ought to be good for some time yet No, Pm not; my race is about run; my strength is gone and I won't last much longer,' he said sententiously. This set me thinking and it suddenly occurred to me that it would be thirty three years the ninth of next month since Lee surrendered. That's long time ago. Why, just think of it, boys born ten years after the war ended were old enough to vote at the last presidential election. The old boys are breaking fast, but many Of them are full of martial ardor yet, and moro than one announced his willingness to again shoulder musket against Spain if Uncle Sam would only give the op- portunity. But the ranks are thin ming and the boys are answering here on the other side at pretty lively rate"

also deluged with dispatches asking him to favor the bill. These re- quests, coupled with wise action here by the friends of the bill, resulted to- day in it's becoming a law by the ac- tion of the president in signing it.
 It is one of the best laws for Arizona that has been enacted for years. One of the chief objections to the reten- tion of Fort Whipple has been the fact that the water and sewerage at the post are very bad. The people of Prescott promised to supply adequate systems if the post should not be abandoned Sufficient influence has been brought here, it is believed, to se- cure the rebuilding of the post. Of course the success of the water and sewerage bill adds to the likelihood of the post being retained. Under the provisions of the bill Phoenix or other towns that may desire to build sewers or pavements or make other sanitary improvements may do so without fear of the Harrison act.

 JUDGE STREETS CASE.
 Judge Streets chances of confirma- tion grow brighter every day. The enemies of the judge have made their last play, and it is regarded as certain that they will fail. Throughout this struggle the judge has maintained a difnified attitude. It will be sur prising if his appointment is rot con- firmed in a few days.

THE WALLS OF 1TAL1cA FOUND
Built By Scipio Africanus Opposite the
 Present City of Seville.


 Madrid, March 1.-The finds of old gold and silver coins at Sant ponce, near Seville, have brought many anti quarlans to the spot. The eXcava- tions have been continued with great zeal, and among the latest finds are a Roman marble statue in complete preservation, an amphora and some fine mosaics.
 But more interesting still is the To- cation of the walls of ancient Italica, portion of which has been laid bare. Iney were made of roughly formed stone and mortar without battlements, l.but truncated square tower in a per feet state of preservation is the latest discovery.

FIRED THREE SHOTS AT HIS SON
Aged John Wagonhoffer's Way O
 Furnishing His Son for Intoxication.

Furnishing His Son for Intoxication.
 Nyack, N Y, March 4.-Peter Wag- onhoffer, about 40 years of age, was shot three times by his father, John Wagonhoffer, yesterday morning, at Rockland Lake. John Wagonhoffer and his wife are old residents of Rock land Lake, and their son Peter has been away for a year. The old man is 7S years old Yesterday morning at about Il o'clock Peter came to the house under the influence of liquor Els father would not admit him. Later he went to his father, who was then in the yard, and greeted him with Good morning, father" The old man was enraged over his sons condition, and after some words had passed be- tween them John picked up a crowbar with which to inf1ict punishment upon his son. He could do nothing with his father then called to his wife to bring his revolver. His command was obeyed, and the old man, 1evelling the weapon at Peter, fired three shots, all of which took effect. Two of the bull lets entered his right shoulder, and the other one went into the left shoulder.
 Dr. J. o. Polhemus of Nyack hap pened to be passing at the time and was called. Peter left the premises and went to the house of his sister, Mrs. Charles Atchison, where the doc tor made an examination. He then sent for Dr. Kline, who soon drove over with the necessary instruments. The doctors probed for the bullets and were successful in locating and re- moving all three. It is believed today that the wounded man will get well, as he has strong constitution. His father is in the county jail.

An Effort Made by the Navy Depart ment to Learn the Time of the End of the Investix alton is Un- successful.

