OUR DISTINGUISHED VISITORS
They reach Phoenix this AfGern Oon
 Herald

| tloCblu.
 All day long our citizens have been hurrying to and fro making the final arrangements for receiving her honor ed guests, the officials of the new road and those who accompanied them to our city.
 | The only thought of our citizens has been to make thelr visit one of pleasure to them and at the same time to place our hospitality and business advantages 80 vividly before them that they could not feel that the efforts put forth for completing the great enterprise of building a railroad from the northern part of our territory across deserts and over mountains to our beautiful and fertile valley, had been in vaIn, or was net appreciated to the fullest meaning of that word.
 For many weeks our people have been | preparing for this occasion and the cele- braton that Is to follow in two or three | days, and as the hours grow nearer each heart beats more rapidly with pride and expectation, and like children preparing for picnic, We could hardly wat. This morning the train earned con- | miJtee of our represen tative men con- sisting of pr l. H Goodrich, Mayor Monihon, Jerry Millsy, Dr Chandler, Judge Aiusworth, Major Evans and Gen Collins to Congress to meet and accom- pany into this city this delegation com pany composed of the following gentle men:
 N K Fsirband, Chicago, director s F F & P railroad.
 D M Ferry, Detroit. director s F tS P railroad
 CC Bowen, Detroit. secretary and treasurer F P & P railroad.
 SarmieDto. Chicagn, assistant sec- retRry s F P S P railroad

 s J Field, Justice United States Supreme Court.
 W J Murphy. Phoe K, with party of Eastern capitalists.
 The train bearing the distinguished visitors reached Phoenix at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon and was heralded by the ringing of bells and the blowing of whistles. An immense crowd of people were at the depot t. welcome them, apd Hon. Thomas Fitch in his usual elo- quent manner put into speech the feel inGs of the people and extended to the visitors the freedom of the city.
 N K Fairbanks of Chicago, replied to the welcome in few we'll chosen words of appreciation for the evidence of vel come, and while admitting the very low death rate of this valley, yet he frankly assured the multitude that the con- panv had not come here for their health.

WHILE much has been said cnncern- ing the iptro6 uct on of miliGar, training in'o the public schools, a ot.-r rubiecI closely related to and still more impori- ant than this has received Do attention. The use of arms in warfare re ults ID injury and consequent suffering to large numbers of men. There Is a. least as much reason for training persons to re- lieve these sUfferings as to iniict them. Tee hand which lifts the cup of wat ' to the lips of the wounded soldier is not less patriotic than the one which strikes down an enemy. To nur-- back to health and usefulness the citizen who has been wounded ID battle, or brought to deaths door ty bardships of the camp or march, is no less glurious than to lead an advsncs on the enemy's line. But wars seldom come; accident and disease sions in the life of every one when prompt aid would save life or relieve tuffering until the arrival oI a physi- clan. While our boys and young men are receiving military training let our girls and young women, and others ex. empt from drill by physIcal disability, be trained to prompt action in emergen- cies such as accidents, poisoning, drown ing, etc, and, so far as time will permit the care of the sick.

The news of the death of NJ. M. Brown at Oposura, Sonora, Mexico, was brought to Tom bstone yesterday. He died on the 18th of February. He was well known in Tombstone, where he had many friends.
 MT. Brown WAS native If Iowa, but had been in the west a number of years, and at one time was resident of Tomb. stone. He came to Sonora, Mexico, about ten years ago, and was engaged in a number of miuing ventures witb leading Mexican and American residents of that state At one time he made g prospecting trip into the Sierra Madrs mountains and had thrilling experience with Indians. Two of bis companions were killed, but he and friend; by hard work, succeeded in reaching a neighbor' ing pueblo MT. Brown was thoroughly upright man, whose many friends ir Arizona and Sonora will be pained tc hear of h's untimely end.-Prospec- tor.

THE POPE General George Batchellor Tells a Long Interview. NO CRITICISMS Made by His Holiness on the
 American School
 System.
NO CRITICISMS

ALBANY, N. r., March 12-In a letter written to state official, Gen. George 5. Batchellor, formerly minister to Por- tugsL details a noteworthy interview with the Pope. The Pope expressed re- gret that certain newspapers and public men in America objected to his sending delegate to Washington, or sending out an encycllcal, as tending to meddle with the affairs of foreign government
 "This IS an error," said the Pope. "I do not ask to meddle with the affairs of governments except to admenish my people to obey the civic law and to con- form to the authority of the land m which they dwell. l sent a legate to America in order that might be better informed as to the character of Americ- an institutions and peculiarlties of it's national and state governments. and above all reconcile any conflict, if there should be any, between the government of my church and the government of the land.''
 General BatchellOr writes: "His Holi- ness had no criticism to make on our school system" He said: 'I am in formed the liberal party controlling the state of New York chose one of our priests as regent of the university, and am told two senators of that great land represent two creeds-one protestant and one Catholic. How then can I com plain of the institutions of America? The more 1 study them tha more they please me. have admonished all people in America to refrain from strikes, never to resort to violence to redress a grIev- ance, but appeal to the law and the con- stitution."

