the question. If they do they will Dewey him to a finish. Schley has had the sympathy of a majority of the American people, but American sympathy runs to a certain point and no farther. Dewey returned from Manila as an unc-owned king. Sixty |. days later he was the laughing stock of the nation. Such are the affec- tions of republic.
 This whole affair has been unfor- tunate. And the blame lies not with Admiral Sampson or Admiral Schley but with their ardent friend. Schley said: There is honor enough for all."
 Sampson throughout the contro- versy has maintained a dignified silence. Both have made their rec ord in other wars and on the high seas. Both are valiant officers and gentlemen beyond reproach. It is one of those sarcasms of life that both should lie under the mantle of tragedy. Sampson lies now with a beclouded brain and the verdict which maintains him officially as the hero of Santiago is meaningless to him. Schley is ruined financially and his declining years are deeply embittered. Had neither been en- gagged in that eventful battle, both would have been happier at the end

He Was No vioIinist.

Sitting one night in Chamberlin' hotel in Washington, said Amos J Cummings, who has just resumed his seat in Congress, were John Allen the Mississippi wit; Senator Vest and several other men of more or less national distinction, when the con- versation turned upon violin music, Vest is noted for his skill with the horse-hair bow, and the upshot of the discussion that he challenged me to a duel on the violin.
 T sent a servant around to a pawn shop and got an instrument which looked as if it had been used to bail d boat. Vest had 'Strad,' or a Guar narius, or an Amati, and he played a selection by Vieutemps. It was highly classical and beautifully done. T tucked my fiddle under m ; chin and scraped away The Arkansaw Traveller I had not been playing a minute before twenty feet were keep ing time to the noise, and several ne gro walters were doing Jubas. Of course, I won the prize; but Vest said: You're no violinist, Amos. You're nothing but a measly fiddler

THE SCHLEY CASE.

One of the fairest and most impar- tial reviews of the Schley case ap- pears in the Anglo-American of the City of Mexico. Its editor evidently writes from neutral and impartial standpoint. He says:
 "President Roosevelt has sustained the decision of the court of inquiry which tried Admiral Schley and technically censured him. This is the court of last appeal-except the popular verdict. There is no reason to doubt but that the decision of Roosevelt will be accepted by many of Schley's friends. Not that Roose- welt is omnipotent, but he is just and fair and the American people hold him above any sort of bias. Accord ing to this verdict no one was in com mand at Santiago. Each captain was fighting on his own hook and therefore the victory goes technically to the commander of the fleet, Ad- miral Sampson. It has been gener- ally supposed by Schley's friends that in Sampson's absence, Schley was commanding. This appears not to have been the case. Roosevelt comments Schley for his bravery and gallant action. He condemns him on a single point, for making the famous loop. He closes with the hope that the matter will be dropped and noth- ing more heard from it.
 |'The chances are however, that Schley's fool friends will now rush out and make a political issue out of

Briquetting Plant.

The briquette plant at Gallup, New Mexico is the first plant of its kind to be installed in the United States. For many years plant of this nature has been in operation in Calcutta, India, and was a success from its inception. The coal from the mines at Gallup lose their identity and combustible quality in few months after extrac- ton and exposure to the atmosphere and it is believed that briquetting will not only retain all the heat gen erating quality of the newly mined coal, but it will add largely to it. Coal slack and fine coal will be used in the manufacture of the briguettes and a great saving made in that class of coal. All slack and coal is now burned at the mines, but hereafter it will become as valuable as the lump coal. If this plant is successful many other plants will be installed at the various coal mines of the coun- try and especially at the mines where oil or asphaltum can be readily had. .-CoconinO Sun.

Beats Jules Verne.

From San Francisco to St. Peters bery by rail in twelve days; around the world in a parlor car, with nc more of a water voyage than thirty mile transfer across Bering strait iu enormous steel lighters. This is the trip promised within five years, for there are in New York, Seattle, Den yer and Washington, capitalists, en- gineers and explorers who have com pleted the preliminary work, and have arranged to start the building of the Trans Alaskan railroad April l5,
 It would have sounded ike a Jules Verne dream thirty years ago, said Mir. Granger, but it pre- sents no engineering d.IicUlties-n not half the difficulties of building a sub way in New York. The plan as adopted provides for a single-track road from Ihamna bay, inside of Cooks inlet, to Port Clarence OF Bering strait, to connect on this si1e with the steamers of the Trans Alaskan railway, running from Seattle, and the other with the steel ferries to make direct connection with the Trans-Siberian railway

A faiss Alarm.

There still seems to be a very strong doubt as to whether the re- ported capture of Bert Alvord and Bravo" Juan was a true story or only fairy tale. A Tucson paper says: United States Attorney Nave directed a letter to Colonel Juan Farouche, commander of the rurales, asking him if he had captured Alvord and Juan, and if so, whether it was his intention to hold him under the Mexican laws. In case the men were captured ana the Mexican authorities are not particular about holding them under the Mexican laws. Mir. Nage will at once take the proper steps 10 have them extradited. Both GI.'l have been indicted in this court for robbing the United States mail, and they would be tried on this cha a-ye first. As yet neither the Uni,ed States marshaI's office or the United States attorneys office has heard any thing official concerning the capture of Juan and Alvord, but NIT. Nave took the above action 70 determine whether there was anything in the report from TOmbstOne."

GLASS HOUSE OCCUPANT.

