drawn our forces from the suburbs of
Manila as an additional evidence of our
confidence in the great American republic.

THERE is NO ALLIANCE.

Washington, May 30.-Inquiry at the
state department and at the British
embassy fails to develop any substan-
tial basis for the superstition that ne
gotiations are afoot looking to close
compact between us and Great Brit
ain covering all possible subjects OF
difference, comforting special trade
privileges on both parties, providing
for the joint use of the Nicaragua
canal, and embracing what would
amount to an alliance, offensive and
defensive, to the end that Great Brit
ain may enjoy in peace her Aslaflc
possessions, while the United States
will have share of the trade in that
quarter and will be secured also IN the
application of the Monroe doctrine

Notwithstanding yesterday was a
| holiday. Governor McCord spent a
considerable part of the afternoon at
the executive chamber expecting that
! perhaps word would come from Wash
ington regarding the organization Of
the First Arizona regiment At a late
hour, however, nothing had been re-
ceived The absence of information
may he accounted for by the fact, as
shown by dispatches, that the depart
ment and the president are engrossed
in preparations to throw into Cuba as
soon as possible the troops already
concentrated at gulf points.
Almost every man has a vein of SUI
perstition running through him. In
some it is so well concealed that only
ones most intimate friends are aware
of it's existence. To the rest of the
world he is a hard-headed and prac-
teal man of business 1t is hardly
proper after all to speak of these pc
culiarities as superstition. They are
rather idiosyncracies. Some men in
variably put on the left shoe before
the right one. That is not supersti-
ton. Another man is worried if he
catches a glimpse of the new moon
over his left shoulder. He is to a
certain extent superstitiOus. Now there
is Deputy Sheriff Henry George. His
i-ecentricity is an extraordinary one.
He will not handle money in any man
ner on Sundays or holidays. So do
not a great many other people. But
with Mr.. George, through whose hands
great deal of money passes in the
course of week, it is an idiosyncrasy.
