ANTI-A8ERICAK FEELING
Is RIFF IN NOGATEE

NOgales, Ariz., Feb. S.-Antf-Ameri-
can feeling on both sides Of the lines
here took form yesterday in offers OF
a volunteer military organization made
to the Sonora state government. A Sc
cret order of Mexicans is said to have
sprung up in anticipation Of interven-
ton by the United States.
The leaders received a severe rebuHIe
from governor MaytOrena. who was
preached with a request to furnish 500
rifles Three Mexican railroad men OF
NOgales. Son. signed the request for
the rifles. They also approached Col.
Emilio KOsterlitzlSy. commander Of the
state rural police. He likewise spurned
the offer.
A plan to dynamite public buildings
on the American side as retaliation for
intervention is said to have been on
foot Mexican authorities declare they
will take immediate steps TO crush the
efforts of the agitatOrs.

FOFtifyinE the Canal
In view Of the ready willingness to
cOncede our right to fOrtify and de-
fend the canal it is interesting to
look back over the debates in congress
over the construction of the treaty
when the question of terrifying the
canal was up. At that time there was
a very strong, patriotic and intellig ent
minority in congress who insisted that
the United States had no right to for
tify the canal They asserted that IL
the treaty meant anything it meant
that the canal should be neutral. and
that the Warships Of all nations, in
war as in peace, should be permitted
to use it. They asserted that England
would and probably would rightfully
oppose our determination to fortify
the canal and close il to our enemies
in case Of war. Their arguments came
near winning. Today England con-
ceded everything the fortificatiOnists
ever asked. Was it a concession of
right, Of generosity, OF of assumed
necessity

At Eastbourne, says an English
paper, resides a woman probably
without an equal in the country. She
was born minus arms yet she can do
almost anything with her feet. Her
name is Mrs. PIERCE of Tower street,
and recently she attended a dinner
given to the old people of the town
by the local lodge of Buffaloes.
She surprised everybody present
by placing her feet upon the table,
and picking up the knife and fork
with marvellous dexterity commenced
to enjoy the feast. She manipulated
the knife and fork quite as well as
any ordinary person would with her
hands, and although she looked very
uncomfortable with her feet on the
table. she was quite at ease.
One had to look very closely to
discern that Mrs. PIERCE was actual
ly using her feet, and had any one
been looking round and had not
known of her infirmity. they would
