Arizona Assayers
 To Be SuppIanted

The government will shortly make a radical departure in the matter of asssying imported ores to ascertain the duty to be charged. At present, assayers are maintained at all ports Q entry where ores are eimported in qua - titles to warrant, but, according to the new departure, all such positions are to be abolish,d d and a general assay office established in Chicago, where all samples will be sent for assaying.
 At present the samples are taken st the border, or, as in the instance Of the Fl Paso smelter, at the nearest smelter. and assayed on the spot, but in future, or as soon as the new gov ernment assay office is completed in Chicago, the sampler will be sent ther for analysis.
 The samples will remain on duty the border as at present, but the posi- tion of asssyer will be abolished.

ARIZONA DEMOCRATS
 VOICE PUBLIC SENTIMENT

The Territorial Democratic l Convention that convened in Bisbee today voiced the senti ment of Ariz ma Democracy; in a way it subscribed to the desires of the rank and file of Arizona R 'publicanism, when It named as our Dext Delegate to Congress Hon. Marcus A. Smith.
 His re-nomination for the honor not yet vacated is a substantiating evidence that Arlzonans are capable of talk ing care of their own. They have reposed confidence in MT. Smith during the past and he has met every requirement imposed upon him. His able and successful fight against jointure with New Mexico has won for him the admiration of not only those directly con concerned, but lauda ion of a public who admire brilliancy a,d steadfastness to pr,n- ciple.

Arizona students will suffer in pock-
 ct on account of the new railway rate
 law. Notice is served by the railroad companies of Arizona that the stu dent rate formerly in force for those
 10 attended tn Arizona University at Tucson, the Southern Arizona Nor nal at Tempe, and the Northern Ari- zona Normal at Flagstaff, are with drawn.
 It is also learned that the rate law affects Indian school teachers and pu- pills. Heretofore there has been a specisl rate for them, but they will in future be required to pay the regular fare
 While the law does not deprive min- isters of their one-fsre rate, it pre- ciudes any possibility of any one not entitled to such transportation from securing it. A minister must be in possession of permit from the Trans Continental Clergy Bureau at, hicaeo before he IS entitled to pass. These permits are issued annually and no person without one may travel on A half-fare ticket. Thi. applies to nuns and all religious workers, and the law excludes the families of ministers who must pay full fare,

 A Nogales dispatch to the Tucson Citizen says:-
 Because of the threatening attitude assumed by the Mexican peon miners } both sides of he border, urged on oy agitators of the so-called Mexican Revolutionary Junta, the Arizona au- horities have been obliged to take ticeable precautions for the preven- ticn of trouble. Report that an at- tempt was to be made on Monday night to storm the jail at Nogales, Arlz., and rescue the agitators Hum bert, Treviuo and Villaria, confined there, caused the swearing in of 6f- teen special deputies to guard the jail and the hurried bringing here Of Rangers Epperson, of Gila Bend, Jeff Krider, of Quitovaquits, and J'm Mo iee, of Silver Bell. Lieutenant Harry Wheeler and Ranger Wheeler are at Douglas. In addition to these pre- cautions by the Arizona authorities, he Mexican government ordered six y cavalrymen from Cananea to No. gales, Mexico, and they arrived last. One of the cavslrymen died during he forced march of seventy-fve miles.
 Very littleexcitement prevails either here or in Nogales, exico The citi- zens are perfectly confident that the ,uthorities are fully able to cope with he situation. As a further precau ton, owever, the agi ator prisoners were today sent to Tucson for safe keeping and probable trial. It is be- i,eved that their removal will be uuisting effect on the situation.
 The conditions in this vicinity are 'pmewhat similar to those which pre- vailed in Cansnea, Mexico, prior to he riots there last June In the uise of lsborers, a number of an lchistic agitators have been preach Ing the gospel of discontent among the peon mine workers for some months, They have dinned in the i miners ear that "Gringo' workmen vere getting better pay than the fexicsns and that this was due Co he Diaz government favo ing foreigners They have painted rosy dreams of conditions in what they term a Mexico for Mexicaus," and nave distributed quantities of an- Irchistic literature.

THE BIG-SHIP MANIA

With the sea trials of the huge
Dreadnought exceeding expectations
and three new fighting monsters
contracted for, the big battleship
theory has become formidable con-
dition in England. The example of
increased naval armament is there for
other nations to accept or confess their
limitations. The fact that our bureau
of naval construction is working on
plans for 10000 ton battleship to
match the Dreadnought and the an
nouncement that American battleships
may be built to equal the new English
craft in fighting efficiency show the
drift toward naval "Jumbomania"
here.
Where is the end to be if each new
battleship is constructed with view
single to is superiority over its prede-
cessors? The 2l-knot Dreadnought, a
floating fortress with the speed of a
cruiser, dooms scores of battleships of
an old pattern to the scrap heap, as
our own 19-knot Virginia and Rhod
Island, together with the new Con-
necticut, havl ahade our best ships of
the Spanish war obsolete. New York
