SENATE NIGHT SESSION.
The Agricultural Bill Put Out of the
 Way.

Washington, D. C., Feb. 26.-After an entire day devoted to discussing the forestry provision of the agri- cultural appropriation bill, the senate tonight passed the measure. The senate rejected the increase of $500,- 900 in the appropriation for the for estry service as recommended by the committed Senator Carter's amend
 ment to reduce the forestry appro- priation from s3,9S6, 900 as passed by the house to S3,16O,OOO, was laid on the table by a vote of 32 to 26.
 During the discussion of the bill Senator Teller called attention to the denunciation made against men who had cut timber on the public lands in the mining districts. He declared that the timber had been cut legally and had yielded the government in precious minerals many times the

The o'NeiIl Classification Bill.

The O'Nenl bill classifying the raA- roads for the purpose of fixing pas senger fares, which it was thought the day before would be indefinitely post poned, was brought up for final pas sage.
 When MT. Goodrich was reached, he explained his vote in opposition to the bill. He was satisfied that the bill was in contravention of the Hepburn law, whose authority over rates in the territory was exclusive and supreme; that the only result of the proposed legislation would be annoying litiga- tion for which the territory would ul- timately have to pay. The law. he was sure, could never be enforced. He believed that the legislature had gone to the limit of it's authority in the pas sage of the railway commission bill
 For the same reasons Mir Hampton said he would oppose the bill. It was more important that the legislature should not do useless and expensive things than that it should indulge in grand-stand plays.
 The bill was passed by the following vote:
 Ayes-Breen. Burns, Day. Morgan, O'Neill, St Charles, Weedin, the presi- dent-S.

The Name Agreed Upon Alter
 aFsPce WPang|e THE SEGREGATION BILL
Swept Through the Assem- ply Like a Prairie Fire. The Passage of the Rail- road Classification and
 Fare Bill by the Council.

Its name is Greenlee. the new county that was cut off from Graham yester- day, under the agreement which had been reached the day before between the Hill folk and the reluctant Valley folk The terms of the agreemnt had been put into an amendment offered by MT. Hampton of the council to the division bill which had been introduced by MT. Finley. It was ruled that the amendments could not be attached in time to bring the bill to action yester- day, and late in the day a new bill covering the agreement was brought into the house.
 Instead of Lincoln, it christened the new county Greenlee, after old Mace Greenlee, the first prospector who ever explored that country and after whom that rich mining district has long been called. The name was satisfactory to the people of both factions. but when it was brought before the council, it did not please Councilman O'Neill or the republican members of the council. who had heard about Lincoln county so much that they had got used to the name and would have no other.
 A filibuster over it was instituted and call after call of the house was demanded until long after dark. Final ly the name was accepted and the bill was passed. As has been stated, it will not become effective until Janu- ary 1, 1911, but the officers of the new county will be chosen at the next gen eral election. The new county will as sume all the indebtedness of Graham county-S146,0 The amended bill al so gives Greenlee county a little less area than the first bill contemplated.
 House Bill No. i.
 The first bill introduced into the house in the present session was made ready yesterday to be sent to the gov ernor It was Bailey's primary cleo ton bill, a most comprehensive meas ure.
 Both houses long after dark yester- day adjourned over today to accept the invitation of the Phoenix Real Es- tate Board to go on an excursion to Granite Reef.
 The adjournment of the house car ries it over until Monday afternoon at 1 o'clock. The council will reconvene in the morning at 10.

DEMOCRATS
 CHOKED OFF And SundPy Civil Bill Pushed Through the House THE TENNESSEE MERGER
A Vain Attempt to Mingle That With the Ship Subsi- dy Measure-A Committee
 Appointed On Mir. Cooks s
 Anti-Presidential Remarks.

