PRESCOTT, Ariz., May 31, 1895.
 There is probably hS more interesting character in the territory or none more intimate with it's early history than old Judge Fleury. The visitor in Prescott is conducted to an old log cabin in the west end of the town and is shown the first capitol and gubernatorlal mansion. The story of the appointment! of John N. Goodw of Maine as governor, Richard B. Mccormick of Jamaica. Long Island. secretary, and Henry P. Fleury assistant secretary of Arizona by President Lincoln In 1863 is an old and oft told tale. The object of their sudden coming and hurried appoint ment was to save California to the union. The southern route by way of Fl Paso and Fort Yuma was the prin- cipal avenue of communication between California and the states. When it was known that negotiations were on foot between California and the southern confederacy, it WAS at once deemed ad visable by President Lincoln to estab- llsh a federal government in Arizona and thereby cut off further communica- tion.
 The arrival of Governor Goodwin at Navajo Springs in Decemb Der. 1863, and his first proclamation from that point are the beginning of the legislative his- tory of Arizona. The celebration st the Springs, which immediately followed the temporary camp of the federal off, cers at Chino valley, the final establish ment of the seat of government st Pres colt, although the stationery, which had been brought in an immense box, was all dated Tucson, are subsequent events of the expedition.
 The first legislature, says Judge Fleury, was composed of remarkably fine body of men. The delegation from Tucson was conspicuous then as in these later years by brilliancy of intel lect, as well as political sagacity. Rep resentatiye Capron of that district, while opposed to the appointment of a chaplain, was unwilling to go on record as such, and with his colleagues endeav- ored to prevent the presentation of the name of Bishop Boyd. who accompanied the Goodwin company for that office. In spite of the primeval lobbying of the Tucson delegation the name of Bishop Boyd was presented and in fit of true Tucson insubmissiveness the name of Judge Fleury, who had no pretension of being of the cloth, was offered in opposition by Representative Capron.
 One of the Santa Cruz delegates arose to inquire which candidate had the greater amount of whisky. Capron loudly declared that Judge Fleury had several five. gallon kegs at his command and he WAS forthwith elected over his vertically ordained opponent on a pure whisky platform. The council ad journed to celebrate the victory with the house and the day following the lower house adjourned to celebrate with another five-gallon keg the concurrence with the upper branch in the nomina- tionof Chaplain Fleury.
 Such was the first Tucson legislation and thus was the first legislative chap lain elected.
 Judge Fluery, now justice of the peace of Prescott precinct, relates many interesting experiences of the early days of the government. no less

 NEW YORK, June S.-Dan Stewart Of Dallas, Texas, is here as representative of syndicate of Dallas men, and forti- fled with a certified check for $4, 100 to make arrangements to have the pro- posed Corbett- Fitzsimmons fight pulled off in Dallas.
 In reply to 6 question regarding the possibilities of it being fought success fully in the Lone Star state, MT. Stsw- art said: "There is no doubt about bringing off the fight. There is no Texas statute which will be violated by such an exhibition, and I can assure you that gentlemen are anxious to have the fight take place who would not have anything to do with it if there was any thing illegal about the matter. The fight if possible will take place in the daytime. We have made provisional arrangements with railway companies aud our friends from the north and west will have low rates."
 It is not likely the principals, Cor bett or Fitzsimmons or their managers, will be consulted for day or two.

mo. sir; that Is an erroneous impres.
sion, due in part to the false reports Of the
Spanish authorities and also to the mis-
understanding as to factors at work on
the Cuban people. The Cubans en- masse
are In favor of the revolution, but for a
few home rule leaders who still cling to
the deluded hope that Spain will give
them self-government.
'TndependefiHe Is the only solution to
the Cuban problem and the only aim for
which we are striving. There is no such
thing as race question, for the two divi-
sions are clear, and each has its own par
ticular sphere in which they work. There
are few brave negroes among the troops
who are fighting as hard and nobly for
their independence as the whites"

tinue at this rate, Spain, whose credit is
not of the best, may find herself in a bad
position.
Besides this, he is killing the army. AS
soon as he hears Of the appearance of the in
surgents, he marches regiment after regi-

soldiers with forced marches, subjecting
them to the inclemency Of the rain and the
burning heat of the sun. This demor-
