Of
Yuma County.
YUMA COUNTY.

Awhile man FIRST set foot on what is
now Trma County in l77l. 1t is the
southwest division of the Territory, and
one OF the four original counties of the Ter
ritcry. Many great reclamation projects are
however on foot, and in a few years ex-
pect to see Yuma County rated as the
richest in the Territory.
The first glimpse the traveller from Cali
fornia catches Of Arizona is that Of the
picturesque town of Yuma, which is snugly
situated in the embrace of gentle rolling
hills, upon whose crests and sides the
modern homes of our superior civilization
are crowding the adobe dwellings into
eternal oblivion. Yuma is the gateway to
Arizona, the new empire of the West, upon
whose undeyeloped riches the eyes of the
ountry are at present turned, and as such,
she is bound to grow and prosper with a
rapidity that at present can hardly be re-
allied. But coupled with her geographic
cal position we find that she is the center
of a country whose agricultural possibili-
tics are practically unlimited, being sur
rounded by soil the fertility of which
exceeds that of the delta of the Nile, and
wanting oaly water to become paradise of
bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious
fluid have annually gone to waste at
Yuma's very doors, but already a reaction
is taking place and many enterprises are
on foot to supply the life-giving waters of
the yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

to-day and delivered President Cleveland,s
present to me.' What this present was is
not stated.
Up to the time of the return Of the
special commission, which went to Wash
ington to interview President Cleveland,
the ex-Queen records herself as favoring
waiting policy, confident that the Ameri-
can administration would interfere in her
behalf After Cleveland S answer to the COM
mission she became more aggressive, and
begins to listen with growing favor to those
urging an uprising on the part of the ma
tives. Rudolph Spreckels called to see her
often, and is represented as advising her to
fight it. She did not agree with him until
during his last stay in Honolulu. He in
dicated that she could get plenty of money
in San Francisco to buy arms and carry
out a successful rebellion. He is also rep
resented as willing agent of herladyship.

c. G. Moreno, who takes lively interest
in Hawaiian affairs, recently wrote to Rob-

successful.

dence was secured to prove to an impartial
observer that she was aware that the rebel
lion was to be started
The most damaging evidence that will
be brought against her will be her personal
diary, which was found in her residence
after her arrest. Whether this is intro
duced and made public at her trial de-
pends very much upon the course pursued
by her counsel in defending her case. The
ex-Queen recorded her thoughts, desires

THE REFORMERS STORY.
PRESIDENT TRUMAN SAYS HE HAS
EVIDENCE. OF CORRUPTION.

I. J. Truman, president of the Civic Fed
Grafton, said much evidence of corruption
had been gathered, but refused to go into
the specific charges. He has little faith in
grand juries, and will lay his evidence
only before body having more power
He said:
Have the reformers done anything more
than hold mass meetings? Yes, much has
been done. We collect more and more evil
dence OF corruption every night. Men are
coming in numbers to volunteer information.
We cannot tell who they are for some would
lose their positions. Some may not have told
us the truth. We hear the evidence and then
investigate both sides of the case as far as we
can. We have plenty of evidence TO set a COM
mission to work at once. A grand Jury is
worth nothing. grand jury can never ferret
out crime, at least none have done so in the
twenty-five years have been in San Francisco
There are good men on the present jury, but
they have no power.
The evidence we have secured shows corrup-
ton in the Police Department, in the Sheriff's
Office and in other departments. While we are
sure that various offenses have been COM
mitted we cannot particularize as that would
destroy the power OF evidence. We have
enough to show great deal of rottenness.
Yes, we know of crimes that are unpunished,
but there comes the same question again. We
cannot show our hand now to the other side
One flagrant case can speak of is that of the
immoral house adjoining public school which
has been made public matter through the pro-
tests of the parents of the school children.
Chief Crowley had it referred to him, but he
sat still and said he could not do anything.
/ suppose some rich or influential man owns
the property. Why don't Chief Crowley break
up that nest of immortality which no doubt is
corrupting many of the school children? 1t is
against the law. to allow such house 10 run.

