The 5th cavalry troop, 25O strong, passed through Tombstone last week on its way to Fort Huachuca on a practice march from Fort Apache. Captain Jenkins was in command, with Lieutenant Phil Sheridan ac- companying. The distance between the two posts is about 800 miles. The men and horses were in excellent condition. No accidents have oc- cured and but one horse has been lost, which was hurt and had to be shot. With the troop were four men, charged with desertion, who were de- hvered at Globe by Captain Wheeler of the rangers. Two others were supposed to have deserted the troop at Tombstone, as they could not be found. A team and buggy are also missing. The officers of the troop were unable to find any trace of the missing men, and the rangers will probably be put on thelr trail.

A representative of the Inter- national-American had another op- portunity to meet the visiting sena- tors last week. It could hardly be called an interview but was more of social call. He found both sena- tors as genial and approaching gen tlemen as one can meet. In the course of d general conversation matters turned to the statehood question, in which was talked over the eastern point of view and Objec- tion of the states east of the Missis- sippi to the admission of other states with population which seems to them ininitesimal compared to their own, and here, state the senators, lies the the main objection to the admission of Arizona-quantity of population. | The senators seem to think that Ari- zona's campaign on quality of popu- | latiOn is working well; they recognize the difference between here and New Mexico so far as foreign elements are concerned, but the main point that in their estimation would hold Arizona back is quantity, notwith- standing resources and quality. Both senate were most anxious for all in- l forma tion about Arizona's conditions i obtainabe and both believe the ter ritory will soon be admitted hut doubt ] the possibility of the immediate re- moval of eastern objection on the population score.-American.
 Formerly a respectable married woman of Bisbee, an inmate of one of the houses of the Tenderloin dis trict in Tombstone, known as Milred Mayfield, died last week-it is sus- pected from an overdose of chloral. Although physician had been sent for he did not arrive at the house un- til the woman was dead. The woman was at one time the wife of a miner | in Bisbee, but went the downward ward path, and finally went to Tomb stone, where she has resided for a long time past. IL is current rumor that she was the one who supplied the money for the defense of Will liam Williams, who was tried last term of court for robbery, and will
 be tried again this term as in the first trial the jury disagreed. It is
 believed that the deceased was a
 chlOral fiend and during the last
 week had been very ill.-Review.
