Brief Reflections Upon Events Of Current
Interest Across the Ocean.

1t is solemnly announced from Ger
many that the kaiser is ''about" to per-
petrate another of his musical compost
tions. The action of William in thus
giving notice that he is "just about to
begin" is presumably prompted by
species of imperial consideration toward
the musical critics, who are thus afford
ed an opportunity of leaving the coun-
try before the blow falls. On the occa-
sion of the publication of the emperor's
"Sang IN Regir' nearly every critic who
ventured to find fault with it was ar

The widespread misery and want that
prevail in Italy appear to be exercising
disastrous and degenerating infu-
ence on the physique of the masculine
portion of the population. According to
official statistics just issued by the war
department. at Rome, out of every /, 900
young men of 20 years of age liable for
military service, which is obligatory in
Italy as in Germany and Austria, $50,
or more than half, were rejected by the
medical authorities as physically dis
qualified for service in the army.

At the time when the Peninsular and
Oriental liner Alden was wrecked on the
island of Socotra, in the Indian ocean,
last May, only those who had been de-
serted on board the stranded vessel were
rescued, no trace being found of those
Of the passengers and crew who had left
the ship on board the three lifeboats.
Two Of these contained only men, while
in the third there were IL sailors, 8 wo-
men and 8 children 1t was believed un-

had gone to the bottom. But quite re-
Gently the British authorities at Alden
and at Muskat have obtained informa-
ton to the effect that at least two of the
boats, one of them being that contain
ing the two women and children, had
reached the Arabian coast, and that
those on board are now held in captivi-
ty by the lawless Arab tribes of the
coast, who are disposed to treat for
their release on the basis of ransom.
The British government has now taken
the matter in hand and negotiations
have been opened both from Alden and
Muskat with view TO securing the
Liberation of the captives.

excitement reached fever heat. This
has been augmented by strike made
by prospector named Kane, who but
few miles distant from the phenome-

on a mountain Of malleable iron. This
assayed $4,000 to the ton. Then the
rush began to be irresistible, and from
Sentinel also parties began to outfit

the news has been far spread Frank
Guerra, after making careful examina

Speaking of cattle interests yester'
day W. M. Griffith, the cattle baron oz
Dripping Springs, said feed is excellent
and the cattle business in Arizona Is
nearly back to where it was in palniy
days. Cattle are away up, much hlghf
er than is usually known. Years Of
drouth together. with the combina-
ton to, keep the market down, made i
tough sailing for several years, but
now there is such shortage through
out the United States that they could
be kept down no longer. Texas and
other breeding grounds are not furn~
ishing the old time supply and as
result there is a strong demand Oh
Arizona for feeders. In our section
of the territory there have been no
losses this winter and the calf crop is
good.-Gazette.

| Few Facts Regarding Arizona

The following is taken from Gov.
Franklin's message to the 10th Legis-
lature:
"We need capital to develop our
grand resources, and I trust that you
will enact no legislation that will. keep
it from seeking an investment within
our borders.
"We have millions of acres of arabic
land that can be made to blossom as a
rardan We have the water that could
reclaim them all; what we need is
capital, and yorr legislation should
not be ramed SO as to deter it from
seeking an investment here.
sour mineral output for the past
year amounts to nearly fourteen mill
lions of dollars, and I believe that it
is much more, for it is impossible to
obtain the extra figures.
AS copper producing territory we
will soon rank first in the. Union. and
our gold produce is increasing annu-
ally.
The export Of cattle during the past
year amounts to nearly three millions
of dollars. This is q grand exhibit of
which any Arizonans should be proud.
Our mining industries are in the
very infancy Of their development
and our great agricultural lands which
are susceptible of development when
water is supplied, which will be sup
piled in the future, will cause thou
sands of immigrants to come to our
territory.
Our climate. cannQt he excelledl bY
any portion of the globe, No portion
of the Mediterranean excells it, and [
hope that your legislation may be
SUCH as will induce immigration"

There Ia ene state in the Union which
permits the death penalty to be in
ficted by shooting. That state is Utah,
the newest of all. A murderer named
Patrick Coughlin was lawfully shot to
death in Rich county recently by a
firing squad composed of six deputy
sheriffs. The law which is derived from
the previous territorial legislation on
the subject, allows the convict to choose
whether he will be hanged or shot. The
validity of the statute was questioned
some years ago in the Supreme Court
of the United States, but it was upheld.

An experriment of great Importance
to the copper industry, undertaken by
the New Haven Railroad Company is
the substitution Of copper sheathing
for paint and varnish on the exterior
of passenger coaches and such a coach
is now being run between New YorA
and Boston, says an exchange. Even
the numbers and letters are of metal
so that there is no paint or varnish on
the exterior of the bar and the surface
is as smooth as though vanished. II
coats no mere mere e. coat Gar with cop
per sheathing and it only requires ten
days to do it while it takes month to
varnish and dry car. If the expecta-
tions of the New Hayen company are
fully realized all their passenger cars
hereafter will be finished in copper
sheathing and, its employment by other
roads will follow. u that event the
consumption of copper in the United
States will be enormously increased.

The Island Of Crete.

