Washington, Dec.-"Nearly a year
has passed since the election which
defeated the proposition of Joint state
hood and l deem it my duty to re-
port the fact that public sentiment
in Arizona is now even stronger
against joint statehood with New Mex
leo than it was last year, says Gov
Bos. H. Kibbey of Arizona territory in
his annual report to the secretary of
the interior, made public Sunday. The
report that the last year was I'M
doubtedly the most prosperous the ter
ritory has ever known. The popula-
ton is given as approximately 1S5, 900.

tortal treasury amounted to $500 .015 .65
against $279,197.60 for the previou
year. Total receipts for the year were
$6S7,386.7S; total disbursements. $601.-
50S.73. The debts of the territory re-
main unchanged in the sum of So
l23,275.29. The aggregate value Of

silver 2,704,044 ounces. Of the closing
of gambling in the territory April /.
Gov. Kibby says: The abolition of
gambling was in response to pronounc-
ed public sentiment, and l regard the
fact as most creditable to our people
that not only was the law instantly
obeyed by the gamblers themselves,
but that there has been no attempt
anywhere to evade the law"

Many Buried Alive.

Mononghela, Pa, Dec,-Between so
and 60 miners are entombed in the
Naomi mine of the United Mines Coal
Company at Fayette City, as the re
suit of an explosion of black damp at
8 o'clock Sunday night. 1t is thought
many are dead behind tons Of rock and
coal, which fell during the conclusion
and blocked the entrance. The eXplo-
sion was caused, it is said, when a
miner with an open lamp, entered one
of the old workings. Medical aid has
been sent from Mononghela and sur
rounding towns. Details are meagre,
owing to defective telephone service.

VOYAGE OF $4,000 MILES
Flotilla of Torpedo Boat Destroycra
Sails on Their Trip to Far East

Norfolk, Va, Dec.-The second TO-
tilla of United States torpedo boat
destroyers which is to precede the pow
erful battleship squadron soon to sail
for the Pacific under the command
of Rear Admiral r. D. Evans. began
its long voyage of $4,000 miles at 2:40
o'clock Sunday afternoon The six
little vessels composing the flotiIla
sailed from the Norfolk navy ward for
Hampton Roads, where the remainder
OF the day was spent in compass adj
justment work.
Weather permitting, Lieutenant
hutchinson |. Cone, the fotilla conn
mander, will from the flagship Whip
pie give the signal for the start. and
after other compass work that may
become necessary has been completed
in lower Chesapeake bay, the fotilIa
VIII pass out of the Virginia capes,
headed for San Juan, Porto Rico,
where the first stop will be made.
Owing to unavoidable delay in get
ting her ready the big supply and re-
frlgerator ship Arethusa, which is to
convoy the fiotilla to the Pacific, will
not sail until December 8. The Are
thusa will join the f1otilla at Trinidad
between December Is and %. From
Trinidad the Arethusa will accompany
the f1otilla on the voyage until San

The Arethusa will be the paymaster's
ship and carry all the money.
The fiotilla will be met by the Evans
battleship squadron at Rio de Jan
Giro, Brazil, between January Is and

time that the battleships and torpedo
destroyers will meet during the voy-
age.

MEAN FILINGS AT EDITORS.
Tributes by Lafcadio Hearn to Class
of Workers He Disliked.

"Lafcadio Hearn, that wonderful
youth, said publisher, land the
ruthless way his studies were changed
cut and butchered was a great woe
to his heart.
"In after years Hearn took a mali
cious joy in collecting stories about
editors-editors and their superior
and omniscient way with manuscript.
Zone of his stories was of an editor
to whom a subscriber said;
az enjoyed that poem on the three
ages of man in to-day's paper, Mr..
Sheers; / enjoyed it immensely. Do
you know, though, l thought it was
originally written the seven ages of
MANI
$50 it was, sir; so it was, said
Editor Sheers, pompously. Yes, the
extract was originally written the
seven ages of man, but I had to cut it
down for the lack of space
Another story concerned a weather
report. A reporter discussing the
weather, wrote that winter still lin
gered in the lap of spring.
The editor, as he read over the
article, called the reporter to his desk
and told him that he would cut out
that sentence about winter lingering
in springs lap. He said the idea was
good enough, and all that sort of
thing, but it would not do to publish
because the high moral tone of the
paper had to be maintained in town

PICKED TEAM TO
PLAY The SAINTS
PLAYERS WHO WON LEAGUE
CHAMPIONSHIP WILL HAVE
HARD TUSSLE.

