BOLD HIGHWAYMEA
 HOLD UP MINER
Relieve Man of $40 and Watch on Road Between Lowell
 and South BiSbee.

Two men are in jail at Lowell, charged with highway robbery in which they are said to have relieved a South Bisbee miner of $40 fin cash and gold watch and chain. The al ieged crime was committed on the Naco road at a point between Lowell and South Bisbee as their victim was going to his home at an early hour yesterday morning. Owing to the lateness of the capture of the supposed hold-ups, details of the crime are meagre. a4TTa FtaAe4
 The name of the yictim of the bold robbery could not be learned at late hour last night. but the imprisonment Of the two supposed robbers was con firped by Justice Grier of Lowell.
 The capture of the two men, should they prove to ba the men wanted by the officers. reflects much credit on the police force of Lowell.
 Owing to the brightness of day at the time of the robbery. the victim is said to be able 10 identify the men who held him up.
 The men now in the Lowell jail will be arraigned before Justice Grier on Monday.

IS SAID THAT A NEGRO SHOTAT
 TRACY
Charged By onIookers That Negro Porter at Benson. CroSS-Fired on Man En-, gagged In Deadly Duel.

Did Louis Holt negro porter at the Virginia hotel in Benson. fire two shots at J. A. Tracy when that indi- yidual was exchanging shots with Ranger Wheeler on the eyentful day when Wheeler shot and killed him? is a question that Is arousing much interest in Bisbee and this section of Coehise county CT the present time.
 1t is charged that the nesro did.
 Manager Cas2e1s6a of the Virginia Hotel. states positively that Holt did not have a gun with which to shoot at the time of the Benson affray. but that he was busily epsae- ed at that time in carrying luggage rom thee hotel to the depot and could not have done any shooting as his hands were Dreoccupied.
 From different sources the ReyIew Is told that Holt. or some negro. did shoot at Tracy from the porch of the Virginia ho.el.
 Another version of the negros part in the fight is that he did not shoot. but tkat he levefec a weapon over the shoulder of another spectator intend Ing to shoot when Tracy fell mortally wounded.
 This point will undoubtedly be gone into when the inquest into the cause of the death of Tracy Is held.
 A story which has been told of Holt. which would seem to explain a positive motive for his participation in the game is that when he lived in> Kentucky. he was a servant of Col onel Silverton. father of the "other man in the case" and thie man with whom Tracy's former sweetheart was travelling al the time.
 Whether this may lead to "ny im- Dlications of the negro in the death of Tracy. remains to be seen.
 Ranger Wheeler is reported to be greatly improved. He Is still under the care of Dr. Bacon at Tombstone Mrs. Wheeler left Naos for Tombstone est 9day to be E.--t her hr5band over SunGay. Wheeler's wounds are raD- idly healing and no trouble is tx- Dected in their treatment.

BUELOW ISSUES MANIFESTO
German Chancellor Hopes to Infu-
ence Reichstag Elections,
Combination of Literally Inclined
Parties May Result IL Vote
Is Rightly Cast.

Berlin. Jan. 1.-The afternoon papers
publish a manifesto issued by Chancellor
Won Buelow against the social democracy
and the center Catholics. The manifesto
is avowedly meant 10 influence the com
ing elections TO the Reichstag. Its most
remarkable features are a confession
that, since the last elections in 1903 gov
eminent has been impossible without the
cooperation of the center
The chancellor denies. however. that he
has ever sacrificed the rights OF the state
or the rights Of the coalition. and he
points out that the increase Of the navy.
the commercial treaties, and the reform
of the finances could nave been. and
were, carried out only with the center.s
aid.
The time came when the Centre abused
its power, especially on colonial questions
on which it opposed the government. in
conjunction with the Social democracy
Then. Won Buelow says, he noticed a
growing disposition in the ranks of the
Liberal bourgeois to be hostile to the
Social Democracy, acting on which he
advised the dissolution of the Reichstag.
liberalism had grown up only in the last
decade. Consequently, although he does
not expect a great liberal party to come
into existence ia the next elections he
believes, if Germans vote rightly, com
bination Of literally inclined parties may
result. which will be able to counterfeit
the Centre.
He recommends a coalition Of the Con-
sentative and National Liberal parties,
since both think for the nation and have
no party interests. The chancellor at
tacks the Social Democracy. and calls il
the true party of reaction, comparing II
and its leaders to Robespierre and the
Jacobin terror, which the sword of Ma
poleOn had 10 sweep away" He saws
that no German desires a personal des-
potisT, but neither does he want a party
of despotism.
The chancellor concludes his manifesto
by calling the electorate to vote for
honor and the good Of the nation against
the Social Democracy, the Poles. the
Guelphs, and the Centrists.''
