OVER THE HERRING PlIUD ! Renewing the Triple
 Compact.  Britain'S Projected Advance
 Up the Nile. New British Salvation Army Com manderS Sai to Occupy
 Their Station.

BERLIN, March 21.-The Abys- sinian and Egyptian questions are subjects of a great deal of negotiation on the part of the dreibund. Ger many, in response to Italy's repre- sentation, supports Great Britain, al- though the bitterness manifested by the former towards the latter country is not effaced. German newspapers, however, generally support the Nile expedition.
 It became known today that France, through M. Herbet, French 'ambas- sador here, sounded Germany during the week as to whether an idea of a European conference ito regulate the Egyptian affair would be acceptable, but Marsehal Von Bierstein, minister of foreign affairs, replied that the evacuation of Egypt was considered a British affair and must be settled between the interested parties.
 It is generally believed that Elm peror Williams visit to Italy is con nected with a renewal of the dreibund and a suggested modification thereof and that he may meet Emperor Fran cis Joseph as well as King Humbert before he returns. In addition to an alteration of Italy's position, Germany is desirous of greater liberty to en- able her to place herself in accord with Russia in the far east.

EFREN GONZALES, A SELF-MADE
 MAN.

One of the most prominent Span ish-American citizens of Phoenix is a sample of what plenty of push, en- ergy and hard work will do for a per son who is not afraid to work Mr Gonzales is still young man, but by hard work at his trade, being a skill ful mechanic, has managed to save up a comfortable sum of money, at the same time has been raising a large family to be a comfort to him in his declining years. He is a prominent member of the society of Pioneers of Arizo1ia, an old and honorable mem Der of the A. o. U. w, and has more recently associated himself with the order of the Woodmen of the World. MT. Gonzales recently concluded to enter into a new field and opened a grocery store on the N. B. corner of First and Monroe streets. He has a complete line of staple and fancy gro- ceries now on his shelves and the peo- pie of the city should all encourage him in his new field by liberal pat ronage.

A NEW CATHOLIC CHURCH To Be Built in the Near
 Future. Work in Phoenix of the Fran
 CiSCanS.
Rapid Advance Under their Charge of the interests of the
 Church.

The material prosperity of the Catholic church in this parish has been materially improved since the transfer of the parish to the care of the Franciscan brotherhood. The most decided energy is now to be noted and the latest indication of progress lies in the perfecting of plans for the erection of new church at a cost of at least $20,000.
 It long has been apparent that the present adobe structure on East Mon roe street is in nowise sufficient for the demands of the parish. The char acter of the worshippers, too, has changed, till now the Mexican element is in the minority. So before many months will begin the erection of a structure that in every way will be a credit to the denomination and to the city. The plan is, if the consent of the city may be obtained, to vacate the al ley p.atted to run through the block owned by the church. Then to the rear of the present edifce will be erected of brick what will be the rear part of the new church, which is to be cruciform. The iiransept and sanctuary and vestries will thus first be built. Then, having provided a place for the worship of the congrega- tion, the old church will be torn down and the main body of the structure completed. The church projected wiE be in size 170x65 feet
 Also is projected the erection. at the northwest corner of the block, of commodious brick monastery for the reception of the priests.
 The parish is now in charge of Father Seraphin, assisted by Fathers Joseph and Novatos. and by Lay Brothers Ildefonsa and Robert. To Father Joseph, a na'siva of Spain, is especially intrusted the care of the spanish speaking portion of the con gregalt:on. Brother Idef5nse, though in. priestly orders, is an architect and builder of the highest degree of merit, and it is probable that from his plans and under his supervision will the new cathedral be erected.
 Few have any conception af the ex- tent of the good work n Phoenix of the Catholic church. I. especially manifested in the seminary and free school, in which tnstitutioas are now being instructed several hundred chill dren, and in the hospital c5-d1c;ed by the Sisters of Mercy.

THE FAIR WILL.
Peculiar Legal Standing of the Mil
 Eonaire's Children.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 21.-In spite of the efforts of the children of James G. Fair to avoid contesting their fathers will, a legal fight over the vast estate is imminent. The children withdrew their opposition to the trust will, believing that the trust clause would be declared illegal by the su- preme court, and all that they desired thus attained. The heirs forgot the pencil or Craven" will and the ex- ecutor under this will, Dr. Mare Liv- ingston, secured attorneys and ob- tiained a decision that his will being three days later than the trust will, should be first considered for probate.
 The attorney appointed by the court to protect the interests of the minor heirs, including Herman Oelriehs, Jr., opposed Livingston's petition for a probate and a jury has been sum- moned to pass upon the pencil will.
 The Fair children are now in a pe- culiar predicament At one time they took steps ito support the pencil will, until the superior court decision against the trust clause Now they will join the executors under the trust will in declaring the pencil will a for gery

KIRKLAND'S DEPRECIATION
Increased by the Discovery of Another
 Raised County Warrant.

