HIS FIRST VISIT.
Superintendent Randolph Sees Phoe-
 nix and Congress.

Superintendent E. Randolph, suc- cessor to J. s. Noble in the charge of the Arizona division of the Southern Pacific, paid his first visit to Phoenix yesterday. Accompanying MT. Ran dolph were Mrs. Randolph, Dr. George Goodfellow and Detective w. M. Breckenridge. Here the party was joined by Manager Honshell and wife, Southern Pacific Attorney Cox and Dr. Helm and wife and at 10 the su- perintendent's private car was pulled out for Congress station by Santa Fe locomotive.
 At the camp the party were the guests of Manager Gage, of the Con- gress mine, and were shown through that magnificent property, the trip being an especially novel and inter esting one for the ladies. The return trip was begun about 4, the seventy one miles hither being made in about two hours, and at 8 the car was at- tached to the southbound Maricopa & Phoenix train for the journey to Tue son.
 Dr. Goodfenow remains in Phoenix for day to visit friends.

About train time. Il o'clock, last evening, three commercial travellers were walking northward on First av- enue toward the Santa Fe depot By name they will be recognized as among the most popular of the boys on the road-C. B. Cumberson of the Lorillard Tobacco company, R. G. Wallace of Murphy, Grant & Co.,, and John Spitz of Son Bros. & Go. They noticed by the fitful gleam of street arc light man dodge behind fence.
 Guess we're going to be held 'up,' D casually observed Wallace.
 Looks like it" coolly replied Cum person. Well, I've a little popgun here for fellows of just his kidney. Take my bundle, boys, and I'll attend to him.
 The doughty three walked serenely on. When they reached the fence cor ner, out jumped the man. At the same moment the cratic electric f1ared fiercely out, permitting the highway man to clearly note the caliber of a revolver leveled by Cumberson in his direction.
 But there were no flies visible on that road agent. "Ah, gentlemen,' he remarked as he grasped the situation and thrust his own pistol back in his pocket, q had intended to hold you up, but considering the circumstances guess I'll not do it this evening. Good eve" and off he walked.
 And the drummers had such pro- found admiration for his gall that they let him walk

TANNERY FOR BENSON. A New Industry to Be
 Started. The Prolific Canaigre Plant
 Utilized. Purchasers Now Buying Hides and PeIts and .OptainIng
 Information.

Tombstone Prospector: We are in formed that an effort is being made by our neighboring town. Benson, for the establishment of a tannery at that point, and that agents are now out buy ing hides, and gathering information as to the number of hides and belts that can be furnished from the butch CTS of the county and from other sources. -4N=-
 Benson being central point, hay ing ample railroad connections and To- cated in a section of country which is well adapted to the cultivation of. the canaigre plant, which from satisfac- tory trial by competent tanners, both in California and in the east, is shown to contain tanin qualities equal to if not superior to the celebrated oak of Kentucky and other middle eastern states, and far superior to the Hemlock vast qualities of which is used in all sections of the United States, in the preparation of leather for the market.
 Canaigre is a plant easy of cultiva- tion and prolific to marked degree; it is fast coming in demand, and it's su- perior qualities are now recognized by tanners all over the country. The white oak, so much in favor for its tan min qualities, is rapidly disappearing from the forests of the east, and the tanners of the great states of Kentucky and Illinois, where, for the last fifty years, the finest and best feathers of the country have been produced, are now driven to extremities in the col lection of material for the maintain ance of their reputation as the manu- lecturers of fine leather.
 But here in Arizona substitute has been found that will take the place of all other tannin material, and is of annual growth, can be cultivated the same as the sugar beet, and will be source of greater remuneration to the producer over almost any other crop he could raise.
 Taking all these facts into consider ation, in connection with the further fact that an abundant supply of pure water is at hand, the man or company of men who open up a tannery at Ben son have an eye to business, and their judgment as to location is sound.

NOTES OF THE COURTS.
Yesterday Ended the Short Term at
 Yuma.

Today a rush of civil suits may be expected in the office of the district clerk. Judge Baker has ruled that service of summons on all suits must be complete by the date of opening court, thus closing the date of filing papers ten days before court time. AS court begins November 4, this is the last day of grace.
 District Attorney Mi1.ay returned home yesterday from Yuma and is now busy in getting about forty crim- inal cases ready for presentation to the grand jury Thirty of the cases are from Phoenix precinct alone, rep resenting almost every felony upon the statute books.
 This morning 1t Is expected that Judge Baker and the balance of the Phoenix bar will return from Yuma. There has been very little civil busi-

TO THE INSANE ASYLUM.
The End of Short Career of Vice and
 Dissipation.

