NEW MOVEMENT FOR
 MEXICAN LIBERTY
It Is Reported That Phoenix Is Har- boring Newborn Revolutionary Junta.

II has been discovered. unofficially though authoritatively. that a new ten tacle of the Mexican revolutionary oc- topus is sprouting in this city and seems to be growing quite rapidly. Its growth Is confined to the Mexican population and nourishment Is being hberally supplied through fear rather than sympathy. The identity of the fatherhOcd of the movement has not been learned, nor even the identity of it's promoters, the only information secured being a murmur by some who have been feeding their money to the monster under protest.
 This is the system and the alleged purpose as near as 1t could be learned The promoters. whoever they are. go round the city selecting such MeXicans as are believed 10 have a little money or an income by wages or otherwise and appeal to their love of liberty painting their native land as cursed by a despotic government. Then they re- cite how number of their fellow pa triots are in Jail over in Los Angeles for raising their voices against this so- called despOtic government. finally presenting a petition for their sigma ture and asking the subscription of whatever amounts they can afford. This money they say is to be spent partly for the defense of the martyrs in jail and partly in an effort to give Mexico a better president.
 As far as could be learned it is not indicated whether this is to|be by arm ed rebellion or by agitation. but it is not desired that either one shall later be able to trace its nativity to the capital of Arizona If the Mexican people want to rebel there is plenty of room for their operations below the line. If they merely want to agitate in legitimate way for the betterment of their country by an appeal to req son. there is still room enough in the southland.
 The serious feature of 1t, however, is that there is a suspicion on the part of some who have contributed that they have been gold -bricked in the name of liberty, as well as blackmail- ed, for they have little sympathy with the movement in the first place and in the second place are about convinced that the money collected will never get further than Phoenix.

 Assembly.

Manila, Dec. 1S.-The assembly has received a favorable report from the committee to which was referred a resolution asking congress to give the insular government power to make commercial treaties with other coun- tries in the event of failure of tar if reform.
 The Filipino attitude on free trade with the United States has undergone a complete change. Heretofore politi- clans and the press have regarded the tariff agitation as an effort to bind the Philippines closely to the main- land and it was opposed by the inde- pendent faction. Now all parties unite in demanding an abolition of the Ding ley rates.