The board of supervisors was in ses- sion yesterday. The main matter outside of allowing claims of several hundred dollars for road work lay in a report by the clerk of another defal- cation of ex-Clerk E.. B. Kirkland The especial ''irregularity" newly found lay in connection with a warrant is- sued by the board July last to B. w. Tichenor of Tucson, for stenographer's fees in the Tewksbury trial. The war rant was for SS0 and when dug up by Clerk Sheridan from the returns made by Treasurer Murray had been cashed in the sum of $160. The endorsem snt upon the back of the warrant was B. W. Tichenor, by E. E. K" The stub of the same numbered warrant had been made osIt for the correct amount, $S0, and the record upon the books of the board was for ;ha correct sum.
 Another point that has jus: devel- oped is that Kirkland overdrew a mat ter of $50 on a contract he had with the supervisors for copying a portion of the county records The contract was for $500; he drew $150 on account  and thereafter drew the entire $500.
 Clerk Sheridan has finished care ful search of the records and compar- ison of the warrants issued during the time of Kirkland's incumbency and believes that this check raising is the last that will be found. No agreement has thus far been reached as to the source where the county will recover the money.
 As to Kirklands present location, there appears to be but mystery. Some say he has been given money enough by his friends and he has gone to South Africa. All agree that Brent must have been otherwise than sane when he chose to sully the fair fame of his years of public service with acts which like these could be SO easily exposed. Several citizens, interested in the matter, have expressed an i1- tention of reopening the whole case before the next territorial grand jury

 The news was far from pleasant news for either By the legal action taken Friday, MT. Greenhui's s hope of early realization from his investment is delayed, to say the least. As for Receiver McMillan, he is allowed by the court the very princely salary of $500 a month, but pending a settle ment of the legal muddle his actual receipts are to be represented by large, robust ciphers Thus has it continued for over year, and the re- ceiver may be pardoned for a consid- erable degree of irritation in the prem ises.
 Mr. Greenhut and wife have been spending several weeks in California, awaiting the date of the sale. As this has been settled, they leave this morning for their home in Peoria, Illi- nois. Also of the party will be Col. J. M.

DHHOCRACY'S GATHERING Preparing to Organize
 Clubs. The First Meeting of the Cam
 paign.
Joe Aiexander Prss:aes, PurGy Bu.- iarj Directs and Committee
 Is Appotnyed.

The first gun of the county Democ- racy was fired last night.
 It was at the city hall. The door was guarded by Morris Fleishman; within were warm welcoming hands extended by Sheriff Orme and Mayor Rosson, who ke1A close watch each on the other. Bel I'd were J. c. Kel- lum and George Purdy Bullard, each wrapped in a legal air of abstraction that might well befit the dignity of district attorneys.
 The crowd, numbering about sixty, was a nice one, representative fully of the county Democracy. By nomina tion of George Purdy Bullard Che of Wall street fame) Jos. L. D. Alexander 'was chosen chairman. MT. Bullard described MT. Alexander as one who possessed within himself all the at tributes of Democracy-3n who might at one time be very rock of the faith and yet in action be wheelhorse The assemb blaze agreed and then Louis Quinn was chosen secretary.
 MT. Alexander gave MT. Bullard what is colloquially known as a "hunch," and MT. Bullard rose to the occasion. He said the meeting had been called for the purpose of organi- zation of Democracy's clans against the forces of Republicanism and Pop ulism. He admitted that the Democ- racy is in perilous straits; the Repub- Ecans had had a victory in even this, 'tthe banner Democratic county of Ar izona,' and the Populists in the rural districts were attempting to ''filch" from the Democratic party. The Re- publicans, whose party he eloquently stated to be 'fthe offspring of obscur- ity," are already in the field Now must be organized a system of precinct Democratic clubs, swherewith to whack dismay into the opposing ranks. To carry out this sckehie. of western Tammany, Mir Bullard moved a com mittee of twelve on organization.
 Chairman Alexander plunged into deep thought for three minutes and then announced the following named as such committee:
 l.. H. Orme, George Purdy Bullard, H. H. McNe:l, A. J. Godfrey, Robert Doll, B. F. Ke,lner, 4. A. Long, Neri Osborn, T. E. Parish and James Bur son, to them being added the chair man and secretary.
 Then followed an old-time Demo cratic love feast, the speakers before adjournment being Frank Cox, P. P. Parker, T. E Parish, J. w. Crenshaw, H. M. Willis, Will IeBaron, J. M. Bur nett, F. J. Netherton, E. F. Ke,iner and Postmaster Thomas.
 After the meeting the committee convened and organized by the cleo tion of J. L. B. Alexander as perma- nent chairman, George Purdy Bullard, secretary, and B. F. iKellner, treasurer A committee of Bul.ard, Quinn and Parish was appointed to formulate by laws and a plan of campaign, to report at meeting of the committee to be held next Saturday night.

