SUBSCRIPTIONS DUE.

The undersigned has an interest
in the collection of subscriptions
due the Press. Some hundreds
of dollars are scattered here and
there in sums of from $l.00 to
$500. It's a small amount perhaps
to you, but in the aggregate it's a
mighty host to us. Don't conclude
that your local newspaper is the
last thing to pay, its the first paper
you read, and it ought to be given
a prior consideration in the ba!sn-
cling of accounts. We don't like
to dun in the columns of the paper !;
we don't like to do it through the
postoffice. and still less do we en-
Joy calling personally; send the
money in, or we will have to resort
TO one of these methods.

CONSULAR SERVICE
 UNDER DISCUSSION
Serious Charges Against Our Repre-
 sentatives Abroad.

Washington, January 19. - In the house today several miscellaneous measures were passed. Among them was the senate Hawaiian fire claims bill The consular and diplomatic ap- propriation bill, the third of the regu- lar budgets, was passed, and fair pro- gress was made with the District of Columbia appropriation bill. During the consideration of the diplomatic bill MT. Mcclellan of New York precipitated . discussion concerning our diplomatic and consular service, which took a wide range and led to some other scandalous charges against our consular represen- tatives in Mexico by MT. Slayden of Texas.
 Mir Mcclellan submitted figures to show that our consulates. compared with those of other fiTst-class coun- tries, were underpaid but over-manned. Mir Grosvenor of Ohio declared that the charges against our consular officials were unjustified.
 MT. Slayden of Texas criticised very severely the character of our consular officers abroad, especially some of those in Mexico. Some Mexican consulates, he said, were made regular asylums for'invalids and drunkards." Tt makes an American blush," said he, "to hear the stories that are told of some of our official representatives.
 Proceeding. he narrated how a Unit ed States consul at Saltillo. Mexico. with two companions last summer en- tered the office of a newspaper editor to assault him.
 Were any cnarges made to the state department against this official?'' asked MT. Adams of Pennsylvania.
 Charges have been repeatedly made" replied MT. Slayden. This par ticular official left town between night

BOTH BRANCHES.

The legislature in the br!es -'rre it has been in session has created ( very favorable impression upon those who witnessed the deliberations of yester- day. From a pulchritudinous point of view it is rather ahead e any of it's late predecessors. There was also an absence yesterday of any tendency toward horse play. but on the contrary a disposition to transact business de- gently and in order. II Is rather too early yet to point out the leaders on the democratic side in either house. The most active yesterday in the as sembly was w. T. Webb of Graham and in the council Henry Ashurst of CoConino.
 There was one very observable thing especially on the house side. The members could not disabuse their minds of the notion that the legisla- ture was democratic gathering. AL fusion has been made to Speaker Pow CTS speech of acceptance. Then again when a motion to adjourn was made another member forgot himself and de- sired to amend by a call for caucus of the democratic members immediate | ly after adjournment.

Washington. January 19 (SpeciaD.-- The developments in the statehood matter today have been of a character to give great hope to the friends of the omnibus bill. Senator Foraker con- cluded his speech, begun last week, anc it was marked not only by great vigor of expression, but by telling points against Beveridge and Bard and others who have attempted to show that ArI- zona and New Mexico are totally un fitted for statehood.
 The senator directed his remarks to Arizona today, and dwelt upon the misstatements of the senate committee on territories with reference to the treasury of the territory. He claimed that Arizona's population had increas- ed more than 10 per cent in the last ten years, and he challenged the Oppo- sition to show another politIca: division which had made such a remarkable growth.
 In referring to the declaration of New England senators concerning rotten boroughs'' he grew sarcastic and referred to the status of some of the states at the time of their admis- sion. He said it was a pity that Della ware with its meager population was not represented in the senate at pres ent, for if it were the spectacle un- doubtedly would be presented Of it's two senators opposing the omnibus bill. The senator drove home the fact tha1 Arizona was entitled to admission by virtue of the high character of it's peo- pie and the extent of its resources. Referring to the unit of representa- ton in the congress, he made telling point that inasmuch as Arizona had increas- ed its population so wonderfully in the last ten years. it was certain that by the time of the taking of the next cen sus. between which time the basis of representation could not be changed, it would have a sufficient population tO meet every requirement.. In connection with this statement he demonstrated to what degree many of the states of the union had failed to make good'' in lis respect at the time of their ad- mission.
 It was a scathing speech, by all odds the best of the session, and it com manded the undivided attention of the senate. Upon it's conclusion Senator Alger of Michigan hurried to the seat of the senator and warmly congratu- lated him. It is said tonight that Sen ator Alger expressed to Senator Fora ker his intention of supporting the omnibus bill
 Certain it is that the friends of the bill are feeling very jubilant. Senator Quay declares that it will pass, and dis interested persons who have been watching the fight say there Is much more than a fighting chance. In view of the elastic rules of the senate and the fertility of resource of Aldrich and

