Bids for Construction Will Be Entertained.
 Work to Begin at an Early Date. There is now possibility that the Phoenix & Eastern railroad will have force of men at work in this county grading the roadbed for the proposed railroad by the first of next month. Yesterday prominent local con tractor made arrangements with the owners of large number of working teams to have them ready to go to work on the railroad grade by the lst of October. He refused to state what authority he had for the statement that the company would have a force of men and teams at work in such a short time.
 Promoters of the Phoenix x East ern, who reside at Prescott, have al ready circulated posters in that part of the territory announcing that bids for the construction of the right of way would be entertained. Thus far none of these bids have made their ap- pearance in this city, nor have adyer tisementS for bids been sent to any of the newspapers.
 R. Heyman, member of the right of-way committee, stated yesterday that the committee is having good sue cess and that the deeds for the right of way through this section of the coun- try will in a few days all have been gathered up and ready to be placed in escrow. He said that good progress is being made toward raising the fund of about $l0,OOO.
 Now that the railroad is an assured fact, the exact time that the company will begin active operations is a mat ter of great interest to the people of this valley and that portion of the ter ritory lying between this city and Ben son. When President F. NJ. Murphy was in the city a few days ago, he said that it had not been determined which end the company would begin on first.
 The action of a local contractor in making arrangements with a teamster Is good evidence that the promoters will lose no time in beginning work The haste with which they have issued notices for bids is more evidence that as soon as possible they will have a large force of men in this county build ing another railroad, the first of a number that are to be built in the next few years.
 "I have been told said a local mer- chant yesterday, that the sooner the uew railroad company can get force of men iD the field the better it will be suited have no doubt but they are arranging with men all over the terri, tory to begin work about the. first Of the month. They are ready for busi- ness, now tbat they have been assured of right of way through this valley. ? Phoenix Democrat.

 rssentatiyes of the Road visit Bisbee
 H. T. Greene and J. k. Daly, repre- senting the Arizona & Colorado Rail. road company, are at presentin Bisbee in the interest of the above named company. They have come to inter view the citizens Of Bisbee to see whether they cannot secure a right of way for their line to enter this city It is the intention of the company to be- gin operations at Fort Sullwell, Mex ico, and run thence to Naco. and through COchise county to Cochise sta tion, on the Southern Pacific line. Work will begin at COchise in about four weeks and will be pushed rapidly to the Yaqui river.
 In an interview with Mr. Greene and Nr. Daly they informed d representa- tive of the Miner that nothing had been definitely settled as to whether the railroad should be built outside of Naco or not, that the matter had not been settled and that the road would be built where it could be built the cheapest and with the easiest grades.
 That the company have not laid out any townsite at any place and will not do so. They desire to build their road where it will be to the best interests oi the company and of the business in- terestS of the road
 This would look very much as though Naco had but little to fear from the reports that the road would cut out that lively little town.
 MeSsrs Greene and Daly are very anxious to meet and talk with the cit zens of BiSoee as to right of way of the road into this town and promise that the work of construction will be- gin right away. It is hoped that the gentlemen will secure what they desire and that in the very near future the iron horses of two railroads will be pulling freight and passengers into BiSbee.
 MeSSrs. Daly and Greene say that their present knowledge of affairs, will locate the terminus of the road at Den yer, Col. The idea prevails that this is part of the Southern Pacific, but this is not the case although Messrs. Huntington and Randolph are stock. holdeIS in the new company. E. A. Mcfarland, at Naco, is general mana ger and Superintandent of the new road. -BiSbee Miner.

