a Reason why Mr.. McOord Should
Be Governor of Arizona.
The Brooklyn Eagle of the 20sh inst
publishes the following, which explains
itself:
zone OF the bitterest fights that has
occurred over the federal patronage
under the new administration is now in
progress over the appointments OF the
governor of Arizona. This matter has
been pending for couple of weeks past
and the President is unable to decide
the claims of the many candidates. Big
Western politicians are in the city with
out number advocating the claims Of
their respective favorises. and numb Der
of prominent Wall street operators aFe
foremost in the fight. The reas q they
are 50 interested in the outcome of the
fight for the goveruorship of this terri
tory is that thousands OF dollars hang
in the balance.
A short time ego she territory of Ari~
zone issued e large lumber Of local
railway bonds, and almost all OF them
we're bought in by some Wall street
men foE mere song. Ths bonds we're
shortly sfteFWsTd declared void by she
Supreme Court OF she Territory, and in
an appeal to the Supreme Court OF the
United States she decision of the lower
court was sustained. The New Workers
who had invested their thousands in the
Arizona bonds then hurried on to Wash
lngton, and during the last days OF the
recent congress secured the passage of
bill through both houses, which as
temped to legRlize the bonds. They had
been declared void on account of the
prohibition law, OF under whss is known
as the Harrison act, which limited the
expenses of territories to certain per
csnt. of the taxable property. After the
passage OF the act legsliz;ng the bonds,
mRndamus was brought before the
Supreme Court of the United States
but the couFb held that it was not man
datory on the loan commission OF the
Territory TO fund the bonds, ard, there
fore is dismissed the case. TIE COVER
nor of Arizona is ex-officio chairman of
she loan con mission, and the balance of
the board are appointed by him. he
has the power to fund the bonds and
make them worth 100 cents On dollar.
The Wall street candidate is ex-Con-
gresham McCord, formerly of lowe,
and as nearly all the Eastern influence
is In his favor, Is Is probsble that be will
be appointed. The next most pFomi-
nent candidate is man by the name of
StoddsFd, miner of Arizona, and q
native of New York city. He is said to
have the Endorsement of Senator Thomas
O. Plate. A brother OF Boise Penrose,
the Pennsylvania senator, is also in the
fight, ss ls also Dr.. Goodrich, who claims
to have the support of Secretary Aiger.

largely of college professors, at the instance
of Secretary Smith.
Secretary Francis letter shows that he
warmly approved the selections made,
covering p .319 $40 acres. and that he sug-
gests the Issuance of the proclamation on
Washington's birthday.
He said that the area of the reservations
then proposed would exceed that of all
those already established by about 4.000,000
acres, but that las our public forests are
being rapidly denuded and the loss result
ing therefrom is incalculable,'' he did not
think this apparently large area should
initiate in any degree against the recon-

There is another letter from Secretary
Francis to Senator Allison recommending

claims OF Its paciiication. This part OF
the letter is as follows:
The civil branch OF the government Is
Wei established, and its workings are
asily becoming more thoughtful and COM
plete.
The entire province OF Santiago, with
the exception OF several large towns, Is
entirely under our control. In more than
Ioo cities. towns and villages Spain has
not soldier, and has apparently relin-
qulshed all claims to that territory. She
no longer has civil representative IN most
OF the districts, while there is not one
town In the entire province but has it's
projects. or assistant projects appointed
by the republic OF Cuba.

OF the secretary Of the Interior and the

In the Supreme Court yesterday Justice
Shiras delivered the opinion of the court
In the case of the city of ST. Louis agt
the Western Union Telegraph Company.
The cases involved the right of the city to
tax telegraph poles in the streets at the
rate of IS per annum each, and 1t was de-
cided for the second time by this court.
The decision Of the court below, the cir
cult court of the eastern district of Mis-
souri,. which was in favor of the telegraph
company. was affirmed on the ground that
the questions raised by the city are not
presented by the record. The court did
not, therefore, go into the merits of the
tax law at all.
The court refused to grant the motion
to dismiss In the case OF N S. Swenson

ship Umbria alone was at fault in the col
lision between that vessel and the French
liner Iberia, ten miles OF Sandy Hook, sew
eral years ago, and must pay the damages
resulting therefrom.

licitor general to advance for speedy
hearing the case of the Joint Traffic Asso-
ciation, appealed by the United States
from the Judgment of the court OF appeals
for the second circuit, in favor Of the as
sociation, but the hearing was fixed for the
