LONDON GREATLY INTERESTED
 IN THE NAVAL FLEET.

LONDON, July 21.-It is estimated that nearly half a million Londoners have visited the great naval fleet since the vessels dropped anchor in the Thames at Southend the first of this week. The great battleship Dreadnought has been the chief cen ter of the attraction for the crowds. Yesterday the lord mayor and the cor poration of London paid an official wis it to the fleet and today the visit was returned by a body of more than 1000 sailors. The sailors arrived at the Liverpool street station and were en- Enthusiastically cheered by enormous crowds as they marched along the Embankment and through the Strand and Fleet street to the Guild hall where they were greeted by the lord mayor and other official representa- tivcs of the city of London.

rection of the jail. Maybe it was the pratter of a monkey, the roaring of a lion or the hiss of a reptile. but all the time it was noise, which gave him creepy sensations and caused him to duck his head beneath the covers.
 Despite the peaceful suggestion of Felciaro's name, the authorities are agreed that anyone who thinks him self COW may at any moment charge upon someone. or bite when he thinks himself a dog, or-horrors!-swe when he thinks himself parrot. So a lunacy charge will be preferred against Paz. and nice little trip on the cars to Phoenix probably will be his portion soon.

LIGHTNING STRIKES
 TUCSON HOUSE

TUCSON, July 21.-During rain storm a bolt of lightning struck the roomipg house of James Twigg on South Fifth avenue near Thirteenth street, partially destroying a chim- ney and knocking a number of shingles oil the roor.
 Alarmed by the binding flash and the terrific crash which followed the lightning, the occupants of the house ran excitedly into the street.
 Fortunately .. roof of the house did not catch fire. The damage done amounts to a considerable item.
 The lightning storm was the heav- fest of the season and there were a number of sharp flashes. So far as could be learned the Twigg home was the only one struck, however.
 The rainfall was quite heavy and served to cool the atmosphere. When the rain commenced to fail the mer- cury in the thermometer dropped rap idly and within a quarter of an hour aad fallen Is degrees.

CONDUCTORS NOT IN
 IElEGRAPHfR'S STRIKE

I.L PASO, July 21.-The condun urs on the National lines of Mexicc will not join the dispstchers of that system In strike. is the opinion of . Mexican Central conductor who had an active part in the recent trouble between the management and the con dnctors.
 We fought our own battle through without the assistance of the dispatch. CTS" he said, "and I can see no req. son why we should be under obliga- tions to help them in their fight Our trouble has been settled and every thing is running along smoothly, so we are not anxious to jeopardi&e our situations to assist in a matter which does not concern us."
 When his attention was called to the report that Vice Pres dent Curtis of O. R. c has been called to Mexico in connection with the trouble with the dispatchers, tho conductor said Mr- Curtis presence at the scene of the trouble was probably more for the purpose of preventing the order from becoming entangled fin the dis pute than to get 1t mixed up with the trouble. There are some hot heads among the conductors who are not quite satisfied with their present rela. tions with the company, and for that matter are never satisfied" he said but I am confident that a large ma jority of the men are opposed to go ing to the fight with the dispatchers, and I do not believe they will do so"
 This conductor has been in service in Mexico for several years, and prob. ably knows the sentiments Of the men as well as any conductor in the re rrhlfn

Barks as a Dog, Moos as a Cow-SleepIess Night for
 Many

DOUGLAS. July 21-(Special.)- Initiating the cries of every domes- Ic animal known to domesticity, ev- ny wild animal known to the wilder ness and the songs of all the song Jirds, with now and then discordant Jote which John Igo takes to be the wan song of some near-extinct ami nal specimen falling before the un- srr.ng aim of the Mighty Hunter in
 he unfaked jungles, Feliciano Paz, ill local authorities agree, is the most perfect specimen of the genus boob mconfined in the territorial hatch. And that institution. yclept insane asylum, will soon claim Feliciano un- less he shall brace up and cut out the nature faking. Anybody can tell that he is not a COW, and by the same token it is known he Is not a dog, neither is he a wambat ora guggle- gut; therefore, judging hin not by the noises he makes but by his ap- rearance, he is a man, and if a mar he is due a little trip to rnoenix.
 All last night habitues of the dis .rict about the county hoicover were -udely disturbed by raucous animal noises. First they could hear the L,& mooing. as of COW coming OCT 'he lea, Maude. with this changing shortly to the sharp barking of dog. "A shepherd dog is bringing home the kine," thought a quick-witted near sleeper. thus rudely disturbed.
 The noise of the COW and dog ceased and then followed a fierce trumpet ing as of a maddened elephant. Must be circus unloading" thought the near-sleeper as he turned over for an other attempt.
 Then something else broke loose It was as if all the parrots and cocka- toos of the tropics had been collect ed in one cage. with love birds. jay birds and plain old woodpeckers thrown in Tor property effects. Evi. dentiy the bird club was in session for such a claftering the near-sleeper had never heard before. It had a meeting of suffragettes looking like a prayer meeting at the deaf and dumb institute.
 Finally th's noise was heard no more and quiet for time reigned. But ever and anon during the waking hours of the near-sleeper did he hear strange noises coming from the a.

COL. GREENE'S DEBTS TO BE SETTLED

CHIHUAHUA. July 21.-The set clement of the local debts of Col W. c. Greene's companies. the Sierra Madre Land and Lumber company and the Greene Gold-Silver company. is still langnishing. Settlement of the former concerns debts is expected when the formal and legal transfer of the company-s property is made to Dr. F. s. Pearson's Mexico and North western Railway company, although that transfer has already been made practically. The date of settlement of these claims is expected about the latter part of next month.
 IL is a notable fact, and general. ly felt here, that the state authorities the mercantile and labor interests and the public generally treated Col. Greene and the enterprises which he tried to establish in this state well, and that all local creditors ought to be paid As a general rule 1t can be said that the judgment of the pub lie has been held in suspense to give him and his representatives every chance to make good. If they do ev- erybody in this city and state will be glad and every one is hoping to be able to so express himself
 There is no denying the fact that ever since the advent of Col. Greene and his companies in this state the mode of conduct of his affairs by some of his representatives subjected them and him to severe criticism, but Col Greene is still well liked here per sonally and everybody hopes that he will be able to clear up all his obliga- tions. As far as the Greene Gold-Sil- yer company is concerned. the feeling locally is that there is no apparent effort being made by any one to liqui. date it's local debts.

|RATTlESNAKE FOUND | IN WATER BUCKET

TEMPE. July 2l.-Were it not tor the excellent reputat on that F. H. Simmons bears, readers of the follow ing yarn might have reason to sus- pect that Mir. Simmons had fallen from grace and had formed the habit of seeing things. It is a snake story, of course, but MT. Simmons took the precaution to remove from the rep tile, its rattles which he holds as proof of it's existence and death.
 Mir. Simmons went to the well to get drink of water. He pulled up the bucket as usual. but when it neared the top. he saw at a glance that the bucket contained something else beside water. A large sized rat tier had taken temporary quarters in the bucket and was prepared to re- sent its disturbance. ,
