four duplicates have been detected
 which reduces the total to 1093.
 If there was any stuffing it must
 have been done between midnight Of
 Saturday, April p, and 10 a. m of the
 Sunday immediately following, for no
 registrations have been filed with me
 since. l do not believe it was physi~ cally possible to dig Wp thirty-five Or forty voters in that time. All those exempt from poll tax, firemen, militia men, cripples and sexagenarians had been carefully gathered in before and any new voters must have been of the g 50 poll tax variety. The canvasser who, in ten hours after q Saturday midnight, and after a very diligent search of eighteen days by four lynx eyed investigators, aided by their numerous political friends, can find two score of voters willing to pay. or for whom and one else will pay, a poll tax Of S2.5O in order to get them on the election great register, would com mand his own salary as lightning-rod agent or in the subscription depart ment Of any newspaper on earth
 Furtherm0re, my experience as night reporter here in Phoenix leads me to believe that no such number of men could be found abroad after 9 Saturday midnight, and to get them before 10 o'clock next day one would hav5 to rustic them in their several beds as they lay asleep, with the risk or such bOOjackS and other missiles as came readiest to hand. I know that when l used to go forth from the newspaper office after F o'clock at night to hunt even a 'stickful' of copy the veriest old sleeping. snoring drunk seemed a godsend. Where forty pon tax payers of $2.5O caIiber could come from at that time of the night is cOnundrum impossible to answer. If the charge were of pad ding five or ten names there might be some reasonable probability of it's ac- complishment, but thirty-five or forty? never. Besides, the democrats were nearly 100 ahead in their reported reg istrations. What sense would there be in republican pad of only thirty-five or forty?
 'I said no registrations had been fled with me after about 10 a. m. on Sunday last. That is not quite cor rect. On Tuesday morning, the third day after registration closed. a demo- cratic register offered me four addf- tional registrations, alleging that they had been accidentally overlooked. The proposition seemed so raw that declined it at once. Yesterday affi-, daVit was made detailing the facts of the accident, and after advice from the city attorney. l consented to add these four names to the register. Now if there has been any 'stuf1ing' it does seem to me that the democrats have at least had the last HhaCk at it. AnN it would further seem that, in spite of the poll tax, everybody will have q chance to vote. no matter what his politics. So where does the kick come. in?

MASTER OF SNAKES
Harry Davis Speaks of His AssoCia-
 tion With Reptiles.

A man whom people enormously call 9 snake charmer," is visiting Phoenix. He is the Harry Davies, who gained so much notoriety in Den yer year ago, and he will probably exhibit to the people of Phoenix be- fore long the power he possesses over snakes of poisonous variety. Davies once gave a banquet at Denver in which the guests partOok of snake chops. There was present at the ban quet Pete Gruber. who is known from ocean to ocean as "Rattlesnake Pete, and William c. Shepard, who was at that time a reporter on the Denver Republican. Davies and "Rattlesnake Pete' soon after held a snake charm ing contest, but before Davies had proceeded far is his exhibition, tHe other contestant threw uD his hands in dismay. Davies had way of carrying snakes and small alligatOrs i'll his bosom covered by sweater. He frequently made ext-avagent re- marks regarding his authority over the reptilian kingdom. If there were any 'FDoubti1g Thomases," in his au- dience he would proceed forthwith to prove his statements. There was not policeman in Denver who would ar rest him. The police paid great def erence to him, but there was one re- striction placed upon him. He was not allowed to enter the city hall. MT. Davies acquired power over the snake by making a study of his hab- ;ts.. He first displayed his inclination to boss snakes when he was two years old, by capturing a bull snake He was repeatedly punished but his ardor was not cooled MT. Davies has taught many people the art of handl- ing snakes.
 "All it requires" he explained, "is a man of firm nerve. If you attempt with indecision to handle snake you are almost sure to meet with disaster The slightest quick movement of the hand is all that is necessary to incite

pACIFIC ELECTRIC RAILWAY
Articles of Association FiIgd in
 Phoenix Yesterday.

