Our hardened regulars on the island of Samar, much experienced now in fighting Philippine insurgents as well as in contending with Spaniards and Chinese, will probably make short work of the insurrection, although they have as tough q mountain and jungle problem as the Dutch have had in Atchin. The men of the Ninth iegi- ment, though two disasters have been inflicted on them, have in both these affairs acquitted themselves as fierce fighters. They have grown wary. and have been able to forestall native plots against them. They have been rein forced by the Twelfth regiment, hich was in Chaffee's brigade at Fl Caney. and by 300 marines. It certainly de- wolves on General Smith to make quick work of the pacification of this troub- lesome island. for the galvanization of the insurrection heres is having a bad effect in Luzon. Even Aguinaldo has adopted a more defiant tone in his ele- gant captivity, and there can be no doubt that the man Lopez, now in Hong Kong, would like to revive the insurrection if he could. We may look for very active operations in Samar within the next month.

Beautiful Home For Prince And
 Princess Albert.

It would be difficult to find a more beautiful or artistically furnished res idence than the new home of Prince and Princess Albert of Belgium ir which the young couple will take up their abode on returning from summer quarters at Possennoff. Everything money and art could do has ben done to rsnder Assche Palace a fit home for Belgium's future sovereigns. Valuable tapestries and priceless painting cover the walls. marble statues and foreign curios fill the alcoves, while all over the palace are to be found rare pieces of ancient furniture sent from the homes of King Leopold and the Count de F1andre. Passing through the oddly carved 'porte-cochere'' one enters a spacious white marble hallway lined with palms and flowers. To the right and left of this are the apartments reserved for guests. Each set com prises a bedroom, dressing-room and salon handsomely fitted up in Louis XIV style, the style which, by the way, pHesides in the decorations and furnishings of the entire palace. On the entresol are a series of palmer rooms fer royal attendants. From the ground floor to the first story runs a most imposing ''escalier d'honneur," or grand staircase. It consists of eighteen white marble steps. each about eleven feet long, and has a Louis XIV railing in polished steel and gold. In the right wing of the palace are the salons and reception-rooms, of which the largest Is the gaia halL
 In the left wing of Assche palace are the apartments of Prince and Prin- cess Albert, a banquet hall and the grand gallery. Princess Elizabeth s bedroom is the largest and most beau tiful of the private rooms. Its lofty windows high walls. with cream and red panels and large vaultedl ceiling with gilt decorations, produce a most grandiose effect. The carpet, woven after ehe princess own designs. shows a white ground covered with wreaths of roses. In an alcove are a lady's sec retary and priedieu in Indian wood in- crusted with gilded bronze. Adjoining this is the princess dressing room, an exceedingly dainty room with It's | cream brocade wall hangings and | Florentine ceiling. The princess has also a very handsome salon. looking onto the palace park, and furnished in mahogany and red velvet Prince AL bert's apartments are also in the left

The banishment of twelve more Boer soon after previous punishments and executions for treason, indicates that the stern work of repression is being carried on with q fixed determination to stamp out resistance as soon as pos sible. Complete establishment of mar tial law al the Cape Is now co-operat- ing with the penalties against leaders and commandos found in the field after September 15, under the terms of Kitcheners proclamation. The former is employed to check disaffection and make treason odious in Cape Colony just at the time when the power or resistance of the Transvaal and Or ange Colony burghers is at the weak est point It appears to be well timed; but there is no means of knowing what recruits Cape Colony is furnishing, for it is admitted that sympathetic Cape rebels have ways and means of com rnunicating with the Boers in the field that elude the closest inspection. It is too soon yet to measure the effect of the executions for treason on Boer feeling; but it is significant that only a week or so after they have occur red there are reports of vastly aug mented force recruited from the Cape. To witness or know of these executions is the severest trial which Boer temper and character can be expected to en- dure. and it will cause no surprise if in a short time we hear of reprisals which will cause the war to enter upon a new and bloodier phase from which sc far South Africa has been spared.

