THE JOURNEY TO SONORA
Return of Governor MCCOrd
 and His Staff Yesterday
They Brought Back With Them a Keen Appreciation of Mex can kind.iness and Hospitality and Pro2reSsiVneSS.

K Governor and Mrs. McCord. Mrs. W. S. Gilbert, Attorney-General Frazier and wife, Surgeon-General and Mrs. Winifred Wylie, General R. Allyn Lewis, Col. P. P. Parker and Captain J. A. Baldwin returned yesterday from a journey of nearly a week through Sonora They brought back with them a higher appreciation of the Mexican people, which they began to gain when they met Governor Ramon Corral and his staff at Nogales last Tuesday, The details of that meet ing have already been published, the exchange of cOurtesies by the two gov ernors and the civic demonstration at the Line city, participated in by even the school children. The town was glare of red, white and blue mingled with the national colors of Mexico in which the yellow predominated and over which scared the Mexican eagle. The crowning event of the demonstla- tion of Tuesday was the banquet at night at the Montezuma hotel. The banquet room within and without was tastefully decorated with the colors of the two republics. The banquet, as all banquets are, was followed by toasts, to the principal of which, "The Friendly Relations Existing Between the Two Republics and the Best Way to Maintain Them" response was made by Governor McCord.
 The governor said:
 MT. Postmaster and Gentlemen: It affords me much pleasure to meet the governor of Sonora and some of his official family and it also affords me pleasure to have some of my off, cial family, especially those who have to do with the military part of our territorial government, meet those who have similar duties to perform in the state of Sonora.
 The toast given out for me to re- spond to involves broad and com prehensive subject. It can hardly be expected that justice can be done to such a subject in the brief time that can be allotted upon such an occas- ion as this, but out of the fullness of the heart the mouth speaketh."
 The people of Mexico who live near the border of the republic have much in common with the people of Arizona and their interests are in many ways identical It is therefore beneficial to both that they should become ac- quainted aH6 should also be friends For nearly half a century the people -ef xhe~<wo republics have been living on terms of amity; so friendly indeed have they been that there has hardly been a time during those fifty years that there has been even a strained re- 1ation between them. It is hoped this

 to see the same thing done not only in
 Mexico but everywhere throughout Christendom."
 Governor Corral also responded in an
 eloquent address in Spanish. "The
 President of the United States" was the subject of a spirited speech by Col. Willis P. Harlow, and Senor Or tiz, secretary of the state of Sonora. responded to the toast, President Diaz. Captain J. A. Baldwin respond ed to the toast, ''The United States Army" and General R. Allyn Lewis to that of ''The National Guard"
 "The People of Nogales" was the subject of a warm address of welcome by Captain Allen T. Bird. At the close of the banquet the relations be- tween the Latin and Angio-SaXon races were never closer and within the half dozen hours more had been ac- complished for the territory of Ari- zcna and the state of Sonora than could have been accomplished in months of international negotiation. On the following morning Col. Epes Randolph, of Governor McCord's staff was obliged to return to Tucson and the other members of the party ac- cepting the proffered hospitality of Governor Corral, made preparation for a trip through his territory. Beside the Mexican governor and his staff there were four members of the So- nora legislature, and about noon of Wednesday the representatives of both republics set out for the south under a military escort from the Twelfth regiment. It was late in the after noon when the train reached Hermo- sillo. It was held there for an hour, during which the visitors were driven to various points of interest about the city, taken to the residences of Gov ernor Corral ard ex-Governor Torres, and finally entertained at the palatial rooms of the club opposite Governor Ccrrals residence.
 It was nearly midnight when the train reached Guaymas. A most elab- crate banquet had been arranged, but on account of the 1ateness of the hour it was decided to not call it a banquet and the visitors were entertained at a sumptuous lunch until 2 o'clock the next morning, after which they ra- tired
 Al lSluS early Ou lHuTSQdy morning they were driven about the city and entertained in princely style at the home of the chief merchant, the charms of whose daughter the younger mem bers of the party still remember as a pleasant dream. After the lunch they were taken about the bay on two barges drawn by a steam tug. Nine miles out the visitors were taken upon the tug, for it was growing late, the barges were turned adrift and the tug steamed toward the city, where it aF- rived shortly before 10 o'clock.
 The entertainment was closed by a visit to the opera. the performance having been postponed two hours to await the return of the party.
 Early the following morning Gov ernor McCord and his staff left for the north. The train was detained a short time at Hermosillo, during which the Arizonans were serenaded by the Twelfth regiment military band. The further homeward journey was with out incident

WOMAN'S CURIOSITY.
Girls Investigate a Trunk and Land
 Kid Hogan Behind the Bars.