The Apostle Paul found things stormy
when he visited the Island of Crete,
and in his letter to Titus be eases bis
mind by automatically quoting the
opinion given by the natives by zone OF
themselves, even a prophet of their
own, who Sc id the Cretans are always
liars ant evil beasts" Then he boldly
adds "this witness is true" Whatever
imdrovement may have oyertaken their
habit of Disgusting the truth III the
course Of nineteen centuries. 1t must
be confessed that they have managed
to hand down a goodly share Of cat
and dog quarrelsomeness to the pres
ent generation. They are never happy
but when fighting, and fight is not
reckoned at it's best until it develops
into a massacre. The population is
made. up OF Moslen Greeks and Chris
tian Greeks, either mixture being bad
in the simple and terribly explosive
when mixed.
The island belongs to Turkey though
it is coveted by Greece, as if she had
not trouble enough of her own. Home
rule has been tried, but failed, because
there was too little home and too much
rule. The conditions are such that
there is very poor prospect for MIL
lenial peace in Crete until Greek Mo-
hammedan and Greek Christian shall
have exterminated each other to make
room for their betters.--Exchange.

Those individuals who make it a
business to injure the reputation of
others and in every way endeavor to
break them down, out OF sheer spirit
of rivalry, says the Tucson Star, little
appreciate the fact that every wrong
attempted in the direction of their
purpose, reflects greater injury to
themselves, than on the person to be
injured. There is but one single ex-
ception to this rule, hence those who
engage in the practice seldom succeed
in life, and when they do it is but for
few days, and these are full Of trou-
bic.

FOR A TEST Of SPEED.
Talk of a Special Race Between
the Yachts Edna and
Embla.
The Result of Discussion of Their
Repectivse ShOwings in Sun
days Regatta,

As one of the outcomes of the California
Yacht Cubs regatta Sunday two OF the
largest boats that comprised the racing
feet are more than apt 10 come together
for a special contest in the near future.
These are the Edna and the Embla.
After Sundays battle royal over the r.
mile course was finished and Admiral Won
Schmidt's Whirlwind was declared the
victor by virtue of her time allowance
there was much discussion among the
yachtsmen in gard to the magnificent
struggle that had taken place during the
race between the Edna and the Embla,
which landed, respectively, in second and
third places. The EN- bla is brand new
boat and this was really the first time
that anything like a fair line could be
drawn on her as to her sailing qualities,
for it was practically her debut as racer.
She was out in contest once before, 1T is
true, but on that occasion she met mis-
nap before she had proc eded far and was
compelled to Withdraw. But after her
performance of Sunday, when. with
borrowed spinnaker and but half supply
of misht kites, she chung so doggedly TO
the Edna throughout the race, there we're
those who declared themselves as willing
to wager that in another race the new
boat WOulQ snow COmIhOuoTe hdnCabLST >
swift one a good clean pair of heels.
1t is this discussion that has stirred up
the prospect of special race between the
two flyers. Commodore Lancaster is not
willing to admit that Sundays contest
should be taken as an indication that the
EN- ba is better boat than MS own, and
is too game sportsman to permit chal-
lenge to go unaccepted. "If it's another
race, tits" said he, like 'Barkis is Nillin.'"
Vice mmodore Walter, who sails the
Embla has not been heard from IN refer
ence to the talked-of match, but his friends
say for him that he would gladly welcome
an opportunity for another chance al the
commodore.
With this spirit of willingness thriving
on both sides, those who are itching to
see the race cume off say that there is no
question that the match will be consum-
mated 1t would be a grand contest, and
one well worth going miles to see. 1t will
doubtless take place over the same course

WALC0TT AND DIXON.
The CoIored WeIter- Weight Will Fight
Green Before the National
Climb

O'Rourke's pugilistic stars were given
an outing yesterday bv Young Mitchell.
Dixon. WalcOtt and Everhardt were driven
to the Cliff and through the park, and
they we're very much pleased with the
scenery.
Manager O'Rourke had an interview last
evening with Directors Gibbs and Groom
of the National Club, and he was surprised
to learn that George Green had signed to
fight Wal colt under the ausDices OF the
National Club. in fact, he stated that he
was given TO understand that one of the
other clubs which is bidding for pugilistic
talent had signed the champion welter-
weight.
O'Rourke said that the National Club
was good enough for him and that he was
perfectly satisfied that mis- protege, Wal
colt. should fight Green under its aus
pieces.
ORourke wrote to Green last evening
that if he (G-een) was satisfied 10 fight
Walcott a match could be made very
easily. Green is rusticating in the Santa
Cruz mountains. and a favora bic answer
to O'Rourke's letter is expected in the
near future
Young Mitchell called at the business
office of THE CALL last evening and said
that he would cover the deposit OF $3.50
left there some time ago by Dial Hawkins,
which Is guarantee that he (Hawkins)
would weigh in al o clock on the even
ing of his fight with Dixon at 128 pounds
Mitchell represents Dixon and o. RourSe
and doubtless he will deposit $3.50 to-day
with The CALL guaranteeing Dixon's ap-
pearance on the scales and at he required
weight at O'Clock on the evening of the
contest.
Dixon can very easily get to weight,
and it Is the opinion OF experts thai he
will OF weigh over 100 pounds when he
meets his opponent inside the ropes.
