The Blsbee Miners and the Federation.

By a vote of 2,288 to 428 the miners of Bisbee declared against organizing a local union of the Western Federation of Miners in that camp. The election was in response to the efforts of an oth- cial organizer of the Federation, who had been in the district for two months encouraging the union movement. The ballot was talked under the Australian system, and with all the formality of legal election, the saloons voluntarily closing their doors for the day. As the men in this district work the same hours and receive the same wages which prevail in the camps where the Federation has control, these factors did not enter into consideration, and as the ballot was secret it must be accepted as an honest expression of the senti- ment of the Bisbee miners toward the Western Federation. They want none of it. This is more strongly accentuated by the fact that a majority of the men who voted on the proposition come from the camps of Colorado, Idaho and Montana, had been members of the miners union there, and were acquitted with it's methods and its officers.

Saturday was day of rejoicing all over the territory. In Phoenix, Tucson and others of the larger towns business was almost sus- pended, and everybody turned out to celebrate the joyful news that Arizona would be left free to work out her own destiny, untrammeled bv an alliance which was distaste- ful to her and subversive of her best interests.

Swift Boat Building,

Only journalism would cause high-speed motor boat to be con structed in six days, and this rec ord-breaking performance has been accomplished by the Parisian Jour- nal, Le Matin. Owing to the meagerness of the Spanish tele- graphic communication from Alge- ciras, where the Moroccan con ference is being held, it was de- sired to send messages via Gibral- tar, from which town there are four wires to London, then by spe- cial wire to Paris. Unfortunately there are six miles of water be- tween Algeciras and Gibraltar. The manager of the journal sent for the representative of the Mercedes au- tomobile firm and told him to go ahead on the construction of a motor boat to be ready to take the water before the opening of the conference, six days off. There was a characteristic shrug of the shoulders, which meant impossi- ble." The same evening, however, an engineer set off for the Merce- des factory in Germany in search of a powerful motor, and at the same time an order was placed with Paris firm for the construc- ton of hull. Before the end of the week forty horsepower mo- tor had been found, hull con- structed, trial trips run on the Seine and the craft sent by rail to Marseilles, where 1t was shipped immediately for Gibraltar and put into commission the following day

 The people of Arizona will al ways gratefully remember those who fought her cause so gallantly and with such signal success, and foremost of them all the wise and able leader of the hosts, the ven- erable and venerated Senator For aker of Ohio.

He wrote that he hadn' t the ability or the experience to command such a salary" He was told that his name was worth it.. What influence l have with the southern people is not for sale, " said Lee.

The socialists, or at least their professed leaders, are waving the red flag of anarchy with a viru- lence and vigor never before equaled in this country. If these people would expend as much en- ergy in an effort to make an honest living as they are now doing in promoting their doctrine of hate and murder, themselves would be the greatest gathers by the change. But this they will never be brought to see by any method of reasoning other than that of force.

CONTRACTOR WANTED
TOO MUCH MONEY
REASON GIVEN BY SLATTERY
FOR HOLDING UP THE $4,000
FOR HARBOR IMPROVEMENT

The report that the $4,000 to be used
for the completion of the work in the
harbOr could not be used is according
to Captain j, r. Slattery, the govern
ment engineer in charge of the work
here false. That money can be used
when ever it is thought necessary but
is held up on account of there not be-
ing a contractor here to do the work
at what is considered a reasonable price
by the captain.
The money is the remainder of the
large sum appropriated for the i'm
provement of the harbor here and it
would have been expended before had
the contractor who was here before
agreed to have done the work at a
reasonable price. However he asked
too much and so he was not given the
work. Only a small portion of the
money is to be used in filling in the
Naval Station grounds, as these will
depend upon other money for that
purpose.
Captain Slattery stated this morning
that it is not at all likely that the
money will be spent in the near future
but at some remote time when there is
more money appropriated and a larger
work undertaken.

CHAMBER TURNS
BAND MATTER DOWN
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. WILL
BAND MATTER FURTHER.

The Trustees of the Chamber Of
Commerce yesterday afternoon voted,
upon motion Of +. l. Spaldng, to have
nothing further to do i'm regard to the
bringing home Of the band. The deci-
sion was unanimous, all Of them voting
but one The reason given was be-
cause that body, or members Of It,
thought that the hui which sent the
band away should take steps i'm the
matter, and that though the matter was
of public interest it was not specially
within the purview of the purpose of
the chamber.
J. r. Gait objected to the motion
as he thought that the band matter
was one which should have the serious
consideration of that body, for it was
of interest to the community. He was
overruled, however, and the motion
passed. The movement for bringing
home the band is now without head

DECISION ON REGIsTRATIoN.

