Grave View of situstssn.

London. March 25.-A difference of opinion as to how Servia's renunciation of her aspirations should be worded 10 all that today stands in tho way of . settlement of the Balkan crisis.
 In spite of this. however, the Foreign ofi1ce for the first time since the trou- ble arose takes . grave view of the situation. Although hope of reaching an agreement has by no means been given up the pessimism of the Foreign Omces arises from the opinion forced upon ofncials by Austria -Hungary's re- ply to Great Britain's last note that the Government of the dual monarchy is determined to humiliate servia. The British note sent to Vienna with the concurrence of Servia not only con- tained Servia's renunciation of her as- pirations for territorial aggrandize- ment but included c promise to demo- bilize her troops and renew friendly re- lations with Austria Hungary. Baron von Aehrenthars reply to this commit
 nication was received only last night. It was not a rejection of the proposal but a criticism of It's wording and a request that the renunciation of Ser via should be declared in more definite terms. AS 1t was generally believed that the British note had gone as far as the powers could so in advising Ser via, alarmist rumors gained circula- tion and many alarmed persons did not
 hesitate to say war was inevitable.
 This morning. however. Foreign Secre-
 tary Grey decided to send a reply to
 Baron von Aehrenthal. and in this an endeavor will be made to the Austro- Hungarian demands. If this object is not realized, 1t is feared efforts to reach an amicable
 settlement will be impossible. Ofi- ciais here. however, have not heard of
 the reported recognition by Russia of
 the annexation of Bosnia and Herze- govina and so far as England is coiI- l cerned the situation in this respect is unchanged.
 The Servian Legation here today has information that Austria Hungary has | mobilized three armies. one of which has been sent to Bosnia. It is impos- l sible to confirm this information from Vienna, as censorship prevents the press making any mention of military movements. The Foreign Ofiice has not heard of the reports.

St. Petersburg, March 25.--It is as- serted here that the di.s cuities encoun- tered by Great Britain in her attempts at mediation fin the Balkan situation are all of Austrian origin. as Russia practically has abandoned the Servians.
 Foreign Minister IswolskyA has stop ped at no sacrifices to deprive the war party in Austria of a legitimate excuse for aggression. Generally speaking the people here take no interest in the outlook.

Labor's Protest.

It is interesting to note, says the Tue son Citizen, that the railroad union locals have sent two representatives to Phoenix to protest against certain radical railroad legislation now before the legislature in bills introduced by Hunt and 0'Neill in the council and by Pace in the house. This action of the railroad employees was taken voluntar- fly and not at the solicitation of the railroad company, although likely enough the company would like to see the legislation in question defeated. The railroad men took their action on the ground of self.protection. They be- lieve that drastic regulation of the railroads as regards rates and other matters would so reduce the earnings of the railroad companies in this ter ritory as to force the companies to eur tail expenses by reducing wages or lay ing off many employees.

Books of Reference.

Newspaper editors like to answes questions addressed to them by their readers-if they are not too hard and they deem themselves as arbiters rather than as accessories to a mis- demeanor when they are appealed to for information ito decide bet" But they wonder sometimes why certain questions are put to them for arbitra ment when the answers are to be found in one of three very accessible books--an almanac, a grammar and small dictionary.
 These are books of reference tha ought to be in every home library however small We guess that they are but that they are sometimes dusty with misuse or out of easy reach on [ top shelf. It Is well to have an al manac, dictionary or an atlas handy when you are reading your newspaper By consulting them frequently thu reader will find his daily paper relates his early historical studies to presen events and makes his touch with thu world closer and more significant.

SAFE ROBBERS KEEP UP WITH MODERN
 METHODS
PosToFFICE THIEVES LOOT AN AVERAGE OF FOUR EACH DAY DESPITE PRECAUTIONS TAKEN TO PREVENT THEM.

