THE HALLS 0F CONGRESS Little Work Done by the
 Lawmakers. Argument on the Prohibitory
 Bond Bill. Senator Phillips Continues Ills Debate on the Commis-
 sion BiIl.

WASHINGTON May 22.-So much of the time of the house was occupied today in considering the presidents veto of the bill to pension Francis B. Hoover, private in the Sixty-fourth Ohio volunteer infantry, and in listen ing to personal explanation from MT Grosvenor of Ohio relative to news paper interpretations of his posi- tion on the object of reciprocity that the time for debate on the Phillips com mission bill was extended till tomor- row. The bill provides for the ap- pointment by the president of non- partisan commission of twenty one, seven representatives each from labor, agriculture and business, to collect in formation and consider legislation to meet problems presented by the labor committee.
 The author of the bill made the prin- cipal argument today MT Phillips said in part: "This bill calls the at tention to the fundamental principles of our government; equality of men, and seeks more equitable distribution of burdens and benefits of our free gov ernment. While it is not 3. function of the state to guarantee individual hap piness. it is it's function to guarantee each individual right to pursue hap piness and so fix their laws that one class may not be compelled out of ne cessity to work solely for another class, regardless of their personal comfort and improvement. This nation took a most advanced stand in civilization and is best prepared to meet industrial issues of the day by building on the foundation 1t laid more than 100 years ago, by conforming the law to princi- ples of right, freedom, and equality and thus organize our social and in- dustrial system upon more just and equitable basis than has yet obtained in the world commission provided for the bill.' He continued: 'It is de- signed to give an impartial hearing tc those who complain of discriminating laws and unequal burdens. tit is ex, pected it will be composed of the ab.es and best of each class named.

One of the most extraordinary feat ures of the interference of Alexander with the work of the meeting lay in the fact that he had no legal voice in the deliberation, not even being citi- zen of the city. He lives full quarter of a mile north of the city limits on North Second avenue and only his con summate gall carried him into the gathering.
 Down the street last evening nothing was heard but commendation of the conventions work in it's selection of Monihon as the candidate for mayor His good service has not been forgotten and the entire population seemed a unit in approval. The business man remembered the business-like methods of conducting the affairs that prevailed during Monihons former incumbency and the laboring man remembered that the ex-mayor ever has been a man of unassuming demeanor and ever has fbeen ready and willing to rectify any wrongs that might. effect even the humblest citizen
 The general idea was expressed by one of the city's firemen: You re member the majority we gave him be- fore? We wont do thing this time but double it."

If you don't already, it is time that you did know, that Alktre's, in addi- tion to doing a mammoth dry goods and fancy goods business, has one of the comp1etest stocks of gents fur nishings in Arizona One striking pc culiarity of the gents furnishings at Alkire's is that being bought entirely in the east by the firms own buyers these goods are of the best quality ob- tainable and are made in the latest styles. Now the line of straw hats at Alkire's are especially indicative of this. If you have invested in one of them already rest assured that your headgear is O. K. for the summer and the price you paid was entirely satis- factory. The negligee shirts, white duck pants and coats, handsome and novel neckwesr and those stylish Ok ford and southern ties are most fitting companion pieces to the straw hats. To Ee fashionably, comfortably and cheap,y dressed get your outfit at Al kire's. You will live long and die happy thereby.
 There is nothing so sensible for gen. 1 tlemen's summer wear as those warm weather suits now on sale at Alkire's There is nothing, either that is cooler or looks better. When so.led they are easily washed without damage and can thus always be kept looking like new. Alkire's have made a special ef- fort in this particular direction this year and their summer suits are mar ! veis of cheapness and effect.

]. 3. M0NIHON The Citizens Candidate for Mayor. Nominated in Mass Meeting
 Last Night. Emil Gang Endorsed for
 Councilman. A Ticket That Has Popu'. 1 lar Approval. Unsuccessful Attempt of Joe | Alexander and His Sewer i Gang to Break Up the
 Meeting.
A Ticket That Has Popu.
 lar Approval.

Ex-Mayor James D. Monihon was last night nominated for mayor on the citizens ticket.
 The meeting was held at the city hall and was in pursuance to joint call of the chairman of the city Republican and Democratic central committees. The hall was packed and the enthusi- asm was at times even uproarious.
 R. c. Lowell wasxehairman of the meeting and Pierce Evans secretary. l. was the latter to whom fell the pleas ant task of placing in nomination the candidate named. The city attorney was in good voice and enthusiastic on his subject. He spoke of Mir Monihon as "the best mayor the city ever had" a statement that brought cheers of af- firmation. He spoke of the prior ser vice of his candidate in the city execu- tive chair, his monument yet standing in the memory of his clean, intell. gent, economical and honest administration. During the year that Jim Monihon was mayor the city prospered, as she had never before or since. The mayor, a man of the people, yet a man of the largest property interests, was known to be stable and safe. The plots of the schemers of whatever kind had been repulsed at time when they were the most active. There is now aga.n at hand just such crisis. The enemies of the treasury are preparing their campaign, and against them and for the people will this candidate stand in corruptible and safe.
 The nomination was made unani- nous in all enthusiasm, after which Emil Gang, the nominee of the Demo- cratic party for the same position, was nominated unanimously for council man from the Second ward. Adjourn nient was then in order, after which the petition, in conformity with the Australian ballot law, was prepared and signed
 The only disagreeable feature was an attempt of Joe Alexander to capture it in the interest of the Democratic nom- inee for mayor and especially that his iniquitous schemes might be sustained in the coming council. The meeting well understood, however, the real in terest of this individual in city poll l tics and knew that under his contro the present sewer system, obsolete worn out and inadequate and useless would be foisted upon the taxpayers to be by them paid for at an eXorbitan price.

A FREAK OF NATURE.-An extraor-
binary result of an operation, said to
be unique in medical history, is stated
by the Vienna correspondent of the
Standard to have been reported from
the Czech University, in Prague. Prof.
Maydi recently opened the abdominal
cavity of a young man, aged nineteen,
scholar at the Technical College in
Brunn, who had suffered since his
childhood from growth extending
from the backbone downward. The
professor found between the spine and
intestines the undeveloped form of a
child, without a head, but with dis
cernible extremities, covered with fat
and grown over with hair. According
to the suggestion of the professor, the
growth Is twin child which for some
reason or other grew into the lower
part of the body of the child that was
actually born. The theory, of course,
requires confirmation. The lad operated
upon 10 now quite we'll and out OF
danger.

took up the matter of the ordering out of the
troops by Governor Bradley. The House
which is republican. declared that the Gov

people contemplate testing the validity
of the Maupin anti-pool-selling act was
read with interest by the friends there
Of that law. Gov. O'Ferrall, when
seen on this subject, said he knew moth
ing of the movement to test the law in
the courts. All he desired to say is
that he proposed to see that this and
other laws are enforced. He declared
that the race track people of st. Asaph
and elsewhere in the State had as well
make up their minds that the Maupin
law will be rigidly enforced, even if
extraordinary steps have to be taken to
enforce this object.

was commenced at the st. Asaph track
according to the announcement of yes
terday. There were no books, but The

track laws passed by the last Legisla-
ture. Up to o'clock no arrests had
been made, but it is said that warrants
