FOR FREE SILVER.
Visit to Phoenix of Its Apostle, Ex-
 Congressman Bryan.

Congressman W. J. Bryan of Nebraska arrived yesterday from the south coming from lecture tour in New Mexico. Like Rienzi, he mod estly affirmed he came not here to talk, but a number of local friends of the 164to-1 cause prevailed upon him to the end that in the evening at the city hall he delivered an address upon ''The Silver Question"
 The hall was well filled despite the short notice and those who attended were indeed well repaid. Though MT. Bryan is a Democrat he joinA with the Republicans of the west in the belief that the all absorbing political ques- tion, superior even to the tariff, is that of the future existence of the white metal as coin-not a plaything for the bankers and finance jugglers of Wall street. He clearly showed the iniquity of the process that finally led to silver's virtual demonetization and scored the president in no mild terms as an accessory to the soandalous methods of robbery that have brought the country through Wall street to disaster.
 The meeting was presided over by Mayor Rosson and was entirely non partisan in character and in attend ance. In it the fame of MT. Bryan as an orator of the highest distinction was we'll appreciated and the silver cause was given an impetus that has not before been known in Arizona.
 During the day MT. Bryan was driven out around the city and ad- jacent farming country and declared himself as enlisted in the army of friends of the Salt River valley. He leaves this morning for Prescott, there to speak this evening, after which he will resume his journey eastward to i Nebraska.
 ''This Southwestern tour has been under the auspices of no bi-meitallic league" said he to a Republican rep resentatiNe. Indeed, I did not start out to lecture, but to visit friends in New Mexico. I had been in every western state and territory save Ari- Zona, and so here I came, to complete 1 the list.''
 i In congress and upon the stump MT Bryan has for years fought silver battles and now when retired from 1 congressional halls, he stiM from his | tripod, as editor of the Omaha World Herald, continues to throw defiance at the eastern money power.

CAPTURED.
On of the Robbers Who Participated in
 the Morenci Killing.

Graham County Bulletin: It will be remembered by the readers of The Bulletin that during the fight with the robbers at Morenci who broke into the store of Becker & McCormick nearly month ago, and who killed Pablo Salcido, two of them escaped and not Withstanding the earnest efforts of the officers in that vicinity, succeeded in getting entirely away.
 Sheriff Arthur Wight since then has been in constant correspondence with the authorities at Fl Paso and other border towns, giving the description of the men who made their escape and asking that lookout be kept for them.
 On Tuesday he received telegram from the sheriff in Fl Paso and also one from the American consul at Juarez informing him that one of the men had been captured and was then in the Mexican jail at Juarez.
 Sheriff Wight left on Wednesday s train for Fl Paso and if he encounters no trouble in getting his man, will have another of the robbing and mur- dering gang behind prison bars by to- morrow night.

IN TIE CITY CHURCHES.
Record of a Weeks De-
 VOtiOnS.
Services that Were Held on the
 Sabbath.
Progress of the Several Societies that Labor for Religious
 Advancement.

At the morning service in the Pres- byterian church the pulpit was oceu- pied by Rev. Chas. 0. Kloss, pastor of the Tabernacle Congregational church of Kansas City. MT. Kloss selected his text from Heb. ix, 22, and in his open ing remarks he contrasted briefly the idea of Christ as represented in art today with that represented two or three centuries ago. Formerly He was portrayed as weak and effeminate, but now the artist brings out the idea of a strong, true man. Weakness. indi- cated strength rather than weakness, and Christ who was able to bring his will under subjection and make so great sacrifice for sin was necessarily the very embodiment of strength.
 The speaker then made a practical application of the sacrificial idea. Sacrifices are necessary in the home, in the church, in personal effort and in affairs of state. As an example of sacrifices in politics he referred to Pingree, mayor of Detroit, who is sacrificing time, money and personal comfort in the interests of his city. His remarks along this line were most timely and coincided with the ideas advanced by the Christian citizenship movement.
 MT. Kloss was pleasantly remem- bered by his hearers as having lectured in. Phoenix four years ago while visit ing this valley.

 Railway Rates.

WASHINGTON, Jan 27-The two senators from Utah, Frank J. Cannon and Arthur Brown, were on the floor of the senate today for the first time. They were the center of an animated group in the rear of the chamber, where the senators gathered to extend to them warm welcome.
 Rev. Dr. Milburn, the blind chap lain, prayed eloquently for bleeding Armenia.
 Senator Baker of Kansas presented a petition from Mrs. Waller, wife of eX-United States consul at Madagascar, reciting her husbands arrest, trial by drumhead court and transportation in chains to a French prison. Mrs. Walters petition recites: ''By these acts France has held my husband, an American citizen, as an imprisoned felon for the past ten months and be- lieve and am sure that had my hus- band been subject of Great Britain he would long since have been re- leased Mrs. Waller asks the Ameri- can congress to take suitable action.
 Senator Peffer, Populist of Kansas, offered a resolution calling.llpon the 1AtCloOdulC COdlAOlNC COu1ullSSIUu lUT information as to the discrimination on passenger and freight rates to and from Missouri river points. The reso- lution went over.

