Arizona Gazette

Whereas 1t pleased the Divinity or otherwise to elect one, N, Oakes Murphy to congress from Arizona last fall, and. whereas, said N. Oakes is engaged in raIsing-in Wash ington, thus jeopardizing our inter ests and prosperity, and, whereas said product of Divinity or other wise. has destroyed Arizona s chances for statehood and held us up to public ridicuIe in both houses. And, whereas, there Is danger of Utah stealing a portion of our ter ritory, and, whereas. we consider the presence of said N. Oakes in Washington menace to our terri torial existence, now, therefore, be 1t resolved by the people of Arizo- na that said Murphy be requested to pack his satchel and flee from that abode of sin to his home in Arizona. And, be it further re- solved, that should said Murphy refuse to obey the commands of his constituents, and come home, that the governor utilize tho Arizona militia, which are now engaged in Il bloody conflict on the borders of Texas and New Mexico, to escort said N. Oakes to this abused terri tory, and there let him rustic for fodder or become member of the Phoenix chamber of commerce. Dated Phoenix, Arizona, this 18th day of February, A. D. 1896,

Newspapers Enterprise.

The Times Mirror Company of Los Angeles, California, publishers of the Daily and Sunday Times, on the 9th inst, inaugurated the Times Flyer" a special traiH for the delivery of thir great Sunday edition. By this means they are enabled to get their paper to sub- scrlbers in San Bernardino anu Riverside, as early as to the resi- dents of Los Angeles. This is newspaper enterprise with ven- geance, as the cost of the special must be something immense. Think of getting a daily .paper flom Al. buquerque at Holbrook for instance at o'clock on the morning of it's publication and you will thus have a pretty accurate idea of the mug nitude ofthe "Times" innovation. The Daily Times of Los Angeles is one of the best newspapers on tho coast, and reaches tine readers in Arizona about 24 hours earlier than the Frisco papers.

Colonel and Deputy Paymaster-general:
George G. Rosgruge, Of Arizona, TO be
Surveyor-general OF Arizona.
Mr.. Mulligan has been United States con-
sui general at Apia, Samoa. for the past
eighteen months. and as ne is simply trans
fsrred from one post in the consular service
to another he Is not under the necessity Of
passing an examination. At present he Is in
this country on leave of absence from his
post and he was in Washington and saw
the President and Secretary of State about
a week ago, when 1t is presumed the ar
engagements for lis appointment to Cape
Town were made. Almost from the date of
his assumption of office. Mr.. Mulligan took
the view that the United States was not
warranted in remaining a party TO the joint
administration of the affairs of Samoa and
this view was accepted thoroughly by Pres
Gresham, VINO made IL the subject of rep
resentation to Congress. The salary of the
post at Cape Town is at present less by a
thousand dollars per annum than the con-
sui general at Apia, but on the 1st OF July,
when the next diplomatic appropriation bill
raised to the same figure. The new post is
one OF great Importance at present and
promises TO be even more so in the inn
mediate future, owing to the development
of the South African gold fields ard the con-
sequent great increase of population in the
Transyaal and neighboring states. AS
Cape Town Is a British colony our represen-
tation there Is necessarily limited to con-
sular officer, but IN this case ne will &C.
cupy position corresponding in measure to
and will actually exercise diplomatic powers
in EMERGENCIES.

