rather amusing interview which the
London Chronicle correspondent had

The correspondent describes Botilla

His shoulders in particular are i'm

are carried clumsily swinging. He
wears a dropping brown mustache:
small, pointed beard, that does not
conceal a firm, round chin, and short
hair. His face is full and pleasant
light blue eyes twinkle below heavy
brows. The small. beautifully carved
nose that often accompanies Huguenur
descent is his best feature. He was
magnifcently bronZed and looked like
a very fit south of England farmer
rather than fighting general. With
him were Jan De Wet, younger broth

Beyond THE outelmost limits of the So
lar system extending through un-
known regions Nf space are the vast
luminous bodies that add so much
grandeur to the heavens at night-the
stars. The distance between tlpa earth
and the nearest star is so great that
long periods OF time are necessary for
a ray OF light to pass through that
space. Very little is known of the
conditions existing on these distant
worlds Astronomers think that they
are suns radiating energy to systems
similar to our own. Beyond these the
telescope seems to reveal masses of
nebula which may be undergoing the
formation of worlds.
Looking toward the heavens on Il
cloudless night numerous stars may be
seer twinkling in their respective
places. Their light is not great, yet if
they were suddenly darkened how des-
olata would the heavens become! Eacn
one Of these. resplendent in it's own
beauty and gorgeousness, is wonderful
beyond comparison.
If each star is a sun, the center of
a system like our own, and all these
systems roll through the blue and
luminous immensely not varying in
their relative positions, the grandeur
OF THE universe is beyond all power of
imagination. The earth clothed in all
its splendor-magniticen decorated
in the varied robes of nature from the
icy zones to the hottest region-be-
comes but an insignificant part of it
all.

Since their arrival their time has been stUdiously occupied with an examination of many mines of this well known syndicate, and it Is useless to state that they are all more shan grdtiiied with wha they have seen or are interested i'll. They have been pilOted to the west, to the south and to the east of Prescott. oy Captain Phillips, and at each point touched have been more than pleased with not alone the showing made, but 1 likewise are they convinced in the wisdom of their earlier investments. The mines of this syndicate embrace some of the best in Arizona, and when future development Is had on them, there Is no doubt but what the returns will richly reward them.
 Last evening a pretty banquet was rendered them, many representative citizens being in attendance. The occasion was graced with good will, genial fellowship and plenty of min ing talk.

4 GREAT PHYSICIAN.


 Dr. Adolf Lorenz, the great Vienna surgeon and discoverer of the blood less method of operation in con genital hip dislscation and other similar deformities, is in Los Angeles. He has been the most-talked-about man in the medical profession since the great specialists of the country were battling for the life of President Mckinley. During the past few weeks, since it was heralded through the press of the country that Dr. LoIenz had been engaged at an enor- nous fee by George Armour to come from Vienna to Chicago to operate on his young daughter, Lolita. Dr. LOT entz has suddenly found himself with a reputation among the laity of America greater than that which he possessed among the surgeons with whom his name for years has been familiar.
 He uses no instruments except in extremely rare cases, but administers in all operations. The press reports from Los Angeles state that hundreds of mothers with their little cripples daily implore the doc tor to operate, and many pitiable scenes take place. He has affected many cures, and is the most talked of professional man in the west. He disdains notorietv, but so wonderful has been many Of his cures among those who were born with crippled hips, it is impossible to keep bis skill ful work quiet, He returns to Europe in short time.

OUTLOOK FOR THE TERRITORIES.

It is pleasing to note he early in- dica;ions hat the federal senate will promptly redeem the promise to take up the territorial admission bill at an early stage of the next session. That promise was given in order to pre- vent Senator Quay. in the closing days of the last session, from push ing the bill to a final vote at that time. Tine chairman of the committee on territories, Senator Beveridge, an nounces that steps will at once be taken for personal acquaintance, on the part of the committee, with the claims of the territories for statehood. The capitals of the territories are to be visited at once by members of the committee, aEd the testimony of lead ing citizens will be taken as basis of final action.
 It is important, However, as indi- cated in The Herald's siecial dis patches from Washington, that the territories put the best foot for most" in their showing when the sen atorial visitors arrive. There is un- doubtedly a strong bulwark of oppo- sition, the. same that has been en- countered in every attempt to secure admission, but that may be overcome by practical demonstration of the claim of the territories to statehood.
