MT. Greene's s Movements.

Colonel William c. Greene and his large party occupying the Pull man cars Edgemere, Olivette and Sunset arrived in the city last evening from Cananea, coming on a special from Naco, and left on the Drummers' special. Colonel Greene and several of the directors of the company left the train dur ing the short stay in the city, and when the Colonel was asked by Dispatch reporter concerning the trip, he said: "The gentlemen who were with me were much pleased with the tour over the Cananea property and the reduction works ard are very enthusiastic over the outlook for the future. Seven of the party are directors of the Greene Consolidated company and we had a meeting of the directors at Cananea which adjourned to meet in New York after visit to the Sierra Madre distlict. Nothing was decided at the meeting in regard to further im- proyements, as.we wish to consider several matters before we take any certain steps. A short time will be spent in Fl Paso, after which we will go to the Sierra Madre country and look after the work ol construction in the new mining district and see what has been ac- complished during the past few months"

Thinks it Tipped a Bit.

MT George Grahams agent for the sonora railway at Magdalena, who has been with the road ever since it was built, advances a theory for the cratic performances of the Magdalena river whenever there is high water, to theTonse- quent damage of the railway line.
 Mir. Graham states that pfeced- ing the year 1887 the river never troubled the railway. It flowed down the course of the valley some distance westward from the line of. the road and never showed any disposition to encroach. But since that year il has constantly cut to- ward the east side of thes canon and valley, driven the railway up on to higher ground, and still con- tinues to cut into it., at the flood season.
 Mir. Graham's theory is4that the earthquake of 1887 tipped the Ci- buta Cafon and Magdalena, valley a triAe to the eastward, giving q natural tendency to flood waters to cut into that direction, which they have constantly done. He says they never cut over to the west side. e+
 That being the case the railway would find q change of fhe line to west side of the river sw9uld save further trouble and a heavy an-. nual bill of expense

SPRINGFIELD FACES SCANDAL.
.,,a,v cbaroes Are Made In Connection
With City Lighting Deal.

Springfield, Ill, July 26.-Mayor
Harry Devereaux, who has been MAX
ing a rather weak and Intellectual fight
to have the city take charge of and
operate it's lighting plant, Strengthened
up his backbone last night and pre-
vented the releasing of the plant by
adjourning the council under the gavel.
The plan is under the control OF the
utilities corporation which has absorb
ed all of the utilities of the city and it
sought to get renewal Of its contract
for lighting the city at $55 a light. In
the face of a lower bid eight members
of the council had been lined UP to
vote for the proposition. and to prevent
his defeat the mayor forced adjourn
ment.
There is likely to be big scandal
over the matter. A corrupt combina-
ton among the aldermen to dispose OF
the city's plant is charged on one hand
and on the other the mayor is accused
Of trying to throw the lighting contract
into the hands of his political friends.
A mass meeting of the citizens for the
purpose of trying to save the plant to
the city has been called for Thurs
day night. The plant cost about $780,
900 and 1t has been proposed to dispose
Of it for $4,000.

pines in one executive bureau of the

these various islands and Alaska could
come to such bureau" he said "and
Hawaiian citizens In Washington could
go to it to discuss the affairs of Ha-
wall"

that the question of Notifications for
Hawaii was one that must be solved
soon. To all interviewers he stated in
connection with the Chinese exclusion
law that there was no intention to adj
NIT any more coolies, and when In

planters would like more such laborers
he said that no change Of policy an, that
respect was intended.
