AN M. & D. CHANGE.
Ii is Reported That One Crew is to
 Se Laid Off.

The Maricopa X Phoenix train en- Dloyes are greatly disturbed over the rumor that there will be a sweeping change made in their ranks. It is said that one crew will make both the Maricopa and Mesa runs, thus do- ing away with one entire crew: and that the conductor will also attend to 5he station at Mesa while the train is there, and during his absence it will go it alone.
 These changes, it is said, were ali gone over with Superintendent Porter during his stay in San Francisco, and that President N. K Masten figured out clear saving of S2,5OO a year by the change. This money will, how ever be devoted to making repairs in the roadbed so that trains may be run at higher rate of speed than at present.

Value of the Philippines.

There l. every reason To believe that
Spain did not fully appreciate the import
auce II the Philippine Islands until after
the battle Of Manila. She sees now that
they were of greater value to her than
Cuba and Porto Rico combined. They are
distant from her. and have cost her lot
of money. hut in the light of recent de
yel0pments in that part of the world they
are a great possession.
Spain may not promise herself anything
in the western hemisphere If Cuba ard
Porto Rico were still in her undis-
puted possession she could not use them
to advance her interests over here. There
is nothing for her On this side at all.
Whatever the future may hold of value
for her she must find in The eastern hem
isphere. where she belongs.
Affairs in the far east are on a boom.
The great powers are seeking new foot
holds tn re. and the Philippines are near
the theater Of greatest activity. Spain
herself Is not an actor in the drama, nor
Is she likely to be. She is no competitor
tor business with Russia or Germany or
France. But if in position to yield favors
IN that quarter she might hope to secure
such recognition rs would serve her else
where. Although SO sadly in need of
friends noW. she has none, and partly be-
cause It has been to nobodys interests
hitherto to cultivate her. With the Philip
pines in her hands again she would doubt
less know TOW to use them as the basis
for effectirg some serviceabIe European
alliance.
The United States has by no means fixed
upon its policy with respect to the islands.
The Dewey victory has opened up most
allurns prospect to the people of this
country The topic is one of very great and
very general interest. 1t is already under
informal discussion. The opening of the
fall campaign will bring it under formal
discussion. The sense of the people on
the subject will in several ways be taken.
The United States will dominate the set
tlement of the question. and without re-

A pathetic Police Court incident yester-

vigorously. y mother appeared and asked
to have her small children taken from her

enlisted in a Maryland regiment ard had

discouraged. There is no such need for the
service of soldiers in the volunteer army at
