As yet nothing has developed in the mysterious case of N. De Raglan. the woman who SO long posed as man, whose secret was revealed in death at Phoenix, to show why she should have desired to pass as a man.
 At an inquest and autopsy held yesterday over the body of the dead woman it was established beyond doubt that she was one of the Russian nobil ity, and that she has "wifc" living in Chicago. Beyond this fact, and the discovery of n number of letters from this "wife" and several Russian books. nothing of interest, that would tend to clear up the mystery, was de. veloped.
 De Raylan's estate Is said to consist of several thousand dollars in cash and much valuable jewclry. It was shown that De Raglan practiced all the arts of which she could think to make her. self appear n man. She shaved regu- larly, smoked, and to her physician, Dr. Rowe, who accompanied her to Phoenix from Chicago, talked often of her "wife" in Chicago, and n "son, " that she alleged was now near to man hood. She also displayed photographs at different times of her "wife' and "son.'
 Probably the most interesting testi. mony developed was that of Charles Tanner, a globe.trotter, now in Phoe- nix. who, upon discovering the sex of De Raglan, whom Tanner had known as man in Chicago, said that he had never suspected that De Raylan was other than man. Tanner said he had roomcd with the mystery in Chicago for two years. and had always thought her man. He sad he had known her for three and one.half years, and had never suspected her secret. Tanner de- clared that De Raylan had endeavored 10 enlist in the spanish.American war but had been refused on account of he' slight build. He also told of the cir cumstances under which De Raglan re ceived the letter she had From P-"s'

 To q representative of the Joarnnl- Miner Mir. Murphy stated that while ha felt that hc had n gilt-cdged mort gage on being elected. he had discovered. within the past twenty -four hours, that under the rules governing the post office employees, Mir. Murphy being nt present chief clerk in the local post. office, hc was barred from holding any municipal position, and therefore could not accept the position of Treasurer, if elected. unless first resigning from the Civil Service position, which he, of course, does not wish to do. Hence his withdrawal from the race.
 Of the three remaining candidates. while all feel confident, each stands at present an equal show of landing the position.

MORE CAPITAL IS COMING TO
 YAVAPAI.

That this country IS on the eve of great developments in the mining in. dustry is being demonstrated almost daily by the unprecedented attention which is being given to this district by Eastern and California capital. What is more gratifying is the fact that the men who arc now making in- vestmcnts in Arizona and Yavnpai county are of the substantial class and are not seeking to float any stock boom ing schemes.
 of this number of Walter R. Din more, n prominent wine merchant of San Francisco. who arrived here ycstcr. day from the new copper country, where hc has just taken over, in behalf of group of capitalists, n promising property in the Wendcn district. Mir. Dnmorc is vice president and man. ager of the Alta Vista Wines company of San Francisco, and has been idcnti. fled with other successful business cn. tcrpriscs in the state of California. Through his intimate relations with capitalists he became connected with the big Clark Schwab gold mine at Grcenwater, New. and his success in that venture induced him to interest himself further in the mining indus try. Reports of inc great opportunities awaiting the legitimate use of capital in this district excited his interest, to- gethcr with that of his business friends, and as result he came here week ago, accompanied by the best experts available, fully authorized and prepared to secure any property which he might consider a good business proposition.
 Mir. Dnmore k a practical business man, and hc proposes to mine along straight business methods, exercising the same prudence and caution he has displayed in his own affairs. Associated with him are some of the most prom inent finnnciors in California, and hence there will be no lack of capital for proper and continuous development and therefore no necessity for the sale of stock to provide funjs.
 Mir. Dinmore is accompanied by h's private secretary, Manob Kapaya, a highly educated Japanese, who is nlso n photographer of no mean ability. On their trip through the A. 4 q. country he secured some excellent views of the mining camps of that promising He was in the employ of MT.

