BEVERiDGE'S fREACHERY

Washington dispatch: Ill feeling over the attitude which the senate has assumed toward the statehood bill has not subsided. The state hood advocates seem to hold Sena- tor Beveridge of Indiana, the chair man of the committee on territo- rias, principally responsible for the situation as it now exists. Several of them took hold of the charges which were made before the com mittse and are having an analysis made of them.
 It is understood Governor Curry has sent word here that he wants the charges submitted to him, and that he courts the most sweeping investigation. His friends here have been trying to get at the charges in an official way, but with compara- lively little success.
 Senator Beveridge had a resolu- tion providing for summer inves- tigation of conditions in New Mex ico and Arizona and which he tried to get through the senate. He wanted an opportunity, but was just as eagerly watched by Senator Owen of Oklahoma, member of his committee. It developed that Senator Owen was prepared to sub- stitute for the Beveridge resolution motion to take the statehood bill from the committee. He had cir culated word of his intention very industriously on the minority side of the chamber and had a goodly attendance. not only of demncrats but of republicans. who favored statehood.
 This was the situation when the republican leaders heard of the Owen plan and that he was receiv- ing co operation from Senators For aker, Carter, and Curtis of the re- publicans. The democrats well comed anything that would aid in the fillibuster they were conducting against the penal code bill and the republicans were in lilly yelled sym" pathy with them. It was feared, however, that the situation would become so complicated by letting the statehood matter get into the legislative hopper that Senator Bev- eridge was urged to withdraw his resolution. The Indiana senator was the more willing to do this a. he learned that a severe denuncia tion of himself and his action III connection with the handling of U statehood matter in his committee was in contemplation.

THE TERRITORIAL FAIR

There seems to be some uneasi- ness on account of the future of the territorial fair. It is reported that there is a disposition among some of the members of the legislature to withhold any further support of this enterprise by the territory. This would greatly iniure the fair, it fact it would practically end it as an enterprise which would at tract any attention outside of the territory.
 We believe that the people of the territory regard the fair as an en- terprise which has in the past given to the territory much advantageous prominence and advertising; it has brought to the territory some of the best speed horses in the country and it has brought with these horses their owners who are prominent in other sections of the country. Not only has the fair been beneficial in bringing the territory into promi- hence away from home, but it has been the cause of stimulating the efforts to produce fine stock in every .ao.f1- xlo ko,,;k@,-
 There have been three territorial fairs held on the grounds near Phoe- nix since the enterprise was pro- vided by the legislative appropria tion and each returning one has .,e-,, larger and uore successful tser .a .t c"a.-, ,r Fac,i oi these -i8s,, h*vs dfawo trg crow.is from nome and abroad. 'Hne cost to the territory has beer small in compar- ison with the benefits which it has brought to Arizona and it is hoped that any opposition to she contin- uance of the fair or to it's liberal support will disappear when the time comes for caring for it in the appropriation bill.
 Not only should there be an ap- propriation for the continuance of the fair, but certainly the deficiency which has been incurred in the maintenance of the fair to the pres snt time should be promptly paid. The deficiency of $40OO, we under stand, was for repairs on the grounds, which were absolutely nec- essary for the success of the last fair. The commissioners. no doubt. felt that if they failed to expend this money they would be severely criticised by the people of the terri tory, who have shown 30 much in. terest in the enterprise.
 Since the aooVe was Tn type, the following article on the subject ap- peared in the Phoenix Republican,: There is some misapprehension regarding the territorial fair appro. priation. we judge, from comments by citizens who failed to notice any item relating to it in the regular supply bills. The fact is that the fair is taken care of by the law cre- ating it. The appropriation runs along year after year, automati- cally, so to speak, and can be stopped only by a repeal of the law, of which there is no imme- diate danger"

MOORS ARRIVE With SLAVES
TO REPRESENT MOROCCO AT
HuDsoN-Fu1ToN CELEBRATION.
Had Never Seen a Railroad Train
and Are Delighted Beyond
Measure.

NEW YORK. September 29.-After the
arrival of the three delegates of the Sui
tan of Morocco and their suite. composed
Of SOME seven slaves, at the Hotel Astor
yesterday some new adjectives had to be
Invented TO describe how cosmopolitan
the Hudson-F Fulton celebration is making

These desert chiefs with the exception
OF one OF the delegates, had never been
in a train before they came down from
Boston yesterday. where they had land
ed from the steamship Canopic. They
had ridden on horseback for 40. miles to
catch this boat. From the moment they
landed in Boston everything was new to
them and they iairly shouted with delight
when they saw the advertisement of
certain cigarette company which depicts
an eastern girl in baggy trousers smoking
a cigarette. That, at least, was
familiar sight.
When they walked into the Astor with
their gay burnouSeS hung from their shout
ders and their red feZes. the emissaries Of
his sheridan majesty Mulah Abdul Ha-
med almost created a stampede. Hardly
. any other party with the possible excep-
tion of Prince Kuni's has brought such
suite or created such an effect as these
Moors did when they walked through the
corridor.

SURE OF CONTINUED SUCCESS.
Harbor Police Precinct Receivers
It's Mascot,

There is rejoicing at the harbor police
precinct over the recovery of its mascot.
Several weeks ago Lieut.. Sutton of the
harbor precinct was presented with a
handsome collie dog, which was at once
adopted by the men at the station and
placed on the rolls as Miss Mascot. She
was a we'll behaved pup. and every one
liked her and petted her. She had a
sharp head and bright eyes, with a
breadth between them that denoted in
teiligence.
Well cared for, Miss Mascot lived a
life of ease. but being of wandering
disposition. she disappeared one day in
the early part of this week. An alarm
was sent out and the animal was sought
all over the city. 1t was thought that
some one had captured her and carried
her away, and she would never be seen
again. Yesterday, however, it was found
that stray collie was over on the Poto-
mac Park, at the Agricultural Depart
ment farm. and Policeman OSterman, the
