NogsIes Man in Trouble.

A special despatch to THE OASIS today from Chicago states that James w. Goodman, the well known Nogales mine promoter, tried the kill Colonel w. c. Greene, president of the Cananea Consol- dated Copper Company, in that city this morning. The attempt was unsuccessful and Goodman is in custody.
 Ather details are not obtainable at this time but it is supposed that Mir. Goodman, who has been in the East for some time on mining bus iness, was on his way back to Ari- zona, met Mir. Greene in Chicago, and that discussion arose with the above results.
 Mr. Goodman has lived for many years in Arizona and Sonora and has held many positions of trust. He is of a very peaceful tempera- ment, bears an excellent reputa- ton wherever known and his many Nogales friends refuse to believe the report of his attempting to kill Mir. Greene.

Very Enjoyable Affair.

In the new Hotel Arcadia at Hermosillo last Saturday night SobddO de Gl0rid-occurred the sec ond in a series of dances being given by the hotel management to their many friends and patrons. The patio or inner court of the hotel had been beautifully decorated with bunting and flowers, present. ing very pretty spectacle as did also the spacious dining room of the new hostelry which was used as the ball room and there was stationed the or chestra greeting the arriving guests with choice musical selections. At ten o'clock was started the grand march and the ball was in full swing. A short intermission was taken at midnight to partake of a dainty lunch after which dancing was re- sumed, it being nearly three o'clock in the morning before the guests began to leave, bringing to close a highly enjoyable function.
 The Hotel Arcadia dances are a great feature of the social life in the Sonora capital and many com pliments to the management are heard on all sides for the success ful manner in which they are con ducted.

Labor Leader Makes n Speech mt the
Federation Committee Nicotine

New York, May 7.-Capital and labor
met again to-day at the continued
meeting of the Executive Committee
of the National Civic Federation
The object of the meeting was the
proposition of joint trade agreement
one of the subjects which the late
chairman, Senator Marcus A. Hanna.
believed was the closest to the work of
the federation. John Mitchell strongly
advocated the joint trade agreement
idea. THE idea of the Joint trade
agreement is the essence of trade nm
ionism." he said: 1--WE have now az
900 men working under conditions
which are fixed by joint agreement. We
adjust all differences now by agree
ments: we leave no question to arbi-
tration; arbitration is preferable to
strikes-that is all.
believe in strikes. / also believe
IN lockouts. Neither side must sur-
render either one of these rights. But
l believe neither thing should be re-
sorted to until each has exhausted
every peaceful means for settlement .
In reply to questions put to him bv
members of the federation, Mr.. Mitch
ell said that under no circumstances
would he consent to the arbitration of
some fundamental questions. He
would never consent to arbitrate the
eight-hour work day or his right to be-
long to a union.

Washington, May 7.-Secretary Shaw
this afternoon signed treasury war
rant for $4O,O0O,OOO which will be de-
livered next Monday to j. P. Nor
gan & Co., of New York, as dlsburs-
ing agents of this government on ac-
count of the Panama canal purchase.
The warrant is dated, May 9. and will
be delivered by Secretary Shaw per-
sonally on Monday next.
This warrant is many times larger
than any warrant ever before issued
by this government. The largest sum
previously covered by a single gov
ernment warrant was for 1920, 900 paid
to Russia in 1868, on account of the
Alaskan purchase.
The next sum was $5 SOC, 900 paid in
1876 to the British government on ac-
count of the Halifax award under the
treaty of Washington for infringement
of fisheries rights in Nova Scotian'
waters. In 1899 this government paid
Spain, through the French ambassador.
$20,000,000 for the Philippine Islands,
but this sum was represented by four
variants of $5,0O0,000 each.
The $4,000, 900 agreed upon as the
purchase price for the Louisiana Ter
ritory was paid in 1903 by the assump-
tion by the United States of the claims
of citizens of this country against
France, amounting to $3.50, ,000 and
the issue to France of certificates of
stock in the sum of $11, ,25O, 900.

This undertaking, compared with
the last two, resulted in greater casual
ties to our side. Owing to the inclem-

prepare tions for defense completed by
the enemy, he could save none OF the
officers of the crews of the Chotaru

The energy of the Japanese meets
with unwilling admiration, and it is
expected that they will continue a Wig
orous campaign. The nation is fully
awakened TO what this means. 1t un-
derstands that Russia must exert all
her strength and that long war can
not be avoided. The latter opinion is
shared by diplomats and officials.
Comfort is found in the fact that
thus far Russia has not sustained

All the Men He Wants.
The Emperor is deeply panied over
the Russian losses of the Yalu and
regrets that the investment of Port
Arthur could not have been prevented.
He will, however, acquiesce without
question in the plan of Gen. Kuropat-
kin, even should that plan contem-
plate the withdrawal of the Russian
army further into the interior. Those
close to his majesty state that he is
more than ever determined that Rus
sian prestige shall be vindicated in
the Far East, as necessary not only TO
Russia, bur to the whole white race as
an answer to the Japanese blows.
Further reinforcements have been
dispatched to Manchuria, and the EN-
peror has reiterated his declaration

many men as are needed to insure
victory to the Russian arms.

his position.
Officials here frankly confess, how
ever, that they are not fully informed
of Kuropatkin's play. He is in sole
charge of the operations in Manchu-
ria. The Emperor decided when Gen.
huropatkin started out that he should
have complete independence. What lit
tie is known here shows that he in
tends to observe the same caution that
mas distinguished the operations of
the japanese. Finding that he could
not offer battle at Feng- Wang-C -Cheng
with an even chance of success, he has
decided to fall back, it is believed, to

DISTRACTIONS ON TRACK.
Narrow Escape From Wreck in
North Carolina

Asheville, N. c.. May 7.-Three an
gle bars placed on the track at Cor
mans bridge, five miles west of Ashe-
vile, came near wrecking the fast
west-bound passenger train No. S5 at
2 o'clock yesterday morning. The OBJ
structions were distributed along the
track and the engine passed over the
first.
Engineer Parrot shut off steam and
reversed his engine at the first OBJ
struction. When the second was reach
ed the train had slackened it's speed,
and the engine rode the obstacles for
some distance. 1t came to a stop just
in time to prevent it's striking a third
obstacle.
The escape from a disastrous wreck
is due to the fact that the engineer
had his train under excellent control
The point where the obstructions
were placed is an unusually dangerous
place.
