THE EVER WIDENING USE
 TO WHICH COPPER IS PUT

An. unusual use of copper is to be made in the new ferry-house which the Delaware, Lackawanna 6 Western Railroad company is building at the foot of West Twenty.third street, in New York. The frame Of this build- ing is of steel, and it will be sheathed with copper. As the sheets will nee. essarily be rather heavy, consider- able quantity of copper will be needed.
 There are few copper roofs in New York, but we believe that this will be the first building in the city with out. side walls of copper.
 The use of copper sheathiug, or coy ering, for the outside of passenger cars, which was first tried on the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad proved successful Its use for that purpose is being extended, number or cars recently built being covered in Ghis way. -- Engineering & Mining Journal

CONTEST PROBABLE FOR
 HANNA'S SENATORIAL SEAT

A Columbus, Ohio, dispatch of Feb ruary l6 says; ;
 The republican leaders are making a strenuous effort to prevent contest over the election of successor to the late Senator Hanna, and strong inilu- ence will be brought to bear on Gov ernor Herrick Co this end. Events are moving rapidly, however, and despite the desire to keep the senatorial sue. cessor in the background for tue pres- ent, the lines are practically drawn. The active political adherentS of the late Senator Hanna in Toledo, Cleve- land and Columbus are outSpoken for the selecrion of Gen. Charles Dick. The friends of Senator Foraker are lining up for Governor Herrick, whose election to the senate would place Lient Gov. Warren $. Harding. a Foraker man, at the head Of the party in the state.
 ''Ihe Hanna men have not decided what to do Tn the event of Governor Herrick being candidate. They may support him. Some of them talk of continuing to support Mir. Dick in that event, or If he should not be strong enough, to line up for Secretary of War Taft. The reported candidacy of George B. Cox would compIicate mat ters. The Harrna men, however, pro. feSs to believe that Herrick will not be candidate.
 ~ Hanna leader today declared to be true the report that Senator Hanna shortly before his death expressed Il desire that he should be succeeded by General Dick. This request from the dying senator will weigh strongly with large number of members of the legislature.

HUDSON RESERVOIR COMPANY
 H0LD-UP

Washington advices have disclosed the unpleasant fact that the claim oi the old Hudson Reservoir company to the Salt river, or Topto, reservoir site has been revived, and by persistent urging the company has secured from Secretary Hitchcock partial recogni- ton of it's title, in consequence of which the company will be enabled to hold up the government for consid- erable sum of money The original demand of the Hudson company was for SlOO, 900, but it is now stated that 1t is willing to compromise and accept $40, 900 for the full relinquishment of its claim
 This will likely be the basis of set clement, as Judge Joseph Il. Kibbey and B. A. Fowler. of the Salt River Valley Water Users association, who are now in Washington, are said to have assented to the terms, as the best way to avoid complications which threaten to retard, if not defeat, the construction of the dam by the gov ernment.
 This means, of course, as the Enter prise says, that the farmers of the Salt river valley will have to pay $40, in satisfaction of a claim resurrected after ten years of quiet sleep, which is generally believed to have no legal or moral foundation, and which in all probability could establish no standing in court.
 Both the Enterprise and Gazette at tempt to make capital against the Phoe- nix Republican in this connection, al leging that Sims Ely, managing editor Of the Republican, and OaSes Murphy, supposed to have an interest in that paper, are the active agents of the Hudson Reservoir company in the pre- ferment of it's claims. IL is 10 sur. prise to learn of Sims Ely's connection with the hold-up, as he was secretary of the Hudson Reservoir company, and Oakes Murphy's connection with the finding of tue Pima and Yavapal county railroad bonds will always ex- pose him to suspicion in any large money transaction in which he may participate.
 It is to be hoped that the matter will be adjusted as early as possible, in order that construction work at the | reservoir site, which is now almost at | a standstill, may proceed.

