THE maine
The Question Has Arisen
As To
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE
Ten Million Dollars Worth Of
Claims Already Filled

New York. June 20. Ex-senator
Chandler of New Hampshire who is
here en- route to Washington to attend
meeting OF the Spanish Claims Com
mission says 100000 Of claims
have already been filed.
Under the law creating the com.
mission all claims of indemnity have
to be considered arising out of events
which happened in Cuba between the
breaking out Of the insurrection and
the signing of the peace treaty with
Spain.
Referring to the possibility of in
dividual claims of persons who suffer
ed by the sinking of the battleship
Maine in Havana Harbor, he said:
"The question will have to be de.
cided whether person who enlists in
the navy, and who is injured on board
an American man-of-war in time of
peace in foreign harbor, has any
claim for damages.
"The next question which will have
to be decided In the event of the right
of individuals to set up claims being
established, will be whether Spain
was responsible for the destruction of
the Maine.
"Of course II it is decided that in.
dividual claims cannot be allowed,
then the delicate question would be
avoided. Up to the present time the
commission has only adopted rules"

nearly O'Clock.

starting in the race. The 2.24 class,
for a purse Of $780, was called second,
there being three starters out of

started until the PIG class was fin
ished, and all but one heat Of the 2.24
class was disposed Of. In this class
there were four starters out Of field
of thirteen entries.
The races were all interesting, es-
pecially the PIG and 233 classes. In
the last mentioned class there was
some beautiful bunch racing, and the
finishes were close. AL Ray, owned
by J. E. and Donald Smith Of Barre,
and driven by John Boomhower, won

The Book of the College Centennial

The book of the Middlebury College
centennial is almost ready for the print
ers. Every address delivered during the
five days of the celebration will be given
verbatim, together with running ac-
count of the proceedings. The contents
will be increasingly valuable and the
volume itself will be an excellent piece
of boo<making. The lprice will be 81
and is intended to cover merely the cost
of publication. Many people in Middle
bury and vicinity will doubtless wish to
buy the book, and it is the desire of those
in charge of the printing that all those
shall be accommodated. The edition
will be but little larger, however, than
the advance orders call for, and it is
therefore desirable that all wishing the
volume let 1t be known as soon as posi-.
BILE. A postal card addressed to Pro
fessor Wright will be sufficient.

the indefensible position of doing noth. ing itself or allowing any one else to improve this great natural reservoir site.
 2. We firmly believe that the inter- ests of humanity dictate that the In dians should be gathered on the reser- vations, have lands allotted to them in severalty, and that they be furnished with farming implements and an mex haustible supply of water for irrigation of their lands, to the end that they may become self supporting. By this means will home life be furnished for the Indian and he will more rapidly advance in civilization as a conse- quence. He will abandon his nomadic fife; his children will be kept at home and educated in neighborhood schools, instead of being sent to large Indian schools at a distance where they are kept Gas it would seem) for mere purposes of show. After being in- structed in the arts of civilization for Q time they are returned to savagery, to become more unhappy and discon- tented than if they had never received the questionable advantages. We feel that the present policy of the Indian department is all wrong in this regard. 8. The Pima and Maricopa Indian reservation contains $50 900 acres of as fertile land as lies within the bound. aries of Arizona, and is admirably adapted for homes for these people, as well as the wandering Papagoes, whe are now compelled to prey upon ths herds of our farmers and ranchmen fol subsistence.

MAKE GOOD DETECTIVES.
Many Women Seem Adapted te the Work of FerretinE Out
 Crimes.

In New York city and the surround ing towns almost 100 women are en- gagged in detective work: in Chicago the number of women similarly em- ployed is quite large. says the Chron- icle. A large percentage of these wom- en are employed in the big stores, where shoplifting ia so commonly practiced, that the head of one large establishment said: I've could no more do without Q detective in this store than we could do without a model to show of our gowns" The dodges of shoplifters are innumera- ble. Some wear long eapes and slip lengths of silk or passementerie. feathers and handkerchiefs under their arms; others wear outer skirts with long slits concealed by the gath CTS. so that they can slip their thefts into pockets in an underdress known as 'kickshirt." Handkerchieis and gloves are tucked into muffs and bod ices. and, worse than all, children are pressed into the service. One success full woman thief tucks lace and em- broidery and any knick- -knacks she can lay hands on down the backs of her two little children. who are ex- quisitely dressed; others instruct their small daughters to take any thing that is put in their way. Chil- dren of eight and nine make clever shoplifters. Sometimes two women work together and then it is very diff hcult for the detective to trap them. Women detectives are valued and well paid when they are skillfui.