Tomorrow afternoon at the ball
grounds the Saints and the Picked
team will start their new series for
the championship of the islands. Both
of the teams have won a game, and the
result of tomorrows' game is being
looked forward to very much by all the
fans in town. After the game to-
morrow the players who are trying for
the All Hawaii team, will practise and
those who see the big game will have
the chance to see the boys in action
The odds are slightly in favor Of
the Picked team. The Saints have not
made a very good showing of late, as
they were beaten by the Pennsylvania
team who did not have very much time
to practise, and who deserve a good
deal of credit for their victory. Every
one who wishes to swell the fund for
the expenses of the coast team will
have a chance tomorrow.

SPORT NOTES

The great English game of cricket
that is so popular among the subjects
of King Edward VII nas taken
a sudden slump, as most of the
good players are away from the Ter
ritory, and will not be back for some
time. The officers of the cable ship
Restorer are very good at the Eng
fish national game, and until they re-
turn from their cable splicing expedi-
ton at Guam, the game will be at a
standstill. Plans had been made for a
series of games between the Restorer
team as well as the Australians with
the local team, but at present there are
not enough players in the Territory to
make up a team. The return of the
Restorer is waited for patiently by the
few players in town, and by the time
that she returns from her cruise
cricket will again be taken up

MEN AND
THE COAST TRIP
LOCAL PLAYERS APPARENTLY
NOT VERY ANXIOUS TO UNDER
TAKE THE JOURNEY.

One of the local polo players receiv-
ed in The mail the other day a letter
from one of the most enthusiastic polo
players on the Coast, stating that II
the Hawaiian team should come to
the Coast they would be given a royal
time. While they are on the Coast
they will be virtually the guests of the
Burlingame team. The writer also
states in his letter that he will make
arrangements to have the ponies sta
bled in either Charles Clark or Frank
Carolan's racing stables, and will guar
antee that the ponies will be well talk
en- care of. He proposes that the first
game should be played between the
Burlingame and the local team on the
new San Mateo polo field which win
be used in place of the old Burlingame
field, that has been cut up for build
ing lots.
After the first game it is the present
plan to have the Hawaiian team play
in the Clark tournament, which lasts
for a week. and which is considered to
be one of the most important events
on the polo calendar. Last year teams
from Santa Monica, Santa Barbara,
Riverside, Los Angeles and Burlln-
game took part in this event. 1t is al
so hoped that a team from England
will be on hand this year and with the
Hawaiian team as well as the others
mentioned, will make very interest
ing collection of teams.
After the Clark tournament the an
nual Southern championships will take
place at Coronado, followed by week
at Del Monte. There is one rule that
is followed on the Coast that will be
strange to the local team, and that is
the English rules which do not allow
off-side play, but which allows hook
ing mallets With a little practice the
local team should be able to learn
these new rules, and by the time that
the team arrived on the Coast they
would be we'll up on the fine points of
the English game.
The Burlingame players are willing
to play the local team under the rules
that they now use here, in all except
the tournament matches. 1t is hoped
that the local players will take some
action in this important matter and
will decide to go. At the present time
the local players are not at all enthu-
siastic about going, but the community
at large is in hopes that they will
change their minds and be ready to so
up when the time comes and bring
back victory to the islands, as in the
Territory there are a collection of polo
players who can play the game. In
the last inter-island matches fine polo
was the order of the day.