He Swore Much.

Jack Bruce is jolly fforid faced Irishman and an engineer on the s. P. railroad. Ha was on the engine at the Stein's Pass hold-up last week. It will
 ne remembered that the robbers made a losing mistake by only uncoupling Uucle Sam's postal car from the train. Bruce says wh~n the robbers ordered him to stop, after the mail car had b, en hauled twI or three mlies from the train, and disc vered the "w,ter haul" they had m de, the leader of the gang induig in he EorsG profanity that has ben re. COT led in ancient or modern tim J ck says he has ra,lroaded for mspv yars, served one term in the Arizona lexisla- ture, saw Capt TevIs get a Queen full beat at poker, and was in the court house when Judge Sloan sentenced
 Barnes and Dunbar to jail, but the pro- fanity on these occasions would pass for religious worship when compared with the horrible oaths of the foIied robber. His language WAS awful to hear and thoroughly demoralizing. He damned everything about the Southern Pacific system from Huntington to the section hands. Everp foot of the road was cursed from San Francisco to New Or leans aud he meandered off on some of | the branch lines. The bridges and roll ing stock were toucned with weird pro-
 fsnity. The onger he swore the more eloquent and blasph mus he became.- | Bulletin.

Mir. Manuel Bsca, large cattle dealer from CalifOrnIe ia in fCurr


 Mir. Manuel Baca, large cattle dealer from California, is in town.
 Eight teams To lded to the guards with flour from the mills of the Eagle Mill ing Company, in this city, left for No gales today. This flour is in great de- msnd all through southern Arizona, as well as elswhere, and finds ready sale wherever offered.
 Col. Sykes who for the past year has been working lithogrsphic quarry in favapai county IS reported to be on the edge of deal that will recompense him for his labors ln Arizona. In developing ms hthographic quarry he discovered another class of rock that promises to be fully as valuable, and to which hs gave the name of Ornamental stone" This stone when polished is remarkable Tor Its curious ornsmentstion and pic- lures of all kinds, some of them perfect Ideals of beauty, are brought to the sur lace. It means fortune to him.
 In the Casa Grande and Arizola country, says John King, who has been there in connection with his clothing business all is handsome. The alfalfa IS coming on we'll, with water in plenty from the Florence reservoir. Four or live families of immigrants from Dakota are now firmly settled at Arizols, doing well and speaking favorably of the country. MT. King prospered we'll in the clothing line, taking numerous or ders. He was in addition treated most handsomely.
 The road from Nogsles to Gro Blsnco across the mountains, is complete and under travel. The work is great credit to the Nogales people. From the No gales end the grading was thoroughly done, every hill beng approached and descended at as easy grade as possible. In facs this part was overdone, as in several places where the descent of one ridge and ascent of another paralleling 1t Is accomplished the curve is SO short that long freight teams could not make It. The grading into the hillsides is thorough. At the Gro Blance end the work is not so good, being rather the cleaning off of stones and brush along the tops of ridges, The distance is over twenty miles, and the drive from Gro Blanco to NOgale5 is one of six or seven hours. Gro Blanco people hold 8 grudge toward Tucson in this matter of reads, in the refusal of the board of su- pervisors of two or three years ago to authorize the repairing of a cutoff in the road to Tucson that would have shortened the distance at least ten miles.

The Peralta-ReavisL Land Case.

The land court opens in the old Con- mercial club rooms on Monday next. But four judges will be present, Judge Stone being at the present time in Spain together with Special Attorney Mallet Provost. They have been there about eighteen monthe investigating the rec orGs ID the Peralta>Re case. The mass of evidence that has been unearjh ed in the matter of alterations, interim cations and substitution of records by the fellow Reavis is simply astounding. His vilianies have been found on almost every page examined, not only in Spain but in Mexico. Tho authorities of these two countries have awakened to the stupenduous fraud that was being sought to be perpetrated on the United States through mutilation of their na- tIonal records, and great is their anxiety to lay hands on the notorious wrong doer. Reavis, it is known, went to Spain once, st least, and to Mexico re- peatedly in the fuItnerance of his efforts to rob Arizona and her people of a princely domain through perjury, sub bordination, Justification and destruc- tun of state and national archieves But through the good offices of the Land Court his villanies have been exposed and fellon's cell DOW overshadows the unblushiug rascal. The case will be tried in Santa Fe, N. M, June 3, 1895.
 LAND COURT NOTES.
 The life of the land court has been extended two years.
 The first case to be tried in Tucson is the San Bernardino grant m Cochise county.
 The appeal case of the Nogsles grant Will be heard before the supreme court in Washington on the second Monday in October.
 The Calabasas grant case promises to b. about the only one over which much of a contest will be made at this term of court.
 Attorney Reynolds and bis assistant, Lieut.. Flipper, have worked like ITO ians in the cause of the people and their good deeds will live after them.
 Special Attorrey MalIet Provost las made no less thau four or five visits tG Madrid ID the interest of the govern ment in the Peralta Reavis case. Attorney Reynolds had dispatch this morning from Span stating that Judge Stone and Attorney Mallet Pre- vost had completed their lsbors and would start for home at once.

