PRESS TEXT.
The newspa Ders here are using. the
assertion that the Spanish auxiliary
Montserlat ",h. ice ran the blockade of
the Cuban coast as text, the arti-
cies claiming to p3int out that the bloc

and the United States to the significant
speech recently made at Birmingham

secretary of state for the colonies The

speech has been available, corresponds
to the utterance of Prince Bismarck
on the subject, telegraphed to the AS
ISOLATED Press on Wednesday last.

relations are doubtless feasible. but
an alliance is improbable and unserv

maintain her interests by carefully
nursing the good neighborsnip OF the

{, PARIS, May 22-The Figaro publish
es the important announcement that
the delicate Niger question, which
threatened to lead to an Anglo-Franco
war, has been settled, and that an
agreement between TIL. two govern
ments Will be signed this week by the
French foreign office.
The agreement will be satisfactory
to both nations. 1t involves mutual
concessions, the chief being that the
town of Boussa, which the French oc-
cupied, but which England claimed by
earlier treaties, would be given to Eng
land, while France will retain Nikki
and two towns on the middle Niger.
The line of demarkation starts from
lilo, on the Niger, and runs southwest,
leaving Nikki inside the French sphere.
The importance of Boussa lies in the
fact that it Is the highest town to
which the Niger is navigable.

ABORIGINAL ANTIQUITIES.

The archaeological section of the mu-
scum of the university has received
from DR.. H W. Fenner a remarkable
specimen of stone implement weigh
ing some twenty pounds and shaped
ike a shield. 1t is d ovidal mass,
measuring about twelve inches by
eleven, and about three thick. A pro-
lection on each edge at the top, form
ed by cutting deep but curved recesses
in the edges of the stone, indicate that
this stone was intended be lifted by
both hands and to be used as a maui
or peStle, probably for crushing grain
or grass seed, or that by means Of
these projections, it could be securely
lashed for transportation from one
camp to another, or to the end of a
beam, so as to permit the stone to be
used like a trip-hammer. 1t bears
evidences of having been used for
pounding, for some fragments have
been split off from the lower edge. In
any case, it is unique in form, nothing
like it having been seen by Prof. Blake
in the large collections of Indian relics
at our Nations museum or elsewhere.
1t was found in digging for the foun-
dationS of DR.. Fenner's house at the
corner of Pennington street and Stone
avenue, and is good evidence of Abo-
riginal occupation of that ground be-
fore the settlement of TucSon.-Cid-

THE CATTLE SITUATION.

''The situation in the cattle market
seems to be somewhat like this says
the National Provisioner: "Desira-
Bile cattle are scarce. Prices have
been good for some time and attic
men have been sending all their avail
able stock to market. Ready money
has been in demand and but few
choice calves have been raised. In
consequence of this young beeves are
particularly hard TO get. 1t seems
reasonable to expect that the good
prices that now obtain will hold good
for some time. Many cattle men
think, and it is believed there are
good reasons for their doing so, that
there will be an unusually good de-
mand from Europe from American
beeves this year. The cattle countries
of the far east are short of desirable
stock and Europe must depend largely
upon this country for its fresh meat.
The demand will probably exceed the
supply, under present conditions, and
in that event prices will, of course, go
higher. Altogether, the outlook for
the cattle business Is very favorable"

In looking over the county ticket
nominated by the republicans of Gila
county is was noticed that the conven-
ton saw fit to select Mr.. Frank Alley
to make the race for District Attorney.
Mr. Alley is an old Phoenician and a
man of more than ordinary ability. He
is philosophical sort of d man whose
home has been in the west for great
many years and who has the happy
faculty of taking things as they come
meantime making a friend of everyone
who is thrown in contact with him. If
Mr. Alley should be defeated he is not
the kind of man that SourS on the
world because it does not think as he
does. On the other hand this very
quality is one among many that should
and we believe will aid him in his can
vass and result in his election. With
indomftable energy, shrwed perception
4 good legal education, a wholesouled
disposition and an integrity of purpose
he should fairly slide into office in the
little county set in the hills.

A CONSULAR VIEW OF THE CA
RACAS WAREHOUSE.