The Supreme Court yesterday
handed down a decision i'm the matter
of the mandamus proceedings brought
by Albert Trask against Registrar
Merriam to compel him to register a
deed where the consideration was $25.
The registrar had refused to register
the deed on the ground that he believ-
ed that the consideration named. $25
was not the real consideration. The
Supreme Court held that the mere sus-
picion of such condition on the part of
the registrar afforded no justification
for refusing to record the deed.

THE BULLETIN OF THE LEAGUE
OF AMERICAN MUNICIPALITIES.
The Bulletin of the League of Ameri-
can Municipalities says, "The fact is
that in every city where there are two
telephone companies in operation, the
business and professional men find 1t
necessary to have the service of both
companies and where Bell rates are
not reduced by the competition these
subscribers have forced upon them an
additional expense for telephone SER
vice"
| The Hon. Roger Wolcott, when Gov
ernor of Massachusetts, vetoed a bill
/ for a competing pipe line and in his
| veto message he said regarding the
usefulness of a competition between
public utilities. Experience mas dem
onstrated that unrestricted competition
/ by public service corporations, al
though the temporary results may ~
! to make cheaper prices to the public,
| seldom accomplish any permanent
good. The public must eventually pay
the bills. I cannot see how any per-
manent advantage to the community
in arming the company with a club by
which they might strike down those
already in the field Temporarily it
must cheaper prices or the result Of
such competition demonstrates that
| eventually it Is the public which suf-
fers."

GENERAL RESULTS OF TELE-
PHONE COMPETITION.
Competition in telephone service is
not a public benefit and not a useful
means of regulating telephone charges.
No benefit accrues to any part Of the
public in the way of reducing rates.
Many consumers are compelled to in
crease their aggregate outlay. The
utility of the service is cut in half, eX-
pansion made difficult, the efficiency
of the service threatened and the cap
ital invested endangered Streets, al
leys houses and public buildings dis
figured by equipment, generally con-
hagration encouraged, as wires and
equipment are generally in the way of
the fire department. Competition i'm
telephone service does not offer a
choice of benefits but compels a choice
of evils-either a half service or a
double price.
So great an inconvenience should not
be imposed unless large compensatine
| advantages are to be gained. Persona
inquiry made in various cities show
| that the use of two telephone systems
is very general among retail stores
such as druggists, grocer~, butchers

Gus burden, as the annual charge Is

WILL Be NO WAR WITH CHINA
MAI. GEN. CoRBIN TALKS ON
THE SITUATION.
The Rcported Disturbances Have
Been Greatly ENHgEcrated-Mts-
Sionnries Cause Trouble.

San Francisco There certainly
will be no war between the United
States and China, said Maj .-Gen. Hen
ry c. Corbin, upon his arrival from
the orient on The steamer Korea. so
far as | have been able to observe, the
reported disturbances in China have
been grossly exaggerated, and condi-
tions are not nearly 50 alarming as one
would be led to suppose from reports
that have been published throughout
the western world.
THAT there have been disturbances
is quite true, but | do not think they
menace the peace of China and tn"
United States or any other nation.
"The feeling against the Americans
in China does not exceed that enter
tanned toward all other foreigners and
as | understand the situation the entire
anti-forcign feeling is due in a large
measure TO the exploitation Of business
enterprises which the Chinese feel
should be controlled by their own peo-
pie. There IS feeling against those
who have in various ways obtained
through scheming and corrupt officials,
franchises and concessions.
aside from this chief source Of an
ti-foreign feeling, the troubles in China
are due to the presence of mission
aries. | was assured by a very prom
inent Chinese that the Chinese people
do not at all like the presence Of for
eign missionaries. They resent the eff
forts Of the missionaries to force a lot
Of new creeds on their people.

BILL FOR ONE NEW STATE
The senate Strikes Ont All the Pro-
visions Relating to Arizona
and New Mexico.

