The Revival of Business,
II Begins the Day after McKinley's Election and
is Felt all Over the Country.

-Durlng the campaign we read from time tn
time of orders received by manufacturers. to
be filled only in the event of McKiulev's
election. The opposition, no doubt, set these
reports down as inventions of the enemy
and it is doubtful if they obtained general
credence. But the ''proof of the pudding ia
IN the eating and the starting up of mills
all over the country, of which we are ap-
prlsed daily through the newspapers, shows
that no adequate idea had been given of the
enormous amount of business held in sus-
pense to await the verdict of the American
people. We undertook to make a compila-
ton OF the reopening of mills and factories
all over the country, and of the increased
employment given, but soon found our time
and space unequal to the task, and must be
content with CONGRATULATIONS. Here, for ex-
ample, is a paragraph from a signed editorial
by Charles III. Taylor in the Boston Globe. a
Democratic paper which did not take the
sound-money side in the contest:
While men have differed on the money
question and the tariff, those in every sta
tlon in life can welcome most heartily the
prosperity which seems certain to follow
this election. Usually after panics and dull
times we have to wait for few and feeble
signs OF returning prosperity. Never in our
HISTORY has there been a time when a single
day drew the line clearly and emphatically
between dull times and good times. Yes
terday marked that day in these United
States. Thousands of orders for merchan-
disc OF every kind had been placed with the
provlso that the goods should not be deliv-
cred unless Mckinley was elected. Millions
Of other orders were held back to await that
event. Thousands OF buildings were to be
erected all over the land as soon as McKin-
leys election was assured. This means that
business will begin at once. Thousands, if
not millions, of men who are out of employ
ment will get work. Labor will be general
ly employed and we'll paid, and when this
state OF things is seen we always have gen
eral prosperity.
At $40 p. M. Nov. 9TH Major Mckinley
touched button at Canton, Ohio, and the
factory wheels at Tonawanda, n. Y, start
ed Word came that 5000 spectators enthu-
siastically applauded the start. After Major
Mckinley touched the button the same wire
brought back the following message:
"Hon. William McKinley-The new Mag
ara furnace has been started by yourself and
by the principles you represent, upon what
We hope is career of usefulness in this
community AS this act is typical of wide
spread starting of the wheels of industry,
the Tonawanda Iron and Steel Co. and its
employees and assembled guests unite in con-
gratulations upon your election and in eX-
pressing the hope and belief that your ad-
mlnlstration will bring peace, plenty and
prosperity to the whole nation"

more, said Nov 9th that 100000 was
ready for Investment in this State in the
event of Mckinley $ election. "While L

worth of bicycles from Boston firm, but in
the event of Bryan's election the order was
to be cancelled. As Mckinley is elected the
order stands good and the large industry
will be soon again in active operation. The
works employ at times nearly 1000 men.
United States Ambassador Bayard said
Nov. 4th, as cabled from London:
1.-The result of the election in America
verities my opinion of the honesty and up
rightness of the American people. [ believe
that they will always vote against repuda-
tion in any form when the issue is placed
plainly before them.
"W neither the incoming congress and ad-
minlstration will comprehend that this is no
mere party victory we must wait and see l
hope and trust that there will be moditica-
ton of the fiscal and commercial policies of
such men as Bryan and Sewall and their
PRONUNCIATION of issues so destructive to the
honor and prosperity of the United States.
This is what the people meant to resent.
The effect has been excellent here. Such
an exhibition of the faith and honesty of the
American people cannot but have bene-
ticial effect in restoring confidence in the in
stitutons and securities of the United
States.'

ADMISSION OP ARIZONA. 4 Favorable Report to
 the Senate. Agreed Upon in the Commit tee on Territories. There Is Little Doubt But That the Measure Will Pass the
 Senate.

WASHINGTON; March 20.-Today in the committee on territories of the senate a favorable report was ordered on the bill to admit Arizona to state hood. This action was taken with but two dissenting votes and will be re- ported to the senate tomorrow moru- ing.
 There seems little doubt that the bill will pass the senate, as silver men, angered by the allusion in the house to western pocket boroughs as aiding the silver cause, have become unit on the admission of the territories and they have votes enough to carry the measure, irrespective of party affili- ations.
 What the house will do with the bill is a matter of speculation. It is gen erally believed that both New Mexico and Arizona will have a very faint show for success in the lower body.

CHASED BY A SPANIARD.
A Lively Steamship Race in the At
 lantic Off Cape May.

BOSTON, March 20-The British steamer Ethelred, Captain Hopkins, which arrived from Jamaica today, reports she was chased for an hour and half by a Spanish cruiser while on the voyage from this port to Ja- maica.
 The chase began when the EtheIred was eight miles off Cape May. The Spanish vessel hoisted her flag; the Ethelred did likewise and continuing on her voyage, paid no further atten- ton to the warship. The latter start ed in hot pursuit and continued the chase for ninety minutes, when she gave it up, as the Ethelred had been constantly drawing away from her. No shots were fired from the warship.
 The Ethelred is noted through hay ing been fired upon last summer by a Spanish cruiser.

Figuring Up the Expense of the Nile
 Expedition.

LONDON, March 20.-The house of commons was occupied an hour today with various questions put to the gov ernment by John Morley, Sir William Harcourt and John Dillon regarding the expenses of a Nile expedition and the understanding with Italy regard ing the steps taken. Morley pointed out the unfortunate nature of the ex- petition decided upon by the govern ment, saying it was not only an abro- gation of the pledge of Great Britain that she should not assume protec- torate over Egypt, but was likely to withdraw from that country some ot the benefits and blessings of a British administration of it's affairs.