ed by many as forecasting the destruc- tion of every political machine in the country. The people of Minnesota nominated their candidates of all par ties and for nearly all state, all county and all municipal offices, as well as for congress. These nominations were ac- comphShed without a convention and without caucus. There was no pos Sible chance for the middle man" in politics to get in his work of making cOmbina tiOns. The barter and sale element was absolutely eliminated. The trick was turned through the peo- pie themselves going to the polls ex- aotly as on an election day.
 Separate tickets bearing the names of the prospective nominees of each party for each office to be filled were supplied. If voter had supported the republican party at the previous election and desired to place republi- cans in nomination for the next term he was given a republican ticket This he took into a voting booth by himself, selected and stamped the names of the men for the various offices which he desired placed in nomination, and af- ter folding the ticket, voted it by plac ing 1t in ballot box in the presence of election officers. The procedur- of a democrat was the same. If, how ever, voter who had voted with one party at the last election desired to change his politics at the primary he was told that this fact would debar him from voting, that his change of political faith could only bo made man. fest at the election after the candi- dates had been nominated.
 With this new law in force for the first time the voters Of Minnesota showed their approval of the system by polling the largest vote ever cast at primary election. The vote of both the republican and democratic parties was large. The votes for the republi- can nominees for congress, however, demonstrated that while the person nel of the delegation will be changed somewhat on account of the refusal of MT. Morrison, Mr, Eddy and MT. Heat wole to allow themselves to be placed in nomination, there will be no change in the political complexion of the Min. nesOta representatives in the lower branch of congress Washington Star

Russia's Free Port, Dalny.
From Engineering.

Very liberal arrangements are being made
at Dalny, the new city on the coast of the
Liaotung peninsula, which Russia is OPEN
ing up. 1t will be a free port in a broader
sense than is implied by its exemption from
customs dues. individuals OF all national
tiles may acquire and hold land on the
same terms, and even participate in the
municipal government. The city is to be
managed by council elected by the rate
PAYERS Of which two members must be
Russians, and not more than two may be
Chinese or Japanese-an arrangement which
insures representation to any foreign ele-
ment and at the same time prevents DOM
nation by either Of the neighboring ma
tionalties. All governments will be invit-
ed to establish consulates, and the town is
already being furnished with many of the
appliances of civilization in the shape of
administrative buildings, hotels, churches,
schools, 'theaters, clubs, SC. as well as en-
CINE shops for the repair of the locomotives
on the railway and the engines Of the ships
that visit the port.
Already a feet OF some twenty steam
ers, owned by the railway, now affords
communication between Delny and the
neighboring Chinese. Japanese and Corean
have swift steamers plying between Dalny
and Nagasak. connecting with the steam
ers Of the great lines running to Europe and
America 1t Is quite evident that these de-
velopments Will have great effects on the
trade and industry of the far east, and
they will be watched with interest.

Corporal punishment is forbidden by law
in the boroughs of Manhattan. Bronx and
Richmond, Greater New York: in the entire
state Of New Jersey; IN Chicago. Baltimore,
Cleveland, Syracuse and Toledo.
In Philadelphia there Is no written rule,
but corporal punishment is said to have
been abandoned by common consent of
teachers. In St. Louis thrashing can be
administered TO a yOungster at school only
by a principal or in the latter's presence
and with his consent. According to the
school rules such application of pain must
be avoided as far as possible, even under
the limitations specified.
Blows upon the hand with a rattan are
the only means of corporal punishment per
mitted in Boston schools. Even this is for

pal OF acting principal can infiict bodily
pain IN the Buffalo schools.
Either Strap or Rattan.
Either strap or a rattan must be used
upon San Francisco school Youngsters when
the necessity for corporal punishment

boys below the high school are eligible In
extreme cases of naUghtiness. The honor
OF welding the strap or rattan IS reserved
in all cases, for principals, who may how

The Growth Of Pearls.
From the Milwaukee Sentinel.


The origin Of pearls has been a subject of
much speculation. About $50 years ago
Filippi Of Turin announced that a living or
ganism forms the nucleus, and in a recent
investigation NJ. Raphael Dubois. French
naturalist, has shown THAT all pearls found
in a common pearl-bearng mollusk are
cysts incloslng sistomes-small marine
worms. In the moath Of August, when few
pearls are obtained, tho tiny young dis

as black specks and later as brilliant pearls,
which remain until the following summer,
when they drop toopieces,t and the parasite
resumes activity and reproduces its kind.
But II the parasite dies the crust continues
to grow, large and beautiful pearl being
but the sarcophagqs Of q long-dead worm.
Just how nearly universal this cause of the
formation Of pearls may be does not ap-

pearls show an egg as nucleus.
