IGNORANT OF ARIZONA
How Little Ordinarily WelI-Informed
 Hen Know of This Territory.

Prescott, May 31.-(Special.)- )-At the banquet at tho Yavapai club Monday night in honol of J. H. Emmert, MT. F. M. Murphy n speaking of Mir Elm merits depar, ure for Detroit and the fact that in his new field of activity he would ha ve many opportunities to be of service to Arizona, touched upon topic MT. Murphy said:
 "I am reliably informed that within the past few days while in Chicago on his way to Oregon and Alaska, Speak CT Cannon remarked that Arizona was like Nevaua-pankrupt, and should be joined to New Mexico. Utah or Neva- da. or words to that effect. It is hard for us to understand how any sane man could make such a statement un- less grossly misinformed or purposely disposed for reasons unexplainabIe, to inflict upon Arizona an irreparable wrong"
 It was learned today that MT. Mur- phys allusion to Speaker Cannons at titude was based on a letter he had received from his brother, ex-Governor N. O. Murphy, who had a conference with the speaker in Chicago. In rela- tion to that interview Governor Mur- phy wrote his brother:
 T have just had quite an argument with Speaker Cannon of the House of Representatives. He is here with the congressional committee who are going to Portland. Ore and to Alaska. Our controversy was over statehood and he displayed a great amount of ignorance He said to me Arizona is like NeVada-bankrupt Why don't you come in as a state, by being united to New Mexico? I replied to him that l would fight until the crack of doom against any such unhOly alliance He said, Why don't you allow yourself to be annexed to Utah or Nevada?' I replied, Because the dog refuses to be wagged by the tail.' I told him that had understood that he was to visit Arizona with Colonel Greene and the people of Arizona were anxious to meet him and extend every courtesy within their power and give him an oppOr- tunity by seeing. to judge for himself intelligently. Oh he said in a flout- ing way T know all about Arizona and that country shall never have as many senators as Illinois while I am in congress. I said to him, MT. Speaker. you are too big a man to talk that way and the interview ended"

Desires a PrOIOngdtiOn of
 the Far Eastern War
A FRENCH VIEW OF 1T
While Paris Has Hope of Peace It Is Admittedly Not Very StFoDg-At Any Rate Time for Intervention Is Not at Hand.

Paris, May 31.-Governmental quar- ters here for the first time entertain a distinct hope of peace. This hope is not strong, but it is something more than a deduction from the result of the re- cent naval battle.
 What it is based upon is not known outside of those intimately conversant with Russian intentions, but it is sig nificant that a hope now prevails in high quarters that peace efforts may not be futile. It is said, however, that everything depends upon the small cir cle very closely identified with Emper- or Nicholas, who it is recognized, must have the final word despite any other influences favorable to peace.
 Concerning the reports of the possi- ble intervention of the powers, it is said that the time has not yet arrived for such a movement which might en- barrass pacific tendencies already de- Veloping in Russia At the same time the view prevails that moral influences in France, Great Britain and the Un- ited States stand for peace, while the interests of Germany incline towards a prolongation of the war.
 Premier Rouvier has publicly assert ed that Russia's defeat at Mukden led
 
 program in Morocco, and the same sentiment prevails here now, namely, that Russia's defeat in the Straits of Korea further strengthens German am bitions. Therefore it is expected that the first step toward peace will come through France, Great Britain and the United States if an opportune moment arrives for a separate or concurrent expression of such influences.

Charles J. BOnaparte to
 Succeed Sec. Morton
HEARD WITH SURPRISE
Fir. Morton Will Retire on July 1 to Take Charge of the Upbuilding of the New York InterbOrough Lines. His Efficient Service.

