EXCURSIONS TO THE GRAND
 CANYON.

On July 16 and every alternate Thursday to and including September 10, 1896, the s. F., P. & P. railway will place on sale round trip tickets from Phoenix to Flagstaff at one fare for the round trip. The limit will be for thirty days, enabling parties to take advantage of long trips to the Grand canyon of the Colorado river. First class stage accommodations, includ- ing meals and guides, can be secured at Flagstaff. This will afford an oppor- tunity to people of Arizona to visit one of the grandest wonders of the world. It is claimed that people from other states and territories take more interest in this trip than our own resi- dents. Arizona people should know more of their own territory. Here is their chance and at less expense than ever before. For particulars call on or write B. W. Gillett, general agent, Phoenix.

The Interchange of Gold for Silver Stopped

BY Special Wire to the SUNDAY LIGHT.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug, 10
The treasury department has re-
ceived no information about the
alleged refusal OF the assistant
treasurer at.San Francisco to ex.
change gold for silver certificates.
This is a practice that has been fol-
lowed for years and is peculiar
alone at the San Fran
cisco sub-treasury. On the
Pacific coast nearly all the
money in circulation ia gold an d
silver coin. But little paper money
is used. For the convenience of
bankers and others who desired to
make shipments of money to the
east a practice has grown up at
San Francisco of exchanging silver
certificates for gold. 1t cost less
to ship $1,000 in paper to New
York than $1,000 coin. In this
Woy tho Vi tlO y
made all forms of money inter-
changeable over its counter. AS a
result the sub-treasury gained
from 100000 to 100000 in
gold annually for the past few
years, while all the other sub.
treasures in the east were losing
gold. Recently it's stock Of gold
has been raided evidently for
boarding purposes as San Francis
CO is one of the two points where
greenbacks are redeemable-New
York being the other-and for that
reason 1t is presumed that the
practice has been discontinued Of
making all moneys interchange.

and not q treasury regulation.

need of their being informed Of it.

"Comanche Indians" yet there was
no personal violence.
There is a negro paper published in
this city which takes advantage of the
great liberality of our community and
makes free use of the names of white
citizens in an obnoxious way.
Now, let us understand this thing
no white man, with any self respect,
will have a personal quarrel or con-
troversy with negro. White men
will not have any political controver-
sy or difficulty with negroes in con-
vention or otherwise.
The white men who use the negro
to advance their political schemes are
to blame for all this trouble. Let the
negro alone. let him make his own
political affiliation without the inter-
vention of white men; he will learn
either to be an American citizen or
sink out of sight. Throw him on his
own manhood. Let the Terrells, Og,
dens and others step out into the
ranks of the white men where they
belong.

THE GRAIN MARKET.


Crop Advices Little More Favor
able
hanson Bros. & Co.'S grain letter
by private wire to the Alamo Broker
age Co., 2O3 Alamo Plaza, San Anto-
MO, Texas:
Chicago, Aug. 15.-The past week
has been, one of Generalization for
holders of wheat, prices having de-
clined over three cents per bushel.
The close today showed net loss of
about two cents.
Liquidation by large holders caused
by fears of tight money would make
heavy deliveries the first of Septem-
Der.
Men closely identified with the ele-
vator interests were large sellers, it
being rumored that their sales were
for the purpose of obtaining money to
take care of Diamond Match stock,
when it is rendered them the last of
this month The bear element had
very easy sailing as some Of our pro-
fessiOnals put out good sized lines on
ficulty in buying their wheat back at
handsome profit. The cash situation
has undergone little change. Yester-
day there was a big demand for low
grades at substantial advance, while
the inquiry from interior millers has
increased. This, however, seemed to
have merely checked the decline in
the speculative market, without any
demand of an investment character.
The trade has been largely local, out
siders trading very lightly. The move
ment in the northwest has been quite
liberal, holders stating that they are
unable to obtain money to carry the
wheat. Crop advices have been a
little more favorable, the very warm
weather having dried out the wheat
in shocks.
News from the northwest tends to
an average crop, with the probability
of large receipts as soon as the new
wheat is threshed. There has been a
good demand at Duluth for export.
Clearances for the week were about
the same as last. The New York
bank statement had depressing eff
feet on prices. The feature in coarse
grains has been liquidation and free
selling of the distant months in corn
on the crop prospects. This has caus-
ed quite decline with oats sympa-
thizing. The only strong feature in
the provision trade has been the good
cash demand for nearly the entire
line of hog products with the excep-
ton of pork. This has encouraged
some buying by packers. Fears of
heavy liquidation, however, of Sep
TENDER contracts before the end of
the month has been against prices,
and some of our local traders have
been quite free sellers. The country
holds quite a line of pork, lard and
ribs, which will have to be liquidated
this month, and the market the past
two days has clearly shown the eff
fects of this bug-bear. To-Day the cash
transactions were quite large. There
is a large quantity of lard in tank for
domestic and foreign account.

LITTLE PETE"
MoNGoLIAN ONCE AGAIN
NOTORIOUS.
Loaned an Inspector $50 With Which
to Buy Il Uniform, and the Bor-
rover Acquired a Snug Fortune
in Il Few Months.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 19.-The trial of
Richard S. Williams, an ex-inspector sta
toned at the San Francisco custom house,
who is charged with extorting money and
accepting brides in connection with the
illegal landing of Chinese at this port,
was commenced in the district court this
morning.
The entire session of the court was
taken up with the empanelment of a jury.
The prosecution will attempt to prove
that whereas Williams was obliged to
borrow $50 from Little Pete the motor
ious Monaghan smuggler, with which to
purchase uniform when he entered the
service of the department, he accumulated
a snug fortune within a few months. The
wife of the defendant, whose suit for di-
vorce is now before the courts, has placed
in the hands of the federal authorities
damaging evidence against her husband.
She states that Williams frequently
brought home large sums Of money in
excess of his salary and that he admitted
having obtained the same illegally. When
she expressed fear that he would get into
trouble, he assured her that others We're
implicated who were in position to shield
him from harm.
Special Treasury Agent Moore, who has
collected the evidence for the prosecution,
is confident of securing a. conviction, while
Port Collector Wise expresses the belief
that it will be an easy matter to pune
ture the entire scandal.
