THE FABRICATION CONGRESS-

The irrigation congress has met
 held thrse days session and has
 adjourned. Five times now has this
 process been goEe through, and yet
 to even close observer nothing of
 s tangible nature Is visible as hay
 resulted from these meetings. In
 fact, beyond aforiing au opPortu-
 nity for a junksiing trip for . lot of people. and afording an opportunity for some of them to read exhaustive papers on subjects which they prob ably know very little about, Ws can not see any special good that has been accomplished by these various sessions. From the very nature of its organization this must be the case and must continue to be So. The membership is not permanent, but delegates are appointed to at tend each meeting. These dele gates in many instances are often merchants, lawyers, editors and other professional men who know no more about irrigation than the man in the moon. Out of the whole nun uber there are perhaps 8 lew men acquainted with the subject which they are called together to consider. What is necessary is SD composed of men who ars interested directly in the ques- tien of irrigation; men who under stand its practical workings; men who csn formulate plans for the the reclamation of the arid lands of the southwest; men who can act, not theorize.

The victim was Theodore Wagner and the man who did the killing Antonio John son, a young man about 2l or - years old. Wagner Is described as & shiftleSs man, whose wife rus the boarding house al Aubrey for the section men. He had become so worthless, refusing to help his wife, that the railroad men complained to the latter. that unless she got rid of him, she would have to give up the boarding house. Johnson had been assisting her with her work for some time, and Sunday night Mrs. Wagner decided to go 10 Williams to take some sort of legal proceedings against her husband, just the exact nature af them she hardly knew herself. 4 freight train had pulled into the station and was waiting for her. She had put her cloak on, pre- paratOTy to going, when her husband came in and seized 8 big bread knife aud made a slash at her throat. As her cloak was turned up around her neck, 1t shielded her from the at tack. Seeing the danger the woman was in, Johnson seized SIX shooter, and fired three shots. One went wide of its mark and came near hitting the section boss. Another caught Wagner on the thumb, while his hand was holding bis wife by the shoulder, and the other took deadly effect in his stomach. Wag- her finger till : o'clock Monday morning, when he died. His remains were taken to Williams yesterday for lnterment.
 JOnhson was brought to Ash Fork last night for examination, but Il was the general opinion that he would be released today. as the testimony of eye witnesses to the tragedy was all to tho effect that had he not killed Wagner, the Latter would have killed his wife,,

AKITONA,s MANY CLIMArKs.

Speaking of the variety of eli mates possessed by Arizona, the Pheni1 Republican very truthfully says: We would say to the people who come to Arizona for the benefit of their health, that they should not be discouraged if they do not secure relief in the particular place which they have been told to visit. Arizona has many varieties of eli mate. One may leave Phenix on . balmy morning and be in midwinter before nightfaIl.

The Big Bug Killing.
From Tuesdsys Daily.

Jas. Hughes, the Big Bug saloon keeper, who shot a Mexican near his place cn Sunday morning was lodged in jail last evening and as yet no bail has been fixed for him. Ills victim died last evening at five o'clock. It Is alleged that Hughes fired five shots at him only two of which took effect. one through the wrist and one m the abdomen, the latter proving fatal. The story of the killing IS entirely different from the first report. The mans name was Candelaria and he was not a brother of the man formerly killed by Hughes. Candelaria was in debted to Hughes and the two met on trail when Hughes asked Cam delaria when he was going to pay him that bill. The latter replied by asking Hughes to go down to the saloon and he would pay him right away. They started towards the saloon and when near it Can delaria remarked to Hughes. you have gone far enough and at the same time, 1t is alleged, turned on him and attacked him with a file which be carried. Hughes tried to get away from him he says. and but for the Mexican falling he says the latter would have caught hiu.. Be- fore Candelaris could get ou his feet to renew the attack Hughes fired with the result as stated.
 Assistant District Attorney Joseph Morrison and Attorney George Arthur Allen, went out to Big Bug this morning to be present at the inquest which will be held today before Justice Kingsley.

