UNWORTHY OF ATTENTION.

Washington, March 2S.-The state de- partmeEt will take no steps to bring to the attention of the Danish govern meth the charges against the integrity of the American statesmen preferred by Captain Christmas and yesterday brought to the attention of the house representatives. The department re- gards the charges a3 unworthy of its attention by reason of the insufficient evidence and obvious errors in the statements of the alleged facts.
 The department is perfectly aware also that the Danish government does not intend to pay one cent of the s5O0 900 claimed by Christmas as his com mission, so that of coarse none of that money could be used to corrupt Amer ican statesmen and newspapers.

QUALEYS TROUBLE
A Stock Jobbing Scheme For Which
 Arizona Must Suffer.

4 dispatch from New York was re- gently reprinted in The Republican re- counting the troubles of l. l. .Qualey and ether officials of the Horseshoe Mining company who were arrested on the charge of grand larceny. The complaint was made by a man name.l Effinger who had paid S900 for soc shares Of stock and who had been un- able to sell his stock back again to Mr. Dudley for the price paid. although Dudley purpOrted to have bought back other stock of the company at from $10 to $14.50 per share.
 Of Qualey's opera tions the following comments are made by the Solomon vile Bulletin published in the vicinity of the Horseshoe Company's property:
 The Horseshoe Mining company has been. under the direction of Dudley, working a group of claims in the Lone Star district north oi SolomonVille, with headquarters at Stafford. The company was organized in New Jersey and but little is known of it's opera tions here. Last fall prospectus Of the company was published in the i Bridgeport Farmer and a few copies l of that paper reached Arizona. The statements made in the advertisement
 were eXtravagant and ridiculous to ali who are acquainted with practical min i ing developments as carried on in Ari- zona. A few quotations Of that adver- | tisement will serve to show upon what

Grand Rapids Boy Honored.

The Record-Herald last Sunday
printed a good picture and gave a
short account of the career of w. f.
M. McRaith, son of Nj. J. McRaith,
one of the old residents of this city.
The RecOrd-Herald says: "W. f. M :.
M'Raith, who has just graduated with
distinction from the Chicago Law
School, has been for the past six years
and is now one of the most faithful
patrolmen on thelChicago police force.
Mr.. McRaith long since set for him
self the goal he has just won. He was
born in Grand Rapids, Wis, thirty
years ago, and went through the high
School there and afterward through
the normal school at Oshkosh, Wis.
In 1893 he came to Chicago, deter
mined to study law, but hard times
overlook him, and it was not until
1896 that he secured steady employ
ment by passing fine examination
for service on the police force
Two years ago he began the study of
law, and what with his work over his
books and the needs of his duties as an
officer he has labored an average of
almost eighteen hours day. He is a
first class policeman, of course, but he
is also a fine orator, as those who
heard him speak on the 1.-THE Achlev We
ment of the Law" at the recent COM
mencement exercises can attest. Mr..
McRaith is not yet married, because,
he says, he has not had time to think
about it. Now he will lay aside the

of authority to take his place among
men who interpret law