Our contemporary this morning again publishes that much talked of ''Vicker's telegram" and in its usual childish way asks the Jour ual-Miner to tell us all about it. ' Just what there is to tell about it, more than is expressed in the alleged telegram itself, or what more our con- temporary wants to know about it, the Journal-MiEer is certainly at a loss to even guess. This much how ever can be said: Admitting, for the sake of argument solely, that Dr
 Vickers did send such a telegram
 that it was received by the person tc whom it was addressed, it was simply business proposition from one in dividual to another, and is looked up on as such by all fair minded people
 But, just for arguments sake again
 admit further, that the proposition made was accepted by the person re. ceiving it, neither the person send. ing the telegram nor the person re. ceicing it and accepting the proposi- ton would have been guilty of any political or social crime, and neither of them would have been guilty, by entering into such a combination, (viz to maintain good price for print
 ing contract) of an act of which tht editor of the Courier has not beer guilty on more than one occasion
 People who live in glass house: should not throw stones. The editol of the Courier will scarcely deny that he has entered into combinations tC maintain the price of printing, anC this thing of condemning and slurrine others and of trying to make politica
 capital out of it is contemptible il the extreme, and unworthy of a place among fair minded men. The Jour nal-Miner is in a position to explain other transactions, nearer home thaI that telegram deals with, and whict might pinch corns other than its own

A Pertinent Query.

The Journal Miner is in receipt of postal card containing the following under the caption, "A Query" Why does not Prescott have a band. lam sure there is musical ability enough in our little city, which is not com plete without a band. A Citizen"
 The query is very pertinent one. Prescott should have a band by all means. It had such an organization when it was less pretentious than at present. As "Citizen" says, too, there is sufficient musical ability in the town for a good organization of this kind. As we understand it there are sufficient instruments in the town to supply band with. This is a po- litical year which should give consid- erable employment for it. Who will take the initiative and organize a band9

Senator Tillman does not seem to be the only freak of that name which South Carolina has produced.
 The Journal Miner congratulates President Roosevelt and Col. Me Cord, both on the happy and satis- factory outcome of the marshalship question.
 If all the pictures of Prince Henry are good likenesses we are forced to the conclusion that he is not only Prince of Prussia, but also the Car of Russia and was formerly the Prince of Wales.
 The president on Thursday sent to the senate the names of Col. NJ. H. McCord to be United States marshal of Arizona, and Major J. H. McClin tock, to be postmaster at Phenix. Both are excellent appointments.
 Ex-Governor Hogg of Texas has been the subject of considerable newspaper comment, some favorable and some otherwise. He has peculi- arities no doubt, but in refusing to see King Edward, rather than dress in knee brooches, he showed his good sense.
 Washington is now the greatest map-making city in the world, an honor formerly held by Geneva, Switzerland. The national capital is turning out more and better maps than any other of the globe and, as a result the finest photographers and map engravers in Europe have been attracted to this country.
 Senator Tillman has sent notice to President Roosevelt through Senator Platt that 1t will not be safe for the president to visit Charleston. This is serious reflection on the people of South Carolina, but, after all, Till man may be correct, as constituency which would send a Tillman to the United States Senate might be capa ble of doing worse things than that.
 Fl Paso is all worked up over the starting of a cockpit in that city. The laws of Texas provide for licen- sing cock fights and the people are helpless to prevent them, as the pro prietor of the cockpit has taken out his license.
 A majority of democratic senators is said to favor administering severe punishment on Tillman for his bully ing propensities exhibited in the sen ate last Saturday. All democrats are not of the Tillman stripe, and believe in preserving the dignity of the sen ate and not in turning it into prlze ring.

Takes an Optimistic View.

The editor of the Anglo-American, published in the City of Mexico, is an optimist as will be seen by the following:
 "A gentleman from Guadalajara writes letter that is entirely too pes simistic for this paper. l am not one of those who believes that the world is growing worse, believe that it is getter better all the time, that men and women are better now than they used to be, and that our children 6 children will improve upon us. Take Adam for example. He would have been blackballed from any we'll or dered club for the sncaking trick he played on Eve. Jacob is spoken of as an example, but he put up a job on his poor, old blind father, swindled his brother Esau and hornswaggled his father-in-law. Almost any church would be ashamed to have Jacob on the rolls those days. David and Solomon were clever writers, but their morals would have hardly passed muster at the present time. Sampson was Bswery sport of his time. Elisha was a pretty fair sort of a patriarch considering his times There is nothing to prove that he was not in the prophetic business for what he could make. He was not rounder like Noah or a lady's man like Solomon and yet a man nowadays who would curse lot of little children and have them sent to the interior because they called him "baldhead" would be looked upon as a poor example of Christian- ity. Of course it is not pleasant to be twitted about the lack of hair, when one reaches that age, but there is nc justification in feeding the little an imals to a menagerie. Mighty few people are as good as they ought to be, but they are a great deal better than when the Good Book was written for our guidance"

The Cabinet as a Social Factor.

The preeminent circumstance which makes the cabinet the social power that it is, is found in the character of the body itself. There is not a man in the circle of the presidents advis- CTS who is not sacrificing personal in- terests every day that he continues to share in the management of the ma chinery of the government. An arti- cle in the March Delineator deals at length with the social position and influence of the cabinet members and their families, and some new and ex- elusive photographs, among them one of Mrs. Roosevelt, are given which will tend to -nake the personalities of the cabinet iiiic~ 1atter known.

Frank Gibson, who had worked in a coal mine, came to town and the second thing he saw was a straw pile and went to sleep. The first thing that caught his eye was a saloon. He was dug out of the horse feed by officer Lawrence and faced the re- corder yesterday afternoon. He said that he had walked from Maricops and stopped over in Tempe to wash his feet and then came to Pheuix. He wanted to get to Prescott or Je- rome where he hoped 10 land d job.
