It seems we have not heard the last of the Daniels matter. On Tuesday last ' motion was made by Senator Teller to reconsider the vote by which the nomination of Ben Daniels as mar shal of Arizona was confirmed Teller read au article printed iu New York newspaper, charging Daniels with be. ing an ex.conyict, aud said in this con. uection that more time should have been given to consideration of the nom nation before confirmation. In reply, the statement was made that the nom ination had been before the senate and in committee for several weeks, and no such charges were made against Dan lUls. No action was taken on the mo. ton to reconsider, but it is understood the matter will be brought to the at tention of the president and depart ment of instice.

The claims of Arizona to admission
 as a state were presented to the house
 committee on territories on Thursday and Friday of last week. A favorable report k expected from the committee,
 but what action congress may take on the bill Is problematical If the bill tails of enactment, responsibility for its defeat will rest entirely upon the republicans in congress, as n resolution endorsing the admission of Arizona, introduced in the democratic caucus by Delegate Mark Smith, was adopted, thus pledging the democrats iu con gress to support the bill solidly. Some of onr republican contemporaries are apprehensive lest Arizona's admission be prevented by republican votes, and thereby the territory be made more sohdly democratic. Their concern Is unnecessary, as the president, by ig- noring his party in Arizona and ap. pointing carpet -bsggers to the most lucrative federal offices, has already insured that result

formed of this discouraging condition and proposes to adopt harsher meas ures. A modified form of Spanish recommendation has been put in force by General J. Franklin Bell in Batan gas, immediately south of Manila, to subdue the insurrection, which pro vides for the establishment of zone around the garrisons, into which the friendly inhabitants are required to come under penalty of coniiscation and destruction of their property. The enforcement of this order is prac- tically an admission that almost all the Filpinos who have professed to be friendly are really in sympathy with the insurgents and doing what they can to aid them.
 The military rulers in the Philip. pines seem to have reached the con clusion ut last that the spirit of liberty in the people is too strong to ever be subdued except by employing Weyler's methods against them. Can this nation afford to sustain such policy?

We regret that MT, George W. Vick- CTS, of the Phoenix Republican, should have been so nettled by our allusion to the irrigation scheme of the Mnrphys as to forget the common amenities of journalism. Ho indulges in language unbecoming gentleman and the edi- tor of newspaper which, assuming to be a leader, should set better exam pie to its contemporaries. Vickers should not be too harshly conde mned. however, as he is an accident, plucked from obscurity by the Murphys, and lacks the refinement and training which the position he is attempting to fill de- mands.

OUR PHILIPPINE POLICY.

The Philippines are occupying a
 great deal of attention in congress. and
 will likely continue one of the princi
 pal subjects for discussion for some
 time to come. The debate has been
 at times acrimonious and the discom- fort of the majority has been increased
 by the attitude of Senators Hoar and
 Hale, who are not in accord with tie policy of the administration. Recent uttsrances of Professor J. G. Schure- man, who was appointed by President Mckinley as president of the first Philippine commission, have also csused good deal of irritation among the republicans in congress. Pro lessor Schureman has not only said that he favors independence for the Filipinos, but quotes the late Presi- dent Mckinley as saying, when the first Philippine commission was ap- pointed, that the sole object of taking the Philippines was the humanitarian one of carrying them the blessings of liberty.
 William J. Bryan ia the Commoner says
 President Schurman's admission is the most significant utterance that has recently appeared in connection with this subject. He is in position to know what Mr. McKinley's purpose was and what instructions he gave. If the republicans have departed from their original purpose they will find it | difficult to defend their present posi- ton; if ultimate independence has been intended from the start und is | now intended, the administration has spent over three hundred millions of dollars that need uot have been spent: Il has sacrificed thousands of lives that need not have been sacrificed; it | has aroused suspicion abroad as to our love of self government-and all this | could have been avoided by promise oi independencel"
 It is certain that very little headway has been made toward ending the war and pscifying the Filipiuos. The re- peated assurances of approaching peace have not been fulfilled, and we have the word of Generals Chaffee and Wheaton that force of 50,000 sol diers must be maintained in the Phil ippines, and so radical n republican paper as the Globe Democrat says that, even in that part of the island immediately adjacent to Manila, the civil authority has to be backed up by bayOne or else it wonld not stand a day, The administration is fully in-

TOMORROW will be Arbor Day a legal holiday under the territorial law, set apart for the planting of trees and shrubs. It can not be said to serve any useful purpose, as climatic condi- tions in Northern and southern Ari- zous are so widely divergent that probably no day could be selected that would be suitable for tree plant ing in both sections, and If practicable the intent of the law would not be carried out. Arbor Day only serves as an excuse to give lazy people n holiday.