Washington, March 4.-There is no prospect of learning when the report of the court of inquiry in the case of the Maine disaster is to be made: that is, if the court itself is competent to pass an opinion on that point. A telegram has been sent Captain Sampson asking when it is expected that a report can be made So far there has been no response, and it may be that the president of the court wishes to counsel first with his col leagues before delivering a response. The fact that this inquiry had been addressed to the court by. Secretary Long at the instance of the cabinet is regarded as proof of the correct ness of the statement that has been made almost daily for several days by members of the administration, that it had no control over the court and did not know when the report would come.
 It was said at the navy department at the close of office hours today that no word had come from Key West or Havana save brief dispatches of the past two days relative to the disposi- tion of the wounded men and dead bodies. It is probable that the Olym- pia, the flagship of the Asiatic squad ron, and the peerless queen of cruis- CTS, will come home to San Francisco The navigation bureau has this move ment under consideration and in view of the fact that the ship has been three years away from the navy yard engaged in hard cruising service, even if there were no other reason, iU is likely that the order will be given. The naval officers are deeply inter- ested in reports of the purchase of warships by Spain, and make the re- ports of these transactions the text for the complaints of the inability of
 However, as to the report from Lon don today of the purchase of the Anna zonas by Spain, it is said at the de- partment that this vessel sailed for Brazil several months ago and has been delivered to the Brazilian gov ernment. Her sister ship is near completion in the Armstrong yards. They are useful cruisers, copies of the Barossa, now of the Brazilian navy, and their strong point is their great radius of action, 5000 miles, which would enable them to cross the At lantic and recross without renewing their coal supply.
 Two other ships are building for Brazil in France, which are also re- ported to be about to pass into Spain s possession. They are presumed to be the Deadoro and Floriona, which are building at La Sienne, Toulon. These are small, but powerful little battle ships. Their tonnage is only 3,162, but they carry four 1O-inch rifles in turrets in addition to two 6-inch and four 10-inch guns and four 4.1O-inch guns and a good secondary battery Their coal endurance, however, is small and their fortes would seem to be coast defense operations or cruising near the base of supplies.

THIS MAN IS IN CONGRESS
McCleary of Minnesota Says Spain Had Right to Desroy the Maine.

Washington, March 4.-During all the discussion in and out of congress as to the cause of the disaster to the Maine, only one man has been found so far who thinks Spain would have been justified in blowing up the Maine. This man is representative McCleary of Minnesota, an intelligent and able man, who was very conspicuous leader of the gold men Of the north west in the presidential campaign and in the session of congress preceding it.
 He says that as the Maine entered

The Homestead and Railrord
 Right of Way Measure
EASILY PASSES THE SENATE
Century Old Controversy May
 Now be settled
Two More Appropriation Bills Sent to the President and the House Finds 1t can Afford to Take a Day Off,

Washington, March 4.-After a de- bate lasting several days the senate late this afternoon passed the bill ex- tending the homestead law and provid- ing for the right of way for railroads in the district of Alaska. Compara- lively little discussion of general in terest was created by the bill.
 Section 13, providing for certain bonding concessions to the Canadians in lieu of privileges to be extended by the Dominion government to this coun- try, however, induced rather lively debate, as it brought into the contro- versy the old fisheries question on the New England coast, which has been pending between the United States and Great Britain for hundred years.
 A statement was made on the floor of the senate that there was every reason to believe that by the passage of the bill the fisheries question could be settled without great effort, as as- surances to that effect had been re ceived from a large and influential element in Canada.
 TWO BILLS OUT OF THE WAY.
 Washington, March 1.-Two more appropriation bills were sent to the president today, the pension bill and the consular and diplomatic bill, both of which went through their final stage in the house today. This was private bill day.
 The most important action taken was the acquiescence in an agreement to make the bill appropriating about S1, 200, ,000 for war claims approved by the court of claims under the provis- ions of the Bowman act, special Or der for next Friday. The claims car ried by the bill, 73O in number, are for stores and supplies seized during the war in southern states. Only two bills were passed today. The house adjourned over until Monday.

A MEASUREMENT OF TIME.
Its Rapidity of Flight Indicated by
 Quarterly Pension Days.

