WAR SQUADRON MANEuvERs
Begun OF the Atlantic Coast and Will
Last Until September.

Washington. July 2O.-The summer
maneuvers of the North Atlantic
squadron off the New England and
Middle Atlantic coast have now actual
ly begun. From now until the end of
the first week in September the squad.
u will work out problems prepared
bSDewey or the general board.
The picturesque feature of the sum-
mer's work will be the attempt of sew
eral war vessels representing an
enemy, to gain the coast through n
vigilant defending squadron. The lat
ter will send out scouts" and use Its
utmost endeavor to locate the invaders
before any of them may slip through
the lines and put the guardians of the
Nations safety to shame. The navy
department now announces that this
feature of the maneuvers Will take
place from the goth to the 10Th OF
August, inclusive.
This .'war game" will cover an area
of water 800 miles down the coast ana
perhaps 500 or more outward in the At
lantic. The division of the North AT.
lantic squadron into an attacking ana
defensive force has been placed entire
ly in the hands of Rear Admiral HlG
ginson. The "enemy's" ships Will be
the fieetest which can be conveniently
assigned to that duty, for slow-moV-
ing craft would furnish too easy prey
for the defending ships and scouts.

there and college mates who are now
prominent men, and had a friendship
of several years standing with Secre-
tary Hay, whom l warmly liked.
As to the United States relations
with China, he said:
"You can assert emphati tically that
not only the Chinese government. but
the people of China, are most grateful
for the United States fair dealing and
for the friendly disposition shown
throughout the recent difficulties, and
her late action in the Tien Tsin ques-
tlon has still further increased China's
gratitude. The United States will GER
any power in the commercial and in
dustrial development of the Chinese
empire.
"An IN illustration of the imperial
feeling toward the United States, you
can say that when l returned to Pc
king with the recent Chinese mission
to Germany, the Emperor and Dow
ager Empress expressed to me their
gratitude for the good behavior of the
American troops at Peking and their
appreciation of Americas attitude
generally"

Bryan Declares That Loyal Democrats
Cannot Be Shelved.

Lincoln, Neb., July 19.-Mr. Bryan
will not accept harmony at the terms
proposed by the reorganizers, the shelv-
ing of the men who fought the battles
of 1896 and 1900. He says in the Com
moner:
"The disastrous congressional cleo
ton of 1874 is only feeble Illustration
of what may be expected II the party
comes again under the leadership of
those who were recreant in recent cam
paigns. What will be the result II the
men who We're loyal in 1896 and 1900
are asked to rally under the standard
of those whom they mistrust and are
required to surrender Il deep con
yiction and condemn their own votes!
If the party although it polled mil
lion more votes) could not win when
ten per cent. of the members OF the
party were dissatisfied, how can 1t hope
to win when ninety per cent. OF the
members are dissatisfied?
"HarmOny, on the terms proposed,
means not only the abandonment Of
principle for the promise of success,
but 1t means failure to secure sue
cess, the trading of a birthright for a
mess of pottage, without getting the
pottage. The anything to win policy
is an insult to those who have con
yictions and 1t ought to be offensive
even to those who have no convictions,
If they have political judgment"

least an hour Colorado Midland train
No. 5, which left Denver in the morn

light engine out to find out whether
1t was ditched or merely isolated by

n few miles east of Florissant moving
slowly westward and preceded by the
entire crew on foot. Conductor and
brakemen waded through water and
examined every foot of the track be-

several times were driven back to

reached Florissant about 3 O'Clock
and was held there until the storm
subsided and the water had run off

The storm started about noon and
rain fell so fast that from ldlewild to

The Coconino sun., 1902-05-17

AN equitable tax law should be the work of the next Arizona legislature. There is no good reason why the wealth Of Arizona taken from her mines should be distributed among nonresident stockholders, and these same wealth producing properties should escape paying little or no taxes. It is no won- der that the rate of taxation is high when two-thirds of the property within the territory escapes taxation. The way to cure this evil is to elect men to the legislature that will enact law whereby the great mining corporations will be required to pay their share of the expenses of the territorial and coun- ty governments. The aggregate amount of taxable property in the territory last year was thirty-six million dollars, and every taxpayer knows that it will in- crease to three times that amount with proper law taxing the productive mines, and correspondingly reduce taxation.
