BRIARS HELD REUNION.
Veterans Adopted Resolutions In Hon.
or of Deceased Comrades.

Survivors Of Company G, 3rd S. @.
w., the gallant Briars, held the annual
reunion at Lanford Saturday. There
was a good attendance OF veterans and
the whole neighborhood turned out.
A fine picnic dinner was served.
While the old heroes enjoyed their

account OF the deaths Of General Hamp-
ton and Col. Ball.
An eloquent address was delivered
by Hon. John G. Davis.
The following resolutions were
passed:
TRIBUTE TO GENERAL HAMPTON.
Whereas, We have learned Of the
death, on yesterday, of u great and
glorious commanders, General Wade
Hampton
Be it Resolved, That the veterans
of Co. G., 3rd Regiment S. @. V. feel
that in the death Of General Hampton
the State Is called to mourn one of her
greatest sons-like Washington, first
in war. first In peace and first in the
hearts OF his countrymen. He was
loved and honored in all exalted sta
tions by his countrymen.
2. As a commander, he had no peer
in the Confederate Army in the branch
in which he served. BY melt he rose
from Colonel to the rank of Lieutenant
General, and no duty was too arduOus
and no priyation too great for him to
perform or to suffer. With composure
he met alike the vicissitudes of the
soldier and citizen.
3rd. When our State was passing
through reconstruction the eyes Of his
countrymen were turned 10 him in
stinctively, as a fit leader to carry
them to victory. Without bloodshed
and without sacrifice Of honor, he res
tored to us our sovereignty.
4th. W. mourn in deep sympathy
our beloved Hampton, as soldiers, and
tender our deepest loye and sympathy
to the bereaved and stricken family.
TO COL. BALL.
Whereas, Our Heavenly Father,
since our annual meeting last year,
has removed from among us Col. Is.
w. Ball, one OF Our beloved comrades,
who often met us in our annual re-
unions
Be 1t Resolved, That we had great
love and high respect for our beloved
comrade, Col. b. w. Ball.
End. We recognized him as a Chris
tian gentleman and as o true and tried
soldier, aver ready to serve his coun-
try. No sacrifice was too great for
him to make, his life If necessary,
which he offered on many bloody
battlefelds. Our county has lost one
OF her honest leaders. We mourn in
deep sympathy with his stricken fam
lily in their irreparable loss.

TOLD TO BE LIKE AMERICANS.
Austrians Are So Urged in an Official
Report

Vienna, Feb. 1.-THE reports of the
various committees appointed by the
minister of commerce to consider the
best means of meeting competition will
be handed in tomorrow.
Forecasts obtained by the Associated
Press show the committees differ in re-
gard to the efficiency of protective tar
ifs.
The committee on iron industries saws
there is only one way to prevent ruin

ton of high, autonomous customs du-
ties, in conjunction with the rest of
Europe. If this is impossible, then
raise Austria's tariffs against the
United States, reduce them in the case
of other countries and give notice of
the abrogation of the most favored ma
ton clause of the treaty of 1929 with
the United States.
on the other hand. the committee on
metals considers that prohibitory Gus
toms probably may lead to disastrous
reprisals, as the metal Industry largely
depends on American raw material
This committee, therefore, pleads for
reciprocity.
A councillor connected with the min
lstry of commerce adds kind of gen
eral report on the policy and customs
of America. He calls attention to the
schools. cheap newspapers. splendid
railroads, practical consular arrange
ments and universal commercial acu-

The councillor did not believe in an
European and American coalition. He
thinks the United States will possibly
reduce her tariffs on manufactured
goods if Europe reduces its tariffs on
cereals and meat.

President Smith and the ministers

Positive denial of the truth of a state

ance attack upon Mormonism and polyg-
amy has been made by President Joseph
+. Smith, adding to the comment occa-
stoned by the proceedings. In a paper
read during the meeting the expression
was used that "Joseph F. Smith, former
chief counselor to President Snow and
now president of the church. said in 1896,
while defeating a meeting house in Pay
son: Take care of your poygamous
wives. We don't care for Uncle Sam

occasion TO deny it as a malicious canard

Payson or any other place. l have ex-
pressed my sentiments as to the families
of men who contracted plural marriages

Brussels, Feb. 12-The plan of arbi-
tration drawn up by DR.. Mueller, the
former consul of the Orange Free State
in Holland, who is now on his way to
New York with dispatches of the Boer
delegates in Europe to President
Roosevelt includes the formation of
two standing committees. one, more or

senators and representatives, and the
other prominent men who it is claimed
have already promised their co-opera-
ton.
The other and larger body will be
chiefly concerned in the collection and
forwarding of money for the Boer
cause. The Beers here allege that
there has been much difficulty hereto
fore in accounting for all the money
subscribed, and that not all of it has
reached its destination.

Fifty years ago he came to Arizona

HOLDS CANAL TITLE GOOD.
Ex-senator Pasco Testifes on Pana.
ma Route.


Washington, Feb. 11.-Forner United
States Senator Samuel Pasco, now a
member of the isthmian canal commits
sion, testified before the senate COM
mittee on interoceanic canals today
that he had carefully investigated the
proposition made by the new Panama
Canal company for the sale of the
Panama canal rights, and that he was
fully convinced that under the French
laws and the usage of the French
courts that company has a valid title
to the franchises and right of way to
the canal and would, therefore, make
a transfer to the United States which
would hold in law He thought the
cooperation of the liquidator of the old
Panama company with the new should
be accepted as proper guaranty from
that company as to it's position, and
held the opinion that no apprehension
need be felt on that score.
Mr.. PaScO was questioned at length
by Senator Morgan as to the effect of
the various treaties between the United
States and other powers relative to the
canal. and also as to the bearing of the
French laws on the proposed transfer,
the result being that Messrs. Pasco and
Morgan disagreed on most of those
points. Senator Morgan also sought
to bring out the fact that concession
of only ninety mine years in the way
of a lease, such as has been given to
the Panama company by the Colom-
ban government. would not be suffi-
cient to meet the demands of the
United States in case the proffer of sale
by the present Panama company
should be accepted by this country.
and Mr. Pascoe agreed with him on
that point, adding his opinion that
concession in perpetuity could be Sc
cured from Colombia. He assented to
a suggestion made by Senator Foster
of Louisiana that an investigation of
title in France might be necessary in
case the purchase should be decided
upon.