Washington, May 31.-President Roosevelt today authorized the an nouncement that Chas. J. Bonaparte of Baltimore, would be appointed secre- tary of the navy to succeed Paul Nor ton, who earlier in the day stated that he would retire on July 1, to go to New York to take charge of plans for the construction of a subway system for operation in connection with the surface lines.
 The president also authorized the statement that no other change in the personnel of tte cabinet was likely to take place in the near future. Secre- tary Shaw has already indicated his intention of retiring from the cabinet Rumors of Attorney General Moody's retirement have been published but it is known to be his intention to re- main in the cabinet.
 To all except President Roosevelt's closest advisers the announcement of the selection of Mir Bonaparte as head of the navy came as a distinct surprise, although it had been determined on by the president for some time, in antici- patton of MT Morton's retirement. In all the gossip MT. Bonaparte has not been suggested as MT. MOrton's pos sible successor.
 For many years MT. BOnaparte has been an intimate friend of the presi- dent. So great is MT. Roosevelt's con- fidence in him that on many matters of national concern he has sought his advice and counsel To determine ac- curately the legal phases of the postal frauds, the president designated MT. Bonaparte and Holmes Conrad to in vestigate the subject and on their re- port he took decisive action without hesitation.
 Eminent as a lawyer and as a pub licist and a consistent advocate of civil service reform MT. Bonaparte has not been supposed to have more than an academic interest in the navy. Tn the upbuilding of the navy, however, he is known to be in perfect accord with the president and doubtless will carry into effect the views of MT Roosevelt for the strengthening of the naval establishment
 expected retirement followed a confer ence with the president lasting about an hour It had been stated that Mr. Morton will retire on July 1, provided the president would accept his resigna- tion from that date and today's state ment therefore officially confirms what has been known for several weeks. When he retires he will have rounded out exactly one year of cabinet life. He succeeded Wm. H. Moody of Massa- chusetts, who became attorney general.

Is Believed to Be the De-
 CiSiOn of the CZar
IA DUCAL CONFERENCE
So Complete Was the Destruction of the Russian Fleet that Only Four
 Vessels Have Arrived at Vladivos-
 tOk-ROjestvensky in Jap Hospital.

Little hope for the Russians can be found in the latest dispatches regard ing the naval battle off Tsu Island. Only four of the vessels of RojestVeI;y- l1y's fleet are known to have reached N1adivostJk, the cruiser Almaz and the torpedo boat destroyers Grozny, Brava and Terosiahty. The full extent of the Russian casualties in men and of nt"rs tiled, drowned, wounded O. captured is not yet known. The Jap anese losses, as reported from Tokio are only three torpedo boats sunk. three officers killed and about 200 men killed OF disabled. Not one of the big fighting ships of the Japanese navy vas lost It is now definitely. known that Vice Admiral Rojestvensky is captured. He is seriously wounded. but t is stated from Tokio that he will recover.
 Interest now turns to the situation in Russia as a result of the naval disas :. ter. The emperor on Wednesday sum InOned to the palace at Tsarskoe- -SeIo, all tAe members of the imperial family and laier called into extraordinary council Admiral Alexieff and all his ministers of state and a series of con fe~ences took place as to the course to be pursued. The result of these con . ferences is in doubt as the ministers on returning to St. Petersburg observ- ed cautious reticence as to what took place. It is believed however, that the emperor is determined on prosecution of the war, the government fearing the effects of the disaster on the Russian people.
 The army in Manchuria is not yet aware of the disaster to the navy and the dispatches say, is still praying for victory.
 The Russian press. with few except ions, is openly indignant and is at tacking bureaucracy, one paper saying that those guilty of the Russian de- feat should be overwhelmed with shame"
 Admiral Voelkersam is supposed to have perished.

Rojestvensky in Naval Hospital at
 Saseso.

Tokio, May 31-Admiral Togo reports that all the captured ships sent to Sasebo have arrived and that their CT ews have been landed. Admiral Rc- Jestvenslxy has entered a naval hospital The report that Vice Admiral Enquist was captured proves to have been a mistake. caused by a misinterpretation of wireless telegrams. Admiral Togo also reports that two Russian hospital ships which accompanied Admiral Ro- jestvensky's fleet into the Straits of Korea on May 27, were suspected of a violation of The Hague convention and besides, owing to the greatest neces- sity for strategic protection, he detain- ed them temporarily and conveyed them to Sasebo on May 2S-
 By the direction of the emperor, Ad- miral Ito has instructed Admiral Togo to allow Vice Admiral Nebogatoff and the other Russian officers to transmit a report of the battle and a list of ca sualties and prisoners to the emperor of Russia. The officers of the battle ships OreI and Nikolai and the coast defense ships Admiral Apraxine and Admiral Seniavin, are to be permitted to return to Russia upon giving their paroles. The damages to Japanese