Washington, D. C., Feb. 26-After dragging along for a week the sundry civil appropriation bill, carrying 100000 was passed by the house tonight with many material amend ments. The debate at times was very warm. 4 rule brought in by Mir. Dalzell, making it in order for a majority to pass a bill under a suspension of the rules, instead of two thirds, aroused the democrats un- der the leadership of MT Williams to criticise the appropriation committee for not affOrding, as was charged, more time to study the supply bills This led to an incipient filibuster.
 resolution was adopted appoint ing a committee of five to report whether or not the remarks of Mir. Cook of Colorado, delivered yester- day, attacking the president, should be expunged from the record.
 The ship subsidy bill was reached and conference reports on the penal code and the diplomatic and consular appropriation bills were presented. The conference reports on the Dis trict of Columbia and the Indian ap- preparation bills were agreed to. The naval appropriation bill again was re- turned to conference.
 While considering the sundry civil appropriation bill, an amendment by Mir. Bartlett of Georgia, directing the attorney general to prosecute the United States Steel Corporation for absorbing the Tennessee Coal and Iron company, and appropriating S50.- 900 for that purpose, was ruled out of order on point of order by MT. Tawney in the house today.
 A practically similar amendment offered by MT Hitchcock of Nebraska was held to be in proper form and a point of order against it by MT. Tawney was Overruled. The amend ment was lost by S1 to 113. Later the conference report on the diplo- matic and consular appropriation bill was agreed to. Following the passage of more than 300 private pension bills, the house at 10:33 D. m. recess ed until Il o'clock tomorrow.

.RuInOr of Which Was Warrant
 For His Murder DEFENSE IN COOPER CASE
On That Report the Father and Son Armed Them selves and Set Out to As certain If It Really Was a Fact.

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 26.-The ninth day of actual testimony in the trial of the Coopers and John D. Sharp charged with murdering former United States Senator F. w. Carmack. was marked by bitter argument between opposing counsel. and closed with a decided advantage for the defense.
 At the same time an interesting law point was decided by Judge Hart.
 The defense offered proof that Col onel Cooper was told by Edward Craig, whom the colonel had sent to see Sen ator Carmack, that Carmack was in an ugly humor" The case of the de- fense was based really upon this ex- pression, for Colonel Cooper and Robin Cooper both testified that when they armed themselves they were led to be- lieve from the rmark that Carmack might attack the colonel.

A JAP JOURNALIST
 GOT BEYOND LIMIT
Indicted for lnflamine the Laborers of Hawaii.

Honolulu. Feb. 26.-Y. Suga, editor of the Nippu Jiji, local Japanese newspaper, which for some weeks has waged a virulent campaign. urging a strike of the Japanese plantation la borers, and went so far as to advocate that all Japanese leave the islands if their demands are not granted, has been indicted by the grand jury as a dangerous and disorderly person be- cause of the jnflammatory articles.
 Suga's paper recently endorsed the sentiments of a Hilo publication that the Japanese in the islands ought to ask the government of Japan to send warships to Hawaii to back up the demands of the plantation laborers.

ONLY TWO VACANT PLACES
 IN CALHOUN JURY BOX
The Attorneys on Both Sides Getting in Hurry.

San Francisco. Feb. 26.-When the trial of Patrick Calhoun adjourned un- til next Monday. late today. a record had been established in the number of taiesmen examined as to their quail ifications to serve as jurors.
 Twenty-seven citizens were interro- gated and discharged during the day and. with one or two exceptions. all were possessed of opinions tending to convince them of the guilt or inno- cence of the defendant.
 In several instances the opposing at torneys engaged in spirited exchanges that terminated only upon the inter- vention of the court, but in general there was an apparent disposition to expedite the process through which it is hoped to fill the two vacant places in the jury box.

Bigelow of this city. Bigelow re- tires from the copper mining field, with which he has been identified for many years.
 The Calumet company thus secures about 125, 900 shares of stock of the Bigelow companies, for which it pays $S. .O00. .000
 The litigation over the transfer of 22611 shares of Osceola stock, which Bigelow has prosecuted, will be dropped and the courts will be asked to vacate the injunction granted a year ago.

The House Session.

The morning session of the house witnessed the introduction of two bills one by MT. Moore, appropriating S5,0OO for territorial exhibit at the Alaska Yukon Seattle Exposition. This was afterward indefinitely postponed. By MT. DeSouza, a bill establishing an eight-hour day for employees in laundries.
 The greater part of the morning ses- sion was consumed by the committee of the whole, which, when it rose, rec commended the passage of the Weedin council bill fixing an eight-hour day for hoisting engineers and furnace men employed about mines. This bill had been amended so as to exempt small mine owners from it's provisions.
 Bailey's bill relating to the printing of election ballots, in form of the Colo rado law. was reported without recOm- mendation.
 long discussion ensued over the Peterson bill proposing to increase the road tax to $3, and the bill was un- favorably recommended.
 The committee on judiciary returned favorable report on the Bailey bill to amend the regulations for admission to the bar by removing the require ment that the applicant for examina- ton shall have taken a prescribed law course. His examination shall disclose his fitness to practice.
 Then came the Hightower bill and its passage An invitation was pre- sented by MT Woolf from the citizens of Tempe to a banquet at a conven- tent date. A petition was received from large number of ladies of Nav ajo county urging favorable action on the woman's suffrage bill. The Afternoon. The afternoon session was devoted generally to the passage of bills or ! other disposition of them but every move tended to the clearing of the deck The bill relating to the sales of dry goods in bulk was passed. The ob- ject of this measure is to prevent the | defrauding of creditors by selling stocks of merchandise. The bill pro- vides that when any one wishes to dispose of a stock, he must make pub lication of that fact.

