7'lorary Zlb fE BLIND SEE.
in This Line With the
 Cathode Ray.

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-Thomas A. Edison has verified the experiments reported to have been made in San Francisco in which, by means of the Cathode ray blind boy has been en- abled to distinguish light Edison ex- perimented last night on two subjects, both blind, from Newark, N. J. Many tubes were tried, each with increased strength, and finally the subjects were enabled to distinguish flashes. One of the men was able to say, after time, when the light was turned on and off. The most successful results were at tained with the aid of red globe and it is MT. Edison's intention to continue experimenting in this line until much more satisfactory results are arrived at, which he confidently predicts will be soon.

THE INDIANS DISAPPROVE.
Hence the Gila Valley & Globe Rail
 way Project Is Delayed.

Globe, Arizona, from the strides in copper mining that are being made promises to be before long the most ex- tenSive producer of that bullion in the territory.
 Hon. James A. Fleming recently purchased two large reverberatory fur naces and the necessary machinery, in cluding boilers and engines, at Denver, Colorado, which are now in transit to Globe to reduce the ores of the Black Warrior group of mines that have re- gently passed into the hands of the Black Warrior Mining company, of which MT. Fleming is the president. Dr. j. M. Ford is associated with him in the company. A fourth interest in the property is held by a New York firm, one of the largest firms in the United States handling copper bullion.
 The furnaces are of the most ap- proved design and have a capacity of 300 tons per day of twenty-four hours. Ample ore is blocked out already to give long run to the furnaces, and development of that character is being pushed. A great drawback to Globes progress is lack of cheap transporta- tion. Tie projected railroad (the Gila Valley & Globe) to that point does not meet the approval of the San Carlos reservation Indians who seem to eXer- else the rights of eminent domain. As it is now, all freight to and from Globe has to be hauled by teams some sixty miles.

SOUR ORANGES.
Where the Growers If CaiissssEEs1;a
 Make Grave Mistake.

The New York Fruitmans Guide. speaking of the great mistake so ire quently committed by orange growers in rushing threugh unripe fruit in the hope of catching an early market, says: Tt is the intention of some of the shippers in southern California to put their oranges in eastern markets as early as the 25th Of November By that time Jamaica oranges will be of splendid flavor. The consumer of the. California orange, for eating purposes, will immediately condemn it because, the oranges will be sour. There is no, possible advantage Ill rushing suppiIeS,. in view of the general conditions pre- vailing in the orange market. A rep etitiOn Of last years disastrous slump in prices is bound to follow if this, disastrous policy is pursued. One req son why there were low prices last year when the opposite should have been the case was the forcing of sour Cali fornia oranges into distribution on the 18th or 20th of December. Give. the fruit time to mature on the trees and become fairly sweet before offer ing it to the consumers and much bet ter results will be obtained"

bedding and blankets being also much in evidence One of the features was a case of Du-sock, thirty-six cans, which had been stolen from Ziba Browns warehouse month or so ago, though singularly there was no bicycle visible upon which to repair the tires. Some bicycle tools taken at the same time, were with the liquid. Firearms also there were, one of the shotguns being the property of a Phoenician. One of the coats belonged to Colonel Poston and it's loss was by him made the sub ject of an epic poem.
 The stuff made four loads for Me- Ewen's big truck and for his strong Clydesdale horses.
 WithrOw and his partner had been wearing gunnysacks on their feet so as to leave no tell-tale tracks. His sentence was five years and nine months upon conviction of one of his numerous offenses.
 The case of Tom Simms, convicted of larceny, will come before another jury, whose task will be to decide whether his inclination to steal was born in the blood or whether he is fe- loniously inclined. The plea of klep- tomaniacy deferred sentence in his case.

WHAT MR. H'KINLEY THINKS
About Tariff Legislation at the
 Coming Session.
Impossible to Reconcile the Various Political CreedS that Will Be Rep- resented-WiIl Cal! an Extra Ses- sion Immediately.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Informa- tion from headquarters, from Major Mckinley himself, upon the wishes of the new administration regarding probable tariff legislation has been in demand among politicians and such information is now said to be at hand It comes from congressman who re- gently visited Canton and talked with. Major Mckinley upon the subject According to this gentleman, Major Mckinley entertains the opinion that it will be impossible to obtain any kind of satisfactory tariff legislation at the coming short session of con- gress. He thinks that 1t will be out of the question to hope to reconcile the conflicting views of Republicans, sil- yer senators and Senator Cleveland upon the tariff issue so as to bring out bill that would meet the needs of the country as viewed from the Mckinley standpoint. With this belief, Major Mckinley thinks the only thing teas-- ible will be an extra congress tt be called immediately after March 4. With view to expediting matters, however, it is likely that the present committee on ways and means will commence the ground work of a bill at this session. All of the Republican members of that committee have been reelected and there is no reason to think that the personnel of the Repub- lican side of the committee will be. changed at the extra session By con- ferring with Major Mckinley early in
 
