A CHA BEND DEAL
In Which a Multitude of Chinamen
 Appeared to Figure.

w. T. Williams, of Gila Bend, is hay ing the time of his life in getting his title to some business property in Gila Bend straigatened out. It can be done, but it will take a great many correct i've deeds to accomplish it. The tangle arose over a popular misunderstandin g at Gila Bend regarding the names of a couple of Chinamen who were in busi- ness there in an early day. Their right names were Nun Pau and Tim Lee. They were the owners of a restaur- ant. They were permitted to put up a building on a lot belonging to F. G. Carruthers. MT. Carruthers subse- quently gave them a deed, and that is when the trouble began.
 In making out the deed MT. Car ruthers, thinking it was a matter of no consequence, since the grantees were a couple of Chinamen for whom one name was as good as another, spelled their cognomens by ear, and he had not heard accurately. One of them appears in the instrument as Moon Pow and the other as Lin Tee. After that the names of the Chinamen changed with every change Of weather. No assessor ever got their names alike anu 1ilNg NClN llCFSI CllNtiGh upOil lliC duplicate assessment roll even as the assessors had them. It is also a singu- lar fact that the names were never miscalled twice in the same way. The parties who mad business with them seemed to have exercised an uncon- scious ingenuity in making as many combinations as possible out of the letters composing their names.
 Finally they went out of business and they sold their property to MT. Williams, who, after holding it for some years, has found a chance to dis pose of it. The Southern Pacific rail- road wanted a restaurant at Gila Bend and a couple of Chinamen were found here willing to undertake the venture. The railroad company offered them a concession in the matter of freightS. All their supplies will be carried from points along the line of the road free of charge. This was an attractive proposition and led to the deal with Mr. Williams for the former restau- rant property, and that led to the dis covery of the kaleidoscope names of the former proprietors. The discovery at first made it appear that a consid- erable part of the population of the Chinese empire had at one time or an- other been interested in Gila Bend realty.

A FLOURISHING CONDITION
Report of the Affairs of the Phoenix
 Building and Loan.

The sixteenth annual meeting of the stockholders of the Phoenix Building and Loan association was held last evening in the office of the secretary, R. H. Greene. There was represented by proxies and in person 1,94S of the 2,7S9 shares outstanding. The follow ing named gentlemen were elected di- rectors for the ensuing term of three years: c. F. Ainsworth, P. A. Thar aldson and R. H. Greene, and Claude w. Cisney to fill a vacancy. There were several interesting features in the report of the secretary. It was shown that the receipts of the association for the past year were $104, 4,673.77. The resources amount to $1S3,435.92. in cluding loans, $157, ,324.92; and cash in the treasury, $3,346.37, held for matur- ing stock. The report also shows that the association has tied up in real es- tate only $3,4S6.9S, and a profit of $1,200 was received from the sale of real estate acquired.
 The association was never in better condition. The demand for money is in excess of it's ability to fill, which gives the association the pick of choice loans. The association has been before the people of Phoenix and Salt River valley for sixteen years and has, by fair treatment, won the confidence of both investors and borrowers.
 The secretary reports that the new issue of gold bonds is taking we'll with investors. There is also a much larger subscription to the new series of stock now being issued than for a long time before. This indicates that the peo- pie have more money for investment, are saving more of it, and have confi- dence in the Phoenix Building and Loan association. The association, however, desires and should have a much lar ger membership. It has proved itself worthy institution, which has been the means of building hundreds of home in this city and valley.

THE NOLON CASE
 OUT OF THE WAY
Attorney Furnishes Bonds for Ap-
 pearance Before U. 5. Court.

