WIrH this number the ARIZONA SILVER BELT enters upon its twenty third volume with reasonable assilr- ance of long life before it. The past year was the most eventful in its his tory having witnessed the enlargement of the paper and n gratifying increase in circulation and advertising patronage. On the other hand we have sustained an irreparable loss by the death of Judge A. H. Hackney. who founded the SILVER BELT in 1878, and to whose ability and wisdom the paper largely owes its enyiable reputation. Thank ing our patrons for past favors, we will endeavor to merit continu- ance of their confidence and support, and hope to share in the prosperity which we beieve Globe and Gila county is destined to enjoy in the near future.

THE Standard Oil monopoly, whose benefcence is exiolled by trGst de lenders generally, and which lately declared quarterly dividend oi S2o,- 900, 900 or 20 per cent on its capital stock, has advanced the price of some grades of Illuminating oil no less than 7c gallon since last September And these things are permitted by the laws and fostered by the politics of n cOuu- try which pretends to be most highly civilized and progressive. If Is little wonder that politics is to seek to over throw such a system of its own crea- tion in the coming presidential cam paigu, apd, if the opposition to mon opoly is half as vigorous as its deieuco, the holders of monopoly stocks may have something to think about before the close of 1900.

at ) o clock was fixed for the recall of the
boycott on all the company's lines.
When the strike was settled July
there were some mutterings of discon-
tent, and the dissatisfaction has grown
daily The men maintain the company
has failed to keep the agreement, and
dozen or more instances were cited tend
ing to prove there had been breach OF
faith. Meetings were held and commit
tees appointed to procure proof of inf
deity on the part of the company. At
a meeting of the Street Railway Mems
Union Monday batch of affidavits were
presented that men had been employed
by the company since July ?, i'll violation
of the terms of agreement. At ses.
sion lasting several hours the committee
called a mass meeting of the men for this
morning and to recommend at this meet
ing that the strike be declared on again.
The Central Trades and Labor Union met
later and indorsed the action OF the com
inittee.
The company, through President Whit
taker, addressed a letter to the men de
nying any intentional breaking of the
agreement and declaring its intention to
live up to the agreement in letter aud
spirit
/ Fred Lohman, attorney for the COM
pany, appeared at the meeting and offer
ed to leave the question as to whether
the company broke faith to Joseph Folk,
counsel for the men. The proposition
was ignored, and by unanimous vote the
strike renewed.
The men claimed yesterday that ver-
bal agreement was entered into concur
rently with the written agreement, and
under the verbal agreement the company
agreed to re-employ the old men in 90
days, seniority in the service determn-
ing the priority of the employment. 1t
was claimed that Rev. DIR. ]. w. Boise
instructed the men that such an agree
nent existed in a speech at the West End
Coliseum. The officers of the company
declare there was no such verbal under
standing, and that the only agreement
made by them was the written agreement
pub ished at the time.

SAN FRANCISCO, July Io.-Hong Kong
papers that arrived here today by the
Rio Janeiro stated that through the in
flueuce of Yu Hsien, governor of Shan
Tung, whom the German officials had
cashiered last year, Peking officials have
persuaded themselves that the Boxers
constituted society that may be used
to advantage by the Chinese against for
eigners. Consequently in their procla-
nations and orders to officials instruc-
tions have been given to prosecute Box
ers who act singly. but will leave all "pa
triots" any gymnasts who affect militar,

BERLIN, July Io.-The foreign Office
claims to have no later authentic news
from Peking than that published, and re-
mains in doubt as to the fate of the
whites there. Regarding the attitude of
the powers, foreign Office official says
"The harmony now is standing the first
serious test--the sending of another Jap
anese division to CHINA reinforcement
which the commanders at Tientsin will
especially welcome. There has been no
objection to the landing of foreign forces
by any of the allied powers, if they will
only hasten their ARRIVAL"
The British charge d'affaries. Lord
Cough, said to representative of the
Associated Press "The powers are not
engaged in new interchange of views
regarding Japan's most frequent Inquiry,
but each power has answered for itself.
The powers are not in hurry to formu.
late more remote plan of political ac-
ton in China, as the first thing necessary
is the relief of Peking."

church board. 1t was from Annoy, and
read as follows:
Everything and everybody all we'll.
Will act under instructions given
The message was not signed, but is
supposed to be from Rev. +. w. Pitcher
to whom message of inquiry had been
sent. The word 'everythng' is sup
posed to refer to mission property. The
instructions referred to were that no risks
were to be run, and that nothing should
be omitted to insure the safety of all the
missionaries.
Rev. II. X. Carroll of the Methodist
Episcopal missionary society, said today
that he was more hopeful than he had
been last week, and he would not be sur
prised if all the missionaries should yet
escape. He said that in previous disturb
ances the Chinese missionaries had proved
remarkably faithful tC the missionaries,

Empress DOwager Active.

