FILlPIN0S HOIST
A BRITISH FLAG

VICTORIA, B. c., April 24.-News
was brought by r. M. S. Empress of
China that H. NJ. S. Archer, which
sailed ON February 26 with sealed or
ders, has returned to Singapore She
went direct from there to Palawan.
Her orders were received from Eng
land by telegraph. They were to pro-
ceed as quickly as possible to Palawan
where the British flag had been hoisted
by the natives. The Archer's mission
was to haul it down.
On arriving off small settlement on
the Palawan coast the British red en-
sign was seen flying, and the ship had
not been at anchor any length of time
before several Filipinos came aboard
and had an interview with Command
er Dare. He informed them he had
been instructed to take the flag down
and that it would be his duty to do
so. Some palaver ensued, in the course
OF which it became apparent that the
inhabitants of the town had hoisted
the British flag because they thought

Get over on this side" shouted veale
to Moore, and the latter did as told.
During this conversation the Sheriff
kept his rife leveled at Moore Bon
zagni then picked up the shotgun that
Moore had dropped a.nd found that it
was not only loaded, but that the ham
mer was up, showing that Moore was
ready for an emergency. The pack of
blankets was given back to the mur-
derer, and he was made to walk ahead
and marched TO town, Sheriff Veale
walking behind, with the Winchester
leVeled at the criminal The distance
from the point where Moore was cap
tured TO town is about three miles, and
this Moore was compelled to cover at
the point of the rifle.
At the County Jail Moore had moth
ing to say. He was searched and a
great many articles taken from him.
While the searching was going on one
of the officers unrolled Moore's blan-
kets and inside was a Colts revolver,
the weapon of Police officer KiIroy. and
by which Identification was made all
most complete. When asked what he
was doing with so many revolvers
Moore had nothing to say. Among the
articles taken from Moore was a hunt
ing-case gold watch and chain. with
compass fob attached to the charm
On the outside of the case were en-
graved the initials Il. NJ" Besides
this there was a diamond ring, a lot of
old coins, a gold stud, a razor, flute
a snuffboX, a shaving brush, a gold
penholder and pen, a bunch of keys,
purse containing a lot of specimens of
ore pair of spectacles a box of per-
cussiCn caps, a pearl-handled knife, a
plain gold band ring, a gold ring with a
chain setting, a German silver tobacco
box, a timetable of the Southern Pa
cific, a memorandum book, from the
cover of which the name of the owner
had been scratched, and a small bar of
silver with the name Il. Getchell' on it.
After Moore had been thoroughly
searched he told Sheriff Veale he
wished to communicate with a friend,
but when the officer brought him a
telegraph blank and pencil Moore said
he felt tired and would postpone the
matter until later. Moore said he felt
hungry and would like something to
eat The Sheriff took him to a restau-
rant, gave him a good meal, and then
brought him back to the Jail. After
he was put into a cell he had a chill
and trembled like an aspen leaf.
Sheriff Veale telephoned to Sheriff
Getchell of Nevada City and told the
officer he had the murderer of Kilroy.
The first question that Getchell asked
was:
Did he have a gold watch on him
with the initials T. M on it, and did
he have a Colts revolver with him?"
Getchell vas informed that he had
THAT is our man, then" replied
Getchell. See that he is we'll taken
care of, and do not under any circum-
stances COW him to get away"
This evening a representative of The
Call had a talk with the murderer He
stated that when arrested he was on
his way to Oakland to see E. H. Moore
at 666 Claremont avenue, who is a rel
ative of his. Further than this the
man would not say anything. He is
locked up in a steel tank at the Jail
and a watc' of two men will be kept
over him during the night The Sheriff

paath of s'MonumentaIp Smith.

Last Saturday evening about clock Aaron R. Smith was found lying in the street near the school house in dying condition, and the vital spark soon passed unheralded to the Maker who gave it. Dr. Broadway was called, and after examination pronounced it a case of heart failure. The body was taken to Thomas corral, where it was crowded into misit pauper's coffin and hurried off to the Potter's field by 9 o'clock the next morning, after a coroner's inquest had decided that "deceased came to his death from natural causes"
 A number of ministers of the Gospel were in Florence at the time, but no disciple of the meek and lowly Jesus was present to administer the last sad rites over the remains of kindly old soul who never harmed anybody.
 Rattle his bones over the stones;
 He's only pauper whom nobody owns"
 Aaron R. Smith was prospector, 70 years old, and had lived for many years in Pinal county, where he was known as Monumental" Smith to distinguish him from the many other Smiths. The old man lived in tent in the east end of town, with 10 other companion than his faithful dog, which seemed to be the only tfriend left on earth. The distressing features of his death and burial have caused much comment during the past week, and no one pretends to say that they were excusable, except that tine poor old man was dead and buried before most of our people knew anything about it. The responsibility for such inhumanity should be placed where it belongs, and it should never be allow ed to occur again if our town expects to retain its fair fame.

