RUSSIA IN BAD STATE.

A London dispatch quotes Sir John Colomb. admiral of the British navy as follows:
 "Russia's navy may now be said to be in a state of complete paralysis The vessels the Car commands, scat tered as they are between Port Ar thur. the Baltic and Vladivostock, can not possibly effect junction in time to interfere with the Japanese naval and military movemerts.
 Tt is safe to assume that under the circumstances there win be no concen tration of Russian naval power suffi. cient to dispute Japan's control of the sea
 Tt is obvious that no great military expedition over the sea can De sue cessfully executed by Pussia as long as her enemy holds control of the wa ter. On the other hand the celerity andthe splendid judgement of the Jap anese have crippled Dussia to such an extent that she will find it impossible to prevent the landing of a powerful

hostile army. I believe the condi uons of the land fighting to come will approximate very closely those that prevailed in South Africa It is my
 firm conviction that Russia will sus. tain defeat on land quite as serious as that we have been led to believe she has suffered on the sea
 "Japan's army is undoubtedly better organized than Russia's anG under conditions that will prevail in the ap- preaching campaign mobility is likely to be the determining factor War is always so uncertain that one hesi- tates to predict, but at the present mo- ment it seems that everything favors the eventual triumph of the Jap anese."

SHEEP INVADING CHA COUNTY
 RANGES.
Bad Situation Is Rendered More Criti'
 cal by the ProIonqed Drouth.

A very serious condition exists in the northern part of Gila county, where the cattle ranges have been in- vaded by some two hundred thous- and head of sheep, which have not only eaten all the grass but have also consumed the browse and everything edible The situation, says the ln- cred more critical by the prolonged drouth. Some cattle have died and heavy losses can scarcely be avoi6ed. There appears to be no relief in sight for the cattle owners, who are among the best citizens. many of whom have been In possession of the ranges for years, have made Improvements and annually paid their taxes. The sheep men, on the other hand, have no in terests in the county and contribute nothing towards its support, but are fast destroying taxable values and do- ing irreparable damage. The prob lem of how to remedy this evil is diff cult of solution. The leasing of the
 
 objected to by owners of small herds, who fear that wealthy individuals and companies might gain monopoly. It has been suggested a plan be de yised for direct control of the range by government officials. and there is TO question but that the government would be justified in exercising its authority 10 prevent the overstocking of the range, which has already worked much injury in sections of the west. The question is one of which the Territorial Cattle Association should take up and present to the de pertinent at Washington, urging prompc and serious consideration, with Q view of finding a practical solution

Mur- phy said that the road would be com pleted within three months and prob ably within two months.
 He believes that the properties of the Imperial will be devecoped into one of the great mines of the territo ". One reason that the develop nent has not already taken place is that the region has not been sufficient fy accessible. but the chief reason is that there has not been until now a strong organization in possession oi those rich properties.
 There are now about seventy-five men employed there and the force will be increased as fast as room can be made for larger number of men The completion of the Arizona South ern will greatly facilitate the develop ment.
 Speaking of the Arizona, California & Santa Fe. that is. the road which is going to- be built west from Wick enburg. Mir Murphy said that he would leave for the east shortly but that beSore he left the territory work would be begun on that line.
 MT. Murphy received a message from Governor Murphy early yester day saying in substance that Senator Hanna's death was momentarily ex pected and that the nation was ir mourning.
 MT. Murphy knew Senator Hanna quite intimately and admired hin greatly and naturally felt quite de pressed over the sad news. He re marked that the republican party hal lost a great man and leader.

CITIZENS OBJECT TO GIVING UP
 LANDS.
Think the Late Navajo Boundary Ex-
 tension Is Much Too inclusive.

Frank Mead. representing the In. dian Department at Washington. D C., has been in Flagstaff several days says the Gem. He is here for the purpose of investigating the boundary line of the Navajo Indian reservation extension. The government has ex- tended the lire three or four miles this side of the Little Colorado river. and this very materially affects the stock interests of this county
 protest has been made by the citi- zens against this extension and on Monday a large number of our citi- Zens met MT. Mead at the court house to discuss the matter and lay the facts before him. After some time spent ia preliminaries it was decided to take the testimony of a number of citizens. and also of Indians, to give Mir. Mead T full understanding of the matter. Governor Brocie was present and laid the matter before MT. Mead. and said that he believed the Little Colo Tado river should be the boundary line. inasmuch as il was the most nat ural one that could be made. The Governor expressed the full sentiment CT our entire people.
 The stockmen and Indians have for years recognized the river as the di- viding line and there is no justice in changing it. By making the river the line. both Indians and stcckmen will have free access to the water Whereas. if the line is extended this side of the river, it will absolutely de prive all stock ranging on the east side of the San Francisco mountains ui water. as the river is their natural drifting point

THE ST. LOUIS GRAND JURY
The Principal RecOmm n datIOn
Made il the EIiuIinatiOn of the
Police From Politics.