A dispatch to news agency, dated
Tientsin, July 2, says: "The empress
dowager. far from being dead is actively
striving to prevent the factions fighting.
Prince Tuan is quite willing that Sheng
should be decapitated. but the dowager
will not allow this. Prince Tuan has de-
cided that he will take full responsibility
He proposes to retake Tientsin and Taku.
Outside of Peking, except in the Pe-chi-li
and Shan Tung country, the people are
supremely Indifferent"
However this all may be, the allies at
Tientsin are having an exceedingly un-
pleasant time. The last engagement of
which news has come through occurred
on July 9th. The Chinese artillery open
ed at dawn. Their Gre was more accu-
rate and their ammunition better; the shells
exploded with precision, setting fire to
several buildings. H. M. S. Terrible
guns again quieted the Chinese, who
shifting their artillery, reopened the at.
tack, but thunder storm breaking, the
Chinese suddenly quit. The allies imme-
diately attacked and drove the Chinese
from their works, but lost 30 killed OF
wounded in so doing.

Missionaries Safe.

New YORK, July 9.-Rev Joshua Kim
Der, associate secretary of the Protestant
Episcopal Missionary society, today re-
ceived cablegram from Bishop Graves,
in answer to one of inquiry sent on Sat-
urday. Bishop Graves is the bishop of
Shanghai and the Yang Use Kiang val
ley. His cablegram reads;
"All safe. Ladies in Japan. Notify
friends.
The Protestant. Episcopal church has
no mission IN North China, but is has sta
tions for thousand miles along the great
Yang Use river. There have been no
disturbances in that section as yet, but
the cablegram shows that Bishop Graves
is not taking any chances.
Mr. Kimber understands the bishops
message to mean that all the white wo-
men in the Protestant Episcopal missions
in China, wherever situated, have already
gone to Japan.
A reassuring message was also received

says:
One United States marshal instantly
killed and three desperadoes mortally
wounded and captured is the record of a
fight OIL the Arkansas silver, 40 miles east
of here, last night. A messenger from
the scene of the fight brought the news

TIENTsIN. July S Thursday .-Yester-
day large force Of Chinese troops at
tackled the settlement from two direc-
tions-one from west of the arsenal and
the other upon the railway sutton OH the
opposite bank of the river. The Chinese
evidently now have more capable COM
mander The attack from the arsenal
was directed at what is practically the
weakest point of the defense, which has
hitherto not been pretsed. The Chinese
advanced on this side across an open
plain without cover and the attack was
easily repulsed by the British guns. The
enemy made simultaneous attack upon
the station with large infantry force, COW
cred by the fire of II guns. The British
replied with two of III. M. S. Terrible s
I2-poun ders and five smaller guns, while
the combined forces of British, French,
Russian and Japanese infantry moved
out to deal with the Chinese attack. The
artillery practice was excellent and the
allied troops suffered severely from a we'll
directed shell fire The Japanese, whose
behavior was splendid, executed we'll
conceived movement and succeeded in
turning the Chinese left and driving the
enemy from their strong position among
the irragation trenches.

A PLOT TO
MURDER THE
PRESIDENT

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July II.
1t was discovered yesterday
that a plot had been laid by
Spanish and Cuban sympathiz-
ers to assassinatc President Nc
Kinley. The conspirators had
headquarters in New York. An
elaborate scheme had been out
lined and the chief actors i'll the
tragedy had been selected. One
of the conspirators became
frightened at the provable con-
sequences of the crime, and he
revealed the plot to the national
republican committee. The
White House is now under a
strong guard and detectives
will watch the president until
the conspirators are made pow
erless.