were slight. Only three torpedo boats were lost. No warships or destroyers were sunk.
 The emperor has issued the following re5cript to AdimraI Togo:
 "Cur combined fleet encountered the enemys fleet in the Korean strait and after several days desperate battle an- initiated it, accomplishing an unpre- cedented feat.
 We are glad that by the loyalty of our officers and men we have been en- abled to respond to the spirit of our ancestors.
 Though the war be long we hope that you will be loyal and brave and secure a successful result"
 To the navy the emperor issued the following rescript: Our navy with the best strategy and the greatest courage annihilated the enemy's squadron and answered our hope. We appreciate deeply your splendid success"

which occupied nearly two hours. When it was concluded, the directors adjourned for an hour. after which d discussion of the report was taken up. This conference continued for nearly two hours when an adjournment was taken until II a. m. on Friday.
 The report was not adopted, the con ference being devoted to a preliminary discussion of It's most important re- commentators, some of which it was ascertained, were of a very radical character. When the adjournment was taken MT. Prick said he was una ble to say when the report would be made public. All directors at the meet ing were pledged to maintain absolute secrecy regarding it.

TUr KINGS SPEECH.

~, ,,oo,Io >, said Carlyle. whose an
i@"pFi t,,l :, history books The hackneyed
quotation comes appropriately TO hiii,u az ZIG
r.oroo+vned comment of the day upon the hlng
speech at the opening or the bri'lsn ,,, 'liii.
,o,t .Tba document was commonplace
That means it was not sehsatioiiaa a.
yvos M war nor rumor of war in it, Ihere was
oo,troI-ersiaI proposal There was nothing,
- ,.s+ :, domestic affairs or in British rela-
tions with other lands, beyond those ordinary
op5 routine affairs which are characteristic OF
the nation which is at once prosperous, STEADY
,oipr md secure The British annals OF the
day are blank in history books; wherefore we
may reckon the British people happy
Nevertheless, this commonplace speech con-
tains much that must be gratifying TO the thouSht
ful observer Of affairs The reference TO the war
I'm the East, perfunctory as it Is is deeply SIG
niacant. The war continues; but the British
government maintains the strictest neutrality
We can recall no chapter in nations history
more creditabIe than that thus suggested we
,nust remember that Great Britain is the hafd
and fast alIy of Japan, bound to remain her ally
until this war is ended, and bound 10 Joul
forces with her in war in case any thlrd power
enters the conflict. Yet we believe IT Is the con-
cession of the world that Great Britain has H.
deed observed the strictest neutrality In always
difficult and sometimes exceptionally trying clr-
cnmS1ancGS Inefe mas just COhic W a SAoS~ -
friendly diplomatic inquiry into one OF the most
exasperating and ominous incidents on record
in which as we have hitherto observed, Great
Britain has shown a self-control worthy OF all
commendation. That nation thus situated haS
thus comported itself at such time is one O.
the finest facts that could be recorded OF any
nation. Coupled with announcements OF the
Anglo-French convention, of various arbitration
treaties and of cordial relations with all pow
ers. this feature of the speech presents an en-
yiable view of British foreign affairs.
That the presentation of domestic affairs is
altogether commonplace may, however, be
doubted We have said there is no controversial
nroposal: but there is hint at something which
NAV prove controversial in a high degree. It
was reported some time ago that the redistribu-
ton proposal had been dropped. Now we are
told it is brought to the fore and is to be laid
before the House of Commons. In that an
nouncement there is potentiality OF vast sensa-
ton and almost limitless controversy. 1t will
all depend upon the nature Of the scheme. If it
is a radical measure, intended TO make an Irish
vote count for no more than an English vote,
and to make every vote count for the same as
every other vote in the United Kingdom, as
nearly as may be, it contains almost iilimitahle
possibilities of contention. We shall await its
unfolding with keen interest. At present 1t is
the only storm cloud visible in the Parliament
ary Sky.
