 A special train of Pullman coaches carried very distinguished number of railroad officials Wednesday night, of the party was President Hay, First Vice President J c. Stubbs, Fourth Vice President J. Kruttschnitt, Col. Epes Randolph, manager El Paso and Yuma division and Professor Dumble. MT. Hay is on general tour of inspec- tion of the entire Southern Pacific system, and this is his first visit 10 this portion of his new territory.
 There was consi derable excitement Saturday night about ten o'clock when a couple of pistol shots rung out sharp and clear on the balmy air. Subsequent investigation showed they were fired by Sheriff Turner to stop an escaping prisoner, one of five whom he had arrested. They had a con- trary edect, however, and he bolted across the line to be received with open arms by a Mexican officer. MT. Turaer got the rest of his prisoners to jail aud all was again quiet.
 Charley Montgomery. known all over Arizona as a hunter, and former ly scout under Crook during the troubles with the Apaches, was ia town the fore part of the week. He is at present engaged ia cleaning mountain lions, bears aud wolves froal the Cameron ranch, and has SO far, extermiuated d large number of the "yarmiuts" Charley is an en- tertaining talker, but When telling a tenderfoot Arizona stories there is apt to be a slight twinkle in his keen eye suggestive of amusement think ing of the effect Of those stories retold in the effete east.
 Mrs Frank Hansen last week re- .ceiyed a copy of The American, print ed at Green, New York. giving de tailed account of the one hundreti birthday celebration of her aunt Mrs. Lola Reed. The account of Mrs Reeds reception reads in part as fol- lows: Mrs Reed, whO seemed to be in the best of health, was the object around whom all the interest and love l.ceatered. Her form was erect, her dark eyes brilliant, scarcely showing the dimness of age, and greatly eD joyed her birthday reception. Mrs. Reed was assisted by her daughter in receiving, and from four to six o'clock she stood as erect as lady of half her years, and received the loving con- gratulations of host of friends We may add that with the exception Of partial deafness Mrs. Reed is in pos session of all her faculties, and few, who do not know her, would place her age at over eighty years.

MIR. ATkINsoN.s APPOINTMENT.

kilograms from Washington contain
the assertion that Ex-Governor Atkin-
son is reasonably certain of obtaining
the appointment as Federal Judge Nor
the recently created Second district of
West Virginia, although the President,
while asserted by Congressman Day
ton to be favorable to the idea and
to have given general assurances, ETC.,
omitted, after his fashion, to clinch
the matter by a definite promise.
TIr. Atkinson's prospective appoint
ment will be both applauded and de-
plored. A large and influential ele-
ment of his party will be glad to see
him shelved, as it was glad to see
General Golf out of the way through
a judicial appointment for life: an
other and different element will object
to his appointment for several reasons
among them age and inherent unfit
ness, for there are those, ever among
the ex-Governor's friends, who main

that may be, and there are diverse
opinions, there is an old legal adage
that a poor lawyer makes a good
Judge" and if this appointment is
made by the President WI may posi-
bly, find a new demonstration of the
truth of the rule. One thing is GER
tain. The laborer is worthy of his
hire, and the su~bservient Governor of
a State of his reward. Mr.. Atkinson
has certainly, to judge by ordinary po-
litical and party standards, become en-
titled to a snug berth, and if he gets
it the Register is perfectly willing to
extend both congratulations and COM
misseration to those entitled thereto,
with an impartiality not born of malice
and with a generosity and freedom
to be expected from those COOKERS on
in Venice who are mot of the earth
earthly" and mere spectators of passing
events.
The translation of the former Gov
ernor from power at Charleston to jul
dicial discrimination upon the bench
of a Federal Court reminds us of sew
eral things, but, as believers in the
doctrine of the greatest good for the
greatest number" we are not UMPIRE
pared to say that the exchange is in
whole a good one, and are of half a
mind to congratulate the public in ad-
vance Of the fact of appointment.

While Mr.. Carnegie is giving of his
millions to build libraries and Mr..
Rockefeller is donating of his wealth
to colleges, the church is inclined to
complain at being left out in the cold.
Mr.. Carnegie turned a minister down
fat who called ON him the other day
for assistance in building the church
organ and took occasion to berate the
reverend gentleman and his flock for
their unbusinesslike methods in assum-
ing obligations they could not pay.
Now the Rev. DR.. Rainsford has re-
buked the "uninstructed rich,' who he
said built universities and let the poor
about them die. He urged contribu-
lions for a proposed sanitarium for
working girls. The fact seems to be
that we all need more or less instruc-
ton as to what is true charity.

