Admiral Evans Considers the Sentence
Very Light.

The record in the case of Paymaster
John w. Morse of the battle ship Wiscon-
sin has been received at the Navy Depart
ment. This officer was tried by court-mar-

ness and inefiiciency in the performance OF
his duties, and was sentenced to lose ten
numbers in his grade. Rear Admiral Evans.
commanding the Asiatic feet at that time,
approved the sentence, but in so doing took
occasion to say that he considered 1t very
light for the offenses of which Paymaster
Morse was found guilty and the lax meth
DDS in which he carried on the duties OF his
office, as clearly shown by the evidence be-
fore the court" The case requires no ac-
ton by the department.

NEW WAITING ROOM
PLACE PROVIDED FOR CALLERS
ON MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE.
Established in the East Lobby-End Of
Chapter Of Annoy
ances.

The domestic arrangements Of the Capitol
have been given a new turn by order OF
Speaker Cannon, and another chapter has
been added to the vicfssitudes through
which the reception room of the House OF
Representatives has passed. Again, as in
the days of the Forty-sixth, Forty-seventh,
Forty eighth. Forty-ninth and F1ftieth Con-
crosses, the House will have a reception room
which will be worthy the designation If the
experiment which is now on proves satis-
factory.
This has heen establishes In the east
lobby of the House. 1t WAS here in the
palmy days of the woman lobbyist that
the first reception room was established,
snd from here ladies who wished to see
members Of the House-sent their cards.
This privilege was finally abused; obnox-
ious characters made it a lounging place
until it became SO offensive that Speaker
Reed had the furniture. removed to statuary
hall. and here the marble room of the
House was again established
In statuary Hall.
This was never popular either with call
ers or with members themselves. In the
first place, it was too public and 1t was too
far from the House. and the long corridor
which had to be traversed by members in
response to cards from visitors afforded
pcrtunity to pounce down. upon them. Here.
as in the east lobby, the privilege was
abused, and early in Speaker Hendersons s
administration carpets, chairs and sofas
were whisked away as II By magic and the
House was without a reception room.
The result has been unsatisfactory both
to callers and members Ladies who send
their cards in to members are compelled to

which is most undignifed But the greatest
evil Is the annoyance given to members of

complaints, and declare that deliberations
are often interrupted because of this an

CAUSE FOR CONG GRATULATlON.

In violent contrast to the last fascc in thi. country, by courtesy called a term of the district court, is the record of the present session of the district court.
 The Review is pleased to note that the officers of the court have been prompt in the discharge of their duties and the jurors have shown a healthy disposition to enforce the laws of the territory.
 The results already obtained will go a long ways toward retarding the too prevalent idea that the man with ,he gun is king in Cochise county.
 Let no guilty man escape should be the watch word of the law abiding citi- zens of Cochise county. and as soon as this becomes known the evil doer will give this community a wide berth. and the enormous expense of the courts will be curtailed.

ihe people of Arizona need have no fear.
 Because. forsooth. Senator So and So, from Indiana. told Member So and So, of the Arizona delegation, in the buffet of the Auditorium hotel in Chi cago, in a hushed whisper, in the dead of night, that everything was fixed"
 This is the dope the Republicans are asking the people of Arizona to swallow.
 The joint statehood bill which pass ed the House was a Republican caucus measure. It was agreed upon by members of the House and Senate who controlled Republican legislation, and just so sure as Theodore First IS returned to the White House. Arizona will be sacrificed on the altar of his boundless ambition.
 Deeds speak louder than words. On every occasion when Arizona's in- terests have been at stake we find the Democratic members battling for our rights while against us have been arrayed a united Republican oppo- s.tion.
 The Democratic platform has been honest with the people of Arizona al. though this territory cannot effect the presidential result.
 The Republican party has cowardly evaded the issue Lest We forget this is the year to remember our friends.

STRAIGHT DEMOCRATIC DECLARATIONS vS.
 CROSS INSINCERITX.

CROSS INsINcERITX.
 The two national political conven- lions have been held and the respec- tive parties have gone before the peo- pie of the country with their declara- tions of principles, asking for their sufrages.
 While it is true that the people of this territory have no voice in the election Of the chief magistrate of this republic. still, at the present time, We find the people of Arizona vitally interested in the outcome of the cleo tion.
 The paramount issue in the present campaign, from the view poin, of an ArizonaH, is the statehood question.
 On this issue We find that the Dem ocratic party, in national convention assembled. has met the issue fairly in the open. There has been no beat ing about the bush. Recognizing the constitutional rights of this territory, and the fitness of our people to assume the responsibilities of statehood, the Democratic platform declares and promises. that if successful at the polls in November. to admit Arizona as a single state.
 In contrast to this honest and straightforward declaration is the Re publican attitude on the same ques- tion.
 When the Republican delegates from Arizona reached Chicago they were already bound hand and foot to the Roosevelt chariot and the con- vention was strictly Roosevelt af- fair. After carefully reading the Re publican platform the Review is un- able to find a single mention of the statehood question. It will be re- membered that the Republican plat form in 1900 had declared for state hood for Arizona and that when Mark Smith. the Democratic delegate to Congress, had succeeded in getting the bill through the House, the Re publican Senators in the Senate de hberately spat upon it. Later a Re publican bill was passed by the House. against the united opposition of the Democratic members. linking Arizona and New Mexico together as one state, and providing for their ad mission as one state. and this bill is now pending on the calendar of the Senate
 IT the absence of any declaration of the Republican party on the statehood question, the people of Ari- zona have right to judge that party upon its record, which for the past four years has been engaged on the floor of Congress in an attempt to defeat the single statehood bill for Arizona and to saddle upon this ter ritory joint statehood measure which is repuisive to Democrats and Republi- cans alike.
 Republican delegates returning from the Chicago convention from this terri tory. have fixed up pretty fairy tale which no doubt will be worked to a frazzle on the stump this fall in an ef- fort to stem the tide of righteous in dignat;on that is rushing on to engulf the Republican party in Arizona It goes something like this:
 While it is true that the Republican party would not declare for single statehood at the late convention, and while it is true that Republican Sen ators defeated the single statehood bill when it made it's appearance in the Senate, while it is true that by Republican votes the joint statehood bill was passed through the House

