 Bisbee Miner: Globe is now dead camp. Everything has shut down and not wheel is turning.

 Tucson Post; Lee Sing, the cele- brated Chinaman who figured so sensationally during the Cheno- weth administration at Nogales, was tried at Phoenix this week on the charge of being unlawfully in the United States, and released on promise that he return immediately to Sonora and never again show his face in the United States. Sing was arrested for perjury two years ago while going through in bond from San Francisco to Nogales. Judge Kent held that in equity Sing should be allowed to continue his journey to Sonora, although under the law he could be deported. Sing has family in Nogales, and it is said that his wife, Mexican woman, recently eloped with an Italian.
 Copper Era: Judge Shirley was down from Metcalf yesterday, and reports the accidental killing at the Shannon mine of Jose Rodriguez, native of Mexico, about twenty-one years of age. Rodriguez and others were grading location for an ore bin about seventy-five feet from the top of the hill, when from some unknown cause a rock weighing about thirty pounds rolled down from the top of the hill and struck deceased on the head, fracturing the base of the skull, from which he died eighteen hours after the acci- dent. Justice Shirley impaneled a coroner's jury, which after investi- gating the facts, found them as stated above and rendered a yer dict that the death was accidental and no one was to blame there fore.
 Review: w. G. Choate, general superintendent of the El Paso x Southwestern, sheds considerable light on the plans of the company in communication in the Railway Age. MT. Choate writes that the main line will be 29616 miles in length, extending from El Paso, Texas, to Benson, Arizona. The line is now completed to a point 1224 miles east of the New Mexico Arizona boundary line, and grad ing is in progress between Strauss and the Rio Grande river, eighty miles. The contractors are Orman x Cook, of Denver; Capes, Power & O'Connor, of El Paso, Texas. The mileage of the main line by states is: Texas, 4.57 miles; New Mexico, 163.26 miles; Arizona, 124.6 miles. The branch to Dem ing, N. M., is 31.53 miles long, and there are branches in Arizona ag- gregating 21 miles, making total mileage of the system when com pleted 345.36 miles. A steel bridge

Prospector: Yesterday party of six soldiers passed over the N. M. x A. at Fairbank, bound for Fort Huachuca. The soldiers had under guard two of their comrades, who were sentenced to military prison, having been court martialed and found guilty of unsoldierly conduct in having attacked a lieutenant and endeavored to reduce their superior officer into a pulp with their fists. All the soldiers are from Fort Whipple, and the trouble arose while all were on a visit to Pres colt, and it is alleged the fight started over the winning of Pres colt woman's favor whose affections were evidently unwisely distrib- uted. For a soldier to strike an officer, no matter what the provo cation, means a sentence in a mili- tary prison, and the two soldiers were promptly sentenced to five years imprisonment each for the offense. The prisoners were ordered to Fort Huachuca, and it is expect ed they will be transferred to Lea venworth, Kas., or Alcatraz, Cal, to serve their time.

WASHINGTON. May IA lively de-
bate was precipitated in thet tSeilats4
to-day by Mr.. Pritchard, Of Norl.- Caro-
lima, by some remarks he made on poli-
tics and political methods IN North
Carolina, in the course of discussion
of the Philippine bill. He maintained
that the pending measure dealt simply
with administrative features of the
Philippines and insisted that charges
made against the American army that
tortures and barbari,ies were practiced
in the islands were not reve,ant to the
discussion. He said that If tie charges
were true, lie guilty ought to be pun
ished and undoubtedly would be.
He suggested that some of the methods

Mr. Pritchard declared that majority
