THE MINERS MEETING.
The Attendance Was Principally From
 Maricopa County Districts.

The territorial miners association still remains unorganized. Maricopa county was represented at the convention yesterday by six dele gates, but there was not another county in the territory that sent a full delegation. Some of them sent none at all. B. s. Clark came down from Flagstaff to represent Coconino county, H. J. Allen and w. s. Adams of Jerome represented Yavapai county, J. H. Carpenter came up from Yuma without the other five delegates cho- sen, and B. B. McCabe was the only delegate present from Pinal county
 These with the full delegation from Maricopa county made up the conven- tion that was held in the Elks' hall
 beginning at 10 o'clock. Mari copa county felt that it held the convention in it's grasp, and it was suggested by several of the de- egates from this county that the meeting be adjourned until a larger representation could be had from the other counties. Capt. J. H. Evans did not want the meeting dismissed with out some expression from the dele gates present, and he started the speech making by saying that the i'm. pression which has gone abroad that the organization is to be formed fol political purposes should be dispelled by the selection of representative min | ing men to fill the official places
 Let us select men who are above petty political schemes, and let it be knowr that our organization is to advance the mining interests of the territory, said he. T want such men as MT Allen of the United Verde or MT. Gage of the Congress mine selected as off. cers of the association. They will gvt it standing among mining mer which will be beneficial to the terri. tory's mineral development ant | growth. This contemptible notion o

CERTIFICATE OF AUTHORITY.

Office of the Territorial Treasurer, Phoenix, Arizona, December 31, 1S97 I, c. w. Johnstone, treasurer of the territory of Arizona, hereby certify that the Manchester Fire Insurance company of Manchester, England, has filed it's annual statement for the year ending December 31, 1896.

In testimony whereof, I here unto set my hand and affix my official seal this December 6, 1896.

porter for The Republican after the adjournment and he said he would notify each member of the commit 5e, and the time and place for their meet ing would be arranged by them. The address, when prepared, will be pup lished in the territorial papers.
 The opinion among mining men who are earnestly working for the oIga- nization of miners association seems to be that the action of the meeting was a step which will ultimately lead to the desired end. The call coming from the mining men will give no one license to raise 9 question of poll- tics in the next meeting. The feel ing among the delegates was strongly opposed to political questions entering into the deliberations of the meeting, and it is thought that had here been a full representation of delegates pres ent yesterday the association would have been formed tremendously.
 The Maricopa miners will meet on Saturday at Elks' hall to complete their organization. They will take steps immediately to secure a hall and the collection of mineral exhibit will be begun at once. This organization will no doubt have fully entered upon it's good work before the territorial convention is called. Then, as MT. B. Heyman of Phoenix aptly suggests, the Maricopa miners will have demon strated how easy a matter it is to or ganize without letting politics have any voice in the matter. The Mari copa miners have the interests of their county at heart, and their orga- nization will be of great benefit to the mining interests of this section of the territory.

can be used as a prestige to advance
 their interests must be stamp d out. i"
 B. Heyman of Phoenix suggested that the meeting adjourn until after the Maricopa county miners should meet and perfect their organization in order that the territorial convention might know how to organize. While his sug- gestion bore some strong marks of irony. MT. Heyman at the same time had concealed in his coat pocket a beautiful onyx gavel which he had made from his own onyx product to present to the chairman of the con vention.
 In the absence of Chairman M G.. Samaniego of the temporary organiza- tion, w. S. Adams of Jerome, editor of the Mining News, was chosen to preside. F. c. Devereux, who was made secretary at the preliminary con- vention, was present. MT. Adams made a good chairman, and his pleas ant smile kept the delegates in good humor.
 Dr. J. M. Ford spoke at some length stating the position of Maricopa coun- ty, and he also offered some sugges- tions in Ngard to organizing the as sociation1 He said: 'The call issued by Governor McCord to the miners was responded to by large number Of mining men in the territory. The convention saw fit to adjourn the meeting until this time in order that they might get thoroughly represen- tative body of mining men together to complete the organization. Each county was asked to select six de,e- gates to this convention. In order to get good representation Maj icopa county mining men met and organized an association with forty members We selected six delegates, all of whom are here today. Now what I want to know is where IS the interest in this organization shown by the other coun- ties of Arizona? Maricopa has done her part, but for the best interests of the whole territory I do not think it is policy to organize today without the other counties fully repres antsd I think we should adjourn sine die, and begin all over again. Let the miners issue a call, and let us eliminate all politics. It is for the best interests of the territory to have mining men at the head of the organization, but they will not go in until we show them that we are not called together to advance the interests of any political party. 1 Maricopa county organized without a word of politics, and the territoria association should follow in her foot steps,"
 J. H. Carpenter moved that the meet ing adjourn sine die, but there was no 1 second to his motion. Capt Evans suggested that the chairman appoint a committee of one miner from each county to call another meeting and is 1 sue an address to the miners of the territory. Some little discussion fol- | lowed, but it was finally decided to accept the suggestion of Capt Evans | Chairman Adams appointed the fol- | lowing committee for this work: w.
 A. Rowe, Yavapai Capt. J. M Evans, | Maricopa; J. H. Carpenter, Yuma; P.
 R. Brady, Pinal; Wiley E. Jones, G1a- ham; Gwynne Dennis, Coconino; R. A.