This warehouse is one of the most
important undertakings in the line of
practical commercial work in which
the National Association has engaged,
and the results that have thus far
been obtained are in themselves a full
justification of the judgment which
decided the undertaking of this enter
prise. There is probably nothing that
could have been done in Venezuela
which would have given to the mer.
chants of that country so much inter
est in American goods as has been
created by the establishment of this
warehouse in Caracas. The business
men of South America have seen many
schemes which have been designed to
increase their interest in American
goods, but which have been either i'll
advised or poorly supported and have
come to an early failure, thereby ere
ating very unfavorable ideas of the
manufacturers of the United States.
Discredit has been brought upon the
United States in innumerable in
stances by visionary schemefs and ir-
promoters, who have
sought to realize quick profits without
regard to the interests of buyers or
sellers.
The Caracas warehouse has been es-
tablished and maintained from the
very beginning upon a strictly business |
basis and with just as much regard |
for the confidence and goodwill of the |
buyer as for the interest of the seller. |
Being wholly under the control and di- |
rection of the National Association of
cturers. it has been regarded |
IS public enterprise and its standing
md influence have thereby been great
Y increased. 1t has quickly gained
he confidence of business men in Ven
azuela and is regarded by them in the
most favora BILE manner. 1t is visited
laily by number of buyers, many of
whom come from distant parts of the
seeking for information about
goods which they want to buy and
which they wish TO purchase in the
United States if possible. There is no
lgency that can do so much toward
he introduction of American goods in
o Venezuela in so short a time and at
% little cost There are hundreds of
aembers of the National association of
manufacturers whose goods would sell
louSe, and the small cost of placing
amples on exhibition there would be
bundantlv repaid by the orders re-
ulting therefrom.

Democrats have adopted the tactics
now of trying to belittle the late war.
OH they say, sit was only ten cent
affair; only boys play" This for the
purpose of discrediting the bravery
and Valor of the courageous and patri-
otic men who took part in it and par
ticularly those who have been nominal
ed on the republican ticket for office.
While it was not of any Drotracted
dura ton, the scenes around La Quis-
ina, FL Caney, San Juan hill and San
riago were anything but boys play, as
the mounds of earth covering the re.
mains of the brave and patriotic men
WHO responded to their country's call
will attest The thousands of sick and
wounded soldiers who participated in
those events will emphatically aver
that there was no boys play about that
fierce and decisive campaign. Efforts
10 belittle it will only have the effect
of strengthening the support of those
who took part in that campaign.-Pres

The admission of Arizona td>
hood has been a consummaticl!
voutly wished by the people of that
Territory for number of years.
One insurmountable obstacle here
tofore has been the prejudice of east

of their belief that, politically, the

compared to the element comprising
The majority of its population.
Since 1896, Arizona has made rapid
growth in population and material de-
velopment of its many industries.
The influx of people has been de-
sirable class. Capital has poured in
to the Territory and has been ex-
pended in mining operations and
building up such cities as Phoenix,
Prescott and Yuma.
Now that the sentiment of large
number of the population favor the
administration and there is a likeli-
hood that a Republican ticket may be
elected this fall, the chances of State
hood seem brighter.
Should Arizonans elect a Republi-
can ticket this fall or even a majority

in Oregon or Washington nearly twice
the distance for $1465 the regular rate
from Kansas City being but $4,000 and
further that there were more inquiries
regarding rates to the Salt River val
ley than to any point in the west. This
would indicate two things. First that
Phoenix and the valley is being fav-
orably considered throughout the east
by those contemplating a change but
that immigration is being held back
by the great expense of getting here.
Secondly that the railroads are trying
to boom the northern country at the
expense of Arizona. Not owning any
railroads we are incompetent to judge
of what a ticket should be worth from
one point to another but certain it is
that one ought to be able to travel 1900
miles as cheaply as they could 25O0
miles. Phoenix has no desire to die
tate 70 the railroads the price of thei--
services but she does want a fair shOr
with the rest of the world. Once that
is obtained we will do the rest. There
mupst be some consideration outside
the ticket sales that prompts such fav-
1ritism and it not only behooves our
business men but our local railroads |
who depend on the Territory for sup |
BORT to register good strong kick.

That part of Cuba already under the
dominion of the United States is to
have a rural police force organized on
the plan of the famous rurales of Mex
leo. General Wood has. shown most
excellent judgment in proposing such
a Plan for the policing of the rural
districts of Cuba. Americans who
have travelled in Mexico bear witness
to the great efficiency of the rurales.
President Diaz in organizing such a
force showed marvellous wisdom and
foresight. Brigandage has disappear
ed from the mountain districts of our
sister republic and no better system of
rural policing is seen in the world to
day than in Mexico. Cuba being a
rough and mountainous country just
such a body of men is needed, par
ticularly now after the close of long
years of strife. The rurales of Cuba
will ensure protection of life and pro-
perty and their influence for good or
der Will be incalcuIable.
