eight hundred miles away? How do the people of Maricopa county view the charming prospect? Will the governor, who made so convincing a public speech against this measure at mass meeting in Phoenix a little while ago, lead Roosevelt delegation from Arizona to the republican nation al convention at Chicago?
 What an argument for statehood is found in the willingness of presiden- tial appointees like Governor Otero to curry executive personal favor at the monstrous price of their neighbois and their country s ruin.
 T am alarmed at the situation. If Governor Otero is correctly reported which l can't help but doubt-then what must We expect-what can we hope from federal appointees both in New Mexico and Arizona in this the most important question which will ever confront our history. This dis patch which you have shown me. if true manifests the intention of the dominant party in house and senaCe 10 infiict on Arizona regardless of her protests a union which can bring nothing but years of pickering, con tention, injustice, strife and whole sale disaster. ,t
 Our only chance is the democratic help which the senate may haply af- ford us. On the democrats of tke senate alone our hope now hangs. A republican delegation instructed for Roosevelt from Arizona means noth- ing more or less than Arizona repub- lican acquiencence-Arizo en- dorsemant-Of joint statehood. Is it possible that such can occur? We will see.
 Speaking for myself alone, I would vote for no democrat on earth, noe even brother, who would threaten or wink at such an outrage to the peo- pie. What do all our public protests amount to. when the whole east sees an instructed delegation for Roose- welt in the next national convention Such an act will belle every protest which has been forwarded.
 If every appointee of the president

from governor down would refuse to stand by the president in an outrage like this. and if need be send in their resignations rather than be classed as traitors to their expressed sentiments and enemies of the territory. it would have such an effect on the re- publicans in house and senate. as to defeat this unholy, this monstrous scheme.
 This is a clean cut fight between politics and patriotism. Where will Arizona stand? Are. there any men amongst us so lost to patriotism, so craven, as to prostrate themselves be- fore power and with their own hands place it's foot upon their necks and ap- pealingly pray for political aims? We shall see.
 No man in Arizona having any in terest in its prosperity. any feeling of human kindness for his neighbors. will do one act or thing that will give aid, comfort or support to a purpose-no matter by whom supported or ad- vanced-which can have only one ef- feet, calamity to the people of Ari- zona- Politics is good enough in it's way but may God in his mercy save us from any politics of any kind which will sink the peoples rights in the pestiiential pool of its avarice, am bition and greed"

A DISASTROUS WINTER.
New York Has Experienced the Cold

NeW rork mas ESperitnCSO p1e NoIu' est Weather of city's History. New York, March 4.-The winter of 1s03-1904, with its long roll of fires and disasters, closes today with a record in New York of having been the coldest in the annals of the weath- CT bureau The mea ntemperature having been 26 1-3 degrees.
 Blizzards and heavy snowstorms were responsible for snowfall of 28 inches. to remove which cost the street cleaning department more than s60O,000. No such amount of snow has ever been shoveled from the streets of New York in the city's his tory.
 There were nearly 2.O00 fires in the city since December l. With the high cost of meat and provisions and the raising of rents, the suffering and pri- vations of the poor, have kept pace with the record-breaking winter.
 Statistics of the United States bu- reau show that the mean temperature was 5 1-3 degrees lower than any win ter during the last thirty-three years. and one degree lower than the winter of 1S741S75, heretofore the coldest on record. The changeable weather causes much illness, especially pneu- monia and kindred iseases.

WAR IS COSTLY.
Japan Pays sa5o,ooo to eombard Port
 Arthur One Hour.