PATRIOTISM HIS SUBJECT.
Secretary Herbert Talks at the
Scotch Irish Society Ban
quet.
Sentiment of the South Shown by
the Reverence for Lincoln's
Memory.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 15.-The Pennsyl-
vania Scotch-Irish Society held its sixth
annual banquet at the Hotel Bellevue to-
night. A large array of distinguished
guests attended. The speakers of the even
ing were Secretary of the Navy Herbert,
United States Senator Manderson of Ne
braska and Representatives Hatch of Mis-
souri, and Grosvenor of Ohio. Colonel A. K.
Mcclure presided. Secretary Herbert was
the first speaker. He said in part:
When I received the kind invitation you
sent me to join you in this dinner was glad
to accept it, for there is smart strain OF Irish
blood in my veins and somewhat smaller one
of Scotch, and l felt that could claim kindred
here and have that claim allowed.
Not only, Mr.. President, are we descended
from the very best stock, but we are improve
ments on that stock. Gentlemen, aristocracy
as it is understood in Europe is contrary to the
letter and genius of our institutions, and no
man here would have it otherwise. Yet there
is pride of race, a pride OF ancestry and line
age that is laudable, ennobling, that lifts men
up to be at times but little lower than the
angels are That is the very life and breath of
our institute ons which exist, and which can ex-
ist only when founded upon the virtue and
conservatism of the people who sustain and
administer them.
When 1 was boy in the South, and t;e in
stitutions upon the foundations of social life of
the North and South were so widely dissimilar,
the doctrine was familiarly taught that the
line that separated America into two peoples
had been drawn by the surveyors, Mason and
Dixon, across the continent from east to west,
but that line of demarcation exists no longer
it has been wiped out forever
do not think there is any more striking IL
lustration of the real sentiment in the South
to-day than the affectionate and continually
growing reverence in that section for the
memory of Lincoln, who, I believe, was OF
Scotch-Irish birth. Born in slave State
reared in free State, Abraham Lincoln was
the spirit incarnate of the struggle for the
preservation of the Union, slavery or no slavery
The time has passed when might makes right
whether for individuals or for nations. Our
national Government must do that which is
right unto its people and to all the nations and
all the rulers on the earth, great and small
and thus be like the city set on the hill. There
lies an example to all the world of wisdom the
justice and boundless benefcence of free insti.
tutions.

EXPOSING G0VERNoR HUGHES.
The Inside Facts of the PheniD Warrant
Case to Be Printed.

The Inside Facts of the PheniD Warrant
Case to Be Printed.
PHGN1x, Feb. 15.-The Weekly Review
will publish tomorrow an exhaustive ex-
pose of Governor Hughes alleged efforts
to defeat the suit enjoining the Treasurer
from the payment of $4,000, warrants
claimed to have been illegally issued by
the Territorial Loan Commission two yeas
ago.
The point raised is the questionable act
of appointing an attorney to represent the
Territory who was already the attorney for
the Treasurer, the party sought to be en-
joined. The suit was brought by ex-Attor-
ney-General Henry before he resigned.
Attorney General Satterwhite was the
Attorney for the ex-Auditor, Thomas
Hughes, brother of Governor Hughes
and member of the old commission, who
audited the warrants. Therefore Satter-
white was disqualified and L. H. Chalmers
appointed. On motion the suit was dis
missed on the ground that the action was
brought against the consent of the Gov
ernor. AS soon as dismissed, the story
goes, the Treasurer advertised the war
rants and before the taxpayers could pro-
test the warrants had been paid.

PLAIN QUESTIONS
ARE ANSWERED.
CHARGES OF CORRUPTION FOUND TO
HAVE No RESPONSIBLE
FATHER.
REPLIES MADE.
THE Rev. E. r. Ollie Is OPENLY
ACCUSED OF MAKING FALSE
STATEMENTS.

