The Arizona & New Mexico suffered
from a fire Monday evening. The
alarm was given about GAO p. M, by
the usual blowing of whistles, and the
roof of the ro%undhouse was found to
be on fire. blazing high. Nothing
could be done to stop the fire, and it
burned out. In less than fifteen min
utes it had burned to the ground. The
are extended to the water tank, which
was also destroyed. There was a pas
senger coach stored in the roundhouse,
aud it was destroyed. A a of mer-
chandise, being shipped from Clifton
to Globe, aud an empty box car we're
also burned. Luckily the fire was con-
fined to these buildings. and the depot
was not burned. The loss is probably
5000 with nc insurance. The origin
of the Ere is a mystery, as there was
no fire in the building, and it had
been more than two hours since an
engine had passed, when one Of the
company's coal burners engines had
been in the yard. A couple of years
ago the Arizona copper company, which
owns the Arizona g. New Mexico rail-
road, concluded to carry its W in
surance, as its property was so widely
distributed, and since then has had
two serious dres, a burned bridge, aud
this fire.

flying q Union.

washington. Nov. s. - President
Roosevelt has directed that a reprt-
mand be administered to Willis u
Moore, chief OF the weather bureau,
for his action In the case of printer
named Cooper in his office who had
been expelled from the typographical
union for not paying his strike assess
ments. Mr.. Moore, 1t is alleged, urg-
ed Cooper on two occasions to pay his
assessments, but the latter refused
and he was expelled from the union.
Following this Cooper was transferred
to New Orleans and he claimed
that this action on the part Of Mr..
Moore was intended as punishment
for him for not complying with the
demands Of the Typographical Union.
The matter was referred to the civil
service commission which expressed
the opinion that Cooper's transfer
would not be for the good of the SER
vice az this would give the impress
sion that 1t was intended as punish
ment.
Cooper, accordingly, will be rein
stated in his former position in the
Weather Bureau in Washington and
the reprimand to Mr.. Moore will, at
the direction Of the President, be ad-
uinistered by the secretary Of agri:

ing Apprehension.

Havana, Nov. 14.-Certain members
of the Agrarian league, which is
composed Of prominent planters, &C
companied by a. number Of steamship
agents, held conference with Gov
ernor Magoon Tuesday on the ques'

suffering severely by the competition
of ether nations seeking immigra'
ton, especially the republics Of South
America and the United States and
the importation Of labor to Panama.
The next sugar crop promises to be
very large, and the planters express
ed grave fears that the present labor
supply would be insufficient to han
die 1t. Governor Magoon arranged to
hold further conferences with the
committees.

THANKS FOR KANSAS.
Gov. HOch Issues HIS Proclamarion
Calling ON People to Observe
Thanksgiving Day.

Topeka, Kan, Nov. 14.-Gov. Hoch
has issued the following Thanksgiv-
Ing day proclamation:
Belief in an overruling provR
dence in the affairs of men has char
Ncterized civilized peoples In all ages.
From the day the Pilgrim fathers
landed at Plymouth Rock down to
the present time it has characterized
the people Of this country. The Gus
tom, long established, of devoting
one day to recognition of this great
faith and fact is beautiful and ap-
propriate one and should constantly
grow in public favor. He reads
American history with imperfect
vision who does not see on every
page of it the impress of an Almighty
hand. Let us believe that when Col
umbus first stepped upon this CONT
nent and kneeling in the sand conss.
Grated it to God and humanity his act
had In 1t both Providence and pre-
phecy, and let us believe that the
principles of civil and religious lib.
erty represented by our civilization
and symbolized by our flag will ulti-
mately girdle and glorify this globe.
For the wonderful achievements il
our history and for the marvellous
prosperity which has been vouch.
Safed to US in nation and In stats
let us humbly render thanks to the
Giver Of all good.
I'm full sympathy with these sem
timents, In harmony with this faith,
and in accordance with the time
honored custom, reaffirmed by recent
from the president Of
the United States, l., b. W. Hoch,
governor Of the state Of Kansas, do
hereby designate Thursday, the 29th
day Of November, 1906, AZ day Of
Thanksgiving and trust that the PEG.
pie Of Kansas will in public places
Of worship and in private devotions
make fitting acknowledgment to Al
mighty God for all His blessings to
us as a people,"

New York, Nov. 14.-There no lon
ger appears to be any danger Of a
strike Of railroad employees in the
East, as the situation with reference
to the demand Of the members OF
certain organizations was consider
ably cleared Tuesday. The New

an agreement with committees repre-
senting the firemen of the two roads
affecting the status Of the men on the

Tuesday 1t had come to an agreement
with the officials Of that system. The
firemen's committee will confer fur
ther with the New York Central ana
the New York, New Haven G Hart
ford officials concerning the questions
of Increased wages and shorter hours.
1t was stated at the offices of the
Erie system late Tuesday that there
will be no trouble in reaching agree
ment with the firemen at the proper
time ss President Underwood's letter
to Chief Hanrahan was not a refusal
to grant concessions to the dissatis-
fled men, but simply a request to
hold off until settlements could be
made with yardnien, switchmen,
brakemen an other employees of the
company. 1t was said that when these
adjustments shall have been made, the
demands of the firemen will be taken
up and those considered reasonable
be granted.
