stitution of the name of Senator Daniel for
that OF David p. Hill. Mr.. Thomas said while
there have been no minority reports tenn
porary officers in the past, 1t was because the
committee had always reported in accord with
the wish of the majority of delegates in the
convention.
Mr.. Thomas concluded with an argument
that the adoption of the minority report was
not against, but in accordance with demo-
cratic precedent.
Hon. Charles E. Waller, of Alabama, next
took the platform in support OF the minority
report. He disclaimed any intention by the
action they were about to take to reflect upon
their eastern friends. They had given New
York every democratic nomination for the last
rs years, and western and southern democrats
had stood by them. Why. he asked. could not
the eastern men do as they did In
the west when they had lost a campaign-give
the victors the entire management OF the party
organization: He closed by saying he and his
friends thought they were entitled to this nom
ination and that the committee ought to have
given IL TO them.
NJ. F. Tarpey, OF California, told the conven-
ton in seconding the motion to adoptthe minor
ity report that the democratic party had been
losing faith in it's adherence because II had
failed 10 keep faith with the voters by adher-
ing TO the platform lcheersl. The keynote of
the convention. he said, silver, and he
thought silver man should be selected.
Short, stout, smooth-faced John r. Fellows,
OF New York, walked down the main aisle to
talk In favor of HILL and as he was recognized
great cheer broke forth from the New York
and other eastern delegations. He re-
ceived with cheers as he came TO the platform.
He paid tribute to the splendid ability and
long established democracy OF the gentleman
from Virginia, Mr. Daniel. and should
he be nominated to place the
ticket by this convention New York
would gladly have given him support. But
grave principles were involved In the question
| now presented. Democratic traditions were to
be trampled down and the whole life OF the
senator from Virginia repelled the suggestion

brief authority" One might have sup
posed that the best and easiest way
was to admit everybody entitled to
admission as they presented their
cards or badges. But, instead of
that, they were detained for
hours until it suited the caprice of
the sergent-at-arms to order the doors
to be opened. Then, at 11:30, there
was a sweeping of the human waves
through the vestibule of the hall (the
portion cut off from the rest of the
building), and the seats began to fill up
to the music of brass band playing
popular airs.

THE WALKER ESTATE.
An Important Point Raised in the Su-
 preme Court.

Supreme court reconvened yesterday morning. No decisions were an- nounced.
 The main cause for the day was the old appeal from probate suit over the John D. Walker estate, affecting the ownership of the famous Vekol mine south of Casa Grandey, and the pos session of about 5000 supposed to be on deposit in Los Angeles bank. The parties at interest are the brothers of the deceased pioneer and the daugh- ter, Juana Walker, offspring of de- ceased and of a Pima. squaw In the lower court the suit went adversely to the Indian girl, the court declaring the marriage of the parents void and il- legal, it having been.sby the Indian mode; upon this ruling the daughter was therefore adjudged to have no rights in court. se
 In the supreme court the appellant is represented by Attorneys Street, Woodward and McCabe and the Walk CT brothers by Attorneys Barnes and Stillwell. #
 Yesterday morning Judge Street in his argument brought forth in an ex- ceptionally strong manner point that greatly interested the attendant law yers. Counsel did not combat the rul- ing of the lower court on the ground of legality of the marriage tie that loosely bound John ID. Walker to his Pima bride, but, almost entirely confined himself to the point that after cutting out the evidence of marriage, the girl, lby territorial statute, is yet entitled to inherit without regard to legitimacy, on proof of descent
 Argument in. the case consumed the entire day and will continue this morn ing.

 About 8 week ago Brent Kirkland was investigating the workings of some high-speed machinery in Cope lands shops. He investigated to the extent of a finger neatly clipped off below the first joint. The dismem- bered portion was hastily picked out of the dirt and Dr. Swetnam hastily called in. The surgeon neatly sewed the piece to the stump and now the union is complete and the finger is saved.
 What is undoubtedly the handsom- est set of harness ever constructed in Arizona was finished lately in the shop of J. c. iHolsebusch, the result of the skill of Workmen Switzer and Can ming.

 One of the surprises of the season, as much to residents as to visitors, was the appearance on parade yesterday of the Indian school brass band of sixteen pieces. It is now but three and half months since Instructor Siston taught each of his dusky pupils how to hold an instrument, and yet the success of yesterday was pronounced. There was no need for any allowance for racial disadvantage-the playing was tune ful, the music was followed and the marching was precise.
 The case of Mrs. Carrie H. Wilson, charged with an assault with intent to murder, against Mrs. Hammond, Saturday night, came before Justice Morris yesterday afternoon. Several witnesses were examined for the pros ecution, all telling the same story of Miss Hammond's incessant annoyance Iby the small boys of the neighborhood, and how finally she had caught Will son boy and had applied corporal pun ishment, thus starting Mrs. Wilson on the warpath. The case was continued till this morning.
 l. Sunday afternoon tramp was beat en and shot at Maricopa by Conductor Long, upon whose train the man was attempting to beat his way, in com pany with a dozen other hobos. The bullet destroyed an eye and lodged within the skull, making a wound that will probably prove fatal The South ern Pacific officials are reported to have refused to do anything for the in- jured man, and he was at last accounts lying in boXcar at Maricopa in need of everything that mercy could be- stow. Maricopa is in Pinal county, but if the usual procedure is adopted the man will find his way into the Maricopa county hospital, if his in juries do not prove fatal. The con- ductor is still at large.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
Morning Discourse of Pastor Preston
 Mckinney.

A large congregation attended the morning service at the Presbyterian church. The pastor preached the ser mon, taking his text from John XIV, 16. He described briefly the scene of the text. The Master is talking with the disciples, giving them His parting counsel and parting blessing and while their hearts are thus filled with intense feeling He seeks to impress them with g consciousness of their relations to Him and what such relations imply, knowing that impressions made at such an hour would be likely to abide
 The great secret of Christian dis cipleship is in it's origin. It began not in the disciples choice of the Master, but in the Masters choce of the dis ciples.
 The Master has not chosen His dis ciples that they might assume the po- sition of imlbeciles or dependents, but rather that they should be like faithful soldiers, always on duty, being not dis outraged by their own feebleness, but instead, acknowledging it and thereby gaining strength by relying upon Christ. Christian discipleship should also be faithful. What the man Christ would be as a citizen of Phoenix, or a visitor or transient resident, this you are to be as his disciple. The fruit of Christian discipleship should be lasting. The right kind of a man is a fixed character, not blown away like chaff when the wind rises. The apos- ties remained the right kind of men in the jaws of death, in martyrdom, and the influence of these men has re- mained greater today than when they were living.
