TREATY ID BE MADE
Lord Pauneefote Sanguine in
 Regard to Canal Diplomacy.
Now Conferring with Lansdowne = British Ambassador Hopes to Return In October with an Acceptable Draft A Warm Tribute to Americans.

London, July 1S.-Lord Pauncefote, British embassador to the United States. makes the following interesting statement in regard to the canal treaty and other diplomatic questions pending between England and the United States:
 T am having conferences with the Mar quis of Lansdownc not only about Nlca- ragua, but also with regard to half q dozen treaties pending between Great Britain and the United States. These are chiefly concerned with West Indian reci- procity arrangements.'
 When asked if he thought there was any possibility of arriving at an agree ment regarding the Nicaragua canal be- fore congress reconyened, he replied:
 ''Yes, 1 sincerely hope so. We are now in the middle of tie negotiations, which, although they have not yet reached any tangible result, show good promise. Nat urally 1 may not disclose the details, but I may say that when return to the Unit ed States at the end of October 1 hope to take with me Nicaragua treaty that will meet the views of both President AIckin- ley and the British cabinet. It goes with out saying that the president has made himself cognizant of the opinions of the senate and of the secretary of state.
 "There is no use wasting time over treaties which the senate is likely to re- fuse. 1 really believe the differences of opinion between the two nations are capa- ble of settlement i'll an agreement fair to both. If could finish my delightful la bors in the United States by accomplish ing this end, should indeed feel gratified. But the only way this can be attained is step by step, with proposition followed by counter proposition and eventually hap py medium. It is slow, but 1 hope it is sure. If I thought anything could be done before October I would return prior to that date, but I do not believe that any thing would be gained"
 At this point Lord Pauncefote paid a warm tribute to the Americans. "They

ARIZONA GROWING.

Arizona is making rapid growth in population and in the develop ment and acquisition of welth. This fact is noticeable in the in creased building up of all her set dement's. The increase of her wealth. The reclamation of her lands, and the growth of tnann- featuring industries, which are
 being established within her
 borders. In the commercial cent
 CTS business men are confining themselves to specialties. which
 indicates the growth in the
 volume of trade. Large and sub-
 stantial buildings are being erect ed which showes the faith
 capital has Ill the future of the
 localities in which it is anchor Ing. The most S1guihCart
 evidence of the permenellt growth
 of Arizona is found in the in- crease of schools, churches, and
 fraternal orders. These all rep resent stability, faith, and solid evidence of the future of the communities where they are planted. Arizona shows more of these institutions, for the pop ulation credited to her than any other political division in the United States. How e1courag- ing is all this to those whe hope for the future welfare and great ness of Arizona. - Weekly Star.

SUB-OCEAN DANCER SIGNAL.
Submerged Hell Sends Sound iu
 Wafer Twelve Miles

Prof. Elisha Gray of Boston sat
 on a river bank one day ideally watching some boys who were swimming, when an idea occurred
 to him. and 1t was this: By striking a submerged bell tue sound may be heard and under stood a distance of 12 miles at sea. The importance of this mere statement Is not at once re- alized, but | s,aiseoVery is really one of the most vital of the new century. The loudest of steam sirens that are used to warn ves- se1s of danger Ill foggy weather, and which are supposed to sound their warning audib1y for Is
 miles, at times cannot be herd ships length, says the Ledger
 Monthly. This is dew to atom Ospheric disturbances, and neith- CT the Americans nor the En- g1ish, after years of effort, have been able to overcome 1t. But there are no water disturbances of the same kind. In other words, their is nothing under the water to interfere with the transmission of sound. To send the sound thereutfore is easy; but receive 1t omatically IS another thing, and 1t is the receiver that is the most important part of Prof. Gray's invention.
 Two ears, one on either side of the bow of vessel, communicate with an apparatus in the wheel house, and the vibrations of sound coming thru the water are transmitted to a bell in the wheelhouse, which rings in sym- pathy with the one that IS far away, striking stroke for stroke and performing the work insten- taniously. Thus literally, the ship Is made to hear forits own safety. It can readily be seen how al infinite arrangement of numbers may be devised by which ships may always be informed of their exact location, or of the exact location of another ap- proachiug vessel. Their is another point, also, which renders the invention an important one; 1t goes for to overcome the terrors imbued by the creation of the submarine torpedo boat. A war ship supplied with Prof Gray's invention-that is, with the rec eiving apparatus-could detect instantly the approach Of a tor pedo boat while 1t was many
 miles distant, and could therefore easily avoid it, for the receivor
 both sees and hears in the sense
 that 1t locates exactly the posi- tion of the sound that it records. Chicago Journal,