The plain questions put by THE CALL to
the city officials and to the persons who
are charging them with corruption have
been answered by some in straightfor-
ward way and by some in carefully guarded
utterances. Little proof of corruption out
side of election matters seemed to be OBJ
tainable. No necessity for foreign investi-
CATION committees was shown. In fact all
things seemed to indicate that corruption
is not so rampant as charged.
The election frauds are being investi-
gated by the Grand Jury. The indict-
ments already found are cited as evidence
of the ability of the jury to handle the
matter.
1t appears that some of those who have
been making charges sindiscriminately have
utterly failed to prove their assertions.
In fact, if the secrets of the Grand Jury
could be disclosed there is no doubt that
the loudest complainers would be convicted
of crying before they were hurt. Every
man who has been charging corruption
has been brought before the Grand Jury
and has utterly failed to Show the possess
sion of any evidence.
Still the Civic Federation claims to have
some strong evidence of corruption, but it's
members declare that the Grand Jury has
not power enough to handle the cases, and
that a special commission is necessary to
secure the right results. The city officials
stoutly assert that no one can produce
proof that they have done aught but their
duty, and ask for proper investigation.
The following interviews will enlighten
many who have wondered why the cry for
reform has not brought forth better re-
suits. They contain answers to the plain
questions asked by THE CALL yesterday
morning.

destroyed. and her attorney has endeavored
to prove that they never existed. This
entry clinches the Governments position.
The Warrimoos departure for Victoria
was delayed for two hours in order to give
Johnstone, Muller and Cranstoun, the
banished men, an opportunity to see their
respective counsel. Johnstone talked to
British Commissioner Hawes, after which
he stated that he was satisfied to go.
Cranstoun saw Minister Willis, who pro-
tested to the Government, claiming that it
had no right to send the men out of the
country without first giving them trial.
The German Consul also objected in the
case of Muller.
After the steamer sailed Minister Willis
boarded the Philadelphia and had a con-
ference with Admiral Beardslee. Willis is
still a thorn in the side of the Government
and his every movement is watched anx-
iously as it is feared that he may call the
forces of the Philadelphia to his aid in case
the Government decides to hang William
Seward, one of the men condemned by the
military court.

FEARFUL COLLAPSE.
The Fail Of a Building at Atlanrio
City, n. ].
One Thousand People Buried Mt the Social
Session of the EIks-At Least One
- Hundred Badly Injured
q Awful Scenes.

ATLANTIC CITY, n. J., July 1.-THE
social session rendered by Atlantic
lodge to the visiting Elks at the Baltic
avenue Casino yesterday evening end
ed in a terrible disaster, in whic b fully
100 persons were more or less serious
" injured, one man being taken out
dead. The session had just opened
and only one of the speakers had been
heard when, without the slight
est warning, the building,
which has not been used
for several years, collapsed and fully
1000 persons were thrown to the floor
beneath. Many women, the wives OF
visiting elks, went down in the ruins
Fully 200 persons who were on the
first floor of the building and immedi-
ately beneath the banquet hall were
crushed beneath the timbers and lay
helpless. The fact that all the electric
lights in the building went out at
the time the building gave way added
to the confusion. An alarm was imme-
diate1y turned in and the city's force
of 200 fremen and every police officer
in the city were called to the scene as
a hospital corps. The police ambu-
lance and carriages of every descrip-
ton were utilized to convey the
injured to the hospital and to
their hotels. When the police and
fremen had arrived on the scene
the excitement was so intense that
they scarcely knew where to begin
first. An immense crowd of people had
been attracted to the place by the
noise of the falling building and the
groans of the unfortunates who were
pinned beneath bricks and timbers.
The streets for several blocks were
choked. The air was full of
anxious inquiries for friends and rela-
tives who were thought to have
been in the building. Within a few
minutes the police succeeded in clear
ing space in the immediate neigh bor-
hood of the building and placed ropes
around to keep the crowd back. In
the meantime the firemen had set to
work to extricate the wounded from
beneath the mass of timbers, and they
were aided in their work by the hotel
keepers and residents near the scene.
Every house was thrown open for
the reception of the injured, and every
available conveyance was pressed into
service to carry them to their hotels.
Meanwhile physicians were on the
scene, and were doing everythin g
in their power to aid the unfortunates
who had been caught in the crash. AS
quickly as the unconscious forms of
the wounded were taken out, willing
hands bore them to the nearest place,
and everything that surgical skill
could do to alleviate their sufferings
was done

LOUISVILLE, KY, July IA mob of
several hundred people called at the

after taking three alleged immoral
prisoners from the Jail, gave each 100
1ashes on the bare back, afterwards
returning them to jail, where they will
remain until tried at the regular term of

were Cora Pace, colored, and Mary
