Schuyler; or failing that, to re- ceive such suggestions as may enable the carrying out of the plans SO vital to the continued prosperity of our mountain city. The fact is, Prescott is outgrowing present local conditions entirely, and the development of the mining country t. ibutary to the town is forcing the need of better facilities for taking care of it's wants in a very emphatic way
 Socially, in Prescott, they are still keeping Lent. The interest in the late millinery openings at Goldwater's and Blumberg's establishments, however. evidences a readiness to take np gaieties again. Both these events seem to have attracted a good deaI of attention from the gentler sex, ant l am told the exhibition of artisti, skill and good taste would have don, credit to larger places than Prescott l think there can be no question tha such successful exhibits are a most fattering comment on our good so- ciety.

sTENoGRAPHER HuLsE TALKS
Cost of the Mine Which Blew Up the
 Maine

Washington, April 4.-Mr John ". Hulse, who was the official stenOg- rapher of the naval court of inquiry into the loss of the Maine, in converse tion this afternoon, made several statements of decided interest. In view of the fact that not only the re- port of the court of inquiry has been made public, but the testimony as we'll, MT. Hulse believes there is no reason why he is not now entitled to express his views on the matter.
 In the opinion of Mr. Hulse the Maine was blown up by Spanish off cials. MT. Hulse's conclusions are based on the testimony which he fe- corded stenographically, and from his conversation with naval officers and others while at Havana and Key West. He takes the stand that a mine of the size used in blowing up the battleship cost a large sum of money, a larger sum, in fact, than any private indi- vidual or individuals would be likely to expend for such a purpose.
 From MT. Hulse's words the inti- nation may be drawn that similar views are entertained by all the off, cers and men who were connected with the Maine.

New York, April 1.-The American Bishop Hartzell of Africa, who ar rived today on the Teutonic, brought reports of the situation in Liberia that may lead to important complications between this country and the powers of Europe. He says German gunboat came to Monrovia recently and de- handed the payment of s13,000 in forty-eight hours, indemnity claimed for some attack on a German subject. President Coleman. with the help of other officials, secured stay, but it was due to a proposition from the German consul there to call the debt cancelled if Liberia would consent tc German protectorate over Liberia. President Coleman absolutely re fused to sign such a treaty and urged the bishop, as his personal represent
 ative, to visit London and Washington | to secure the intervention of England and the United States in this proposed ] German grab.

HOUSE DEMONSTRATION.
Sentiment by the American People in Miniature

Washington, April Awhile there was no attempt to force consideration of the resolution regarding the Cuban situation in the house, there was a brief outbreak in the course of which the warlike temper of the crowded galleries was so manifest that the speaker threatened to clear them if it was repeated. The outbreak occurred over bill to authorize the president to erect temporary Notifications in case of emergency upon land when the writ ten consent of the owners was ob- tained without awaiting the long pro- cess of legal condemnation.
 This led to demand by MT. Bailey, democratic leader, for information as to the facts which warranted all the war measures. The particular state ment which aroused the galleries was to the effect that while the democrats were willing to wait any reasonable time for the president to transmit a message that would meet the approval of the American people, they would not wait a minute for him to continue negotiations with the butchers of Spain. When the demonstration in the galleries were rebuked by the speaker, MT. Bailey declared that the galleries were the American people in miniature.
 MT. Cannon acc Used MT. Bailey of l ''posturing" and playing to the galler- ies. The bill was passed and it was ar- ranged that the army reorganization bill should be taken up on Wednesday unless a report was made from the ! committee on foreign affairs. The re- mainder of the day passed without in- cident in the transaction of District of Columbia business.