 his views and put in three solid months of preliminary work at this session. It is thought that this is likely to be the programme and if this plan is agreed upon the Republicans would not fret themselves over the at tempts to pass the Dingley bill through the senate.
 It is practically assured that New York will not be represented in Me Kinleys cabinet. The factional strife among the Republicans there will be responsible :, for this. Cornelius N- Bliss does not expect to be the next secretary of the treasury. In a private letter to friend in this city, Bliss refers to the rumors connecting his name with this office aud Says that while he is gratified at the many con- plimentary things that have been said of him, he is not a candidate for the treasury portfolio and dces not be- lleve there is any reason to imagine it will be offered to hm. Senator Cullom Of Illinois is believed to be as- sured Of place in the cabinet. He will probably be secretary of the in terior, although he may te assigned to the portfolio of gtate Senator Cullom is a member cf the committee on foreign relations, and took a prom inent part in shaping the policy of con- gress on Armenian and Cuban affairs last winter.

WHAT HANNA WANTS.
Sherman's Place if the Latter Will
 Become Something Else.

CLEVELAND, Nov. 23.-A close friend of Chairman Hanna today ex- plained under what circumstances MT. Hanna would accept a place in the cabinet.
 "He will," he said "either go into the cabinet, or he will be the next Re publican United States senator from Ohio. Mr. Hanna's course must be de- cided by Senator John Sherman. Both the chairman and Mir Mckinley under stand that and they are waiting to learn what position MT. Sherman will take MT. Mckinley wants MT. Hanna to accept the treasury portfolio, but MT. Hanna has other aspirations. He believes it would be greater honor to be the senator from Ohio. But Mr. Sherman stands in the way of that. MT. Mckinley will offer MT. Sherman the position of secretary of state and if he declines to go into the cabinet then MT Hanna will accept the posi- tion of secretary of the treasury. Should MT. Sherman decide, however, to become one of President McKin- ley's advisers, thus vacating his seat in the senate, Mr. Hanna will become his successor. MT. Mckinley will not decide on his course until he learns exactly what position Senator Sher- man will take"

Enter, WithroW the Wizard
 Burglar, at Yuma.
His Sentence Was Five Years and Nine MonthS-Other Prisoners Re- ceiye the Wages of Sin In the District Court.

Charles Brown, one of the Darktown dandies, met with a sad fate in the district court He was yesterday sen fenced to Yuma for five years and one day, having been convicted of assault with intent to murder. The night of November during a drunken brawl, Brown stabbed a Mexican at McNa- maras saloon, corner of Second and Washington streets.
 Rafael Ruiz pleaded guilty to grand larceny and was sentenced to Yuma for six years.
 w. s. Brown, who had at first plead ed guilty to grand larceny, was al lowed to change his plea to that of robbery, as the amount of the theft was only $1O, and he was sentenced to six years at the Yuma irrigation works.
 A case that attracted great attention was that of Howard Withrow, the "gunnysack man," whose multitudi- nous crimes outrival the records of people who have been distinguished by rogues' gallery photograph
 For long time the people of Phoe- nix and Tempe had been annoyed by the depredations of thieves who came in the dark of the night and left no clues or footmarks behind them. With in three months over hundred petty thefts and more or less important burglaries were reported to the police, who were baff1ed in their efforts to To- cate the mysterious culprits
 One night in June night prowler visited the residence of F. A. Hough at Tempe, and was detected by Miss Deborah Morris, a Normal school graduate who was a guest at the house. She screamed and the fellow ran. Then he went over to Druggist Hudson's, but was again too clumsy and was seen by Mrs. Hudson, and run off.
 The tracks of man with sacking on his feet were found in the roadway in front of Hudson's and led to a place where a vehicle had been entered.
 The wagon tracks were followed to the river, near the Wilson crossing, and across the river, about a mile above the Wilson raalch. Constable Compton and his party came upon a habitation in the sand dunes that was not before known to the constabulary. There was a tent and also a sort of brush shack and Withrow was at home and was captured.
 The camp was peculiar place, heaped up with odds and ends of plunder. There were twenty-five sacks of barley of this years crop and under the barley were found eight sets of harness, entirely new There were two wagons, both light. One had been stripped of it's bed, which had been partially burned and given an other bed and a rough coat of paint All over the place were tools, most ot them having been stolen, as well as the harness from the Tempe Hardware company. Several carpenters also claimed a part of the spoil. There was a big stove, entirely new. There was about a wagonload of new lumber and clothing enough to stock poor house
