THE SENATE REPUBLICAN.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-The next senate, it is believed, will stand, Re- publicans, A; Democrats, B; Populiss S and independents, 13, This table takes all the states of the doubtful column, placing Kentucky and North Carolina in the Republican column, as Senator Butler said today, a free silver Repub- lican probably would be returned by the fusionists. Delaware is placed in the Democratic column and Kansas and South Dakota in the independent and Populist column. This will pre- vent the Republicans from taking con- trol of the senate unless some of those who bolted the Republican platform at St. Louis should return It is difficult to estimate the exact standing of the next senate on the money question owing to the new alignment of parties in the recent campaign.

BEGUN TO ADJUST ITSELF.
A State of Security in Business Circles
 Felt.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-R. G. Dun 6 Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade tomor- row will say:
 "A great revolution has been effected this week in conditions that control business. It could not be in any fair degree reflected as yet in transactions or in records, but there is ample evil denoe already that a crushing weight has fbeen lifted anu rolled away and the business world has begun to ad-, just itself to a state of freedom and security which it has not known for years. A growing disposition appears among farmers to hold their wheat for better prices than is now realized, al- though at present any advance checks buying for export. Speculation in cot ton was also excited on the theory that mills would now start up, as many have done, and would meet a large de mand for goods. But the advance was met by realizing sales and a slight re- action followed. It will be all the bet ter for business if bright hopes do not hoist prices too fast"

ARE THEY LIABLE?
Important Legal Question Submitted to
 the Court.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Nov. GA suit of more than usual interest to bankers has been submitted in the United States court It is that of Rob- ert T. Gibbons, receiver of the City National bank of Greenville, against Henry N. Anderson and John Foster, directors. Leroy Moore was president of the bank. When it failed in J1ne 1893, he was found to be a debtor to the amount of s175,0O0, or for three and one-half times the total capital of the bank. In October, 1892, his in- debtedness, direct and as indorser, was $121 ,000, and the comptroller of the treasury ordered a curtailment. The bank was managed entirely by Moore, and the directors continued to let him have his way, and he increased his liability by $54,000 before the failure. The suit is to determine whether the directors can be held financially re- sponsible for the neglect of duty for permitting Moore to continue his loan ing.

TUCSON, Nov. 6.-It was reported that the notorious Separ gang intended to visit Bowie Wednesday night. In anticipation of the event marshaPs posse was sent out from this city. Ar irving at Bowie, the men composing the party were on ehe alert for the first sign of visit from the gang. Some time in the night an engineer fired a pistol in honor of McKinley's election, and the entire posse was on hand in an unconceivably short space of time, ready to do battle With the robbers. That they had miseonstrued the pistol shot was soon apparent. The robbers had evidently been appraised of the fact that warm reception await ed them in Bowie, and they failed to materialize. The posse returned to Tucson yesterday morning.

WALNUT DAM TO BE REBUILT
Machinery for It's Reconstruc-
 ton is Purchased.
A Large Pores of Mer . essin Work AS Soon as the H1tI1t0rIaI T., ArriveS-Good News for HaSsay-7 amper RancherS.

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Nov. 6.-(SpeciSd) Arizona will be one of the first to feel the prosperity which will follow Republican success in the Nation. Evidences of this fact are already ap- parent
 Col. A. o. Brodie, superintendent of the Walnut Grove Storage company, yesterday sent east an order for ma- chinery to be used in the reconssruc- tion of the immense dam of that com pany on the Hassayampa river, which was destroyed by the flood in the Wal nut Grove district in 1890. As soon as this machinery arrives Col. Brodie will the foundation of the big dam, and work will be continued until it is con- pleted. The old dam was completely destroyed, and the work will have to be all done over again.
 The dam was just completed when the big flood came. It was 210 feet high, and the water stored in its great reservoirs covered several acres of ground. The details of the terrible flood, the lives lost and the vast de- struction of the homes of ranchers along the Hassayampa river are still fresh in the minds of the people. The loss of the dam cast a gloom over the great section of country which was to be benefited, and was a severe blow to many ranchers who had purchased land and established homes available only when a supply of water was obtainable from the Walnut Grove storage reser- voirs.
 The water stored by means of this dam will be used to irrigate thousands of acres of rich land on the mountain ranges It will also be decided impetus to de- velopment work in the vast mining district there Water will be sold te miners for hydraulic work in placer properties, and the company contem- plates placing a large electric plant al the dam to furnish power to the sur. rounding mines.
 The dam was built at cost of $500, 900 by eastern parties. It was i'm properly constructed, and the heavy pressure of the raging flood of water swept it away easily. The new dan will be massive enough to with stand the strongest pressure, and nt danger of a recurrence of the great dis aSter need be feared.

Having done their duty as they saw it, they have nothing to regret. The Re publican candidate has been heralded as the advance agent of prosperity.

 Editor Journa1-Miner) )-In view of the article published in the Prescott Morning Courier to the effect that I am likely to be a candidate for the ap- pointment of governor, I would re- spectfuily state that I am a candidate for no political office, and would not, under any circumstances, accept an appointment. There are many Repub- licans in the territory who are entitled to consideration politically, and at the same time, much better qualified than am. It is to be hoped, however, when a change takes place that it will not be until after full and careful consid- eration is given to the claims of each and every candidate; that Arizonas interests will he placed ehnve the wishes of ambitious men, and that her next governor will be Republican in every sense of the word and one who was not afraid to stand squarely upon the St. Louis platform Yours very truly.
