Young Mems Institute.

Arrangements are almost perfected for the organization among the Cath ollie young men of Flagstaff into a council Of the Catholic Order "Young Mems Institute" l.. w. Quinlap of this place. who Is charter member of Francis J. Drexel Council No. 2l7 of Cincinnati, O., has the matter under charge, having been deputized by the supreme president Of the order at San Francisco to establish Il council in Ari- zona. This order is national among Catholics and very popular in the east. It is fraternal and social and has for it's motto, "Pro Deo, Pro Patria" for God and for Country. Catholics of this community feel highly bonored through the fact that Flagstaff will have the first council of this growing order in Arizona. The organization starts out with twenty-eight charter members, and will no doubt be one of the largest fraternal organizations here soon.

ANOTHER SHOOTING AT WILLIAMS.


 Exenerated by the Coroner's Jury.
 A fatal shooting affair took place in the Palace saloon in Williams ut 1 o'clock Monday morning between Frank Morrell and Ed NJ. Hardesty, in which the former was killed
 From Williams parties we gather the following particulars of the affair:
 Morrell had quarrell with some one and Hardisty, who is the constable at that precinct, endeavored 10 pacify him, when Morrell. who had q gun in each hand, opened fire on Hardesty, the ball passing through his hat. Hardesty pulled his pistol and shot Morrell twice, one ball entering the right chest and the other the right side of the face be. low the eye, both balls ranging upward. Morrell died instantly. Hardesty gave himself up to Deputy Sheriff Boggen. Monday a coroner's inquest was held and the jury returned verdict exon- erating Hardesry.
 Frank Morrell was we'll known all over northern Arizona, and was an old time resident of Williams. He served as constable of that precinct and was elected in November to that position. He served as deputy United States mar shal under Meade, and made an eff cient officer.
 The funeral occurred Tuesday. the interment being made in the Prescott cemetery, under the auspices of the Red Men and Odd Fellows societies, of which deceased was member.
 Prior to the unfortunate affair both men were friends, and both were mem. bers of the same lodge of Red men. and no one regrets the affair more than Constable Hardesty.
 Frank Morrell had large circle of acquaintances and was generally liked by all whoknew him. He leaves wife and two sisters to mourn his death. He

as to the prospective adjustment. The
meeting between the Spanish minis
ter and Judge Day came after the cab
met conference, SO that such repre-
sentation as Spain submitted through
him did not get before the cabinet. AT
least two of these new phases submit
ted by the minister were Of exceeding
Importance. The Spanish government
made it Known that no objection would
be made to the humanitarian objects
Of the United States government in ex-
tending relief to the sufferers in Cuba,
on greater scale than hitherto had
been contemplated. On the contrary,
Spain has made known that it recog-
nizes the humane purposes animating
this government and that it does not
doubt that these purposes will be ex-
ecuted in such a way as to avoid all
opportunities for friction. 1t is not
expected that the relief will be
CARRIED IN WAR SHIPS
as this would introduce a political as
pect into project which is purely hui
name This acquiescence by Spain
clears the way for the Presidents mes
sage of the next few days, asking a
large appropriation for the relief of
restitution in Cuba.
Another important Spanish docu-
ment which reached the government
to-day was the abstract of the report
of the Spanish naval COM
mission which investigated the de-
struction of the Maine. It is the only
answer Spain has thus far made to the
action of this government in submit
ting to Spain through Minister Wood
ford the findings of the American
court. The conclusion reached by the
Spanish commission are directly the
opposite of those of the American
court, No demands have been made
in connection with the Maine. and,
therefore, there is no response beyond
the submission of the Spanish report.
Following the call of the Spanish
minister at the State Department. the
French ambassador. NJ. Cambon, had a
conference with Judge Day. This re-
newed the talk of European mediation,
which is assuming tangible form. The
speech of Premier Hanotaux in the
Paris Chamber of Deputies last Satur-
day is looked upon as Yoreshadowing
at least sympathy If not direct
STEPS TOWARD MEDIATION
by France and other Continental pow
ers. There is good reason to believe
Spain is ready and anxious for this
move, and has been encouraging it at
the European capitals. 1t would not
be an offensive intrusion, but merely
a friendly offer to mediate the differ
ences, which have recently threatened
to terminate in war between the United
States and Spain. It is understood
however, that up to the present time,
M. Cambon has not received any def
mite instructions to take the initial
step in such mediation.
At the War and Navy Departments,
