Chacon, who escaped jail at SOl0mOn vile about three years ago, while under death sentence for the murder of Pablo Salcido. is making his home in tue fastneSs of the mountains along Eagle Creek and is being supplied wit h provisions, ammunition. etc, by bis friends in Morenci.
 Lordsburg Liberal: Geo. E. Hop- klns, who holds a sub contract under Streeter x Lusk for work on the Nor enci Southern. is preparing for big explosion. There is side of rocky hill, near Guthrie that he wants to cave down. He has drilled number of holes about twenty feet deep and packed over hundred kegs of powder into them. When every thing is ready which will be in few days, it is ir- tended to fire all this powder at once. It is expected it will make young earthquake. and loosen an enormous quantity of rock
 Prescott Courier: Report is that rather unfortunate accident occurred at the Lone Pine mine last Friday morning as the night force was about to go off shift. It seems that nine blasts had been put in and five of them had been "spitted" when one Of them went off, the cause being sup posed to be defective fuse. George Emery was in the bottom or the shaft and Al Mar hal and Dan Marshal stood at the top Emery aud Dan Marshal were unhurt, but Al Mar shal was struck in the face by the flying rock and one of his eyes was put out.
 Graham Bulletin: Last Saturday, at Morenci, Ramon Rodriguez tanked up and declared that he was going to kill two or three Morenci officers and went home for his Winchester. De- putty Sheriff Keppier loaded his shot gun and laid in wait for SeiIor Ramon. Presently he put in an appearance and Keppler commanded him to throw up his hands He declined at first, however, but after looking into the muzzle of that shot gun for minute down went his gun aad up went his hands Sheriff Clark took him to the county jail Sunday and he will stay there until the next grand jury meets charged with resisting an officer.
 Range News: While William Hurd was firing up lime kiln at Dos Cabe gas, an explosion occurred in which MT. Hurd was horribly burned about the heads, arms and chest, the skin peel ing from both of his hands, and he suffered horrible agonies. Earnest Cochran started immediately for Will COX to call the assistance of Dr. Allen. He rode the distance from Dos Cabe. gas to Wilcox in the remarkable short time of one hour, and Dr. Alton drove out in two hours. The wounds
  of the injured man were dressed and he was made as comfortable as DOS. sible. But slight hopss are entertain of his recovery. Mir. Hurd was for a long time the proprietor of the Will COX House, and has hosts of friends in this section who deplore the sad mis- fortune that has so suddenly befallen him, and sincerely hope that he will speedily recover from his injuries.

The two great. New York papers
the World and the Journal-will sup
port Bryan with all their might in the
coming contest In 1896 the World
supported the gold Democratic ticket.
Recently it said: This country can
endure any change in its currency. Such
changes, though they may cause much
disturbance to business and great Pc
cuniary losses, do not touch the foun-
dation nor affect the structure of Our
government But imperialism, militar-
ism and monopoly, the real and only
issues Of the election, strike at the basic
principle and threaten the very existence
OF the republic. A country with subject
possessions secured by conquest and
governed by force is not republic
And where plutocracy rules democracy
becomes merely name, without force
or effect 1t is for these reasons that
third ticket this year is not only un-
called for but would be even more farci-
cal than it was in 1866"

About the year 1875 when the Brit
ish government was negotiating with
the Pope to get veto on his appoint
ment of Irish bishops, the great Daniel
O'Connell said: I would as soon re-
ceive my politics from Constantinople
as from Rome. For the head of my
church I have the highest respect; but
in the present case put theology-of
which know nothing, and desire to
know nothing-out of my consideration
wholly. 1t is on the ground of its dan
ger to civil liberty that I objected to
the late bill. 1t would have the effect,
if passed into law, of placing in the
hands of the minister new and extern
sive source of patronage, and for that
reason would rather that the Catholics
should remain forever without emanci-
patton than that they should receive it
upon such terms.

THE BRITISH IN BAD SHAPE.

