 urer of the United States at New
 York.
 The senate held a three hour ses- sion tonight. Three hundred private pension bills and half a hundred pr.. vate claims bills were passed. Other bills were passed. including acts au, thori&ing the incorporation of thl National German American Alliance; providing for the completion of a monument to the American soldier: who fell in the battle Of New Orleans; at Chalmette. La. and creating cus- toms district in Arizona
 President Roosevelt sent to the sen ate tonight the original copy of the new Santo Domingo treaty. ] WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Discuss- ing the agricultural appropriation bill in the senate today Aldrich said he had been informed that 1856 en,- ployes had been taken into the gove- ernment service by the Department of Agriculture since the present ses- sion of congress began.
 Senator Proctor admitted that very many employees had been admitted to the force of the department but stat ed that the additions were necessary to enforce the pure food and meat ii spection laws.
 Clark made a successful war on the senate amendment which he declared would permit the officials of the for estry bureau to travel from the north pole to Southern Cross at the expense of the government. In this connec- ton he gave instances where the chief forester had gone to the far West and ''roundeJ up" two conventions of cat tlemen with eighteen forest rangers. whose travelling expenses and hotel bills the government paid. He also charged them with attending political conventions and state legislatures, and with general activity of that cha-- acter at the governments expense.
 He asserted that while his confi- dence in the chief forester and his secretary of agriculture was unbound ed, he believed that under the terms of the amendment the two million dollars proposed to be appropriated for this bureau might be used to pay travelling expenses. The proposed amendment. which was voted out of the bill. authorized the forester to conduct investigations and experi- ments, in the city of Washington or elsewhere.

vARAEY AGREES 10
 MEET HUSKY MINER
0ge'S Challenge Is Accepted By Big Local Wrestler
 Arthur After Andersen.

Further interest in local sporting circles was developed yesterday when it was learned that big Sid Varney had accepted the challenge of Oier. although he refused the advances of Joy. the colored wrestler. as well as those of Anderson. ,t
 In refusing tine offer of Joy and Andersen. yarney stated that he drew the color line. and for that reason would not meet the former but that in regard to Andersen he would not meet him under any cir. cumstances on account of past per- formances.
 Varney then stated that he wculo accept the challenge of oier. the big husky miner. and all that would be necessary would be for ojer or his packer. Vertrees. to meet with him and arrange for the posting of a for. felt with the Review. Neither Ojers nor Vertrees could be found last eve ning but friends state that they will be found to mean business.
 After being again turned down by Varney. 1t seems no more than right that Andersen should meet Arthur the well-known Texas wrestler. who has been making all kinds of offers. Andersen stated that he did not care to meet Arthur on account of a broken rib. but how he ever expected to rect Vsrney in the same condi- tion is a mystery. Last evening Ar thur stated that he would wre.stle Andersen for the championship of Arizona before either the Eagles. the Eiks or any other organization which would care to take it up. He stated that he would agree to have half of the receipts go to the club under the auspices of which the match was held. and the other brlt to go to the school fund. his oIly desira being to meet Andersen
 It looks very much as If Andersen would have to furnish some good reason for refusing to meet Arthur or forfeit the titia to the little pro lessor

BRUTALMURDERS AND THEFTS BY
 YAQU|s
Two Mexicans Murdered and Bodies Rayished by Maraud- ing YaquiS Forty-Five Miles South of eananea.


 From most reliable sources comes st.e .aformaoion that not nifty niles south of Oananea tho 1aquis of So- nora are again on the war path and have stricken terror to the heart of the people of that section. Two brutal murders, followed by horrible mutila- ton of the lifeless forms, and ending with the confiscation of the herds of cattle by Yaquis of their victims, are the last depredations to be recorded from the Bacanuchi district, forty-five miles out of Cananea.
 C. N. White, of New York, repre- senting mining investors of that city. arrived in Bisbee last evening from Cananea and reports that on thorough ly reliable information he learned while in the Bacanucm district of the outrages briefly related above. Ac- cording to these reports, the details of the massacre of their two victims by the Yaquis were revclting in the ex- treme and unfit for publication.
 MT. White ayers that he Is exceed lngly thankful to have had-an oppor. nunity to get out of the country with his life, So terrified are the families on the Bacanuchi river that they are hurrying to ATiZpe where they may feel safe from expected further ray ages by the Indians.
 The two victims Of this last es- capade of the Yaquis were two pros porous Mexican cattle owners. Fol lowing their murder and the desecra- ton of their bodies, upwards of 1000 head of beef cattle were driven away by the bandits, whither no one knows, Owing to the scarcity of armed men along the Bacanuchi, the despoilers were given a free path. Their num- bers are not known exactly, but it is said that the band exceeds in size any that has heretofore appeared in that section.
 Mir. White spent the night in Bis bee. leaving for New York this morn inG.

