American Rights Established.

As was announced some time ago, Japan has relinquished her calm 60 Marcus island. thus disappointing the yellow journals which were predictir g trouble between Japan and the United States over the title to the island. A dispatch from Honolulu now states that a claim for indemnity for the forciblc seizure of the island has been presented Japan through the state department or behalf of the Honolulu owners or the little island in the Pacific.
 Japan's prompt relinquishment of her claim to the island was due, 1t Is under stood. to the impregnable case pre- sented for the American government by former Judge Humphreys. once . resident of Phoenix. The facts upon which the American claim were based are made public for the first time oy the dispatch from Honolulu. It devel= oped that the United States in reality took possession of the island just forty years ago. In 1863 an American War ship cruising in Japanese waters dis covered Marcus island and sent boat crew ashore to take possession ana raise the stars and stripes in behalf of the United States. This fact was dis
 covered by an official of the state de partment when investigation was made of the claim of the Marcus Island Guano company, and in the archives of the state department report of the naval officer in command of the expe- dition was brought to light. It had
 been printed as a senate document in
 the year following the discovery of the island, and Senator Thurston of Hawaii has requested that a reprint be mace of the document, which Is now ou; O. print.
 Upon presentation of the above fac; | the Japanese government consented to | the withdrawal from the island, and or- fered also to remove the Japanese fish
 ermen who had taken up their abode there. It was agreed that a reasonable | indemnity should be paid for the eV- pense Of the trip of the Julia E. Whaler
 
 and also for the loss of time occt,- stoned by the driving away of the sci entific expedition by the marines rom Easagi before a thorough inveStiga- l ton had been made. The expenses of
 the trip were somewhere in the neigh
 borhood of $1O,OOO, to which must be
 added counsel fees and damage tor loss of time The Honolulu people believe 1 that they will get anywhere from s20,- l 600 to s100, GOO from Japan.
 A second expedition is soon to be | fitted out at Honolulu for a visit to | Marcus island. The first expedition was driven off before it's work had been completed. and the next ship will be equipped for the purpose of inves- l tigating and also of bringing Dacx d cargo of guano.

We'll Done, Representatives.

Whatever may have been it's mis- takes heretofore, the house of represen- tatives redeemed itself magnificently yesterday. In terms almost as scath ing as the English language would per init, the representatives repudiated the Ives resolution accepting joint state hood with New Mexico. In all the his tory of parliamentary bodies in Amer ica we have no record of such re5uke of one legislative house by another.
 We congratulate the members of the house. They exhibited a sturdy inde- pendence on this question which was delightful to all Arizona to see. Nor win all the democratic members of the council accept the action of the house as an affront. It is well known that the house resolution was directed more at President Ives than at the council itself. The action of the republican members of the council in pointing out the folly of the Ives resolution was splendidly vindicated, but the house of course had no thought or care for this incidental fact in going on record so emphatically against restoring Arizona to the con- ditions of 1860 when she was county of New Mexico. Tie house refused to accept it as political question, and for that it is entitled to the thanks or the entire territory.
 attempt to join Arizona to New Mexico is renewed in the Fifty-eightn congress. that Arizona proposes to go 1t alone if it takes another twenty-five years and nobody can truthfully claim that any considerable number of people in this territory are willing to accept the compromise.
 The situation in which the action of the house leaves Delegate-elect Wilson and President Ives is pitiable, and The Republican has no disposition to rub it in." The political career of MT. Ives in Arizona is, of course, at an end, and we do not see how it is less unfortunate for Wilson. His newspaper deliberately and unequivocally endorsed the counci! resolution, and all the explaining which Delegate Wilson may hereafter do will not serve to re-establsh him in the confidence of any considerable e:e- ment of his party.

