the Hon. Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois will be the next speaker. This con- clusion has been reached through the free telegraphic interchange of views on the part of members-elect, and by the drift of sentiment as disclosed in the newspapers. Even generation ago it would have taken months to arrive at the choice of the men who make up the membership of congress. and then the result would not have been conclusive.
 The new method of choosing a speak CT is not so exciting as the old way, but it is just as effective. A year from now. when the republican members of the Fifty eighth congress meet in eau GUS to choose the speaker, they will merely register a decision which has been reached already.

It is characteristic of the Central American governments to in dulge in blufing, but it is not at ali probable that Colombia will be obstin- ate to the extent of driving the United States to take up the Nicaraguan route again.
 So far as technical data are con-. cerned, the government is in possession of full information as to both routes. The Photographic information waa gathered by MT.

Are there to be no more contests at Washington for the speakership, such as have been witnessed in the past? It seems not. The changed conditions, the facilities for instant communica- tion between all points in the United States-in short, the modern conditions which were so eloquently portrayed by Senator Beveridge in his great speech at CinClnnati-make it unnecessary for the members of the house of represen- t2tives to gather at Washington in ord CT for their views to become known.
 It is but two weeks today since the election Of the Fifty-eighth congress, and already it is practically settled that

PHOENIX. ARIZONA. NOV. IS, 1902.
The Difficulty Which COnfronts the
 Senators,


 It cannot be impressed too strongly upon the minds of the visiting sena- tors that they cannot possibly acquire a comprehensive or, indeed, anything like an adequate, conception of Arizona from their flying trip through the terri tory. Many Of our counties are each larger than some c: the eastern states. In the territory there are 113,OO0 square miles Unfortunately, the least invit- ing portions O; the country are visible from the car windows.
 But, if what is to be seen from the roads as the party travels through were all that could be seen, the fact would remain that the senators cannot begin to do themselves or the territory justice in such a brief visit. At this writing it is understood that the vis- itors may stay in Phoenix twentyfour hours. They were in Prescott during three or four hours of daylight. Per haps they will be in Tucson as long.
 The Republican will be entirely frank The feeling is prevalent throughout Arizona and New Mexico that at least a majority of the senators come out here prejudiced against the statehood proposition. Tn this belief we do not share. As we pointed out when the suggestions were made from Washington that some of the senators were already opposed to the omnibus bill and would hold to that attitude, such an imputation does them a great injustice. They are all honorable men. and we believe that they come here with minds open to conviction in favor of the admission of Arizona. The point that we make is that if they are to ignore the case as made up for the ter ritOry at Washington and are seeking for information here which will enable them to do justice to this great em- pire, they cannot accomplish their pur- pose within the few hours which they are able to devote to their investiga- tion.
 All Americans have smiled at the idea of an Englishman coming to the United States, travelling through the country for a month or two and then writing a book purporting to describe American conditions and the American people. Senator Beveridge would con- sider that Arizona man very cour- ageous who would undertake to go to Indiana as a stranger and within three or four days make a report which would be conclusive in determining what status that state should have for the next ten years. And yet, we could stow Indiana away in one corner of Arizona and hardly know that it was here.
 We are rot finding fault with the dis tinguished senators. We know that their time is sadly limited, and We un- derstand that it is impossible for them to give us more time, however much they might desire to do so. But we wish to press upon their attention the fact that they might stay here a month and still leave uncovered a vast amount of information which could be presented in favor O; Arizona's admis- sion to the union. We refuse to enter tain the suggestion that the senators would be disposed to make up a prac- tically eX-parte case adverse to this territory.
 But no graver responsibility has rested upon four United States senators in recent years.

IT Is NOTOUR Ara X.
Administration Will Have Nothing
to Say to Germany

Washington, September S.-As
matters stand, there Is nothing 10
be- done BY the State department IA
this iuncture. The officials have
not changed their view that the IN
cident was one between the German
and Haytain government and il
was not our business The Berlin
advices to the effect that the HAY
tain government bad expressed its
satisfaction with the SITUATION being
brought to the attention of the de
partment here. went to confirm the
officials in their position. No Amer
lean interests have been affected
unfavorably in their judgment, and
rs the Unlteu states has nat re-
cognized the revolutionists IN Hayti,
there Is no one to make complaint
to this government. On the whole,
it is felt that the termination of
Killick's career III summary fashion
may have a salutary effect not only
in Hayti, but also in South and
Central American countries where
heretofore the slightest revolution
arv disturbance has been made the
pretext for veXatious and expensive
interference with foreign merchant
vessels. Only recently the British
cruiser Phaeton was obliged to force
the Colombian government to re-
lease the British steamer Ecuador,
which it WAS intended to impress
into service as troop transport,
while still more recently Comman-
der Mclean adspted a similarly
vigorous course with respect to this
same Admiral killick and it is not
doubted that had he remained in
Bavtian waters he would have seiz-
ed the Crete-a-Pierrot for violation
of his warning to let foreign ship
ping alone. Altogether these active
naval measures are expected to have
beneficial results throughout that
section of the world so far as foreign
commerce is concerded.

ALLIGATOR AND
SNAKE SKINS.
Extinction of the Animals Threat
ened by the Demand for
Their Hides.
New York Post.

A new fashion in a modern city
may mean the defamation or even
extinction of an entire species of
the lower animals. The craze for
alligator skins during the past Il
years came very nearly making
that hideous reptile as dead as the
dodo. When a large animal brought
50 in the open market every lazy
darky down South who lived within
10 miles of pool or bayou was out
after "gator" from dawn to dusky
eve They killed so many that the
market was flooded after time and
then the price began to fall. 1t has
gone down steadily, and the latest
advices from the Louisiana bayous
and the Florida swamps give 50cents
for the raw hide of a saurian of
more than 10 feet in length and
only % for a chicken gator" This
hardly pays for their killing, and
the supply is running down in con-
sequence. The alligator has now
a chance for his life, and in many
districts is increasing in numbers
perceptibly.
On the other had, the snake fam
ilv is experiencing great hardship.
A dealer in fine snake skins said:
There Is a steady demand for the
more beautiful kinds which we are
never quite able to fill. Some vari-
cites are so popular that they bring
ridiculously high prices. The coral
snake of South America, which, by
the way, is not, IS currently believed,
a red creature, but a beautifully
notified scarlet, black, rosepink,
and brown one, has gone up from
10 cents to a dollar for the raw
skin in Brazil, and it is almost i'm
possible to get it this city. The few
that are caught go to Paris and St.
Petersburg, and now and then some
are shipped to the East, where they
enjoy even a larger popularity than
in the Occident
1.-THE most beautiful snake skin
in America is the marsh diamond
back RATHER of Central and Southern
Florida 1t is the king of Amer
lean ophidia. It's colors are almost
meteallic in their luster, and they
are arranged so as to form about
as brilliant a harmony as can be
found. The skin tans easily, and
when thoroughly prepared viii last
almost as we'll as a third-class
leather"