ROTTEN FIR ANCE,

France as a republic is as thorough
~ dominated by the military as she
was as an empire under Napoleon.
France is only a republic in name. In
every other sense she Is a corrupt mill
tarism supported by a venal press and
polluted by boodling politicians. Vice
and ignorance prevail everywhere.
Paris, its capital, is a very Babylon IN
Righteousness. France is the only ma
ton which fails to show an increase
in population, and about one-half Of
the inhabitants of Paris are of illegid-
mate birth. Soon the majority Of all
her men will be known only by the
name of their mothers and the women
by the names Of their lovers. If any
think this extravagant language let
them look up the cold figures Of French
statistics. Sometimes one is led to
think that maybe, after all. the com
mune" is the hope of France, the COM
mune whose representative is the mob
in times of trouble.
There is a movement IN France 20
abolish public decapitation, but the au-
thorities are afraid to take action be-
cause Of the historic paris mob" The
movement started as a result of the
grewsome recital Of such decapitations
in Zola's Paris" and the better class
of the French people are in favor OF
making the decapitations private. But
the lower classes, who hold tremend-
Gus power, want to have their taste
for bloody scenes satisfied, and if the
authorities refuse to grant them this
pleasure, they will have a wholesale
decapitation as in the days Of '93. The
Paris mob is by no means a thing
Of the past. The shadow Of revolution
still hangs over the French republic.

HOG INFORMATION.

A number of farmers in Butler and
Sedgwick county have for years been
pasturing hogs on alfalfa fields. In
stances have been reported wherein
hogs were sent directly from alfalfa
to the markets without ever having
tasted corn or other grain. 1t is assert
ed by others that alfalfa-fed hogs are
not subject to cholera and so forth.
Secretary f. D. Coburn. of the board
of agriculture, is DESTROYS of communi-
eating with any who have had expert
ence in rearing hogs mainly on either
alfalfa, Kaffir corn and the sorghums
(both as pasturage or grain), also bar
ley. Mr.. Coburn believes these crops
afford in large measure the basis for
a greatly increased and very profitable
pork production in much of Kansas,
and is DESTROYS of ascertaining for
public benefit what is being done along
such lines.

on half rations, and great majority
Of people were without ordinary whole
some food. Besides, the city is living
in constant dread of an attack and q
bonbardment, these things which have
for weeks been reported by passengers
who have managed to get away from
Havana, are now confirmed by the in
tercepted telegram referred to. It
looks now as if there will be no neces-
sity for bombardfng Havana, that the
governor general, his army and all the
inhabitants must either surrender or
starve.
President McKinley's ambition has
been to successfully prosecute and ter
inmate the war with as little loss OF
life on the American side as possible,
and everything now points that way.
That is the reason why an attack has
not been made upon Havana. the
president knows that the government
at Madrid is on the ragged edge OF &c
spair; that the present ministry can
not survive many days; that the mon
archy itself is lettering; that three
dangers, viz: a revolution Of the peo-
pie, a dictatorship and Weylerism, and
an attack by the Carlists, menace the
throne and that the queen regent and
the present ministry would be glad to
negotiate for peace If they dared to

THINKS II A BLuFF.

