THE DEAL IS THROUGH.

Yesterday the papers were made out whereby B. A. Packard becomes the owner of the east half of section twelve and MT. Sturgeon becomes the posses sor of an s1S,000 check. There is some question as to who came out ahead on the deal for the ranch is worth ev- cry cent of the purchase price.
 While MT. Sturgeon was successful in the sale of his ranch he was very unfortunate the night before in the loss of his valuable mare, Maud s. Although not dead it is altogether probable that she will have to be killed. She was in a pasture near the house and in some manner got one front foot over the wire and before she was discovered she had injured it so badly that to all practical purposes she is ruined. MT. Sturgeon had re- gently refused $500 for the mare and aside from her financial value she was an excellent driver having a record ot 40

The peo- pie of the valley know his ability and the care that he bestows upon and the exactness that he demands from those under his instruction. Miss Kathryn Daily is directing the dramatic part. Her ability is also well known to all those who patronize the entertain ments given by the normal students. Miss Clara Priest sings the part of the plaintiff. Miss Priest has more than a local reputation, but no audience greets her more enthusiastically than the people of her own town, Tempe. Mrs. Fred NJ. Irish acts as the ac- companist. That she has often de- lightfully entertained both Tempe and Phoenix audiences needs but to be mentioned. The students of the nor nal school have a reputation of of- fering nothing but first-class enter tainments. In the coming event they will more than sustain their reputa- tiOn.

DOUGLAS DOINGS
The Arrest of Former Assistant Post.
 master Pickart.

Douglas, Ariz., March 1 (Spcial Cor respondence of The Republican.)- Those interested in the new chamber of commerce for Douglas are very much elated over the prospects for it. The most encouraging news in regard to il is that received last evening when it was announced that the Copper Queen company would donate the building for the use of the chamber of commerce and the mining exchange This mag nificent offer will be accepted, and it is understood that handsome quarters will before long be ready for the purpose.
 The mining exchange, though of course an entirely different proposition, will probably occupy rooms in the same building. At meeting of the mining exchange held last night the announce ment of the offer made by the Copper Queen company was made by c. A. Overlook. The object and use of the exchange were discussed, and commit tees on constitution and bylaws and on quarters and furniture were appointed. On the former committee were the fol- lowing C. O. Ellis, H. Lincoln, and F. B. Dorr. The chairman of the meet ing was F. k. Pirtle and the secretary, H. F. Stone.
 Former Assistant Postmaster Pickart, of the Douglas postoffice. was arrested yesterday by U. s. Deputy Marshal Hill. on a charge of embezzlement of postoffice funds. His hearing will be held on Tuesday afternoon next. in this city, before U. $. Commissioner Pirtle. Pickart states that he will enter plea of not guilty and that he is confident he will be able to prove his innocence. The arrest was made at the instiga- tion of Postoffice Inspector Smythe, who, it is said, discovered a shortage of about $500.
 The Shropshire Mcdonald wedding last week was the most brilliant in the history of the city. The wedding was attended by about 300 of the leading people of Douglas and was a brilliant ceremony. MT. Shropshire being a member of the Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias and of the Odd Fellows, both orders attended in a body and the cere- mony was under the auspices of the Uniform Rank, who attended in full uniform. The Odd Fellows also wore the regalia of the order. The cere- mony was performed by the Rev. Jo- seph Mcconnell, of the Episcopal church, it being the ring ceremony. Captain William Younger was the groOmsman and Dr. J. J. P. Armstrong was best man. Miss Ethel Moore and Miss Marie O'Brien were the brides maids. The ladies of the Fortnightly club, of which the bride was mem Der, all clad in white, acted as ushers. After the ceremony an elegant colla- tiOn was served at the Hotel Queen.
 The groom, A. $. J. Shropshire, per haps better known as Harry Shepherd, is we'll known all over the territory, being cattle inspector for the Douglas district. The bride, Miss Ruby Me

NAVAL TONNAGE.

It seems to be very hard for many people to grasp the fact that naval construction is not a business that stands still. They proceed on the theory that naval tonnage is all alike and that if there is only enough of it, nothing more can reasonably be re- quired. Statistics, for example, show that as regards gross tonnage the navy I of the United States is far greater than that, for instance, of Japan, and on the surface it would look as if the lat ter. in a struggle with this country.
 would be completely outclassed on the water.
 Included in our tonnage, however, | are a large number of vessels that are practically or actually obsolete. A dozen years or so ago these vessels
 were new and up-to-date in every par | ticular, but naval progress has been so rapid since that time that they are not now worth much more for effective , fighting than the wooden craft that
 figured in the civil war. In the list of | American war vessels there are at least l five battleships that are from ten to 1 fifteen years old and a number of pro- tected cruisers that are from twelve to
 about twenty years old. The Alabama l
 Kearsage, magnificent modern War
 ships as they now are, will probably
 pass into the archaic class in the
 course of the next twelve or fifteen years. while many other vessels that are now reported to be fit for service" | will have been sold for old junk or assigned to work involving no peril New craft must take their place, even
 if only the present strength of the
 navy is to be maintained.
 | It is true that the pending naval ap- propriation bill, against which con
 siderable hostility is displayed, is un-
 usually large, providing as it does for
 an outlay of about s96,000 ,000; but it is to be remembered that about one
 third of this sum is for construction,
 machinery and armor and armament
 of ships already authorized or building
 It includes, furthermore. an appro-
 priation for the establishment of naval stations. an absolutely indispensable

THE MID-WINTER RALLY.
Representatives Present From Phoenix

Tuesday evening at the Baptist church occurred the mid-winter rally of the Territorial Young Peoples union of the Baptist church. There was large attendance and aside from the Tempe society there were present representatives from the Prescott, Mesa and Phoenix societies.

 Miss Anna Stewart of Tempe follow ed with an essay on the use of op- portunities.
 Rev. R. D. Latter of Phoenix ther made an address on Character and Influences.

RESULTS OF THREE WEEKS OF
 WAR

A state of war has existed in the orient now for over twenty days. Hos tilities were begun on the initiative of Japan by a naval attack on Port Ar thur, February s. three days after diplomatic relations were severed with Russia. Since that date Japan has been the aggressor on both sea and land, and has been victorious in every encounter. Three of the eight battle ships in Russia's two Eastern squad rons have been disabled, and seven of her eight best cruisers.
 The net result of these disasters has been to give Japan the control of the sea. This advantage is being used in such a way as clearly shows that Ja- pan has the ability 10 hold all she has acquired by her bravery. She keeps the two Eastern squadrons of Russia separated. She has practically bottled up the Port Arthur fleet. She is in- tercepting all supplies and is landing troops at various points in Korea and Manchuria. Russia has been compell- ed to make a retrograde movement, and establish her base of supplies at Harbin, fully 400 miles inland. These events have upset previous calcula- tions as to the outcome of the strug- gle. The theater of war has been transferred, contrary to all expecta- tions, from the valley of the Yalu river in Korea to Manchuria on or above the Liao-tung peninsula.
 At present the future looks dark for Russia. She has lost much of her prestige, and her operations are suffi- ciently handicapped by the weather and by the great distance over which troops and supplies have to be car ried before they can reach the scene of the war. Before spring appears
