APPROPRIATION BILLS PASSED.
Tho Senate Provides, for Diplomats and the
House for Fortiflcntions.


Washington, Feb. H. The senate
yesterday passed the diplomatic and
consular appropriation bill and fixed
next Wednesday at 4 o'clock as the
tine for O final vote on the immigra-
tion conference report. These were the
only features Of the open session, which
was cut short early in the day by the
executive session on the arbitration
treaty. The diplomatic and consular
bill as passed carries $1,645,3 ,30S slight
increase on minor items on the house
bill Mr.. Morgan took occasion to show
that congress was appropriating for
salaries of ministers to Nicaragua and
other Central American republics al
though the president had recognized
union of three OFF ,hese republics. The
senator asserted that the presidents
failure to inform congress on the state
of affairs led to this complication. The
salaries were allowed to stand.
The senate spent the greater part OF
the day in executive session debatins
the Anglo American arbitration treaty.
The entire time was consumed by SEN
ators Turpie and Morgan, the former
in advocacy Of and the latter in oppo-
sition to ratification. No action was
taken on any amendment or any part
of the treaty. and but little appreci-
able progress was made.
The house passed the fortifications
appropriation bill with but single
amendment, and made some headway
with the postoflice appropriation bill.
But the major portion of The day was
consumed in a political debate on the
financial question Which was precipi-
tated by an innocent provision in
bill which was passed authorizing the
territories TO fund their debts at
lower rate of interest than they are
now paJBg. 1t was q provision Guthor-
iznr the issue Of gold bonds to fund
outstanding gold bonds of Arizona.
An amendment was finally adopted
limiting the authoriz .tion of gold bonds
to Arizona.

A communication signed by the presi.

of $500 because the present appropriation
was not Su1nclent TO meet the running
expenses of the Company 1t having to re-

further amendment by Mr.. Smith that

A BAND OF BROTHERS.

In every land gallant band they join the
hand to-day,
With manly grasp In friendships clasp
the great Y. M G. A.
From east, from west, from north and
south, far over the ocean wave,
One brotherhood Of man, they shout, one
God above to save.
No creed, no race, no color, they from

A nobler manhood points the way with
which they are imbued;
"We want you, men; we want your help;
come with usW is their cry,
Come, brothers, we shall help you, too,
to find ideals high.
Shall we, Columbia's sons, stand by and
watch the unequal fray,
While Satan's bands In ambush lieP Abs

George X. Lloyd one of our Oldest citi-
zens, has been confined TO the house with
the rheumatism for several weeks past. He
is under the care asf DIR. Cordesa, the
oldst doctor of our State.
A. = Ottey also is not able to be out of
the house, on account of rheumatism, and
kidney troubles. He has been on the
sick list five weeks.
Harry MCComb who has been very low
with pneumonia, Is now II great deal
better and with care will soon be able to
be about once more.
When the sad news reached us here of
the death of Mrs. McComb, mother of
our beloved townsman, James G. McComb
our citizens were somewhat startled The
latter was Scry fond of his mother, and
during her sickness visited her often We
don't suppose man ever lived who was
moroguttached to his mother than Mr.
McColrb. The writer having been
associated with him during the last ten
years, has come to the conclusion, though
man that makes no profe,s sion, that this
would bo much better W rid, il the
were more James McCombs in it. There
are very few men who do more than he to
relieve the wants and sutfcrngs OF those
who need it, and we believe he receives his
reward for so doing. He believes in doing
right, also in being right.

chasing the Rock Cut train robber.
They ran across their man two miles
north Of Peach Springs. The robber
was mounted. and every now and then

was kept up through the deep snow