ST. Louis, April 2-The February
grand jury, in its final report to Judge
Taylor, suggests to Gov. Dockery that
non-p&rtisan board of police COM
missioners be appointed, with view
to the removal of the police force from
politics. Following are extracts from
the report:
"The personnel of our police force is
excellent, and when political consider
ations are not involved they are most
efficient. Examples of their self-cOn-
troll, bravery and heroism have been
placed before us, challenging our high
ton from politics would make them in
ferior to none; and we can not too
strongly recommend TO the governor of
the state that this be done.
eve lean to the theory that policing
is a function of the state and that
power to control should be lodged with
the governor, but we do strongly be-
lieve, for the best interest of the city,
in the exercise of that power through
the police board, partiZan political in
huence should be entirely eliminated,
and this can only be done through a
non-partizan board of police commits
sionerS.
ct is OF the greatest Importance for
the welfare of the city that our gov
ernor 10 this at once and make the
necessary changes in the present
board, as the Worlds fair is to be
opened shortly and the strain on the
police force will be greater than it has
ever been.
"It would simplify the conduct Of
affairs if there were but one
large legislative body of from forty to
sixty members, instead of two bodies.
as now is the case in this city. Our city
should be run as large corporation is
business principles and en-
tirely removed from the domain Of
politics.

of Woman Murdered.

San Francisco, April 2.-Mrs. Cordelia
Botkin was called Friday as the first
witness for the defense, in her trial for
the murder of Mrs. John p. Dunning
by means of poisoned candy.
She denied all the discriminating evil
dence given against her by witnesses
for the state.
Mrs. Botkin told at length of her re-
latiOnS with John P. Dunning, whom
she said she first met in Golden Gate
park, who had assisted financially. She
said he also received $500 from Mrs.
Corbaly. She said she was in Hum
boldt county on June II, 1897 the date
of the post mark on an anonymous let
ter mailed to Mrs. Dunning from San
Francisco.
She denied that she wrote the letter,
and also denied the statements concern
ing her movements in the testimony of
Miss Lizzie Livernash.
She had never inquired regarding the
effects of pOisons, and had never con-
templated suicide. She emphatically de-
MED purchasing the handkerchief found
the box CT poisoned candy. She as
serted that she had never in her life
been in the store of Haas &. Son, where

THE COPLEY, CAL.,
TRAIN ROBBERY
Express Messenger O'Neill Lost His
Life Rather Than Submit.
THE EXPRESS SAFE WAS BLOWN
Robbers Compelled the Engineer to
Rum His Engine, With Them ON
Board: to Kesvvicl<, Where
They Dropped on

Sacramento, Cal, April 2. Just be-
fore II o'clock Thursday night, as the
south-bound train reached Copley, near
heswick, three men jumped the train
and cut the train in two, taking the
engine and express car down the track
a short distance. They stopped the en-
gine and demanded that Messenger
O'Nei1 open the express car. He re-
fused, whereupon they deliberately
killed him by shooting him through
the head. The bandits then blew up
and robbed the express car of its con-
tents, but it is not known how much
they got.
After robbing the express car the
men cut the car loose, and, getting on
the engine, compelled Engineer joe
sink to go ahead. When near Keswick
the men dropped off the engine and
disappeared in the night with their
plunder
There were two safes in the car, a
heavy through safe and a smaller 10
cal safe. The local safe was blown to
atoms, and the top az the through safe
was blown off. Tiny pieces of green
backs and twisted coins covered the
floor. 1t is certain that the robbers did
not get great amount of plunder, al
though their laundering work may
have destroyed thousands of dollars.

Takes His Life.
a Bullet From A Revolver Was Sent
Crashing Through His Drain
With FATAL Eject.

Pensacola, Fla, April 2.-Leut.-
ton, chief engineer of the battleship
Maine, now in this harbor, committed
suicide in his cabin on board that YES
sci Friday. A bullet from revolver
was sent crashing through the brain,
and death resulted within 40 minutes
afterwards. The executive officer Of
the ship was passing the door OF Com
mander Warburton's cabin, when he
was startled by the report of revolver
within. The bullet, after passing
throught the brain, came through the
door and struck the rail of the ship,
barely missing the executive officer.
The latter notified the other officers, and
the door to the commanders cabin was
forced open. He was found lying on
the floor in pool of blood, and the
revolver was grasped in his right hand.
The commander expired shortly after
wards. No cause is known for the Of
hcer's committing the act. He ap-
peared to be in the best of health and
spirits, and within a few weeks would
have been assigned to shore duty.

lief that death was the result of an
accident, and that the commander had
not committed suicide. Commander
Warburton had been chief engineer of
the Maine since that vessel was placed
in commission. He was formerly on the
Indiana.

decided upon, but the announcement
of names is withheld
The speeches will conclude just be-
fore noon, when the band will play the
"Star Spangled Banner as a prelude
to the opening of the exposition by
President Roosevelt, who, from the
White House in Washington, will
touch the button that is to release the
current starting the great engines in
hall and setting in motion
the wheels all over the exposition.