dent Mckinley. This was obtained through her being a member of march ing club which escorted the late Nc. kinley's carriage during q parade in Chicago, in which De Raglan was thrown from n horse she was riding, in sight Of the President, who later wrote her n letter, inquiring as to the seriousness of the accident.
 Dr. Rowe, the woman's attending physician since she left Chicago, re. iterated his statement that he was in ignorance of the true sex of his ps. tient. The doctor stated that he had only once examined the woman E lungs, and then through an updershirt, by 70. quest, and had therefore not discovered that De Raglan was woman. He said De Raglan had often talked to him Of his "swecthcarts, and said that ap. parently the woman had more love af. fairs than the ordinary man.
 IL developed that De Raylan had been " marricd' once before, later marry. ing his present "wife," n chorus girl. who. in a message to the Phoenix au. thorities, said she would make an cf. fort to come to Phoenix and inquire into the mystery.
 In m interview with a Chicago news paper man this "wife" positively de. clares that her husband was certainly n man, and that if the body of De Ray. Ian Is that of woman, then n substi tuition has taken place. This. however. as far as the Phoenix authorities are concerned, is given no credence. as it would have been impossible to mako the substitution there. If such a substitu. ton did really take place, as the Chi cago papers are inclined to believe, then it must have been done before the woman came to Phoenix. In this event n mystery will develop as to what has become of the real Do Ray. Ian, the man.
 Altogether 1t is ono of the most mys- tcrious cases that has come to light in years, and it's solution will be eagerly awaited by all who have become fnmil- far with the affair through the p-css.

Tn an article written by Minister John Barrett of Colombia, some good advice is given to American export CTS as to the best way of increasing their trade with the Latin American republics. The total commerce of those countries aggregates annually about s1,SO0, 900 900 gold. Tn -ir importations are of the value of $720, 100000, showing a remarkable advance in ten years. The United States exported to all those countries including Mexico. in 1905. about s1S2.000, 900 worth of goods and i'm. ported s309,O0O,OO0. There is no reason for the continuance of this adverse balance of s127,000.00O against the United States, as all oi those nations buy largely of Euro pean countries. goods that ale pro duced in the United States. Better transportation facilities is one thing greatly needed. A study of the Ian guages and the sending of statesmen who can speak in the natural tongue of those countries is another thInG needed. NIT Barrett we'll sums rI the conditions. which should be studied by American producers.

It is long time, If ever. since the democratic party has had such strong ticket in the field for repre- sentatives. And if the voters of Wa terbury, regardless of party, vote as they talk on various occasions, there is no doubt but what the democratic nominees, Messrs Moriarty and Wells, will be elected by big majori- ties. Both of the candidates are wide awake, progressive business men, and just such persons as the business men of the city have been looking after to attend to the city's wants in Hartford. Every man, wo- man and child in the city knows John Moriarty. He has been identified with the city's growth and prosperity for many years. In social, financial and fraternal circles he has made himself felt, and he will be on Aand at Hartford when Waterbury inter ests need him if the people of this city are wise. Ambrose Ii. Wells, MT Moriarty's running mate, is man who holds the respect of all classes. He is fearless and honest in the dis charge of his duties. One of the leading manufacturers of the city in small way, he has built up repu- tation for honesty and straightfor- wardness which any man might be proud of. A comparison of the tick cts placed in the field by the two parties shows that the democrats have all the better of the argument, for they give the voters a chance to send to Hartford two solid business men, who are identified with every thing that goes to improve the city and keep it in the foremost ranks as one of the most thriving and prosper ous places on the map. Messrs Mori- arty and Wells have done thetr share toward making Waterbury what 1t is and no mistake will be made if they are sent to Hartford to look after our interests in the legislature.

The old stock arguments are being used about Congressman Lilley. The one about free seeds is pretty far fetched when it is known how our own George enjoys and utilizes this great, to him. privilege. He is able to hold a few votes this way, perhaps one vote for every package of seeds. And then the argument is made that Mir Lilley is a Waterbury man. the second ever to have been hOnored with a seat in the national house
 This argument is about as weak as the free seed story. Waterbury feels honored. of course. to have a con- gressman right in it's midst all the time. but that our interests will be as we'll looked after by another goes without saying. Charles J.

He says that large Canadian firms are establishing ac' tive and reliable agencies there, that communication between the two countries has been shortened and i'm proved, and that another Canadian bank was opened for business in Trinidad last month. The imports from Canada during 1905, continues the consul, show an increase of s70,- 900 over 1904. the total from that country being $5s6.0S0.