to be elected according to the caucus programme the time for that move hau not yet come; the customary resolution of authorization had not been offered.
 The following other places were then filled: Sergeant at arms, Thomas Hamilton of Santa Cruz; waterman, MT. Heron of Yavapai; page. Alfred Trippel of Pima. Other positions were named but for the time were passeo.
 The rules of the Twenty first legisla- ture were temporarily adopted and a committee of two on the motion of Mir Roomer of Cochise was appointed to wait on the council and inform t that the house was ready for business. This committee consisted of Messrs. Morri- son oi Yavapai and Henry of Gila. The next few minutes were taken up with the receiving and dispatch of mes sages to the council and the governor with the object that a joint session of the houses might be held for the p.:~- pose of receiving the message of tke governor. Tn the meantime Mir Woolf of Maricopa earned the gratitude of the press by reminding the house that in the hurry of making preparations no provision had been made for the ac- commodation of the reporters. He offered a resolution requesting the secretary to order the putting of a pres. table i1 place. The following con mitteC on permanent rules was ap- pointed: The speaker and Messrs. Rowe and Cowan. MT. St. Charles also called attention to another omission, no chaplain had been elected. Then the caucus progra Ume with reference to Rev. MT. Hedgepeth was carried out.
Arizona republican., 1903-01-20

and morning while I was in the city The particular vice of our representa- tives, Mir. Slayden proceeded to say seemed to be drunkenness, and in this connection he referred to the special envoy sent by a democratic president some years ago, who. he said. got drunk at Fl Paso and painted a broad red streak down to the City of Mexico, 1000 miles to the south.
 He also told of a consular official. who. he said. some years ago pawned the American flag for forty cents with which to buy a drink. The concluding chapter of his arraignment was the charge that an American vice consul had been charged with being implicat- ed in the theft of some coal. MT. Adams of Pennsylvania, member of the foreign affairs committee, said ne waa glad the question of reforming our con- sular service was attracting attention.

OTHER SENATE BUSINESS.
The Cuban Reciprocity Treaty in Ex-
 ecutive Session.

Washington, January 19.-The senate devoted two brief executive sessions to- day to the Cuban reciprocity treaty. At the first session the treaty was read at length, and at the second session Senator Cullom, who as chairman of the senate committee on foreign rela- tions has charge of the treaty made a statement of it's purport and effect. MT. Bacon, also a member of the for eign relations committee, gave notice that he would offer some amendments to the treaty and asked the privilege of making them public. This request was denied after much discussion on the ground that it would be impolitic and unwise.
 Senator Cullom's statement was ex- haustive. He produced a mass of fig ures to show the extent of the com merce between the United States and Cuba and gave the reasons for the be- lief he expressed that the ratification of the treaty would cause a rapid in- crease in trade between the two coun- tries. He said that on the basis of the commerce of 1901 the ratification of the treaty would cause a reduction of about S5.0O0OOO on duty paid on Cuban imports and corresponding reduction of about half that amount On American articles shipped to Cuba.
 He contended that the United States would secure an advantage in continu- ing, as the treaty does, the present free list. as under this arrangement there are about three million dollars worth of American goods admitted into Cuba free of duty, while only about two mill lion dollars worth of Cuban goods come into the United States free.

