TWO RAINY SEASONS.
Cause of the Late Precipitation
 Throughout Arizona.

Weather Observer Hammond of San Francisco gives the following explana- tion of the singular phenomena of two rainy seasons year m Arizona The first begins in December and ends lit- tie earlier in April, perhaps, or earlier. Then there is an intervaIe of extreme drouth, lasting until the latter part of July, then the second rainy seasons sets in, lasting until the early part of Sep- tember.
 The winter rainy period is due to the extension southward of the storms that prevail here during the California rainy season. The second period is due to entirely different causes. It be- gins when the snow has disappeared from the mountain tops. Then it is that the plains become intensly heated, and this heat rising up along the moun- tain sides IS drawn higher and higher. The mountains act as chimneys, creat- ing an intense upward draft, and the heat is drawn up to great heights, and ia the higher attitudes is condensed and causes rain, so that Arizona has as much rain in summer as m winter. Sometimes the air currents cause these rains to drift northward, with the re- suit that there is fall of moisture in California, but it is unusual.
 Last winter the rainy period in Arr izona and New Mexico gave less pre- cipItation than usual, and as a coDse- ouence there was very little snow in the mountains, and the period of drouth was far more severe than usual. A gentleman several days age said that near Williams, few days before, he had seen band of over POT deer close to the railroad. Asking the cause of this unusual sight, he was told that they had been driven down in search of water. The early disappearance of the snow from the mountains accounts for the scarcity of water and early cons mencement of the rainy season.
 The Indians were the first to observe that the rains began only after the snow had disappeared, and Lieutenant Glassford was the first to discover the cause. While the snow IS on the moun- tains condensation ofthe warm currents takes place at lower attitudes, but when the snows are gone the air becomes superheated and rains follow.

Miss Teresa Urea, the Santa de Ca: bora," is still performing wonderful cures at Fl Paso. One writer says & conductor of the Mexican Central rail- wag came in to tender his thanks to Miss Urea for having cured him of insomnia to which he had been subject for four months, and which the doctors had de- clared themselves unable to cure. At the same time he offered her as small slgn of gratitude, handful of money, about S23. Notwithstanding his re- peated prayers, she positively refused to accept it. He then offered it to her sisters, who after prolonged conver- sation, only took $3 towards the house. hold expenses, for it must be known that Teresa's household consists of more than twenty persons, all of whom she maintains.

ANOTHER MURDER.
Supposed to Have Been Done
 by White Men.
IGallup Cleaner. l

James Ashcroft. of Ramah, came in on Tuesday evening last, bringing the body of young Mormon whose home is near St. Johns, Arizona, who was foully murdered near Touge, some fifty miles north of here. The young man, Frank Allan, was on his way to Fruit land, Tn the San Juan valley, and late in June passed through Ramah and Wingate with his horses. He did not arrive at his destination and inquiry was made which led to the search by which the fact was developed that mur- der had been committed. It would seem that two white men were guilty of the crime, as they stopped at ranch only a few miles away about the time the murder must have been committed, and the rancher at that point says they were nervous and restless, one watching while the other slept. Il certainly was not done by Indians, as the only things taken were his money and canteen.
 When Mir. Ashcroft took the trail it would have been hopeless task to dis cover the body but for the outfit, which was found intact. We hope an effort will be made to bring the scounGrels to justice. The body was cared for and shipped to his family Tn Arizona.

Coercion. deception and cold cash are the potent arguments to be used by the gold standard people in their campaign of education. Wall street and the money kings promise Hanna all the money he needs for the campaign. and skillful speakers, writers and manipu- lators by the thousand are already on the pay roll. The American people have great cause to fear the towering strength of the colossal crusade backed by millious. The tories and English sympathizers. like Morgan, Belmont and Whitney, some of whom parade under the guise of Democrats, are very active, and they have stopped to low dephths. The issue is squarely drawn, and no friend of silver, no champion of the rights of mankind, should be influ- enced by cash, coercion, or sophistry. -GaZette

RlsMARcNs DISCLOSURE.
II Has Raised n Suspicion That Bad Faith
was shown to Austria.


LoNDoN, Nov Nothing could more
forcibly illustrate the anxiety and even
the frightened state the nations of EUROPE
are In than the prodigous fuss which was
made last week and is still making oven
BiTuarcks disclosure that from 1884 ia
1890 he was dealing with Russia behind
the hnck Of his partners i'm the triple al.
lance.
The Berlin correspondent of The Daily
News reports that he has learned that the
German treaty with Russia was in no wise
rs harmless as is alleged, but Wa disloyal
to Austria. "Prince Bismarcllfwas eager
to come to terms with Russia" says this
correspondent. "At Skicrniewice (where
the czarond Emperor William metz and
later, in interviews with NJ DeGiers, he
gave too warm an expression of his desire.
The Russian diplomat noticed this and
raised his price, the result being the agree.
ment, which, it seems, contained clauses
which, oven now, are unknown, but which
proved bad faith to Austria"
VIENNA, Nov. 2.-The Neue Circle
Presse, which pub lished an interview last
week from a correspondent at Hamburg,
which was supposed to have emanated
from Prince Bismarck, says that it learns
from well informed source that Bismarck
may be impelled in making his disclosures
by fear that Germany will repeat the
mistake of 1890 by the eventual abandon.
ment of the support of Russia for an en-.
tente with Great Britain, which would be
more dangerous, as 1t would doubtless
lead France to obtaining what she has
hitherto been unable to obtain, namely,
an alliance with Russia, of which the en-
forcement against Germany would only
be a question of time and circumstance.
Another motive of Prince Bismarck,
The Neue Freie Presse thinks, was to
show France how little their relations
with Russia will do themselves and how
much they We're due to Germany's mis-.
takes in the treatment of Russia after the
dismissal of Prince Bismarck from the
chancellorship. That the latter is ac.
tuated by hatred of Won Gaprivi this
journal thinks is an untenable supposi.
tion, us Prince Bismarck has not tregarded
Won CapriN as the moral I" thor Of the
rupture between Prince Bismarck and the
present emperor.
