BAT ILESH|PS AT cAuAO
An Enthusiastic Welcome Extended American Fleet by People of
 the Peruvian Port.
REAR ADMIRAL THOMAS IS IN COMMAND
Admiral Evans Still in Poor Healts Gave Charge of Vessels to Ills Sub ordInate-An uneventful Passage up the Coast-Extensive Programme Of Entertainment Planned.

Callao, Feb. 21.--The American bat tleship fleet was sighted off this port at 7:45 a. m., Thursday.
 The latest wireless dispatch from the Connecticut says that Rear Ad- miral Evans is still in poor health and that Rear Admiral Charles M. Thomas, commander of the second squadron and third division of the fleet has as sumed command of the vessels.
 The American warships had a sue cessfnl and uneventful passage up from Punta Arenas. They left Punta Arenas at II o'clock at night Febru- ary '.
 cast. The weather was cold and tho wind blew squally and fresh, forcing the low flying clouds aside for occa- sional flashes of brilliant sunshine. The snow clad peaks on either side of the strait made fitting setting to the wild weather
 As the vessels finally cleared in safety the last head lands and the dangerous islands that bar the en- trance to the open ocean every man in the fleet was filled with a sense of pride in the successful accomplish ment of difficult and dangerous piece of navigation. Once in the Pacific the fleet ran into drizzling rain and fog and the head lands and mountains marking the western entrance to the strait were quickly lost to view. The warships then had fog for four days, during which time they kept in touch by the sound of their whistles On the fifth day the weather cleared and remained fine until the fleet steamed into Callao Thursday morning under a warm tropical sun.
 On the morning of February Is the | fleet was off Coquimbo, Chile, and here the people also crowded the headlands to witness the passing of the vessels and give expressions of their welcome. From Coquimbo the vessels headed di- rect for Callao
 On the morning of February IS a wireless message was received an nouncing the presence of the Peruvian IAulSCl 1OiOnCt DQlOSHtSl GAlCuh ing the welcome of the Peruvian gov ernment and the people. The Coronel Bolognesi escorted the fleet into Cal lao, having joined the American yes sells during the morning of the 18th.
 The Peruvian cruiser Almirante Grau was in Callao when the Ameri- can vessels entered Thursday morning at o'clock and the usual salutes were exchanged. The welcome ex- tended by the people of Callao was en- ! thusiastic. Vast crowds had come down from Lima the night before and the docks and head lands were thronged. Both Callao and Lima are in holiday attire. and the only topic of conversation is the brilliant spec tacle of the American armada as the white warships swung into port. An extensive programme of hospitable en- tertainment has been arranged by the Peruvian authorities and people for the American visitors during their stay of ten days.

THEY FOUGHT IT
 ALL OVER AGAIN
Locked in Jail Cell at Fort Smith Two Old Soldiers. Union and Con- federate, Fight Over
 Civil War.

The Civil war between the North and the South was de- clared anew and fought over Saturday night in cell in the city jail at Fort Smith, says the Southwest American.
 The armies were composed of only two soldiers, but they scrapped bravely and stormed each others strcngholds for several hours before the resculng party arrived and put a stop to further carnage.
 Two Irishmeu, one named Gentry and the other Bibbs, had fingered too long over the wine that IS red and both became drunk. They were taken in ty the police and were locked up in the same cell at the city jail. Now 1t so happened that both were soldiers in the Civil war, one on the side of the Federals, while the other served under the Southern flag. The old spark of hatred still fingered in each hear, and the whiskey that they had inbided during the night caused the sparks to kiudle into flames.
 After being locked behind the bars and left alone, the two men commenced to make an oral re- view of the battles they had fought and as usual the disagree ments arose. The words grew warmer and warmer and 1t was finally decided that the North and the South should again make a settlement of the difficulties and the men proceeded to force their points in hstic encounter.
 They fought and fought Bibbs was first on the hard floor aud then it was Gentry that was on the bottom. After the battle had been in progress for over an hour, Chief Suratt was attracted to the scene. When he peered through the bars, Bibbs was on the floor and Gentry was showeriug his face with blows from above. Bibbs was serving his opponent in like manner, but he was hit ting in an upward direction.
 'Iset me alone" said the man ou the bottom, in answer to the request of the head of the Police department to stop further pro- cedures, ''I'll whip him If it takes me all day.
 The men were finally separated and locked in different cells. Bibbs was arraigned in police court Monday morning His face resembled piece of meat after having been beaten for cooking. There was hardly a spot to be found that was not bruised and bleeding.
 ''How does the other fellow look?" asked Judge Freer.
 ''Oh, they say he looks worse than do" was the reply.
 "You have got just about a S100 lace OH you. said his honor, "and 1 am going to let you off with the understanding that you will not come up here again"

