The railroad news continues to be very encouraging. There is now little doubt that the Rock Island road is back of the Arizona Central, and that work will begin soon in order to take advantage of the ten years tax ex- emption act passed by the last legls- lature. Iu the matter of grades and local business, the road from Benson by the way of Nam moth, the coal fields, Kelvin. Florence and Phoenix IS ideal, and the only wonder is that it hGs not been made trans continental route long before. Florence Tribune

SITUATION UNCHANGED.

Pittsburg, July %. - The important
event In the strike history OF the day
Is the organization OF the tube mill
workers at McKeesport. The word
from there is that after long ard ardu-
Gus work Assistant Secretary Tighe of
the, Amalgamated association succeed
ed in organizing lis men OF n Ma
tional Tube Works company. At the
meeting twenty-five skilled men from
each Of the departments were initiated
into the mysteries OF the Amalgamated
association, and Mr.. Tighe claims that
within forty-eight hours enough more
of the workmen will be secured TO
keep the entire plant closed down, af-
fecting 5000 men.
From Wellsviile nothing has been
received mere except word that the
situation IL unchanged and the strikers
say everything is satisfactory 10 them,
II Is believed, however, that an at
tempt will be made to-day to put men
to work there from other points, the
ten men from vandergrift. who are
said to be at East Liverpool ready 10
go I'm carly in the day being the prin-
cipal men relied upon for the purpose
While the strikers ray they will not
commit any overt act there is an un-
easy feeling manifest throughout the
entire valley, and no one is willing to
anticipate the result OF the proposed
attempt to put these men at work.
When seen last night President
Shafer expressed himself as being
more than satisfied with the weeks re-
suit.

Pekin, July %. - Disaffection caused
by banditti is prevalent in thirty dis

either disinclined or unable with the
force at their command to suppress
the troubles. Ii Hung Chang, as vice.

The troops ent against the banditti
showed sympathy for them, many OF
them having formerly been soldiers.
They are better armed than the troops.
In a recent conflict a hundred soldiers
and officers were killed.
The troops of Yuan Shin Kai, gov
ernor of S~hangtung. are the only ones
that can be trusted to act. The resul,
OF dispatching some OF them to quell
the disaffection Is not yet known.

RELIC THAT CURES.
Jew York Church the Scene of some
Wonderful Miracles.


New York, July %. - A continuous
stream of men. women and children
poured into the Church of st. Jean
Baptiste. In East Seventy-sixth street,
all day yesterday for the purpose OF
viewing the relic OF st. Anne, which
Is now on exhibition there. 1t is esti-
mated by the priests that more than
5000 persons kissed the relic during
the day.
Late in the afternoon a pale-faced
man drove up to h church in a run
about. He was accompanied by two
other men. Slowly and painfully the
two friends OF the sick man helped him
to the sidewalk. He was so crippled
with locomotor- ~ataxia, apparently that
without the services of the companions
he would have fallen. They led him
down into the crypt where the relic
vas on exhibition. and made their way
to the rail behind which stood gray
haired Canon Petit with the Sacred
remnant of st. Anne. When they ar
rived there the
Cripple Devoutly Kpelt
end kissed the case In which the reliG
is Enclosed, and then the canon rubbed
II OF his stricken limbs. This done, he
hobbled slowly back to a pew with his
a almost glorious in it's faith. and
there he prayed and waited for the
ure he so longed for. An hour he
spent there and then his friends re-
turned for him. When he arose he
was stu a cripple. but he was lot dis
c~ouraged. for he sail that he felt bet
ter, and he got pack into his carriage
apparently satisfied with his visit.
Canon Petit said that in the morning
there was really a remarkable cure.
He sai that a child was brought in by
its mother. On one OF It's legs IL wore
an iron brace. After the little one
kissed the relic and the cese bearing
had been rubbed on its limbs the
mother removed the brace, he said. and
the child was able 20 walk out Of the
church alone. The feast of st. Anne
will occur on July 26 and the relic will
be on exhibition In the church until
that time.
