About twelve o'clock Monday nigl

About twelve o'clock Monday night
the beautiful school building in Nephi
school district was burned to the
ground with all it's furniture, books.
apparatus, etc. The fire was OF in
cendiary origin. DR.. scroggs who
was returning home from protes-
sional visit on the Mesa, noticed the
light. in that direction and drove down
and found the building enwrapt in
flames and several Of the neighbors
heroically trying to extinguish them'
Their efforts were unavailing. Prof.
Varnum who had a room in the rear
of the school building saved most OF
the contents of his room, but he lost
about $500 worth of books in the
main building. 1t was discovered the
next morning that an attempt had
| been made to fire residence near by
the school building, as there had been
a lot of coal oil saturated upon the
side of the kitchen. No motive is
known for the commission of the das-
tardly deed and no clue to the per-
petrator has yet been found. The
burning of this building, an attempt
to burn which was made about three
weeks ago, is sad blow to the good
people of Nephi. The building was
constructed about four years ago, the
district having voted bonds therefor
and it was the pride of the district al

steam shovel was being unloaded, says
the Yuma Sentinel of the 10Th. Most
of the machinery had been removed
from the boat when the water came
down in torrents aud was soon run
ming into the river in stream four
feet deep. The big sweep weighing
twenty-five tons and number OF
smaller pieces of the machine were
washed into the river and remain
there yet. Mr.. Anderson, who su-
perlntended the construction of the
barge came to town yesterday to make

cry out of the river and putting it in

''The southern portion of Arizona is
re pidly coming to the front as an ag-
rjcultural district" said Ralph Dillon
of Jerome, Arizona, at the Brown
Palace in Denver. "It is hardly pos
sible that the entire territory will
ever make much of a reputation for
itself in that line, owing to the want
of irrigation, but that section lying
south of Phoenix is forging ahead at a
great rate. The climate conditions
are conducive to agriculture and hor-
ticulture, and many of our citizens
are branching out into that business.
The land IS exceptionally fertile, and
when water is placed uron it, produc-
es crops that are simply wonderful.
Large canals have been built to irri-
gate enormous tracts of land and
Others are in course of construction.
The mining, cattle and lumber indus
tries of Arizona are also making a
name for it with the outside world.
The time is coming when Arizona
will surprise people"

DUN'S MONTHLY REVIEW.

A remarkably large holiday trade
closed the year 1897, year totalling
up the largest volume of business
both speculative and commercial, and
the lowest commercial death rate since
1892. The opening Of '9S is charac-
terized in the business world by the
passing of financial distrust, increased
industrial activity, especially iu the
west, and quiet confidence la the
future. Unusual business for the
season is noted in the iron and wool
industries. Cotton only is halting;
price conditions favoring neither pro-
ducer or manufacturer. Foreign trade
continues satisfactory.
In our Immediate district the OUT
look for good year has improved.
The delayed rain has come ard reliev-
ed the anxiety of the farmer and the
merchant, who began to fear a dry
year.
The cold snap of December, it has
been demonstrated, affected only about
lilo OF the orange crop, and the
succeeding warm weather caused
m ,st of these to fall. The crop is
maturing rapidly and shipping will
soon be actively resumed. The de-
mand is fairly good. The destruction
of the Florida crop still unshipped,
although but small percentage of
the yield, had an effect in stiffening
the market.
Olive picking season is about end
ed. Prices for both olives and olive
oil are at present higher than for
years and as there is scarcity in the
foreign crop the probabilities are for
further advance.
A stronger demand for drted fruit
is developing. The eastern market
seems to be recovering from the de-
preston caused by the liberal offering
of inferior stock and there is more
inquiry for choice grades and offerings
are held firmly at full figures. An
active export demand has developed
for apricots and prunes.
Nuts are unchanged Lemons are
held we'll in hand at the recently ad-
vanced rates. Hay and grain have
Leen held stifly with no indication of
weakening
In looking back over the past year
! it has in the main been an unusually
prosperous one for Southern Califor-
MIA and ARIZONA. Crops have been
abundant, aud on the whole satisfac-
tory prices have been realized. The
development of our uative wealth in
petroleum and minerals was crafty
ing and the increase in the number OF
manufacturing plants was encourag-
ing. The improvement in the wool
industry and the cattle industry had
material effect on the bettering OF
trade conditions, especially in Arizona.
The general expression is that il
the rain continues to come right 1t
will be great year.
Failures in December nine, liabil-
tiles $22,000; assets $4,000.