THE CUBAN QUESTION.
Expresses the Attention of the Senate
 for Another Day.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-A de- sire to advance the Cuban question in the senate was shown today by the abandonment of the usual routine of business, suspension of the reading of the journal and the immediate taking up of the Cuban resolutions.
 Having secured the right of way Senator Sherman yielded temporarily to Senator Allen of Nebraska to state his views on the claim of Senator Du- pont.
 Senator German moved that when the senate adjourn today it be to meet next Monday.
 Senator Sherman, in charge of the Cuban resolutions, objected on the ground that the senate should, in his opinion, sit tomorrow unless the Cuban resolutions could be disposed of today or a suitable time fixed for taking a vote next week. Senator Hale agreed with German and urged for more time for discussion of tha Cuban question. After some discus sion Senator Germans motion pre- vailed.

Projected by the Rio
 Verde Company.
To Tap Agricultural Lands
 Near Phoenix.
The Incorporation Papers Make Reference to Eight Hundred
 Miles of Line.

Yesterday in the office of the county recorder were filed articles of incor- poration of the Saluda Southern rail- way the incorporators being P. P. Parker, Frank L. Donkey, s. c. Sy- monds, J. A. Walton, Chas. Nissen and J. K. Doolittle. The capital stock is set at $19, 755. 900, divided into 197, $50 shares
 The object of the company as set forth in. the formal paper, is to build a matter of SIS miles of railway, tap ping practically all parts of the terri tory. One of the lines is ito run from
 Yuma to Flagstaff, a distance of 335 miles. Then, from a point in section
 30, township 4 north, range 8 east,
 eighteen miles north of Phoenix, will
 radiate branches to Parker, on the another to Nogales, 193 miles, and
 others to Glendale, Phoenix, and
 Tempe. The main line is to follow the
 valley of the Gila, first striking the
 lands of the company south of the White Tank mountains, above Buck eye, and thence through the Verde irrigated section into the Verde valley and north to an outlet upon the Mogol- lon plateau through Beaver Creek can- yOn.
 At the office of the company one of the officials stated to a Republican re- porter that the railroad system out lined was simply initiatory to the great work of the development of the several hundred thousand acres of farming land to be irrigated by the
 great canal that will water the plain to the north of Phoenix. "Of course" said he, 'fthe road from Sa.uda, which is the name selected for the main town
 of our district, to Phoenix will be the
 first. as we must have railway facili-
 ties for the people who will come to oc- cupy the newly opened stretch of | farming land. Then wiM necessarily come the facilities for transporting to them the commodities they require. and for taking away the products they | will raise. The eXpanse is of such magnitude that even an elaborate belt system of railway will be necessary to cover it. The roads built will be of standard gauge, built after the most approved methods, and while at first they may be operated by steam, we WiH have at several points on the canal ample water power to develop all the electricity that may be needed for | their operation. Langdon, Linton & 1 Co.,, who are our contractors on the canal, are much interested in this 1 move and it was blocked out with ] them when they were here a couple Of
 months ago. The money for the canal
 is all assured, and there will be no trouble in getting all the funds re- 1 quired to reach all the farming lands | by rail.
 Speaking for myself and upon my
 own knowledge in the premises" con tinued the speaker, T have no hesita-
 Ijon in saying that the water will not
 have been turned .n at the head of tihe
 R.o Verde canal six months till the
 belt line of roads from Saluda to Phoe-
 nix and tapping all portions of the
 Salt River valley will have been in | operation.'

10 THE SUPREME G0UR9 New Move on the WOlf-
 ley Canal. The Original Owners Join in
 the Litigation.
An Understanding Supposed to Have Been Reached Between
 Local Interested Parties.

Next Monday was to have been the day of the final sale of the Gila Bend canal, on the Gila fifty miles below Phoenix anw with the sale, accord ing to the decision of Chief Justice Baker, would go no right of redemp- tion by any of the persons concerned. Once before the canal was sold, then to Crowley, Toohey, Deity and Dough erty, the contractors, but they failed to produce the cash necessary to the pay ment of the receivers certificates, which had precedence over their own claims for work done, and so a read vertisement and resale were ordered. The rights of third party in the case, the original company, the Gila Bend Reservoir and Irrigation company, had been declared entirely void and with the sale would have vanished the claims and interest of such original company.
 Yesterday, however, in the eleventh hour, there came a change over the spirit of the litigation. On applica- tion of the representatives of the Gila Bend Reservoir and Irrigation com pduy was SFdulSu ny UuuS6 OW6n T. Rouse of Tucson a writ of supersedeas, staying the sale and allowing of an ap- peal ito the supreme court of the United States. An appeal bond in the sum of $S0,000 was promptly filed and the case has been thus removed from the territorial courts. If the supreme court is as prompt in it's hearings as usual a delay of at least five years might be expected, during which time the canal and its franchises would sui fer, and an expanse of several hundred thousand acres of the fairest of land be allowed ito remain portion of the desert primeval.
 It is understood, however, that an agreement has been reached between the members of the Gila Bend com pany and the contractors and lien holders by which, if the property can be bonded, the lien will be paid off and the property placed in working order. If this can be done, the matter may be lifted out of the litigation that has for years stayed the progress of the great enterprise, and one of the
