such widespread and intense interest
No message was ever listened to with
more close attention by both galleries
and members at both ends Of the Cap
itol. That it did not create profound
enthusiasm may have been due to the
fact that it's main features
Had Been Accurately Forecast
or to Disappointment among those
who wanted Cuban Independence and
immediate reprisal upon Spain for the
destruction Of the Maine. For long
time large majority in both houses
has favored recognition Of tho inde-
,pendence Of Cuba; for more than two
years, as voiced in resolutions passed
BY congress. the recognition Of belliger-
ency has been sought. Both OF these
proportions were antagonized in the
message and consequently, in this re-.
gard, the message did not accord with
the majority sentiment. The message
left congress very much at sea. because
the disparagement in views between it
and the executive are obstacles hard to
surmount, unless, 40 now seems possl'
BILE, congress sees its course to act in
accord with the presidents recol,a-
mendation.
sslisn4 Points Of the Message.
In his message to congress the
president strongly opposes recognition
of belligerency % inexpedient. He
also opposes the recognition q
the independence Of Cuba ct this
time, but favors the granting Of
authority Tor such use Of the armed
forces Of the United States as he may

preparation to be nsed for the relief OF

DEATH or MODESTO Bo2QUEZ. JR

No death that has occurred in Globe for some time caused more widespread regret than that of Modesto Borquez, Jr., which occurred at half past five o'clock on Tuesday morning. His health had been faillDg for more than year, and lat,erly he suffered from occasional hemorrhnges with loss of blood which left him prostrated. The last attack was on Sunday morning, from which he failed to rally, although conscious till death came as bar bingsr of mercy to relieve his sufierings.
 Deceased vas a native uf Rermnsi'lo, Mexico, and 29 years of age. He lad been resident of Globe and engaged in business with his father. for the past eight years, and bore the repnta- ton of sD excellent citizen, of gener- ous impulses, estetme Ey sll who knew him. His aged parents sId other members of the family, and es- pecially the stricken wife, are inconso- lable over bis uutimely death. He was married ohly last July to Hiss Mercedes Mason, of Los Angeles, daughter of the late Aaron Mason, at one time superintendent of the Silver King mine.

Faull thinks it would De we'll for in- tending purchasers sf mines in the strip to make inquiry of some of the old timers before buying mining claims located or relocated since the treaty with the Indians in February 1896. as many of the locations msde since that time are ou old locators' ground whose rights are protected for 90 days after Nov. l9, 1893, the date when the strip was officially declared open.

A FATAL AFFRAY.

A deplorsble shooting affray occur rcd yesterday morning about . qus' ter past one o'clock which resulted in the death of Charles Cadotte tt the hands of Charles B. Edwards, as charged It appears that n serions nisunderstand- ing between the two men had existed for a long time, but it was uot sntici- pated that the trouble would terminate Tn personal aud deadly conflict. Ou Tuesday Chas. Cadotte took the place, us night wstchmsn, of James Blankensbip, who was sick Edwards and Milton Brswley, man of uDsav- ory reputation were together during the evening, drinking and playing cards in the saloons. Shoitly before one o'clock they were eating at tho unch wagon stsbding in front of the KloDdike, when Edwards recognized the voice of Cadutte who was standing nearby talking to an acquaintance. Edwards said to Brswley, "There's the man had trouble with aud he has 6 star on and may try to do me up," or words to that effect.
 Edwards und Brawley according to the latter's story, then went to sa- loon n little farther up where Edwards borrowed pistol, which when he found it had only one load in it, re- turned it and borrowed one from an- other man In the same saloon. The two men then proceeded down Broad street, and crossed the bridge, when Edwards recognized Cadotte standing in the street near Van Wagenen's porch. Brnwley says Edwards accosted Cadotte who replied, and the two men cliuched and in few moments the shooting commenced.
 Cadotte was shot twlce; one ball en. tered the left breast between the nip pie and shoulder and, as the au- topsy revealed, passed through the left lung and the heart, broke rib on the right side of the spine and lodged un- der the skin, where it was found and extracted by Dr B. G. Fo1. The sec ond shot struck Gadotte between the shoulders at the base of the neck and came out in front, tearing . hole in the throat two inches wide. This WAS probably the second wousd he receiv- ed, while he lay prone on his face, the impact with the ground tearing the throat.
 Brawley was accidentally ehot in tbe groin by . bullet from Edwards pistol, which struck the pubic bone. fell to the ground and was afterwards recovered.
 Csdotte had 3S caliber pistol in his pocket which had not been fired. Ed wards was arrested by Sheriff William son soon after tile shooting and is in jail awaiting examination.
 Brawley's wound is not so serious ss at first supposed and he will probably recover. His statement of the shoot ing made under oath in the presence of witnesses, was taken by Acting Coro- ner Temple. The corouer's jury viewed the body of Cadotte this morn ing. and will hear test'mony tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock.
 CLas. Cadutte was a quiet man, not inclined to be quarrelsome. He had lived here for number of years and was formerly resident of Florence. His brother Eugene Csdotts is expect ed to arrive from Jerome tomorrow.
