A USELESS MEASURE.

It seems from reports from Phoenix that the territorial council has re versed itself on the matter of provid- ing a railroad commission for the territory by passing measure intro .duced by the republican member of the council from Graham county. The measure is the siiliest yet passed by the Iegislative council; the new law would create a commission without any duties or power to take any ac- tion which could accomplish anything in the matter of railroad regulation; it is a measure devoid of teeth ex- cept the molars provided for gnawing at the territorial treasury, as the bill provides for an expense of s1O,0oo per year to carry on the work of the commission.
 The commission is given no power whatever except that 1t may on com plaint against railroad rates in Ari- zona refer the matter to the federal
 
 The new railroad rate law giving in creased power to the interstate com merce commission provides other means of complaints being put before that body without the aid of s10,o0o territorial railroad commission and It is to be hoped that should this bill pass the house that the governor will kill it with a veto.
 This paper is opposed to any more commissions of any character to be appointed and dominated by the gov ernor. If it is found desirable to pass . any laws for the regulation of the railroad business in Arizona let the authority be given to the governor al rect without the inconvenience and ex pense of any commission. When the republican council killed the three-cent fare bill which hac passed the house it killed an effective j measure thai would have been bene i ficial to the people of Arizona. i looks now like the republicans were trying to avert the wrath of their con stituents for that act by proposing ; i bamboozling bill which will amour to nothing but expense if it is place. j on the statute book. By increasing i the salaries of nearly every territoT ial official the present legislature ha j gone far enough in the matter of fat i tening the ribs of republicans and VI hope that the democrats in the hous will call a halt.

 Davis is brilliant man and has a
 powerful personality. In his political
 career of eight years he has over come the unanimous opposition of the ordinarily influential press; he has not only defeated all opposition but he has utterly routed it in every engagement;
 he has defied, and when the crisis came, defated impeachment, using 1t
 but as ladder which he might climb to loftier heights. LA The ability of such man is not
 to be regarded lightly. though at times he does talk ill-advisedly.

WORK BEING RUSHED Ou NEW \. B [. LINE
Many Cars of Rails Being Sent Through to Point of R. R,
 Operations,

That tracklaying will be resumed at an early date on the Arizona & Cali fornia Railroad. is apparent from the fact that in the last ten days, more than fifty carloads of steel have been delivered to that line, and yesterday several more carloads of rails passed through here to the front of the new road, say the Prescott Journal-Miner.
 An increase in the grading force will also be made at once and the work of completing the line to the Colorado river pushed as rapidly as possible. Six carloads of mules and horses and several carloads of grad ing and tracklaying appliances pass ed through here yesterday for the front from the Belden cutoff in New Mexico. the grading of which has re- cently been completed by the Grant Brothers Construction company, the l firm having the contract for the build ing of the new 4. & c. line.
 When completed to the Colorado river the Arizona & California Rail road will open to the mining and pros pecting world one of the richest min l eral sections in the United States, which, up to.the time the new road was built into it. about two years ago. was never penetrated except by the most daring and hardest Drospectors. many of whom lost their lives for lack of water in passing through the | district.
 As soon as the line reaches the river a bridge will be built and work of grading and tracklaying pushed through California to the main line of the Santa Fe. F

THE NEW SENATOR FROM ARKANSAS.

Jefferson Davis. the newly elected senator from Arkansas, is another commoner who may make his mark. Anyone who can do what Senator Davis has is sure to command at

CRIPPLE CREEK
 ACTOR IS AR|zOAAN
Jesse Hale Former Arizona Legislator-SeNed With
 Bucky 0'NeiIi, !

