ment for the lecture to be delivered in Dake's opera house the evening of Thursday, March 26, by the famous Captain Richard P. Hobson. of Span ish war fame.
 The Topeka, Kansas, Herald. of the 9th inst, in speaking of his lecture in that city, said:
 Captain Richard P. Hobson's lee ture at the Auditorium last night pleased nearly a thousand people. The United States as a World Power was his theme and he drew into it in- formation gleaned from his years of service in the navy and his years of travel. as we'll as all the enthusiasm of young manhood.
 "Hobson believes in his country He sees for it a glorious future and he is urging the people to avoid the mis- take of dealing penuriously with its navy. which he considers its greatest means of attaining to further great ness. In brief. his lecture sets forth the theory that fhis nation by its geographical, sociological and indus trial peculiarities and superiorities. is destined, by means of large navy with which to compel respect for its wishes, to bring about and preserve universal peace.
 "The Spanish war, said he, twas the graduation of the nation. The century and a quarter previous was but the country's period in pinafores and in latin school. Now we have our diploma and have. through this last war. stepped forth to take a place among the great nations of the earth. Heretofore we have stayed at home. Now this country is to go abroad and make a conquest of the world
 The lecturer was soaked to his finger tips with figures. He showed by sta tistics that this country has one twentieth of all the people in the world; that it produces one-third of all the food stuffs of the world, more steel than all the rest of the world {; that its manufacturing and banking interests are by far greater than all the rest of the world combined. For almost half an hour he cited table after table of figures, making them glow with life as he showed by them the greatness and superiority of this country. Summarized, they all com bined to show conclusively, that this is the biggest and bulliest country the sun ever shone on and that it is able, with one hand behind its back. to wallop half the earth, should that much of the globe get refractory and need thrashing. Its superiority is in dustrial, intellectual, physical and sociological. America. according to Hobson is practically the whole cheese.
 The mission of America shall be to make all nations recognize this truth and live together in harmony"
 Discussing the industrial conditions of this country and touching on the struggle going on between capital and labor. Captain Hobson deprecated the fact that auy stuggle exists.

The council yesterday passed the bill providing exemption from taxa tion to the Arizona Power company s enterprise. It had previously passed the house and now only waits the gov ernor's signature to become law.
 It was dull day in the house after the excitement of Thursday, over the Cowan bill. A few unimportant matters were disposed of among them being the passage of a substitute for St. Charles's primary election bill. A number of new bills were introduced, in spite of the fact that the legislature has an existence of only four days.
 The Cowan bill and the O'Neill monument bill was received in the council and under the rules were laid on the table for one legislative day, which in this case means until Mon day, no session being held in either house today.
 Speaking of the aftermath of the NONdu Dlll uSuI III Iuc nOucSs buC lNt- publican says:
 ''It is not a matter of record, but the opponents of the bill were inclin- ed to be dissatisfied with the rulings. and their dissatisfaction was express ed soon after adjournment. The dis placement of BarrOw's motion for re consideration by Roemer's similar mo- tion was especially objected to be- cause it provided for immediate con- sideration. What Messrs. Barrow and Rowe wanted was for the members to take the matter home with them and give it prayerful attention. At that particular moment the members of the house were not in a prayerful mood, and that is why Mir Barrow wanted it to go over.
 "A violent verbal assault was made on Speaker Powers by Mir. Rowe, who charged him in the first place with ingratitude. Who, he asked, put you in this position of power. Was it those bushwhackers from the south or was it we gentlemen from the north?' The session having been ad- journed the speaker declined to make a ruling on the point raised by MT. Rowe"

CITY COUNCIL MEETING

A special meeting of the city coun- cil was held yesterday afternoon for the purposes of receiving bids for do- ing the printing and feeding the city prisoners the ensuing year.
 Herman Brinkmeyer was awarded the contract for feeding the prisoners at 15 cents per meal, there being no other bids presented.
 When the printing bids were opened they were found to be as follows: Journal Miner S237 Courier 2Jt Herald ICi
 As Mir. Martin, manager of the Journal Miner, had been hurriedly called away from the city the evening before an employe of the office hastily made out the bid and through an oversight failed to file the required affidavit that the paper had been pub lished one year. When the council discovered that the Courier had at tached such an affidavit they began to investigate the matter and then. for the first time. they discovered that such law had gone into effect March l6. 1901. Being desirous of dealing fairly and believing an unintentional oversight had been made. they post poned letting the contract till today.

LEGISLATIVE D0lNGS.

Rowe's bill. for the relief of the secretary of the territory in the mat ter of fees for articles of incorporation was defeated in the house yesterday by tie vote. Prior to vote being taken out, Rowe as committee chair man, unloaded lot of bills in the house giving the Cowan bill, which provides for turning the fees for ar ticles of incorporation into the terri torial treasury, place away down on the list. He hoped by this means to smother it, as the legislature only has about a week more of existence.
 The special committee appointed to investigate the secretary's office sub mitted its report. Speaking of this report the Republican says:
 ''The report is type written docu- ment of thirty seven pages and con- tains the conclusions of the commit tee based upon an examination of the secretary, his assistant and employees of the office. St. Charles, one of the members of the special commit tee, refused to sign the report. The report charges that the report made to the governor regarding the amount of the business of the office was incor- rect, and that it furnished only about one half of the actual receipts from the business of interpretations alone. The receipts are fixed by the com mittee at s2S, 194 for last year. Inac- curacy is also charged in the matter of the report regarding the expenses of the office, which the committee concludes was for the year g., 932. 50. The committee was unable to find any fee book. The secretary in his exam ination said he had never kept any and that none of his predecessors had kept any. He believed that he was not required to keep such book; he had an account book containing rec ord of the business of his office, but that was only for his own convenience and for the convenience of those who were doing business with the office That record had been destroyed sometime in January"
 In the council, J. w. Barrow intro duced bill for the encouragement of railroad construction. A motion by Jarvis to call up the woman's suffrage bill was countered by Barrow with a motion to table the "call up motion and it prevailed leaving the suffrage bill still in the committee.
 The council got into ''passing" mood, and passed five house bills and two council bills The former quin- tette having already passed the house, they now go to the governor for his action. The bills which have passed both houses are as follows: Fixing limitation of time in damage suits: fixing limit of time in which a contest of will may be instituted; defining grand larceny; amending di- vorce laws; providing for appointment of deputies by county officers. The house concurrent resolution, censur- ing the council for resolution passed by it, on the statehood question, was laid over in the council until Friday. It is not likely to pass.
