Fasteners Believe ArizOn-
 ianS Will Stand the Test
WILL SUBMIT TO JOINTURE
When They Are Informed That That Is President Roosevelt's Programme
 It Is Also the Eastern Opinion That That Programme Will be Follhwed.

Washington, March 6.-(Special to The Republican)-Thi question was asked of your correspondent today by a prominent member of congress-:
 "Is it generally known in Arizona that the president has declared in favor of making one state of Arizona and New Mexico and can the presi- dents friends in Arizona be depended upon to support his view of the situa- tion?"
 I was obliged to tell him that I was unaware of any change of sentiment in the territory. It is the opinion of close observers here that the presidents position regarding single statehood will have the effect of minimizing opposi- tion to the movement in Arizona.
 It is suggested that in adopting the name Arizona" for the proposed state and proposing liberal legislation in behalf of the new commonwealth the most serious objection to joint statehood has been overcome.
 It is believed here that there is a strong likelihood of the new state be- ing created at this session of congress

 Naturalization Frauds.


 New York, March 6.-E. c. Bene- dict Peeke. a secret service agent, is wanted at Wilmington, Del' on charges growing out of naturalization frauds.

The witnesses Peeke produced were Italians he had himself convicted. Commissioner Shields refused to ad- init the testimony of the convicts and thereupon President Roosevelt pard- oned them Now Peeke is charged with the same crimes of which he accused York.

PENNSYLVANIA HOODS
Better Conditions Prevail in Eastern
 Part of the State.

Harrisburg, Pa, March 6.-The Juni- ata and Susquehanna rivers have been falling all day and Weather Observer Domain said tonight that they will continue to fall for twenty -four hours, The gorSes above and below Harris burg are still intact and there has been no movement in the Susquehanna since the break of yesterday and in the gorge at High Spire.
 Conditions in the flooded district show an improvement over yesterday and unless there is q sudden rise ill the river it is thought that the worst is over. At Aiddletown the water is still higher than the great flood of 1889 and the water supply and electric light supply of the borough is still cut off. The tracks of the Pennsylvania rail- road between Lochiel and Middletown are covered with ice and water.

Cleveland March 6.-Cleveland mar rOwly escaped a penny famine last week. For more than two days the banks were penniless and all the cop pers" which Cleveland could boast of were those the board of public safety kept a watchful eye upon.
 The telegraph wires were made busy, the posts were filled with letters to New York begging that the tension in Cleveland be relieved and that pennies be rushed immediately. In a day or two mysterious and heavy barrels were unloaded from the express cars at the Union station and placed upon care fully guarded trucks. They contained the required amount of pennies.

Neither she nor her father ever thought
of demonstrating forcibly against

"al'ays carried things with a high

She overawed them as the mountain

this influence she had no idea of
