily on small owners who are thus frequently deprived of cat
 tie which otherwise they would not Sell
 To mot this wrong and protect the ranchers and stockmen Vt V ,uld suggest the adoption of law making it sn offsuse to drive ''strsys," | G., uupurchssed cattle, more than one days journey from their range, punish
 able as a misdemesnor. At the end of 6 days drive strays can easily be cut out, and this the law should provide for.

ON December l9 we published an edi- torial under the caption of "An Amend ment Wanted" in which the attention of the legislators elect was called to burdensome and discriminating laws by which flesh was made of one kind Of property and ish of another. This grew out of the notorious Park calf killing case, and which cost the tax payers of the county at least one thousand dol jars for every dollar involved. Atten- tion was also called to this class of leg islation by Governor Hughes in his mes sage, and we have reason to believe that these recommendations will be acted on and these iniquitous laws repealed.

The Labor Question Before Cong

The Labor Question Before Congress WASHINGTON, Jan. 3p-Proninent re- presentstives of labor and others were before the House committee on labor to- day to discuss the arbitration bilIc pre- sented by the attorney general Ollney, and the Chicago strike commission. Chairman Mclean stated at conference last night between representatives of the railroad employees and the Commissioner of Labor and mem bers of the labor com- mittee that the Olney bill had been amended to meet the views of the rail- way interests.
 The house labor commission agreed to report fsvorsbly to the house labor arbitration bill prepared by attorney general Olney, as amended at the in- stance of the representatives ot the railroad employees. The amendments relate to the manner of choosing a com mission of arbitration to prohibit the issuance of injunctions from restraining employees from continuing strikes, and putting the railroads temporarily in the hands of receivers for operation.

SIX MORE MILES.
The New Road Will Reach Phoenix
 February l5.


 ] The railroad is again running trains to the end of the track, and construc tiou, delayed by the floods, has com nenced anew. The Hassayampa bridge IS scarcely in condition as yet for heavy traffic, temporary structure being raised for passage over the still swollen stream. A steam pile driver is busily at work at the Agua Fria, and the trestle | work across that stream will be well ad- vanced by the time the track reaches the crossing. The end of the track is now about twenty miles northwest of Phoenix.
 The grading is practically complete. Three camps are now working on the six mile stretch that intervenes. to the end of the completed grade. This will be done by Monday. Then the little army, now reduced to about 250 men, will move upon Phoenix for disbanding. A few patches are to be put on Ihe grade out to Peoria, and one camp will find employment in grading the yards at PhoenIx. Then the mules, after @ couple of years hard service, will be given taste of the delight that comes from ease on the sIcculent alfalfa pas lures of the Salt River valley there to remain possibly till the grade is extend ed outward toward Tempe and Flor ence.
 The floods have delayed most ms- terially the coming of the iron horse and Febsuary 15 is now set as the earliest time by which the track can enter Phoenix.

WHILE the pops were in power in Col orado they coddIed themselves into the belief that they owned the state and everything therein. Even the clerks in tue several departments took hand si filching. When the repu blicaus went into power on the first of this month they found many of the offices devoid or their necessities, and detectives were employed to ferret out their where ebouts. Among the articles taken were desks, carpets, mirrors, rugs, typewriters and s7OOO worth of postage stamps. Many of the former articles have been recovered, but four of the typewriters and the postage stamps cannot be found. The state library was footed and every thing from a Shakespeare to 8 first reader tak-n. The only thing left were some students' bibles, and these, of course, they had DO use for.

MURDER NEAR BOWIE.
A Young Cowboy Shot From Ambush
 and Killed Instantly.

A Young Cowboy Shot From Ambush and Killed Instantly. News has been brought in by railroad men of murder near San Simon. A few days ago 8 young man, 8 cow boy, name not learned, left for Shana- bans ranch, twenty miles southeast of Bowie, and eastward from the old post. He staid that night at Shanahan's. The next morning as he emerged from the house he was shot from ambush, and
 almost instantly killed. The wounds were from a shot gun, and the fatal load took effect in his neck
 Tracks showed that horse had stood at the place for several hours, and prob ably all night, revealing the fact that
 the murderer had laid in wait for his victim.
 The trail was not followed, for reas- ons thst could not be learned. Judge Nichols of Wilcox held the in-
 quest, the jury finding that the deceased
 came to his death from gunsbot wounds
 from the hands of parties unknown. It IS reported that this is the fourth
 murder that has occurred in the past
 three months in the San Simon valley.

