Ives. the Keeley statesman from Yuma. in carrying out his part of the
 conspiracy to persuade A the national adminis- CHANGE tration that there is FOR IVES. some sort of a stain on
 the official record of Governor Murphy, makes bluffing an nouncement of an intention to bring out some horrible revelations in court concerning the territorial warrants against which he made such an in glorious attack in the last legislature. It is true that Ives has not shown the manhood himself to propose testing the legality of these warrants in court, but it is his bluff, just the same. Osten- sibly the threat is made by poor old 'Sittin' Bu,P' Wilson of Tucson, the socialist ranter, creature hardly worthy of serious consideration from suspect. ''Sittin' Bull' writes q letter to Attorney General Ainsworth-pre- pared of course, by Ives-in which the attorney general is generously given twenty days in which to bring suit against the auditor for recovery of the money paid on the warrants mentioned failing in which the attorney general must expect to see .'Sittin' Bull do his sad duty as a citizen and bring suit himself. The good faith in which the proposition is made is evidenced by the fact that the letter was given to Ives organ and made public before the attorney general received 1t. Time was an important element in the mat ter, however. as things had to be done in a hurry if the republican assassins of character now in Washington were to have the promised support from Ives in bolstering up their desperate game, and it was necessary to be able to telegraph to Washington that suit will be brought at once which will ex- pose the corruption of the Murphy ad- ministration-
 Now nine-tenths of the people of Arizona know that from the day Gov ernor Murphy took office down to this hour. not a single fraudulent warrant has been issued upon the territorial treasury, nor a dollar misappropriated or illegally used. Even Ives himself will admit in private that there has never been a cleaner territorial admin istration. All these things are known here in Arizona, and the vicious at- tacks made upon the governor are tol- erantly considered by the people as part of the political game.
 But even the most patient people be-
 
 Throughout the last legislature Ives. as we explained yesterday, blocked the business of the session-until final ly repudiated in disgust by the whole membership-while he was a bowling dervish on the subject of i'll -.Tal war rants" Little has been heard of the matter since, until. President Me Kinley was breathing his last, the con- spiracy was matched to obtain the gov ernorship and the territorial patron

age. And after the scheme is played out in Washington, the territory will have a rest until Ives sees another opportunity to work his racket.
 It would be a relief to all decent people, therefore, to have the courts settle the matter. once for all. So it is to be hoped that "Sittin' Bull" will not change his mind about bringing suit.
 But why does Ives skulk cowardly behind poor old Wilson? Why does he not come out in the open and bring suit in his own name? During the seven months since he was in effect kicked out of the legislature with his warrant report by his fellow members, h., while whittling dry goods boxes at Yuma or watching the whirl of the roa- lette wheel. has had ample opportunity to bring suit for testing the legality of every warrant issued by the Murphy administration. Why has he waited. and why does he wait now? Governor Murphy approved bill which permits any citizen to bring suit for recovery of money misused. Why has Ives, with all his leisure. failed to do his duty as citizen? Why has he. with all the facts at hand, neglected to protect the territory? He is a lawyer, or at least he is fond of telling people that he Is. We have no evidence that he studiei l law during the summer, or that he otherwise improved mentally except in study of problems of the green cloth. Hence he must have known as much last March as he knows now concern ing the illegality of these warrants anI his duties as a citizen in exposing any illegality herewith connected.
 To be sure he knows that if he should bring suit he would be defeated. and have the costs to pay. But surely it would be glory enough to see his name in the papers again for weak or two. And as for the expense-is he not sufficiently ahead on gambling to afford q flyer in court? If he has any manhood whatever he will step ill front of poor old Wilson, and himself accept the consequences of a suit pressed to a conclusion.

The last two weeks of September show the heaviest marketing of sheep in Chicago. ever known. Another big record is the fact that with all this tumbiins of sheep on the market the price of sheep and lambs has diopped only about 25 cents as compared with the week before the rush began. Pres ent prices are too low to stay. because they are much too low relatively with other live stock. The present tendency of all finished live stock as to values is upward, and the prospect is for strong winter prices for mutton; at least, 1t is So considered by good judges who take into the account the shortening of the future supply by the record breaking shipments of September.

 A Connecticut woman. who was a missionary in China when the Boxer rebellion broke out says that pea nuts and Standard Oil had more to do with it than the missionaries. For gen. erations past. she says. vast numbers of the Chinese raised peanuts and ex- tracted the oil. which was used for Illuminating purposes. Then the Stan dard Oil company came and undersold them with kerosene. and the peanut oil industry was ruined. Next, Ameri- can cotton goods drove the home pro- duct out of the market, and finally. when a railroad was to be built. revo- lutionizing the carriers business. the empress encouraged a movement to drive the foreigners from the country.

Walter Wellman, the correspondent of the Chicago Rscord- Herald. whose
 information is generally NEW at first hand, makes the CANAL interesting announce TREATY. ment that the isthmian
 treaty between Great Britain and the United States is com pieted, and he gives what purports to be the terms of the new convention. The British government has yielded on all substantial points. by abrogating the Clayton-Buiwer treaty, in agree ing that the canal may be constructed by the United States alone, and that the latter power is to guarantee the neutrality of the waterway. Thus the canal wherever constructed will be virtually an American canal. In case of war. this government is to deal with the canal in any way it may deem proper and close it against our enemies or keep it open. All nations are to possess equal rights in it's navigation in time of peace.
 While the negotiations that have thus resulted so happily have been conducted in London. Secretary Hay has been the moving spirit in the whole matter and the success is to be as- cribed to his diplomacy. He was placed in a most difficult position.
 The Hay-Pauncefote treaty had been so amended by the senate that the British government refused to ratify it, and the negotiation was broken off. The secretary thus had an unfrieudly senate behind him, and a reluctant government in front of him, and it de- manded the most adroit tact in deal ing with them.
 His first move was to consult with a number of the more influential sen ators and obtain their ideas. He next transferred the negotiations to London. and the British amba assador was sum moned there to conduct them on the part of the British government.
 The result is that everything has gone on successfully, and there is every reason to believe that the senate will ratify the agreement without serious objection or delay.
 What route will ultimately be se lected by the American government in building the canal is yet a matter for discussion. and so is the question whether private company should be subsidized or the government be the sole builder and owner.
 When the treaty is ratified these questions vii! have the floor

A desperate struggle ensued be- tween the unarmed soldiers, striving to reach their rifles, and the excited and ferocious knifemen.
 Some of the soldiers got through and then the fight continued with the na- tives, who had seized the weapons. That twenty-five men managed to get arms and beat the enemy off tempo raiily was an evidence of great cour- age. which. perhaps, when all the de- tails are known, vii rank as a deed of great heroism.
