The Uniled States court is In ses
sion AZ Silver City this week. The
most Important case before the court
at this session is that of the men ar
rested for holding up the mail train at
Stems Pass a few weeks ago. Indict-
ments will probably be returned by
the grand jury at this term of court,
but whether the cases will be tried or
not is not known. In addition to the
men already under arrest j. W.. Vim
mage, who owns the ranch where the
men were arrested, has been put M
der arrest, probably because he was
supposed to have a guilty knowledge
Of what took place. The government,
the express company and the railroad
company will use every effort to bring
the guilty TO justice. The men un-
der arrest have many friends who will
do their best TO clear them. A mum

The Wilcox News aud the Solomon
vile Bulletin report that many cases
Of cattle stealing are being reported in
eastern Arizona, aud the Bisbee Orb
reports that VIM. Garvey, beef con-
tractorat Fort Hurchuca, aud an EN-
ploye named Chas. Wilson have been
arrested FOR killing stolen cattle. 1t
is said that a cache OF some afty hides
from stolen stock was found on
Garvey's premises. 1t is pretty bard
work to convict cattle thieves, and
one reason why it is pretty hard is
that the owners OF cattle which have
been stolen are more prone to use the
sixshOOter on the thieves, than they
are to prosecute them legally. When
il comes to using the sixshOoter the
thieves have just as good a chance as
do the owners OF cattle. One reason
why it is hard TO convict the thieves
is that all the owners of cattle are not
STRICTLY honest. Many of them are
not ADVERSE to branding a maverick
themselves and knowing what thej
have done they are 10th to appear OF
the witness stand themselves. o.
course there are many Of the cattle
men who are strictly honest, but they
cannot control the entire trade. TC
believe the Arizona papers there is {
Jincture Of dishonesty permeating ever
the head center of the cattle business
Of the territory, the Live Stock SAM
tary Board, and if there is dishonesty
there it is not surprising that 4 Ger
tain amount of dishonesty extend,
Through the entire business. II j;
hard to make the public believe thai
il is entirely dishonest TO steal from d
thief.

Owing to the rush OF work on the
Southern Poetic caused by the extra
freight coming from the Santa Fe
while IL was tied up by the demolished
tunnel a great many new railroad men
have been set to work, and some OF
them carry more than the average
railroader's gall. The other day a
new brakeman came into Tom Tong's
restaurant and wanted to eat on
credit. He was asked To sign an order
on the superintendent for a meal tick
ct, which orders are always hOnored,
aud If the ticket is not used up when
the man quits or is fred is accepted
as cash in the settlement with the
paymaster. The brakeman objected
TO signing m order, because he was
not cohing back again and could not
use up a ticket. II be did not come
back to use the ticket Tong could not
see how he was coming back to pay
for the meals he wanted on credit,
and the man went hungry Till he dug
up the cold cash. Another one went
into Il grocery store aud told the store
keeper he was braking for a well
known conductor, and wanted a bill
OF grub on credit to use on the ca
bose, where the crew was cooking.
The store keeper did not know the
strange brakeman aud refused 70 let
him have the grub without someone
TO vouch for him. He tried TO get one
or Two failroaders who were in the
srore 10 stand for the bill, but they
did not know him, and told him to go

How Sacramento Remembered Her
Soldier Boys Who Went
to Fight.

Out on the wind swept parade ground
at the Presidio, between the villages OF
snow white tents which house the md-
jority of our citizen soldiery, fully 5000
people gathered yesterday afternoon
and witnessed the sword presentation
made by the citizens of Sacramento to
the officers of Company F, Second Bat
talon, California Volunteers. formerly
Company Z of this city.
The presentation speech in behalf OF
the citizens was made by Major Arthur
NJ. Seymour of Sacramento and was re-
sponded to by Chief Justice w. H.
Beatty Of the Supreme Court on the
part of the officers of the company,
no claimed that they were more at
home in acting than in speechmaking
and could not find words to express
their sentiments to their fellow citizens
who had so handsomely remembered
them.
When the assembly call was sounded
by the buglers, the various battalions
marched from the village of tents and
dispersed by companies for drill, Com
pany F, after going through the usual
maneuvers and manual Of arms drill
was drawn UP facing the assembled
crowd with their officers several PAGES
to the front.
Major Seymour then stepped forward
and made a glowing speech in which
he briefly reviewed the causes of the
war. He said: This is not a war OF
territorial acquisition, nor is it a war
of vengeance although it is safe to say
there does not exist to-day within the
confines of the United States single
patriotic lover of his country and MS
brethren who will not claim that the
dastardly treachery which sent the
brave men of the Maine to their last
rest, can only be atoned for in blood.
This is a war in the interests of the
down-trodden and oppressed whose
cries for mercy and help have arisen at
our very doors. 1t is a struggle for
human rights for the afflicted and OPP
pressed against their powerful oprress-
ors, nearly identical with that made
by our forefathers during the revolu-
ton. only on behalf of an alien peo-
pie and yet waged with right and JUS
tice.
In concluding he said: Officers and
men of Company +, the citizens Of Sac
ramento are more than proud of their
pushed to the front to do battle in the
cause Of the oppressed, and tor the
honor of their country's flag, am they
desire me to state that in thought they

In addition they wish to assure you
that they are not only willing but are
anxious to procure for you all the crea-
ture comforts possible and you can rest
assured that there will be no lack Of
funds forthcoming to procure them. AS

Ex-SECRETARY TRACY.
Believes Congress Should Author
ize Construction of Cruisers.

