Professor Heinrich Will Endeavor to
 Congregate All the Phoenix Voices.

Prof. Karl G. Heinrich is now busy making arrangements for Grand Music Festival, to be given in Phoenix. The feature of the undertaking will be that every selection on the pro- gram will be rendered by local talent. Prof. Heinrich now has the names of fifteen or twenty excellent soloists. both vocal and instrumentalists, sev- eral of whom have been heard here in public on various occasions. but there are a great many hidden lights" per formers of exceptional merit, who will be sure to please their hearers. The programs. of which there will be three. the festival to be run for that many nights. will include vocal and instru- mental solos, and concerted numbers. and among these latter viii be includ- ed the "SeXtelle, from Luciade Lam mermoor". A grand augmented or chestra will be employed. The or chestra will be composed of one hun dred instruments. including every mu- sician in the various bands and or chestras in Phoenix. The dates have not yet been fully decided upon. and it may be too late for this season, but the plans will be perfected and ev- erything in fine shape to hold the fes- tival next season.

.bAITlESHIP FLEET
 Is NOW Al CALLAO
A Welcome Second to 7ione That Pre- ceded 1t, Is Given by the Peruvian Government.

CallaO. Feb. 2O.-Tne American bat tleships under Admiral Evans com mand. looking clean and trim and powerful. came to anchor in this port soon after s o'clock this morning. The booming of salutes announced the ar rival of the fleet but there was no need to send ont signals. for every residence in Callao and great crowds from Lima had awaited with expec- tancy the first glimpse of the advanc- ing column.
 Callao is in holiday array and Washington will be shown that Peru vian hospitality is second to none in South America. Many thousands view ed the imposing scene from the wharves and headlands and the ships
 in the harbor. Enthusiastic crowds went down the bay on excursion steamers and cheered the American men of war. The Peruvian cruiser Coronel Dolognesi. beaWing the first official welcome to the fleet. joined the American vessels yesterday 250 miles 10 the southward. having the | day before exchanged greetings by wireless with the Connecticut. and elNANu etS eiAi FotDi | up AAit NOeioA- soilt led the way into the harbOr this morning with the flagship of tine fleet close behind. and soon the sound of guns gave notice that the American sailors were the republics guests. The only regrettable feature of the entertainment is the fact that the commander Admiral Evans. has not | been able to attend. Il is said today that the admiral, who has been suf- fering almost from the beginning of the voyage from rheumatism, is slightly better but does not feel that
 he should risk the danger of coming ashore. Rear Admiral Thomas. com
 mander of the second squadron, will represent Admiral Evans at the off cial ceremonies. The battieships will remain possibly for ten days and be joined by the torpedo boat flOtilla near the close of their stay.
 Arrangements have been made for festivities of all kinds. including a bull fight which not less than 5000 blue jackets will see. and a regatta for which preparations have been going on for several weeks.
 President Pardo will give a public reception to the officers tomorrow. Washington's birthday will be made a gala day.

MUSTERED
 BOSTON|ANS
Varied Opinions About
 COOper-Mania
About
MultitudeS Swarm Around the Young OhiOan at the Hub.

Boston. Feb 20-The astonishing sale of COoper's preparations in this city has now reached such immense figures that the medical fraternity at large have become forced into open discussion of the man and his prepar ations.
 The physicians as a whole seem tO be divided with regard to the young
 mans success in Boston, some being willing to credit him for what he has accomplished. while others assert that
 the interest he has aroused is but a passing fad which cannot last. and which will die out as quickly as it has sprung up.
 The opinions sof these two factions 1 is very well voiced in the statements
 made recently by two of a number of 1 physicians who were interviewed on
 the subject.
 One of Boston's most prominent i physicians. when questioned about the matter, said: "I have not been a be-
 liever in proprietary medicines here i tofore. nor can l say that I believe in | them at present. But I must admit ! that some of the facts recently | brought to my notice concerning this man Cooper have gone far toward re- ! moving the prejudice I had formed against him when the unheard-Of de- mand for the preparations first sprang
 up in this city.
 | Numbers of my patients, whom l
 have treated for chronic liver. kidney and stomach troubles. have met me after taking COoper's remedies, and
 have stated positively that he has ac- complished wonderful results for them.
 l notice particularly in cases of stom-
 ach trouble that the man has relieved
 several cases that were of years standing and proved very obstinate in treatment.
 | T am the last man on earth to stand in the way of anything that may prove for the public good simply through professional prejudice. and am inclined to give Cooper and his preparations credit as deserving to some extent the popular demonstra- ton that has been accorded them in this city" Another well known physician who was seen, took the opposite view of the Cooper mania" as he called it.
 which now has this city in its grip He said: CT can only liken the pres
 ent state of affairs to a certain kind of hallucination. For want of a bet ter name I might call it Copper mania The people of Boston seem to be firm in the belief that this man Cooper has health corked up in a
 bottle.
 Some Of them imagine that he has completely cured them of various ills, judging from their statements. It is beyond me to say why the city has gone crazy over the man. It may be safely put down. I think. to one of the passing fads that so often attack the American public
 In the meantime Cooper meets sev- eral thousand people daily, and only smiles when statements of the above character are quoted to him. His
 charitable work still continues to be very extensive.

Smirnoff, acting commander of the for tress and Major General Reiss, chief of staff, were acquitted for lack of proof.
 The court recommended that the death sentence upon Stoessel be com7 muted to ten years imprisonment in the fortress and that he be excluded from the service. Gen. Voeder. presi- dent of the court, read the sentences amid intense silence, and by a great effort Stoessel maintained his rigid, sOldier-like impassivity. Sairnoff was seemingly unmOved. but there were tears in the eyes of Reiss. The sen tence of death was pronounced upon Stoessel for surrendering the fortress before all means of defense had been exhausted. and for failing to enforce his authority for military misdemean- ors."
Arizona republican., 1908-02-21

Communication of sentence was asked on the ground that Port Arthur. be- set by overwhelming forces. defended itself under Stoessers leadership with unexampled stubbornness and filled the world with astonishment at the heroic courage of the garrison: that several assaults had been repulsed with tremendous losses on the part of the enemy; that there was hate of Stcessel throughout; that he had maintained the heroic courage of the defenders. and finally he had taken an energetic part in three campaigns g Before the sentence was read. meas ures were taken to prevent a dem- onstration in favor of StoesseI by a number of the younger officers and witnesses present.
