BIRDS OF WAR.
Carrier Pigeons VIII Bring News of
the Enemy-s Approach.

the Encmys ApprOach.
Pigeons. according to the present plans
of the Navy Department. will be the first
to bring word to the officials of the ap-
proach of a hostile fleet to these shores,
and the work done by Government birds
in trials has shown that they can deliver
a warning from the sea at least eighteen
hours before an enemy could reach our
coast, and five hours before the fastest
dispatch boat could run in. in case she
should sight the enemy 200 miles out.
On board the speedy picket boats that
are now patrollinS the Atlantic Coast hun
dreds of hOming pigeons are kept in large
wicker baskets. Each bird has affixed to
its leg-band the number of the cote to
which il belongs, so that the officer who
wishes to send message ashore can
choose the fiier that will carry il 10 the
place to which he desires to send it.
When an enemy's fleet is sighted doz-
ems of these pigeons will be set free. and
each of them will be the bearer of infor-
nation to the cOmmandant of the nearest
navy yard or station, telling him of the
strength and position of the hostile fleet
The cOmmandant will at once telegraph
to the Secretary of the Navy. who will
in consequence. be able to give out quick
ly orders that will result in the mobiliza-
tion of an intercepting squadron.
These birds have not been brought to
such perfection as messengers without
deal of patience and perseverance on the
part of the Naval HOming Pigeon Service
which is in charge of Howard Carter,
who has put the birds successfully to
some of the hardest tests under cOndi-
tiOns that would prevail in case of war.
They are twice as speedy as the fastest
torpedo boats. he declares.
In training they are flown singly from
10 to 80 miles at a time before they are
put on board the ships for official work.
This method has been in use for a long
time and has been found to be the most
efficient. Mr.. Carter made his first test
March 81. from Sandy Hook. when the
birds covered from 96 1-2 to A. miles an
hour.
Mr.. Carter always Hberates his birds

singly. He found that the old method OF
flying pigeons by taking baskets fun OF
them and liberating them all together did
not have satisfactory results because the
birds became bewildered and lost much
time in getting started.
Since the system was established birds
have flown 80 miles at a time, which is
proof of the tremendous value of them as
messengers In case of conflict.

The Island Stars defeated the Blsters
yesterday by a score of 26 to 16. There
was heavy batting on both sides, with
the Stars in the lead. The feature of the
game was the playing of Riston and Gro

struck out eight men in four innings. The

AN UNWARRANTED CONTEST.

Yesterdays dispatches stale that Mayor McFisson will probably contest the seat in the United States senate to which Mark Hanna was recently elected The contest is to be based upon the alleged bribery charges which were made by the defeated fac
 tion at the time Hanna was elected. McKisson, who is mayor of Cleveland, Hanna's home, wants to be senator himself and was the candidate of the anti-McKinley republicans of Ohio
 Charles l.. Kurtz, Governor Bushnell McKisson's packers. They raised heaven and earth and enlisted the services of the democratic press of the country to defeat Hanna. When they failed the cry of bribery and fraud was raised and now Senator Hanna is Ito be put on the rack by these soreheads. The fight in the republican party in Ohio is one of long standing and rare vindictive- ness. That both factions are guilty of reprehensible conduct there is TO dieputing. For a, long time, however, the Mckinley wing of the party has held the whip hand. There is little doubt that the friends of President Mckinley could have defeated Fora ker for senator two years ago, or Bushnell for governor, at either of the elections which he won. had they chosen to do so. That they did not, shows that they were true republi-
 cans and lovers of fair play. The same votes which elected Governor clared for Mark Hanna for Unite d States senator. Had the Kurtz-Bush- nell crowd been fair they would have accepted the decision of the voters at the polls and aided Hanna instead of opposing him. On the contrary they went right on with the fight and even tried to form combine win the democrats to carry out their purpose That they were outwiBted and fe.]
 down completely is now a matter ot history. The defeat of Hanna al this time would have been a party and a national calamity, the responsi- bility of which would have rested up on this revengeful combine. There $ little doubt but that the carrying oi the contest further will come to
 naught, as it properly should.

The Treble Clef club is arranging for another recital to take place at anl early date at which Miss Mabel Mes senger will assist and make her debut in Phoenix. We look forward to hearing Miss Messenger win great interest.
 The following is a little fact worth chrorfcling: IA lady ordered a firm to send a tuner to her house to put her grand piano in order. The expert came, operated, and returned. In a day or two a letter of remonstrance came from the lady, stating that the piano was not tuned properly. So the head of the firm wenlt down himself to investigate and on arrival was con- ducted by his hostess to the offend ing instrument. After exhaustfve,y y testing it's intonation, he politely re- marked that he found it in perfect tune. T quite agree with you" said the lady. Tt is all right when you play on it. But directly I begin to sing to it, it sounds entirely out of tunev'

GOSSIP OF CYCLEDOM.