WASHINGTON, May lex ecre-
tary of the Navy Tracy of New York,
under whose administration many Of
the battleships and cruisers of our new
navy were projected and built. was at
the Navy Department to-day.
General Tracy was asked if our ships
in their present active service met the
expectations he had of them when the
new navy was being developed.
ITO judge from Manila, they are meet
ing every exDectation.' said General
Tracy. and yet l believe it to be the
plain duty of Congress TO authorize i'm
mediately the construction of six large
armored cruisers of the most modern
type, even larger than the cruisers New
York and Brooklyn. These should be
ordered in addition to the ships auth
orized by the regular naval appropria-
ton bill. Now that we are called upon
to carry on offensive warfare, the need
of armored cruisers is imperative, and
the lack of them is at present serious
handicap.

if that need arise. strike, and may the
God of battle nerve your arms, watch
over and protect you that you may do
honor to your country, your flag and
your city"
Major Seymour then took the swords
and handed them to Captain Lucey
First Lieutenant McMartin and Second
Lieutenant Hughes, and after the
belts were buckled on, Chief Justice
Beatty stepped to the side of Captain
Lucey, and in a short, fitting speech,
returned the thanks of officers and men
to the citizens of Sacramento for their
handsome gift, and more particularly
for the kindly interest demonstrated in
their welfare by their presentation. In
conclusion, he said: Il feel that we
can safely promise that these blades
will never be furnished by cowardice or
dishonor, nor Will they be drawn save
in the cause of right and justice"
Captain Lucey then proposed three
cheers for Major Seymour and Chief
Justice Beatty, and they were given
with a will He then called for three
cheers for the citizens of Sacramento,
and Immediately the vast crowd of on
lockers added their voices in a shout
that rang out all over the Preside.
Sergeant Milliken then proposed three
cheers for Dad" Rutherford. This
also met a hearty response from the
rank and file. and the company return
ed to their drill.
The swords were the regulation line
officers blades, presentation pattern,
but manufactured for field service, the
guard and cap of the hilt being heavily
gold-plated, the grip portion of the hilt
representing a piece of rope, each al
ternate strand being silver. The blades
for tWo-thirds of their length were
handsomely chased, and had engraved
upon them the letters, ~. s., and
were SO beautifully tempered that they
could be bent nearly double without in
jury The scabbards We're of polished
steel, with three embossed gold-plated
bands, the lower point of the scabbards
also being ~old- plated, and one bore
the inscriptions: Presented to Captain
John F. Lucey by the citizens of Sac
ramento, May 10, 1898" The inscrip-
tions on the Lieutenants scabbards
were similar, with their names substi-
tuted.
The presentation created vast
amount of interest in San Francisco,
and a general expression of praise in
favor of the active spirit of patriotism
portrayed by Sacramento citizens. and
Sacramento never does anything by
halves" was a common saying.

idea of being a defensive navy. The
battleship is. essentially for defensive
purposes, as it lacks the speed essential
to carry on effective offensive warfare,
although of course it is a valuable ad-
junct in any line of warfare. The IN
armored cruisers. such as the Mime
apolis and Columbia. We're designed
mainly as scouts. and also as commerce
destroyers. Now, however, we find
ourselves at war with a nation which
has little commerce to be destroyed, so
that the unarnored cruiser has little
work to accomplish in the line of its
original purpose, although valuable as
an adjunct in any line.
The armored cruisers New York and
Brooklyn are fine ships of their class,
and are exactly fitted for this line of
offensive work. They combine the fea-
lures of, heavy armor and protected
decks of an ironclad, together with the
speed of a cruiser. But what we need
is more of them. The strength of the
Spanish squadron now in Southern
waters lies in the fact that it has this
type of armored cruisers, with speed
and protective decks of armor, suitable
for defensive work"
When General Tracy's attention was
called to the report that he might go to
the Philippines as Civil Governor Gen
eral, he laughingly dismissed the sug-
gestion, and said there never had been
thought of this move except in the
vivid imagination of some newspape:
writer.
The ex-Secretary strongly approves
the energy of all deDartmentS of the
Government in coping with the present
war emergency and deDrecates the
loose gossip and criticism which seeks to
force aggressive movement without re-
gard to mature consideration which the
mOmentous character of the movements
require.
