Olberg, q member of the hydrographlc survey ing party which lately investigated the Verde and Tonto Basin reservoir sites. Crawford was employed under Oiberg On the latter work.
 Che day Olberg, being in need of money, asked Crawford if he had any. CraNfoId had $50, for which amoufN Olberg gave him check on Kellner's bank at Globe. CrawforI came directly from the TOnto Basin work to Phoenix and disposed of the cheek at the Boston store The next day he went to Cali fornia, leaving his horse here. The check passed through the National Banf of Arizona, a Tucson bank and the Bank of Globe. IL was thrown out at Kcllnsr's marked No funds and was returned by the bank route to the Boston store.

ECUAD0REAN AFFAIRS
An Interesting Interview With Gen.
 Sampson, U. S. Minister.

General and Mrs. J. A. Sampson ar, rived here yesterday morning on tn, train from the south. having trayclcC from Colorado via El Paso, where they made d short visit
 They expressed themselves as de- lighted to be at home again, if only foi q short stay. They left on this morn- ings train for Flagstaff, where they will visit with their daughter, Mrs. F. M, Livermorc, returning here on Fri day of next week. After short stay here they will go to the coast. and eX- pcct to sell for Ecuador from san Fran cisco aboat the first of October.
 They returned tO the United States this time via the isthmus and New York, and have gradually travelled west, 50 that when they return to South America they will have traversed the entire length of their own country and familialized themselves fully with con ditions as they exist.
 General Sampson was seen at the Ho. tel Adams by Republican reporter, and naturally about the first question he was asked, after preliminary greet ings were over, was in relation to the reported revolutions in Colombia and other South American countries and the sending of American warships to the isthmus for the protection of American property.
 The general replied that the foreign press as we'll as a great many American newspapers had given currency to CT roneOus statements regarding the trou- blc. which he believes will have no serious results. The whole matter" he explained lis based on the relations between the Colombian government and the Am ican company that built the railroad across the isthmus from Colon to Panama.
 Under the concession to the Pana- ma Railroad company the right was given that company to call on the Unit ed States for protection if occasion re- Quired it, the Colombian government. however agreeing to furnish protection if it was able tO do SO. For two years revolution has been brewing in Co., lombia, and there have been repeated attempts by the revolubonists to secure the control of the line. The American gun boats were not sent to take a hand in any revolution. but simply to be there to protect the interests of the rail- road or other American property in the event of the Colombian government be- Ing unable to do go and asking the

ARIZONA AND STATEHOOD
Governor Murphy Interiewed As to
 Admission.

Tn the course of his recent visit tO New York, Governor Murphy was in- tervicwed by the Mail and Express on the subject of Arizona. The newspaper said:
 "Gov. N. O. Murphy of Arizona, who was at the Holland house yesterday. but left last night for Washington, eX- pressed himself forcibly in an interview regarding the admission of the territory to statehood He was appointed ny
 Harrison. was in congress during Cleve- lands administration and was appoint ed governor by President Mckinley in 1897. He is therefore familiar with the condition of Arizona He said:
 We have been seeking for twelve years to be recognized as a state. Northwestern territories have been ad- mtted to statehood during this time. but for political reasons Arizona na, been kept out.
 An erroneous impression has pre- vailed in congress that the territory was either in favor of free silver or democracy It is true that the vote is close, but in a national election it would undoubtedly go republican. So there Is really no excuse for excluding us for political reasons.
 We do not beg for adm.sslon-we demand it, and will continue to do so every year Our population has in- creased rapidly during the last ten years and it is now about 10000 and the territory is very prosperous. Its as- sessed valuation increased S6, 900, GOO last T burdened with taxation.
 There is no fake or wildcat mining in Arizona. I issued a letter warning people against fakes and it had the de- sired effect, Nearly 10000 men are di- rectly or indirectly affected in copper and gold mining and every other ln- dustry is thriving. Railroads are being built in various directions and new towns are being established all over the territory"

vALuELEss AS FIRE-EscAPEs.
Coils of Rope Seldom of Service in an
Emergency.

Coils of Rope Seldom of Service in an
Emergency.
Strange how men pin their faith
to rope as a means of escape from
burning buildings" remarked an of
ficer of the fire department. "Hun-
dreds of travelling men carry coil
of light rope habituaHy in one OF their
trunks and feel safe on the upper
floors of hotels they know are mere
death traps A drummer of my ac-
quaintance, who weighs fully 200
pounds, and who has taken no exercise
for the last twenty years, has q
sample case with special compart-
ment containing fifty yards Of silk
lifeline, extremely light and strong
DO you really think you could slide
down on that in case of fire.? I asked
him, when he showed me the arrange.
ment. Why not?' he replied. It's
been tested to three times my weight.
The only difficulty that occurred to
him was the breaking of the line.
That he would have no trouble hang
ing on to it on the way down he took
for granted. Now, as a matter IF
fact" continued the speaker, "a rope
is the very worst fire escape imagin-
able. To begin with, moments
reflection will show you that the
chances are two to one that it will
catch fire and be destroyed before it
can be used.
"The windows of nearly all build
ings are arranged in straight vertical
lines-one directly above the other
and a rope thrown out Of an upper
story would necessarily cross every
easement on the way down. The
probabilities are that some or all of
them would be spouting flame, and
the rope would last about as long as
piece of packthread. But, assuming
the coast to be clear, a rope would
be almost useless to anybody but
trained gymnast. The average man
would find it physically impossible TO
let himself down hand over hand, and,
if he attempted to slide, his palms
would be fayed and he would let go
involuntarily before he went thirty
feet. Gloves or cloth are no advan-
tage, as we have proved by tests in
the department. If they are thick
enough to prevent abrasion they will
also prevent one from obtaining
sufficient purchase to ease the de-
scent.
"The only thing of any value in that
respect is handkerchief Topped
loosely around the rope and then tied
firmly by both ends to the wrist. The
loop will bind slightly in the descent
and act as brake. That is some
thing, by the way, that has never been
in print, and it is well worth remem-
bering. Getting hitch or two of the
rope around ones leg is of no use
whatever, unless somebody has hold
of the lower end and is keeping 1t
taut. Altogether the rope escape is a
delusion and snare, and I wish the
fact were generally understood, be-
cause the confidence that is reposed IN
it makes people careless of other and
proper precautions. New Orleans
