PREscoTT's MONDAY CLUB.
An Interesting Meeting Closes the
 Work of the Year by the Ladies.

An Interesting Meeting Closes the
 Work of the Year by the Ladies.
 The Monday club held it's final meeting for the season ca Monday afternoon at the-residence of Mrs. J. V. Shepard. Every member of the club, who was il town, was pres ent, and in-aaditiOn to the members there were a large number of in Ylted guests, the occasion being a social as we'll as a regular literary meeting of the club. The regular programme was carried out as fol- lows: A paper on History of the English Parliament by Mrs. Sarah NJ. Blake, and a paper on Public Schools and Colleges before Eliz-- beth," by Mrs. W. W. Ross.
 Discussion of the papers was omitted on account of the presence of the guests. After the regular programme had been carried out the following musical programme was rendered: Vocal solo, by Mrs. N. Lew; duet, by Miss Helen Wells and Mrs. J. c. Martin; vocal solo, by Miss Helen Wells
 Elaborate refreshments were served, rounding out the exercises of the afternoon as we'll as the work of the year by the club. The club has been very prosperous during the year, and its meetings have been source of much profit as we'll as pleasure to its members While all the members take an active interest in 1t, and are regular in their att tendance of its meetings, it Is no disparagement to any of them to say that 70 the uDAagging interest of its president, Mrs. F. A. Tritle, is due probably ID large degree the interest," kept up by its members. With a president less enthusiastic than she has proven, the lack of in- terest might become contagious among the members. Prescott's Monday club is an honor to the town, as there are few towns in the country of it's size where such an organization is kept up year in and year out as this has been and par tieularly with the same amount of interest among its members.
 At its last meeting the club voted to join the National Federation of clubs of the United States.

PreseOtt's PoIiteaI Study Club.

The Prescott Political Study Club keld its closing meeting for the sea- son yesterday. While the sessions of this club have been interesting throughout the entire year, yester- dav's was one of more than ordinary interest. The question for discus sion was, Resolved, that an alliance, offensive and defensive, should be formed between the United States and England" The discussion of the question was quite animated on both sides, and quite forcible and logical arguments sere adduced in support of the respective sides of the question. The affirmatives were Mrs. Otis and Mrs. Dake. The negatives, Mrs. Tritle and Mrs. DeLanty. At the close of the debate a vote was taken of all pres ent on the merits of the question itself, not on the merits of the de> bate, and it was found that there was an even division on the subject. On account of the vote, the question of such an alliance will have to be referred to some other authority. The object of this club is for the study and discussion of live ques- lions of the day, and 1t has had a very successful and profitable exist ence for it's members for year. It will now take a vacation for the summer, and will resume its meet ing again in October.

Rev. Jenness, of the NJ. E. Church, preached very able discourse Sun day night on the necessity of greater loyalty on the part of the citizens of Prescott on behalf of the city. In order to make 1t an ideal place of residence, he said, 1t should have not only a water supply, sewerage and graded streets with green lawns and shade but evil influences that prevail, corrupting the habits of the young people and destroying the purity of home life should be forced to give way to a higher morality. 4 more settled feeling of permaneney should prevail and every good citizen should feel responsible for the good name of the city.
 The Phenix Herald states that Governor NJ. H. McCord yesterday received the following telegram from ex-Governor Murphy in an- weT to the one sent to him: eOrder for regiment from Arizona will be issued today, l congratulate you. Lieut.. Tupes of Fort Whipple has asked the governor to designate two civilian surgeons to form board vi h one army surgeon to examine recruits. Letters received by the governor clearly indicate that the regiment will be recruited in very short order. This IS the biggest thing out aud is great compliment to Governor MeCord and especially to his energy and perseverance,.

AN ARIZONA VOLUNTEER.
What he Has to Say of Affairs Just
 Before Going to Cuba.