 The Chinese new year begins to morrow. The first day is called Cho Yit, and the celebration usually lasts three days. Their new year does not begin on the same date each year, ac- cording to our way of calculating dates, as their years have six months of twenty-nine days and six of thirty days, which causes an extra month every three years. On this day all debts owing by one Chinese to another are paid, and d great many presents are made.

NO REST FOR B. & W.
Latest Is 1t Will Build From
Burlington to Mediapolis.

Burlington, May 21.-In all of the
plans for the widening of the B.& w.
nothing has been done toward secur-
ing an independent track between
this city and M%ediapolis.
1t has been announced that for the
first, the standard gauge trains of the
b. & w. would be run over the track
of the B., O. r. & N, but that the b.
& w. would in a short time have its
own tracks to that city. Now comes
the announcement that the new line
to Mediapolis will be built through an
entirely new section of the country.
According to the new plans, the old
route will be abandoned and the new
road will run to Mediapolis by the
way of West Burlington. From West
Burlington the road will run to Dodge
vile and thence either to Mediapolis
or Roscoe.
1t is known that representatives of
the railroad company have been over
the ground of the proposed new route
and while surveys have not been
made public, it is generally known in
Burlington route circles that the
change will be made.
With the carrying out of the plan
for another main line, and the Rock
Island in control of the B., @. R &N
all agreements. betwee1Iohat road and
the Burlington would be declared off,
and the Burlington has probably
adopted this method of securing an
independent railroad along the line,
and at the same time tap the richest
portion of Des Moines county. The
proposed route would be an import
link in the proposed new st. Louis.
st. Paul line, and as proposed will
represent a great saving to the com
pany each year, in the matter of main
tanning the road.
The getting of a right.of-way will
be an easy matter, as all of the farm
ers along the line will be anxious to
get a railroad.

RETURN TO QUEBEC
Gaynor and Greene are Released
by Habeas Corpus.
Special 70 the DAILY HERALD.

Special 10 the DAILY HERALD.
Montreal. Que, May 2o.-Col. Gay
nor and Capt. Greene have won the
first skirmish in the fight against ex-
tradition to theN United States, and
at this time the two men are in the
old city of Quebec, where they be-
lieve proceedings to force them to
return to the United States to an
swer the charge of d~efrauding the
United States government can be sue
cessfully fought. Monday night at
ten o'clock a special train on the Ca
madam Pacific arrived from Quebec
with High Constable Gale and assist
ants on board, armed with q writ of
habeas corpus. They got into a cab
and drove to the Montreal Jail, to
which institution Gaynor and Greene
had been committed by Judge La
Fontaine during the afternoon.
Taken to Quebec.
The stay of the high constable in
the Jail was of very short duration.
Evidently Gov. Valee and his guests
awaited their coming, for in a short
time Gale reappeared, accompanied
by Gov. Vallee and Messrs. Gaynor
and Greene. A quick drive was made
to the Place Viger station, and an
hour after the arrival of the spe-
cial train it departed with the much
sought fugitives from the American
courts on board. Half an hour later
the regular train for Quebec depart
ed, having on board Donald MacMas-
ter and Chief a~Crpenter. They went
to answer the writ of habeas corpus
served on Carpenter. Incidentally,
Mr.. MacMaster will use all his efforts
to see that Gov. Vallee returns his
prisoners to the Montreal Jail. The
question as to whether he shall do
so or not depends entirely upon the
legality of the arrest. The case will
come up in Quebec to-day.
clever Move.
There was a warm argument in the
~extradition court before Judge La
Fontaine when the Gaynor-Greene
case was Called. 1t began when the
counsel for the accused complained
that on Sunday they were unable
to secure access to their clients, who
were being confined in a private pris-
on at the Windsor hotel. They there
fore demanded that Gaynor and
Greene be committed to the Montreal
Jail, in charge of Gov. Vallee, so
that they could secure access to
them. Mr.. MacMaster, for the United
States government, at first raised no
objection, but a few minutes later
he learned that two writs of habeas
corpus had been sworn out, and that
one of these was addressed to Gov.
Vallee. Once in the Montreal iail
the writ would he served upon the
governor, and he would have no
choice but to obey its call and take
Gaynor and Greene down t. Quebec.
Mr.. MacMaster entered a vigorous
protest against the proceedings.
Judge LaFOntaine took the matter
under advisement, and later decided
hat as the prisoners reals should
be in Jail and desired to go there, he
had no alternative but to commit
them. The prisoners were then taken
and committed to the care of Gov.
Vallee, under formal remand until
Friday next.
