IRISH LAND BILL
Duke of Devonshire Speaks for it in House or Lords.
He Believes the Operation of the Bill Will Be Paid for in the Reduction of Expenses.

London. Aug. 3.-The Duke of Devon shire moved the second reading of the Irish Land bill in the house of lords today. The duke declared that the government was confident that the ex- penditure of the s60O0O, 900 provided in the bill would be amply compensate1 for by economies in the judicial ma cninery and the reduction of the po- lice expenses, which the adoption of the measure would render possible.
 In conclusion, the speaker declared that although it would be rash to pre- dict that it would prove a final settle- ment of the Irish question. any serious alteration of the bin as adopted by the house of commons would reiea SC the contra cting parties from the obli- Eation mutually undertaken. Never before, he said had the representatives; of the val .cus interests concerned ask ed parliament to sanction a settlement. the main principles of which they had themselves suggested.

THE CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHT
Both Jeffries and Corbett Are Nearly
 Ready for It.

San Francisco, Calif., Aug. 3.-Ad- vices from Harbin Springs say that Champion Jeffries did little work yes terday but this morning went into the gymnasium and exercised until he was aglow with precipitation. He then put on the gloves and engaged in lively bouts with his tenders. He soon had Fitzsimmons, Kennedy and his brother Jack sparring for wind, while he him. self was fresh and strong.
 As the date of the fight for the championship approaches those who see Jeffries at work and mark his steady improvement, loudly declare that he will be in rare form on the night oi August 14th.

THINKS WELL OF WHIPPLE
General Baldwin Will Shortly Revisit
 Prescott.

MT. F. NJ Murphy has received a let manding the department of the Colo radO, stating that he will revisit Pres colt shortly. He will arrive there so as to be present during the last two days of the rifle and cavalry competi- ton at Whipple Barracks, which will begin on August 10. It is only two weeks since General Baldwin visited the post, and at that time he said he was greatly pleased with it.
 The people of Prescott are to be con- graduated on the interest which the commander of the department is talk ing at Whiprle. The rifle and cavalry competition will be an important af fair. It is estimated that not less than 250 officers and men from three de- partments will be in attendance. It was largely through the influence of General Baldwin that this meeting was secured for Whipple.
 This competition will be well worth going to see. and the people of Phoenix could have a TO more enjoyable trip than to go to see it. It will last five days. One company of cavalry arrived at the post on Sunday night.
 It is matter of regret that the new club house at Prescott has not yet been completed for the entertainment of General Baldwin on the occasion of his next visit

LABOR TROUBLE CLOUD
Only Thing That Obscures Eastern
 Investors View of Arizona.

Secretary Stoddard mention of whose return, after an absence of considerably more than a month was made by The Republican yesterday morning, was at nIs desk yesterday. He spent the most of the time while he was in the east with his wife and son, Celora, at Man hattan Beach. He had two severe at tacks of sickness recently and a week ago he prepared for an opera tion for appendicitis but the necessity for it was happily removed
 Business conditions in the east, MT Stoddard said, are very good. While the furry on Wall street did not greatly affect general conditions throughout the country it created a great deal of consternation in New York. There was at no time d danger of a panic for it was generally understood that an effort was being made to reach bottom and when that had been accomplished it was evident that things would right themselves. The prices of stocks had gone too high and they must necessari- ly come down.
 The only disturbing element. so far as the country at large is concerned is the unrest of labor. Until a settle ment of some sort has been reached a great many enterprises will be at a standstill or will be carried on only in half hearted way.
 Mir. Stoddard said that he had d great many inquiries about this territory. They related for the most part to mines and they were always accompanied by inquiries regarding the labor situation here. The Morenci strike was very alarming to intending investors in Arizona properties and they have not been treasured by the troubles now go- ing on in Yavapai county. It can hardly be expected, MT. Stoddard be- lieves, that there will be any heavy investments in this territory until the present labor troubles have been ad- justed. Eastern interest, however, in Arizona and it's mineral wealth is keen er than it ever was before.

He said that he was friendly to J. B. Marcum and with the exception of d few words with; him some four years ago they had always been friendly. He said he met Mrs. Mary Johnson after the killing and she asked him if he had killed her brother. He told her he had not, but that they would accuse him of it.
 Jett's testimony corroborated many other witnesses woh have testified for the prosecution as to his actions on that fateful day
 The feature of today was the cross examination of Thomas White, who was next placed on the stand by the defense, by Tom D. Marcum. Marcum is one of the attorneys for the prose cution and is brother of the dead man and resides at Muscogee, I. T. His testimony corroborated that Of several other witnesses for the prosecution.
