London, May 7.-7:20 p. m.-The war office has received the following dis patch from Lord Roberts dated Small deel, May 7. 10:55 a. m:
 General Hunter after defeating the enemy May 4, joined hands with Paget, near Warrenton. The enemy left thir- teen killed and wounded on the ground and we captured several prisoners. Our losses were slight. Hunter speaks in high terms of the gallantry of the Yeo- manry under Colonel Mayrick. The enemy have retired from the front of Thabanchu and the exceedingly strong position they held is now occupied by Bundles division"
 As the deadlock at Warrenton has been broken and the Boers are retreat ing, there is nothing formidable except distance, between Warrenton and Ma feking. The most hopeful advices from Mafeking on April 22 were that the gar rison would be barely able to hold out for month. At that time the fever was spreading.

OFFICIAL RINGS OF THE POPE.

The popes have three special rings Tor their use. The first is generally rather a plain gold one with an intaglio or cameo ornament; this is called tne papaI ring The second one, called the pontifical ring, because used only when the pope pontifcates or officiates at grand ceremonies, is an exceedingly precious one. The one worn on these occasions by Plus TX was made during the reign of Plus VII, whose name IS cut on the inside. It is of the purest gold, of remarkably fine workmanship, set with a very large oblong diamond. It cost 3O,O00 francs (e1,250), and has a contrivance on the inside by which it can be made larger or smaller to fit the wearer's finger. The Fisherman's ring so called because it has a figure of St. Peter in a bark throwing his net into the sea, is a plain gold ring with an oval face, bearing the name of the reigning pope engraved round and above the figure of the apostle. The ring weighs an ounce and a half. It was first a private and not an official ring, though it has been used in the lat ter way since the fifteenth century. and is now the official seal of the popes and the first among the rings.-Gold5n Penny Magazine

Hon. L. c. Hughes of Tucson has been appointed a member of the com mittee from the national monetary con- vention at Denver to notify MT. Bryan of the proceedings of the convention. This will be edifying news to a large circle of democrats in Tucson and Phoenix who thought MT. Hughes was dead and buried four years ago and that he had since dwelt in political tor ment. It will be remembered that MT
 Hughes came unexpectedly out of a hole eight years ago and earned the gratitude and friendship of MT. Cleve- land to the great disgust of a large ma jority of the democratic party by whom it was believed even at that remote date that Hughes was dead. We be- lieve that in the impossible event of MT. Bryan's election MT. Hughes would be found in smiling occupation of the most prominent place in that section of the pie counter set aside for the use of Arizona. When MT. Hughes is not en- gagged in active and remunerative oc- cupation he puts in his time thinking.

against them? We do not believe he will. On the contrary, we baliave that if strong, untrammeled man is nom- mated for delegate to congress by the republicans this fall and the campaign is made on clear cut national issues, he will be elected. There is not single territorial issue worthy of the name to enter into the coming contest. The dem ocr'ats can only talk anti-this and anti-that, diluted with worn out 16 to platitudes. They are at great disad- vantage. They can only spar for open ings and will be on the defensive from the opening of the campaign to its close
 There is every chance for a sweeping republican victory with statehood as a positive sequence. It is time that the leader was found.

The dispatches of yesterday said that the czar wept when he received the
 details of the death of
 A his minister at Pekin,
 ROYAL Baron de Giers and his MOURNER. wife. That weeping was
 not a good sign for China. International tragedies have seldom given monarchs cause for tears. For every tear drop that coursed down the czar's face a great stream of blood will flow in China. A barbaric war will no doubt be waged against those barbarians. Russia was charged early in the course of the present difficulty with having sought a cause of war. It has been given in fuller measure than could have been desired. There can be little desire anywhere in the world. even if there were power to interfere with Russia's vengs ance, however terrible and cruel it may be- Her cause of course is no greater than that of any of the other powers but she will probably punish China more relent- lessly than any other nation would or could do.

