SOMETHING FOR INVESTIGATION.

Those who have been claiming that
there was nothing in the Schley case
to investigate should give their atten-
ton to the charge, made by the Wash
ington correspondent OF the San ran
cisco Call that the award OF prize mon
ey for the Santiago battle was made in
reliance of the map of the battle which
was SO completely repudiated, even by
its makers. at the Court of Inquiry 1t
will be remembered by those who read
the evidence that the one thing as to
which all the witnesses agreed was the
total unrelabiIity of that map. Nobody
inaorsed 1t, and even the men who had
signed their names to 1t said that 1t
was unreliable.
ne fact IS, that 1t was a com
promfse map" attempting to reconcile
the opinions of all PARTIES concerned,
and .ne result was that 1t satisfied no.
body. And yet. according to the WASH
ington correspondent of the Call, this
chart was the principal evidence on
which the Court of Claims decided
that Sampson was in the battle and
! entitled To the lions share OF the prize
monsy. Says the Call correspondent:

Americana In Berlin.

William f. Curtis writes from Ber-
lin that there is wrong impression
in regard 10 the size of the American
colony in the German capital, and he
says the colony is not nearly so large
as everyone here thinks. 1t has been
listed as having 1000, but Curtis says
the Americans in Berlin took census
of their countrymen themselves. and
found just 500. There is many an
American voting precinct that has
that many Germans.-Chicago Rec

FLOATING BUTTON FACTORY.
Boat on the Mississippi River with
Everything Needed-FrinciDal
Material Used.

Taking the factory TO the raw
material, instead of bringing the
material to the factory. is an in
novation just put in operation on
the Mississippi river by a button fac
tory, and il is plan that has many
practical advantages. says the New
York Herald.
This factory is boat 42 feet long
and ~ feet wide, fitted with all of
the reces ssary machinery for the
manufacture Of buttons, and provid-
ed with a three horse power engine
for its work.
The principal material used Ivy this
factory is mnssel shells. which are
found at nearly all points along the
river. and one of the great expenses
in conducting the business hereto
fore has been the cost of transport
ing the shells. Now the factory has
reversed the operation and will go
to the musseIs.
when bed OF the shells is found
the boat will drop its anchor and go
to work When the bed is exhaust
ed il will move on to q new location.
In this fashion il will go from state
to state. from Minnesota to Louis
lana, passing along with the seasons,
and always enjoying the most desir-
able weather of the Mississippi val
ley.

SHOULD FORCE THE FIGHT.

In anticipation of serious considera-
ton of the matter in Congress, there Is
much heated discussion as 10 what
this Government should do on the
reciprocity question. What Is most
significant in this connection Is that
there Is a very distinct and growing
division of opinion in the Republican
! larty which now controls and hopes 10
continue it's supremacy. The Denver
Republican. one of the most prominent
organs of that party in the West as
serts that protection Is bound to
strangle itself If allowed to run its
natural course. This radical conclusion
is based upon the fact that our pro-
ducts are outgrowing the demands OF
the domestic market and that the
necessity OF entering foreign markets Is
imperative. To get there. there must be
a free or freer exchange. We cannot
sell our commodities abroad to an ad-
vantage il we shut out the commodities
Of those with whom We trade. There
must be some scheme of mutuality un-
der which we will give as we'll as take.
The claim of the sticklers for high
protection that the reciprocity scheme
Is an invention OF the free traders in
dlcates a shortage of good material for
argument Reciprocity is urged by the
chambers of commerce throughout the
country, even that of Senator Hanna's

less organ. are apposed to reciprocity,
as they would be opposed to any
movement that would imperil their
ability to make the taxing system OF
the Government bolster their in
dustries. But w4,n the intelligent, con-
servative and impartial masses OF the
people everywhere there il an insist
ence that we quit paying tribute to
giant trusts and combines through the
requirements of our tariff laws and
get into more equitable trade reia-
tons. particularly with our neighbors
on this continent. Commercial expan-
sion has come to be an accepted policy
and there is no chance to attain 1t by
closing our doors against those to
whom we would like to sell what we
cannot consume at home.
Our sphere of interests, If we con-
tinue to expand as we have for the
past two -ecades. will ultimately
cover the world. Those contending that
the handicap of prohibitive tarin
must be lifted before proper progress
toward that result is possible are not
to be put on Party lines should not
exist in this controversy. TIE temper
OF the people is unmistakabse and It
ia to show that the consideration sf
the entire subject will be insisted up
on In Congress that the question Is
again considered. No one can tell what
the outcome win be. Few are settled
40 to lust what should be. But the
powerful benefciaries of protection
should not be permitted to further
postpone the battle.