TNDEPETDENC CE,
PoIicy o2 PopuIists and Silver Re-
pubEcans in Congress.

WASHINGTON, March 29-Repre-
sentatives Of the Populist and Silver
Republican clements in both the SEN
ate and House held an informal con-
ference just before Congress convened
to-day, and outlined in a general way
the policy to be adopted toward Cuba
1t was agreed that the recognition of
Cuban independence was the only
course to pursue at this juncture
Senator Allen and Representative
Rell Of Colorado were accordingly au-
thoTized to introduce in the two houses
a joint resolution embodying the con-
ference views and indicating the line
Of policy adopted.
The resolution as introduced by Rep
resentative Bell follows:
Resolved, By the Senate and House
OF Representatives. that the separate
political existence and independence Of
the Republic OF Cuba, now and for
some time heretofore maintained by
force of arms. be and the same is
hereby recognized as separate and
independent nation. That the United
States shall Immediately intervene, and
put an end to the war now being waged
on the island of Cuba and succor and
there concentrated for the purpose of
starvation and determination. And for
the purpose of carrying into effect the
provisions Of this act. and enabling the
President of the United States to fur
nish such concentrated people with
food, raiment and medicine, the sum
of $J03,CCJ is hereby appropriated out
Of any FUNDS in the United States
Treasury not otherwise appropriated
Representative Ridgeley of Kansas,
who also represented the Populist
wing of the House at the meeting, also
introduced the same resolution, but
prefixes it with the numerous where
asses indorsed at the meeting and in
corporated in the Allen resolution
Representative Marsh stated that the
resolution introduced by him was the
exact language of the declaration of
war Of 1872 issued by this country
against Great Britain, except that it
omits conferring authority on the
President to issue letters of mardue
and reprisal.

RTCTING III LEWISTON.
Miz-vp Between Striking Weayers
and Police Officers.

LEWISTON (Me), March 29.-Great
excitement prevailed for time to-day
when the striking operatives of the
Andrcscoggin cotton mills gathered
about the gates of the corporation to
endeavor to prevent the return of those
who are willing to abandon the strike
and resume work.
About 200 persons were assem- bIed
near the gates before the usual hour for
the help to go in. AS those who were
ready to so to work appeared the strik-
ers endeayored to persuade them not
to do so. When the efforts failed there
was disturbance. Agent Bean of the
general corporation, who appeared in
the midst of the trouble, was hit with
a stone. but he was not injured. Sev-
eral of the squad of police officers pres
ent were struck with stones and pieces
Of wood, but no one was seriously hurt.
After the machinery had been started
the strikers disappeared.
About 900 of the GOO or more opera :
tives went in yesterday Agent Bean
claims that about fifty more began
work to-day, and that he now has al
the help he can use in view of the small
amount CT machinery that can be op-
Grated in the weaving department.

SENATE CUBAN RESOLUTIONS.
VIII be Considered To-Day by the
Foreign Relations Committee.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-Much
interest is felt in the meeting of the
Senate Committee on Foreign Rela
tions, which is called for 10:30 a. m. to-
morrow, to consider the various raso-
lutions introduced in the Senate.
The only question of doubt is wheth-
er the committee viii take action at its
sitting tomorrow. In view of the rec
ords of the members on the Cuban
question, and their present attitude,
their is no uncertainty that their ac-
ton will be pronouncedly favorable to
the Cubans. Members OF the commit
tee individually spoken with express
the opinion that the committee will re-
port q resolution declaring for forcible
Intervention. Such is the purpose Of all
the resolutions introduced to-day. and
the general feeling is that any less rad
ical action would be of no avail.
Senator Gray of Delaware is the
only member of the committee VINO did
not vote for the recognition of ballig-
erency and independence when the res
olutions for this purpose We're formerly
before the committee, but the fact is
recalled by other committeeman that
at q recent meeting he expressed tie
opinion that intervention would ne
necessary.
On the other hand. Senator Morgan
appears to be disposed now to regard
the Presidents wishes to the extent Of
opposing precipitate action without
careful inquiry beforehand If the
committee does not reach a conclusion
tomorrow, it will be asked to dpi1y
until something can be agreed upon.