achieved remarkable success. Not one of them will go to Washington on a mission of personal glory. They are sober. industrious and tactful. They are persevering and broad-minded. They know Arizona from the Black river to the Colorado, from the Grand Canyon to Mexico. As pioneers they have seen the territory develop from q dreary desert to an empire teeming with mineral and agricultural wealth and alive with varied industries. and each of them has borne an honorable part in this wonderful development. There is not a material fact concern ing the territory that can be unfamiliar to them. They will be a power at Washington. The convention could deliberated for days. And still. our eastern friends should understand that Arizona can show thousands of other men of like intelligence and calibre.
 All that is asked Is that the members of this committee. with Delegate Smith. their chief. shall receive a fair hearing. No member of congres hon. estly bent on learning the truth can in justice 60 himself and his duty to the union refuse to listen to these men,
 The committee will, of course. be ably reinforced in Washington by as- sistance from other citizens of the ter ritory. including the governor and other federal officials who enjoy the acquaintance and confidence of repub- lican leaders in congress; and while. as Delegate Smith frankly pointed out in his strong speech, there are ob- stacles to overcome, the members of the committee were appointed to do hard work. That success will crown their efforts we truly believe.

PHOENIX. ARIZONA. OCT. 27. 1so,
The statehood convention of yester-


 day was an unqualified success. It
 more than met the THE best expectations. Al GREAT together the proceed CONVENTION. ings were inspiring.
 Congressman Rodey of New Mexico in his letter which was read to the convention. appropriately alluded to it as Arizona's Declaration of Independence. That the results will be far-reaching cannot be doubted.
 The personnel of the convention was all that The Republican predicted. It is pity that all persons. at home and abroad, who are disposed to speak of the quality of Arizona citizenship with derision did not have an opportunity to look into the faces of the assem- bled delegates. No higher type of American citizenship could be found in any state of the union. nor in the of the United States. And yet. these men are but representative of the pop ulation of this territory. No thought full person could face that body of earnest, patriotic and intelligent oiti- zens and repress the thought that to deprive such a people of their rights to the fullest measure of elf-government is burning injustice.
 And incidentally. the convention as . body. and its proceedings. made up an excellent lesson for those few small people republicans and democrats. who consider that there is nothing In life but petty politics. The manner in which the sturdy manhood of Arizona manifested its determination to have nothing of politics in the proceedings was refreshing. It was demonstrated once more that when a question in volving the common interest is on there republicans of Arizona are equally public spirited and equally patriotic.
 A superp coiiiiiii'lee to eiS'i'e i
 gate Smith was appointed with a unanimity which was enthusiastic. All semblance of log-rolling the pro motion of self-interest was avoided when the delegates selected a commit tee outside the membership of the con- vention. Not a member of the com mittee is actively in politics. Messrs. William c. Greene. F. B. Gage. L. w. Mix, Jack" Lawler, John Brockman and w. J. Murphy, are broadly repre- sentative of the population of the ter ritory. Each of these men is a stall wart intellectually. Each of them has devoted years to the development of our varied resources.

PAYMENT FOR UNUSED PLANS.
Question of conapensating Arcbttec;
for BrooI<Iand Engine House

Question of Compromising Architect
for BroOkIand Engine House.
The question Of paying an architect for
plans which could not be accepted was
referred by the Commissioners to their
Attorney today for instructions as to the
proper course TO pursue. It appears that
soon after the opening of the present ifs
cal year the Commissioners, in order TO re-
lieve the Office OF the Inspector of Build
ings, secured the services of an outside
architect TO draw the plans and speci-
feations for the engine house at Brook
land The compensation was to be $500
provided the plans should be approved
and accepted by the Commissioners.
The plans we're presented. but the cost
Of erecting the building according to
them was found to be in excess of the
amount of the appropriation available
As result, the Inspector of Buildings
drew plans for a cheaDer building and the
plans of the architect were laid aside.
The question Of payment has now been
raised by the Inspector Of Buildings. and
he has asked for instructions whether the
$500 shall be used in adding certain ac-
cessnries to the building or retained for
the payment Of the architect.