The mining outlook for Yavapai county is very promising.
 It looks as though the Cuban question might involve the United States with war with Spain yet.
 That was an unkind cut on tLe part of the Los Angeles Express to state that six saloons and an irriga- ton congress had opened in Phenix this week.
 A bil has passed congress to per init the purchasers of the Atlantic < Pacific railroad to form new corporation, with the rights, privil eges and obligation of the old one.
 MT. Cleveland talked about trusts just as though his largest legal fees had not come from them, and bis administration had made an effort 10 curtsil their power.
 The supervisors of Maricopa county are seriously considering the proposition of placing the numerous hobos in the county jail a, work on the streets, and will make p-oposi- ton 10 the city council to pave the streets of Pheni1.
 Several American correspondents in Cuba have received notice from the Spanish authorities that they will be deported unless they color their correspondence more favorably to the cause of Spain. Spanish officials are not the only people in the world, either, who would ike 10 muzzle the press.
 General Weyler has denied over his own signature, the report of the manner In which Macso was killed. His denial, un- supported by other proof, will hardly be accepted by the civilized world, as his reputation for truth and yeracity in matters pertaining to the Cuban war, are not the best.
 A Phenix paper says that despite the fact that the city is filled with strangers. no arrests have been made for peace disturbances or other m fractions of the law" It was real nice on the part of those irrigators to behave themselves while in Phe- ni1 and not subject themselves to arrest.

The New York Journal has just planned a bold move to outwit the Spanish censor of Cuban news. W. R. Hearst has chartered the steam yacht, Vamoose, the fastest craft anoat in American waters. The Journal will carry its own dis patches from Havana to Key West. lt will take the Namoose but three hours to make the trip Protected by international law allowing ships of all nations freedom of ports not blocksded, the VamoOse, though she will doubtless be constantly ha- rassed by the Spaniards, cannot be detained.

The Senate has passed what ls known as the Lodge bill, to restrict immigration. by the very decided vote of fifty to ten. As passed, the bill amends the immigration laws 50 as to exclude from admission to the United States all persons over sixteen years Of age, who cannot read and write the language of their native country or some other Ian guage. but an admissible immigrant over sixteen years old may bring with him, or send for hIs wife or parent or grand parent, or minor children or grand children, notwiih- standing inability to read and write. The exclusion provision does not apply to persons arriving from Cuba during the continuance of the present disorders there.
 Prior 10 adjournment the irriga ton congress endorsed a bill pro uding for the government of the United States to loan money for the the construction of dams, reservoirs and ditches for the reclamation of arid lands. No state or territory is permitted to borrow over Sl,000,O0O during any one year. IL IS not probable that the congress of the United States will over pass the blll, with the experience of loAning money to build railroads staring them ID the face but should they ever do So it would afford . soft snap for irrigation schemers.

 The Examiner quotes Governor Franklin. of this territory, as saying that. in case Of war with Spain over the Cuban question, Arizona would not furnish a single volunteer. The governor evidently underestimates the patriotism of Arizona citizens.

Murder on Rich Mountain.

On Saturday ternoon between {
and 6 O'Clock an old mR,l, about sixty
years cf age, was murdered on Rich
Mountain, about three fourths of
mile from the top. While the affair
is shrouded in mystery it ia believed
the murderer will soon be landed in
Jail.
The old man was travelling in the
company of ayonng man when be
started up the mountain, and while
in this town Saturday afternoon, tho
younger mad was recognized as JAS
O'Briant, au escaped convict. and for
whose arrest reward had been of
fered by the State.
These two men left town together
and started for Wytheville. On reach
ing MIR Henderson Hagey's, at the
foot of the mountain, they stopped
and bought some apples, aud while
there the old man made the remark
that he did not ke to tr 81 the
mountain as ha had been robbed ON
the mountain on n previous occasion,
and at the same time asked Mr..
Hagey where he could stop for lhe
night on the other ride Of the noun
tain. aud was told to stop al Mr..
Barger's The other man spoke up
aud said that he would take him Co
jim Thompson's, from which it
would seem that he was not a stran
ger in that neighbolhood That
was the last time he was over seen
alive. The other man was seen pass
MIR. Barger's about six o CLOCK, < oiag
towards Burks Garden.
A short time aftor the men left

the mountain. lie says that as he
was going up the noun tain bis horse

The man had been beat in tho head

O'Briant, who is supposed to have
done the billing, escaped from a
convict camp in Russell county some
weeks since, and has been rocaptured
two or three times. but encb time has

MIR. Meek's horse has beon recov.

doubt that the man who made of

the same berson, and will soon be
captured, as he has some of the most
determined officers in this section on
his track.
