Foraker will make an occult attempt to consummate MT. Hanna's defeat. however, do not believe he will show his hand to any great extent in the matter. Mr. Foraker is rather dog matic in his political affairs and cares to harbor no rival aspirant to ths peoples patronage and esteem"
 What is your opinion of the phv- sical and mental status of Secretary Sherma1?" was asked MT. Roby
 Well, I think there is nothing ex- cept political ibuncombe in the news paper reports and dispatches and edi- toria1 comments. MT. Sherman is nor an old man and I fail to see any not able deterioration in his mental vii tality. He is a man of affairs, and vast experience in matters of national import, and I think there is no abler man for the position he now assumes
 q do not think our governor will embark very extensively in the as phalt business, as the Venezuela par ties have doubled up the price on him. and withal I am of the opinion that Mir Pingree is not in a position to assume very great financial responsi- bilities."

AT WASHINGTON HOTELS.

"The governor of North Carolina thought for few minutes last Thurs day that he had triumphed in a very important case, but his gratu1atory feelings soon received a rude shock, 9 said Mr. M. A. dickson at the Ral- eigh.
 For some months the governor has been trying to oust two of the state railway commissioners, Messrs. J. W. Wilson and Otho Wilson, who are not kinsmen though of the same sur- name. He had appointed L. C.. Cald- well and J. H. Pearson in the place of the Wilson's, who stubbornly re- fused to give up their offices, and the matter was taken to the courts. In the state supreme court, Thursday, an opinion was rendered by four of the justices-the chief justice alone dissenting the effect that Messrs Caldwell land Pearson were entitled in exercise the duties of state railroa commissioners, and that the governor was within his authority in appointing them. In this view Chief Justice Faircloth did not concur, but filed an opinion, which in substance denied the right of the governor ao remove the two Wilson's.
 '3The governor and his appointees were jubilant when they got the news of the decision, and planned to i'm mediately eject the obnoxious Will sons. If necessary they would be thrown out bodily. so writ of exc cution was immediately obtained to put Caldwell and Pearson in the of flee they long had yearned for. Alas human hopes are born but to be blighted. Before this writ could be executed, counsel for the Wilson's got the chief justice, who alone could is- sue it, to grant a writ of error and supercedes, which acts as a stay and carries the case to the United States supreme court. Caldwell and Pear son are out in the cold; the Wilson's hold the fort; the governor is sore and full of wrath, for he knows that twelve long months may elapse ere the tribunal at Washington may de eide whether he has power to remove one set of commissioners and put an n+her in. This is the momentous sub. |, A thai has stirred the good city ot 2 y of late, but can

A Well Known Detroiter Talks o.
 Business and Politics

MT. George W. Roby a prominent Detroit capitalist and boat owner, is at the Adams for the winter. MT. Roby is delighted with Phoenix weath- CT. To a Republican reporter MT. Roby said: There are unmistak- able signs of returning prosperity all over the east. It is coming slow and as 1t ought, and it will doubtless be of a stable and pronounced nature when it disseminates itself through out the west. Why, in Michigan we have brought down from Superior twelve million tons of iron ore in the past year. We can manufacture rails. ship them to England and undersell her on her own ground.
 "As to the status of political af- fairs, I have no hesitation in saying that MT. Hanna will win out in his senatorial fieght in the Ohio legis- lature. MT. Hanna has done a great deal for his party and he deserves rec og1itiOn at it's hands. Doubtless MT.

HUNG JURY IN ANDERSON CASE
The Trial of Wallace Duncan for Fol
 gery Closes This Morning.

The jury in the case of Josiah An derson, charged with cattle stealing, failed to agree and was discharged by Judge Street yesterday morning. It is said that eight members voted for conviction and four for acquittal. This case as we'll as those against John s. Anderson and James Kerrick, will go ;. over, possibly until March, There .>other matters in court demanding atfen lon, and beside the January term Of supreme court is near at hand All the members of the regular panel ex- cept the jurors selected for the trial 0f Wallace Duncan, were finally dis charged.
 The trial of Duncan was begun last night Duncan is a son of John s. Duncan of Indianapolis, one of the foremost, if not the very foremost, lawyer in Indiana The young man is also a grand nephew of General Lew Wallace. He came to Phoenix on November 15 and twelve days later forged the name of Dr. Purman, an old friend of his fathers, upon two checks, one of which was cashed at the Rich elieu and the other at Butts drug store
 He was arrested the next day and indicted for forgery. Hamilton and Armstrong were retained for the de- fense. It was known that the young man had been confined in an insane asylum and it was learned that soon after his confinement he escaped. He was recommitted and again got out. never having been discharged as cured.
 The case against him was so plain that the testimony in support of it was of little interest. In the course of Dr. Purman's testimony it became plain that the defense would rely upon the plea of Insanity. Dr. Purman said that before the commission of the crime he had observed that the youu g man was queer and was reminded that he had heard of his confinement in an asylum. He believed now that he was insane, not to the extent of being un- able to distinguish right from wrong, but to the degree that he was unable to control an impulse to do wrong The impulse, he believed, was directed toward forgery.
 When pressed by the prosecution fer direct reply, the doctor said that if he were compelled to answer he should say that in his opinion the young man was insane.
 Duncan's attorneys introduced a certified copy of the proceedings in his commitment to an Indiana insane asylum. the copy having been obtained from the clerk of the circuit court of Marion county. Judge Kibbey ob jected to the admission of the paper as irregular and the objection after some discussion was sustained.
 The argume nts, which were brief. were opened by Judge Kibbey. He was followed by MT. Armstrong and the argument for the defense was closed by ex-Governor Hamilton. The closing argument will be made this morning.