At day break peal after peal O the guns went thru the air awak ening all and making them cog nizant of the fact that the Great Independence Day had arrived for the one hundred and twenty fifth time in the history of ou1 great and beloved Nation.
 It was beautiful still morning not a cloud to be seen nor breeze to be felt. This gave promise O. Q most excellent day for the cele- bration. Which was fulfilled and the program was strictly followajolt.
 The hosting Of the flag al sunrise was a most beautiful pic ture. As 1t went up the staff or the new Academy building the Brass Band rendered i'll a very credible manner the St ar Sparg- led Banner " amidst a continuous roar of the guns.
 The dress parade and drill of Company K. National Guards of Arizona, who gave vent to heir patriotic feelings by fireing sev- eral rounds of blank cartridges, was a very credible feature ot the celebration.
 The exercises which were con ducted III the Assembly Hall un- der the efficient and most excel lent management of marshal T. C. Hill, were rendered in a most excellent manner and we feel to congratulate all who took part Ill these exc rciseS.
 We would like very much to comment on each part on the ex- cellent manner in which they were taken but time and space will not permit.

President McKinley's cheer
 fullnesS tells the story of Mrs. Mc.
 Kinley's improved condition even
 better than the assurances of her
 physicians. He now puts Ill the
 usual time in his office. The
 cordial response of tine country
 to his announcement that he
 would not be a candidate for a
 third term has also added to his
 cheerfullness. Letters of con-
 graduation are still pouring into
 the White House by every mail.
 He had a long conference with
 Minister Conger, the first he has
 had since MT, Conger's returned
 from China = on Chinese affairs,
 which MT. Conger thinks will
 now steadily improve. MT. Con-
 ger expects to start oil his return to China next month. He predic- ts that American commerce with China will greatly increase. President Mckinley has reap pointed Gov. Otero of New Mex icO, and U. s. Marshal Foraker. MT. Foraker who is brother of Senator Foraker, has been the Marshal of the Territory for several terms. Speaking of those appointments, delegate Rodey, of New Mexeco, said they were entirely satisfactory. He added that he did not expect Gov. O:ero to serve out the term ot four years because New Mexico would be a state in less time than that. Senator Burrows, of Mich, is strong advocate of the election of Senators by direct vote and as he will be Chairman of the Senate Committee on Privi- leges and Elections, he will be in a position to help along anything looking toward a constitutional providing therefore. he said: T appreciate the diff culty of securing an. amendment to the Constitution, but when you remember that no less than therty-hve states have expressed !, their approval, I am incouraged { to believe that even an amend nlent to the ConStitutian Is not | beyond the range of possibility" Senator Burrows will propose Constitutional amendment to pre- 1 vent any state being deprived of ! part of it's representation i'll the i Senate, by providing that when- ever legislature fails to elect a the Governor of the state shall order an election by the peo- pie to fill the vacancy. Senator Burrows said: Tn framing the Constitution the fathers arranged that if there should be vacancy in the House of Representatives an election should be held for member. They also provided that If the electoral college failed to elect a President, that duty should devoIve upon the House of Representatives. It did not ap- parently occur to them that legislature might fail to elect Senator, and so they did not pro- vide for that contingencyS My plan simply remedies that over sight"