TARSNEY'S SEAT IN PERIL
He THINKS HIS CASE SHOULD BE
SENT BACK TO COMMITTEE.
His Argument I'm the House Yesterday
-Ex-Congressman Conn Anxious
to Sell His Newspaper.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26-Surprising re-
suits were obtained at test of shells at
the Indian Head proving grounds yesterday,
and IL these shells shall be confirmed by
further experiments our navy, which al
ready possesses the best armor plate in
the world, will have by far the best armor-
penetrating shells, and both OF American
invention What was done yesterday at the
proving rounds was to fire cast-steel shell
of six-inch caliber entirely through a
seven-inch Harveyized nickel steel plate,
through the heavy oak backing and twelve
feet into the bank OF clay behind. This
performance never has been equaied by
projectiles OF like caliber in the world.
When the Johnson shell slipped so easily
through plate of known high quality the
experts yesterday doubted the evidence be-
fore their own eyes and Immediately took
steps to assure themselves that the result
was not accidental To this end one of the
Wheeler sterling shells, an all-steel armor
piercer Of the best quality and equal to
the best European shell, was selected and
fred at the same velocity at the same plate
1t was smashed on the face of the plate
after slight penetration, just what was
expected from this caliber of shell when
fired at seven-inch plate. Then another
OF the Johnson shells was placed in the
gun and fired ct the plate. The result was
almost precisely the same as with the
first shot. The plate was penetrated with
the greatest ease. and the shot was almost
unscathed.
To-day the tests were continued mainly
with a view to determining the relative
value of shots fired at high and low velocI-
ties. The same plate was used. To-day the
pate fired at at a velocity of 21CO
feet per second, with Johnson shell with
out cap. but the point of the shell pene-
trated only about four inches and then
broke up and bounded to the rear Three
other shots were fired at the slow velocity
or 80 feet per second. One was a Johnson
shell with the cap of soft forged steel or
wrought iron. the second a Wheeler ster-
ling she'll. uncapped, and the third john
son, uncapped. The results showed that
with such slow velocity the shells were in
capable OF penetrating the plate to any
extent.
The net results of the tests YESTERDAY
and to-day may be summed up as follows:
That the steel cap on the Johnson shells
is mainly valuable when the latter are
hired at high .velocities; that the cap ASSISTS
penetration OF the plate to a marked de-
gree, and that solid shot can be manufact-
ured the equal, If not the superior, of
forged steel shells. The naval experts are
much pleased with the test They say that
these cast-steel shells can be made for
much less than the expensive forged-steeI
armor-piercing shells. that they can be
made much more quickly, and that they
appear to be superior in every respect
There was further test, also, at the
proving grounds, of the Iowa's barbette
plate. 1t was attacked by twelve-inch
other Carpenter, and resisted them sue
cessfuEy.

MOTOR CAR RUNS AWAY.

the Injury OF Three Men.

CLEVELAND. o.. Feb. 26.-While heavy
motor filed with passengers was descending
the long. steep hill at the foot of Scranton
avenue this morning the brake failed and the
motorman lost control Of the car. Ut at once

crashed into a heavily-loaded truck. II
plowed through this obstruction and then
struck a coal wagon few hundred feet on
William Marx. driver OF the truck was
hurled thirty feet. while the driver OF the
coal wagon was pitched headlong on the SIDE
or the street. alighting in a snow bank, which
saved him frcm serious injuries Marx re-
ceived many wounds. and is probably inter-
nally injured and may die. The front OF the
car was smashed and the motor box
wrenched from its fastenings. Motorman
Hart did not desert his station, and was
bruised about the head and shoulders The
passengers became panic stri- ken. and would

IN HIS OWN BEHALF.

Speech in the House.

speech IN the House.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 2s.-The Van Horn
Tarsney contested election case from the
Kansas City, Mo-. district. occupied the at
tentfon of the House to-day. The con-
testee. Mr.. Tarsney, spoke in his own be-
half and two Republicans. Messrs. Powers,
Vermont, and Parker, opposed the report of
the majority of the committee to seat the
contestant. The ether speakers were
Messrs. Burton, Kyle and Prince.
The vote on the case will bet taken to-
morrow. Although there 10 considerable de-
lection on the Republican side whth favors
the minority recommendation that the case
shall be recommitted and the testimony re-
opened the indications are that the major
fty report will be adopted The Senate
amendments to the House bill 10 extend
the time in which the government, under
the act or 1891. can bring suits to annul
patents TO lands in railroad and wagon
grants were agreed to- One of the Senate
amendments reduces the extension from five
20 one year.
Mr.. Tarsney in his own behalf MAIN
tanned that the fraud committed in Kansas
Was perpetrated not in his interest or that
or the contestant, but of certain local can
didates on both tickets. He produced a
telegram he had received last night saying
that two OF the judges of election in one
OF the wards yesterday turned States eyi-
sence and had testified that 400 fraudulent
ballots had been prepared by the conspir-
80 SaS1, Due tHey were equally ul-
vided between the contestant and the con-
testee- This showed, he argued, that the
truth was being developed and could be
made available for the benefit of the COM
mittee IL the case were recommitted At
30 D. m. the House adjourned.
Election committee No. 3 to-day unani-
mously decided TO report in favor OF Nc
I.aurin. the sitting member, in the case of
wilson VS.. McLaurin, from the Sixth South
Carolina district, and Latimer. the sitting
member in the case in which Moorman was
the contestant from the Third South Caro-
Ina district. The committee holds the regis
tration laws OF South Carolina to be uncon-
stitutional and that every voter who was
preventet from voting by these laws should
be counted where there was competent evil,
dence to show that he would have voted for
the contestant.