A soft tire is almost as treacherous as quicksand. It goes back on one when everything seems all right. Coasting Q rough hill, turning sharply a corner or. out of a car track will wrench it off frequently and sometimes punctures it.
 County road commissioners in Penn sylvania are allowed to devote one tenth Of the road taxes for the construct ton of paths for the exclusive use of wheelmen. They are not compelled by the law to make these paths, but the wheelmen see to that.
 In London, when a scorcher is arrest ed, ii he is riding very high-geared machine. that counts as.evidence against him. The authorities over there are wise enough to know that no rider cares for an 80 or 90 gear, unless he wants to scorch.
 Arthur Zimmerman, who was cham pion for 1892, 1893 and 1894, will reenter the lists next year. He has signed a contract with the management of the Princess Park track in Paris to ride in competition races and record trials from March 1 to Septem Der 30, 1898.
 The bicycle lift" is the latest imag- mary disease attributed to cycling. It is alleged to be due to involuntary con traction of the leg muscles, resembling the equine string halt" No doctor ever reported a case of the kind, but the story goes well with the yarns abou: the bicycle face, eye, hand, foot and back.
 It is the general opinion that city au- taorities will soon enforce the use of brakes on aH wheels, and therefore in re1tors are at work again. At least three varieties of brakes have been put out which operate by lever roller con- ing in contact with the chain when the rider back pedals, the lever driving a spoon against the tire. Another style operates by pressing button on the grip, thus raising lever attached to a friction band on the crank axle.

THE IMMIGRATION BILL.

The passage of the immigration bill by the senate, and by a. good majority, would indicate that the bill is des- tined soon to become a law, especial ly as the measure has been almos. unanimously approved by the repub- lican members.
 The question of educational restr.c- tion upon immigration has been be- fore the people of the United States for a long time, and has been various ly attacked and advocated. There can be no doubt, however, that there is a. regulation should be in force. While cur country is still open to immigra- tion on a generous scale cur numeri- cal strength is now so gneat that we can we'll afford to discriminate. The hterate and the otherwise worthy wilh be as welcome as ever, but thera is nO longer room for the very low est classes of foreign people who have made the United States a refuge only to breed social discord and men, ace the very freedom that invited them from the lands of their nativity.
 Sentiment in favor of this restric- tion has become so strong that oppo- sition now emaniates almost wholly from the great steamship compand S and a few other interests that would suffer from the cutting down of inn migration. The enemies of the pres ent bill, and other measures that have been proposed. have been most ac- tive in circulating any and all kinds of literature designed to make sea.ti- ment against the proposed legislation. They have mailed this ntera. .ure- to newspapers, and when, in turn, a few newspapers took the bait, the Tehash has been distributed broad cast. It seems, however, that there are enough right thinking men in the present senate-and probably enough in the house also-to secure the pas i sage of the bill. The measure is no!
 an exacting one. Its provisions arr i as liberal as could be devised in order i 70 put in force a wholesome educa. !, tionnl restriction.

The Tucson Star of the 22d has the following to say on the home rule matter: When you hear persons declare that such and such persons are Ever of any given measure, be- cause it may be to the personal ad- vantage of the advocates or that they oppose a given measure or object, be- cause it may prove disadvantage to them, put it down as rule which will admit of rare, exceptions that they believe the person of whom they speak or pretend to judge, are advo
 them were they in the place of the persons of whom they speak. This fact can be applied with force to those newspapers which cannot conceive how a person or other journals can disagree from them, except from se,- fish motives. They show themselves in a still more unenviable light when they take it for granted, and charge others with opposing measures, who have not given an expression of opin- Ion on the subject. But they con- ceive that it would be to their per- sonal advantage to defeat the meas ure, hence, according to their own views, that man is all for himself as against the community and the world
 They take it upon themselves to see the standard of action of others by their own pint measure The fact is we'll illustrated by some of the so- called home rule frothings of those who don't seem 10 have the slightest conception of what the home rule bill provides for OF what home rule a1 set forth in the Congressional bill mea

 The territorial Bar association has Al]7rsed Judga Webster Street as chief justice of Arizona.

The people of Arizona do not want home rule" IL is statehood or nothing with them. In fact. a more idiotic scheme of gov ernmenlt has seldom been sprung on an unsuspecting people than this home rule business. It is a remark able fact that the repudiation ele- ment of the territory is the element that is urging the home rule bill.