Anything new today, MT. Gil,?' was the stereotyped query to the clerk of the district court yesterday.
 No, we haven't anything here to- day that you want" was the reply. ''Yes, there is something, too, that might be worth mentioning, and that is the fact that this was our big pen sion day. Pensioners who draw their vouchers through the San Francisco agency came in to have their vouchers executed today and for the convent ence of the office and as a matter of record I concluded several days ago to keep a roster of all pensioners who had vouchers executed here The great mass of the pensioners have their vouchers executed in this office for the reason that rension papers are the one thing a man can have exc cuted in this office without money and without price. I never in my life, either as clerk or as a notary public, charged a man any fee on a pension paper, and I never will. From the number today would estimate that no less than 125 pensioners live in Phoe- nix. Of course the quarters when the San Francisco vouchers are presect are our biggest days, but there are a their vouchers from the agencies at Topeka, Indianapolis, Milwaukee Columbus, Detroit, Chicago and louis ville
 What suggested the idea of keeping a roster of the men who come here to have their pension vouchers executed was the death of a veteran a short time ago who was not member of the Grand Army post. Some of the mans friends asked the pest to allow the remains to be buried in the post cemetery, which the post of course was willing to grant provided it could be shown that the man had been sol dier While there were several who knew that he had been in the service, yet no one knew what company or regiment the man had served in. It occurred to me then that it would be a good idea to have a roster of all sol diers living in the valley, as near as it could be obtained, and so started it by keeping the names of all pensioners, together with record of their service.
 'I tell you the great lapse of time since the war closed was never before so impressed upon my mind as it was today. Several of the old boys exc cuted probably their last voucher. One man said to me, This is about the last time I will trouble you oh, no, I hope not was my reply. You

CONTRACT IS VOID.
Massachusetts Supreme Cou Holds
 Margin Buying Illegal.

Boston, Mass, March 1.-The full bench of the supreme court today over ruled the plaintiffs excep ions in the case of John P. Wakefield vs. Albert H. Farnum ct al, stock brokers.
 The action was brought to recover s2,305, being the profits which he real ized in the fictitious purchase and sale of wheat of the defendants on margin. The defendant claimed he could not recover because the transactions were illegal.

BUILDING OF THE CAPITOL.
Things That Must Be Done Before
 Actual Construction Commences!

The territory vii, lose no time in availing itself of the provisions of the capitol building bill, to which President Mckinley put the finishing touch yesterday Within half an hour
 after the receipt of the first telegram
 announcing the signature of the bill
 it was known all over town and word
 was soon spread abroad that the con-
 struction of the building might be be-
 gun at any time. As a matter of fact
 actual building may be begun at the
 end of three months and the work will
 certainly be delayed not much longer.-
 The first thing to be done will be to
 advertise for bids for the bonds. The bonds could no doubt be sold within
 a week, but thelaw requires that there
 must be an advertisement of thirty days. As soon IS the territory has , realized on the bonds there must be an
 advertisement of thirty days for
 plans. When plans have been accept ed building contracts may be awarded ! after thirty days advertising, and construction may be begun immedi-
 ately.
 Territorial Treasurer Johnstone said 1 last night that he would probably ad- vertise the sale of the bonds next Monday. He received a telegram from Governor McCord last night which he
 was directed to show to the msmbers of the capitol site commission, re-
 quest:ng them to ho.d an early meet i ing.
 The capitol site, consisting of ten acres, was located just nine years ago.
 General M. B. Collins, than whom no
 one has been more intensely interested
 in the fate of the bill which has just become law, and Treasurer Johnsto-e were two of the locators Improve
 ments were begun upon it at onee and under various legislative acts were carried on until it has ben made, perhaps, the most beautiful spot in Arizona. But notwi hsta ding the
 location and the imDrC vaments thera have been four biennial struggles on the part of the friends Of the site to keep it there and at the beginning of each session of the legislature they were without absolute assurance that it would not be moved But now it is fixed.
 Speaking of the benefits which | would accrue from the passage
 of the bill, Gen eral Collins said yes terday: sIn the first place, $100,000
 will be turned loose among the work
 men and material men of the terri | tory So far as an increase in the | value of west end property is con- cerned I do not think it will be i'm mediate, and when it comes 1t will not be disedvantageous to other sc 1; tions of the city. The new capitol tbuilding will be eventua- ly the nucleus of a greater settlement in that part | of town, just as the Five Points, on
 smaller scale, became the nucleus of
 what was at first an isolated settle
 ment, but which has since become closely joined to Phoenix.
 Residences of officials will certainly
 grow up about the capitol aud it is all
 most as certain that a hotel will fol-
 low Other buildings will cone in ! their wake and though I do not say or | think .he town is going to grow in 1 that direction, all the region between
 the capitol site and the thickly settled
 district of Phoenix will grow up solid"