THE INTEGRITY OF MR.. FORAKER

The elimination Of Senator Foraker
from the Republican national cam
paign after the publication by Viii
liam r. Hearst of the ATchbold letters
was inevitable, not because Of the dis
closure of any wrongful or improper
act by the senator, but because of the
misconsuuction which thousands of
ignorant and unthinking voters would
place upon those letters in the excite
ment of a national contest.
The Hearst newspapers, moreover,
are assisting the public mind to such
a misconstruction and no doubt they
would have been abetted in the ef-
fort by the Democratic press and
speakers. If Mr.. Foraker had remained
associated with the campaign.
To the ordinary 5analysist there is
really nothing damaging in the Arch
bold letters, and when the excitem-n'
is removed, there will seem to -.
enc that the letters reflect in any
way upon the high character of Mr.,
Foraker. The unfairness of the at
tack upon Mr.. Foraker is manifest in
| iIfc. ences which have been encour'
aged by the Hearst papers. For in
stance. certain letters allude to the
pending antitrust bill then in a sen
ate committee, urging the defeat OF
the bill. Another letter advises the
senator of an-enclosure OF 81 draf'

GOOD ROADS.

The platform adopted at the
Prescott convention when Marx
Smith was named as the congressional
candidate, called attention 10 the ne
cessity for better roads in the terri
tory for the accommodation Of the
rapidly increasing population. The
democrats declared for a E5eI al policy
in the matter of building roads in the
several counties.
We believe that the road law could
be amended in Sc? =ral instances with
benefit to the roads. The present sys-
tenn of road work is very loose. To
our mind there should be road COM
missioner in each of the counties,
whose duties should be to make ex-
animation of all the work and Of the
money expended in each road district
Arizona has kept well to the front
in the matter of providing excellent
schools and other public institutions
and the time has now come when the
matter of providing better public
roads should receive attention.
The democrats did well in taking
the lead in the matter Of providing
better roads for the use Of the people
of Arizona

poRAN JoINs sMITA FORCES

An indication of how tle real, think
ing, earnest ArizOnan feels toward
Mark Smith and Ralph Cameron IA.
their race for congress is to be found
in the open avowal of Major A. ].
DoTan. president of the last legislative
council and former Republican candi-
date for delegate. that he viii in this
campaign and at the polls support and
vote for Delegate Smith.
Republican threats and Republican
promises are too transparent TO blind
men of Doran's standing and ability.
He has spent his life in Arizona; he
knows the failures and successes of
the territory. and with prophetic eye
he can look into the future and fore
see the danger CT risking Republican
in> congress TO protect Arizona
against the political vultures who
would link this territory to anOJuel
and forever obliterate its identity.
Like every other oldtimer. Major
Dcran has waited long and hopefully
for statehood He has seen his own
party prove recreant to its duty con-
gress after congress, and keep Arr
iona in territorial bondage because
give the people of this territory a vote
in the two branches only because it
would select Democratic senators and
congressman.
Doran is not the only loyal Arizonan
who has openly ayowed that he will
vote for Smith in spite of past party
affiliations. Republicans, who are not
blinded by party prejudice, admit that
Smiths election is needed more now
than ever in the past.
If the Republicans should by some
unforeseen combination of circum
stances be forced to give Arizona
statehood. Smith is the man to have
in Washington to look after ouI im
terests. Men like Doran know this
and they have the courage to say 50
openly.
Doran's honest statement cannot
help but lead more of mis- party mem
bers to openly declare for MARI
Smith. Now that the ice is broken
10 surprise need follow if hundreds o
additions to the Smith camp come
from the Republican fighting lines

GUTHRIE, Sept 24.-Carl MCGEE,
well known lawyer and business
man who presided over the Oklahoma
state convention which instructed for
the nomination of Judge Taft for the

for congress last year on the Repub-

open letter that he would support
William Jennings Bryan. He resents
Judge Taft's attack on the law guar
anteeing bank deposits, and adds:
Further, Mr. Taft is raising his
campaign funds from those with
whom he must deal very firmly and
towards whom he must have no OBJ
legation. / beliece Mr.. Bryan is more

site American mind and will best re-

That Senator Foraker had perform

Mr. Hearst. is prima facie evidence
that those services were such as could
be rendered without improperly. X
those letters had related to the pur.
chase of legislation or to reward for
any unlawful or improper act, copies
of them would never have been left to

ARIZONA WANTS ITS
ABLEST MAN IN cocHISE.

The time has arrived in the history
Of Arizona when there should be more
attention given to the breadth and
scope of the man chosen to represent
the territory in congress than TO his
politics Arizona is Just on the eve
of being admitted into the union as a
separate state. There was a time
when politics might have affected the
territory's chances for statehood, but
that day Is past as both the great
parties have declared in their ma
tional platforms in favor of the I'M
MEDIATE admission of Arizona and
New Mexico as separate states.
The one great question in which
the people Of Arizona will center all
their attention during the next con-
gress will be the final passage Of the
enabling act Under which the territory
will be admitted into the union. Dur
ing the consideration of this state
hood bill will it be better for Arizona
to be represented by a man who has
had twenty years experience in the
national law-making body, or will it
be better to elect Ralph Cameron
whose only claim for distinction is
that he is a good fellow, who has
never had any legislative experience Of

he might attract in Washington.