The removal proceedings in the case of Attorney G. O. Nolon, under in dictment by the United States circuit court of Oregon, came up before Judge Kent yesterday afternoon. The re- moval of Nolon was not ordered nor was the character of the indictment against him gone into. He was merely put under a $500 bond for his appear ance at Portland whenever his pres ence may be required there.
 This arrangement had been made at an informal conference between the court, United States Attorney Nave and Nolon. Later in the day an order was made and Nolon produced tine bond. It is not known when he shall appear before the circuit court, no in- formation on that point having come with the instructions for his appre- hension. He was directed to write to the United States district attorney for the district of Oregon and ascertain when he shall appear.
 Nolon had previously stated that he had no objections to returning to Ore gon, though on account of his legal business at Florence he did not want to go until it was necessary for him to do so. He has no fear of the result of the proceedings against him, and he is of the opinion that the indict- ment was brought only for the purpose of securing his presence as a witness in the conspiracy case with which his name has been connected. At the time of his departure from Oregon, nearly a year ago, he did not know of any intended action by the Government nor did ne know of it until he heard of his indictment. He will return to Florence today.

The Virginia Exceeded the Limit.

The battleship Virginia completed her Off
cial speed tests in a four-hour endurance
run down the coast yesterday afternoon.
during which she slightly exceeded her
contract speed of nineteen knots an hour
by maintaining an average revolution of
her propellers of 1875 a minute. Her
speed, as announced by the trial board,
was 1901 knots an hour. On her screw
standardizing tests held on the measured
mile course off Rockland. Nc, on Tues
day, II was ascertained that the Virginia
would have to maintin 1898 revolutions Of
her propellers to attain her required speed
of nineteen knots. This was done yester-
day with a slight excess of two-tenths of
a revolution, on which basis the trial board
figured her speed for the four hours, no
legs marks being used. The big battle
ship was favored with good weather. There
was a fairly strong head wind, but the sea
was smooth. Throughout the entire run,
while the nineteen knots were being main
tanned, the water poured in great volumes
over her bow and completely flooded her
forward deck. The engines worked smooth
ly, and an average of 5000 horse power
was kept up during the run. The average
speed of the Virginia on her endurance
tests was the same as that of the Rhode
Island d sister ship, three weeks ago.

ISLE OF PINES TROUBLE.
American Residents Plan to Elect
Legislative Officers.

A cabIegram from Neuva Corona, Isle of
Pines. last night says: Officers of the
new territorial government will be inaugu-
rated here on Saturday. A mass meeting
has been called for that afternoon by per-
sons perfectly sympathizing with any move
to place the Isle of Pines within the United
States, but wishing to hold a general con-
ference to determine whether the measures
adopted are in conformity with legal pre-
cedents so that there may be no technical
question of the validity of the credentials
to be taken to Washington 10y the delegate
to Congress, Mr.. Ryan, the entire American
population is expected to pour into this
town to hold q jubilee on the inauguration.
Their pan is first to hold meeting, at
which all who wish are invited TO discuss
the points raised regarding the election for
malitieS. There may be many conflicting
ideas, as nobody on the island processes
to know just what Is necessary in the for
nation of a United States territory.
Some insist that as the legislature has
made election rules there can be none. Oth-
ers say Congress has provided rules for
territories They believe ten days notice
is essential for each step of the meeting,
nomination and voting. Under the circum-
stances talk along these lines can result in
nothing, as all Is theoretical.
Much more important will be the dis
cussion as to what steps the new officials
should take. After installing all the new
officers, the legislature will hold Its first
session under the presidency of DIR. f. r.
Ramsdell. 1t will organize to hear the
message of the secretary of state, MI T.
b. Anderson, and then adjourn. The Rev
Mr.. Frazee of the Methodist Church at
Santa Fe will act as legislative chaplain.
so far is known by the Americans,
Cuban officials here are taking no steps to
interfere with their plans in any manner
There seems no likelihood of trouble at the
meeting, though notices Of 1t have been
posted throughout the island.

Address at Philadelphia Before the
American Scientists.