Private Charles Hodgdon, in a private letter to a friend in this city from Tampa, Florida, has many in teresting things to sa5, and from the same We are permitted to glean the following: The Rough Riders were on the Yucatan ready and anX- ious to go to Cuba, and were assigned to General Shafter's corps. The regiment was composed of Sl6 active men, and a significant fact is that with the exception of less than . half dozen men, every Arizona volunteer was selected Tor active duty. Many society recruits and milliOnaires who were detached to hold down" probable invaders and cclsole with the fair but distracted young ladies, and incidentally to lookout for the horses, are "chewing the rag to everybody but the off cers. and seem to be impressed with the Ides that their gsliantry ID full fuil dress is no criterion as to their availability to wear bullet proof cloth. Some of these gentle soldiers in consequence, have requested me to send to Arizona for a reservoir of Hasssyampa water, in order that their physique may be toned up in fighting trim and that their ineli- nation to "whoop 'em up" wsll be sufficient to impress the officers ef- fectively. The mascOtte is also on board and is still giving the regi- ment a great amount of notoriety, and is now handled by everyone
 He is called Bob" in honor of Bob Brow, and the only regret We have to express is that the generous giver is not along with us to share in the fame. Most of the boys on the Yucatan are devnting themselves to swimming, and much sport is had. We visit comrades by swim ming from one steamer to another except when an ugly gun boat comes along and makes us 'heave to-" The weather is delightful, but from July to fall the heat Is said to be some thing terrible. We expect to leave tomorrow evening, June If, and San tiagO will be our destination. The sight in the harbor is a magnificent and impressive one, aud shows what war means when one sees nothing but big warships with ugly guns pointing at you, thousands of boxes of ammunition, hundreds of artillery pieces. and thousands of determined men who are anxious to go on. We shara fba saroa dacrraa of r,tuaOrz as you undoubtedly do in Prescott, the only difference being that here it strikes like tornado when against us, and if good, "we don't do a thing" There are 45,0O0 men ou the transports, over hundred ships all told. and with the big fighters like the Indiana. to look out for us, we feel secure in getting through. My next will be from Cuba.

eig Appliea.ion for Timeer pareh....

A petition was filed in the United States land office today from ]. c. Brown, C. E. Boyce and Fl. E. Howe. under the act of March 8, 1891, and February 13, 1898, as defined and regulated by General Land Office circular of March IF, 1898, for the privilege of purchasing and cutting timber from 4,0S0 acres of land in CoeOnino county. Heretofore the only way to secure the timber from nOn-mineral lauds of the territory has been to take 1t up under the homestead act or through the pur- chase of isolated tracts. After per fecting title to the land the owner, of course had the privilege of selling or otherwise disposing of the tim Der. In either of these ways this land has always been valued at $250 per acre and has been readily cold for that for the timber alone. The estimated value of the timber on the above tract applied for is x4,SS0 or little over $l per acre. Under these new regulations, before the timber can be sold, or before per mission can be given to cut the same, the application has to be for warded to the commissioner of the general lsnd, office who designa.es some official to carefully examine and appraise the timber and other questions involved. If his re- port Is favorable, the sale will be duly advertised, when bids will bs received at time and place desig- hated in the printed notice. If the timber is sold payment must be made for 1t and all the timber cut and removed within one year. Fail ure to complete the cutting of the timber forfeits all remaining on the land at the expiration of the year, as we'll as the forfeit of the pur- chase money.
 The above application is the first one received at the Prescott land office, under these new regulations. The amount of timber on the land, as estimated by the applicants, is 4,SS0,000 feet, the estimated value, as its stands ia the forest, being S1.00 per thousand.

eoRED BY A HARDENED STEER.
Wash French's Terrible Experience Last EVening.-SeriouslY, if Not
 Fatally Injured.