ECLIPSES.

The occurrence of an eclipse no lrng CT fills the whole world with terror. The refinements of modern scientific instru- ments and methods enable astronomers to predict such events ID advance. In civilized countries education has spread the knowledge of these things and has destroyed tbe old time superstition with which everything unusual was regard ed. Still we are somewhat surprised when an eclipse steals upon us without warning.
 The common belief that an eclipse is a very rare event is proved incorrect by the facts The earth and moon are so related to one another in their journey around the sun that at least two eclipses must occur each year, and the number may be as high as seven. When there are but two both are of the sun; when seven is the number five are of the sun and two of the moon. In this year we have five, three solar and two lunar These will be in groups of two and three, for eclipses have their seasons, two year. T vice each yesr the plane of th r moons orbit cuts that of the earth. These intersections are called that eclipses occur, for then the sun, earth and moon occasionally come into same straight line. Each eclipse season continues about two weeks before and after the passage of the nodes. The eclipses are thus thrown into two groups st intervals of about six months, and are spaced about two weeks apart in the groups because a solar eclipse can orcur only at new moon, and lunar one only at full moon.
 The one observed here on Sunda, !, March 10, WAS the first of a palr, the second of which will be a partial spl' r eclipse or March p, visible in western Europe, the Atlantic ocean and N 8 Scotia, but not ID thus country. The second group consisting of three wIli be introduced by partial solar eclipse op August 20, visible only in Central A4is. The one most interesting to us will be total eclipse of the moon on Septem- Der 3, visible all over the United States The last of the group and of the year will be partial solsr eclipse on Sep tember, visible only in eastern Austrs- lia and the Pacific ocean.
 After period of about IS years and 20 days the gr ups are repeated in nearly the same order. Usually 70 eclipses occur in thIs period, fl of the sun and 29 of the moon. This Is at ratio of three to two; nevertheless at any particular place on the earth We shall see many more of the latter, for the reason that a lunar eclipse is visible to considerably more than half the world, while one of the sun is visible to but & small part of the earth.

About Railroad People.

Superindent Muir is still laughing over his marrow escape" at Santa Mon- ics when freight train ran into his prl- vate car and smashed things generally. MT. Muir was reported on board the car and stories were told of how he rushed to the front of the coach and escaped demolition. The truth was that Super intendent Muir was at home, sick in bld, when the collision occurred.
 Cupid will be compelled to get snoth- ar clerk m the Southern Pacific offices if F. H Gilbert doesn't brace up and at- tend to business. True, Mir. Gilbert has snout as much railroad work on his hands as one man can attend to, but eiuce he has started out to be Cupid's clerk he should attend to business. He entirely overlooked A. l..

AN URGENT NEED.

Properly speaking Kansas Is not one
 of the arid states. The eastern haif usually has sufficient rain for ordinary icrops: the western half is embraced in what is known as the sub-humid re- zion. Nevertheless the people of that
 state have such sn appreciation Of the
 benefits of irrigation that their leglsla~ ture las created an irrigation commls-
 sion, and has appropriated the sum Of
 $50, 900 for its use.
 Arizona is more vitally interested ID this suhject than is Kansas. Without irritation Arizona IS the most arid, with lirrigation the most fertile section of
 America. There is DO permanent pros
 perity for any locality until It Is firmly
 established on an agricultural basis. Mining may for time induce rapid
 influx of population; stock raising may yield large profits to small number or people, but these and kindred orcupa- tons are uncertain, and at best are in- capable of producing directly the neces- saries of life. Manufacturers follow, not precede an agricultural population. We have seen many deserted mining towns and camps, but where in the civilized world shall we find sn abandoned agri- cultural region? It is true that the stony hillsides of New England are DO longer able to hold their own with the smooth and fertile fields ot the west. It is also true that the misguided settlers of the alleged rain belt of western Kan sas end Nebraska and eastern Colorado are LOW sorrowfully abandoning the re- suits of years of toil and are moving to more promising localities. But these were not properly agricultural regions and should not have been occupied as such. The brilliant Thos. B. Reed once said that had the pilgrim fathers landed on the shores of Californls the New England coast would still remain an un- explored wilderness.
 The deDsely populated portions of the earth are the irrigated ones. The truth of this is seen in France, Spain, Italy, India, Egypt, China and other countries. It IS already being proved in California and Utah where irrigation has been longest practlced by Americans. There the methods which accompany lrrIga- gation, viz: small farms, diversity Of prod ucts and intense cultivation, have iu few years time shown their ability to support dense populations.
 It Is within the bounds of probability that Arizons will yet become the most thick, populated portion of the United States. The rate of advance m this d. rectior vi be measured by thetm | If -ncoura emt nt we shall gIvt i- | n te Irri.aOIon nLerpr Ses- NeI T stat hood nor tn. remopetizaii ton of si.- yer can give such a powerful urn t" the whee If progr ss aa would result from a large addit ral supply of water for irrlgatl n.
