INVOLVES MILLIONS,
Tho Great Government Suit
Against tho Stanford Estate.
ORDERS 10 PUSH WITHOUT DELAY
Como irom wnshinSton-sfrs. Stan.
fnrd Anxious for spoody Decision.
Tho Result will DO Far Reaching.
Points on Which tho Government
Relics for its Caso-E.ioctcd to DO
Tried In june.

SAN Francisco, May 3.-Special Gov.
crnment Attorney l., d. McKissick has
received kilograms insnucling him to
push tho government suit for Sl5, 900.
900 against Mrs. Jano Stanford without
delay.
Mrs. Stanford was recently in Wash.
inG.on. llpr trip to the capital Ia said
to harc boon solcly for tho purpose Of
urging upon the law department tho
Importance OF an immediate action ON
the Sl5.0OO.000 claim. She had con.
ceived tho idea that tho government
was delaying tho suit and making no
a,tompt TO have It terminated at an
carly date, but tho. attorney general 10.
surcd hcr that tho government had no
purpose in OBTAINING tho hearing OF the
case.
Tho governments casc is wholly In
tho hands OF Attorney L. D. McKissick.
Tho government has been writing, how.
ever, for Mrs. Staniord's counsel to
mike appearance and file their answers
in the United States circuit court. Tho
time Tor answering will not expire for
several days. and rs soon ne full reply 10
made the government: will BIO ready to
proceed with the case. Mrs. Staniord'a
anxiety TO have u hearing is based on
her desire to perfect an appeal In tho
event o., au adverse decision by the DC.
tobor term Of the supreme court
Tho suit by which tho government
seeks to melt away tho Stanford millions
was begun on March lG 1t runs in
the name OF tho United States, and
Mrs. Stanford is defendant as executor
OF her husbands last will. Tho COM
plant recites that under the provision
Of the old constitution Of California.
the Southern Pacific Railway Company
was organized by Leland Stanford,
Charles Croker aud others, and that
rs such company they became liable to
the government for an interest and
principal OF certain government bonds
issued in aid OF the company.
The government suit is far reaching
in its ramifcations. for II Mrs. Stanford
rs executor is held liable to damages
other railroad managers could not hope
TO escape.
1t is probable that the defendants
answer will DO filed soon after her ar
rival hero in few days, and that the
case will be heard by June, so that the
appeal will reach the October term OF
the United States supreme court.

Killed on the Desert.

On Monday, Feb. 1, 1895, w. J. Geer was run over and killed be light en- zine on the Southern Pacific going to Indio. When about three miles east of Palm Springs the man suddenly appear ed on the track only rod from the en zine. The supposition IS that he threw uims-lf ID front of the engine with sui cidai intent.
 Among hls effects was found policy issued by hsyer (Mo.) Lodge, No. 2O3 Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. The c roner of Riverside county, who Is investigating the case, thinks the man was insane and threw himself iu front of the engine.
 MT. Geer left here last Saturday for California He was stranger here and little IS known of him. He made the scauaintance of James Williams 8 couple of days previous to his leaving town. Mir. Williams saw he was very sick man and on being asked ny Greer if he knew of any place where he could lay down for a few hours without be- ing disturbed he took him 10 his own room and nursed him for two days. Dur ing the rLeantime he sad bis paren s lived in La Grange, Ga, and If bis mother knew he was eick she would send him money. At his request MT. Williams telegraphed tte mother but received no answer. Ger thinking his mother would not send the money and feeling much stronger started to beat nis way to California. The following day after bis departure for Califor nia the Mayor of the village, Capt. F. s. Ingalls,, received a letter from his mother, asking him if it was fact her son was sick and if true to inform her immediately and she would forward money. The loving mother, no doubt knew her son was little wild and of rowing disposition and took this precau- tion to protect herself and him The letter, like many others arrived too late and on it's receipt the beloved son lay dead and msDgled on the desert and now fills another unmarked grave in the desert waste.

Some Good Advice.

We gladly print the following commu- nlcation and commend its suggestions to our readers. Professor J. w. You mey, the writer, is the Botanlst aod En- Lomologist of the Agricultural Experi- ment Station of the University of Ari Zona:
 There is DO better time for the de- structioD of many of our injurious in- sects than at present. The locust trees of southern Arizona have for the past several years been seriously injured each season by yhe locust bag worm (Diketl- GUS Townsendii, Riley). Since the leaveshave fallen many cocoon-like sacks, or bags, may be seen suspended from the twigs and branches. The bags are th, houses of 8 small insect which feed> upon the foliage. They are from one to two inches in length, aad are construct ed from small pieces of leaves closely bound together by threads of silk, the whole lined with a thick mat of silk. Duri g the winter these suspended bags ara flied with egg, which, if not de- Stroyed, will hatch Tn early spring and the young larvae will soon str p the leaves from the treee. The injury that this insect has done during the past few years hes been considerable. It does not feed entirely upon the locust, but has been found upon quite variety of plsnts, including the apple, peach and apricot. Last year the locust trees in the small park at the San Xavier hotel, at Tucson, and the willow trees in the court house yard in the same city, were -lmost entirely defolisted by thIs insect. With but little labor. at this season, these conspicuous insect eases may be gathered and destroyed and the trees saved from repetition of the experience of last spring.
 It will soon be the season for the planting Of trees, both for economic and ornamental purposes. There is not better tree to plant along streets and drivewsys than our native white has (Fraxinus plstac8folia, Torrl. This tree grows Tn considerable abundance along nearly every stream and wash in southern Arizona. It has the advan> tage over introduced species in that 1t will grow with 8 minimum amount of water and attention. The tree grows rapidly, and in from three to five years becomes beautiful, symmetrical. well
 Ddpeu b'cc.
 The desert willow. (Chilopsis saligna, Flow is another tree well worthy of piac- among our ornamental trees. This species has flowers very similar to the talpa, and the tree IS much more graceful and attractive. It grows in abundance throughout southern Ari- Zona.
 It is earnestly recommended to those who have not an abundance of water for irrigation purposes, and not the time to give ample care and attention to tree culture, that they select their shade and ornamental trees from among those na- tive to the Territory. Trees already growing here are accustomed to our dry, hot climate. They will grow and be- come attractive where other trees will perish.

THE LOAN COMMISSION SUIT.

The suit brought some time since by Francis J. Heney at the time he was at torney general, to enioin the payment of warrants drawn in favor of Governor Murphy and his brother mem bers of the loan commission, WAS up before Judge Baker in PhoenIx few days since and dismissed on dem urrer. Judge Chal- mers, upon whose shoulders the respon- sibi.ity of the prosecution fell, virtually acknowledged that he had DO case at bar when he admitted to the court that such suits could be brought only with the consent and approval of the executive of the territory. As this consent was with held, there was nothing to do but to sustain the demurrer raised by the de- fense, which Judge Baker did. In sum- ming up his conclusions he said:
 "In affirmatively 1t appears from the record tbat the suit was filed against the will of the governor, and that It's pres- ent standing ID this court is without hls consent and against bis will and desire ThIs appears from the return of the at torney representing the territory, filed in this court, who does not claim to have any power to proceed against the ex- pressed will of the executive.
 'rhe question is fafrly presented: Can the attorney general su- the territorIa treasurer against the will of the gover, nor, and maintain such 8 suit in the name of the territory, against his pro- test? think not. Any other View would lead to tha utter con'usior in tn. administration of p- olic affairs ID thii