Some amazing facts have been fur nished by a naval expert in the cost to Japan of the attempt of her fleet to re- duce Port Arthur.
 This authority figured that to bom- bard Port Arthur for sixty minutes with a fleet of four battleships and six armored cruisers, three protected cruisers and six torpedo boats repre- sents a financial outlay of s35O,000 to the Japanese government.
 For three weeks the cream of the Japanese navy has been before Port Arthur. This fleet carries a total of seventeen 12-inch guns, twenty-eight S-inch guns, one hundred and forty D. inch guns and one hundred and eighty 3-inch guns, besides numerous torpedo tubes and small guns. The 12-inch monsters can be fired every five min utes and last only 300 charges, while the sinch guns can be discharged every two minutes and the 6-inch guns in one-half that time The 3-inch guns can be fired every thirty seconds.
 A curious member of the Japanese fleet is the protected cruiser Matsu- shima, which. although of only 4,277 tons displacement. carries a 66-ton Canet gun, that fires a 190-pound shell with velocity of more than 1000 feet per second.
 Just 127 shots, and the big gun has suffered so seriously from the erosion that she is reduced to so many tons of waste metal. Every time a I2- inch shell is discharged 1t lessens the value Of the gun $50
 There is less erosion in the big guns on the Japanese battleships, where they are of the Armstrong pattern, and they will stand from 300 to 400 shots before disabling. A new gun of this pattern costs s16,000.
 Every 12-inch shell discharged costs s510. It takes 200 pounds of smoke less powder at 80 cents a pound, or s160, for a propelling charge. Each

the fleet.

Discussing the telegrams received in New Mexico this week announcing that President Roosevelt favored joint statehood for Arizona and New Mex ico, Hon. NJ. A. Smith gave out the following interview to the Tucson Cit izen:
 Mir Smith said:
 ''I am not surprised at the presi- dents course in this matter for he plainly revealed that purpose in the long fight for statehood in the last session of congress. But 1 am sur prised at Governor Otero, of New Mexico, who time and time again pledged in Washington that he would use every effort personal and official to defeat a joint statehood measure, come from what source it would. This only goes to show-if further proof were needed how completely good men fall under the bad influence of those who appoint them to power.
 Arizona has had in her time many enemies but never one, so willing and so potent as President Roosevelt to work her utter ruin. Yet Arizona Republicans will no doubt send a del egation to Chicago to whoop up the Roosevelt boom for president There is no one thing so fraught with destruction to every interest and as- piration of Arizona as this proposed measure.

shell carries about 500 pounds of ar mor-piercing projectile. and at IS cents a pound adds $75 to the cost. Not having maximite, the Japanese fill the shell, besides the 250-pound shot. with fifty pounds of guncotton and seventy pounds of acid, at a total expense of about s1O0.
 By far the most expensive imple- ments of war are the torpedoes. They cost not less than s2.50O each, and some of the new variety recently recently adopted by the Japanese navy run as high as s5.000.

BLIGHTTO ADDICKSa
National Committee, His Heelers
Hear, Has Doomed Him.

Wilmington, Del, March 9.-Union Re
publican leaders are alarmed by persist
Der of the national Republican commit
tee when the national. convention meets at
It is said. in the first place. that Pres
ldents Roosevelt does not want him on
t th commute pI.l and, IN the second place,
any further Official relations with him.
Word has already been sent to Delaware
to acquiesce IN the scheme for his elimi-
nation.
The proposed plan is this: In view of
the fact that the national committee does
not care to take a hand in the Delaware
fight by recognizing either faction, it will
favor the admission of both the regular
Republican and union Republican de1ega-
tons, each delegate with but half vote.
The committee will recommend the adop-
ton OF this plan to the convention, which
VIII doubtless pass favorably upon 1t.
When 1t comes to selecting the member
OF the national committee the Delaware
delegation viii be evenly divided, the I'M
ion republicans fayoring Addicks and the
regular Republicans favoring some one
else which. will prevent a selection. This
will create a vacancy that subsequently
will be filled by the committee, and as
sq me; Addieks won't be named s1;.o,- -.
the Republican national committee is
alarming TO Addicks Republican leaders,
many votes. They are also worried about
what they term 1.-THE old mans financial
condition. VIII he be able to furnish
them with the customary supply of mon
ey for use at this years election? Demo-
cratic politicians whisper to them that
Addicks will not be able to help them
this year. This sort of talk would not
annoy them If there was nothing behind
it. I'VE have heard such talk before, !"
they reply to suggestion of this char
acter, but didn't we always get the
money, and plenty of it?''
But this time they are actually worried
for fear that Addicks may not be able to
help them out with his accustomed Hber-
ality. The forcing of the Bay State Gas
company into the hands of a receiver is
one of the suggestive incidents that make
them fear that the money supply has at
last grown short.
And without money there will be no
union Republican party worth speaking
of
