health OF body and mind was In such a
deplorable state that some change was
imperative.
Those on the inside have known that
Diaz, owing IL his infirmities, has been
only nominally in charge of affairs and
that he has had no knowledge of what
his subordinates have done.
Patriotic Mexicans have been watch
ing the situation with IL utmost anx-
iety, for no one can ieil what the out
come will be. After Diaz. whof There
Is sure to be revolution, and II Is d wise
man who can foretell what the result
Of a revolution In Mexico will be.
While the people are loath 70 believe
that President Diax ~ insane there can
be but little doubt this Ii the fact. The
malady with which he Ii credited takes
the form Of an intense dread that some
one Is trying to kill him. He imagines
himself pursued by an assassin at all
times, and 1t was largely for the pur-
pose Of disabusing him of this idea that
hes was hurried away TO the hunting
lands OF Guerrero.
President Diaz has always been q
tremendous worker and was t~ireless In
his attention to public duties. This and
advancing age are thought to be re-
sponsible for his present condition.

Mrs. Harrison knelt at the right hand

In a few moments after the friends

of the most pathetic incidents of the

on Tuesday before he became uncon-

ment on the death of Gen. Harrison:
mot one of our c~ountrymen should for

which have been performed in their be-

cabinet. 1t is not known positively
how many of them will come. but it is
supposed by the members of the fami-

AS far as they could be reached by

Benjamin Harrison as a lawyer was
well summed up by his political oppo-
nent, Vice President Hendricks, who
said:
II have met few lawyers In the coun-
try with Benjamin Harrison's capacity
to get at the naked. legal truth of an
issue. His mind shoots through the
upderbrush of verbiage and irrelevant
testimony like a rife ball and hits the
bullseye of dispute"

THE TAKING OF ALEXANDER
Who Turns Gut to Be a Most Accom-
 plished Criminal.

Under Sheriff Snodgrass of Ventura, Cal. arrived in the city yesterday morning after Hayes Alexander. wanted there for a variety of crimes. He left with his prisoner last night. He came without a requisition, prom ise having been obtained in advance from Alexander that he would waive that formality. On the arrival of the officer though. he had somewhat re- considered that promise and was in q position to make trouble. It looked as if the officer might have occasion to regret that he had not made the 5OO-mile journey to Sacramento before coming to Phoenix.
 MT. Snodgrass promised him that only one of the cases against him would be prosecuted, and at length he consented to go. knowing that he would eventually have to return to the scene of his crimes anyhow.
 AIexander's criminal record is q long one for man Of his age. and he en- tered upon it early. This is the the first time MT. Snodgrass has travelled with hirs. When he was l. years old he took him to the reform school at Whittier. He had been convicted of larceny. He stayed at the reform school long enough to grow into full-hedgeG criminal, for soon after his return to Ventura. He committed a forgery and was con victed and sentenced to three years at San Quentin. MT. Snodgrass accom- panied him on that journey.
 After doing that time Alexander left the country and in the course of his travels reached Arizona. Nearly two years ago he committed larceny in this county and disappeared. He went back to Ventura, and two months ago committed a series of crimes, begin ming with the robbery of a friend, of property valued at S100. He raised nearly as much money by means of three forged checks. The Ventura au- thorities suspected that he would turn to this county. as his mother and two brothers had moved here so;::c time before. The officers here were no tified to be on the lookout for him. They ascertained that he had come to

But said he: We are doing lot of hard work on a lot of good mines, and when they are producing, the town will grow fast enough without booming"
 OUT OF QUARANTINE.-Mr Burt Dunlap arrived here yesterday morn ing. having been released from quar- antine in Los Angeles about two weeks ago. He had q pretty good round with varialoid. and came out winner. but he never doubted for q moment but that the experience was severe enough to render him immune in the future. He lost about twenty pounds when he was first taken sick, but got it all back, and more too, before he left there. He was so well pleased with his treatment in quarantine that he told the management he would recom- mend the Los Angeles pest house to all Arizonians who wanted to take a course in smallpox. His family was exposed along with himself, but none of them caught the disease.
