BUTCHERS ORGANIZE
A Territorial Association for pro.
 teCfiVe Purposes Formed.

A Territorial Butchers Protective
 Association was formed in this city 1 yesterday. The officers are w. H.
 Smith of Prescott, president; c. E.
 Schumacher of Tucson, vice president; J. c. Phelan of Williams, treasurer, and P T. Hurley of Phoenix, secretary The object of the association, as it's name implies is to secure greater pro lection for the trade than it now en- joys.
 The burden of which the butchers chiefly complain is the inspection fee imposed by the stock laws of the Nineteenth legislature. The fee has been paid under an informal protest, but hereafter it will not be paid at all, until the law has been sustained in the courts. The disregard of the law will be begun by the Phoenix butchers. In the meantime the outside butchers will continue to pay until a legal de- cision has been reached. The butchers object to the inspection fee for a va riety of reasons. In the first place they contend that the inspection is of no advantage to anybody but: the in spector who makes his inspection by calling at intervals and examining the hides which have accumulated since his last visit. Thus no protection is afforded the butcher, who might occa- sionally be benefited if the inspection were made before the slaughter of the animals.
 In the next place the butchers con tend that the class intended to be ben efited by the inspection, the cattle raisers, do not, in this county, at any rate, bear any part of the expense, though in some localities, Tucson for instance the cost of inspection is de ducted from the purchase price of the cattle.
 The third objection of the butchers is that the burden of inspection is un~ justly and unequally distributed. The inspection for cattle destined to be slaughtered is 25 cents, for shipping cattle cents. The butchers refer to the records for 1898, which show that though $2,4OO more was paid by them than by the shippers, only about one sixth as many cattle were slaughtered as were shipped.

 WHAT PEOPLE SAY. {

Thomas Holland: In the papers and elsewhere I notice that a number of the returned Rough Riders suffering from fever are leaving for California and other places in quest of health. It seems strange to me that they should leave the territory when there is no better place for them. I firmly believe that they could be cured at the Hot Springs, for I have not known the springs to fail in helping anyone afflicted.
 John F. Hill, Phoenix: Seeing with what success attends the different state associations that hold yearly meetings at this place, I have ire Quently asked myself the question, Why could not those from Ohio here organize and have an association also? Is it not a fact that within tho last thirty years or mere, that all great men-statesmen and warriors and pretty women, hail from the Buckeye state? In looking around I find many of them have found happy homes ir the broad and fertile valley of the Salt river. I, for one, will move that we have an Ohio assoc Iation. Who will second it?

self from Such Rights rs the
Constitution Demands.

London. September 1.-The secretary of
| state for the colonies. Joseph Chamber
lain, issued the text of the Transvaal dis
patches of August 10 and 81, and of the
reply of the imperial government on Au-
gust IS. The publication Is accompanied
making the correct versions known, owing
TO the fact that an incorrect version has
been published in Pretoria.
The Transvaal dispatch of August 10
contains the proposal regarding the fran
chise which goes upon the assumption
that Great Britain will agree that the
intervention does not constitute prece-
dent and will allow the snzerainty question
TO be dropped. The dispatch of August
81 makes the proposed concessions express
ly conditional upon Great Britan's under
standing not to interfere in the domestic
affairs OF the Transvaal not to insist on
further assertion of existence Of suz-
erainty and to agree to arbitration. The
reply OF the imperial government, dated
August rs, declares that Great Britain
considers the proposals as alternative 10
principle Of n franchise will not be ham
pered by conditions impairing its useful
ness and which Will secure immediate rep
resentation.
With respect to Intervention the i'm
peral note says that the government can
not debar themselves from their rights
under the constitution nor divest them
selves Of obligations of civilized power
TO protect It's subjects abroad from injus-
iice. The note concludes by reminding
the Transvanl that other matters exist
which the grant of a political franchise
will not settle and which are not the prop
err subjects or arbitration. These, the note
declares, 1t will be necessary to settle
concurrently with the questions already
under discussion and they will form with
the question of arbitration proper subject
for the proposed Capetown conference.
The Pretoria version of the imperial
reply was that Mr.. Chamberlain was I'M
able to consider the Transvaal's proposals
as an alternative to joint commission OF
inquiry.