FOR GOOD GOVERNMENT.
Important Meeting Yesterday of the
 Citizens League.

The Citizens league met yesterday afternoon in their new quarters, room 12, Monihon block. The meeting was the largest and most enthusiastic the league has had and number of new members signed the constitution.
 The committee on county affairs re ported that it was impossible to bring in a report of value, or one upon which satisfactory action could be taken, for the reason that an expert was needed The committee was empowered to en- ploy such expert services as they deemed necessary.
 Two special committees were ap- pointed on territorial affairs, one, it is understood, to look back over the do- ings of the territorial officials, the other to keep watch over the present doings of the same.
 An invitation was extended to an outsider to come in and make known his grievance to the league. After hearing him it was decided that the matter pertained to federal business and the league could not interfere. He was given good advice, however, a vot8 of thanks itendered, and the sergeant ajt-arms escorted him to he dcor.
 The committee on county affairs met after the adjournment of the league. The next meeting will be held on Saturday, March 2S.

STILL A MYSTERY.

Chas. Kessler, lately returned from Minnehaha Flat, states rha. little more is now known of the Smith mur- der chan was at first. One point that adds novelty to the thrice-told tale is that near the Smith & Grumm store on the night of the murder was encamped a man who had escaped couple of days before from the Yavapai county jail, in which he was confined awaiting action of the grand jury on . charge of burglary. Sheriff Runner, who was promptly on the scene, pursued the fellow and captured him near Hot Springs, returning with him to Pres colt. The fellow denies any knowl- edge of the crime or any acquaintance with the murdered man. l. is plain that the killing was committed by some bitter enemy of the dead man.

A STRAWBERRY TRUST.
Cornering of the Luscious Fruit in the
 Vicinity of Phoenix.

Yesterday Growers Hill and Ted ford each brought to the city box of fully ripened strawberries, and thus the strawberry season may be consid- cred begun.
 There are the best of prospects for the crop around Phoenix this year and a conservative estimate of the yield se.s the figure at 150,00) pounds. This at least is the amount that will be produced by the growers below noted, whose acreage embraces about all within ten miles of the city:
 Chas. Williams, Frank H. Simmons, w. Heath, Fred Bosse, R. Hill, P. E. Wilson, Floyd Langstron, B. Y. Doug lass, Soley & Holmes, w. M Tedford, James Tedford, Geo. H. Connolly, Thos. K. Stewart, Jas. w. Gray, J. W. Ka.fus, J. M. Acuff, L. D. Smith, c. c. Chambers, Noah F. Parks, William Wheeler, Y. Lamazon & Desmot, c. A. Coon.
 A feature of the strawberry crop that has just been made known to the other dealers of the city is that the crop of the individuals named has been bought for the season by Charlie Donofrio, who is preparing both to supply the city and the whole of Ar izona. He disclaims any idea of rais- ing prices above the usual figures, but ayers that handling the crop in bulk, the work can be done far more effect lively and cheaply than if marketed by a dozen dealers.

Globe Silver Belt: The deal was closed last week by which the New York stockholders of the Kasser Gold Mining company acquired the interests in that property of R. D. Humphrey and c. H.

COLOR LINE IN SCHOOL.
Good Chances for Race War In
oklahoma.

PERRY, Okla. Jan. 13.--Since early
this morning the whole town has been
intensely excited over the public
school question. When the schools
were opened this morning Prof J. w.
Augustine denied admittance to col
ored children in the high school or
other public school buildings, except
those designated months ago for the
exclusive use of colored children The
exception was George Washington AL
exander Webster, a boy ten years old,
in whose name the mandamus proceed
ings were brought three months ago,
and decided in his favor. Prof. Au-
gustine holds that the decree of the
court only applied to this one BOY In
the high school building 500 white chill
dren and about so coIored children,
two-thirds of the total number in
town, assembled. A crowd of white
men and negroes were there White
school boys had large stones in their
pockets, with the intention of using
them on negroes as they entered the
building. Ii is said every negro child
in the city asked for admittance. Of
ficers escorted four colored children
into the high school. Each teacher
made vigorous protest against receiv-
ing them, but the children were made
to sit down. 1t Is rumored that the
entire school. board is to be arrested
for contempt of court. White citizens
threaten to tear down the Jail if ar
rests are made.
