WEAKENING BOERS
 IN EAST TRANSvAAL
But the War Is Not Understood to Be
 Nearly Over.

London Feb. 20.-In a dispatch from Pretoria the correspondent of the Times says there is no doubt that the Boers in the eastern Transvaal colony are greatly demoralized and they are so hard pressed that many are reluctant to continue the struggle. In an inter rupted letter from Gen Piet Viljoen to MT. Schalkburger the writer urges the latter to do something to counteract the spirit of surrender among the Boers- It is rumored that Generals Botha and Schalkburger are trying to arrange a meeting.
 In spite Of these indications. however. there is no ground for believing that the war will be immediately over. says the Times correspondent. The influence of the Boer leaders may still prevail, and in any case the majority would refuse to be bound by the action of the Boers in the eastern Transvaal.

NOTABLE VISITORS
Ex-Governor Drake of Iowa and Party
 Arrived Yesterday.

Ex-Governor Drake of Iowa. his son-in-law. Dr. J. l.. Sawyer, Mrs. Sawyer and two children, all residents of Centerville, la, arrived here yes terday morning on the M. & P. train time. They are stopping at the Hotel Adams. The party has been making an extended tour of the south. making where a daughter of Dr. and Mrs, Sawyer Is attending school.
 Governor Drake is one of Iowa's leading men. and one of her best loved governors because of his great gen erosity. his interest in the public wei fare and his numerous benefactions to state and municipality. He founded Drake university and gave liberal do- nations for improvements and for sci entific research. Among other gifts to his home town, Centerville, was q $25,000 public library and q s30.000 church. He has also donated liberally to church enterprises all over the state.
 Dr. Sawyer is also man of consid- erable prominence. being one of the foremost surgeons of the state, his practice extending over northern Mis- souri. He is chief surgeon of the I. I. I railroad. and local surgeon of the C., k. I. & P. railroad.
 Though they have spent but one day in Phoenix. but Governor Drake and Dr. Sawyer express themselves as favorably impressed with Arizona s winter climate. and say 1t is incompar- able with any section they have visited on their southern tour.

WHY THEY WERE CHEAP.

President Mckinley used to tell with which related to his early days in the law. On the way to and from his office he was accustomed to pass a butchers shop. and for long time was puzzled by a certain notice which he saw there.
 In the morning he would read, Good pork sausage. 20 cents" On his return in the evening he would sometimes find those sausages still 20 cents a pound. but more often the notice was changed and the sign read: Fine pork saf- sages. I2 cents"-or sometimes. 10 cents.-
 The matter. he said, used to worry him. Sausages were not of so perish able nature that they would not keep till the next day. and he could not understand it. So one evening he stopped at the shop.- made some casual remark, and then inquired the price of sausages.
 Ten cents.'' said the shopkeeper.
 "But." replied MT. Mckinley. they were % cents this morning"
 ''So they were, Mir Mckinley" re- piled the butcher. "So they were. Then I had 'em; now I haven't. Sausages at 10 cents is simply to get me a reputa- tion for cheapness. See?"
 The future president saw, and was in the habit of saying that a great many l-eputations were made in that way.- Youths Companion

CORONER CALLED ON
Asked to Make Report on the Condi-
 tion of Prof James.

The following letter, addressed to "The Coroner" was received yesterday by Justice Cray:
 New York. Feb. 15-Sir: Yesterday N. Y- papers reported the serious condition of my friend George Wharton James. in your city, from snake bite. May I trespass upon your kindness to send me a local paper containing the latest news of him.
 Yours truly, CHAS. TURNER.
 The letter shows, first, that the New York papers have some circulation, and secondly that the efforts of correspond ents are appreciated by readers thous- ands of miles away.
 The letter will not be answered by the coroner. as he learned on inquiry that the "corpse" was able to speak for itself.

ONE ON THE OFFICER.

The other day Officer McNally hap pened to meet a little body in skirts near Peebles Corner. crying bitterly.

 A SERENADE.-The Pioneer band last night serenade Mir and Mrs. Alex Rheinstein. at their home on North First street. The newly married cou- pie made happy response to the compli- ment by short speeches. followed by the serving of refreshments.
 MISS JACKSON'S CONCERT-A very good house confronted Miss Leo nora Jackson. the violinist, at the Doris theater last night. A former nix was her best advertisement. She had lost nothing of the skill which made her popular. but on the other hand. she had gained much. Her pro- gramne was ably filled in by MT. Henry J. Fellows, the tenor. and MT. William Bauer. the pianist. Whenever Miss Jackson returns to Phoenix she will be warmly welcomed
 VISIT OF RAILROAD MEN.-It is likely that Phoenix never before had so many railroad auditors in her midst at one time, as she had yesterday for about three hours. About 3 o'clock a special train came in from the south bearing the following named gentle men: Auditor Young of the Union Pacific; G. T. Klink. general auditor of the Southern Pacific; Travelling Audi tor Moulthrop. of the same company: C. M.

 Arizona, for the Equitable Life Assur- ance society, of a historical sketch of
 the life of Henry B. Hyde, the great
 president of the society. and whose
 career was coincident with his own
 until i'll health compelled him to relin-
 quish the active management of the
 affairs of the company. MT. Hyde was
 the founder of the society and one of
 the pioneers. in the business of life in-
 surance. Just half Il century ago he
 entered upon this line of work in
 subordinate position with the Mutual
 Life Insurance company In 1859 he
 conceived the project of organizing the
 Equitable. which was done in 1860. The sketch of his life deals fully with his
 connection with the company and quite extensively with his personal excel
 fences and charms.
 IN TREMBLING ANTICIPATION.- A committee of Shriners called at this office last night and requested that something be written that would inject a little stamina into w C. Fosters backbone. They have got him on the list for slaughter tonight. and he has already begun to weaken. He begins to think that trekking after the camel may lead into q desert whose boundary lines are just beyond the limits of no where. or a morass from which he can be pulled out only through the big pipe of the oil well at Camel Back moul- tain. He was very pale all day yester- day. and his hair was much more sill vered at eventide than when the first rays of the morning sun shot down the right of way of the Phoenix City railway. By o'clock C.. m. tonight he may not have any hair at all. But his friends all believe him brave. if his knees do wobble little. and they are all invited to turn out this afternoon and watch him hold on to the rope.

IRRIGATION ENTHUSIASTS
Over Jealous Friend of National Aid
 Defeating Their Own Object.

MT. w. H. Code. who has been fin Washington for some months in the employ of the government in its in vestiSations on the subject of irriga- tion. has returned home again. He spent good part of yesterday in con ference with the water storage con- mssioners.
 Naturally he is being interrogated considerably since his return regarding the prospects of irrigation Legislation this session of congress. While he is not a congressman, he has been in a position to talk with many members of congress and has heard more or less of the views of others.
 MT. Codes observations are not par ticularly cheering to those who arc anxiously looking forward to govern ment aid in the construction of storage reservoirs. He says the subject recently seems 10 have received a setback from an unexpected source. The question has been over-agitated by enthusiasts and statements made for effect that were greatly overdrawn. The result has been that the eastern people. whom it was hoped to "educate." have been "buffaloed" and made to fear the su- premacy of the west rather than a mutual interest with the arid sections. Mir. Maxwell and others who have been the cause havr pointed out that millions and millions of acres in the west are just waiting for a little government help when they will rush into the market with n supply of agri- cultural produce the magnitude of which appals the eastern farmer. who at once begins to trcmblc for his ov market.
