TO Phoenix.

Emory D. Miller, proprietor CT the
Border Vidette, and one of the best
fellows ever, returned to the city yes
/ terday morning ON a visit for enc day,
after an absence Of three years. Three
years is not q very long time. but it
was long enough for Mr.. Miller to for
| get his way back by the nearest route.
He arrived via ella Bend Mr.. Miller
! got on the main lina at Bens0l. W.
H Buckingham, t:ave5ing representa-
tive fer Fairbanks, Morse & Co., got on
at Tucson. They Immediately get Uo
talking about the Philippines ques-
| zion, which each regarded as a per-
sCnal matter. Mr.. Buckingham is an
antiIexpansiCrrst for commercial Iea-
sons, and Mr.. Miller fer democratic
political reasons believes that things
should be left as they ara and that il
the country wants to expand anything
let it expand the currency by adopting
free coinage Mr.. Miller and Mr..
Buckingham had it up and down. At
Red Rcck Mr.. Miller had rather the
best OF the argument, but at Picacho
Mr.. Buckingham seemed tc be on top.
Mr.. Miller was three laps ahead at
Casa Grande, but by tbs time the train
reached Arizola Mr.. buckingham had
succeeded in closing up the gap. After
til the debate settled down to an
eventlcl:s tug CT w2r. Mr.. Bucking-
hams aEzauIt upon the character Of
Aguins.do was neatly cCuEise;ed by
NJ MIXERS demand for the recall Cf
Otis aud the substitution Of a comm s.
SIGN headed by General Edward At
kinson.
The train ran into Maricopa and
stopped, but the Philippine issue was
still going on. The conductor warned
the debaters to get off. They thought
he was joshing them and stayed on.
CD Maifcopa was passed unncticed.
The conductor said: You fell
lows have changed your mind
sd concluded 10 go to the
cS2st?' The debaters smiled and re-
sumed tha discussion. The next time
the train stopped the conductor yelled
ella Bend!' in an official tone. Mr. /
Miller had never seen ella Bend and
locking out of the widow in tbs
smiled, imagining it was
Casa Grande, and said, This cCnduc- !
ter is a great josher." But Mr.. |

machinery and traffic. He sp.ang into |
the aisle and yelled: Curse the Phil
ipp:nes! This is ella Bend SO hep !
me Gcd!" Mr.. Miller cried: Damn
A guinaldol' Than they cursed the
conductor in relays and Threatened to
report him to beth the division and
general offices and TO the interstate
commerce commission. Thci conduc-
tor at length pacified them and get
them off the train, 50 he could go on.
He got E. G. CarTuthers to keep them
heFded close to the track and put them
IN the first e3stbound train. They got
back to MaT-copa in time to catch the
Phoenix train, so that after all, no
lime was lost.