DEATH OF MR. LEE.

In the death of Mr. William Lee or
Pap" as he was affectionately
termed by all who knew him, our
county has lost one of its most respect
ed citizens. His long life was one of
kindness and consideration for the
welfare of his fellow man and its peace
full though sudden ending was a fit
ting termination of his we'll spent
time. He comes from a family of
patriots who were always ready to
respond to the country's call. His
grandfather was a soldier in the Revo-
lutionary war; his father fought in
the war of 1912; he himself was des-
perately wounded in the Mexican
war; his brother was IN the Civil war,
and, today, his son Walter is in the
Philippines, having served out an en-
listment with his company in the late
Spanish unplesantness.
Mr. Lee possessed fund of reminis-
fences and his description of the men,
orable nineteenth day of April 1861,
when the sixth Massachusetts passed
through Baltimore, which was recent
ly published in The Agis, is extreme
ly interesting. 1t is men like him who
compose the bone and sinew of our
Republic.

WILL CARRY CALIFORNIA.

James D. Phelan, the progressive
mayor of San Francisco and delegate
at large from California, has this to
say of the Kansas City nominees:
Both the nominees and the plat
form meet with the hearty approval
of California Democrats. Although
San Francisco has been benefited to
the extent of millions of dollars by the
wars of conquest in the Orient, the ex-
penditure of government money is q
mere bagatelle in comparison with the
labor question that is the natural out
come of our operations in the far east
Labor on the Pacific coast is be-
coming thoroughly alarmed at the
threatened influx from the orient.
Japanese, Chinese and Malays. it is
feared, will prove a menace to Ameri-
can labor, and but a short time ago
the Japanese coolies in the mines
throughout the State were expelled
from the workings, SO great was the
feeling.
81 believe that the Democracy will
carry California this year. The
strength of the two parties Is about
equally divided 80 far as the ordinary
issues are concerned, but this Ques-
ton of labor is going to prove of vast
advantage on November 6, and the
Republican ticket 10 not going to be
benefited"

UNIQUE PERSONALITIES.

Few men have sprung SO suddenly
into enlarged fame and influence. and
have maintained themselves therein
with such fervor Of devotion from
their fellows as Mr.. Bryan.
OF strong and commanding physi-
que, of resonant and comprising voice,
of brilliant imagination, an earnest
and patient student of American his
tory, he leaped into the leadership Of
his party four years ago, receiving its
nomination for the Presidency, and,
after a campaign tour as attractive as
it was extensive and long.continued,
though defeated, fell not from his high
estate, but kept himself SO fully and
proudly in the hearts of his followers
that he has been for the second time,
and now unanimously, made their
standardbearer in the present contest
for the Presidency of these United
States.
Such hold upon a party, and such
a response by it, indicate him as no
ordinary man. What is the secret of
his poweri
Is it not in the thoroughness of his
convictions and the fearlessness OF his
advocacy of them? lsit not, in short
the recognition Of him as a man and
"a that ?" Take his action, for in
stance, on the question Of the free
coinage Of silver. Mr.. Bryan does not
advocate this as a party cry merely;
he demands that the party accept 1t
or reject him, because he believes it
the only correct and American solu-
ton Of the money question. Politi-
clans gather around him to argue as to
how to win at the polls; evasion, COM
promise, silence, are suggested. But
he prefers to he right, as he esteems it,
than to be President. and stands or
falls with free silver"
a valuable lesson is hereby given to
the American youth, namely, fidelity
to ones conviction, even at cost of
success; a beacon light shines forth to
the American voter, namely, that Mr..
Bryan, if elected, will put into law
what he incorporates in a platform
and teaches on the hastings and q
stern and deserved rsbuke to the
trucking politician who wants the
offices and cares not how he gets them,
namely, that principles are moro en-
during than platforms, and convic-
tions than policies.
One may differ with Mr.. Bryan in
his proffersd solution OF the questions
OF the day, but at the same time ad.
mire and appreciate his courage Of
conviction and his faithfulness to his
conceptions of duty. This country is
the stronger for men who seek not
place but principle. who stand not for
plumber but conviction. The gulf that
separates William j. Bryan from
Richard Croker. let i'd omne genus"
is as wide as that between Lazarus and
Dives, Methodist.