RIVALS THE WAR.
The "Sane and Safe" Fourth OF July
Casualty List Large.

Chicago, July 5.--The "sane and
safe" Fourth of July in the United
States rivals the Oriental war in its list
of casualties. Partial reports show
that 81 persons were killed as a direct
result of celebrating the nations birth.
OF the appalling list of injured, fully
200 or more will succumb, sooner or
later, to their injuries, as tetanus
almost invariably follows wound from
fireworks or July explosives. The
foregoing takes no account of the race
riots or murders of the day, but gives
an incomplete idea of what it costs the
American people to celebrate the glori-
GUS Fourth.
Incomplete returns show loss by
fire. following celebration accidents, Of
more than $l50,000.
The toy pistol has been overshadowed
this year by the dynamite cane,
contrivance which deals death and de-
struction in nearly every instance,
Detailed reports Of the casualty lists

which were almost wholly destroyed,
together with 20 Whitehead torpedoes
Five OF the torpedoes had war heads
attached and they exploded, which
added to the fire and the excitement.
A considerable quantity of coal stored
in the works was also burned. An

Explosion of Fireworks Causes Three

Philadelphia, June 30.-Three per-
sons were killed and half dozen were
injured as result of the explosion Of
small bundle of fireworks in the store
room of the Diamond fireworks COM
pany, at 9s6 Arch street.
The fireworks concern occupied the
first floor of the building. The second
floor was vacant, and the third floor
was occupied by the French Hat & Bon
net Frame company.
Jancovitch, the proprietor of the hat
and bonnet concern and two Of bis EN-
ployes were the ones killed. These
three were the only persons above the
first floor. About dozen persons
were employed by the fireworks COM
pany. The cause of the fireworks ex-
plosion is not known. Thomas Con-
way, one of the firm of the fireworks
company, was wrapping a small bun
die of fireworks for customer when II
exploded. Almost instantly the entire
room, full Of fireworks, became ignited
from flying rockets and firecrackers.
All the employees on the nrst moor es-
capped without serious injury. The
front of the first floor was blown out by
the explosion of powder, and soon the

WRECK TAKES FIRE.


Litchfeld, ILL.,, July ga score Of
persons killed and more than 100 in
juied is the result Of wreck on the
Wabash railroad that occurred at this
place late yesterday evening. The Chi
cago limited due at st. Louis at 7
o'clock and running at speed OF DO
miles an hour to make up lost time,
was wrecked by an open switch. The
engine on the passenger struck freight
train that was standing on the siding,
and the engine and three coaches fol
lowing were piled in heap. The
wreckage took fire and was completely
consumed.
While it was at first thought thai
the accident was due to negligence, il
has since developed, according to infor
nation that has leaked out from what
is considered an authoritative source,
that the real cause for the disaster was
a deliberate attempt on the part o
trainwreckers to derail the train, bu
for what reason is not known.
While the railroad officials have Civ
en- out no report for publication, they
have said that the occurrence was mo-
due to any oversight ON the part of en-
ployes, but is the result of scheme OIL
the part Of unknown persons.

,os STAMP WOULD COST MUCH.
One of the Reasons Postal Department
Opposes Special Issue.

Washington, July 6.-The postofhce
department gives several reasons for not
favoring special issue OF postage
stamps for the Lewis and Clark expo
sition, Notwithstanding series were is-
sued by tie department in commemora-
ton of the Chicago, the st. Louis, the
Buffalo and the Omaha fairs. Primar-
lily Third Assistant Postmaster General
Madden, in charge of stamp matters,
disapproves of the policy of issuing
stamps in honor Of expositions and
thinks the practice should stop.
Again it is found that the cost Of gett-
ing out special issues is considerable
item which the department does not
feel justified in mourning. and, thirdly,
the department holds the Lewis and
Clark exposition to be local in character
not national affair as the st. Louis
exposition. For these reasons the re-
quest for a special issue of stamps has
been denied.
Aside from assigning the reasons here
stated, the postal officials are not in.
clined to discuss the matter, but hope
Portland people will not press further
in this matter.