GOVERNOR MURPnY's ATTITUDE.

Governor Murphy wont tell what he
did with the money. He refuses to
respond to a subpoena and according
to report. he Is making arrangements
to leave the Territory. The Governor
is accused of stealing the contingent
fund. and he refuses TO deny the
charge. He must have some indication
OF the nature of the evidence nt the
disposal of his accusers.
When we recall the high ground
taken by President Roosevelt when he
turned Governor Jenkins OF Oklahoma
out OF Office we marvel much why
Murphy Is permitted to hold his Office
for a day.
Jenkins was only accused of low
political morals and bad taste, but
Murphy is accused of positive dis
honesty. He has not even to his credit
sworn denial of the charge of theft.
1t Is reported at Phoenix that the
Governor Is going to Washington to
aid in passing the bill TO create Ari-
zona a State. This must be a mere
pretext to get without range of the
courts jurisdiction. 1t Is understood
that Judge Street Is about to return
and he would not be apt to be as COM
placent as little Justice or the Peace
in the matter of issuing an attach
ment for the sacred person OF his ex-
cellency The pretext of going to
Washington on a pubic or semi-public
errand will deceive nobody.
1t is we'll known that Governor Muir
ply was extremely anxious to be made
member of the committee selected
by the Phoenix convention to aid
Delegate Smith in advanc.4g State
hood 1t is also well known that two
thirds of the Republican members of
the Phoenix convention were eagerly
awaiting for Murphy to raise his head
so that they could swat 1t. His scouts
reported to him the temper of the

put himself forward. He had no ambi-
ton for martyrdom and was not In
suicidal mood. Being fatty ana
extensively denied recognition by the
convention that selected the members
of the committe. does 1t seem prob
able now that Murphy would desire to
intrude himself? We are not disposed
to assume that Murphy is endowed
with good taste or a keen sense OF
propriety but we can hardly believe
that he would be guilty OF such a
fragrant breach of the eternal fitness of
things as 10 betake himself to Wash
ington under existing circumstances
claiming to represent the public senti-
ment of Arizona or Le desires of its
people.
The representatives of the people
and OF the States at Washington, are
men of perspicuity. ability and prn-
dence. Their own powers are delegated
and they understand the necessity or
constituency. They will know that
a representative convention held at the
Territorial capitol of Arizona refused
to name Governor Murphy member
of committee to plead with Congress
to admit Arizona to Statehood. They
will know, too. chat Governor Muir
ply Is accused OF looting the Terri
torial Treasury and that he refused to
deny the charge un0er oath when Of
fered an opportunity. Under the cir
cumstances. pubic men at Washins-
ton will be more apt 20 think that the
proper place for Murphy Is In COM
panionship with former Governor Tay-
lor OF Kentucky in Indiana. than MAX
ing an exhibition of himself at the
Federal capital.

Largest House in the World.

Right Rev. Thomas Underwood Dud- ley of Kentucky, one Of the eminent bishops in the Episcopal Church, enjoys a good story as we'll as if he did not wear the cloth. He tells this one on himself:
 A number of years ago he was going by train to one of the smaller towns or his diocese to hold services. He was enjoying a cigar in the smoker and upon the seat facing him was very large valise containing his clerical vestmenls' A drummer, sitting back of him, noticing lis jaunty travelling cap. leaned forward and inquired;
 "Traveling man, eh?
 Yes" answered the bishop

WAS FAST BASEBALL
INDEPENDENTS BEAT FALCONS
 AGAIN.
Only Two Scattering Hits Were Made of Seals, Falcons Being Shut out Until the 9th Inning--Fast
 Work of Both TeaBps.

