Washington. ID. c., August 14.-The
promised letter from John Hyde, for
mer statistician of the Department of
Agriculture, in response to Secretary
Wilson's cablegram urging him to re-
turn from England and testify in the
proceedings before the special grand
jury which is investigating charges
against Edwin S. Holmes, the former
associate statiStician, arrived today.
The letter was as indefinite as Hyde's
recent cablegram to Secretary Wilson
and nothing is known as to his in
tentions beyond his promise to return
las soon as possible
In the absence Of Secretary Wilson,
who has gone to Chicago, the letter
was turned over to District Attorney
Beach who authorized its publication.
1t is dated Southport, England,
August 81 and is as follows
Dear Sir:-Your cablegram of
July 27 reached me by mail from
London, August 2. AS | stated in my
reply, / will return as soon as posi-
BILE. A brief delay is unavoidable. The
carbuncle from which ] have suffered,
shortly after leaving Washington has
been followed by a much more serious
one and | am in bad shape altogether.
AS [ wish to avoid going over a third
time, | must also see the specialist
whom | came over to consult. | have
not vet been within two hundred miles
of London and the statement that |
was attending the convention OF the
statistical institute was mistake.
VERY respectfully,
"JOEIN HYDE.
Hyde says he wishes to avoid third
trip abroad, which statement refers TO
the fact that ne was in Europe at
the time of the Holmes dismissal and
was called back to take charge OF al
fairs pending an examination Of the
Bureau of Statistics. Later he re-
signed his position in the department
but had promised TO hold himself IN
readiness TO aid in every way possible
the investigation being made by the
Department of Justice. His second
departure for England was made with
ont the knowledge of either the Off
cials of the Department OF Agriculture
or the Department of Justice.

reach them each day. Most of them
are addressed to chiefs of the mission,
Baron Komura and Mr.. Witte. Tney
are of every scription-friendly ten
ders of advice regarding the negotla-
tions requests for autographs and
photographs, words of welcome, words
of praise, advertisements and invita-
tions to visit various cities of the
United States. Some of them contain
elaborate arguments from t& paru-
sans of each side in support of the
convictions of the writer's. Others Of
fer easy solutions of the problems the
plenipotentiaries have come here to
try to solve, but the majority so Ia"
as the negotiations are concerned on
" express the hopes of the would-be
workers for peace. Numerous are
the letters from pastors of churches
telling of prayers for peace. Then
there are the usual crank letters -
some of them threatening in tone.
Mr.. Witte has received much advice
as to what should be done to relieve
the international situation in Russia.
ed solemn warnings of impending dis
aster, personal and national, but no
threat of serious nature has been re-
ceived either by Baron Komura or
Mr.. Witte Besides there are secre,

AS TO THE FUTURE.

The numerous floods of the pres ent year have demonstrated the tact that a serious condition contronts the town of Clifton. Immediately following the flood of January 9th the ERA stated that it would be fool- isb to rebuild on the same ground without first providing ample means of protection against reoccurrence of the flood. The ERA stated then that similar floods had occurred dur ing the memory of people now living and no doubt would occur again. It requires no wiseacre to make pre- diction of this kind. The fact that such floods have occurred is sufficient argument that they will continue to occur from time to time. It is even possible that we may not as yet have seen the worst one.
 People who have studied the rain fall tables of this section know that the wet and dry seasons occur Tn cycles. We are apt to have several wet years and then several dry ones. The wet seasons usually last two or three years. There were some very wet seasons here in the 70's, again in the early sos. What was heretofore known as the Big Flood" occurred in 1891. Then there was the flood ot January last and the flood of Mon day, which is said to have been equal to the one of 1891. These exCep- tional seasons show what can be ex- pected in the years to come, but the real, vital and burning question is the protection of the town at the present time.
 The directors of the Arizona Cop per company, the potent factor in the up-building of the town, unfor- tunately reside on the other side of the globe, and apparently do not realize existing conditions, though they have had ample warning during the present year. These floods have been of such rare occurrence during the past twenty years that they have heretofore been justified in taking chances, but the seasons seem to have changed, and it will now be necessary for them to adopt heroic measures for the Continuance of their business @ he protection of their own property, which will in measure protect others who are in directly connected with the welfare of the company.
 It is unfortunate that the local management of the company is not able to control the rainfall, there fore it will be necessary for liberal appropriations by the board of direc- tors for the permanent improvement of the river. There is no doubt that ample protection can be had by the expenditure of sufficient amount of money, and fortunately the company has a large reserve fund on hand from which it can draw at any time. Were it otherwise, it might be that the very existence of the town would be in question.

THE entire territory has been vis- tied by exceptionally heavy rains and floods. Phoenix was flooded and many railroads put out of commis- sion. The railroad bridge between Maricopa and Phoenix was washed away. The temporary dam at Roose- welt was destroyed, and much dam age done all over the territory, but through the clouds of diversity comes a ray of sunshine for the future. The moisture in the soil and in the mountains is a guarantee of a most prosperous year.

THE Southern railroad has made a three cent round d1tl-ip tF-i+pp-r rate to the territorial fair. That is pretty fair on the part of the road, and it will be appreciated by the people. As it is the first territorial fair ever given in Arizona, the people are anxious that it should be. a success.

During food-times everybody feels at liberty to take advantage of every means of escape, and the other day Dan Travis, w. E. McConkey, Jack Miller and Robert Harper met with peculiar instance. They were congregated at the residence of Mrs. Munroe and when the water con tinued to rise they placed couple of timbers from the back of Mrs. Nun roe's residence to the window of the school house. Shortly thereafter the principal of the school came along and closed the window and destroyed the platform. After the water had risen to it's highest the boys replaced their timbers and in so doing broke out the window. This caused the professor a little uneasiness but he has not yet decided to throw them in for destruction of public property since Dan has issued an order to re- place the damage.
