DEPEw TALKS POLITICS.
Thinks the Republicans VIII Have
No Opposition in 1900

CLEVELAND. May BIN an inter
view here to-day Hon. Chauncey NJ
Depew said that he favored the con-
tinuance of Senator NJ. A. Hanna as
Chairman of the Republican National
Committee.
I'm the election of 1896 Mr. Hanna
showed a skill in conducting the affairs
of the Republican party that has never
been surpassed in the history of the
party" said Mr.. Depew. TT is The
policy of the Republican party never TO
get rid OF good leader until it has
found a better one
Speaking of the campaign of 1900,
Senator Depew said the Republican
parry would have practically no oppo-
sition. Bryan has driven the New
York Democrats out of the party and
they cannot again get together he
said.
What win be the Republican issue
in 1902" he was asked.
THE platform will reassert everything
the party mas ever said, and the party
will declare in favor of expansion
How about trusts?'
Undoubtedly the Republican party
will adopt a plank condemning trusts,
and l also think the Democratic party
Will adopt a similar plank The Re
pubiicans will reaffirm it's declaration
for the gold standard, and there is no
doubt the Democrats win again take up
silver"

The Arizona Schoolma'am.

An out-of-town school trustee came
in yesterday to see if the school authori-
ties could head off the schoolma' am in
his district. His statement of the case
was probably colored. Said he: I'VE
hired her fer six months. The time wuz
up las Friday. l tole her a couple of
weeks afore that l guessed we Wouldn' t
have more'n a six Months term; tibet
the money was bout all gone an we'd
have to git some furnicher and make
some repairs about the school house, so
we wouldn't have no more school this
year. But she was loaded fer me, an
told me she'd been to town and seen
Mr.. Fulton an he told her Their was
money 'nough fer four weeks more and
ther'd still be about $50 left. Nothin'
we could say'd shake her, an she lust
keeps on teaching, an gawdnows when
she'll stop. 1 spose when the money
runs out. She's on'y got four scholars
an three Of 'em comes from where she's
boardin'. All the Mexicans is Quit. an
one man TUX his children out after
they'd been agoin' three months. He
said they didn't know es much es they
did when they started in. If they'd
kept OH till the end O. the term they'd
forgot how to read writin'. -
There is no relief for that district if
the situation deserved it, on account of
peculiar contract into which many
teachers enter with the Superintendent.
The contract contains no definite speci-
fication as to the length of the term,
but makes it contingent upon the funds
apportioned to the district for the
teachers salary. 1t is such a contract
that this teacher is operating Under
Arizona Republican.

MISSOURI ANTI-TRUST LAW.
Two Bills Passed by the Legislature
and Sent to the Governor.

JEFFERSON CITY, May 3-The
House to-day passed and sent to the
Governor for signature two bills intend
ed to give the Attorney General almost
unlimited power in the prosecution of
trusts.
One permits that official to require
officers Of corporations whom he may
believe to have formed a trust, and
against which companies he may desire
to proceed, to appear to give testimony
in regard to the. matter. The penalty
for failure to appear is imprisonment
for contempt This bill is intended to
make the officers furnish testimony to
convict themselves in advance of pro-
ceedingS against them.
The other bill enables the Supreme
Court to fix a place in the State where
officers Of corporations against whom
the Attorney General is proceeding for
violation of the antitrust law can ap-
pear and testify. This bill is intended
to proven. the necessity for the Attor-
ney General to go all over the United
States to take testimony, as was done
in the recent suit against the insurance
companies

IS HE A WIZARD?
Travels Hundredsb Of Miles in a
Trance and Gets News.

Here is yarn that has been picked
up by the Society for Physical Re-
search. DR.. R. w. Felkin, who had
accompanied Emin Pacha on a tour
through Uganda and adjacent terri
tory, is responsible for it. He says that
some time last year his party had got
back to Lado, about a thousand miles
south of Khartoum, and that he had
been without letters from Europe for
a year Naturally, he was impatient
for tidings. In that part of Africa he
had often come across wizards, who
pretended to transform themselves into
lions or other animals at night and to
travel immense distances in this guise.
They also assert that they acquire in
cattle and other lost property. DR.. Eel
kin says that, although he has no ex-
PLANTATION to offer in regard to these
alleged feats, he had a chance to- verify
one of their stories.
One morning after his arrival at
Lado a man came to his tent. evident
ly in great excitement, and said that
the local wizard, or 'mlogo," had been
roaming about the country the night
before in the form of a jackal. Dur
ing his rambles the IN logo" had Wis
tied Meschera-e l-Rek, fully $50 miles
away, between Lado and Kharteum
The wizard declared that two steamers
had just arrived at this point, and had
brought mails. He also described mi
nutely the appearance of an English
officer accompanying the boats.
DR.. Felkin ridiculed the story But
Emin Pacha took the thing more Sc
riously. He directed that the wizard
be brought before him and questioned
the fellow
Where did you go last night?"
Il was at Mesche1 a-el- REX"
What were you doing there?"
Il went to see some friends
What did you see?"
Il saw two steamers arriving from
Khartoum.''
sOh, this is nonsense! You could not
possibly have been at Meschera-el-
Rex
I was there the wizard replied en-
phatically. And with the steamer was
an Englishman, a short man with a
big beard"
We'll, what was his mission?"
He says that the great Pacha at
Khartoum had sent HIM, and he has
some papers for you. He is starting
overland tomorrow, bringing the pa
pers with him. and he will be here
about thirty-five days from now"
Dr. F,elkin says that thirty two days
later the E,nglishman did arrive at
Lado, and that he brought letters for
the party. The newcomer was Lupton
Bey. OF the wizard DIR. Felkin says
that, he is satisfied that the man was
never outside his native village in his
life.-New York Tribune.