STORY OF THE PLAGUE
 VIA SALT LAKE
0ne-Third of Those Afflicted With
 the Disease Have Died.

Salt Lake. Utah, January 19.-Ac- cOrding to letters received here from Mazatlan, Mexico, the fatalities of those afflicted with plague are averaging B per cent. Up to January 5, two days before the letter was written, there had already been over 15O deaths.
 The letters state that the difficulty in controlling the disease comes from the fact that the ignorant peons, among whom it is most prevalent, are afraid to have their sick sent to the pesthouse, but hide them away from the authorities in every manner possi- ble. and the consequence is the dis ease spreads to every portion of the town. Fully third of the population of 15,OOO, it is stated, has fled.

THE CREATION OF CLERKS.

Mir. Morrison introduced house joint resolution No. for the appointment of
 clerks. It provided for one assistant
 chief clerk, two assistant enrolling and
 expressing clerks, ore journal clerk, one assistant journal clerk, one clerk
 each to the president of the council and. the speaker of the house, nine com
 mittee clerks for each branch and a messenger for the governor. There was some other business which in the regu-
 lar order preceded this and on the mo-
 tion of MT. Webb of Graham the reso-
 lution went on the table for half an
 hour. In the meantime the arrange
 ments for the joint session were com
 plcted and Messrs. Roemer and Will
 Hams were appointed a committee to
 escort the governor to the house where
 the joint session was to be held.
 MT. Webb called up Mir. Morrison's
 house joint resolution providing for the appointment of clerks. He made the ingenious statement in doing so that
 some of the clerks provided for in the resolution were necessary. He laid an extraordinary stress on the word some" which might have been inten-
 tional or it might not have been. There can be no doubt though that the gen tleman from Graham was voicing what he had in his mind. The resolution was taken and passed with so much prOmptness that it caught two or three gentlemen on their feet evidently in- tending to raise some sort of a ques- tiOn regarding the length of the pay roll.
 Nothing more was immediately done
 under the resolution but after all oth- CT business had been disposed of for the day the house went into caucus, that is the democratic members did. At the conclusion of the caucus members said | that the business of the caucus was to apportion the newly created offices among the counties; that none of them had yet named the beneficiaries but that would be done today in the regu- l lar course of the proceedings. There
 was one though who was especially mentioned, Miss Calla Mills of Phoenix ! who had been early, for some time before the converting of the legislature, slated for a clerkship. In the course | of the squabble over the speakership
 most of the aspirants from this county
 were sidetracked but it was decided in
 the caucus yesterday that something ought to be done for Miss Mills who is
 duly grateful and believes that the
 Twenty second is the. best and most considerate legislature that was ever convened in Arizona in that it especial ! ly created place for her and made her
 the official stenographer and general | clerk.

SURGICAL OPERATION

A Hole in His Heart Sewed Up
 Between Beats

St. Louis, January 19.-A remarkable surgical operation was performed at the city hospital today to save the life of Edward Spilker. aged nineteen, who had attempted suicide by shooting him self in the left breast. An aperture was made at the wound, and between put sations the wound in the heart was closed with three stitches. The bullet had also perforated the apex of the left lung.
 A portion an inch and half square was cut away and a heavy silk liga- ture was tied about the lung, draining the tubes being established, and the chest cavity was closed. The patient rallied and it is believed he will re- cover.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

Thus all the business of the day was
 brought up to the joint session for the receiving of the governors message. By this time the gallery of the house was crowded by the coming in of those who had been sitting in the council gal
 lery. The members of the council came in and President Ives took a place be- side the speaker. At two o'clock the committee from both houses returned escorting Governor Brodie who was en- thusiastically applauded on his en- trance and again upon his introduction by the president of the council. He proceeded at once to the reading of his message which required just an hour. The full text of it is printed elsewhere