The Spaniards pretend that they be-
lieve that the order for an American
squadron to go to the Mediterranean
is a bluff, and so their papers and poll
ticians scott. They say that Watson's
ironclads and cruisers could not bonn
bard the fortified coast cities Of Spain
with effect, and further that Europe
wouldn't permit the bombardment of
unfortified places. When Watson gets
over there they will sing a different
tune. Europe's consent was not asked
when the United States declared war,
and if any country in Europe attempts
TO interfere it will be at its peril. Our
experience at San Juan and at Santiago
may sustain the idea that ships can
not reduce land Notifications very eff
fectualiy. But there are other things
which Watson can find to do and which
will prove anything but agreeable to
Spain. Camaras fleet or that portion
which he is to leave behind him, will
not be hard to find. Besides, the Med
iterranean is alive with Spanish mer-
chantmen and craft Of all kinds which
Will make merry picking for Watson,
who will need a thousand extra sail
ors to bring back the vessels which he
will be capturing. In short. Watson,
with his squadron, can practically de-
stroy the commerce of Spain. And 1t
is not so certain that Watson cannot
destroy the antiquated Notifications
of a number of those old coast cities.
Watson is not being sent over for any
bluff, but for lively work, for work
which viii count against Spain and
count with those other nations of west
ern Europe which have been counting
trouble. Unless the unexpected occurs
the Dons Will sight the stars and
stripes off the coast of the Iberian Pen
Ursula, and in the very near future.
In sending away Camara's fleet the
government has deprived the Spanish
coast of its only protection. Every city
of Importance is fortified, but the de-
lenses are usually ancient and useless
in the presence Of such battleships as
the Iowa and Oregon, which are in
Guided in Commodore Watson's squad
ron. Captain Mahan is said to have
convinced the president that a few
shells dropped in these ports Of Spain
Will have more influence on the terms
of peace than the capture Of both Ha-
vana and San Juan. Spain has already
given up her colonies in the Antilles
and has no anxiety as TO their suffer
ings. She does not care how much
property is destroyed in Cuba or Porte
Rico or how many lives are sacrificed
on those islands. She is only thinking
Of her own pride and the affectatio1
which the Spaniard calls honor.

THE WORLD TAKES NOTE.

OF course America is going to aston
fish the world before this war is ended.
The world does not understand that
the United States Of America'is packed
full of soldier heroes and statesmen
millions of them. There are farmers IN
America. thousands of them. that can
give Lord Salisbury pointers, and busi-
ness men and professional men ana
mechanics by the tens Of thousands
WIN know more Of the world, of it's his
tory and affairs than the average he
reditary lord and duke and the Ike OF
monarchial Europe. There are million
of men in America who possess bet
ter comprehension Of national destiny
and Of the nineteenth century trend
of things than does Emperor Wilhelm.
So on land and sea, in the Occident
and in the Orient, American sailors
and American soldiers will be doing
things which will cause the eyes OF the
world to open wide in establishment.

machine drill The American has no
rival in all-around self-reliant man
hood. Given ten years Of time and the
United States Of America can clean
up the entire Jeffete situation from the
Bay Of Biscay to the Bay of Bengal,
from the Gulf Of California to Hong
Kong. A Yankee tug, with two one
FOUNDER guns tackled the British steel
protected cruiser Talbot, $500 tons,
twenty knots, five 6-inch, six 4.7-inch,
nine twelve-pounder and one three
FOUNDER rapid-fre guns, four machine
guns and four torpedo tubes, and fired
across her bows, taking her for Span
lard.
1.-The officers Of the Talbot were sim
ply aghast at such effrontery," says an
English spectator. Il don't believe
there was ever such a spectacle on the
high seas before-a tugboat firing on a
man-of-war, and coming right along
looking for trouble. If the
Talbot had been a Spaniard 1 thor
oughly believe the Yankee tug would
have opened a fight then and there.
The humor of the situation ap-
pealed to US, and we laughed over it
for an hour"
1t was humorous, Of course, but when
you find a navy whose men are ready
to fight a twenty-gun cruiser with a
tugboat, how are you going to beat It?
To be sure, the Yanke sailors might
possibly be a little more cautious If
their enemies were not Spanlards.

A CITY IN STRAITS.
