OFFICIAL APPOINTMENTS.

The friends of organized labor can not but regret the attitude of the leg isIative board of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen and Enginemen towards Governor Hughes of New York on account of misunderstood ing with regard to that officials ap- pointments to the public service com mission. The right of citizens, wheth- CT organized or not, to criticise pub lie servant is conceded by practice and tradition, but the right of a particular organization to feel injured because It's candidate was not selected has not yet been clearly established
 The facts in the case, as set forth in a memorandum seni the governor by an official of the brotherhood, are these At the time Governor Hughes was considering names from which to select for membership bn the public service commission he had recon mended to him the name of . man by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Ere men and Enginemen Other railroad organizations did the same thing, so that he had before him at the time several names belonging to men who were practical railroad workmen When the announcements were made 1t was seen that he lad overlooked the list and made his selections from among men in whom the org ,nization of tabor had no brotherlv interest It was to find out why he acted as he did that the legislative board of the broth erhood asked him 10 explain. This the governor did in communication. He replied that in making selections for public office he had been moved bv but one consideration and that was the fitness of the man under inspection Nothing is more important to our -earners," he wrote.

It would be impossible to satisfy all interests in this way, and for every one that would be pleased there would be many who would feel slighted" To this frank and crcditable explanation of of- ficial purpose the reply was made that the governors statement was "1ecid- edly unsatisfactory

 Second game-Cananea 6; Fl Paso
 Batteries: Whaling and Herman; Raleigh and Hoff.
 The Fl Pasoans put up a good article of ball, despite their defeats. and the fans of Cananea were well pleased with the exhibition, declaring that the team was the best which had been on the Mexican diamond in some time.
 The features of the games were Gowan's throw from deep center to the plate, cutting of a runner; Hoff' s throw to third and the heavy hitting of Hodges, of the Cananea team, who got home run in each game. The grounds at Canauea are very hard, which accounts for some of the long hits made. In case a ball got by a fielder. the hit was good for at least two bags.
 The Fl Paso team members are very enthusiastic in regard to the treat nent that they received in Cananea both from the team and the tans. The umpiring was also very satisfac- tory. not one kick made by either team.
 There is great deal of talk con corning the game which is to be played with the Cananea team here next Sunday, and there is every in dication that there will be large at tendance. The team was out yester- day afternoon practicing for the event and with the assistance of Corr, who will catch for the Bisbee team, they expect to give the Cana nea boys a run for their money.

CANANEA, May 7.-Cananea play ed all around Fl PasO in Monday mornings game, making the represen- tatives of the Pass City put forth all their efforts to keep a shut-out rom being recorded against them. The -olitary run they did get was due to Wacey, Reardon, Bob Whaling aud Dugan's apparent belief that no Fl Paso player could find the way around the bases if he was not inter- fered with. Any way they boom erauged the ball back and forth over the west side of the diamond until Preston crossed the home plate and rubbed his eyes to see if it was real ly true. Tom Whaling was there with shoots. winders and speed, and during no part oF the game did the spectators feel that Cananea could Uossibly lose. Only three bits were made of his delivery. In the eighth inning he famed three men on ten ritched balls and laughed at them as they pulverized the air.
 Ralefgh pitched probably the best game he has twirled this season, al lowing onlv eight h'E. It should be some consolation for him to know frat ttfs is fewer hits than Ca7an'a 7a~ been sc-fsfad with in any game this year.

 Having saved $1O, he started for California, riding a freight train to Benson. When he arrived at Jnv junction town, he changed his mind and returned to Bisbee.
 Within a few hours after he had reached the mining camp on his re turn he was standing at the railroad depot, when Deputy Marshal John son happened along and glaced in Avechuca's direction. The officer would probably have taken no notice of him had he not at that moment turned his face away quickly As Johnson approached Avechuca began to walk away, with the former fol lowing. As soon as the officer got good look at his man he accused him of being Ayechuca, informed him he was under arrest and ordered him to throw up his hands, as between the folds of his coat a cartridge belt fill ed with bullets could be seen. The prisoner, however, had no gun on him, the bullets being brass tipped and A caliber for use either in a Winchester or six-shooter.
 Johnson took his man to jail and notified Colonel Emilio Kosterlitsky, of the rurs1es: who at once sent two men to identify the prisoner, which they did positively, in spite of his protestations that he had not been in Mexico for more than five years.
 Discouraged, Avechuca has finally given up the fight and will return to Mexico to take his chances on proving that his act was justifiable.

Special to the Review.)

TUCSON, May 27.-When arraign' ed before United States Commission CT Dunsheath yesterday morning Del fino Avechuca, wanted in Mexico on charge oF murder, waived eXamina- tion and stated that he was willing to return to the southern republic and stand trial. He will be delivered to the Mexican authorities within a short time.
 From the time of his arrest in Bisbee last February until yesterday morning Averchuca availed hir2seli of every possible means of preventing his extraditiOn, but when brought be fore the commissioner he stated that ne would not fight any farther.
 At the time he was arrested by Deputy Marshal Johnson, of Bisbee, Averchuca denied his identity and claimed that he had come to the big mining camp from the northern DOT. tion of the territory. Since he was turned over to the United States au' thorities he has made confession that he was the man sought after, but claims that he killed Ursulo Sanchez at Bacuchi in self defense.
 He stated that he had paid IL cense to give a dance at Bacuachi on the night of the killing and that young lady to whom he and San chez had paid much attention attend ed. He stated that Sanchez came also, although not invited, and witE another man followed him around the room, taunting him and inviting hin 10 go outside with them. Finally going out of he building, he says ne noticed Sanchez and his com ~aniCns following him and knew that i*hev intended to do him injury. He claims he then went to his home --Nich was a short distance away and secured a Winchester rife. Re urning he again encountered ais rival. who, he declares, made threatening talk. He says he theI l killed him and fled.
 Avechuca says he had been drink l ing at the dance and that after run hing about a mile from the scene o the murder he lay down to rest. He says he fell asleep and awoke short " before daylight. Looking dowr | the hill he could see the lanterns | carried by officers who were on his trail. and he then started for the in ternational boundary line, avoiding
 all settlements so as to throw ais pur l suers of the trail.
 He had no money or food, ant