Before a distinguished audience of edu-
Gators, other prominent men and women of
Philadelphia and specially invited guests
Baron Rosen, the Russian ambassador to
the United States, appeared in Philadelphia
last night in an address for the first time
since the car gave freedom to the Rus
SLAMS, and expressed his great faith in the
new era on which his country has entered.
The baron was the principal speaker at
the regular meeting of the American Acad-
envy of Political and Social Science, the
general topic under discussion being Amer
ica's Industrial Opportunities in Russia"
Scattered through the audience were men
prominent in Philadelphia Jewish circles,
clergymen. many professors of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania and several japanese.
The other speakers were Herbert H. d.
PIERCE, third assistant secretary of state;
Charles Emory Smith. former minister to
Russia. and Representative Robert Adams,
a member of the foreign affairs committee
of the House of Representatives.
Baron Rosen said in part: Our gracious
sovereigns manifesto. opening to the Rus
sian people the gates of freedom, never to
be closed again, is an, event deeply affect
ing the future of a country equal in size
TO one-sixth part of the habftable globe,
and the destinies of one-tenth part of the
human race. BY the side of the liberation
OF the serfs this is the greatest, the noblest,
the most magnanimous act ever accom-
plished by Russian sovereign. 1t has as
sured to the Emperor Nicholas III an i'm
mortal name in the annals OF history and
will have earned him, when the passions of
the hour have Gained down, the undytng
gratitude of the people.
lit is to be deplored, and by no one is II
more deeply deplored than by the magnani-
nous sovereign, who has had the noble
courage to take this momentous step, and
by the great statesmen in whose expert
enced hands his majesty has placed the
helm OF the ship of state, that the dawn
of liberty in Russia should have been
marked by an outbreak of the widest pas
sions ana of wholesale rioting and blood
shed
Imperial history will pronounce judg-
ment on these events. placing RESPONSE
bilities where they belong. Impartial his
tory will take into account that, in time
of great political upheaval, hopeless minds
are apt to lose their balance, and that IN
tie fever heat of political passions long
cotiiinei and at last unloosened deeds Will
lie done that will Ill some day with burn
ing shame the hearts of the very men who
committed them"
Assistant Secretary of State Peirce spoke
briefly on the opportunity Of American
capital in Russia.
Charles Emory Smith paid a great COM
plinnent to Emperor Nicholas, Count White
and Baron Rosen.

provides that all engineers. firemen and
teams.ers now members of the United

CANALS ON MARS.
Prof. Lowell's Observations Through
a Great Telescope.

Prof Percival Lowell, director of the
Flagstaff observatory, addressed the secre-
tary of arts of the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, at Boston, last night, on
Recent Researches on the Canals of
Mars
The telescope through which the recent
observation of the planet was made is
twenty-four-inch glass and the most space
penetrating of any in the world, he said
Through the telescope Mars was the most
superb object that could be imagined, and
that was no woman who would not give up
her jewels for the effect.
Professor Lowell differed with Prof W.
II. Pickering. who announced In 1882 that
he discovered forty lakes upon the planet
The speaker said that observations at
Flagstaff showed that the dots observed by
Professor Pickering were there, but that
they were not lakes. The number of the
dots had increased to 400, as shown upon
the disks, and were recognizable today.
The whole surface of the planet was trt-
angulated by lines which were believed to
be canals. These lines showed no width,
being just as fine as a telegraph wire APP
peared against the sky. Experiments with
telegraph wires proved that these lines upon
Mars could be quarter of mile wide
Double lines appeared near the equator and
the single ones at the poles.
There was evidence OF vegetation as the
dark areas showed clearer upon the disk
at the season when the vegetation on our
earth was at its height. 1t was in the fall
that the areas began to get light
The canals started at the arctic and con-
tlnued straight down to the opposite pole.
lie therefore believed that these canals were
not natural, but artificial. With everything
beginning at the pole on Mars the water
had to wait until the polar CAPS wore off
observations determine that every oasis
was clasped In double canal. The be-
havior Of these canals could only be in
terpreted by an unnatural process. Pro-
lessor Lowell concluded, therefore, that we
We're looking upon the work OF some sort
of intelligence.
In answer to a question of one of the
members OF the society regarding the at
mospheric conditions ON the planet. PRO
Iessor Lowell said there was SO little air
TO understand many of the things presented
by the telescopes.