A comedy impersonation that is find ing high favor with audiences wherev- CT the play is produced is the Ben White" "Alaways Been Black" of Frank Cotton in At Cripple Creek" to appear here this evening.
 Mir. Cotton is unctuous and wholly delightful in the part of the much har- ried colored man. His experience as a minstrel man and in the specially" field of the earlier days, has made him a comedian whose rare talents are al- ways in great demand. Mir. Colton was one of the original members of the famous Hayerly Company of the halcyon days of that organization. As , an end man he ranked high in the burnt cork profession. MT. Colton is versatile in his comedy work, his ex- perience embracing all lines of char acter comedy. He is just as clever in Irish and German roles as he is in ' black face. 4 Mir. Jesse Hale. who plays the h. dian, waketah, has had picturesque and varied career Born upon his ! fathers schooner during a terrific gale on Lake Erie. Hale seemed fated for a gloomy existence; and his life voy- l age has so far been streaked with ad- venture and experience that do not | fall to tn elot of the average stay-at. i home person. He served one term in the Arizona legislature, and for a time officiated as secretary to the gov ernoT. When the Spanish-American war broke out. the late Capt. Buck. ey" O'Neill, whose heroic death while leading a charge up San Juan Hill thrilled the hearts of newspaper read CTS, and whose last words, "WhO Wouldn't Die for another Star in the Flag?' deserved to be cherished along with final utterances of the distin. guished dead, sent Hale telegraphic request to organize a regiment oi Rough Riders in his town. This the young editor did, his office serving as a recruiting station.
 He was connected with stock compa nies on the Atlantic coast for two sea sons, and is versatile to a degree. He is especially well equipped in voice and temperament for the legitimate drama. having been highly commend ed in such parts as Antonio" in the Merchant of Venice, -'Mercutio" and ''Tybalt" in Romeo and Juliet" Gas ca" in Julius Caesar" etc. Last sea son he played ''Malatesta." in Whit ney's revival Of Francesca da Rimi nj" Mir Hale makes a good Indian

 visited Indianapolis and the etate lead CTS represented to the national com mittee that it would be impossible to get them to make another visit. but the committee insisted the effort should be made, and sent two labor agitators in to the state to manage the affair.
 As a demonstration it was a fizzle, and cost a good deal of money. The result was it gave a good deal of col oring the Democratic claims that organized labor was opposed to liar rison. The Blaine coming and the la bor demonstration were fixed for the same time and required all the energy and money of the party. The two things combined came very near los ing the state to the Republicans. The James G. Blaine of 1888 was not the magnetic James G. Blaine of former years. As I said, he was peeyish and petulant. This was displayed in num- beriess ways He would not stop at hotels, but had to be entertained at some private house. One of the great demonstrations arranged was to take place at Tippacanoe battle ground. a short distance from the City of Lafay- cite. It was a beautiful day and a vast throng had assembled to greet him. @ Something had gone wrong with him at breakfast and he entered the trains to go to the battle ground in a very petulant mood. One or'two, ot his enthusiastic admirers persisted on entering his car and this added to his peevishness. So 1t was that when the battle ground was reached he refused to speak at all, and.it was only after persistent persuasion that he was in duced to take a seat on the platform Fully twenty thousand people had gathered to greet him but he sat on the platform with bis head down, and would hardly respond to the greetings of any one.
 He entered Harrison's cabinet, but each of the two distinguished gentle men carried a chip on his shoulder and nothing during the whole admins tration so pleased Harrison as the ten dering of Blaine's resignation, unless 1t was the acceptance of it.

<New MEXICO MACHINE.

The old republican political ma chine which has so long footed and dominated the territory of New Mexi- co seems to be in desperate straits now. as it should be.
 When Governor Hsgernsar was ap- pointed to be governor of New Mexi- co that event was taken as notice to the old political barnacies of our neighboring territory to quit, but they have refused to subside and seem to be in control of the lower house of the territorial legislature in session at Santa Fe During the session the old combination has introduced many measures which would take patronage away from the governor and place 1t in the hands of others, but the people of New Mexico and the members of the territorial council seem to be wise to the motives of the gang and