Articles Of association of the Pa cifc Electric Railway wera filed ia the offica of the territorial secretary yesterday The object of the associa- tion as stated in the articles are the construction of an electric railway from Phoenix to Tempe by the way of the asylum, and the building of an electric line from the Arcade depot Of the Southern Pacific at Los Angeles, west along Fifth strest to Main and north on Main to First street The articles also provide for the building of lines in the counties of Los Angeles Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura.

 The articles were eXeCIted here by J. T. Burke of Los Angeles, who arrived in the city yesterday morning with a power of attorney from the Incorporates. This, in this case, was a necessary legal formality. The articles could not be made out elsewhere ard be forwarded here for fling.
 IL is not apprehended that the Phoe- nlX and Tempe line will be built i'm mediately, and perhaps never, but work will be begun on, the California lines imm ediately.

STUFFING THE REGISTER
Democrats SqueaI Vel Gef in inc
 LaSf BOiUS.

The democratic newspapers pretend to be filled with horror over what they affect to believe is an infamous repub- liean conspiracy at unduIy inf1ating the registration for next Tuesday s election. They insinuate that after the registration closed at midnight on Saturday last some thirty-f1ve or forty names were surreptitiously added 10 the list and they do this because they iWere not abl to canvass more than the number of voters at that time as stunned by them to have been regis tered. As matter of fact the demo- cratic registers had been, cunningly as they thought holding back their reg lstratiOns in order to lull republican workers into inactivity. It did not re- quire overmuch astuteness to discover the rather crude device and if repub- licans in the final windup filed their registrations without submitting them to their opponents' enumeration it can be considered nothing more than continuation of the merry democratic game of temporary deception In point of fact no oath of registration was taken by any republican register after midnight of April P, 1899, the time fixed by law for closing such reg istration. A Republican reporter in tervieWed Recorder Jobs on the sub ject yesterday. He made a statement as follows:
 "On Saturday morning it was ar ranged between the representatives of both political parties that registrations should be filed at the city hall within a reasonable time after midnight, al lowing all registering officers OppOr tunity to reach the recorders office when their limit for registration had arrived. I was not then present, but I understand the arrangement was complied with. Various registrations had been handed to me during the day and I tcUk them home with me about o'clock in the afternoon or there abouts. All registrations filed in the office subsequent to that time were brought to me by about 10 o'clock next morning, Sunday. l did not no- tice the exact time as 1 did not anhci- nate any dispute about the returns. Roth sides seemed to be jealous in 4he work of registration, but there was no reason to suppose that either side would work after midnight, the time fixed by law and mutually agreed upon for stopping.
 ''I immediately began to list the registration as received so that all parties might refer to them at the earliest moment possible. It was quite task, nearly one-half the entire registration that had been in progress since April being dumped upon me at the last moment. I, however, got the list completed and had it ready for inspection by Monday afternoon. The first enumeration gave 1,097 names. In preparing a second list alphabeti cally arranged for the great register,

BuIkzIey Regarding rhe
 Possibilities of Politics.

Ex-Governor M. G.

Mir Bulkeley is president of the Aotns Life Insurance company and stock holder in the Arizona Water com pany He said yesterday that tEe company had substantially come to an agreement as to a new reervoir sys- ten fer the valley, and he does not believe that many years will elaDse before the long looked for conseIva- tion of water will be a reality.
 Governor Bulkeley served his term Of office in Connecticut at the same time that William Mckinley was gov ernor of Ohio and they were close friends Governor Bulkeley has been in every republican national conven- tion in the last ten years and he was chairman of the Connecticut delega- tiOn at the last convention. He was among the first to start the move

ment toward nominating MT. Me Kinley and one of his staunchest workers
 He said that if an election for pres ident was to be held soon he had no doubt that Mckinley would be reelected by even a greater majority than he received before. Many things may transpire within a year, but if something unforeseen does not happen he sees no reason why Me Kinley will not be renominated at the next national convention.
 MT. Bulkeley comedies that Roose- welt is presidential possibility. He has the utmost conffdertce of his party and the people in general. There are other possibilities in the field, yet Governor Bulkeley thinks none Of them will be as likely candi- dates as the man who is now at the head of affairs.
