THE NEWS or YUMA

l Yuma, Ariz.. Sept. 15.-(Special Cor
 respondence of The Republican.)- Outside of Phoenix, Yuma seems to be the most prosperous town in Arizona It is difficult to conceive how the grow ing town on the Colorado river could help pIcughing ahead in general inn prOvement and wealth. It has all the elements to help make a large and prosperous city. The broad Colorado
 rivers periodical overflow on both
 sides of it's embankme1t, leaving there
 on fertile alluvial deposits from the
 mountains, make the soil exceedingly
 rich and the results are an abundance of large luscious fruit and cereals which
 find ready markets in southern Cali
 fornia, and easterly to Fl PasC. All
 the mines in the environs of Yuma are looking well. The Fortuna contin-
 ues to yield it's harvest of yellow
 metal; also a number of valuable mines in Castle Dome, the Gold King. seventy miles from the town, will soon surprise the world with it's i'm mense output Of gold. Other mines
 within a radius of a hundred miles contribute to enrich the metropolis of the Colorado river The town is i'm proving rapidly.
 The Hotel Gandolfo, large two- story brick, with basement, with 200 feet frontage on the principal street. is nearing completion. It will be fine and much needed hotel. The large hall built therein expressly for the or der of Elks will ba occupied by the so- ciety next week
 MT. Sanguinetti, Gondoifo's former partner, whose large general merchan- disc store was consumed by fire, has removed to the largest store room in the Gondolfo hotel block A large twO-stOry brick will be built on the ruins of the last big fire. I noticed a number of other new business edi- fees, a handsome new Catholic church and a score Of cozy residences that were not eXtant six months ago.
 No one complains of hard times. On the contrary, the invariable reply to 9 strangers query, "HCw is business?" is Pretty good" CT Cant complain" Everybody has money and plenty of it, and Yuma promises to be one of the most important agricultural and min ing cities in the southwest.
 A great number of Phoenix papers are circulated in Puma Visitors see them promiscuously scattered over tables, counters, and chairs in every ! store, office and residence Musical | taste is developing largely A. Rede- will disposed Of six pianos during his | short sojourn in the town.

FOREIGN NOTES
 AND COMMENT

Sir Julian PauncefCte is in 10 sense
 of the word to blame for having used
 at Washington the cid Norman name
 Of Pauncefcte Ga corruption of Pauncs-
 fCrte), whereas the real patronymic Of his family is Smith. It was his father,
 and not he, who abandoned the name
 Of Smith for that C1 Pauncefote. The Smith family to which the new Lord | Fauncefote belongs is rather distin- guished for it's fondness for changing 1 it's name. Thus his father was the
 great grandson of Nottingham bank
 CT of the name of Abel Smith. The latter had three sons-George, who changed his name to Bromley, which his descendants now bear, the head Of the house being Sir Henry Bromley; Robert, the second son, who changed his name to Darlington on being made a peer fer the services which he rem dered as a banker to Pitt, England's $ most famous premier. and John, the
 third son, who was the ancestor, that is
 to say, the great grandfather of the
 new Lord Pauncefote. Thus of the
 original family Of Abel Smith, the Not
 tingham banker, not a single descend-
 ant bearing the name of Smith now re-
 mains.
 The first Lcrd Darlington, the broth CT of Lord Pauncefote's great grand
 father, was the man whose elevation to the peerage was so strongly resist ed by King George III, who finally gave way in a very ungraciOus manner to Premier Pitt on the subject, grunt
 ing, Well, I'll make your friend a peer but I can't make him a gentle man." There is a very ancient and noble house of Pauncefote, which spells its name, however, in a slightly different manner, ''Paunceforte," and 1t is stated that they express resent ment at the British ambassador at Washington assuming the name Of Lord Pauncefote. The head of the old Pauncefote family is Sir Henry Paun- cefote-Duncombe, and although his baronetcy is Of relatively modern ere ation, yet he is able to trace back his ancestry in an unbrCken line tci that Godfrey de Paunceforte who was Lord Stewart of the household to King John. In the great Doomsday Book it is likewise on record that the Paun- ceforte family was in possession cf fair lands in the county of Glouces- ter," in the reign of William the Con queror, that is to say, nine centuries ago.
 There is no truth whatsoever in the announcement of the bethrothal of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir ap- parent to the throne of Austria, and Grand Duchess Helene of Russia, who recently tilted the now crazy Prince Max of Baden. Those responsible for the circulation of this story are evi- dently unaware of the existence of a | clause in the constitution of Austria Huns gary, and in the laws of Austrian IoI,o l0s7 +kNt the throne from marrying any princess who is not Catholic by birth. In all | the history of Europe there has only | been one solitary instance of a mar | riage between a Russian grand duchess and a Hapsburg archduke. The latter 1

I am convinced that we will have to adopt some system about building up our navy We cannot get along building a battleship one year, and none next; now building torpedo beats, and then leaving their con- structicn off At this rate we will soon have a top-hsaviness in one class of ships and a shortage in others. This means insist, that we must have system about ship building, and that what is necessary is a naval policy board

 Speaking of his incident with Kaiser Wilhelm, MT Foss said: Germany is a great country. Kaiser Wilhelm is fcrceful and energetic. In typical western language, he is a hustler. He told me there was no reason why Ger many and the United States should not always be on good terms"