Wash French, venerable citizen of Prescott, aged nearly 70 years, had terrible experience last evening with an infuriated steer, and an ex- perience which may cost him his life. Mir. French runs a little dairy in the southwest part of town, aud last evening between 5 and 6 o'clock, as he was engaged in looking after his cows, a maddened steer ap- preached him from behind, and be- fore he was aware of its presence or of any danger. 1t attacked him and tossed him up in the air with it's horns. The ininriated beast fol- lowed up the attack by madly plugging its horns at him and trampling upon him as he lay help less, bruised and bleeding on the ground. Mrs. French. seeing the critical position her husband was ID, gave the alarm, when Mir. Boltz, who chaneed along. secured rife and fired three shots into the animal before bringing him to the ground, each shot, till the last one, seeming only to further eDrAge the beast. The last shot took effect in a vital part, killing the animal.
 Mir. French was assisted to the house, and medical aid was sum mOned, when it was discovered that three ribs were broken. besides nu- merous other bruises and lseerated wounds, and it was feassd that in ternal injuries had also 0een sus- tained.
 It is stated the animal, with an- other, was being driven to town by two men on horse back. That when near the French place, this one showed light, and gored one of the horses, when the men left the ami mals. Before its murdeFous attack on MT. French. it attempted to gore one or two other people in the vicinity.

Irene Affair More Serious Than Re
ported.

London, JulyH16.-The Daily Nails
Hong Kong correspondent cables that IL
is "Now known here that Admiral
Dewey ordered the correspondents at Ma
Mia not to give the full story Of the Irene
for fear of arousing feeling in America
which might lead to complications with
Germany. When the full details trans
pire 10 wifi be seen that the incident was
more serious than it at FIRST appeared. As
soon as the American ships came on the
scene of action in Subig bay the Irene
slipped hef cable, leaving her anchor in
the bay. The American consul, Whitman
refuses to say more than this, taking the
same line of policy as Admiral Dewey.
1t is believed by those who Know Ad.
miral Dewey that on the arrival of the
monitors Monterey and Monadnock he
will insist upon his harbor regulations
being carried out to the letter. The opin.
ion among the foreigners at Manila Is
that the Americans will never forgive
the Germans for their meddlesome attic
tude in the Philippines. 1t will not only
hurt them In trade with America, but it
will also effectually destroy all of Ger
many's chances of having any say or In
fuence in the disposal of. the Philippines
If they should become American property.

He has been more anxious than he dared
show as to the condition of our siok
soldiers and looked with apprehension
upon the possibility of q prolongation of
the struggle in the unhealthy valley of
Santiago. The Secretary said that the
Porto Rican expedition would go forward
Immediately. It will comprise new men
entirely. The warriors in the trenches
before Santiago have distinguished them
selves and it is not deemed prudent to
bring them in unnecessary contact with
new troops, in view of the danger of
spreading contagion. The sick soldiers
will be nursed back to health and brought
to the United States as soon as they can
be safely removed. Immune regiments
will be ordered to Santiago to garrison
the town and two of these regiments are
already under orders to proceed. The
Porto Rican expedition will be COM
manded by General Miles in person,
though General Brooke, now in com.
mand at Camp Thomas, is expected to
be his main dependence. The size of the
expedition will depend upon General
Miles's wishes, although 1t is believed
that 3d. 900 men will be sufficient for the
purpose. At San Juan the navy will be
of greater assistance than it was at Santi-
ago owing to the possibility of approach
ing the town more closely without risk
| ing contact with mines. General Brooke
| is now on his way to Washington by
direction of Secretary Alger SO that he
| will be in position to make his views
known to the department.. The experience
gained in despatching Skaters expedi-
| ton it is expected, will aid the officials
| in their determination to make short
| work of the Porto Rican affair." There
will be plenty of transports available for
the expedition, as the government has de-
yised other means of removing the Span
iards captured at Santiago to Spain than
by carrying them on these transports
That the navy is ready to do its share at
short notice goes without saying. Porto
Rico is not expected to offer a very
formidable resistance. 1t is believed that
