have not paid one cent of their San
Francisco losses, are hurrying to this
city as fast as steam can carry them.
They are the managers of the Pala-
tine, Commercial Union and Alliance.
They will arrive here next Friday aft
ernoon and enter into immediate con-
sultation with the officials of the Ger
man earthquake clause" companies.
They desire to be in court when the
case of P. F. Bergen against the Pala-
tine of London, suit which will de-
termine the position of the American
courts on the liability to pay policies
containing the earthquake clause, is
decided by Judge Morrow.
BIG LOSS OF BUSINESS.
The coming of these general man
\ ayers shows that the English compa-
nies are waking up to the fact that
| a denial of liability for San Francisco
losses because of the earthquake clause
/ in their policies will probably lose for
/ them their entire business in the
United States. These three general
managers left London last week in
great haste, after receiving reports
! from America of the disaffection on
the part of their policy-holders. 1t is
said that the cancellation of policies
! in the earthquake clause" companies
has already reacned Iar INTO the mil
lions.
The three general managers will
look over the ground carefully. With
the aid of the data collected by their
Pacific Coast agents, they will try TO
determine for themselves the exact
amount of earthquake damage in this
city.
1t is quite probable that in case
Judge Morrow upholds Bergens posi-
ton that the earthquake was cut off
from being a direct cause of the fire
which entered in the English mana
gers will offer settlement to the pol
/ icy-holders.
INTEND TO COMPROMISE.
Bergen claims that under the con-
ditions that prevailed in San Fran
cisco after the first fires were started
on April Is the earthquake clause in
the policies of the insurance compa
nies does not absolve them from liza
bility.
In insurance circles yesterday the
coming of the English managers was
taken to be a compromise step, pro-
yiding, Of course, Judge Morrow de-
cides in favor of Bergen's contention.
/ 1t is believed that in the event of
decision favorable to the policy holders
! in general the English companies will
offer a compromise. 1t is quite prob
able that the insured will accept the

HOW DEMOCRATS GET CAMPAIGN
 DOUGH.

As sample of the way the Dem ocratic candidates for office in Maricopa county have to pay for the privilege of going before the people for election, the Arizona Republican states that at meeting of the new Democratic County Central Committee in Phoenix, plan was devised to acquire fund, with which to carry on the campaign, whereby the Democratic candidates will become gamblers.
 They are required to make bet on the result of the election. Each one |. to bet 10 per cent of his first year Y salary of the office to which he aspires. II he gets elected he will get the rest of the salary for that year, and all of it for the next year. If he loses he litical experiences and the fun he has had.
 Ten per cent of the proceeds of n fee office is n rather uncertain sum, so the committee arranged oasis. Tho sher. iir's salary is on n basis of 5000 Hence he will have to pay the com. mittc 500, and in advance, for the privilege of running for office under their direction. The candidate for treasurer will pay $500, and candidates for probate judge. district attorney and county recorder will pay s20O each Supervisors will have to put up sl00 and the county school superintendent candidate $50. The candidates on the legislative ticket were assessed s2r each, except Eugene Brady O'Nciill who will he allowed to advance $l00.
 And with all that the candidates re- ccivcd no assurance that hcncefortl they were non-assessable.
 The candidates on the Democratic ticket in Yavapai county, will, no dout be allowed the same glorious privileg, accorded the Mariecpn county candi dates.

 at Christmas, last Saturday night t-as was discovered by n Telegram repre-. ! sentative just returned from there at which the matter was thoroughly dis cusscd and the resolution above stated agreed to. More than this, Thomas r. Wccdin. of the Florence Blade, who was called to attend the meeting, was authorized in lchalf of the residents of the two precincts, to take what steps might hc deemed necessary to separate these two precincts from Gila county, and tack them back onto pinal.
 The trouble originally dates back scv- cral months, to the time when n petition was presented to the supervisors of this county from residents of Christmas. asking the board to call local option election. The petition, not having fifty signatures, nothing was done by the hoard in the matter. But afterwards this defect was remcdicd, when a pcti- ton with the required number of names attached. was presented. Under the law, it then became mandatory upon the board to call the election. But nothing was done, the Christmas people allcge.
 Tho complaint of the people of Win klcman is even more serious. They de- mand the appointment of precinct of. flccrs, go they can get better police protection.
 In illustration. well known resident of Winkleman recitcd an instance that occurred on the 10th inst. A man, claim. ing to be deputy sheriff. who is a Mexican, had arrested another Mexican for disturbing the peace, and proceeded with him to the railroad, to lock him up in box car over night. On the way hc shot the prisoner. The officer claimed that tho man had tried to draw gun. No gun was found upon the man, later, and upon examination of the wound, which was in the lower ab. domcn, it was found badly powder burn cd, showing that tho pistol of the of fccr was almost against the dead man when it was discharged.
 Now. the officer may have been hon. est in his opinion that he was in danger when hc fired his gun, but nevertheless, the incident has created considerable adverse comment in that section. As the people there claim, it illustrates the need of a constable and n justice of the peace. who arc the choice of the people there.

