A SPECIAL dispatch from Washington to the Phoenix Republican says: "It can be said on direct authority that Arizona appointments will not be made while the horde of Arizona office seekers remained in Washington haunt ing the White House and the depart ments. If they will follow out the Presidents desires and go home the appointments for the territory will be quickly made. The persistency with which the hunt has been conducted has irritated the President to such degree that he has departed from his usual urbanity of manners in his reception of applicants of late, when he has consented to receive them at all. The judicial and United States marshalship appointments will not be made before next September. The new Governor and Secretary will be announced as soon as the last Arizonan known to be wanting an office has boarded train and is safely on his westward way. It is not likely that the insistence of the candidates will be rewarded or that anything more substantial than an un- favorable impression of Arizona peo- pie and political methods will follow the applicants expenditure of time and money.o

YAvAPAI county is gaining an unen- viable reputation for the lawless acts committed within it's borders; but talk ing the law into theirhands by the peo- pie would not help matters. Two wrongs never made right. The fault liesin the administration of justice by the courts, and as there is likely soon to be a change the people can afford to wait.

IT is said that President Mckinley has emphatically declared himself in favor of home rule for the territories.

THE Florence victims of the scamps who recently took orders for enlarging pictures will be glad to learn that the rascals are in jail in Graham county. But it ought to prove lesson not to patronize men who have no standing in the community in which they seek to do business. Yet it is fact that these travelling fakirs can collect money where reputable local business houses have never been able to discover that any existed. It was Barnum who said that the American people de- lighted in being humbugged.

That Bull Tick Law.
From the Globe Silver Belt.l

lrrom the dlobe Silver Belt.
 A new industry has sprung up on the Arizona border, born of the ..bull tick
 stock law. By industry we thriven has deep meaning. An individual who was pardoned little more than year ago from the Yuma prison, with copy of the new stock law in his pocket. engaged in the cattle busi- ness, and, impressed with Davy Croekett's advice, sBe sure you're right, then go ahead" had his CD stock brand recorded at Phoenix, and then proceeded to accumulate q herd. He found many cattle of that brand which had ssrayed into Graham county from New Mexico, aud aided by con federates he gathered upwards of 1, 199 head as nucleus and hopes to have d very respectable number before the close of the season. The authors of of the new stock law builded well. They were evidently moved by the worthy desire to increase the available resources of Arizona, and if New Mex leo and Sonora stocklnen have ang grievance they will have to appeal to the Arizona courts for the restitution of their property. Section 45 of the Arizona stock law reads: "No brands, except such as are recorded under the provisions of this act, shall be rec ognized in law as any evidence of own ership of the horses, mules, asseA or neat cattle upon which such brand may be used" Therefore, there is no salvation for the stockmen of the rest Of the United States and of Mexico but to have their brands recorded at Phoenix, the metropolis of the universe.

HE "bull-ticls' law is the most uu- just measure ever put on the statute books of Arizona. It was gotten up principally in the interest of the big cattle men living along the borders of New Mexico and Sonora.

Hum phries, formerly of this city, has re- gently been appointed special attorney of the Japanese legation in that city. Mir. Humphries' friends in Columbus will be glad to hear of his appointment to this highly important position, as 1t shows that he has established himself in the confidence of the people with whom he has cast his lot.

 About ten o'clock this morning a tele- gram was received from Prescott stat ing that Assistant District Attorney Norris had died from the effects of his wounds.
 Sheriff 0rne with 8 small posse left on receipt of the first telegram from Prescott yesterday afternoon for the north in an effort to come up with the escapes and this morning another posse left this city takeng the Black Canyon road.
 Parker, the train robber, is a valuable man to Sheriff Ruffner, as rewards to the amount of s4, ,5G0 are offered for his capture and conviction by the railroad and express companies, which reward had almost been earned, and it is safe to say that he will again be safely be- hind the bars at Prescott or lying on a slab in the Cornor's office before Sheriff Rutfner gives up the chase. A reward of 5000 is offered by Sheriff Ruffner for the capture of the escapes dead or alive.
 PREscoTT, May 10.-L. E. Norris, the victim of yesterdays jail break, died early this morning. He was very popu- lar and his death has intensified the feeling so that conservative men talk about lynching if the escapes are captured.
 A telephone message. received from Chaparral from ex-Sheriff J. R. Lowry, one of the pursuing posse, states that the latter struck the trail early this morning and the fugitives were headed toward the Agna Fria valley. Depu- ties Frirchild and Bugglin, of Coconino county, who assisted in the capture of Parker last February after the train robbery, left Winslow this forenoon for the Tonto Basin country, toward which Parker is heading, in order to intercept him should the posse from here fail to overtake him. A reward of 5000 is of fered for his capture, dead or alive.
 Pritchett and Fitch, arrested yester- day in connection with the escape, have been discharged, there being no evidence to hold them.
 PREscoTT, May 13.-To-day has been one of uncertainty and suspense, as has been heard from the posse in pursuit of Parker since yesterday 1 when the Indian trailers were put on the trail, less than twenty-five | miles from Prescott. At that time the officers felt certain they would capture their man before night. None of the are yet located.

One of the posses overlook the es- capes last night near the Black Canyon road and a fight took place during which Miller was wounded and one of the horses killed. The horse killed was the one ridden by tbe Mexican and that fellow started off toward the Crowned King mine on foot while Parker and Miller on the same horse went in the direction of the Verde. The fight took place in the dark which accounts for the escape of the despara- does.