On very rare occasions is a professional game of ball seen that is as fast as was yesterdays fight between the Independ- ents and Falcons of the City League. Whenever these two old time rivals mix up the public is pretty sure of an inter- esting game of baseball, but the most sanguine friends of the two teams did not expect anything like yesterday. The game was remarkable in many respects first there was Seals pitching. two hits beiny all the Falcons were able to get off him. Cade got clean single in the second inning and Creekmore got one on the sratch variety in the eighth. Seals gave two bases on balls and struck out six men, Molly giving but one base on ball% and striking out six men, but ten hiss were made off Molly. The Independ- ents made but one error and the Falcons but three, one of the features Of the game being the fast double play made by Creighton, Pettus and Lobman of the Falcons.
 In the first inning Molly gave Patter- son a base on balls and he scored on a ionE three bagger by Apperius. Apperius afterwards scoring, making two ,n,e tn the and Kilgrow put Hobbie in and in the seventh a single by Finley, followed by three baggers by Patterson and Apperlus added one more-showing the fast field work of the Falcons
 For seven inning the Falcons only got one hit off Seals, while he only gave one base on balls In the eighth innings there was q combination of misfortunes. Seals gavs Pettus a base on balls, the second of the game, hit Molly with the ball and a scratch hit by Creekmore put Pettus over and saved the shutout. The game wound up { and 1 in favor of the Inde- pendents, the inability of the Falcons to hit Seals telling the story, though only tw, I've men on both sides being left on bases

19 CAPITAL CASES
NEGT WEEK TO BE IMPORTANT
 IN COURT CIRCLES.
Entire Week Will Be Occupied with Trial of Them-Nineteen Hun
 dred Talesmen Have
 Been Summoned.

Nineteen capital cases are set for trial during the co.ning week in the City Court.
 The entire week will be devoted to the trial of defendants charged with capital offences.
 In each case a special venire of 100 names from which the jurors are to be selected to try the case, has been drawn.
 The special venires prepared by Clerk Matthews for the nine teen cases contain total of 1900 names.
 The week will be a busy one for the court officials. In point of interest the weeks proceedings will excel all others for the present term.
 The capital week will begin with the trial of Jim Wilkins and Alex Wilson on the charge of robbery. This is the fa- nous robbery case of last year in which Daniel Mum of Louisville, Ala, is the prosecuting witness.
 Mum, who was a small merchant, said in his statement before the Recorder that he had been enticed into a room in the Gay building over the Western Union Telegraph office and robbed of over $S0.
 The accused men declare that Mum lost only $20 and that was lost and won in poker game.
 The accused men have three times been arraigned for trial. and three postpone ,ents of their cases have been secured.
 The first was obtained on account of the illness of one of the defendants and the two last because of the failure of Mum to appear in court as the prose- cutting witness.
 It was stated at the last term of the City Court when Mum did not appear, that he had left the State
 Anderson Shackleford, negro, will also be put on trial for murder tomorrow. Shackleford was indicted for murder more than ten years ago. He was accused of killing a negro in the country several miles from the city. after which he made his escape. He was arrested last spring.
 No session of the City Court was held yesterday. the docket for the week hav- ing been completed Friday evening.

SUPPLANTING WHIST.
Hearts and Euchre Are Now the
 Popular Games.

Popular Games.
 Whist is being supplanted by the game of hearts, which has always had a social popularity, and in the playing of which each one must Keep his or her wits alive, Then, again, the very name of the game breathes of sentiment, and it is inevit- able that in a mixed party it should give chances for sallles, jests and not few proposals. it is said
 And with hearts point euchre IS com ing into favor. This game is played the same as all euchre games, with the eX- ception that each player receives the number of points made at each game. In playing points rapidity is the feature which makes it very exciting, and it has been noted that less opportunity is offered for unfair dealing;
 Those who have played this game for the first time admit that 1t is the only fair way to play euchre. As, for in- stance, in the first game the head table score stands four to five, those who have made five are punched five, and they pro- gress Those who have made four are 'punched" four and are only one point behind Thus the game progresses, and at the end of the evenings play the one having the highest number of points wins In two hours play. if lone hands are allowed to count four, the score will be from no to 120 points.
 At large euchres, when two hundred players have been engaged it is found that as many games can be played as in the old way and with much added pleas ure to the players.
 All rules of euchre apply to this game. Lone hands can be played or not. If lone hands are played the head table should also be allowed to play lone hands, An assisting game can also be played but this form of playing is not re- cognized by good euchre players as pro o- CT. and the assisting game is no4lS 'S # used among our best euchre clubs.#
