RICHARD FISHER ENTOMBED.
Caught in a Cave in the Tranquility Mine in Tombstone.

Sunday morning about II 80 o'clock Tombstone was severely agitated by the report that cave-in had occurred at the Tranquility mine and entombed Richard Fisher, one of the miners. Fisher is one of the best known and popular miners in that camp and has many friends in Eisbee. The Eews of his misfortune is a sad blow to his friends.
 The cave occurred on the POO foot level and was of considerable dimensions. Willing fellow miners started to work at once to rescue the entombed man, and the work has been pushed vigor- ously. Twenty-four hours after the &C., cident happened, according to the Pros- pector, "the miners got within good speaking distance of Fisher and the lat ter, with remarkable fortitude and eu- du"ance, assured his rescuers that he was not suffering and, although badly cramped, had plenty of air. When asked to tap the wall with rock that he might be better located, the answer of the imprisoned Fisher was that he could not move his hands or feet. He was pinioned to the wall, and yet not a murmur or groan while In the paroxysm of despair.'
 Since that time and up to II o'clock this morning, no sound had been heard from Fisher, and there now seems to be but little doubt that he is dead.
 The rescue work i5 still progressing as rapidly as possible, and time alone can tell what the brave rescuers will find when they reach the unfortunate. man, but all hope for the best.

Rose Released.

William Rose, who was arrested near Globe on suspicion Of being connected with the Camp Verde murder, was turned loose on Sunday. The Phoenix Herald says. "While Rose established a successful alibi, and while he was given a good name from Cochise county, he did not succeed in satisfactorily eX- plaining 10 the officers the objects of his movements when arrested. He told the off cers also that he was acquainted with members of the Dalton and "Biack Jack" gangs, and described trip which Tom Ketchum, the original and only Black Jack," alleged to have made last spring through Yavapai county. While the officers were aware of the trip prior to it's being related by Rose, the latter showed tEat he was perfectly familiar with the movements of the outlaw. Rose further intimated that when the truth of the Camp, Verde murder is re- vealed, ii it ever is, it will be found tnat members of the "Black Jack" gang were implicated in it.

The Unit of Copper.

In response to an inquiry as what constitutes the "unit" of copper, the Denver Post prints the followiIg:.
 "The unit of wieght is twenty pounds, avoirdupois. It is one per cent. of cop per in the ore and one per cent. of a ton, 2000 pounds, is twenty pounds. Each per cent of copper contained Tn the ore is equal to as many units. Ore carry ing 50 per cent. of copper tor 50 units) of copper, for example, is quoted at $4 per 100 pounds, is worth 60 cents per unit, and ff;y times sixty equals $3O a ton.
 ''For each decline or rise of cents in the quotation a deduction or addition of per cent. should be made. Ii tue quotation is S3.95 then l per cent. froia the price eco conts) should be taken, making 59 cents the settlement price, and so on down to whatever the quota ton may be, If the ore is quoted, for example, at s 75, cents from 60 leaves 55 cents per unit and ore carrying 50 per cent. of copper would amount to 50x55 equaling in value S37.5O per ton."

ARIZONA is free from tornadoes. In fact, the whole Rocky mountain region iea, stranger to the cyclone. The Mis- sissiapi valley is the home of the storm King. During the past eight years twenty-four destructive tornadoes have visited the central states and the Allan. tic seaboard. From 1889 to 1896 prop erty to the value of $3l 100000 was wrecked by tornadoes, as much as $23, = COG, 900 of this damage being effected by three tornadoes which passed through regions of dense population. These were the Louisville tornado of March 2. 1890, which destroyed property to tha SalRe of $l3. 900, ,000, and the tornado hurricane of September 20, 1896, which travelled from Cedar Keys to Washing ington, D. C., doing damage to the amount of $7,O00,OOO. The rotary veloc- hN of,the St. Louis tornado was 175 miles per hour.

Beautiful Hilo, the second city oi the Hawaiis, there is little doubt has shared the fate of Pomeil.

 According to the Albert's people, il was whriI, they left but the question of very short time when doomed Hilc would be destroyed. Already the peo. pie of the seaside city had begun to leave the homes. Valuables were being packed and household goods made ready for transportation beyond the reach of Pele's averaging fire. The lava was almost at the city's edge, and despite the various expedients resorted to by the authorities, steadily rolled on. It was advancing at the rate of four miles day and was less than five miles distant. The effort to divirt the stream by the use of dynamite was about to be made, but there was little hope that it would prove successful.
 The outbreak on the kona side of Mauna Loa continued with unabated force. From the new crater an immense quantity of lava is flowing. A number of fountains of the molten stuff are playing and are visible miles at sea- Examiner.

COMMERCE OF THE PHILIPPINES

Sugar and Hemp Are tao Frih
modities for Expectation.
A population that can never be as
simulated, and whose most active in
dustry is rebellion against foreign
domination, promises little in the way
of progress through internal change
other than through determination.
This may be accomplished by war, by
labor akin to slavery, or by contact
sequent disastrous results to the weak
er race. Even if the native population
be subdued, they will make unwilling
toilers; IL driven out of the larger and
more fertile islands, some form Of
labor must take their place. 1t will
not be American, it will not be Euro
pean, for it cannot be either. 1t must
be Asiatic; and, if left to free settle
ment, would be Chinese. Yet our laws
as applied to the Hawaiian islands
prohibit the introduction OF the Chi
nese, and is it right to apply another
rule to the Philippines-American ter
ritory? Products take care of them
selves. Climate and soil and a mild
pressure Of commercial exchanges have
determined that the Philippines should
contribute to the worlds trade a few
leading commodities. The most i'm
portant Is hemp, a natural monopoly;
for though many species of this plant
are found in the tropics, none pro-
duces the same or as good fiber as
is obtained in the Philippines. More
than that, attempts to raise this par
ticular variety elsewhere have failed.
The value of the exports of hemp in
1897 was $S,500000, and nearly equal
value OF sugar was also exported
S7,0OO,O0O, these two commodities
making nearly "A per cent OF the value
of the total exports. If three other
items be taken from the export tables
-copra (s2.6s7,97 tobacco in leaf
($1,323,445), and cigars ($S05, 000)-

about being an Annapolis cadet is the
chance they have Of going on summer
cruises. The second class men are now

men are required to do the work OF
common sailors; in fact, they do every
thing there is to be done on the boat.
They started in June, and will return
In September. They stop for week
or so at Plymouth, England, and ar
rangements have been made for them
to spend few days in London. Then
they sail for Lisbon, Portugal, and the
boys are wondering how SPANS neigh
bors will receive them. After that they
go to Gibraltar, and then home again
OF course there Is good deal of fun
TO be got out OF the trip. and a great
deal to see; but 1t Is a part Of their
four years course at the naval acad-
envy, and they have to work hard
scrubbing decks and taking in sails,
and the slightest disobedience Is pun

they stopped off Hampton Roads for a

drilling, including the DESERVING OF the