Washington, D. Con Friday
5:35 p. m. the senate passed a bill for
the admission Of a new state to be
called Oklahoma ard to be composed
of the territory Of Oklahoma and In
dian territory. It was the house joint
statehood bill with all the provisions
relating to Arizona and New Mexico
stricken out. The motion to striks out
was made by Mr. Burrows, and # was
carried by the close vote Of 81 to 80,
after having been lost by the still
closer vote of 35 to SO.
The vote on statehood came as the
climax of a day devoted exclusively to
that bill. Most of the time was given
TO discussion, but the voting on the bill
and amendments consumed an hour
and a half. The speech making excited
comparatively little interest, but there
was pronounced excitement throughout
the voting period, and it eliminated
when the success of the motion to
eliminate Arizona and New Mexico
was announced after the second vote
on that proposition.
The test vote upon which the op-
ponents of joint statehood showed their
greatest strength was on the For
aker amendment which provided
that Arizona and New Mexico
should have an opportunity TO vote
separately ou the proposition Of joint
statehood. This was carried by a vote
of ~ to 30.

THE sTEUNENBERo MURDER
Meyer, Haywood, Pettibone and Jack
SimpIxins Formally Indicted
at Caldwell, Idaho.

Boise Idaho.-Grand jury indictments
we're formally returned, Friday at
Caldwell, against the alleged murderers
of ex-Gov. Frank Steunenberg.
Meyer. Haywood, Pettibone and Jack
Simpkins are indicted jointly, being
charged with having murdered Frank
Steunenberg. There is in the indict-
ment no mention Of the Western Fed
GRAFTON of Miners nor any charge of
conspiracy. So far as the Indictment
shows, each is accused Of having per-
sonally participated in the crime
charged
The Indictment contains three counts,
all of similar nature The gist of the
charges is that the accused men placed
deadly box or bomb, filled with giant
powder caps, sulphuric acid and other
explosives at the gate in front Of Frank
Steunenberg's residence with the inten-
tiCn of killing him. One count charges
the actual numbering Of Steunenberg by
causing the bomb to explode as Steun-
enberg was entering his yard
The names Of 20 witnesses, including
Harry Orchard, who has confessed to
his part in the crime, are indorsed on
the indictment.

AN ADDITIONAL DISASTER
A Rescue Party of Seventeen Men
Lose Their Lives In the Cour-
ricrcs COIliery.

Paris.-An additional and awful dis
aster following, Monday, upon the ter.
hible calamity that befell the workers
in the coal mine at Courrieres on Sat
urday, has cast its shadow over the
stricken town. A party, said to consist
of II men, who went into the mine for
the purpose of recovering the bodies
Of those who perished on Saturday, lost
their lives in the undertaking. They
had descended in spite Of the recognized
danger of the attempt, and in the face
of the engineers warnings against
making a further effort.
Late in the day after several hours
of ventilation of pit No, 2, party of
Westphalian rescuers, sent at the re-
quest Of Emperor William, were au-
thorized TO descend. They succeeded in
penetrating a long distance and recoy-
cred 200 bodies, which they brought up,

THE FRENCH MINE HORROR
The Number of Deaths is Now Placed
at 1900 to 1,3OO--A Scientific
Mine Theory Exploded.

Paris.-The most reliable reports
from Courrieres as to the approximate
number of casualties in the great mine
disaster there Saturday give the figures
at between 1,200 and 1900. 1t is prob
able that the exact number Of those
who lost their lives will never be
known, owing to the fact that many
bodies probably were destroyed by the
fire which RACED through the mines.
The three shafts are guarded by mil
itary, and the rescue is being continued.
There is little hope, however.
NJ. DeHaynite, millionaire coal mer-
chant and leading authority in France
on the subject Of mine construction, in
an interview on the disaster, said:
The catastrophe marks the collapse
Of the scientific mining theory alleg-
ing that protection is furnished by
joining the galleries to allow means of
escape. With the old system Of single
or double galleries disasters are limited
to 200 or 300 casualties at the most"
The chamber of deputies unanimous
ly voted 100000 for the relief of the
victims of the risaster and the Min
ers association appropriated $4,000 for
the same purpose.

BROKEN EGGS STILL EGGS.
Appraiser Holds That They Must Be
Levied Upon Though Sold to
Consumer by the Gallon.

New York General Appraiser
Waite, for the board OF general APP
praisers, has just handed down a de-
cision oyerruling the protest Of l.. e.
Spencer against the assessment Of
duty by the collector at Detroit at five
cents a dozen upon an importation OF
eggs from which the shells had been
removed. The decision says
1T seems that in handling eggs for
expectation from Canada many Of
them are cracked or broken. Frcm
these shells they are removed, and
are imported into the United States
and sold by the gallon, and are used
the same way as any eggs would be
used, by bakers and confectioners.
NO change whatever is made IN
the condition of the eggs except that
the shell is removed. We think egg>
would remain eggs whether sold by
the bushel, gallon, or by the dozen.
Hence our conclusion is that the as
sessment by the collector was right"
