Congress.
cAsTRo's GOVERNMENT HAS NO

SIGNS" AGAINST WEAK REPUB.
Lies.
BY Associated Press.

New York, June 25.-The Tribune
to-day says:
Aivices from Caracas say that Ven
ezuala will not be represented at the
Pan-American congress at Rio. The
reason given, semi-Offic!ally, is that
Gen. CiprianO Castro. whose "resigna-
ton" of the presidency has not been
accepted, and who will return to office
on July 5, fears that the United
States seeks to use the congress for
the purpose Of gaining control over
the South American republics.
One of the Castro newspapers says:
Venezuela will not take part in
the Pan-American congress at Rio be-
cause there is no disposition on her
part to serve as the instrument OF
the United States in the latter's sin
lister designs against the weak re.
pUblics of South America"
The present attitude of the Vene-
zulan republic toward the Pan-Amar-
lean congress recalls the action Of
President Castro when the congress
convened at Mexico City a few years
ago. 1t was at the time that Colon
bia and Venezuela were involved in
controversies which threatened to
precipitate a war between the two
countries. General Raphael Reyes,
now president of Colombia, was one
of the delegates from his country to
the convention at Mexico City and
Venezuela was also represented. Con-
gress cabled to President Castro the
suggestion that these differences be
submitted to arbitration, Castro re-
piled:
=" Please don't NEEDLE in our af
fairs He also withdrew Venezuela's
delegates from the congress-
This action caused Dr.. Eduardo
BlancO minister of foreign affairs. to
resign. 1t is said that Venezuela's
real reason for not taking part at Rio
Is CaStTO's failure to have gratiied
his desire that the congress meet this
year at Caracas.

MADE HIM SETTLE.

The Clifton Copper Era says: A D. Edwards, formerly of the eiectri. cal department, was taught a lesson one day last week which he is apt to remember some time. He left town
 without settling with his creditors, and was stopped at Duncan, brought back and trimmed to a finish. It was particularly aggravating case, as he had bought many things which he die not need. and also told some of hii friends that he intended to show the Clifton merchants a new trick. The Becker-Franz company, to whom he owed a large bill, got pointer on his departure, and had him arrested at Duncan. He then wanted to settle, but Mir. Franz insisted on his return, and he was brought up under the charge of an officer, which he found expensive. After arriving in Clifton he found that it would be impossible to again suddenly tear himself away without settling all scores, which be proceeded to do. It took all of his available cash to liquidate, but he is much richer in experience. It is un- derstood that he has located in Fl Paso temporarily.

SECRETARY OF ARIZONA CATTLE GROWERS ASSOCIATION
 VISITS CLIFTON.

G. L. Coffee, secretary of the Ari- Zona Cattle Growers Association, was visitor in Clifton this week. He told the Copper Era of that city that the territorial association now has a mem bership of four hundred, and is grow ing rapidly.
 The association was formed little over two years ago, and is, therefore making a very satisfactory growth. The association has nothing in com mon with the sanitary association, and is composed entirely of breeders and growers of cattle. The object of the association is to further the cattle in dustry along all possible lines.
 There are now several important matters confronting the cattle grow CTS of the West, the most important of which are freight rates and the leasing of public lands. IL may not be known generally, even by cattlemen, that freight rates have gradually in creased for the past ten years, and un- less the stockmen get together and fight for their rights they will continue to increase. There is no reason to doubt that bill will soon pass Con gress providing for the leasing of all public domain, and it would be wise for those who are so deeply interested in the matter to adopt a concerted plan of action to protect their business. This can only be done through an or ganized effort on the part of those most deeply interested.
 For the past ten years or more the cattlemen have been working for the railroads, the beef trust and the com mission men, and they have been skinned to finish by all of them, and 1t now seems that the government will also relieve them of small portion of their cuticle. This is an age of or ganiZation. Almost all industries are organized for their own protection, so why should the cattlemen not do like wise? They want local legislation and can get it only by seeing that the industry in which he is interested is represented in the territorial legisla- ture, at least that an influence be brought to bear which will give him what he wants

COUNTY SEAT SCIENTIST DIS. COVERS STRAY ouAkE--No
 DAMAGE REPORTED.

The earthquake season seems to have arrived in this section of Ari- zona, two mild demonstrations hay ing been reported within the past for weight hours, the first one being re- ported by telephone from the Huachr- ca mountains yesterday morning, says the Prospector.
 The second of probable series of disturbances was noted last evening by Metallurgist l.. Hart, about g o'clock while he was seated in front fo his laboratory on Fremont street. Mir. Hart is an expert on seismic phe- nomena, having been close observer of these unwelcome disturbances for ten years, having had the black lus- ter of his hair succeeded by a snowy whiteness while maintaining his equi- librium on South American land, when the republics tottered from tremulous oscillation of meandering quakes.
 The one noticed last evening is no doubt of the tramp variety, mere "stringer," as it were, from some mother quake who has been hibernat- ing in the deep recesses of the Hua- chucas and, observing that spring has arrived, permitted a chip of the old block" to stray from of the route and enter territory that is immune from such unwholesome visitations. At least this is the opinion of our local board of scientists, who youch for the prediction that if no more vicious earthquake comes than the one Spok- en of last night, Tombstone will main tain its present reputation for time immemorial as the ideal place in which to reside.
