the long heave of the sea to remind US

In the Ofting, far out to sea, where

IT WAS BLUFF FOR MAXWELL
When a Citizen of Douglas Expressed Willingness to Meet the Irri- gator Nothing More was
 Heard of Joint Debate.

DOCGLAs, Oct. 26-AlI the talk about joint debate between Mark Smith and Maxwell was a Republican bluff pure and simple and an eXhib- rtlon of lm2ertirence on the part Of Maxwell. The people of Arizona have no interest in this Maxwell; he is not a candidate and why should Mark Smith pay any more attention to him than any other citizen of Massachu- sctts, New York. New Jersey or any other state in the union. What do the people of Arizona care about Max wells ability to make political stump speeches? He is not a candidate, either here or elsewhere.
 But to show that Maxwell knew that he would not be noticed by Smith and did not want to engage in joint debate was shown when he would not ac- cept the invitation extended last night fin the International-Americ for a joint discussion between the irriga- tor and Col. J. NJ. French, an able and respected citizen of Arizona and or this city right where joint debate was pretended to be wanted by Max well.
 Certainly NIT. French had the right to offer to accommodate the would-be joint debator. Col. French is a citi- zen of Arizona and being such our people feel some interest iE him. whii- Maxwell lives in Massachusetts and is simply here to make political speeches for another former citizen of Yankee dom. who has only been in Arizona four years.
 Had Col. French been permitted to divide time with tbs imported spell binder there would have been some thing interesting going on at the op- era house last night. The colonel would have torn the mask from this railroad lobbyist and shown just what interest he had in Arizona and in this campaign. It is well for Maxwell that this old West Virginian did not get a crack at him.

STOCK MARKET SITUATION.

The market opened this morning with a downward tendency but dur ing the day it revived somewhat and towards the closed it showed weak ness.
 Calumet & Pittsburg held around 39 and 40 bid with very little coming out. Holders of this stock have not started to give it away.
 Lake Superior & Pittsburg is a9- parently the weakeNt stock on the market with no tracing at all. Some few days ago people were running hard and fast after this stock and were only glad to get it at 57 and o8.
 Pittsburg 6 Duluth held firm at 86 to 90 per share. Trading in this stock win be very light, but after ths first we will see it on the move. They were asking this afternoon 22 10 23 for Pittsburg 6 Duluth mining stock
 Junction is also neglected. We think that :his stock will some day be the best on the board. but it VIII ie some little time.
 The Old Dominion is also on the advance, closing this afternoon at g bid and 26 asked. Greene Con. E2- Div. is now selling at 20.50 This stock has now been listed on the Bos- ton Exchange

Wher x. 0. Murphy. twice Cover nor of Arizona and once the delegate in Congress from this Territory shows mp about election time, it is assumed that he ;s cut after Democratic scalps' so when he arrived in Bisbee yeste-- day on the afternoon train from Ben son and it became known that the long time Republican wheel horse was here it created a stir in political circles. Cassidy's dropping spirits were temporarily revived and the Miner ofhce took on Q new hope.
 The Governor was accompanied by Mrs Murphy. who IS for the first time seeing anI becoming acquainted with Arizona.
 On arrival Governor and Mrs. Mur- phy weEt to the Copper Queen hotel and in the evening a representative of the Reyicw had a talk with the ex- Governor more commonly known as Oakes Murphy.
 Governor Murphy declared that ne was dong" no politics in Arizona this year and looked perfectly honest and sincere when he said it.
 "f have Oecn trying to get some idea Of political conditions in Arizona during m lrip," siad the Governor, "but I have done no spellbinding and will TO; make a speech in the cam paign-
 T find that many Republicans arc hopeful of ;he election Of Mir. Fowlei. Dut On the other hand I can detect no falling off in confidence of the friends of Mark Smith.
 "Cochise and Graham are of course Mark Smith counties and have always been.
 T am always a Republican and ai- ways hope for the success of my parry but as l stated before I am taking no active part in this campaign Every body knows my personal friendship for Mark Smith and l have a very iigh regard for Mir Fowler.
 T will remain in Bisbee tomorrow and then go to Douglas for probably two days. From there We will go to Clifton. Morenci and Globe. Tn short time I will return to the East.
 q expect to retain my residence in Arizona, but will be much III Wash ington, especially during the sessions of Congress"
 Governor Murphy is the same hail and hearty Oekes Murphy and, seems 10 DC in the best of health. He is growing more and more gray. but he is yet vigorous. It is a little out of ,he political regular order to se1 q campaign at it's zenith in Arizona without Oakes Murphy on the stump for he Republican candidate. but sometimes one grows tired of fignt- Ing in hopeless battles.
 Notwithstanding the denial of the
 Governor the suspicion yet remains that he Is making a still hunt cani- paign for votes for Fowler.

WANT MUBDERERs PUNISHED
If Murderers of Way and I4attimer are Not Punished. Lives of Other Americans in Sinaloa Will Be
 in Danger.
Special to Review.)

DOUGLAS. Oct. 2e-The Way-Lat- inner murder affair in Senaloa is by no means ended. From parties com ing into the states it is learned that the foreign population of Fuere Sin has prepared a circular letter which viii be sent tc the stated department and to every congressman in the Un- ited States. The letter gives a de- tailed account of the brutal murder of American citizens which was or dered by a drunken Mexican official. The letter goes on to say that the criminals were given very light sen tences and that they may entirely es- cape punishment for their atrocious crime The signers Of this letter ask that the United States government make a request to Mexico that the murderers be punished according to the enormity of their deed. The American consuls in Mexico. who are paid to protect American interests are heartily condemned for their ab- solute neglect of their duties in con- .nection with this affair.
 The signers of the letter assert that if these criminals are allowed to go unpunished. the lives of all foreeign- CTS in that part of Mexico will be at the mercy of ignorant and prejudic- ed officials and their willing tools.

 Douglas. Oct. 26-Sometime with in the last few nights there has been an attempt made to burglarize the Episcopal church. The would be church robbers tried to gain an en- trance to the building by cutting out some of the small diamond shaped pieces of glass in the rear windows. Several pieces of glass were taken out but not enough to let a person through. Just why the burglars did not get in is hard to tell unless they were frightened away. There was nothing in the way of money or val uables in the church that could have been carried away had the thieves en- tered.

south Atlantic League standing.

Jacksonville, Fla. May 8.-While the
score was to against the Pathfind-
ers to-day, there was an excellent ex-
hibition of ball playing and an ex-
citing contest at several stages of the
game. Three hundred people from Sa-
vannah We're present, and the way
they rooted for the Pathfinders. was a
lesson to Jacksonville. They wore the
Savannah coIors and whooped things
UP lively, but the Pathfinders failed
to make good.
For the first four innings there was
not an error charged to either side,
but after that .they came fast enough.
Suggs was in, the box for the Jays
and did good work. Savannah only
scored five hits, while the Jays made
eleven hits.
In the fifth inning there was some
thing doing, and the tribe of Kelly
scored three runs. Savannah put one
man across the plate in the sixth, and
two III the seventh. This tied the score
and the excbtement was intense.
In the Jacksonville half there was
some pretty work, but the Jays had
their hitting and running clothes on,
and piled up three more runs. Again
in the eighth Jacksonville scored two
runs and Savannah failed to do any
thing. This ended it.
