 We should be especially thankful that during the year now closing, in the early dawn of 8 new century, our star Of national destiny is approaching lbc zenith, it's brilliancy untarnished by single blot of dishonor, and the holy inspiration of our fathers is being realized. We should be profoundly grateful fer the inestimable blessings ofan enlightened, honest, and courage ou5 administration of national affairs; for an expansive and liberal public policy foreign and domestic, and for the glorious victories of our army and navy in relieving the oppressed and in promoting higher civilization and better government wherever 1t has been deemed wise to assume national responsibility.
 We shoulfrender heartfelt thanks for this season of unexampled com- mercial prosperity; for bounteous harvests, and marvellous development of our natural resources; for the opera ion of mills and factories at their fullest capacity; for the elevation of labor, and it's liberal compensation; for preservation from pestilence and di,ease for the bapry contentment oI the people, and for that loyal and patriotic judgement Of our citizens which 1nsures the permanency and strength ot our government.

 Th.S Morning,

FGe anl Party Passed Through Yuma
 Th.s Morning.
 Captain Alfonso B. Smith and party. composed of ths following gentlemen: Ed. Rommel, E ] Co,we!I, F Il Morton, ". King, F. ". Marsh and c. Frank, arrived in Yuma Wednesday and left the following evening for Gila Bend to institute a. search for II. J. Stocker David Unrah, Charles Tyson and Manuel Martinez, who were supposed to have been lost Tn a squall on the gulf couple of weeks ago.
 The searching party had proceed ed about two miles from Gila Bend when they met Col. St0cker and David Unrah. Joy and congratula- tions were the order of the moment and the entire party returned to Gila Bend, arriving about five o'clock. A telegram as to their safety was flashed over the wires and weeping loved ones were made 10 rejoice. The party passed through Yuma this morning for their homes in los Angeles.
 No particulars could be IeMDed of their adventure, and Charles Tysen and Manuel Martinez have not yet been seen in Yuma, but it is understood that they are coming up the river with the boat.
 Captain Smith had te}egraphed to President Diaz asking for assistance in the search for the men and the following telegram was prompt ly received:
 NATIONAL PALACE, MEXICO,
 Nov. 14, 1899. .'ALFoNso B. SMITH. Los Angeles.
 "Noting your message of yester, day steamer has been ordered to look for lost engineers lost in the neighborhood of the Bay of San Jorge, "PoRrTRIo DI c."
 The president of Mexico is to be praised and commended for the prompt action and co operation in the matter.
 The boat in which the men went to sea was made in Needles by Indians and later brought to Yuma, where it was cut in twain and heightened out. About two years ago three mei went down in the same boat to Libertad and only one returned alive. Captain Mellon lowed the boat back to Yuma where it has been tied ID ever since. The man that returned said @ whale had struck the boat and knocked his two comrades overheard, but it later developed that the two men were probably murdered, as they were known to have had money when they left Yuma. About two months later the remains of one of the men were found buried in the sand, but furthermore no facts were known or learned.
 When a chevasco prevails in the gglf vessels of 100 tons will not venture out, therefore Colonel Stocker and party are very forum ate in having successfully bufeted the storm.

A few days ago hs was preaching in 8 town in Georgia and, dipping into politics, got off the following; "The biggest fool in the world is the one who stands up and argues against facts. I was talking to one of those old free silver looms few days ago and called lis attention to the great prosperity which has come upon our country, mills and shops and mines running on full time, and 1 said truly prosperity has come to our land again.

Practically c Daily at t5e price ofa WeeHy
 The striking and important events of the last year have established the overw whelming value of the THRICE-A- WEEK WORLD to every reader. For an almost nominal sum it has kept it's subscribers informed of the pro- gress of all our wars and, moreover, has reported them as promptly and fully as if it were daily. With our interests still extending throughout the world, with our troops operating in the Philippines, and the great pres ,ident'al campaign, too, at hand, its value IS further increased.
 The motto of the THRICE-A.WEEK WORLD Is improvement. It strives each year to be better than it was the year before, and public confidence in it is shown by the fact that it now circulates more than twice as many papers every week as any other news paper, not a daily, published in America.
 To all new subscribers we offer this unequaled newspaper and THE ARI- zoNA SENTINEL together one year for S22.65.

That NeteOric Shower.

The majority of the population of Yuma made preparations Tuesday evening by setting alarm clocks-or sitting up and playing high balP-to observe the meteoric display, which was scheduled to take place sometime between the hours Of F and i of the following morning. Very few stars fell and one of the wits of Madison Avenue arose 10 remark that he could take a few giant frecrackers and pro duce better show for the money. Judge Werninger picked up 8 stone "Wednesday morning which he claims to be a fallen meteor. The stone Is round, about the size of baseball and of a peculiar formation. II might be a heavenly visitor as the like of it was never seen about these parts before. The stone can be seen at the city rec orders office. It seems that the grand display that was expected failed to materialize in any part of the world.

Amerfcan-Canadian Treaty.

Washington. Feb. Prospects for
an agreement between the British and
American joint high commission on
questions affecting Canada and the
United States have greatly improved
within the last week, and it is ex-
pxected now that complete agreement
on all points will be reached early in
February.
Reciprocity has been the stumbling
block in the way of the commission.
The principal point of friction was in
regard to the duty on lumber imposed
under the Dingley law. Canadians
demanded CONCESSIONS on this that the
American commissioners were not at
first willing to make.
This question has not yet been set
tied. but it is understood that both
sides are more conciliatory, each being
anxious that the entire negotiations
should not fail on account of one point
of agreement.