JOHN D. YOUNG KILLED.
A Fatal Fall in the Shaff of the Eikhart
 Mine.
from the Phoenix Republioan.l

From the Phoenix Republican,
 John D. Young, the second son of Col. and Mrs. J. Roe Young, was killed Sunday morning by fall in a shaft of the Elkhart mine in Mohave county. The first news of the tragedy was con veyed in telegram by F. F. Aspin- wall of Kingman to Mrs. Bury. The telegram said that the body would reach Phoenix on Monday night. A telegram was received later by Mrs. Young from Col. Young informing her that their son was dead, and exhorting her to be brave.
 The dead young man was p years of age and highly esteemed. He was quite we'll known in Phoenix, having served for some time as conductor on the Mesa branch of the NJ. & P. railroad. He later took course in mining and was graduated year ago from the university. He soon after entered the employment as assayer of the Elkhart Mining company, of which Theodore E. Comstock, former president of the university, is the head. Not long ago he came in possession of valuable mining property in the Chloride dis trict, and his father joined him week ago on the receipt of a telegram from him.

Future of the Bicycle.

It is agreed by all bicycle manufac- turers that the 1899 models represent the perfect wheel. Improvement seems to be impossible. Precisely the same thing IS true of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. It represents the limits of science in overcoming disease, and it is impossible to make a better medicine for the stomach, liver, kid- neys and blood. A few doses of the Bitters will start weak, nervous and bloodless people on the road to strength. A regular course of treat ment will bring back the pink to the cheeks and sparkle to the eye.' Sleep will come naturally, and it will be refreshing and healthful. Dyspepsia, indigestion and constipation will be completely banished, and the blessings of true health bertowed. Never take a substitute for this perfect remedy.

Turn Them Out.
From the Phoenix Gazette l

The producing mines of Arizona could not be purchased to-day for one
 hundred and fifty millions dollars, but the assessment roll of Arizona is only one-ifth of that snm, while every mine
 in the territory put together don't pay
 taxes on 6ue million dollars valuation.
 That is showing that ought to bring the blush of shame to the cheeks of the men who are so lavish in the use of their money to purchase mules i during the sessions of the legislature. If the citizens of Arizona don't take this matter more seriously in hand and elect reputable legislators and asses sors they will be justly entitled to be impoverished by increased taxation and corruption in high places in public life. The proposition is plain, and the Bisbee mine owners, the Clifton millionaires and the millionaire sena- tor from Montana, who purchased the Montana legislature in person and the Arizona lawmakers by proxy, cannot and do not propose to try to defe nd their indefensible non-taxpaying sys- tens, but they stand in our legislative halls aad with the aid of few hund- red dol lsgs buy votes enough in the legisla Ere to defeat all laws in- troducea looking to the just and equit- able taxation of their great bullion producing mines of Arizona. Think of it! $150, 100000 worth of mines, pay ing enormous dividends to their owners, yet paying taxes on . gross sum of less than $1,000, 900 annually. Every man who owns farm O. house in any town or farm in Arizona is taxed nearly up to its cash value, and not a few are taxed beyond their real value, yet these millionaire chief tains sit back in their easy chairs in New York, dig out Arizona precious treasures from her hills, and tax the farmers and laboring men of the ter ritory to maintain government to protec ct their interests in the territory. Will the people never quit electing Carpenters and Wrights? Will they not sometimes learn to elect men to the legislature that these mule-buying citizens cannot purchase. This seri- ous problem confronts the taxpayers, and it should be agitated by every rep utable newspaper and citizen in Ari- zona tilla public sentiment has been created that will drive those scoun- drels from public life.

For the benefit of the TRIBUNE, from which the following is taken, the Gazette may state that the distin- guished writer, Mir. Paul Hull, will be in Florence about May 1st: ''If Mir. Paul Hull, the we'll known newspaper writer, happens to come over this way to get look at the voters who sent imbecile or dishonest Republican legis- lators to misrepresent Pinal county in the last legislature, it will be the duty of our best citizens to see that the leading cranks (some of them calling themselves Demoerats) are kept locked up during his visit. Otherwise he is apt to get an unfavorable impression of our live little community"

 Judge Frank Duffy returned from Washington Camp last Wednesday,, where he had been to perform the legal part of an important mining deal, which conveyed the Pride of the West from Frank Olsen, of Washington Camp, to Messrs. Arthur R. Wilfey and Emerson Gee, of Denver, Colorado. The price paid is not known in Mo- gales, but it is said there were five figures. Mir. Olsen's interest was a half, two other gentlemen holding the other half. This deal means a boom at Washington Camp, for the Denver people will at once build smelter and make things hum. Mir.
