At cost of something more than
100000 a Red Cross expedition has
been fitted out in Russia, for the ayow-
ed purpose of ministering to the wound
ed In Abyssinia. The friendly attitude
of Russia toward the Abyssinians, and
the decoration sent by the Czar to King
Menelek after the battle of Adowa,
have caused Italy to look askance at
this expedition, and finally to refuse it
permission to land at Massowah-thc
more so because its numbers and the
presence of military men suggest other
than philanthropic motives. Some of
the nurses were sent back because the
only other route open, that by way Of
Jibutil over n considerable stretch of
desert country, was too difficult for
them; but the rest of the expedition kept
on. There are intimations in the Rus
sian press that 1t will be followed by
an expedition for scientific explora-
ton"

The remark Of Lieut.. Tappan, Of the
navy, in referring to the speed of the
Oregon, that "battleships are built TO
fight, not run away" is only partially
applicable to the conditions of naval
warfare. Of two battleships Of equal
battery and armor, the one with the
greater speed will have many advan-
tages In an enga cement. And If 1t
should happen that one battleship had
to choose between running away and
fighting two or four equal battleships,
an advantage of a knot an hour over
the opposing fleet would make the diff
ference between having battleship
and not having one. In any naval YES
sci speed is an element not to be dis
paraRed.

There is the best of authority for
making the report that Mr.. Cleveland
will under no circumstances or emer-
gencies accept fourth nomination for
the presidency. But he also feels
that if the Republicans should adopt an
unsatisfactory platform and the Dem
ocracy, as is quite likely, should split
Mt Chicago upon the silver issue, then
If the business interests of the United
States should see fit-repudiating either
party-to unite in the nomination OF a
candidate who represented gold mono
metallism and the early cancellation OF
The greenbacks and should name him
rs their candidate, he would feel free to
accept. Holland in Philadelphia Press.

Tennessee Centennial Poem," as a
kind OF Introduction or prologue to the
Tennessee Centennial Exposition to be
held next year. 1t would be interest
Ing to quote whole pages from it, but
the extract following, in which she
sings the praises of Memphis, will af-
ford a good Idea Of the authors style:
Memphis has outgrown her original inten-
tions
Is now a city of magnificent dimensions,
Built on the Mississippi, she has the ad-
vantage
OF both railroad transportation and
steamboat carriage.
Her greatness was thrust upon her by her
location;
Is cotton market of importance to the
nation.
Added to her commercial interests she has
manufactures
And custom house which Is one of her
best structures;
Has schools, newspapers, banks, churches,
all Of the first class,
And talented lawyers have moved there
en- masse.
Among the objects of interest to be
seen at the exposition the public will
humbly hope to be favored with a sight
Of the wonderful machine on which
the gifted author ground out these I'm
perishable lines.

Defective Steel Rails.

1t is stated that quite number Of
railroad managers have evinced in
creasing dissatisfaction at the quality
of steel rails supplied to them by the
steel rail pool. 1t isn't generally known
that one of the great transcontinental
systems in this country is laid almost
entirely, as far as the main track is
concerned, with imported steel rails.
The managers of this railway say 1t is
found to be rather more advantageous
In the long run, and they do not hesi-
tate to say that the mills in this coun-
try are to-day putting out quality of
rail inferior to what they put out some
years ago.

SuATER,S. TROPHY.
The Young Champion Is Now a Pro-
 fessional.

Horace Slater has returned ito Phoe- nix from Albuquerque where he was in attendance at the fair and paG1tici- paIted in the bicycle races.
 The young champion of Arizona re turned home likewise the champion of New Mexico, and brought with him the handsome silver cup as trophy. The cup is now on exhibition in the show window of ithe H. A. Diehl Shoe company.
 It is a trophy that is highly prized by the winner. Slater will return the cup in year, as he cannot retain it after that time for the rules are that the cup will have to be won twice by an amateur. AS Slater is no longer an amateur he cannot again compete for the prize.
 In addition to the championship cup Slater also won several other prizes. He won the first prize in the three quarter mile class A race, He en- tered the half mile professional which he won. He then ceased to be an anna teur and became a professional
 He also won the two mile handicap professional, and carried away second prize in the mile open. He came out winner in the five mile race. In addi- tion to the cup he won prizes to the amount of $119,
 The best time made on the Erack was made by Slater, which was 2:30 in the championship mile race. Slater says the track was not in the best condi- tion and that he was hardly given g fair show, as discrimination was showr in favor of the Albuquerque boys. He won all his races on an 1896 Columbis model loaned him by Harry Diehl agent for l1he wheel in Phoenix.
 Slater says he will go into training next summer and will either go bacF east or to California to race with pro fessionals.

