CROCKER'S ARIZONA TRIP,
Investigating the Feasibility of
Changing the Southern
Pacifc's Route.
Trains Likely to Run Through Globe
Goldfield and Phoenix to
CHA Bend.

PHI GNIX, ARIZ., Jan. 7.-Colonel G. F.
Croker, vice president of the Southern
| Pacific Railroad, accompanied by J. T.
Fassett, ex-Deputy Collector of the Port
of New York, will arrive here in his pri-
vate car tomorrow. To those who know
no better, it is given out that Colonel
Croker has come here fer social time,
| and that Mr.. Fassett will be the guest OF
Whitelaw Reid during his stay OF one
week.
With others, however, this statement
carries little weight. for they are certain
that Colonel Croker is here for the pur-
pose of inquiring into the feasibility of
changing the route of the Southern Pacific
and to look over the ground.
This change, as stated in an article in
THE CALL, contemplates the abandonment
of the present line from Bowie station to
ella Bend, distance of go miles, and a
change of route so that Southern Pacific
trains will run through Globe goldfeld,
Florence and Phoenix to ella Bend.
Some time ago Francis Cutting and n.
K. Mastcn did just what Colonel Croker
will now do; that is, they looked over this
proposed route. After weighing the diff
culties and advantages they returned to
San Francisco and reported, it is pre-
sumed, favorably. 1t is to pass final de-
cision upon this matter that Colonel
Croker now visits Phoenix and the other
points most affected by the proposed
change.
While he is here, Colonel Crocker will
also receive the report of Colonel G. H.
Honshell, general superintendent of the
Maricopa, Phoenix and Salt River Valley
Railroad a part of the Southern Pacific
system, under whose direction a good deal
of canvassing, with a view to obtaining
the opinions OF the heaviest shippers of
the towns most effected. has been done.
Tucson, the second largest city in the
Territory, has entered an energetic protest
against its abandonment, and it is to see
whether the other towns most interested
will appreciate to a sufficient extent the
favor the Southern Pacific will confer upon
them, that calls Colonel Crocker hither

Horticultural Commission Members Refuse
to Give Way to New
AppojHtee

SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, Jan. =
Horticultural Commission affairs in this
county are badly mixed, ana lively war
is looked for when it comes to determining
who is Commissioner.
The Board of Supervisors, acting under
the authority of the amendment passed
by the last Legislature, providing for one
man commission, reduced the county
board from three to one, and for that one
put in a new man. The old Commits
soners are to make fight, as they claim
that the Board of Supervisors has no
right to reduce the number of Commits
sioners.
They have retained an attorney, and
will fight the case to finish. Their attor-
ney said to a CALL corres pondent:
TIE board is wrong in this move, as
the one-man commission applies onlv
TO those counties where no commission ex.
listed when the amendment became a law
but there is no provision authorizing the
Supervisors to reduce the mum Der of Com
missioners now existing.
when a man is elected to any position
he is expected to serve not only his term
of office but until his successor is ready to
take up the duties of the oRsce. | will
fight the case IN any form it comes up.
The olo member will recognize Mr..
Pease as the successor of Collins, resigned,
but whether Pease will recognize them as
Commissioners or not is question.

nent. This is, of course, what English
men as people think, it is not what the
politicians say. The Venezuelan affair is
entirely a Government matter. The
universal opinion at first was that Presi-
dent Cleveland's message was sent out for
political purposes. Now we believe that
the British Government was wrong and
drew down President Cleveland's anger
Justly. We accept the justice of Mr..
Cleveland's claim.
Lord Salisbury's action in refusing ar
bitration is regarded as political blunder,
and | may say crime, by many right-think-
ing Englishmen. l believe a great deal of
good will come out of this trouble. 1 think
it will be the cause of the formation of a

tie all such disputes between nations. Let
England and America keep peace for
thirty years longer and they can dominate

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, Jan. T.
There is more than ordinary interest felt

marriage OF General Benjamin Harrison

Mrs. Harrison, has resided here for the
past SIX years, and is one of Port Town
sends most popular citizens.
Judge Scott has always correspondent
with General Harrison since coming here
and appears to enjoy certain degree OF
confidence of the latter, probably owing
to the TACT that he has quite as good a
reputation for being discreet with his
thoughts and speech as has the exPresi-
dent himself When questioned about the
gossip Judge Scott blushed and protested
he knew nothing of it.

questioned him when his attention was

Judge Scott declared that was nothing
unusual, but his manner left strong i'm
preston that even if the marriage should

SEATTLE, WASH, Jan. 7.-CharIes H.
Lugrin of this city has in his possession
the original manuscript of q report made
to the British Government in 1871 by a
Commissioner appointed to define the
boundaries Of Dutch Guiana. The report
makes book OF nearly 400 pages and con-
tains description OF every settlement and
plantation in Dutch Guiana, which is now
claimed by the British, and names all the
original grantees from the Dutch Govern
ment. 1t defines the boundaries of the
territory claimed by the Dutch, French,
Spanish and Portuguese ut that time, in
addition TO a large amount of other ex-
tremely valuable information.
AT the request of Lord Salisbury, Mr..
Lugrin is about to forward the book to the
English Premier for inspection by the
British Government. The report has been
in his possession for number of years,
and as far as he is able to learn, was taken
to Canada from New York by one of the
United Empire Lovalists at the close of the
Revolutionary War.
The report does not bear out the full
claim made by the British Government.
but entirely disposes of the full claim made
by the Venezuelan Government.
The book was compiled for the British
Government with a view of showing the
limits OF the Dutch possessions, and was
compiled adversely to Dutch interests. 1t
deals particularly with the Western bound
airy, and also defines the boundary OF
French Guiana.

A Tacoma Boarding. House Runner
Responsible for the
Trouble.

PORT ANGELES, WASH, Jan. IA
CALL correspondent received information
this morning that there was mutiny among
the sailors on board the British four
masted ship Clifford, and that an effort
was being made by the officers to keep the
news from reaching the shore. The cor
respondent was refused permission to go
aboard, but the gruff English captain, who
was pacing his quarterback, acknowl-
edged that he had twelve men imprisoned
in the forecastle. They had refused to
work yesterday morning. When asked
what he intended to do in the matter the
captain replied that at present the men
were not getting anything to eat and he
was OF the opinion that under such circum
stances they would soon be ready to work
again. No one has been allowed to 60
ashore since the mutiny occurred, and the
captain is praying for good weather, so he
can put TO sea, where further measures
will probably be used to subdue the men.
The trouble arose in Tacoma, where the
crew was shipped for Engla by board
ing-house runner. The runner, accom-
panied by the sailors and the British Con-
sui, boarded the ship and the seamen
signed the articles, supposing that they
would later on be permitted to go ashore
and bring off their clothing. This liberty,
however, was refused, but the runner
agreed to send the sailors effects aboard.
Just before the ship sailed the mems
canvas bags and chests were sent out, but
instead of being filled with clothing they
were found to contain old grain sacks and
rubbish. One man had twelve ragged
vests in his bag, and another's wardrobe
consisted of ladies' undergarments Nat
