Great Flights Made by Birds In


France.
The rate of flight OF the carrier pigeon
has almost cqualed in interest AS scien-
tific topic the question of the ''sense Of di-
rection" of this and other birds. whereby
they are enabled to fly over huge tracts
with an instinct of unerring kind guiding
them to their own place. Lately great
pigeon flight was organized in France,
the Eiffel tower being selected as the point
of departure. The pigeons were drawn not
only from distant parts of France, but also
from Belgium. The time of flight and the
time of arrival at home were duly noted.
with certain interesting resuits regard
ing the rate of progression.
Thus one pigeon flew 93 1-2 miles, We
are told. at the rate of AZ miles per hour.
This was a high rate, and may he Classified
with flight of 264 miles at 43 miles an
hour. The account from which / quote
adds, however that thcse rates are low
when, compared with the records of pre-
vious flights. Thus, distance of 600
miles has been covered by a pigeon in
twelve hours. From Blois 10 Dijon is a
distance OF 290 miles, and this has been
accomplished by a pigeon in hours and
46 minutes. Higher rates than even so
miles an hour are said TO have been chroni-
cled.

French Centen,rians.

A census Of centenarians has been taken
in Franco, and the results show that there
are now alive 213 persons, who are over
100 years old. or these lat are women,
the alleged stronger sex being only able
to show sc specimens who are managing
still to husband out life's taper" after
the lapse of q century. The preponder-
ance Of centenarians of the supposed weaker
sex has led to the revival of some anus
ing theories tending to explain the phe-
nomenon. One cause of the longevity of
women is stated to be, for instance, their
propensity to talk much and to gossip,
perpetual prattle being highly conducive
it is said, to the active circulation of the
blood, while the body remains unfatigued
and undamaged. More serious theorists
or statisticians, while commenting on the
subject of the relative longevity of the
sexes, attribute the supremacy of women
in the matter to the weIl-known cause
namely, that in general she leads q more
calm and unimpassioned existence than Q
man, whoss life is so often one of toll,
trouble and excitement.

HIS FATE SEALED.
The Removal of Hughes Now
 a Certainty.
Zulick and kellner ar Work in Wash ineron-A Dark Horse the Likely
 New Governor.

The momentous question as to who will be governor is the absorbing topic at present. but 80 far no authentic ad- vices have been received. It is under stood that the report of Judge Olive and Col. Duncan recommended the re- moval of Governor Hughes in the strongest language and for variety of reasons. In fact from the evidence gathered by these gentlemen that would be the only course for them to pursue. They came to the territory for the sole purpose of going to the bottom of the numerous charges and to make report that should be final for the action of President Cleveland and Secretary Smith.
 That there will be change is there fore generally conceded. In fact it is understood that Governor Hughes him. self has given up the contest and is preparing to go out. He has been busy for several days closing up his annual report, which ordinarily would not be forwarded for several months, and other unfinished business Tn anticipa- ton of a request for his resignation which will likely come in few days.
 The report of the inspectors has reached Washington within the last day or two and no action can have been taken yet. Secretary Smith has been south and the president is at Gray Gables. It is likely that the secretary will now take the matter up, however, and an appointment may be looked for by the end of the fiscal year, June 30. Zulick and Kellner are in Washington and are active candidates, but no reli- able news has been received as to the chances of either. In fact, It is known that the claims of neither have been formally considered and that neither has been shown any especlal courtesy that would indicate favoritism.
 Reliable telegraphic advices have been received that endorsements are pouring in for other gentlemen, one ot them at least Democrat of wide ac- quaintance in Washington and recog- nized in Arizona as man of the purest Democracy and of great ability.
 There is no objection to any of the men prominently mentioned, but it is dollars to doughnuts that the dark horse will receive the commission. But in any event the fate of Hughes is sealed and there will be new governor by July.

NAVAJO COUNTY SEAT.
Holbrook Becomes the Center of
 Government.

Holbrook Becomes the Center of
 Government.
 Holbrook is the county seat Of the new county of Navajo. The county seat election and the contest between Holbrook and Winslow occurred on Tuesday and resulted in a victory for the former by something more than 100 votes, an unexpected and over whelming majority considering the sparse population of the new county. The population of Winslow is considera- bly, greater than that of Holbrook but the latter was supported by the interior towns and communities. Beside the prize the contestants were inspired by bad blood growing out of former county seat election of Apache county between Holbrook and the present seat St. Johns, in which St. Johns re- celved majority of only eighteen votes and owed it's election to the influence of Winslow.
 Both Winslow and Hol olbrook are rail road towns.
 Holbrook is said to be the most i'm. portant shipping point on the A. & P in Arizona and does an extensive busi- ness with the interior towns and camps Pending the election it has been the temporary county seat under the aci creating Navajo county.

 He utterly broke down under ques- tions concerning his floating claim" so described by Attorney Reynolds, be- cause the claimant had remodeled it's boundaries by their removal eight miles south of the boundaries de. scribed in the original claim.

By the Associated Press.
 WASHINGTON, June 12.-Secretary Olney is thoroughly determined that the United States government shall do all in it's power and all the interna- tional law requires to prevent the vio- lation of the United States treaty by persons who undertake to make this country a baee of hostile operations against Spain, with which power it is at peace.
 Complaints have reached the depart ment of state through the Spanish minister that men are being recruited on American soil and that armed expe- ditions are leaving our shores for the purpose of attacking the Spanish forces in Cuba. Whenever necessary evidence can be produced, these infractions of the law are to be severely punished, for the secretary of state will have no just ground for complaint that the United States has failed in it's obligations to other nations.
 Meanwhile, even, it has been deemed proper to give formal warning to mis guided people of what they may expect. So this afternoon the president issued a proclamation warning all citizens against the violation of neutrality laws in the case of Cuba and instructing United States officers to vigorously en- force the laws and punish violators thereof.
