An Arizona Boy.

The following personal mention of Mir. Harry Tritle is from the Phoenix Gazette. The writer is glad that Harry is thus making his mark early in life. He will be heard from before many years:
 During the absence of Territorial Secretary Charles H. Akers in the east for the next thirty days his assistant, Nr. Harry Tritle, will attend to the duties of the office. MT. Akers has full confidence in the ability and competency of Mr. Tritle. which opinion is shared by the various members of the territorial administration.
 Assistant Secretary Tritle is an Arizona pro- duct as itwere. He grew to manhood among the hills ana wales surrounding Prescott where he also received his education and where his parents and other friends reside. His career in Phoenix has been of nature to commend him 10 the good opinion of the people. Attentive to business, careful, competent and gentlemanly. courteous to all. he is laying the foundations for a useful, honorable career in public life

DEMANDED A PARDON.
IgnaciO GallegO Refuses to Tes-
 tify m Court.
1Star.1


 There was something of a sensation in the Territorial court Vesterday, dur ing the trial of Miguel Roca, for grand larceny.
 One of the witnesses subpoenaed by the Territory is Ignacio Gallego.
 GalIego and Roca were Both indicted by former grand jury for burglary with intent to commit larceny.
 Gallego was convicted, but the jury found Roca not guilty.
 By the recent grand jury Roca was indicted for grand larceny. and Gallego was brought from the territorial prison at Yuma to testify.
 He was put on the stand at 3.30 yes terday afternoon, and Clerk Hoover arose to administer the oath. But Gal lego kept his seat. The court instruct ed the witness to be sworn, wnereupon GaIlego said, in substance:
 "I am convict. My word is not good. You give me my papers, restor- ing me to citizenship, then I testify. Now my word is not good if do be sworn. for I am a convict"
 This of course put the court in the five hole. Gallego was asked if be un- derstood that he would be in contempt of court if he refused to testify, and he replied that he understood, but that he was convict anyway. and if he could not be pardoned then he wanted to get back to work on the canal at Yuma as soon as possible.
 And neither cnaxing nor threats would induce lgnacio to be sworn. He evidently knew, somehow, that con. tempt of court wouldn't bother hlm. for all court can do is to send the person guilty of contempt to jaiI until he gives in and agrees to testify, or until the cause at issue is disposed of one way or another. In this case Gallego is already in jail, and will remain there until long after the Roca case is disposed of, SO that even Judge Davis could do nothing but remand the witness to the custody of the sheriff.
 The incident was the first of the kind that has ever occurred here, and it pro- duced small sensation in the court house.

EnlisfinE Artillery NIeR.

The recruiting officers of the army report satisfactory progress in the mat ter of enlistments for the two new reg iments of artillery just organized by virtue of an act of Congress. Enlist ments have been made at an average of thirty-one men per day, or at the rate of $50 month. During the past five days the average has been raised to thirty-seven enlistments 8 day. In consequence of this rapid enlistment, Maj. Gen. Miles has issued an order to discontinue the plan of transferring men from the old regiments to help fill up the two new ones, as was originally contemplated, and it is believed the army will reach it's full legal quota within very short time.

The Logic of War.
Boston Post.

Boston Post.
 Whatever may be said about the Cuban situation. this is clear. that the first gun ofwar fired in warfare between the United States and Spain will pro- clam the inevitable loss of Cuba to the nation, which now holds nominal soy. ereignty over that island. There can be no other result to such hostilities. It would not matter in this respect whether the war grew out of the Maine disaster or recognition of Cuban inde- peDdence, or actual intervention. The shock would cause Cuba to drop out of the hands of Spain.