PRACTICAL ENsLAvEMENT
of Negroes Found by the Grand Jury
in Anderson County. :. &.

COLUMBIA, S. c., March THE
grand jury of Anderson county to-day
made its report to Judge w. c. Behet
and declared that a practical enslave-
ment of negroes had been conducted
in that county. The presentment was
prepared by a special committee which
visited the convict stocka6e camp IN
Anderson county and found confined
therein negroes guiltless of any felony,
but undergoing a term of servitude
under voluntary contracts which they
had signed in partial ignorance.
The charge of false Imprisonment
was made against J. S. Fowler P. B.
Allen and w. @. Hammond, three of
the largest planters and most inhuen-
tial men in Anderson county. The
grand jury declared that these men
who employ convicts from the State,
were also keeping confined in their
s~tockades negroes who for some petty
cause had been sent there for breach
of contract, although convicted before
no officer of the law.
No prosecutions have yet been made,
but the solicitor, Mr.. J. E. Boggs, will
hand out indictments for the June term
of court.

AS TO THOSE .LoYAL MILLIONS.

The Independent press of the coun-
try dwells with amaZement on Mr.. Nc
Kinley's remarkable statement in his
inaugural address, already referred to
in these columns, that the greater part
of the inhabitants of the Philippine
Islands recognize American sover-
eighty and welcome it." emphasizing
this astonishing assertion by speaking
of the loyal MILLIONS in the islands
and "the disloyal THOUSANDS"
We have all read Gen. MacArthur's
recent statement of the situation in the
archipelago, which fatty contradicts
the President. Likewise in his appeal
to the Senate committee In behalf of
an army of 100, 900 men, Secretary of
War Root said. on January Z: IF we
do not get these men there we will
have to abandon large portions of the
islands. We have officers, Filipinos, in
those municipalities who have taken
offices and are friendly, and we have
TO protect them. If we withdraw u
garrisons in the present state of affairs
they will be left defenseless; they will
be murdered"
Yet the President in his inaugural
says that ''by far the greater part of
the Inhabitants recognize American
sovereignty and welcome it." and that
those loyal to us are counted by MIL
LIONS while those disloyal are only
THOUSANDS"
AS the new York World puts it, IF
the Filipino millions are loyal and
only a few thousands 'disloysl,' why
has Mr.. Mckinley needed to keep 65,-
DOC American soldiers in the islands for
these two years past, and why does he
still keep them there? Cannot the

BRUTAL CRIME
Upon Libbie blair, a Young Girl,
Drives Her Iusune.

PORTSMOUTH. o., March As
the result of a brutal assault perpe-
trated Tuesday night by several young
men of this city, Libbie Blair, a Is
year-oid girl, was adjudged insane yes
terday afternoon, and ordered commit
ted to the Athens asylum. The young
girl appeared at the police station with
clothes in tatters and with bruised and
bloody face, and ineoherently related
the story of the crime. With.a crowd
of young men friends she went out
Tuesday evening for a walk. They led
her to a deserted part of the city.
There one of the young men. she
charges, attempted to assault her. She
fought brayely and cried for help, but
was overcome by his companions with
their fists and with stones. The young
men beat her into insensibility and
then fed.
The girl was found unconscious on
the spot late Tuesday. night, and taken
to her home. An examination of her
copdition was made. and she vas
found to be suffering from serious in
juries about the face and head. Her
skull was fractured in three places.
During the day all remembrance of the
affair passed from the girls mind, and
she was adiudged insane and sent 70
Athens for treatment.

MORE REINFORCEMENTS.

LONDON. March S.-Whatever nesotia-
lions are proceeding in Pretoria. and Mr..
Kruger declares they can only be for an
armistice-the government evidently has
no idea of slackening achievements.
The war office issued a detailed state
ment last evening OF transports that are
to sail to South Africa within the COM
ing week, with 12,000 troops.
The casualty list reveals the fact that
two officers were killed at Lichtenberg.
March 3. Lord Kitchener's telegram. Am
sending achievements, was dated March
6. Evidently, therefore, the hghting con-
tinued for some days. and further adj
avices are awaited with anxiety.

rated, the former being at Petrusberg.

