Railroad News.

Now that the building. of the Hud- son reservoir and dam in the box can yon of Salt river is next to an assured fact, no little impetus is given to the question of building a railroad into this valley. Parties recently from Phoenix state that the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific are both making plans for commencing construction at once, and the result will be that Flor ence will soon have two roads instead of one.
 The efforts of the Southern Pacific to secure coal near Solomonville have proven failure so far, and the eyes of railroad men are now directed to the coal fields of Pinal county, on the San Carlos Indian reservation. An agent of the Interior Department is now on the ground, and will soon make his re- port. That it will be favorable is confidently believed.
 The presence of Government engin- eers at the Buttes, making survey of the immense reservoir site at that point, is another reason why the rail road men are so active at this time.
 Taking all these things into con sideration, the outlook for Pinal county was never 50 bright as at this time
 True, times are dull at present; but it is always darkest just before dawn.
 People who are leaving here now are making mistake, and those who are coming in are taking advantage of the opportunity of lifetime.

 From the A Albuquerque Citizen.l
 The eighteen delegates to the Ma tional Republican convention from the three territories of New Mexico, Ari- zona and Oklahoma will constitute an element able to command some respect and consideration, if they stand together and work as unit; but if they go to the convention divided in their choice and favoring two or three different candidates and as many different lines of policy, their influence will not amou to enough to command any re- spect. For this reason there ought to be a thorough understanding in ad- vance, and the matter ought to be con sidered and discussed before the terri torial conventions are held, so that there may be q concert of action from the start, and that our delegates may all go to St. Louis knowing just what they are going to do when they get there.
 Everyone knows the difference in eff fectiveness between Q company of well drilled troops and an unorganized mob, and there will be just the same differ ence in this matter. The first duty of our delegates to the national conyen- ton vpll be to work for the interests of thsse territories, and if they go there well organized and determined to pull together to that end, they can accom- plish all that our people hope for, but if they work at cross purposes all their strength will be frittered away and nothing will be accomplished. Hence there should be distinct understand ing among the Republicans of the three territories before the conventions are held. that delegates are to be appointed with this end in view, and we suggest that the Republican papers of the ter ritories take up the question and bring it prominently before the party.

war; and of course the time-worn rumor
of the queen abdicating in favor of the
Prince of Wales will be revived, al
though little or no attention will be paid
to it. Perhaps it will happen when
everyone has settled down to the firm
belief that it is without the scope of
possibility.
The queens health has been bad for
a long time, and it is worse now than
ever. The substantial London papers
seldom refer to 1t, except when some
very slight improvement has been not
ed, and the unsubstantial papers, which
do refer to it, are not believed by any
one; but in this particular they are
more truthful than the others, because
they are not hampered by sentimental
delicacy. If the queens health were
better there would be almost as big a
celebration and as great hullabaloo
raised as there was in 1887, when she
completed her so years of service on
the throne.
Another thing which interferes with
the plans of those who want to make
great time of it is the coronation of the
young car of Russia, which takes place
on May 20 at Moscow. The Prince of
the ceremony, and all of fashionable
London will do as he does. In all prob
ability the queen will spend her nth
birthday with fewer of the lights of
royalty about her than ever before, as
it will be impossible for those to go to
Moscow and take part In the coronation
ceremonies to be back in London on
May "a. But the anniversary of her
reign will not pass off so lightly.
Everyone will have a good time, with
the exception, perhaps, of the old queen
herself, whose principal desire in life is
to be let alone, so that she can do as she
pleases.
With the anniversary so near at hand
1t is a matter of interest now to look
back couple Of generations to the days
when Victoria first took hold Of the
reins of power. The same day that the
old king died-June 20, 1837-Victoria
was declared queen of England and all
that that implies. That same night she
held her first council with the great
government leaders of the day-Peel,
Russell, Aberdeen, Palmerston, Grey
and Melbourne, and a score of others.
This took place in Kensington palace,
the young queen, dressed in white, sit
ting in a chair on low platform and
facing long table. Around this table
were the big men, some sitting and
others standing. The queen was so lit
tie, or the chair so high, that her feet
did not reach the platform, and even
when a cassack was placed in front of
her she had to sit well forward in the
chair to touch 1t with the end Of her
toes.
Nothing of great import was done by
the queen at this council. She agreed
to what was proposed, and everyone
was happy. The old kings body laid
in state, and the funeral did not take
place until July 8. The next day the
queen dissolved parliament, and on the
18th she went to Buckingham palace,
where she remained until November Q.
Her first temperance was at a banquet
given at the Guildhall by the lord may
or of London and the aldermen of the
city.
This was perhaps one Of the most pop

QUEEN VICTORIA AT II.

GRAND CELEBRATION IN VIEW
A Great Time Would Be Made IL Her

land Had Less Trouble.

On the Gath day of next May
Queen Victoria will be n years old,
and on the goth of June next she
will have reigned for So years-longer
than any king or queen in the history
of England, and but for the fabulous
tales of the ancients longer than any
monarch in the history of morarchs.
These two events coming SO closely
together mean a big celebration. What
the nature of 1t will be depends largely
upon the queens health and the dispo-
sition of the more serious matters now
occupying the attention of English roy
atty and statesmen. With English
people the invariable rule is business
first and pleasure afterward. They love
their queen, but they would rather
know just now whether the nation is to
be plunged into tremendous war than
to plan a grand celebration. But there
will be tremendous time, war or no

up. But freedom of speech was limited,
