COUNT MURAvIEFF DEAD.
Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sud-
denly Passes Away.

ST.. PETERSBURG, June 23.-Count
Michael Muravieff. Russian minister
of foreign affairs, died suddenly
Thursday. He had just finished his
morning cup of coffee and had ordered
his lunch, when he fell in an apoplectie
fit and expired in few minutes.
Count Muravieff secured for his
name immortal memory by his pro.
posals for universal peace, which re-
suited in the peace conference of the
nations that met at The Hague on the
call of the car a year ago. He was a
great politician, but he was greater as
a seer in diplomacy, and the trains oil
influence which his proposals set at
work will never lose their power

 To THE OASIS:
 Last week l read with no little in terest the communication, in your columns, from Democrat" t." asking how Mir. Duffy, rank democrat, Is he lding office by appointment from a republican board of supervisors. l think the question more nearly con- cerns republicans than democrats. What I want to know is why a repub- lican board of supervisors appointed to office two such dyed in the wool democrats as Sheriff Brodrick and A assessor Duffy?
 Upon very good authority l have been informed that Governor Murphy refused to appoint both Brodrick and D uffy to office in Santa Cruz county. He said, and very rightfully, that the re publican party would be held res ponsible for his appointments in the new county, and that he would appoint none but republicans to fill the offices. Upon he slate submitted to him for appointment by the Nogales push" Brodrick was billeted for sheriff and Duffy for recorder. But the governor aid "Non Then the executive made the appointments of list Of officials all supposedly republicans. There were Richardson. Atkinson, Barnett aud number of other staunch repub- licans. As stauncb, straight repub- lican of twenty years standing, l would like to know how it has come about that they are all out and demo- crats and populists were put in their places? That is question in which repu blicans hold deep interest. First, when they got in Peck to suc- ceed Richardson, they forced Atkin- son to resign and they put in Mir. R. EKey, who was rank populist in 1896. Then they forced out Barnett and put in Srodrick, who is not only demo- crat, but an incompetent. Then they segregated the offices of sheriff and assessor and made Duffy, another strong democrat, assessor And Brodrick and Duffy are the men whom the republican governor refused to appoint. There is certainly some ex- planation due not only to all straight republicans, but to Governor Murphy also

THE cANANEA CONSOLIDATED.
A Correction of a Recently Published
 Erroneous Statement.

Erroneous Statement.
 In the Arizona Gazette of Fridal March 9th, there appeared the follow ing:
 | he federal judge in Sonora, Mexico before whom the writ of amparo whicf had been asked for by w. c. Greene 1T the Cohre Grande litigation, has de cided the case against Mir. Greene aDo on a thorough examination of the case, has imposed very severe penal ty upon him for his conduct in the matter of taking possession of the property. So this property now seems to be in sight of that pros porous haven were litigation is unknown and pro- fits are made from the ores and not the pockets of it's owners. In con. nection with the courts action in imposing fine upon MT. Greene it is well to bear in mind the fact that when a man is in New York, it is diff. ticult to enforce decree of court is- sued in Mexico against him. w. c Green is reported to be selling stock in the New York City market, cover ing the property over which the liti- gation in Mexico arose, but under a different title.
 Tuesday morning THE OASIS inter- viewed his honor, judge of the federal court in and for Sonora, Lie. Maqueo CastellaDos, submitting to the gentle man a copy of the Gazette with the foregoing article, and that eminent jurist. who ranks as one of the fore. most in the republic, authorized this paper to deny in toto all the allega- tions therein contained. Judge Cas- tellanos said without reservation, that the entire article was absolutely false" In matters involved he had rendered no decision whatever against Mr. Greene, had imposed no fine, and the erroneous statement published in the Gazette is absolutely without foundation. These assertions Judge Castellanos directly authorized THE OASIS make public.
 Other articles have been published from time to time in Arizona newspap- CTS, which have asserted that unpaid checks of the Cananea Consolida- ted Copper Co.,, are scattered about Sonora, and that many unpaid bills of the company are likewise outstand ing in various parts of that state. THE OASIS is authorized and re- quested by MT. Stuart F. Johnson, chief engineer of the company, and the co 6dential agent for MT. w. c. Greene, the managing director, to sta te that there is not one unpaid check nor one unpaid bill of that company in the entire state of Sonora.
 With regard to earlier publications MT. Johnson requests THE OASIS to state that the titles to the prop perties involved were issued to MT, w. c. Greene, personally, and were never transferred to the Cobre Grande Cop Co.,, nor anybody else. Title to the entire property is vested Tn Mr. w. c. Greene, he is in possession and hold ing fast. The courts of Mexico are sustaining his ownership.
 This publication is authorized by George Mitchell general manager and Scott White, secretary, of the Cananea Consolidated Copper Co.

So far as the mass of voters are con-
cerned the standard of morals and intel
ligence Will differ very little in different
parties. The great majority Of voters
are honest and we'll meaning; but it often
happens that through the lack of atten-
ton OF the better element in a party to
the primaries and because of some spe-
cial desire on the part of fxers and the
baser element found in all parties to car
ry and control their party convention
that the worst element in party for a
time gets the upper hand. This is the
condition in the Republican party in

will make a fight for clean, honorable,
capable men to hold the offices of Sum-
ner county. Republicans have been
nominated and are now before the peo-
pie against whom the VOICE has not
said and will not say one word. They
are competent, able and above reproach.
If anyone will bring substantial evidence
OF the truth of any such charges as have
been made and admitted to be true
against James Lawrence and ]. NJ. Ready
against any candidate on the Fusion
ticket that name will be taken out Of the
paper. This proposition is good now and
it will be good as long as the paper
remains under its present management.
Every statement made has been made in
the interests Of good government and be-
cause the facts should be given to the
public. We have no fear of results.
The voters Of Sumner county, especially
i'll local affairs, will discriminate well
and select the best men for public Office.
A careful investigation fthe personnel Of
the tickets and an honest expression of
choice best for the interests of Sumner
