CALLEDFOR ROOSEVELT
ARIZONA COWBOYS HOPED TO
SEE HIM WITH PRESIDENT
M'KINLEY.
WERE DELAYED TWO HOURS

Presidential Special Held on Account
of a Loose Tire on One of the
Observation-Disclosures the Party Is
Given a Rousing Welcome at Phoe-
nix-A Mixed and Wildly Enthusi-
astic Crowd.
Phoenix, A. T., May S.-The presi-
iential party spent an interesting day
n Arizona. The bright sunshine and
invigorating air afforded the party
much relief after the hot and dusty
ride. The two hours in the morning
at the Congress gold mine up in the
clouds of the Blue Tank mountains,
were replete with incidents and were
thoroughly enjoyed. Leaving the rich
mining section in the mountains, 1000
feet above sea level, the train dropped
down into the green Salt River valley,
with it's waving alfalfa meadows and
big herds of cattle. This valley is
called the garden spot of Arizona and
was reclaimed by irrigation.
While passing through New Mexico
and Arizona, the COW punchers at the
stops along the route inquired vocif-
erously where Teddy" was. Many
of the vice presidents rough riders
during the Spanish war were recruited
, in this section and there was much
| disappointment that he was not In
the party. On the way to Phoenix, the
| tire of one of the wheels of the tender
became loose and for the first time
since the long journey began, the tele-
grapher with the train was compelled
to climb telegraph pole to tap the
wire.
Rousing Welcome at Phoenix.
The accident to the tender delayed
the arrival of the train at Phoenix two
hours and somewhat disarranged the
programme there. Nevertheless, the
party received a rousing welcome.
! Governor Murphy and the territorial
! officers had met the party at the Con-
gress mine and accompanied them
| back to Phoenix. At the station the
! territorial militia, company of cow
| boys on bronchos and some of the
|
| joined in the wildly enthusiastic re-
ception. The party was driven to the
Adams hotel for luncheon and after
ward was escorted to the territorial
capitol, where the formal exercises
took place.
| A drive afterward gave the presi-
dent a chance to see the interesting
ruins of the ancient Aztec irrigation
| system. At the Indian industrial
school, four miles from Phoenix, the
party had a glimpse of what is being
done in the way of education of the
wards of the nation. A pretty cere-
mony was enacted here for the benefit
Of the president. While an Indian
band played Hail Columbia" a beau
tiful Indian maiden in pantomine
pleaded with man dressed to repre-
sent Uncle Sam" for statehood for
the territory.

OF FOREIGN BEEF.
State Department Receives Report on
Great Britain's Action.

Great Britain's Action.
Washington, May S.-Upon being
advised about three weeks ago through
the press dispatches from London Of
the exclusion of foreign beef from
the British army use, the state de-
partment instructed Ambassador
Choate to report upon the matter.
Information has been received at the
department which would indicate that
the notice issued by the army con-
tract Office of the British war depart
ment on April last, excludes from
army use for six months from June l
next, all foreign beef of every descrip-
ton, whether imported dead or slaugh-
tered in Great Britain. DR.. Wray, In
spector Of American cattle, who has
Investigated the subject, is of the opin-
ion that the order, when carried into
effect, will not result in great or
considerable direct loss to American
exporters of beef and cattle for the
reason that the domestic supply OF
beef for all purposes in Great Britain
and Ireland is so limited that what
ever beef by the new ruling and notice
may be shut out from the army use
necessarily will be absorbed by the
general market.

Leavenworth, Kan, May S.-Miss
Bonnie, daughter of G.. w. Bonnie, an
employee of the state penitentiary,
while gathering mushrooms near Lans-
ing, was struck on the back of the
head by an unknown person and rem
dered unconscious, after which she
was assaulted and her body thrown
into an old we'll for the purpose of
hiding the crime. The young woman
regained consciousness and after re-
peated attempts reached the surface
and went home, where she told Of the
crime. She stated that she had caught
a glimpse of her assailant and would
be able to identify him. Miss Bonnie
died soon afterward. Searching par
ties are securing the country. The
murderer will probably be burned at
the stake If caught.

WILLIAM X. IN CONTROL.

Vanderbilt Interests Dominate the Tn.
ion Pacific.
New York, May S.-The Mail and
Express says:
There is excellent authority for the
statement that William K Vanderbilt
has carried the day in the contest for
the control of the Union Pacific rail-
way and that he intends to put
through his plan of annexing it to
the Vanderbilt system.
His idea is that it should be con-
trolled by the Chicago and North
western and New York Central joint
ly, with a guarantee of per cent on
Union Pacific common stock and pos
sibly an exchange of 8 per cent bonds
issued jointly by the Northwestern
and New York Central in exchange for
Union Pacific common stock. There
may, however, be some change in this
last feature.

NEGRO LUNACY.

The New Orleans Pickayune makes the following interesting deductions on the subject of lunaey from the re- port of the state uperintendent of insane asylums of Louisiana:
 The negroes are contributing slight, ly fewer lunatics to the state asylum, in proportion to their numbers, than the whites, but the report shows a condition of affairs in regard to the sexes of when TO explanation, as far as We know, has been given. Why IS it that, while among the whites the men constitute more than twice as many lunatlcS as the women, lDl to 4l, the reverse is true to the negroes, the colored female lunatics being exactly double in number to those of negro males, thirty-two to sixteen? The chances of insanity seem greatest among white men and least among negro men.

WHAT THE CoMMONER SAYS.

Some of the Bryanite editors of the state who are having so much to say about Senator Jones and the Ameri can Cotton company ought to read the following from the Commoner, Mr Bryan's personal organ, and q paper from which several of these Bryan1s- tic quill drivers of Arkansas like so much to quote:
 A census bulletin issued by the present administration states that only 13l ,159,124 pounds of the total crop of 4.654.972, 195 pounds, or less than per cent, Of the 1899 cotton crop of the United States, was baled by the round bale process. As the company with which Senator Jones IS connected is not the only round bale it will be seen that his company can not possibly be a monopoly, and yet the Republican papers are denouncing Senator Jones as 2 trust magnate while they keep silent about the salt trust, tin plate trust, and the steel trust, each of which controls more than 90 per cent of the product.