Looking to ForGibIa Intervention by
the United States.
Mason Of Illinois Delivers His Announced
Speech on The Presidents Message
Transmitting to Congress the
Findings Of the Maine Court.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-Interest
in the Cuban situation-the interest
might almost be termed excitement-so
intense was it, reached a climax in
the proceeding of the Senate to-day.
AS on previous days of discussion of the
Cuban question, thousands of people
fiocked to the Capitol, only a few of
whom, comparatively, could gain ad-
mission to the galleries.
Within five minutes after the Senate
convened Allen of Nebraska introduced
a resolution recognizing the independ-
ence of the Cuban Republic. This was
followed by a resolution proposed by
RaWlins of Utah, declaring war against
the Kingdom of Spain. Foraker of
Ohio then introduced a resolution, de-
claring for such Intervention in the
Cuban war as would bring about the
independence of the island. Follow
ing this came a resolution by Frye of
Maine, demanding that Cuba be made
free.
The resolutions followed one another
so rapidly as to almost stun the audi
tors, both Senators and spectators The
galleries We're in a commotion, and the
people We're prepared for anything.
This was the condition when the
Vice-President recognized Mason of Il
linois for his announced speech on the
Presidents message, transmitting to
Congress the findings of the Maine
court of inquiry. Mason read his
speech from manuscript. but it was
delivered with all the vigor and fire
of which he is capable The intensity
of the feelings of those in the galleries
was evidenced by the storm of applause
which was elected by his declaration
that ne was for war. Vice-President
Hobart had real difficulty in suppress
ing the demonstration.
After Mason's speech the Senate
pessed seventy-four private pension
bills, and followed this order with eulo-
gies on the late Senator Earle of South
Carolina.

WILL SOON BE BROUGHT TO \
HEAD
WASHINGTON. March 29-Senators
and others who have talked with the
President last evening and to-day say
that the proposition for the armistice
came from Spain. and while it is being
considered by the President in connec-
ton with other negotiations, he had
insisted that any proposed arnstice
must be completed with other con
ditions which Spain had not shown
disposition to accept, and perhaps will
not accept. 1t is stated by one Sena-
tor that matters would be brought to u
head within a very short time.

SPANISH sYTUATION.
The Only Subject Of Consideration
at Tie Various Departments.

WASHINGTON, March %. = The
Spanish situation was the absorbing
and practically the only subject of
consideration at the state, War and
Navy Departments to-day, and al
though the main interest Of the day
was conferred in the Cabinet meeting
and the general course of Congress.
yet the active negotiations now pro-
ceedinG with Spain made the State
Department hardly less a center Of at
tention, while the preparations Of the
war and navy branches went on with
unabated vieor.
Th& Spanish Minister, Senior Polo,
reached the State Department shortly
before noon. and was with Judge Day
over half an hour The meeting was
by appointment one of Judge Days
clerks having been sent TO the Minister
to ask him to come to the department
at tho earliest moment
Pending his arrival Judge Day went
to the Navy Department and had a
talk with Assistant Secretary Roose-
veit. Soon thereafter Mr.. Roosevelt
returned the visit, and had talk with
Judge Day in the latter's office. The
reports of riots in Havana led to the
belief that movement was on foot
to have American ships sent to the Gu
ban capital as measure of protection
to American interests. It is not likely.
however. that this will be done for the
present.
Owing to the disquieting reports
about trouble at Havana. Judge Day
prepared the following statement.
which was posted in the Chief Clerk s
Office Of the State Departments:
"Teiegranls from Lee show no rea-
son for the alarming report as to the
situation in Havana"
This was the only reference Judge