plained that he wished to make some further experiments and changes be- fore placing the battery on the market. and since then there has been mys- terious silence concerning it until las. Saturday.
 Meanwhile. the mechanical world was as incredulous as ever. The manufact- urers of automobiles went ahead in- vesting millions in plants for the con- struction of machines to be driven by gasolene or steam, and this led the puo- lie to believe that Edison had been mis- taken. for it was obvious that all mo- tor vehicles driven by gasolene or steam would speedily travel to the scrap heap should a reliable and light storage bat tery with 100-mile radius be placed on the market. One of the largest man. a few months ago as to make the cruel statement that Edison was in his dot age, had but little of his old mental power, and that everybody who was
 
 his storage battery. On Saturday cable dispatch from London had this to say concerning the latest phase or the invention:
 Herman E. Dick, an American cleo trician, is at the head of the organized attempt to convert scientific Europe to faith in Edison's new electrical storage battery. He is now placing cells for testing purposes in the hands of the greatest electrical experts in Europe, with request for exhaustive eXperi- ments, and unreserved criticism. Mas cart of France, Finzie of Italy and Forester Of Germany are already mak- ing the tests. Dick said:
 Two months will be required to ob- tain a verdict from all the countries. At this moment, every scientist con- cerned doubts the worth of Edisons in- vention. We expect complete reversal of that opinion before the tests have been concluded. Edison considers the battery the crowning achievement of his career.
 "'Our purpose, as soon as Europe has been brought to Edison's view, is to erect plants for the manufacture of tl> battery in every country on this side O. the Atlantic. We anticipate the large est business ever known, in connection with electricity. Five years from this time. vehicle of any kind drawn by a. horse will be a rare sight. Every household will have its own electric lighting plant
 And if the battery has been perfected Mir. Dick does not assert too much when he says the horse will be out of above referred to Mir. Edison made tine same bold claim. If the battery is what is claimed for it, a revolutionary step forward has been taken in the mechan- ical progress of the world.

Edison's Greatest Achievement

If. as claimed, Thomas A. Edison has perfected his electrical storage battery. it is his greatest achievement, wonder full as are the incandescent light, the phonograph, and the multitude of other inventions with which his name will be associated for all time. It is now about a year since MT. Edison announced tha: he had practically accomplished tine great ambition of his life-the perfect ing of the storage battery. The sci- entific world, as usual, was skepticai. For generation, it was argued, ef- forts had been made to construct a storage battery which would have large utility-a battery which would store power and release it as required, and which would not quickly degenerate and become useless, and it was pointed out that there was nothing more to be learned on the subject. It had been demonstrated, they said, that the ponderous and. costly, inefficient and short-lived storage battery Of today represented the most that could be eX- pected in that line.
 Edison's reply was that he had the battery, nevertheless; that frequently he had attachel it to an automobile. and had driven the machine over the rough roads of New Jersey, through the mud and up and down hill, each time a distance of some eighty miles, and the machine came back with no diminution of power. He was co.,- vinced, he said, that he had invented battery which, at less than half the weight of the batteries then in use, would give an automobile a radius of eighty to one hundred miles before it became necessary to recharge, and that throughout the use of a single charge the battery would, until run down, give forth as much power as when it started -or, at worst, it's power would not di minish more than 10 per cent from tine time it was charged until it becams necessary to Toad" it again.

 and Women.

Another marked and positive victory for Paines Celery Compound. Another marvellous example of life saving:
 Mrs. Kate Grinnett, popular and well-known lady residing in Germania, Sabine Co.,, Ark. who expected to die, is made well and strong by natures health restorer after the best efforts Of faithful physician had failed. This victory, and the scores of wonderful cures wrought from week to week by Paine's Celery Compound, create con- f1derce in the great spring medicine that is enduring and far reaching. A. this season Paine's Celery Compound rescues and permanently cures young and old who are weakened and broken down by disease; it never fails; it's vir- tues are all-powerful even at the eleventh hour. Mrs. Grinnett, thankful for renewed health and strength, writes thus
 Last September I was very il and thought I was going to die. I was cold and lifeless and my heart would fluttar and shake like a leaf. I had cold sweats, so prOfuse that my garments would be wet. 1 had pains in my shoulders and arms, at times so severa that I was obliged to u5e morphine. The doctor said my liver was In bad condition. He treated me for quite a long time, but I only got temporary relief I heard of Paine's Celery Com pound and bought a bottle of it, used it, but the only change I experienced was an improved appetite. I had Ge- cided not to use the medicine any iong- CT. but my husband persuaded me 70 try another bottle, which soon gave me happy results, and I continued with Paine's Celery Compound until l had taken six bottles. Now I am physica.- ly a new woman; I feel well. work my garden, do all my own housework and am gaining in strength and vigor every day. I recommend Paine's Celery Con- pound to my friends and neighbors. This is the first time l have ever in dorsed medicine"
