Arizona republican., 1897-11-13

Washington, Nov. 12-It is the in- tentien of Chairman Cannon of the appropriation committee of the house to begin the preparation of -he ap- propriatiOm bills at the earliest mo- ment possible. He has announced the appointment of sub-committees and those on the pension, legislative, ex- ecutive and judicial bills have been called to meet on November 27, week in advance of the assembling Of congress. AS the house is fully or ganized by the appointment of the standing committees, it will be ex- pected to get down to business as soon as congress reassembles for regular session on Monday, December 3.
 Ordinarily it requires month to organize the house, and the month of December at the regular session sees practically nothing in the way of work accomplished. But the organization of the house at the special session this year will save valuable time and it is almost certain that at least one of the regular appropriation bills and probably two, will have beel passed before the Christmas recess is taken.

JAILS FAIL TO HOLD THEM.

Memphis. Tenn, Nov. 12.-J. A. Thomas, the forger who mysterfous,y escaped from jail here April 15 and was recaptured by local police and PfnkeTlson detectives at Mobl5rly, Mo-. October 2, again escaped before day light this morning by saving iron bars and scaling wall, a rope for the lat ter purpose as we'll as saw for the former, having been furnished from the outside. Tha community is much excited because Thomas is so we'll known, although the recent escape is not nearly so seElsa .ional as it's pre- decessOr.
 The escapa was Thomas third, his first having beirn from a Chicago jail, when wide attention was attracted Another exploit which contributed considerably to his nc.ioriety was his clandestine marriage at St. Louis to Miss Fannie Rutherford of Minne- apolis, Minn., and his flight with his bride to San Francisco after the Christian Erdeavorers last summer. But Thomas is most widely known by his forgeries, which have been ex- itieinSiVe.
 Later this morning three other pris- onlers escaped through the breach made by Thomas in the bars.

LAWS MERCIFUl MACHINERY
Adjournment of the California
 Supreme Court
Not to Meet Again Until the Second Monday in January When Fur ther Efforts for Prolongation May be Put Forth.

San Francisco, Nov. 12.-In view of the fact that the supreme court, which is now in session at Sacramento, will adjourn on Tuesday next until ths second Monday in January, it is not considered probable that W. H. T. Durrant, the condemned murderer of Blanche Lamont, will expiate the crime for which he was sentenced to be hanged in December, 1895, within the current year.
 In the ordinary course of events the matter cannot come up for hear ing upon the points involved in the order granting the certificate of prob- able cause, to which the murderer owes his second lease of life, until the middle of January. even though the forwarding of the remittitur from the supreme court of the United States be expedited.
 Alter the case has been decided. am other thirty days at least must in tervene before the remiftitur from the state supreme court can reach the trial court and the condemned man, he resemtenced for the second time. This course would not allow the execution to take place before the latter part or F'ebruary or the beginning of March next,

 Thirty Three Years Ago.

A HUNT FOR WARSHIPS.
Spain's Vain Endeavor to Prepare for

london, Nov. 12.-In connection with the Spanish hunt for warships, Amer ican diplomats have learned that Spain recently endeavored to make ar engagements with Japan whereby in the event Of war with the United States, thirty or so warships now building in various yards for Japan, would be transferred to Spain, and it is supposed that upon the failure of these negotiations the Spanish gov ernment entered upon a deal with Chilli for the transfer to the Spanish flag of several vessels about com p1eted for the Chilian republic.
 The diplomats refused to express an opinion that from standpoint of international law the completion of such deal might be regarded as an unfriendly act toward the United States. Besides the Rothschilds, oth- CT prominent bankers of London and Paris have entirely cut off the mon etary supplies which Spain has hith- erto succeeded in obtaining.

Grand Master Sovereign Talks
 of the Great Strike
LAWLESSNESS OF COURTS
In Their Attitude Toward Con-
 Stitutionai Liberty
He Recon that the General Assem- ply Now In Session Confine It's Work Principally to the Mat ter of Organization.

