MIR. iHARRIsON's SPECIAL.
Travelling Over the Country at the
 Rate of a Dollar a Mile.

Mitchell Harrison, Philadelphia stockbroker, is travelling through the southwest sightseeing and he doesn't care a continental for the cost. He was in Phoenix short time on Mon- day afternoon in his private car, which was brought up on the special train of General Manager Kruttschnitt and party
 The special train, private car and regular M & F. train, all went out simultaneously on Monday evening" On arriving at Maricopa it was learned that the westbound Southern Pacific to which MT. Harrison intended to attach his car was three or four hours late. General Manager Kruttschnitts' train was going east and MT. Harri son wante I to go to Los Angeles. MT. Harrison began demanding a special, but there was no engine in sight ex- cept the Nj. & P. locomotive, and he c061dn't have that. It was suggested
 him that he might hitch his car to the, limited. He replied by repeating his demand for a special When told that there was no engine to pull his special, he charged the railroad com

PREFER THE SUMMER TIME.
The Greatest Activity in Building is
 During the Hot Weather.

T don't know why it is, but it is nevertheless true that the greatest activity in building in the valley is in the summer time," said c. Campbell, the contractor and builder. ''The Ad- ans hotel was built in the summer, also the Fleming block and the Bark ley-Berryman building. There has been considerable building in the city and valley this winter. Besides the new business blocks in the city a large number of small residences have been built in the city and country. There is about the same amount of building going on all the time, but it is always greater in the summer than during the winter months. The class of buildings is much better, and cheap ness is more of secondary consider ation than it used to be. Over in Mesa there is some building under way, and that place is growing fast"

ARE YOU TO LIVE IN ALASKA?
Some Requirements That Will be
 Found Indispensable.

The universal article of diet in that country, depended upon and indispen- sable, is bread or biscuit And to make the bread and biscuit, either in the camp or upon the trail, yeast can not be used-it must be baking DOW der; and the powder manufactured by the processes of the Royal Baking Powder company, miners and pros pectOrs have learned, is the only one which will stand in that peculiar eli mate of cold and dampnesS and raise the bread and biscuit satisfactorily.
 These facts are very important for every one proposing to go to Alaska and the Yukon country to know, for should he be persuaded by some out filter to take one of the cheap brands of baking powder, it will cost just as much to transport it, and when he opens it for use, after all his labor in packing it over the long and difficult route, he will find a solid caked mass of lot of spoiled powder, with no strength and useless. Such a mistake might lead to the most serious results. Alaska is no place in which to experi- ment in food, or try to economize with your stomach. For use in such eli mate, and under the trying and fatig- uing conditions of life and labor in that country, everything must be the best and most useful, and above all it is imperative that all food supplies shall have perfect keeping qualities. It is absurd to convey over such difficult and expensive routes an article that will deteriorate in quality, or that will be found when required for use to have lost great part of it's value.
 There is no better guide to follow in these matters than the advice of those who have gone through similar ex- perience. MT. McQuesten, who is called ''the father of Alaska" after an experience of years upon the trail, in the camp, and in the use of every kind of supply, says: We find in Alaska that the importance of a proper kind of baking powCer cannot be overesti-

pany with neglect in failing to have engines steamed up and scattered along the right of way for the use of i'm patient travellers. A cheap restau- rant, he said, was better managed. One could go in at any hour of the day and night and call for cup of coffee or a piece of pie and get it without being asked to wait awhile and take something else. MT. Harrison closed his dissertation on railroad misman- agement by a reiteration of his de- mand for special.
 The local officials were in despair, when in the east they saw glimmer- ing star of hope which reminded them of the star of Bethlehem. It was the headlight of an engine pulling freight train laden with goods in manifest. There was, therefore no great push about their delivery. Photographic cor respondence was opened up with the office of the superintendent at Tucson with the result that permission was given that engine to haul MT. liar risons special as far as Yuma, where engines are always kept on tap and on toast. The train of carload lots was ac- cordingly set out, the engine was un- hitched, watered, rubbed down and hitched to MT. Harrison's special While the change was being made that gentleman was in a prodigiously good humor He set up cigars or whatever was wanted, so that when he boarded his special for his dollar a-mile journey, there was no thirst left in all the bailiwick of Maricopa and nobody wanted to smoke any more

WAR MAY END THIS WEEK
Little Doubt in Washington That spain
Will AcquIesce In the Terms of Peace

Especial to he Baltimore Sum-
Washington, July 31.-The prevailing
impression in official circles is that the
war is practically over. The author
ization which Spain is understood to
have given the French ambassador to
negotiate peace terms direct is regard
ed as conclusive evidence that the
spanish government is DESTROYS that
no time shall be lost in bringing about
a cessation of hostilities.
1t is, of course, true that whatever
agreement was cache by the presi-
den and the French ambassador must
of necessity be ratified by the Span
ish government, but it is also regard
ed as certain that Spain would not
have placed such wide authority in the
hands of the ambassador had not his
action been intended to be practically
final.
The terms of peace were transmitted
by the French ambassador to Madrid
today, and it is now generally believ-
ed that Spain will accept them abso-
lutely or will ask only for slight and
immaterial notifications. While not
officially announced, the terms are
pretty we'll understood. The cession
of Porto Rico to the United States,
the REIMBURSEMENT of all claims upon
Cuba, a cOaling station in the La
drOneS, and the reference of the ques-
ions concerning the Philippines to a
commission to be appointed by Spain
and the United States, are understood
to be the proposition which the presi-
dent las advanced as a basis of peace
negotiations.
1t is also understood that, pending
the settlement of all
either existing or likely to arise, the
United States is to retain possession
of all captured territory, also the city
and port Of Manila. Spain may &C
Quiesce in these propositions early this
week, and a suspension of hostilities
likely to become permanent, may be
declared before the week is over.
1t ha been the fear of the admin
%istration that the Spanish policy would
be one of delay and evasion, and that
possibly months might be consumed in
negotiations before any practical re-
suits would occur. 1t is now said to
be evident that Spain is as anxious
for peace as the United States is will
ling to have it come, and while there
is no intention of relinquishing any of
the advantages obtained in the war il
is confidently expected that no fur
Their general operations by either the
military or the naval forces will be
required to secure the objects for
which the government has been striv-
ing.
The United States, it is said, does
not want the Philippines. and if Spain
makes promise of better government,
and cedes to the United States such
portion of the islands as may suffice
for naval and commercial wants, there
would hardly be any disposition in
this country to object to the terms.
The president is said to be of the be-
lief hat there is no necessity for hui
initiating Spain further than is abso-
lutely necessary or in taking advant-
age of superior physical force to bull
dOZe a fallen foe.
