NOT coNTRABAND OF WAR.
Machinery on the Calchas When Seiz
ed by the Russians.

News has just reached Washington of the
release by the prize court of Vladivostok,
pursuant to the order of the supreme prize
court at st. Petersburg, of large amount
of valuable machinery belonging to Alfred
II. Post & Co. of New York. This ma
chinery was on board the Calchas at the
time of its seizure by Russian cruiser and
while the Calchas was on Its way to Jap
anese ports. The machinery of Post & Co..
although intended for Industrial pursuits,
was regarded by the prize court at vladi-
vostok as contraband of war. but, on APP
peal to ST. Petersburg, this decision was
reversed. Post & Co. were represented IN
this matter by Messrss Ralston & Siddons
of this city.
In the view taken by the court at St
Petersburg the principles with relation TO
contrabaDd contended for by the United
States on many occasions have virtually
been sustained, although the ST. Petersburg
court has failed in other cases. which may
be the subject of diplomatic consideration,
to follow the same principles.

Talk to the Missourians.

There has been good deal of talk in the
newspapers about the attempt of the Presi-
dent to "coerce" the Missouri delegation
The circumstances are these: BY reason OF
the political revolution In Missouri last year
nine Of the representatives from that state
are republicans and seven are new men.
The President called them to the White
House the other day. told them that he felt
great pride and interest in them, and want
ed them to stand with the administration.
He hoped that they would not be tempted
to join any movement against the regular
organization Of the republican party. and
urged them to vote for the Philippine tariff
and the joint statehood bills because both
were Endorsed by the administration and
the majority of their party in Congress
He reminded them that Missouri because
OF Its geographical situation, was particu-
larly interested In the joint statehood bill.
1t was his understanding that the people
OF Oklahoma, Indian Territory and New
Mexico favored its passage but that the
people OF Arizona were undoubtedly op-
posed to 1t. The genuine opposition was no
doubt, based upon what were considered
good reasons. but other influences were at
work, coming from the railroads, the great
mining syndfcates and other corporations
for which he did not have.so much respect
These corporations We're owned outside the
territory and were accused of being gov
erned by selfish interests 1t was a mat
ter of notoriety that they were opposed to
the admission of Arizona for fear their
taxes would be increased. He did not con-
slider that a proper motive, and further
more, II the bill was beaten, there would
undoubtedly be speculation and gossip In
the newspapers concerning the influences
which accomplished its defeat.
That was all he said on the subject. There
were no illusions to the use of money. but
he did say that the railroads and mining
companies had lobbyists here In Washing
ton working against the bill.
When delegation from Arizona called
the next day. he made similar remarks and
repeated what he had said to the Missouri
ans but did not threaten them or intimate
in any way that he believed money was
being used to defeat the bill.

although they worship their former COM
mander, and have frequently declared that
they We're willing to follow him to perdi-
tioii, they nave refused to support the Joint
statehood bill at his request. It was good
evidence that the President is sincere in his
admiration of their independence when he
promoted District Attorney F. s. Nave to
De associate justice and Judge Kent TO be
chief justice of the territory. l happen to
know that both Nave and Kent received
direct intimations that the President would
be glad to have them support the Joint
statehood bill, and that both of them re-
fused to do SO.

Line on Some Of the .AIdermanic
Changes That May Occur
The spring election occurs the first
Tuesday in April. T. j.. Buxton s sec
ond term Of two years as city treasurer
Is just expiring and there is more or
less talk of a new man. Much is said
of V. G. Hush. The first ward is
strongly democratic and B. F. Nelson,
the present incumbent, who has made
an excellent city servant, it is under
stood, Is willing and ready to serve
again. 80 -
In the second ward it lis more than
likely that T. F. Andrews, elected last
spring to fill the vacancy of A R.
Camp, will be returned, altho: the re-
ported offer of w. W. McNair to serve
without compensation, may change, the
aspect of affairs. In the third ward
Daniel Watt, " no has waited 50 long
for the city, steps down and out. E..
Tunstead, J: J. Getche1l are men
toned among the, republicans; Ed A.
Stevens and "Uncle Daniel among
the democrats, and G. w. Dawson and
w. S. Pattee as possible candidates.
Fourth Ward-W.s w. Woodward,
always alert and ready to stand guard
over the city's interests, will probably
decline to serve unless pressed. to the
wall by opposition in his own party.
C.zM: Hardenburg would make a most
acceptable alderman. So
Fifth iWard-It is understood there is
no opposition. to the recollection Of
Cyrus L. Snyder, president Of the coun-
Gil. In the sixth ward A. c. Haugan
will undoubtedly succeed himself.
