PLUMBERS AFTER EACH OTHER.
Their Association Trying to Stop Tn
licensed WOrkingmen.

A. A. LINER was placed on the informa-
ton docket of the police court yesterday
by the officers of the Master Plumbers
Association. One of the objects of the as
ISOLATION announced at it's formation re-
Gently was to put stop to work being
done by unlicensed plumbers. 1t was
found that there were two plumbers who
had not complied with the tax ordinance
by fling bonds and taking out license
within the time specified. On investiga-
ton, however, it was found that one of
these had already taken out a license.
Mr. l.. A Mccarthy, president and T.
j. OBrien, secretary, of the plumbers as
ISOLATION, called at the city exchange yes
terday for the purpose of having Mr.. Lin
ger placed on the docket for doing work
without a license. Clerk Manucy declined
to docket the case without first notifying
Mr.. LINER, he having filed his bond as
required by law some time ago.
The plumbers insisted on having the case
docketed at once. but Mr.. Manucy re-
fused to do so. Mr.. LINER was notified by
the clerk that he was charged with doing
business without a license, and at once
came forward and took out his license
When the officers of the plumbing asso-
citation found this to be the case they
entered a charge against Mr.. LINER of
having done work without a license The
case will come IN for a hearing before
Recorder Wilson Tuesday.

PARISIAN SENTIMENT.
Seems Opposed to the Doings of Uncle
 Sam.

PARIS, March 3.-Considerable at tention is called to the Cuban situa- tion.
 The Figaro, commenting on the ac- tion of the United States, says that while the senators vote resulting from the violent attitude of General Weyler can hardly be excused, the recall of Marshal Martinez de Campos was a double error, externally and internally, inasmuch as the coming elections in Cuba may bring surprises.
 Le Petit Journal planes the United States senate for palliating the out rages of the insurgents and condemn ing the oppressive measures of Gen ral Weyler, adding, Europe one day will have to unite against this method of applying the Monroe doctrine"
 Le Libre Parole expresses the opin- ion that the intervention of the United States at every turn lis ridiculous as pelled Bismarck to recede, will not re- piled Bismarck to recede, will not re treat before Sherman, brother of the slayer of Colorado Indians"

WILD ITALIANS.
Infuriated Romans at News of Abys-
 sinian ReVerses.

ROME, March 3.-It is reported to- day that General Baratieri, commander of the Italian forces in Africa, has suf- fered another reverse at the hands of the Shoans. While advancing on .Albbasrima he was wounded.
 According to a correspondent in Africa of the Popolo Romano half the Italian artillery and all the ammuni- ton and provisions were lost.
 Other advices report 5000 Italian SOL diers killed and among them General Alberton.
 This evening it is rumored that Gen. Baratieri, when he became aware of the full extent of the disaster wrote to his successor and then shot himself. At the ministry of war this was dis credited. AS the evening wore on the worst news of the Italian defeat was confirmed. The inhabitants gave way to rage against the government. Bands of young men began parading the streets, shouting, Down with Crispi!" but were promptly dispersed by the police. All troops throughout the city were placed under arms and patrols and mounted gen darmes or dered to the leading thoroughfares. It is stated the ministry has decided to resign as a result of the popular clamor arising from the recent defeat of the Italian forces in Abyssinia.

A NOTABLE PARTY.
Phoenix Visited by the President of
 the Cotton Belt Railway.

the Cotton Belt Railway
 General Samuel w. Fordyce presi- dent of the St. Louis Southwestern railway, (the Cotton BelD arrived yes terday in his private car, via the Southern Pacific from California. He is accompanied by Thomas H. West, president of the St. Louis Trust com pany, and H. G. Fordyce of Chicago. The wives of the three gentlemen named are of the party as also Miss Jane Fordyce, daughter of the gen eral, and Miss Carrie Howard, of St. Louis. The party spent the day main ly in seeing the valley about Phoenix, under the guidance of Governor Hughes and James A. Fleming. The Indian school and other points of in terest were visited and the members of the party were enthusiastic in thir expressions of pleasure at the wonders of agriculture unfolded to them in what had been considered by them a desert land. Lunch was taken as the guests of Whitelaw Reid, who is an old friend of General Fordyce. They left in the evening for the east. At Ell Paso they will be joined by officials of the Cotton Belt and the active duties of railroad man will be resumed by the head of the party.
 General Fordyce is one of the fore most men in the National Democratic party, becoming especially prominent about the time of the National conven- tions. He is one toward whom espe- cial gratitude is felt in the territories, he being the author of the home rule plank of the Democratic platform of 1884 and the man who pushed it through. Though Democrat of the strongest type he is mildly enthusi- astic over the presidential prospects of his persona, friend and military asso- ciate, Mckinley, for whom he prophe- sies the Republican nomination on the second ballot, if not on the first. He affirms that Ohio's favorite son has the almost the undivided support of the Republicans of the states of the Mis- sissippi valley.
 It is probable that Arizona will be again visited by the distinguished railroad man. He already has invest ments aggregating about $75,0OO in the mines of Yavapai and Pina counties and believes he is interested in bo- nanzas from which great wealth is sure to come.

had again demonstrated the fact that fire in Phoenix is never allowed to spread beyond the building in which it starts.
 The loss on the building, which was owned by T. w. Pemberton, is imma- terial, as the structure would have been torn down before many months. The furniture loss of Captain Hancock is about $200, to which is to be added about $500 in surveying instruments to him belonging and about the same for instruments belonging to w. H. Beardsley. There was no insurance.

steps likely in congress on the Cuban resolutions depend upon whether the house will correct the error made by it's clerk in transmitting the reso.u lions to the senate as independent res olutions instead of as a substitute If resolutions are not recalled the senate committee on foreign relations will probably tomorrow amend the house resolutions by reporting those already agreed to in the senate as a substitute This will necessitate their considera-
 tion in the senate with possibly mo- tions to concur in the house resolu- tions or amend them. The senate committee has shown a disposition to avoid discussion and get the resolu- tions into the conference by waiting for the house to correct its error.