Columbus, O., Feb. 19.-Woman's curiosity led to the capture of Tim othy, alias Kid" Hogan, the famous forger and mail box robber.
 Jennie and Carrie Chapman, twin daughters of the village hotel proprie- tor at Westerville, wanted to see what he kept in his trunk. They opened it and found more than 200 letters ad- dressed to different people, some of them being unopened. The girls in- formed the police of this city and Ho- gan was arrested.
 To the officers Hogan confessed that he had worked in every large city in the country, from Maine to California. Among his effects were 122 letter box keys.
 He has wife and 4-months-old baby in Chicago. About $5,000 has been of fered in rewards for Hogan by diff ferent bankers associations and this money will go to the young women who made the discovery which led to his arrest

AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL

Washington, Feb. 19.-The pastel portrait of eX-Speaker Keller, which hangs in the rear lobby of the house, with the gallery of portraits of for mer speakers, is slowly fading out. The collar in the portrait retains it's pristine whiteness, but the shirt front has turned to dull yellow. Ex- Speaker Keifer's portrait hangs on one side of the portrait of the late Judge Crisp, which now occupies the position of honor over the mantel half way across the lobby. On the other side of Judge Crisp's portrait is the portrait of MT. Blaine, which is also in pastel and a magnificent work of it's kind. It is not generally known that the DOT trait of Speaker Reed was never hung in the position of honor over the man tel referred to, as the light there was not fitting. On the other side of the square projection in the lobby, on which the present speakers portrait hangs, there is the portrait of an un- known. There are two or three eX- speakers of whom there are no DOT traits in the lobby, and no one knows the name Of this one. His dress shows that he was a statesman of the early school and that he must have flourish ed during the first years of the ra- public.
 Not many people outside of the vii cinity are familiar with the story of how David R. Paige was elected tn congress several years ago from the district in Ohio now known as the Mckinley district" said MT. Kelley H. Harwood of Cleveland, in conversation with friends yesterday at the Riggs. This district has been changed some what by gerryman 1ering since that time, but there was ordinarily a good republican majority of some 1000 votes. Paige pulled through with a majority of nineteen. His opponent was Capt. A. s. Mcclure of Wooster. Capt. Mcclure, an able young lawyer, depended too much on the natural ma jority, and did not conduct his cam paign with the same vigor shown by the democrats.
 What is now the iron ward in Cleveland was then Newburg, and in the Paige district. Here various iron manufacturing concerns gave employ ment to thousands of workmen. Paige learned that Mcclure had seldom visit ed that portion of the district and was almost totally unknown. It is said that few nights before election two strangers visited Newburg. One of them wore high silk hat and was dressed up in the very height of fash ion. Walking into the different bars and grog shops, where many of the workmen were congregated, the swell young man was introduced as Capt Mcclure" The young man would say that he wished all the men present would vote for him. The two men would then turn to the bartender and order drinks for themselves alone, leaving the thirsty crowd to look on. Two nights later Paige and several friends are said to have gone over the same route. Different tactics were employed, however, and none of the boys loafiing around the saloons went thirsty. Paige was elected, but the pseudo Capt. Mcclure was never ap- prehended."

both teams would be on their mettle by

the part of both teams, and the assem-

pointment. The Ogden team so far out
classed the Short Line boys that only by
an error were they able 10 score and one
single run only saved them from a goose

their pitcher and the Short Line boys lost
what reputation they formerly had ac-
quired as batters when they had spent
nine innings in almost fruitlesS endeavorS
to punish the ball at the expense of the
atmosphere. The Ogden team was strong
in every place, ana worked together like
a machine, a striking contrast to the
Short Line boys who fumbled badly in

posted and commanded by an able gen.
eral, in the position the Spaniards oc-
I cupied, could defeat an army of 100, 600
men, or at least hold them at bay for
months. These remarks, while SEEM
ingly extravagant, will be recognized
as correct by careful and critical ex-
animation Of the topography of the
country
One fatal mistake by the Spanish in
the use Of their artillery against the
American army in their march in this
column of twos and tours without op-
portunity to deploy, was the cutting of
the fuses Of their shrapnel shells too
long.
The Spanish having occupied that
country for many years, it necessarily
follows that they should have made
provision against an attack by a hos
tile army. The distance from Siboney,
where the American army was landed,
to Santiago being only about u miles.
great evidence of military ability has
been displayed by the Spanish in To-
eating block-houSeS at every important
military position. The bombardment
by the navy of the shore and inland
positions on the route from Siboney to
Santiago would have been thoroughly
Ineffective and waste of ammunition,
the Spanish forces simply having to
lie down close to the crest of the many
hills in that section of country. Five
or six batteries established on the diff
ferent ridges and cFeStS of hills sur
rounding the different landing points,
particularly SiboneY, would have been
sufficient to have sunk any TRANSPORT
within two miles of landing at Siboney.
1t is one of the most beautiful de-
fensive positions. from a military point
of view. l have ever seen," said the

ment of American troops whose colonel
would have permitted the landing of
even 10000 troops without defeating
them would have subjected himself to
charges of cowardice and want of mil
itary ability. 1t is simply astounding,
amazing, so to speak, that General
Linnanes should have shown such in