THE SILT RUG-BEAR.

In 1890 congress clothed President Cleveland with authority to appoint a commission to select site for dam on the Rio Grapde river with view to pro- viding an extensive irrigation system for the southwest. The president subse- quently delegated the duty to Secretary Gresham, Senor Romero, the Mexican minister to the United States, and Major Dutton, of the United States en- gineer corps, but those gentlemen have not yet agreed upon the commission.
 The scheme is encountering some op- position from persons in Washington, who irsist that if the river were dam mad it would be sure to fill up gradually with silt washed down from the moun- tains, so the supply of water for irrigat- ing purposes would annually diminish, and in the end serious controversies would arise over it's distribution. This is an argum ment that practically amounts to no argument. It is ss frivolous and mischievous in intent as the sentimental objection of the eastern Indian Rights ass citation to the removal of the South ern Ute Indians from their reservation in Colorado to Utah.
 It might be urged with equal pro priety against the construction of all dams, reservoirs and ditches, whether built for furnishing pow CT, irrigating lands or supplying cities with water. Of course the noun tains are steadily wearing away and mere or less sllt from thelr rugged slopes is continually being csrried down by the waters that flow from them, and it is undeniable that this silt must find resting place somewhere. All reservoirs catch their share of 1t, and, if Deslected, would in the course uf time unquestion- ably fill up and become worthless.
 But this is not a fair presump ion. Dams, reservoirs and ditches are built for useful purposes and it Is certainly reasonable to suppose that the same eaergy, enterprise and intelligence em- ployed ID theIr construction wili be ex erted to protect them against the eilL bug bear. Experience as we'll as com mon sense teach this.
 The proposed dam across the Rio Grande river, if built at the right place, say near Rincon, in this territory, would result in reclaiming vast areas of the most fertile and valuable lands and thus aiording desirable homes to thousands of people. The plan is meritorioue, the senseless silt objection to the contrary notwithstanding, and should be executed without needless delay.-New Mexican.

NEW MINES AND NEW PROCESS

It may be safely set down as a rule that new mines and new processes do not go well together, says the Mining Review. Almost every week new pro cesses for the treatment of ores are devised and patented. But few, if any of them, have even been put to 8 prsc.ic- al test. The inventors beset every mining man, in season and out of season, to adopt these processes and inveet money in more or less expensive machine ry. The owner of 8 single mine, with but little development, IS the last man In the world who should do anything of the kind. There is plenty of hazard in the mine itself, without trying any other experiments at the same time.
 There is something intensely allur- Ing about promising prospect II presents to the owner TO end of mar. vicious possibilities. Under such cir cumstsnces he is 8 very level-headed man who does pot catch more or less of the gam bling spirit. Such a man frequently falls an easy prey to the new process. The very hazard of the op- eratiop attracts him, and to the uncer. tgipties of the mine he adds the fur ther uncertainty of anew method of handling the ores, apparently under the influence of some vague impressior that ore risk will serve to neutrslize tho other.
 It is to the interest of all miniaG men that new processes of apparent merit should be carefully investigated But this can best be done by paying mines, that can afford to indulge in ex periments with @ view to future Tn creased profits. It is not to the credi of mine owners and managers that they should uniformly turn @ cold shoulder to inventors. The best processes snG the best machinery now in use were once in the experimental stage, and as they took the place of cruder methods 90 in turn they may have to give ava! to something better.

STATEHOOD for Arizona has gone giimmering. Under date of Jan. 25th 8 Washington dispstchs says: The op, position manifested to the admission oi New Mexico and Arizona in the repub- licap caucus today increases the possibi' lity of failure of the sdmission bills. Democrats have had DO real interest ID these bills since the elections last fall and will be only too glad to have the republicans opposition show itself as sn excuse for their failure to put the bills through. The probabilities are all against actien this session.
