Great changes have been made ill the appearance of this part of the valley during the last four years.

In fact, in a residence of sixteen years in Arizona the writer has only known two persons to be overcome by the heat, and they recovered. Their condition, however, was more the result of whisky than heat. The air is so dry here that a registered temperature of l10 degrees is not as oDpres- sive as 80 degrees in St. Louis or New York. The Signal Service bureau has recognized this fuct, and reports the difference between the apparent and sensible temperature to be fulls 30 degrees. At nearly all times there is pleasant breeze; the nights are invariably cool in the summer, and outdoor labor is performed without serious discomfort to either man or beast on the warmest days Very seldom does the thermometer get be- low the freezing point in winter, and in the gardens of Florence to-day are castor bean plants two years or more old,

AFTER singer TAXES.
A Decision by Justice Van
Syekel Embarrasses the
State--Important Case.

Especial to ssThe Jersey City News."]
TRENTON, March T. 1S9S-Argument
was commenced before the Court of Err
rors this afternoon in the case of the
State against the Singer Manufacturing
Company. This is the most important
case to come up at the present term
Former Attorney General John P. Stock
ton represents the State and Joseph
Choate of New York and R. v. Linda
bury appear for the Singer Company.
The company was taxed on its total
issue of capital Stock, $1,000,000, less the
assessed value of its real estate in New
Jersey. The tax was levied under the
miscellaneous corporation act. Under the
act the State imposed one annual tax
upon the corporation, which it paid.
Three or four years ago the corporation
determined to resist its payment and the
matter was certioraried to the Supreme
Court The ground taken by the company
was that the provisions of its charter
exempted it from the payment of certain
forms of taxes.
The Supreme Court sustained the States
claim of power to tax this corporation,
as all Others by franchise tax,
and the matter was thought to be
firmly fixed under the decisions of
the Court in this and in other cases,
but an appeal taken to the Court of Err
rors resulted in an unexplainable opinion
by Judge Van Syckel, reversing the Su-
preme Court. The States hands were
tied by Van Syckels hostile opinion, but
Attorney General Stockton advised the
assessment again last year of the Singer
Company, and it is on this assessment
that the matter is in the Court of Errors.
Messrs. Stockton and Lindabury, will
present their arguments today and Mr..
Choate VIII close tomorrow.

measure he may deem necessary to main
tain the American contention:

1t can be stated on the highest au-
thority that the attitude of Speaker
Reed and some of the other Republican
leaders who have sought to keep down
been misunderst by the public. Their
purpose in delaying action on the. bill
creating two additional regiments of ar
tillery was to prevent, as far as posi-
generally known, it is nevertheless true.
that the Republican leaders of the House
have given the administration assur-
ances that any emergency action which
may be deemed necessary to uphold the
dignity of the country will be promptly
ratified. The whole aim Of The Repub-
lican leaders, under the leadership of the
Speaker, has been and is to avoid hasty
action or the possibility, so far as pos
sible, of incendiary utterances on the
floor which might make diplomatic set
tlement of the controversy more difficult.
But the administration understands that
the majority in the House is behind
them and that money and men will be
voted without stint when they are called
for.
Had the Spanish Government made an
official demand for General Lees recall
it would have had no recourse in the
event of refusal by our Government to
accede to the demand, but must have
withdrawn the Consul Generals exequatur
by leaving him without official status in
Havana The matter not having taken
that official FORM however there is no
tangible excuse for Spain to look upon
herself as humiliated in this matter.
1t is quite certain that the Administra-
tion does not take the view, as a hasty
glance at the situation would seem to in
dicate, that there may not be peaceful
termination of this last incident, and
such officers of the Cabinet as have felt
free to discuss the situation at all have
not hesitated to declare that no rupture

AMMUNITION FOB OUR
FLEET.

KEY WEST. Fla, March T. 1S9S.-The
Mallory Line steamer Alamo arrived here
this morning from New York with a cargo
of ammunition for the United States fleet,
a greater part of which is intended for
the cruiser Cincinnati. The cruiser Mont
gomery will take the ammunition to the
Cincinnati.
The Alamo went alongside the Mont
gomeryi and transferred $4,000 tons of
ammunition to that cruiser.
Later in the day the Alamo left
for the Tortugas Islands, where she will
transfer the rest of her cargo of am
there.
There were no movements among the
vessels of the fleet this morning..
The Coast Survey steamer Bache has
arrived from Havana, having ON board
the remains of six more victims of the
disaster to the Maine. They were buried
the first body was buried on Thursday
last, and the funeral procession was also
in the same order.
There was no demonstration at the fu-
neral, and at the cemetery about 400 per-
sons witnessed the interment.
One OF the bodies buried today is sup
posed to be that of Robert White, a mess
attendant, and another is supposed to
be that of g sergeant of marines, but it
was not fully identified. Two bodies were
put in one coffin.
One heafSe and four ordinary wagons,
covered with the Stars and Stripes, were
used to convey the remains to the ceme-
terry where Chaplain Royce of the cruiser
New York read the burial service
Commander Nc Gala and gun division
from the United States cruiser Marble

All was quiet at Havana when the
Pache left there last night. She returned
To that port without delay, in order to re-
lieve the Fern.
Orders were received here at noon to-
day resembling the Instructions given to
send the Fern to Cuba with supplies,
the cruisers Nashville and Montgomery
as the vessels to carry out that mis-
sion.
There was quite some excitement in
naval circles here over this sudden
change in the programme, as no explain
alton of the matter was obtainable.

woman that her husband had brought
her glass of beer, which she believed