One hundred and eleven years ago yesterday the foundation was laid in
 Paris for the Column of
 FALL July. No skilled work
 OF THE men were employed in
 BASTILE. this great task and per-
 haps 1t occurred to no one in all France that a monument of popular liberty would be erected on that spot. The foundation was made of the massive stones composing the tow CTS and curtains of the Bastile which were thrown into its dungeons and the moat surrounding it.
 The Bastile had existed 420 years. It was begun in 1869 by Charles V as royal fortress. It was afterward changed into a state prison, that is a prison for offenders against the state. generally including princes, nobles and officers high in rank. The cruelties practiced upon it's prisoners were well known but it was not until after it's conversion into jail when these cruel ties began to be practiced upon the common people that the fate of the Bastile was sealed. Many of the most powerful personages in France had been confined within its walls. Many a glorious career was ended there in- gloriously, yet it never occurred to the nobility that the Bastile ought to be destroyed.
 But when tailors and shoemakers began to be imprisoned the people rose and on July IA. 17S9. the Bastile fell and the old monarchy began to totter to its fall. The only thing taught by the end of the Bastile is the irresistible power of the people even though they have been deprived of their liberties for centuries. No govrn- ment however despotic has been strong enough to stand before even disorgan- ized masses. The liberty which the French people first obtained was a blood riot. But that was to be ex- pected. There must have been com pnsation for the oppression of years. Not painlessly doth God recast and mould anew nation" The Reign of Terror was the furious heat in which France was softened for recasting.

 ]; THE FAULT FINDER .

Just week ago I published in this column an honest and able def5nse of the Salt River valley climate in the summer time. The next day with al most incredible ingratituGe the weather maker set about proving how prone mortals are to err. Among the state ments I made was this; that however warm the days in Phoenix might be- there was no record of an unpleasant night. We have had no decent night since. I also said that no man had ever died of prostration by heat In order to make me out a falsifi5r man with no interest in the community and nonItaxpayer, went about drinking unknown brands of whisky on Friday night, and yesterday morning permit ted himself to be found as cold as anything but ice can be in this town ship, and dead. A coron5r's jury with greater regard for the reputation of the ddad than for absolute truth, re- turned a verdict attributing the cut ting off of this man to heat. What can do when the weather maker and cor Oners' juries conspire to break down my character for veracfty? That yer dict is a matter of record. The last six nights are also matters of record and, unfortunately. my noble defense of the climate fs too, matter of rec ord.

The owner of the dog Is a subscriber to both morning papers. Almost every morning he finds Tha Republican in the possession of his dog, and the dog is a violent and vo- racious reader. The animal had never disturbed the Gazette and wh5n his master tried to signify to him that he might have it. he smelled of it, crawled under the house and refused to come out for breakfast. Even a. dogs appe- ttte may be disturbed. Even the ami nal himself may be driven from a wagon laden with offal. if offal of a still more objectionable character be thrown on.

NEW YORK.

The prospects for republican Success in the coming campaign in Arizona
 are good. Much better
 TERRIFIC indeed than two years
 RIAL RE- ago when Col. Brodie,
 PUBLICAN the gallant Rough PROSPECTS. Rider, made such in
 roads into the demo- cratic majority. In the two years that have elapsed since the last general election in the territory great financial changes which have affected the whole country advantageously have taken share of these prosperous conditions and the awakening has only begun. Two years ago the country had emerged . from a successful war and a glorious but the effects were unknown and were even probltmaticaI. Now the results of that war and the wisdom of the policy which directed it, as well as the wonderful expansion of the nation which has followed are apparent. In Arizona there are no glnuine anti-ex- pansion.Sts. One hears nothing of inn perialism or p1ilitarism. Arizona fur nished more troops according to her population to support the policy of ex- pansion than any other state or terri tory. Her people will not stultify the brilliant record already made by giving heed to an ism that would have no existence out for campaign purposes.
 Since the Kansas City convention a few aspiring democratic politicians have tndeavored to awaken interest in that plank in their national platform most. These efforts have proved fruit less. The Arizona voter will take no stock in a theory that will net justify the action of his soldier friends or kinsmdn who are sleeping the fast sleep in Cuba, Porto Rico or the far of Philippines. Neither will he lend ear to a. ploa that would recall his fel- low citizens who have not fallen but emblem of freedom and civilization. Two years ago America was but at the threshold of a great epoch. Today she is firmly established in a policy that is the pride and beast of every patriot. In Arizona attempts to belfttle the achievements which were the forerun- ners of that policy must fall very flat. There are no "aunties" here.
 L. seems possible that the battle cry of the democracy of two and four years ago could again arouse a substantial following in Arizona. MT. Bryan has always advocated that every i'll which this or any other nation was heir to could be cured by the free coinage of silver. That he was wrong the last two years have demonstrated. He admit ted his error when he did ndt dare to again make silver the leading issue of the campaign of 1900 We have all seen that silver had notbing to do with the condition of the country, either past or present. Arizona was among the first to demonstrate this fact. Capital was directed to the development of her gold and copper deposits, with the result that today more mines are operating in Arizona than ever before in the history of the territory and more wsalth is being produced. A constantly growing vol- tune of capital is flowing in. and the prosperity is not f1eeting. but perma- nent. These are facts known to every vctsr in Arizona. How can he vote
