STATEHOOD IN 1901.
Other Democratic Views Held by K.
 Delegate Smith,

Hon. Marcus A. Smith, accompanied by his wifs, came in this morning from the east and registered at the San Xav- fer On March 4th Mr Smith retired from service as de e'egate from Arizona to he succeeded by Hon J F. Wilson, of Prescott. Since congress closed it's last sess Q Mir. and Mrs. Smith have been travelling over tie eastern states. Mrs. Smith looks much improved in health while the ex-delegate is the same Mark.
 In brief talk which Citizen repre- sentative had with tue gentleman on the piazza of the San Xavier it was learned that he had pronounced views respect ing statehood and the DO sibi!ity of Ari- zona securing the coveted privilege. He said that in the early part of the winter session he coniered with the committee on Territorial Affairs, of which hs was a member. and that upon taking vote 10 report the statehood bill favorable to the House, the republicans taking the op- poste view It was 80 also, with the
 Home Rule bill before committee
 "In my opinion" said Mir. Smith, nothing will be done in the matter of statehood until after the nexl election. The measure is political one and it be- ing understood that, as the republican party is committed to the gold standard it does not want their silver advocates from Arizona to occupy seats in congress for the result of lat campaign made it a clear case that Arizona is for silver. Gen. Wilson will do his best, ss l have done, to get statehood for Arizona, but 1t will be hard task. Mckinley will undoubtedly he the republican candid ate to succeed himself for the presidency The prom lent democrats the country think that our party's chances m she next presidential campaign are exceed ingly bright, in view of many incidents connected with the recent war with Spain, especially 30 with reference 10 the Philippine question. That affairs is blot that cannot be easily wiped out The administration made fatal mistake in the matter of paying twenty millions for the Philippines and an undesirable class of people, such as the United States
 has for years used avery endeavor to exclude from onr shores"
 DIr. Smith saiSt that theTs were lots oi
 inquiries about Arizona. wherever he
 visited. in view of the rise Tn copper and the fact that Arizona is re ecognized, as one of the principal producers of the metal.

THROAT CUT WITH A
 RAZOR.
J0h1 GrifaH, Weigh Boss at the Crcwn Point Mine, Commit
 Suicide This Morning.

The startling as well as sad news, was circulated about o'clock to the effect that Mir John GrlFan' brother of Mrs. J. D. O'Brennan and the weigh boss at the Grown Point mine had com. m''ted sniciie by cutting his throat with razor.
 It seems that deceased had been drinking somewhat for the past few days brought on by financial troubles. At l2 o'clock when his room mate went there 10 wash up for dinner he could not enter the room, but later an en. trance was effected and the body of John Griffan was found in a pool of blood with his throat cut and razor laying near by.
 The evidence brought out at the Corners inquest held by Judge Theo- Maxwell and jury, found that deceased came to his deati. by his own hands while in a temporary fit of insanity.
 The deed has cast gloom over our little city, as he was we'll known and highly respected citizen.
 Deceased was man ofabout 40 years of age. HE HERALD joins with the many friends of the grief striken sister in offering condolences.
 Up to the time of going to press we have not learned at what time the fu- peral services will be held but probably to morrow afternoon. Gallup Cleaner,

ABLOODY FIGHT.
THE CRESCENT MEAT CUTTERS
 WRANGLE OVER RAZORS.
4 Narrow Escape From A Doub- Ie Homicide. PrOmptA ton of Frank Brown
 Saves Life,

The butcher shop of the Crescent Company was made place of excite mcnt and came near to witnessing 8 tragedy on Tuesday morning The usually quiet atmosphere af the essab- lishment was rent with bullets and oth- CT things on that morning.
 Ittranspired that Chas Korbe and Fred Meyers, the two cutters of the chop had few minutes of quite, and Korbe accused Meyers of getting away with two rszors from his apparel, one that belonged to young Will Tiffany. the Rough Rider, killed at San Juan, and the other belonged to major who alsc fell in battle there.
 "You are liar," said Meyers. After & few more warm words Korbe went out and soon returned d with & revolver. He came in and blazed away at Meyers. The first shot csught him at the base of he throat aud striking the collar button ranged out without doing much damage. Meyers fell over against the refrigerator and cut his head, and in moment Korbe was upon hIm. Frank Brown and another bystander inter fered and Meyers got on top. 1t was impossible to separate them, and Mey- CTS secured Korbe's gun and pulled 1t. The shot would doubtless have killed Korbe had not Brown pulled Meyers arm and the bullet buried itself Tn sack of beets close by Brown wrenched the gun away. Meyers took to his fists. and succeeded in giving his assailant g terrible beating before they were sep arated Help was called for and Frank SwartS and others came none too soon, for & few minutes more would have ter- minated Korbe s career. Meyers was dressed by Dr. Harper and Korbe by Dr. Hinch.
 Korbe was brought before Justice Maxwell and after the hearing was fined sl00 or three months. As he had not the money he took the months and was conveyed to Albuquerque and con- fined in tue county bsstle on Tuesday night belne taken in by Major Green.
 Manager Ohlin was bothered for help for some hours but with his usual prom ptitude secured men for the shop and kept the business going.
 The affair created considerable ex- cItemeDt for some hoUrs.
 We are pleased to say that Meyers IS out of danger and will soon be well.- Gallup Cleaner.

mate interests, the conservation Of
which will promote the general welfare.
There is no compensation for services
rendered by its members except
through Dement'S resulting from actions
taken by the chamber in matters of
public interest and then only in COM
mon with all other citizens.
No special privileges nor benefits
can accrue to its members through any
action of the chamber On the con-
trary it costs something to be a MEM
ber. There has to be funds raised to
support the chamber Funds raised to
defray the necessary expenses to in
vestigate conditions in order to ascer-
tain what is best to be done to pro-
mote the interest of Sacramento.
IT is anti-silurian, consequently pro-
gressive in character.
The fact that it's members represent
the varied interests in Sacramento
makes it an important factor when 1t
becomes necessary to obtain the in
dorsement of a plan or proposition by
a vote of the people.
+ have given this brief explanation of
the object and purposes OF the Cham
Der of Commerce that more Thorough
and definite understanding may be had
as to the responsibilities assumed by
some of it's officers when they accept
and enter upon the discharge Of their
duties These duties are not always
of the most pleasant nature and char
acter. On the contrary they almost
always require the devotion Of much
attention and time together with a
great deal of hard work.
This fact was we'll illustrated in the
way the retiring President Of this
chamber performed his duties. He
was jealous and unremitting in his ef-
forts to promote the general welfare Of
the citizens of Sacramento. Nothing
that he could do was left undone to ac-
complish this purpose. He was ever
ready and anxious to render all aid
| and do all things in his power to ad-
vance the interest of Sacramento.
In fact, he was a General. Not like
some we read about who said go on
boys, I am a little lame and will fol-
low you," but on the contrary he said:
Follow me in this crusade against ST.
lurianism. There must be no halt by
the wayside but the war against the
perpetuation Of old conditions must go
on until the enemies of Sacramento are
vanquished, and, if necessary. extermi-
mated, to the end that the city will be
placed upon a high plane Of progress
sion."
In consideration Of the great services
| rendered by Mr.. Lindley during his
term as President Of the Chamber Of
Commerce I beg leave to offer the fol-
lowing resolution:
Resolved, That vote Of thanks be
rendered to Douglas A. Lindley for the
very able, efficient and conscientious
manner in which he discharged the
duties of President of the Sacramento
Chamber Of Commerce during the last
year.
The resolution was adopted by ris-
| ing vote.