Louisville, Ky, Nov. 12.-Grand Master Sovereign of the Knights of Labor made his annual address be- fore that body in convention today. MT. Sovereign prefaced his address with the statem ment that the opening of this regular session of the general assembly presents to the world the same undismayed membership through whose fortitude and courage the spirit of progress combats greed and avarica and defes the cant and hypocrisy of ago. He recommended that this seS- sion confine it's deliberations large.y to the work of organization.
 MT. Sovereign then took as his theme the great miners strike He said in part: '"The great struggle was a test between undeIpaid, haf- starved labor and the arrogant, greedy coal barons. It was a strike born of hunger and necessity and appealed to all the higher impulses of humanity. On the side of the strikers stood the charity and philanthropy of the world beckoning onward the slaves of the mines. On the other hand were the shotgun policy of corporations and de- spicable court injunctions. Armed thugs were more desirable than the restraining orders of courts. Injunc- tions sought to give an air of official sanction and color of judicial dignity to the vilest expressions of anarchy ever uttered in this country. But anarchy in the judicial robe is no more respectable than anarchy in rags.
 "A judge who will suppress a peace able assemblage is no less a traitor to his country than was Benedict Ar mold, and citizens who will resist such than were the signers of the dsclaTa tion of independence and the heroes of Valley Forge. And if it ever 4comes to a contest betweel constitu- ; tional liberty and court injunctions, would prefer to wrap myself in the flag of my country and tear down the courts in defense of the constitu ion rather than dishonor the flag and tear down the constitution in defense of the courts. While this great strike was supported by all recognized la bor organizations and was the great est struggle of the kind ever known in America, to the credit of labor it can be said that there was no law lessmess or riot committed by the strikers

Sagasta and his advisers, however, re- gard the matter as being so serious that they have recently been dropping remarks about shooting traitors. This in itself shows that they no longer make the pretense that bhJe occasional exhibitions of mutiny are trivial.
 G.emaral Weyler is known to be much disaffected, but whaLhsr or not he IS a Carlist is not known. His has determined the cabinet to deal sternly with him, and it is even hinted that he will be used as an example and severely punished in an effort to frighten the other off
 cers of the army into acquiescence with the aims and motives of the present government. Tha foregoing facts come from the most reliable sources in Spain, and a crisis may be precipitated upon Weyler's arrival.

SPAIN FACING REVOLUTION.
Sedition at Home Makes War With
 United States Improbable.

London, Nov. 12.-All the talk about Spains wild desire to bring on a war with the United States must be taken with several grains of salt As a matter of fact the civil crisis in the land of the dons is of so grave a na- ture that the ministry has all it can do to keep sediltion and revolution from coming to the surface in such force as to precipitate a general up- rising. This perilous situation de-
 prives the United States and even Cuba and the Philippines of the at tention they would otherwise receive.
 Weyler's spiteful remarks, on his departure from Havana have caused the cabinet officials great concern, and l they are preparing a hot reception for lthe deposed captaLn- general The rev. plutionary spirit is widespread in the
 rmy, where the agents of Don Carlos have been, extremely active. The re-
 fly of their labor has been greater
 en than the government realizes.

McNall re- piled to Clarksons petition by filing a demurrer, but the judge overruEed it and at the same time denied the in junction.
 Judge Hazen says explicitly in h.s decision that the rating bureau has been conducted by Clarkson in viola tion of the Kansas antitrust law and that McNall has the right to revoke the license of amy insurance com pany using Clarhson's rate book, which is prepared and issued in vio- lation of law.

HUMAN SACRIFICES IN AFRICA.
Horrible Orgies Participated in by 8
 Tribe of Fetish Worsh.pers.

London, Nov. 12.-The stories of horror which came from Benin, the city of blood, are now repeated in the description of the fetish worship and human sacrifices at the City of Bendi, an important trading point, 1O0 miles inland from Opobo. The town is the headquarters of the god, Long Juju, ,'' and it is to secure the favor of this god that the human sacrifices have been made by the head msn of the tribe The only white men who have ever penetrated to Bendi were two of flcials of the Niger protectonate, who recently, by taking advantage of the superstitious fear of the natives, sue ceeded in reaching the city. Thsy were unable to reach the scene of the fetish worship, which is some little way out from the city itself, or to wit ness the orgies, of which, however, they were told by reliable natives.
 Their expedition was under the guidance of a native with the ways of civilization to trick his more ignorant

Here the natives met the white men, and the chief of the village com ing forward, marched in a circle, holding a skull in one hand. He called down all sorts of curses on the heads of the white men and proclaimed that, if any ill befell a native during the visit of the white men, the latter would be killed.
 This ungracious reception stirred the guide of the expedition ito respon- sive action Seizing a bottle of ordi- | nary soda water, he walked around in a circle, calling down equally ferocious curses upon the heads of the natives i if any harm befell the white men dur i ing hhh visit. He worked himself up i into frenzy, and when he finally ran out of breath and curses he jumped into the center of the ring, cut the string on the soda water bottle, and