 of Passenger Coach-Nar-
 row Escape For Mans Lifep
Especial to Reiew.J

NAco. Feb. 1s.--owing to the prompt action o2 Conductor V. ". Bennett. of the Cananea, Rio Yaaui and Pacific railroad. this afternoon a prospector. named A. M. Merritt was saved from being ground beseath the wheels of one of the passenger coaches as the train for the south pulled out of the local depot
 The travel was heavy yesterday af- ternoon and Bennett allowed plenty of time for every one to board the train. but 1t seems Merritt was de layed and started on a dead run just as the train was pulling out of the depot. As he turned the corner ha lost his footing and the momentum which he had acquired carried his body in the direction of the steps at the front of the last coach. He stag. gered against one of the lower steUs and rolled falling in such a way that his body would have undoubtedly struck the path of the front track, were it not for Bennett's quick action.
 The conductor had watched the man from the time that he came in view and was walking in the direction of the same steps to board the coach when he noticed Merritt swerve. He quicksned Bis gait and as the pros pector was falling grabbed him by the neck and left arm. jerking him from beneath the wheels.
 The narrowness of the escape car be appreciated when t is knowI that the sole of one of Merrrtt shoes was torn completely off. b.eint caught beneath the wheel. iuss a: Bennett pulled him.
 The train was stopped and on hi: second attempt to board it Merritt was successful.

 Among the business men there are all kinds of rJImors going the rounds. One that was worked overtime yes terday was to the effect that the Amalgamated Copper Company had purchased the holdings of the Copper Queen Company in this district, Who ever started that rumor fixed the pur- chase price at $16S,000,000. Another street rumor was to the effect that Mother" Jones would be here today or tomorrow to address the working men. All efforts of the Review re- porter to confirm these rumors were futile.
 On yesterday several small mer- chants, especially dealers in groceries. instructed their solicitors to inform their customers that unless all bills due February 12th were paid on or before February goth, all goods would be delivered c. O. D. The reason as- signed bv the grocerymen for this move was the unsettled condition in Bisbee at the present, and the de- mands being made upon the small re- tail dealers by wholesale dealers for prompt settlement of tseir accounts.
 Just what the end Of the present week will bring forth can not be pre- dicted. Business men along Main street and Brewery avenue are al- ready beginning to feel the effects of the discharge Of large number of men and the general unsettled condi- tion at present prevailing in Bisbee has been felt in all of the surrounding towns.

Mining Companies Continue To Discharge Men In Small Numbers-0rganizers Want. To Rent a Hall.
Silly Rumor Circulated That the Copper Queen Had Sold to AmaIgamated--SmalI Deal- CTS Cutting Off Credit.

The local situation. with reference to the employment or discharge of miners in the Warren district, has practically been unchanged since Mon day. Commencing with fhe laying off of eight hundred men just one week ago, there have been small quotas of men discharged from time 70 time. One day last week the number totaled two hundred and fifty. and on Sunday probably one hundred men were dis charged at the L. s. & P. Cole shaft and at the Denn-Arizona.
 While 1t is true to a certain extent that there is shortage of supplies at some of the properties and the Spray shaft Is badly in need Of repairs, it is the general accepted theory now among the worlSingnlen and the busi- ness men of the city. that the advent of the organizers of the Western Fed eration Of Miners into the district has also been factor in the decision of the companies to meet this new con dition by reduction in the working force. and during the past few days, according to runIor. the men dis charged are said to have been active III bAS cause Ol tue W 0SNern Fe1era- tion.
 On yesterday it was stated that the Western Federation organizers were arranging for public meeting. Joseph D. Cannon was about town en- deayoring to secure hall for this pur- pose, and 1t is understood that the purpose of the meeting was the cleo tion of local officers and the perfec- ton of the organization. So far as known the meeting has not been held. but it is reported that such meeting will be held before the week is out.
 It was also reported last night that Organizer Rawling would address the workingmen of Bisbee in an open air meeting to be held this evening.
 It is evident that the mining com panies are working out some policy which they have adoDtsd to offset the work being done by the Western Fed eration. Just what this policy is no- body knows. but the daily discharge of men at the various shafts is no doubt a part of the program.
 The organizers have made no state ments since they opened their offices in the Shattuck building, ten days ago. P. c .Rawiing was seen yesterday by a Review man and asked if the report was true that the union men proposed to go out on strike If certain demands