During the seven years from 1900 to 1906, inclusive, the safes in ll,5s7 post offices in the United States were blown or forced and contents stolen. This was m average of more than four safes day in post offices alone. If the numerous burglaries in stores and business houses in general were added to the list it would represent an alarm ing total, an epidemic, as it were.
 The figures suggest comparison of the relative skill of the expert safe builder and the expert cracksman. One wonders in pondering over the harvest cited whether the safe blower or the safe builder is the superior at the present | time.
 The record of post.ofiice "breaks, v as compiled by the government author ities, appears to be the best criterion. "Figures don t lie, says the old adage.
 Men versed in the history and habits of criminals agree that up to date the safe blower has the better of the argu. ment; that be is still master of the situation, so far as the "tapping of safes goes. The cracksman will tell you so, too, with grin that denotes abso. lute confidence in his art, and not a few manufaeturrs of safes privately share this opinion, although some point with pride to certain high grade, specially equipped models of their art which they term impregnable.
 The fact remains, however, that loot. ngs are being oonStantly registered, and that frequently aplong the heavy losers are banks whose treasures boasted of the protection of the very latest and most formidable types of safes that money could buy

A sportino parson.

The inhibition of hunting rector by his bishop reminds correspondent that the Rev. Jack Russell, the fa- nous west country sporting parson, was once cited to appear before the bishop of Exeter to answer charges of neglecting his spiritual and parochial duties, and he was also remonstrated with for keeping and following pack of hounds. The charges were proved unfounded and Russell refused to give ub the sport. which he continued to pursue almost to the day of his death in 1883, at the age of eighty eight Besides being an unsuitable hunter. he was, as his biographer plthily remarks, "a stanch supporter of DevonshIre wrestlers. an admirable sparrer and an enthusiastic upholder of the virtues of Devonshire cider and cream" And in the pulpit he tried to reform conduct rather than to ex- pound doctrine and was stern de nouncer of bad language. strong drink and "the filthy habit of smok- ing."-St. James Gazette.

INSTANTLY KILLED
FOREMAN MEETS DEATH WHILE THAwING OUT DYNAMITE
 BY OPEN FIRE.

MIsSOULA, Mont, February 5.-- General Foreman James Donaldson was killed and laborer named Mizzner fatal ly injured by an explosion of dynamite at the Lower Yellowstone irrigation works this morning.
 The accident occurred at the rock quarry about mile from the camp, where the government employees are con structing big diversion dam of the project. A fire had been started to thaw out fifteen sticks of dynamite, when one of the men called Donaldson s attention to the fact that some of the dynamite was burning. The latter ran to the spot to save as much of the stuff as possible, and was bending over it when the explosion occurred. Mizzner was running to help Donaldson and was only a few feet away. Donaldson was unmarried.

Want Graham County Divided.

The question of county division will lgain be presented before the present session of the legislature, and pe- sition in support of this measure has been circulated in the Clifton Morenci district. The large area of Graham county and the unsatisfactory connec- tion of this end of the county with the countyseat, makes county division an absolute necessity in order to give the citizens of this end of the county some relief. Countyseat removal has been agitated to some extent, but in the event of it being moved to the eastern end, citizens of the western end would have the same grievance. It is suggested that the new county, composed of this end, be called Lincoln. A more appropriate name could not have been selected.--Clifton Era.

 The late Henry Miller, who was guide, philosopher and friend to many book lovers within thousand miles of New York, was a most successful salesman. One day he called on Collis r. Huntington and showed him rare copy of book.
 "rhere are two volumes of this, said MT. Miller. "Ths other volume is In perfect order, as you see this one is. You cannot possibly let them escape you, for you know you have nothing like this in your library" "what Is the price?' asked the rail- road king.
 Seven hundred dollars" said the bookman.
 Those are too valuable volumes fol my library" Mir. Huntington ex' claimed.
 Mir. Miller went back to his place and sent the books to Mir. Hunting tons house with bill for $700. Nexl day the railroad king sent for him. "Why did you send me those booksT he demanded sharply
 Because you bought them,' wal the bookrnan's calm reply

Rarely in the past history of the city has Bisbee been able to show so clean bill of health as at present. Not a case of contagious disaese at present exists there. This was the gist of tho report of the city health officer, Dr. Hgan, rendered at the last council meeting. During the month of January there were eleven births, six deaths and five cases of contagious diseases in the city. In each case the disease was the same, scarlet fever, all of which have been discharged as cured.