The war in South Africa is still going
on, and the British have not yet been
able to destroy the Bocr forces under
Commandant Botha, who is proving
himself worthy successor OF General
Cronje, the hero OF Paardeberg. In the
recent battle between Roberts and
Botha, fifteen miles southeast OF Pre-
toria. the Beers were obliged to retreat,
but they succeeded in carrying off their
artillery, and not one of them fell into
the hands OF the enemy. The Repub-
lican general displayed great ability in
fighting on the defensive and Lord
Roberts considers him foeman worthy
of his strategy. A dispatch from Maca-
dorp says that the British warrior sent
Botha message complimenting the
bravery OF the burghers and suggesting
disarmament, saying that the surrender
would be without dishonor to them and
would prevent much suffering. General
Botha asked six days to consider and
Roberts consented to five days. Finally
Botha declined to accept the proposal
and hostilities were renewed. When
the Beers learn OF the trouble in China
they will put forth their best efforts to
keep the British in Africa for the rest
of the year. Before long the Beers
may be assured by Roberts that they
can have their independence and that
England will be their friend instead of
their enemy for evermore. When Rus
STA moves on India and gobbles up a
slice of China en- route, the English jim
goes will be glad to submit the Anglo
Boer question for arbitration to their
friends at Washington and John Hay
will be happy to accommodate them.
The following views Of the Dublin
Freeman's Journal on the South Afri-
can war and the lack of success OF the
British bully in conquering the brave
burghers will be read with interest by
Irishmen in the Northwest, though it
was written two weeks ago:

AMERICAN MISSIONARIES ABROAD.

n short time ago Secretary Hay de-
manded some $500, 900 of the Sultan of
Turkey to compensate American mis-
sionares for damage done to their prop
crty in his dominion, and it was thought
for while that a fleet of warsllips
would be sent to Constantinople to COM
pei the Sick Man OF Europe" to pay
the bill. Up to the present time, how
ever, his imperial Mofammedan majesty
has refused to pay cent, and the mat
ter has been dropped for some reason
or other known only to the powers
that be" at Washington. 1t is supposed
that the Mckinley administration feared
the malign influence Of the Sublime
Porte over the Moros OF the Sulu ISL
ands, and thinking discretion to be the
better part OF valor it left the question
of the missionaries go by default
The missionaries. in China have
earned the dislike Of the Boxers and
much anxiety is felt for their safety in
this country by Presbyterians, Baptists,
Mcthodists and Congrcgationalists who
have established missions in the dis
turbcd districts In the locality where
all the trouble is occurring the Ameri-
can missionaries of the various sccts

from none of them have been massa-
cred by the followers of Confucius.
though it is reported that some native
Christians have become victims OF their
wrath.
If the American missionaries in China
entertain the same views as Bishop
Earl Cranston, who recently returned
from the Orient, we are not surprised
that they are hated by the subjects OF
the queen dowager. In an interview at
Denver, Col, the other day, the Ameri-
can Protestant bishop said that the civ
ilized nations must rule in China, and
like soldier of the sword, but not oil
the cross, he exclaimed: ITO the world
it is worth any cost in bloodshed if we
can make the millions Of China true
and civilized. I would disregard all
the red tape of the world and break all
treaties to accomplish this object. The

ernor Of Kentucky and his prominence
at the Philadelphia convention the Chi
cago Chronicle says: Taylor has not
been left in the obscurity of the mass
of delegates. He has been given con-
spicuity by the party chiefs. These
chiefs not only see to it that he is ac-
companied by detectives on his way to
and from the convention hall, but they
decree him special recognition so that
there can be no question about the reg
ularity and excellence of his standing
in the party. For the first time has

welcoming and honoring one who is
under indictment as participator in

Major Estes G. Rathbone, the &C
complete of Nicely in the Cuban postal
frauds, is an accomplished rascal. He
is a graduate of Yale and helped Mark
Hanna to a seat in the United States
senate. When informed he would be
prosecuted he wrote to Perry Heath as
follows: IF I am arrested, or if 1 am
molested I will pull down the columns
of the temple, and although perish in
the ruins, there will be others who will
go down with me-" By "others" he
meant Hanna. 1t is needless to say that
Rathbone will be dealt with gently, and
that his refined and sensitive feelings
will not be ruffled in the least degree.

The Canadian parliament recently lis
tened to a speech from Mr.. Henry
Bourassa, which elected groans and
Kisses from the Tory members thereof.
He spoke for the Beers and solemnly
declared that the war in South Africa
is one of the most unfortunate events
of English politics during the present
century. Amidst excitement and inter-
ruption he said: "Why, as the leader
Of the opposition has said, the British,
government sent to South Africa an
army of 100000 men, composed not only
of the best regiments of England, Scot
land and Ireland, but including also the
best soldiers that could be gathered
from the British colonies, and it took
eight months for that powerful army
to conquer an army of poor peasants
drawn from a total population oil
100000 souls, men, women and chill
dren." For uttering this truth an
Orangeman named Clarke Wallace
called him traitor" whereupon Bou-
rassa proceeded: II have just heard
the member for West York speaking Of
treason. Mr.. Speaker, never in any
part of Canada has my voice been
raised to ask any portion of the Can
adam people to rise in arms against
the British government, the British
crown, as Mr.. Wallace has. will main.