AN AMERICAN Def TO BRITAIN
AND ALL EUROPE.

With the ascendency of Terrible
the atmosphere of that body immed-
lately became surcharged with 5elliger-
ency and even staid old Senator Nor
gan, of Alabama, paved the aisle
about his desk and shifted the battle
from afar. Barely had Warrior Teddy
raped his strenuous gavel for order
than Senator Morgan arose and launch
ed into a warlike TRADE on the Mic
aragua Canal bill, and if the gallery
hadn't been frightened to death by
Teddy's preliminary threat to throw
them all out if they made a sound, the
spectators would probably have burst
forth in tremendous salvos of applause
as the warlike Albanian hurled fear
full defis at King Edward and all the
other world powers.
If the British lions tail was ever
twisted good and hard it certainly was
in this case. Mr.. Morgan took per-
fidious Albion to task for trying to
smother the Nicaragua Canal negotia-
lions and hold them in indefinite
allegiance while England con
tinued to reap the benefits of the Suez
canal and enjoy the fruits which would
come to Uncle Sam through the Nicar-
aqua Canal. 'If it be her determine
ton to pick a quarrel with us about
it." said Mr.. Morgan, bristling, she
will find the United States can muster
at least half the number of men who
voted for the President in the last
acknowledging men. And she will
find, when hat war terminates, that
the steel band which binds the throne
in London with Australia and India
and passes through Canada will have
been rent in twain; and with its sew
erance, down will go the empire"
Thus, evidently, had the martial
scenes of the day previous affected the
otherwise peaceable old gentleman
from the South.
There is no cause, however, for any
one to get excited, or for the war de-
sDartment to send out more recruiting
officers. Great Britain wont fight. The
whole United States Senate may stand
on Its hind legs and Terrible Teddy
himself may crack his heels and fig
uratively tweak the nose Of King Ed
ward; we may even kick Sir Julian
Pauncefote out Of Washington. Still
Britain will not fight. She won't eight
%. She won't light anyone her size.

For h Punishment ef Obstreperou,
Members OF the House of Comnons
Rr0n0aed.

Mcmbers of the House Of Commons
Proposed.
LONDON, March Tin anticipation
| of a lively debate and exciting scenes
arising from the suspension of Irish
Nationalist and Mr.. Balfour's pun
ishment proposals, there vas a great
attendance in the House of Commons
| to-day. The visitors galleries We're
| filled, many peers and ladies being
among those present Though no ex-
ira policemen were visible. a large
| force of police was in readiness within
easy reach.
The Irish members of parliament are
greatly pleased with the cabled dis
patches received by John Redmond,
! their chairman, from drishmen N Bos-
ton and Chicago.
The Speaker, Mr.. Gully, announced
that he had received a letter from Mr..
| Jordan to the effect hat he had not
deied the authority of the char. and,
on the motion of Mr.. Dillon, Mr.. Jo--
dams name was removed from the list
of suspended members.
Mr.. Balfour then moved his amend
ment to the rule governing the suspeh-
| sion of recalcitrant members.
In supporting the motion Mr.. Balfour
! said it was necessary to provide ade-
quate summary punishment for sucn
physical resistance TO the Speakers
orders as occurred Tuesday. He trust
| ed the House would agree unanimously
| to the amendment. The, House ought
not to remain helpless against a mem
Der who committed such an aggravat-
ed crime against the House, an offense
the danger and reality of which mad
been so painfully brought before them.
Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman alluded
to the grossly disorderly conduct of GER
tain members and said he had not a word
of excuse to say in their justification or
palliation, but he suggested a modifica-
ton of Mr.. Balfour's amendment.
Mr.. John Redmond said what had oc-
CURED was q natural ebullition of feeling
against an unjust closure. He denied pre-
meditation and said the moral response
bility for what had occurred was wholly
on Mr.. Balfour, whose proposal, now was
~extravagant and unnecessary.
Lord Hugh Cecil, Conservative, moved
an amendment providing that recalcitrant
member should be imprisoned.
This was opposed by Mr.. Balfour, who
pointed out that it would place. too much
responsibility on the government; and
Lord Hugh Cecil withdrew the proposal.
