The conservative ministry Of Spain
having thoroughly d. lonstrated its
utter inability to settle the Cuban
question has retired, and been
succeeded by Liberals. The Queen
Regent expresses her fear that the
new ministry viii not prove strong
enough to perform what is expected
Of it, but its appointment seemed to
be the only alternative, in view Of
the present and prospective attitude
of the United States government
upon the Cuban situation. The
Spanish dynasty is in straitened
circumstances indeed, with a de-
pIeted treasury, no credit, greatly
impaired sources Of revenue, and
two big rebellions which refuse to
be put down. Poor Spain.
The British Minister Of Foreign
Affairs is having lots Of trouble, and
home journals are charging him
with a want Of courage. With two
or three able bodied rebeIlions or
his hands he is not in a position tc
be over cranky towards the United
states or any other power which
ranks among the greater nations Of
the earth.
The greatest Of American strike
leaders, Eugene V. Debs, now
frankly admits that strikes can re-
suit only in loss to both employer
and employee. Had Debs acted
upon this idea dr years ago the
great A. r. L. strike and its un-
fortunate consequences would never
have occurred.

Mir. B. A. Packard of Cochise coun- ", Is gathering several hundred head of feeders to ship to the Salt river valley and fatten for market
 Phoenix Herald: Mir. Wm. Mitch ell, the Rumble Bee cattle man, whs has been iu the city for the past couple of days negotiating the sale of his range and 5000 head of cattle, went to Prescott yesterday He ex- poets to return in couple Of days, when he will close the deal for his cattle.
 WiHsiow Mail: Mir. Fisher from the Rye Creek range in the Tonto Basin country, shipped $50 head of beef cattle from this point on Thurs day last. Mir Laberteau was the purchaser and the cattle were destin- ed for his pastures in Mora county, New Mexico. The gentleman in charge of the cattle says it is forty miles nearer Winslow from his sec tion of the Tonto country than to Holbrook, and better road.
 Range News: Stock throughout the Sulphur Springs valley was never in better condition at this season of the year than now, and especially is this true of that section along the west side of the Dos Cabezas and Chiricahua mountains. In the Riggs neighbor- hood good beef may be had and all the young stock is in fair marketable con- ditiOn, and all along down the valley the same conditions prevail Feed is abundant and ockmen are jubilant.
 Range News: Nearly all advices from the big Mexican ranges just south of the border indicate that the Mexican cattle supply available for shipment is practically exhausted, ss aresult buyers from Colorado, Ne braska, and Kansas are swarming into every part of New Mexico asd Arizo- na and making extensive purchases at prices that have nnt been realized by livestock men for decade Kan sas parties have , 1000 head which cost them close to s20 per head.
 Stockman: The big majority ot range cattle from northern Maricopa, southern Yayapai and portions uf Glla counties, which are sold to shippers to be shipped from points in this valley are sold by weight, and by SO doing, the cattleman get considerably higher prices that in other sections, where the cattle are sold by the head. 4 bunch of cattle which came into the valley yesterday from northern Naricopa were in good condition the threes of which bunch will easily average ,0O0 pounds in weight. and at the prices sold for-2s cents per pound, makes a very comfortable ig- nre for range steer. About two weeks ago bunch was brought down from the Cave creek section, in which were the cattle of A. J. Hoskin of his bunch 1t was estimated that fully 60 per cent were yearings, but his cattle averaged him sls.50 per head, l with only 70 per cent Of twos and ! threes. These prices are certainly all | right, and the cattlemen who have cattle for sale are congralulating themselves. as they have perfect right to do

"Arahian Nights"

To those patrons of the Third Avenue
theater who witnessed the production of
Young Mrs. Winthrop by the Broad
way Theater Company the first of the
week, the transformation 10 a roaring
farce last night was rather startling. to
say the least; and yet a prettier or more

Interesting and replete with comical situ-
ations. Arthur Hummingtop. whose wife

her destination. The night being foggy.
he ties a handkerchief around her neck
and forgets II. The handkerchief has
been worked with his full name and ad-
dress, and the young lady, who proves 10
be the gutta percha girl in the museum
calls TO return IL and incidentally have a
good time. During her call she Is discOv-
cred by Hummingtop's mother-fn-law, and
he, in order to get out Of a dilemma,
introduced her as HIS niece. who is ex-
pected from America. To make matters
worse, the real niece puts in her appear
ance. The fun that is furnished by the
situations comes fast and furious.
Miss Sarah Truax. as the gutta percha
girl, did some excellent work. II. II.
Blackmore, as Arthur HummingtOp, was
at his best, and kept the audience IN roars
of laughter. Guy Post as Ralph Demerod
was natural and displayed a fund of dra-
matte talent. Charles Hailock as Joshua

dude Miss Helen Henry. as Mrs. Hum
mingtop, was as charming as ever.
The play was preceded ny the charming