 have refused to assent to the pro posed schemes. In desperation the majority in the house have now re sorted to placing all their defeated measures as riders on the appropria. ton bill. Concerning this action and its purpose the Albuquerque Journal says:
 By the provisions O. the remark able appropriation bill passed by the house of representatives in Santa Fe Tuesday, the people of New Mexico are Invited in return for appropria. tions for the educational institutions, to which those institutions are justly entitled, to swallow every one of the measures which the machine up to the present time has failed to passssim- ply because the people of the terri. tory would not stand for them and be, cause enough members of the council have stood up for the wishes and in. terests of the people to prevent their passage.
 Two weeks ago 1t was threatened that the university would not get a cent unless the people of Albuquerque whipped their representatives into line for the district attorney bill. This threat was showed down the throats of the people of Albuquerque day af ter day by the Bursum afternoon news paper Now the people are shown a tempting appropriation for the uni versity, with the invitation vote fol my district attorney bill, and my coa oil bill; my bill to make Max Frost immigration agent, and my printing bill; my bill to give certain gentle men, believed to be friendly to tho machine, places on commission tt revise the laws, and all other littl, bills that I've got fixed up to load ontt the appropriation bill, and I'll giv' ysu your appropriation for the univer sity, that you are entitled so and tha we are not at all sure we can keeI you from getting"

A MURDER OVER TELEPHONE.
Official Of Lowell, Mass, Heard
Screams, Pistol Shot and
Falling Body.

Lowell. MaSS.-Hearing a murder
owe a telephone was the surprising
experience of Bernard J.. Gately, a
constable, who heard the creams and
the shot when Mrs. Mary A. Nc
Bride, a milliner, was fatally attacked
in her Office.
In her millinery shop at No. 229
Dutton street, before her helpless
employees, Mrs. Mcbride was shot
down by a man, who rushed in, fired
a revolver at her and escaped. The
woman; at the st. John Hospital, re-
gained consciousness long enough to
say:-"John Kelley shot me-"
The constable who had the re-
markable experience was some dis
lance away at his office in the Cen
trail Building.
He called the milliner by telephone
regarding a legal matter. The voice
at the other end of the wire an
swered:-"This is Mrs. Mcbride, and
/ refer you to my attorney. Daniel J.
Donahue."
Then the constable heard a scuf-
fe and loud cries. my God, don't
shoot me! Don't shoot mel"
Then he heard clearly yer the tel
ephone a revolver shot, followed by a
woman's moaning, which grew faint
er, until all was still.
Gately was paralyzed for a moment
at the unusual sounds over the wire,
but gathering his senses, rushed for
the millinery store.
He found Mrs. Mcbride lying un-
conscious with In ugly wound over
her right eye.
In n orner was Miss Vanasse,
the milliner's assistant, half fainting
from the experience and moaning
that Mrs. Mcbride had been killed.
The assistant explained that the
shooting was done by John Kelley,
who was madly in love, with the lar
ried m
Kelley was found near the scene
of the shooting and was arrested
charged with attempt to murder.

For a Rest,

Washington, D. C.-Milton D. Pur-
dy, assistant to the Acknowledgement
and author of the injunction-receiver-
ship method of dealing with the
trusts, has sailed fof Europe for a
vacation of six weeks or two months.
1t is probable that there will be no
great activity in trust prosecutions

prepared the case against the so
called tobacco monopoly. accompanies
Mr. Purdy on his European journey.
Only two more antitrust suits
are in immediate contemplation. The
case against the Du Pont Powder
Corporation is in print, ready fol the
final approval of the Attorney-Gen-
eral, and the papers in the ase have
been submitted to him. The other
proposed action is against the In
ternational Harvester Company,
which is declared by the Government
officers to be a monopoly in restraint
of interstate commerce.
The investigation of the Harves-
ter Company has never been COM
pleted, although the preliminary ex-
animation, which was enough to sat
isfy officers of the Department of JUS
tice that some action should be taken
against the corporation, was com
pleted some time ago. The prosecu-
ton of the Harvester Company MAY
possibly go ver until the autumn.
An experiment will be made in the
suit. against the Tobacco Company,
which is charged with violating the
Sherman law. An injunction will be
asked against it to prevent it engag-
ing in interstate commerce, and the
court will be asked to appoint a re-