Lora Robinson is now an inmate of the territorial insane asylum, wreck of humanity, with clouded mind and weakened body, with uplifted and f1uttering hands weakly striving to ward off a vague and threatening shape of horror that to her seems present ever by day and by night. At times when her mania is most acute her hysteria is violent and, if kindly hands were not there to prevent, her life would be forfeit to her own act.
 Eight years ago in Phoenix there was no brighter, no handsomer girl than she. Passing through the local schools, at IS she passed to the normal school at Tempe, where her attractive personality soon won for her among her schoolmates the pet name of Mrs. Langtry." Her conduct was irreproachable and her bearing mod est.
 Returning to Phoenix, the death of a stepfather+ sent her adrift on the world. An elder sister was in; San Ber- nardino, an Inmate Of house of ill., fame. Thither the girl drifted, though the story Of her endeavors in Los An geles to withstand temptation was a pitiful one. It was through the one she had learned Ito love that she at last fell. The man who brought her to life of shame remained near her a few years, thehhtared fof her and de- serted her for another. It was then the first signs or insanity appeared. Her lovers loss was followed by violent hysteria, and for months the young woman was kindly attended by her sisters of low degree.
 Almost year ago, Lora, who now calls herself Ivy Stanley" removed with her sister to Prescott, there to become a denizen of Granite street Her infirmity increased and she now, victim of grief and of dissipation, is an inmate of the asylum.

ness at the Yuma term Of criminal business the grand jury found in jail twelve prisoners committed for felony. The justice of the commitments may be gauged by the fact that the grand jury found but two indictments out of the lot
 The cases were to plead yesterday, but as the term jury had been dis missed. their trials will probably be held over till next term. One of the prisoners is Daniel, half brother of Sortillon, who is held for the alleged murder of his wife.

LONDON, Oct. 24.-A special from Shanghai says a Russian squadron of fifteen ships has left Vladivostock for Chemulpo and Fuzen. The Japanese fleet in Formosa waters, it is also stated, has been recalled and it is an- nounced on excellent authority that several British warships have been or dered to sail for Corea.
 The situation is most grave and preparations for the expected struggle are visible on all sides, but it is hoped Q solution of the difficulty will be found in Russia and Japan agreeing to divide Corea

THE MAXWELL LAND GRANT.
Quiet Title at Last Secured to the
 Company.

SANTA FEE, N. M., Oct. 24.-The su- preme court of New Mexico has ren- dered a final decision in favor of the Maxwell Land Grant company in the suit of the Bent heirs, involving a twelfth interest in the Maxwell land grant, valued at $500,000.
 The celebrated case has been in the courts over thirty years. It grew out of the children of Governor Charles Bent, who was killed in the revolution of 1847 at Taos.
 The present decision quiets title in the Maxwell company.

DIVIDING UP AFRICA.
A FlourishinR Nation Threatened by
France and England.

The Upper Nile Valley, which consti-
tuteS one of the bones of contention be-
tween the powers, is comparatively well
known as the seat OF the waning power
OF the Mahdi and his armies Of dervishes.
Its importance is lnsig gnihcant, however,
compared with the rich and populous
States lying east of the Niger and around
Lake Chad. Few white men have pene-
trated To these regions, yet sufficient is
known of the country to make it worth
striving for. During and Immediately
after the season of tropical rains Lake
Chad, on the border or the Sahara, is
probably the largest body of fresh water
in the world: the geographer Reclus has
estimated its area to comprise %. wv
square kilometers, as against the Sl,O0U
square kilometers assigned to Lake Su-
perior and the Victoria Nyanza respec-
lively. Bornu, Bagirmi, Adamwa and
several other States lying on Lake Chad
or along the banks OF its tributary rivers,
and comprised in the region known as
Hausaland, cover an area OF 800, 600 square
miles, dotted with numerous towns, and
populated by millions OF industrious and
partly civilized inhabitants.
The Hausas have made considerable
ADVANCES in some OF the Industrial arts,
notably in weaving and In working IN
leather and metals. They are fine agri-
oulIurlStS anu pI0ouo!s VI al oACel1oht
strain of horses. IL IS impossible 10 state
the population of Hausaland with any
degree of accuracy, but it is probably an
understatement TO place the number OF
persons who speak the Hausa language
at 100000. The Hausa tongue is one of
the richest and most cultivated languages
of Africa and is not only the vernacular
where the Hausas live, but is the lingua
franca i'll wide region beyond its own
home. 1t is dominant on the Guinea
Coast, and is spoken by the traders who
come with caravans across the great des-
ert TO Tunis and Tripoli, on the Mediter-
ranean.
1t would be unutterably disgraceful,
however, if two supposedly enlightened
nations like France and England should
uproot this fiowek of civilization which
has sprouted upon African soil in an un-
justifiable squabble for territorial do
main.-Philadelphi Record.
