ArizOna Republicans.

PhGnix. Aroma April aS-The Ari-
iona territorial republican convention
meets in Phniix tomorrow One hun
dred and tweife delegates are provided
for in the call d the central committee,
and of these sixty three seats are con-
tested, adverse delegations being sent
from the three.Frincipal counties, Mari
copa, Pima and Yavapai. This evening
the two factions IRE caucusing, and there
is little doubt that another convention
will be at once iormed after the report
of the committee on credentials.
Tonight, the Mckinley faction has
apparently the cal on organization, and
there is little doub that the regular con
vention will endorse the Ohioan.
The opposition IS for Allison or the
field.
A strong movement was started today
for non.committIl money plank, in
the fear that strong silver plank might
jeopardize statehood This is fercely
opposed, however, BY the delegates from
all the mining regions, and the platform
will endorse silver coinage at the 10 to l
ratio, and will probably instruct dele.
gates to ST. Louis 10 labor for the ad
Vancement of the cause of the white
metal.

SEVEN WENT OUT Ar ONCE.
Reform school Inmates Make Des.
perate and Successful Play.

perate and Successful Play
Ogden, April 27.-Seven boys made a
desperate and successful attempt to es-
cape from the Reform school last night.
They succeeded in getting out by at
lacking Guard Willard Thomas, over
Powering him and leaving the building
The affair happened about 3 o'clock,
just after the boys had been brought
back from supper. 1t is the custom to
give one officer a holiday every third
Sunday, and, as usual, there were hut
two guards with the boys. The guards
were Willard Thomas and Thomas NV.
ers. They took the boys through the
tunnel connecting the main building
with the one where the diniHg room and
kitchen are located. After supper, they
were brought back to the play room.
There were twenty-five of the boys in
their custody. Myers left Thomas with
them while he went back to his supper,
this being the regular custom of the
school.
Hardly was Myers out of sight, when
seven of the boys attacked Thomas saw
agely, beating him with their fists and
striking him to the floor. The first to
strike him was William Walquist of Salt
Lake, but the others were not slow in
following. Thomas was stunned and
almost entirely overpowered, but he
struggled and managed to blow his
whistle, summoning the other guard
and Superintendent Allison to the scene.
Meanwhile, six of the boys ran out.
Their names are: Cecil Cooper, Joseph
Sloan, William Walquist, John Peterson,
Thomas James and Henry Willshepki.
The seventh boy, William Russo !, a
colored lad sent here from Salt Lake,
had clinched with the fallen guard and
they were engaged in a rough-and -tum-
bic fight on the floor. AS the guard was
dazed, the darkey had the better of it,
Thomas kept shouting to Superintend-
ent Allison that all the boys were gone,
but none except the seven made any at
tempt to escape. At the approach OF
help Russell left the half-stunned guard
and rushed out. The guards followed
ant caught Cooper and Sloan In a short
time.
Officers were notified and the police
force was soon in pursuit.
Sheriff Wright, who returned from
California Sunday mornir G, is also out
with his deputies. One officer of the
Reform school has gone east and an.
other west, while telegraph and tele.
phone messages have gone in all direc.
tions, and dozens of letters have already
been written by the superintendent to
catch them If other methods fail
Late Sunday night the police captured
William Walquist. He had swan the
Weber river and was thoroughly drench.
ed. He gave his name as William Flu
gate. He was sent here from Salt Lake
on complaint of his father. Russell il
also from Salt Lake, Peterson is ar
Ogden boy sent to the school together
with his brother about six weeks ago
having been convicted of larceny.

II reports are true, II seems that Mr.

said he had sold some tobacco. Tn,
amount owed the hotel ruan was about
$3.50. II turned out that the draft was
worthless. as the man did not accep,

POSTPONED CUBAN MATTERS.

Congress Yesterday Laid Over All
Action Until After the Holidays.
A message was received over i. n
cnthbert & Cos, special leased wire
late Yesterday afternoon. to the effect
that congress bad postponed all Cuban
matters until after the holidays
Itfs the impression of some that con.
gress Will let action relating 10 Cuban
affairs gradually die out. As they have
gone as far as they have in Offering reso-
lntions in favor Of recognizing the in.
dependence of Cuba, they would de.
serve the condemnation of the people Of
the United States should they decide TO
let the matter drop.
In the meantime companies of men
are being formed In many parts of the
country for the purpose ii assisting the
Cubans in the war with Spain They
are willing to assist the brave people Of
this island in their fight for freedom.
Once this country Of ours was engaged
In brave struggle for independence
and to try to extricate their necks from
the British yoke Of oppression. In that
crisis, had it not been for Lafayette,
that brave French patriot, our country
today would probably be under English
rule, instead Of the present government.
How much nearer our own borders then
is Cuba than the United States was to
France, and how much more closely
related In every way. Here we have a
country almost in earshot of our own
country, thar needs help, and badly too.
II congress fails to do anything toward
recognizing Cuba, the people should, as
far as practicable, take the matter in the |
hand and let as many as can 60 to the |
assistance OF the people of Cuba against
the treacherous Spaniards. |
The people have been waiting pa
tiently for several days to see if congress
would AXE any final measures for the
relief Of the eubans, and it was earn
estls hoped BY many that these matters
would be settled without delay.