 At 1 o'clock Senator Hansbrough of North Dakota addressed the senate on a resolution instructing the secretary of agriculture to execute the law con- corning the distribution of seeds.

KILLED AT FOOLS GULCH A Robber who Robbed
 Too Often.
Shot by SaIoonkeeper John
 Mcdonald.
A Lively Episode in Which Superin- tendent Clark Conspicuously
 Figured.

Fools Gulch is a little mining camp located off to the northeast of Con- gress station, three miles on the trail that leads to the Yarnell mine. Here since the start of active work on the Plamet-Saturn and other mines, has arisen a lively little mining camp, fairly typical of the liveliest of the kind, save only in population. Sa- looms there are, Of course, in plenty and in one of these saloons Sunday night a desperado was sent to his ina! reckoning.
 William Mckee, traveller for the Trask+Kesler company, was in the vicinity at the time and from him the following facts were secured:
 About two weeks ago Hoffman's sa loon at the gIlch was held up by an armed and masked robber who se cured $22 in coin and a valise filled with Hoffman's wearing apparel. The valise and part of it's contents were afterward found near the camp, but the robber was missing.
 Sunday night about 10 he turned up again, this time at saloon kept by John Mcdonald. Quickly and quietly at the point of a revolver he raised the hands of Mcdonald and of two miners who were in the saloon at the time. The robber was proceeding to investi- gate the till when w. A. Clark, su- perintendent of the Planet-Saturn, entered the hut that serves as a bar room. Clark is we'll known in Phoenix as a nervy and powerful man, but he saw the logic of the pistols argument and up in the air went his hands as we'll.
 The robber secured about s10 in cash from Clark and then, lingering Clark s watch, remarked upjon the excellent quality of the timepiece. That was Clark's opportunity. Like a flash he clutched the pistol and the miners jumped to his aid The robber re- fused to surrender and was engaged in making the liveliest kind of a fight against odds, when Mcdonald, who had run behind the bar and secured a l revolver, shot the fellow through the head. Death was instantaneous. The bullet entered two inches behind and below the left ear and lodged behind | the farther side of the skull. The body was recognized as that oi John Lane, cowboy who had lived 1 near the camp for few weeks, coming from Chapparel, Yavapai county where he at one time kept butcher shop. He was generally considered worthless and a bad customer.
 A summary jury passing on the kill l ing, found it was done in self-defense ! and SO returned it's verdict.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

All services were well attended, quite number of new faces being mo- ticed in the congr egation.
 The Y. P. s. c. F. at o'clock was led by Fred Dysart in a very inter- esting and attractive manner.
 Next Sunday evening the meeting vii! be led by Misses Olive Walbridge and Winnie Dysart.
 Rev. Ogburn preached at Il o'clock on the Early Ministry of Jesus," and his discourse was pronounced by those who heard it one of his best. He be- gan tby describing the worship of the Jews at that time as cold and formal, and lacking in spirituality, but was free from all taint of idol worship. It was the custom of Jesus to attend services. in the synagogues and to par ticipate in the services. He did not stay away as a great many church members do at the present time be- cause the services did not exactly suit him. From this he drew a very point ed and pertinent lesson. In almost every church there is a minority of critics and growlers, who complain of everything that is done. They criti- ClSS Cue OuICIdi UOdIu, Jue preacher, the choir, the Sunday school superin- tendent and teachers. Instead of help ing to improve the services, they try to discourage those who are doing the best they can. He said we should en- i courage good and right from what ever source it came, even though we could not endorse the entire work and belief of the organization. It is easy to neutralize the good that otherwise would be done by presenting the word of God. The preacher and the officers ; of the church need the prayers and the sympathy of all.
 In the evening his theme was Per sonal Salvation" and was intensely in- teresting. He spoke of the nature of salvation and it's necessity and de- sirability. Some think salvation re- fers only to the world to come, when in reality it applies to this life. The Christian religion not cn,y saves from l hell, but saves from sin and tempta- ton and wrong doing in this life. He would not ask any one to accept Jesus Christ as his Saviour because his re- hgion was good to die by, but because it is good to live by, and makes men better and happier in this world.

resolution was announced and MT. Quigg of New York, a member of the foreign affairs committee, moved that the senate resolution be substituted for that of the house. He explained that the difference between the resolu- tions was so slight that it was not ad- visafble in view of the passage of the senate resolution to press one prepared by the house committee. MT. Hep burn of Iowa, Republican, gave notice of an amendment to the Armenian resolution instructing the president to give the Turkish minister his pass port and end all diplomatic relations with Turkey. MT. Hit, chairman of the foreign affairs committee, rebuked Mir. Hepburn for his extraordinary proposal. Mir. Hepburn's amendment was defeated.
 The Armenian resolution, un- amended, was adopted by the house.