D1srRANCHIsINo ANTI. .JoINTURE
 VOTERS.
(From Wednesdays Dsily.)

Because they are being disfrancbised by being denied the privilege of rcgst- cring, n large number of the citizens of Wcndondalc, Salomc and Ouartzitc, in the northwestern portion of Yuma coun- ty, have become so inccnsed at the ac. ton of those instrumental in bringing about the above state of affairs, that they threaten to take drastic measures unless their petitions are needed.
 Citizens of the above places have sent several petitions to the clerk of Yuma county, asking that registering officers be appointed for those towns, together with such other places as IIarqua Iiala. Williams Fork, where there are large number of men, all of whom are from forty Co sixty miles from Salomc, the only registering and voting precinct, except Quartzitc, in that end of the county. but so far their petitions have been ignored.
 C. B. Gcnung, n prominent mining man of Quartzit, who is familiar with the conditions existing there, in dis cussing the affair, said;
 "Thcrc seems to he clique in Yumn county, composed of the supervisors, the county clerk and recorder, all of whom are in favor of joint statehood, and they are doing all in their power 10 keep down the number of registrations in the Wendondalc, salome and Quartz itc country, as they well know that there are no joint statehood voters in that part of Yuma county.
 "A number of petitions have gone in to the county clerk asking that reg is'ration places be established access. iblc to those points, but the clique has ignored them, and has further stated that they will not allow any voting places at any of the above precincts Nearly all of the residents of the places mentioned. as well as those re- siding at IIarqua IIala, Brayton and nj the various camps on the Bill Williams Fork, are against joint statehood, and it looks as though n deliberate attempt to disfranchisc them was being made ny this precious clique"
 The anti.joint statehood committee has interested itself in the complaints of these anti. .jointurc residents. and if something cannot he done by pcrsuas. ion to secure fair treatment for them the committee will resort to legal meas urcs to secure registration and voting precincts for these men.

INSANE MAN SAYS POTATO CROP

 Mentally unbalanced over the hallu cination that hc had dug $50 pounds of potatoes from one hill, covering thrc, square feet, and laboring under the CT roneous impression that the broad cx pansc of country known as Loncsom, Valley, was blessed with m unprecc dented crop of the succulcnt tubcr Walter Scott, in charge of the prop crty of the Mcssicks estate, on lower Lynx Creek, yesterday hitched up his team and drove to this city to purchase large blow and more capacious wagon, with which to harvest the crop, which he considers, using his own Ian. guagc, ito be the largest and greatest that has ever blessed tho earth.'
 Arriving in this city, he unhitcheJ his team, and placing the horses in one of the local livery and feed stables, hurried to the court house in search of his friend, Charley Hicks, to inform him of his wonderful discovery. Reach. ing tho hall of justice, he was invited into the sheriff's office, by n friendly deputy sheriff, who invited him to rc. main there until the arrival of the Probate Judge. While seated there he graphically described the wonderful dis covery that he had made, telling of the immense potato crop that was ready to be harvested in Lonesome Valley, and stating that there was no necessity for anybody to work hard any longer as nature had provided that nobody born in this world should go hungry and that there was no necessity for anyone to minc for gold any longer, as all could get moro than enough to eat without TO. sorting to such hard and menial labor.
 From his conversation it was learned that he believed that he had been called upon to make tour of tho world to call tho attention of the starving m. tions of the cartL to Lonesome Valley, tho land of plenty.