WENT WITH A WHlRl,
The Segregation Local opton Bill
 Through the House.

The expected happened yesterday, but in an unexpected manner House bill IO9, for the segregation of towns and counties, in effect repeating the Pace local option bill, was passed by the assembly within four days after its introduction, by the decisive vote of Is to :. It had been plain from the beginning that there had been re- versal of sentiment in the assembly on this subject, and especially on the question of a segregation of cities and towns in local option elections. but it was not supposed that the revulsiOn of sentiment had been so great that the Hightower bill could be advanced un der a suspension of the rules.
 This bill was included among those reported from the judiciary commit tee a little before noon, but there was <no accompanying recommendation.
 NIT. Sutter at once moved suspen sion of the rules, and the placing of the bill on final passage. The roll call disclosed a failure of the motion, but before the announcement of the result. Speaker Webb directed his vote to be changed to aye" The bill was read the third time, and the first de- bate on the prohibition question en- sued. The Pace bill had, curiously, passed so suddenly under the pressure of it's opponents that it's friends were denied the privilege of oratory.
 MT DOan attacked the Hightower bill as an iniquitous measure, designed to repeal the Pace bill and all other local option legislation under the gulse of fairness to the cities and towns, but the friends of prohibition there were so hedged about that they could hard Iy avail themselves of the act.
 He especially objected to the require ment that petitions for local option elections must be signed by twenty five per cent of the voters. and in the case of an incorporated town, by majority of the common council in
Arizona republican., 1909-02-27

to twenty-five per cent of

addition to twenty-five per cent of the voters.
 MT. Sutter replied, defending the fairness of the measure in that it pro- tected towns and cities from outside interference in matters of it's own financial and moral concern. Mir Shaw found in the bill means of suppressing the saloon business in mining camps which, under the exist ing law, would be helpless.
 Mir. Woolf spoke at length against the bill. He did not believe that it would be held valid on account of its provision for artificial divisions, which the district court of Maricopa county and the supreme court of the territory hald held could not be established.
 MT. Woolf reulied to MT Sutter's financial arguments in favor of the bill. saving that the burden of expense incident to the liquor traffic in a town was imposed upon the whole county, thus giving to the country districts a right to be heard
 Strong speeches were made by MT. Pace against the bill, and by MT. Duffy for it. Others in behalf of the bill were Messrs. Hogwood and Hall, and Messrs. DeSouZa, Merrill and Peterson against it.
 The debate was closed by MT. High tower. the author of the bill. who said that his sentiments were against the liquor traffic. He wished that things might be so arranged that Ee could not get at intoxicating drinks. But he had something more to consider than his own welfare. There were the interests of his constituents to be look ed after. and they would best be served by the continuance of the liquor busi- ness.
 Therefore" said MT. Hightower I'll support this bill if have to stay drunk all the time"
 Mir Doan moved for the reference of the bill to the whole committee on the ground that no opportunity had been given for amendment. This mo- ton was defeated by a vote of l5 to s.
 Then the bill went to final passage with the following result:
 Ayes-Bailey. Bray. Coalter, Duffy, Hall. Hightower. HogwoOd, Moore, Morris. Mccormick, Reed. Roberts. Shaw, Sutter. Tobey. the speaker-16.

THE SECURITY MARKET,
Dun Thinks, Is Not a Reflection of
 General Conditions.

New York, Feb. 26.-Dun's Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say: Although the cuts in steel add some confusion to the existing weakness in the iron and copper trade. and have brought about a sharp decline in the security market yet the reassertiOn of the law of supply and demand, with its inevitable readjustments of prices and, perhaps. wages, must prove ulti- mately helpful to the business situa- tiOn, however disturbing the immedi- ate effects. Outside of the area of disturbance caused by this develop ment, the movement of general trade is practically unchanged.