HONEYMOON IN JAIL.

A Former GOOdIand Girl Has Highly
Interesting Time at Pueblo.
The following dispatch from Pueblo,
will interest those who are acquainted
with the lady in question: A honey
moon passed in jail would not be con-
sideFed by most people a delightful
condition, yet MIR. and Mrs. E. J. Doug
las, of Colorado Springs, are apparently
as happy as can be in the city Jail TO-
night. They eIoped from Colorado
Springs Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Doug
las name was Grace L. ShOwaltar. They
came to Pueblo and at once getting a
marriage license, we're married by
Justice Smith. They had not long
been welded when a telegram came
from the officers at the Springs making
a request on behalf of the girls mother
that Douglas be arrested, she claiming
that her daughter is only II years old.
The couple we're not located until
this evening, when Mr.. Douglas was
promptly arrested and locked up. His
wife, however, insisted in spite of the
instructions to the officers not to lock
her up, that any place in which her
husband was is good enough for her,
and into the cell she went.
Douglas is a fairly progressing
young man, q blacksmith by Occupa-
ton, and says that his wife told him,
aud she SO insists, that she is Is years
old, and he is suffering considerable
inconvenience in being locked up
when he knows Of no ofense that be
has committed. Word is snziously
awaited from Colorado Springs bY
both the officers and young welded
people.

a PEAN TO KANSAS.
Tom MoNeaI Sounds the Praises to the
SunfOWeF State.

Tom moN6al SOUNDS the EfaAboa 20 the /
SunhOWeT State.
In the programme of the twenty-six
annual meeting of the state board Of
agriculture for January Is to 10, just
issued by Secretary CObuFn, Tom Nc
Neal the veteran journalist, pays this
tribute to Kansas: "Whatever you may
think of her political conduct, whether
you wear the ssckcloth of the defeated,
or snort with the exultant voice of the
victor, the unalterable fact remains that
Kansas is the geographical center Of the
world-the inch-pin of the universe.
Even the fact that more people are at
this time engaged either in abusing her
OF defending her, shows that she is
built to attract attention and invite
contention. The ordinary, common
place things of the world do not attract
attention; only things Of value invite
contention.
"KRnsas will in the future, as she has
in the past, overcome more difficulties,
create more surprises, and make more
material advancement in a given time
than any other state in the union.
"Kansas is the only state that ever
grew enough wheat in one season to
furnish bread for more than a week for
every man, woman and child on the
face of the globe from Orient to Occi-
dent, and from 'Greenland's icy noun
tains to midas corral strand She is
the only state that within a hours can
furnish climate suited to the taste of
the ice man from Iceland, the Pole
from Poland, the Hol from Holland, or
the tropical savage from BoFneO in his
untTammelliDg suit of sunshine.
kansas is the only state that can
mix in the commerce of every cline,
aud where hot wind will effect the
markets Of Christendom. Within the
last ten years the state has raised sUfh-
cient corn to fstten enough cattle to
drink up the waters Of Lake Superior,
and enough hogs to furnish ham gravy
sufficient to float the United States
navy. She has enough natural gas to
supply the furnaces Of civilization, and
enough salt to make picking brine out
of sll the fresh waters on the globe.
"The heads of Kansas people, taken
as q whole, carry a larger stock Of

MESSAGE OF THE BELLS.


Ring out, blithe bells of the New Year!
Ring out to all your summons cleaFt
Message Of hope, despair to quell,
Is borne upon your silvery swell.
Ring, bells of cheer, across the snow
Til with courage faint hearts giowl
Hath friend seemed faithless, love grown cold
Hast lost that wand Of magic, goldl
Saddest of all, hath death snatched one
Whose presence was to thee LIES sun3
Yet look not back. The darkest cloud
But serves an azure sky to shroud.
Thy friend his fealty yet may prove.
Love that could change was never love,
and folly 'twere lost wealth to mourn,
While tickle fortunes wheel doth turn.
Grim death, though conquerer Of clay,
Bows to a mightier conQuerer's sway,
Thy loved one hath but crossed times sea
To its fair shOFe-eternity.
