 TREES THAT WILL GROW.-Mr. Geo. Il. Smith, the gardener at the caD- 1toI grounds, does not believe that the people Ot Phoenix are taking adyan tage or the opportunities for rais1ng trees and Shrubbery afforded bv the climate. Speaking Of this matter ves- terday, he said that there were twenty one varities of palms which would do
 well here, while only three are being
 cultivated. These three, singuIarly
 enough, are not so beautiful or desir-
 able as the other eighteen. The most
 beautiful is the blue palm or tly6hfa
 Amata, which may be seen at the capl-
 tol grounds. Other varieties are the
 Japanese ian palm or ChamlerI ps humllis, the weeping palm or Iaba!
 palmetto, and the Coco Australis
 There is another tree in the capitol grounds, the Evergreen p0p:ar much more beautiful than any other ever green now grown in the valley. The trunk is straight and tall and the leaves are broad. The botanical name of the tree is the brachychiton diver

The Supervisors Want to Make a Sale
 First.

The board of supervisors had many matters to consider yesterday, ap- proving bonds, granting relief to the indigent and hearing petitions on vari- oJs subjects.
 The petition of Dl Chandler for a right of way from his electric plant on the Consolidated canal to Hayden's corner near Tempe, was granted From that point into town Q private right of way has been prom ised.
 Thomas King, :. A. Davidson and L. R. Shaw. who had been appointed referees in the matter of the new Dutch ditch. submitted their report This is the ditch which the city began constructing past the residence of c. B. Norton, who temporarily stopped proceedings by means of an injunction. The terms of the report, the super visors believe, will be satisfactory to all parties.
 The board took step in the matter of opposing an extension Of the city limits by directing District At toIney Flannigan to appear in the case Of the peti5iOn affecing Univea siIy ad- dition. This opposition is not based on a principle of antagonism to ex- tension. It is intended only to delay the annexation of the old county hos pital property for a short time.

 The body of the other tr4ncp was repelled by the negative .ctus and thrown about one hurd- feet distant against. a positive snetic cactus where it underwent similar process to the one just described.
 We left the sickening scene with sad hearts and with nothing to identify the victims. After and just before 9 great storm the attractive or repellant power Of the cactus is indescribable. Calves, birds and young colts are at tracted. impaled, drawn in and quickly converted by the digestive juices Of the cactus into the thick muciagenous sub stance just described.

THE NET FRINGE,

Net fringes have come around again with the regularity of all things in fashion which repeat themselves. They are used for sash ends for mantlss and gowns, and particularly pretty are the netted insertions set in above the hem of a cashmere overdress, either enc or two rows. as you fancy, and fully two inches wide. It ais 3 very simple mat ter to learn to net, so these fashion able trimmings can be easily made by amateurs in the fringe business.-N York Sun.

 Joseph Mulhatton thus writes the FIorence Tribune desc-iD,ng the mag covered by him near the Ripsey mine in PiIal county:

 The magnetic cactus you wrote about in last weeks Tribune is a species of the giant sahuaTa It is found in many places between Casa Grande and Flor ance, between Florence and Meca and between Florence and Riverside.
 There is q belt of the earth within a radius of fifty miles cf Florence that is very magnetic, no doubt caused by vast beds Of copper or some other mag Eetic mineral that Underlies 1t all, and this species Of cactus from it's fibroGs nature acts like q telegraph instrument to receive and discharge the earths vast surplus Of magnetism, not re- quiTed by the moons and suns mag netic attraction.

meets.

Philadelphia. April 23.-John Wana-
maker has made the following state
ment in regard to the acquital of ex-
Senator Quay and the latter's appoint
ment by the governor as United States
senator:
THE acquittal of Senator Quay will
be disappointment to every lover of
justice and every friend of good gov
eminent throughout the United States.
1t records with emphasis the difficulty
OF convicting potent political people
charged with crimes, no matter how
clear and convincingly overwhelming
the evidence may be. The story of the
corrupt use and speculation in public
money in Pennsylvania is an old one
and has been matter of notorious ac-
cusation against long line of state
treasurers and political bosses for
many years.
THE first shout of defiant exul tation
of his acquittal has proceeded from
the governor of the commonwealth,
who has promptly appointed him a
United States senator without author
ity and in violation of the law and in
defiance of the will of the people as
expressed by the votes of the legisla
ture. 1t is fitting in every way that
the capstone should thus have been
put on the edifice of boss rule and ma
chine jobbery by the Quay representa-
tive in the governors chair"

A tripartite exchange of prisoners
will be arranged if it is possible to

GERMANY PROTESTS.


Cogblan OF the Raleigh.
Washington, April 26.-The German
government has entered formal pro-
test against the language used by Cap
tain Coghlan of the Raleigh, at the
Union League club banquet in New
York last Friday night.
The protest was lodged with Secre-
tary Hay through the German ambas-
sador Herr Won Holleben. Secretary
Hay replied that the language APP
peared to have been used at dinner
in club, and could not be regarded
as an official or public utterance in the
sense that would warrant the state de-
partment in acting. However, the
navy department was fully competent
to take such action as the case seemed
to require.
With this statement the ambassador
was content for the time at least, and
will doubtless await reasonable
lenght Of time upon the navy depart
ment.

Thousand regulars are to be sent to re-
inforce General Otis at Manila, as soon
as the necessary marine transportation
can be provided. The first regiment
ordered will probably be the Seventh
artillery. of which the two light bat
teries, c and M, have been ordered
home from Porto Rico for the purpose.
they Will be sent at once to San Fran
cisco, to await an available transport
steamer
with the regulars already ordered
and on their way to Manila. General
Otis will have an effective force of
81 ,27S men. in addition to the recruits
being sent every few days for the reg
ulars already in the Philippines. This
force is to DE raised to 35, 900 men by
the time the aggressive operations can
be pressed in the early autumn.
The volunteers to be returned to this
country FROM Manila, number barely
l2,OOo, many Of whom are greatly de-
bilitated, so the determination to send
$4,000 able bodies of regulars to take
their places is calculated to show the
re bel leaders that the United States is
terribly in earnest about meeting its
responsibilities for preserving order
and commanding respect throughout
the archipelago