HOUSE MEMORIAL. NO. 4.
To the Senate and House of Representa- lives Of the United States In Con-
 press Assembled.

We, your Memorialists, the Nine teenth Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Arizona. respectfully rep resent that the National Irrigation Congress, held in Phoenix. Arizona, on the 1th of December, A. D. 1896, unan- imnusly adopted the following:
 Whereas. The Pima and Marieopa Indians. tribes numbering in the aggregate ten thousand souls, have been deprived of the waters used by them in irrigation before the advent of the white race in America, through the appropriation of such waters by settlers on the headwaters of the Gila
 Whereas. Through the loss of such waters the lands once cultivated by these tribes have become barren and worthless and the members of such tribes have become a charge on the Government. and forced by the loss of their fields into lives of degrada- tion and penury and
 Whereas. Such tribes have from the ear- Hest days been the friends and allies of the white race; and
 Whereas. The people of the United States have pledged themselves by solemn treaty to protect such tribes in their property and property rights; and
 Whereas, The Government of the United States has and now is engaged in the ex- penditure of hundreds of thousands of dol lars for the construction of works of irriga- tion for the reclamation of lands belonging to other Indian tribes; therefore, be it
 Resolved. That this Congress do approve the proposed construction. under the plans of the U. $. Geological Survey of the Buttes reservoir. in Pinal county, Arizona, recently reported, to a ain reclaim the lands of these tribes, believing that by so doing can the Government alone honorably redeem the broken pledges made by it to these people. and thus preserve from further want and degradation two of the surviving Indien tribes of the American continent that have always been the constant friends of the white race.
 Resolved, That we approve the proposed construction of such reservoir not only as just and philanthropic, but as economical and good policy. as in a comparatively shor. time the expense of maintaining such In- dians as Government charges will far exceed tue cost of the irrigation works required to make them a self-supporting and self-re- specting community.
 New, therefore, your Memorialists the Nineteenth Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Arizona, desire to go on record as earnestly endorsing the above recommendations of the Sixth National Irrigation Congress for the following reasons:
 1. The reservoir site referred tc having been withdrawn iron entry by Government authorities, cannot now be utilized by any private corporation, and the Government therefore occupies

Pinal county was organized in 1875 from portions of Pima, Maricopa and Yavapai counties, and contains an area of .s6s square miles, or s,4s5,520 acres onc-third of which could be made productive by systematic storage of the surplus water now running to waste. Next to Maricopa it is the most important agricultural county in the Terri tory. It is traversed from east to west by the Southern Pacific railroad. and branch of the great Santa Fe system is now ap- proaching from the north. The objective point of this road is a connection with the Sonora road. of the same system. The Southern Pacific Is also building in this direction from Tempe, and 1t is confidently believed that work will not cease until the Deer Creek coal fields are reached and con- nection is made with another branch of that road running from Bowie to Globe and now completed to Fort Thomas.
 Thus it will be seen that Pinal county is the theater of railroad building at the pres ent time, and inside of year Florence, the county seat, will be

 railroads and the San Carlos reservoir no city in Arizona can approach it for natural advantages, and a large increase in popula- ton will follow.

sussrRoKE IS UNKNOWN.

In fact. in residence of twenty-one years in Arizona the writer has only known two persons to be overcome by the heat, and they recovered. Their condition, however. was more the result of whisky than heat. The air is 30 dry here that a registered temperature of 11O degrees is not as oppres- sive as 80 degrees in St. Louis or New York. The Signal Service bureau has recognized this fact. and reports the difference between the apparent and sensible temperature to be fully 30 degrees. At nearly all times there Is pleasant breeze; the nights are invari- ably cool in the summer, and outdoor labor Is performed without serious discomfort to either man or beast on the warmest days. Very seldom does the thermometer get be- low the freezing point in winter, and in the gardens of Florence to-day are castor bean plants two years or more old,