KILLED THE OFFSPRING
 SLIT MOTHERS THROAT

Six men, who few Sundays ago gave an 'outlawn horse show and ex. hibition of bronco busting at the Car rlllo Gardens, in Tucson, were on last Thursday arrested by Sheriff Wills of Pinal county, aided by his deputies, near the outskirts of the old pueblo.
 The men are charged with cattle thieving and there is strong evidence against them. The specific charge is that they killed calf near Florence and loaded the beef in their wagon to be used az food.
 The mother Of the calf persisted in following them and it is charged that they then stopped and slit the throat of the mother. The meu are J. E. Prenty, Fred Henderson, P. l.. Does. sy, Bob Warren, Arthur Page and Bob Ford. A young man named Loomis is to be used against them as wit ness.
 The half dozen men have been trans. ferred from Pima to Pinal county, where preliminary examination will be held.
 This is the same party mentioned elsewhere in the BELT as travelling as circus, and who are charged with having committed the felony above mentioned

Walter Wellman says that some of President Roosevelt's friends have ad- vised him earnestly not to accede to the suggestion made by members of the diplomatic corps that every time an ambassador arrives in Washington to take up his post here or goes te the White House to be formally presented to the president an escort of cavalry be ordered ont Co accompany him through the streets of Washington. NIT. Roosevelt is fond of ordering out the cavalry, and bis recent orders pro- viding an escort for Governor Taft on his arrival ia Washington and for ex- Secretary Root on his departure, some what startled Washington. Such hon. ors may be we'll enough now and then for men who have signally distin- guished themselves in the public serv- ice, like Taft and Root, but quite a number of the presidents friends ask him to draw the liue at foreign envoys. They express the opinion that the American people would not take kindly to this military display, and that the popular judgment favors continuance AS far as possible of the democratic simplicity of our forefathers.

Mir. Williams. the democratic leader in the house, recently in answer to n
 question by Mir Boutell, announced himself most positively on the silver question. "Conditions are such that the silver question has been relegated to the rear" he declared amid eontin- ued democratic applause. Giving a reason for the relegation of the silver question to the rear, Mir, Williams called attention to the fact that in 1893 the annual output of gold was Sl09,- 900, 900, while now it is S340, 900, 900.

It will be we'll for Americans to pay attention to these matters lest they involve them selves in violations of the laws of this country and the neutral attitude which the United States has taken. This na- ton has direct interest in the pending conflict, and the administration has acted wisely in declaring its purpose to remain neutral.

BR0DlE'S SUPPORTERS WIN
Bosses Carpenter and Meeden Downs q by Tom Robertson, New Leader

The republican administration ard
 anti-administratiOn forces in Yuma county are having warm fight for
 control, and a special dispatch to the
 Enterprise states that the administra-
 tion forces, led by Peter T. Robertson,
 have taken hard fall out of the old
 party bosses, J. Harry Carpenter and | c. V. Meeden. Robertson has for a | lieutenant, John Doan son of Judge r. M Doan, of the second judicial dis | trict.
 Petter T. Robertson, tour Tommy, :"
 is son of Probate Judge P. C. Rob-
 ertSon, of this county, and, until after
 the campaign of 1900, had always been
 democrat. In that year he was a
 candidate for the democratic nomina-
 tion for district attorney of Yuma county, but was defeated
 In 1902 he was very active member of the republican county convention aud served as secretary of the cam paign committee. A few weeks ago he opened what seemed a hopeless campaign for an instructed Roosevelt delegation from this county, says the dispatch to the Enterprise, but when the central com mittee met Saturday evening, J. Harry Carpenter, who by simple stroke of the gavel has ad- journed legislatures Sine die, and CIV. Meeden, the unterrified, undaupted, uOconq boss, went down in pit fable defeat before his skillful gener. alship
 The real strength of the two factions was unmlstakably shown later when 1t came to filling a vacancy caused by the death of Richard TreyartheD, of Fortuna The Mee1enites nominated II. c Haupt, whoae advance proxy had been secured. But Meeden had counted his chickens before they were matched The Robertson-D Doau people put in nomination Joe Golden, who was elected by a vote of s to ,. Gold ems vote is expected to make the ratio now stand 9 to 6, and should a Robert SOD man be supplied for Clarke who it is cIalmed has left the county it will be 70 to ,, rather too much one sided for the fuu of the thing
 The dispatch says further Another meeting of the committee has been been called for saturday, February 2s, when from all present indications an instructed Roosevelt delegation will be selected to attend the Tucson con- ventiou
 But this will not end the fight Meeden and Carpenter will never give over the reins of the republican party in Yuma county as long as there is a chance for fight. This will but re double their efforts, and few are better at the game than they. There will be q battle royal for the next organiza tion. Roberson scornS the name of boss and is determined there shall be none in Yuma county republican poli- ties. If he succeeds in Uyerthrowing this pair Of bosses it will surely stamp him as the party leader here"