He declares that the people of Phoenix have been both kind and liberal and have greatly aided him. He works under a National charter and the homes he has established in various cities are all incorporated.
 Monday afternoon a meeting was held in the M.

LOCAL BREViTIES.

According to a celebrated anatomist there are upwards of 5,000,0OO little glands in the human stomach These glands pour out the digestive juices which dissolve or digest the food. h. digestion is want of juice, weakness of glands, need of help to restore the health of these organs. The best and most natural help is that given by Sha- ker's Digestive Cordial. Natural be- cause it supplies the materials needed by the glands to prepare the digestive juices. Because it strengthens and in vigorafes the glands and stomach un- til they. are able to do their work alone. Shaker Digestive Cordial cures indi- gestion certainly and permanently. It does so by natural means, and therein lies the secret of its wonderful and un- varied success.

Every lady brides herself on the table linen, and no household can be com plete or happy now without the linen sold by Alkire's. Remember that they are the sole agents and you cannot buy these goods elsewhere in Phoenix. All housekeepers should certainly look them over before buying.

JAPANESE IN BUSINESS,
The Little Brown Men Were
but Few in Number Five
Years Ago.
Some Interesting Figures From the
License Office Which Show
Remarkable Increase.

Not only are the little brown men from
the land of the Mikado making inroads in
various lines of trade by. manufacturing
articles in their own country for shipment
abroad, to the detriment of the manufac-
turers and white laboring people, but they
are gradually insinuatIng themselves into
business to the great detriment of the
merchants In the same line of merohand-
Using.
This is particularly noticeable in this
City, and there are those who. watching
the Japanese, have discovered that they
have in the past five years been slowly but
gradually entering in competition with
the white merchants of San Francisco, and
little by little offering the same class of
goods, and in that way securing certain
classes of trade that at one time were good
patronage of white merchants.
If they go on increasing in the various
lines of business in the same ratio that
they have been doing in five years past
they will become problem that will in
time not only occupy the time of the
Chamber of Commerce and the Board of
Trade but become one OF serious considera-
tion by the mercantile community.
The records of the L1cence Office of this
City show that licenses were issued 20 but
few Japanese in 1891, and the same records
show the number of these people who OBJ
tanned licenses at the close of 1895:

ASSAULT TO MURDER.
Charles Ewing, Alias Frenchy' IS
Charged With Nearly Killing
ssPaddy' Clarke.

Charles Ewing. alias "Frenchy," allies
"PistoI Charley" sailor, was booked at
the City Prison yesterday by Policemen L.
Dillon and C. Callahan on the charge OF
assault to murder.
The police believe that Ewing was one
of the two men who slashed paddy
Clarke, the longshoreman, so fearfully on
the night of Saturday, March 2S. Clarke's
right hand and waist were so badly cut
that his arm had to be amputated above
the wrist, and a few days ago 1T was found
necessary to amputate 1t above the elbow;
The police have been unable to lnd
Ewing's companion, but they say theY
know him, and as soon as he appears on
the water front he will be arrested.
Ewing has been in several scrapes before,
but he has always managed to get out OF
them. Two wears ago last Christmas Emil
Klaus, who lived on Beale place, was
struck on the head with hatchet near
his mothers house and died in few days.
Ewing was arrested ON suspicion of being
the murderer, but as there were no eye
witnesses to the deed he was released
from custody. About year ago he was
arrested for cutting the watchman on
Beale-street wharf with a knife, but his
luck was with him again and ne escaped
punishment, as there was no one to corrob-
crate the watchman. The watchman' s
hand was so badly cut that 1t had to be
amputated.
