Torchlight Procession Honors the New Governor’s Ap- pointment. Skatch of the Career of the Man Nominated as Arizona’s Chief Executlive. PH@ENIX. Argrz, May 19.—The news came from Washington early this morn- ing that Myron H. McCord had been ap- pointed Governor of Arizona and Charles Akers 8 cretary of the Terrltory. In spite of the fierce und prolonged struggle made against the appointment of McCord by at least half of the Republican varty of the Territory, there is general re- joicing to-night and every evidence of harmony in the party. T e straets of Pheenix are ablaze with bonfires, and the torchlight procession isgreater than those of last fail. N. A. Morford, who led the home fight against McCord, declares his allegiance to the new Governor, believes that the ap- pointment will harmonize the warring factions in the Republican party and that McCord will make an able executive officer. Charles H. Akers, the new Secretary of the Territory, is a well-known Prescott man whose appointment gives general satisfaction. At the ratification meeting held to-night there were present representatives of all the hitherto warring factions, and all of them expressed their desie to bury the batchet. It is believed that ex-Governor Hughes, under whose brief and troublesome ad- ministration McCord held an important office, will be tendered a similar position by the new Governor. It is generally be- lieved that the President knew the fate of his nominations in the Senate before he made them, and that McCord will be speedily confirmed. Myron H. McCord is the original Me- Kinley man of Arizona, and at one time served in Congress with the man who is now President. He was born in McKeun County, Pa., November 26, 1840, and in the public schools of that county received his aducation. He engagea in the lumber business in 1854, locating at Shawano, Wis., where he remained until 1874 He subsequently removed to Merrill, in that State, where he engaged in the manufacture of sash, doors and bitnds most successfully until 1884, when he became a banker ana was one of the organizers of the First National ctor in the same. During the years 1873, '74, '75 and 80 and ’'81, he was a member of the Wisconsin Legisla- ture, and in 1883 he was elected from the onsin a member of one term. 1In 1893 he came to Arizona and located | at Pheenix, where he engaged in farming and fruit-raising, which still continue to claim his attention. He owns a fine ranch and has fifty acres in fruit. In March, 1895. he was appointed citizen-member of the Board of Control, and had charge in part of the charifgble, penal and reforma- tory institutions of the Territory. Mr. Mctord is a thirty-second degree Mason and a member of the Mystic Shrine. | DO NOT WANT HAWALL | Marquis Ito at V.ctoria Talks Politics, Tariff and Friendship in Relation to Th.s Country. VICTORIA, B. C, May 19.—Marquis Ito, who arrived from Japan on the steamer Empress cf India, spent all yes- terday at the quarantine station. He is accompanied by Tosada, Marquis Kido and 8. Tokiokia of the imperial house- hold, and goes to London as adviser to | Prince Arisugawa, special Japanese envoy : to the Queen’s jubilee. Speaking of the reports that Japan seeks | to annex Hawaii, Ito denies this emphat- ically. He said: “If the Hawaiian Gov- ernment should offer us the islands we would refuse them. They are too far away to be of any use tous. B sides, Japan wishes to be on friendly term< with the United States, and the Washington Gov- ernment wounld be certain to regard our taking possession of the isiands as an un- | friend'y act. ~We have, however, certain {reaty rights and we propose to see that they are respected,’”” he continued. *The | people of America do not understand the | Japanese people.

Suit for a Legal Separation Brought by a Ninety-Year-0d Niece of 0/d Chief Seattie. TACOMA, WasH., May 19.—There was a sensation in the Superior Court to-day when Mary Seattle, said to be a niecs of old Chief Seattle, apveared to testify in a divorce suit she has broucht against John Seatile, her spouse. Interest was height- ened by the fact that both parties are nearing the century mark, the defendant being over 90 years old. John married the widow Seattle five years ago, and afier a stormy experience of two years went back to his own ranch, consisting of eighty acresof valuable valley land, which Mra, Seattle wants given to her. Her com- plaint alleges cruel treatment and failure to provide, which John’s answer denies in vigorous white-man fashion. Mrs. Seattle spont most of the day on the stand, and assisted by an interpreter detailed the ntter worthlessress of her last lord and master. She testified that he never did anything for the suoport o1 the family, but that he did buy the groceries, bring up the wood, catch the salmon and dig the potatoes. From the evidence it appears that there have peen numerous cases in various courts of the county wherein either one or both of the Seattles have been engaged, and both seem to possess a mania for the excitement of the courts, with the knowl- edge that there will be the lawyers to pay. After carelnlly going ov-r the evi- dence, and asking many questions, Judge Kean announced that the charges were t00 general and supported by insuflicient evidence of crueliy to warrant a divorce. This was related 1o the Seattles, who shrugged their shoulders and walked out of the courtroom with stoic indifference, followed by an old Indian woman who bad been asleep on the courtroum floor. HORRIBLE FAMINE [N CHINA. Frovoked bp Starvation Into Insurrection, Many Were B:headed and Hundreds Are Killing Themselves. VANCOUVER, B. C., May 19.—A rising of indignant citizens, provoked by famine, against the law, has resulted in Chinese mandarins in Hupeh slicing alive Tang Kao and four other aristocrats, and cut- ting off the heads of six y of their follow- ers. ‘While Shanghai and, indeed, China generally, has been contributing with sreat liberality to the Indian famine, few people seem aware that there is a famine in China. Yet from Chung King in the west to Ichang in the east, all through the beautiful Yangtse gorges, a district famed in song and legend, peovle are dying of nunger. Even around Shasi, further east, they are famishing. At Chung King two months ago a hun- dred people a day were said to be dying of starvation and Living skeletons were walk- ing about begging in the streets and bodies lay dead on the river bank. Coun- try people crowded into the Vate of ‘Wanhsien to get something to eat. The conditions are more hopeless toward Kweichowfu and the gorges. About three miles from Kweifu two little boys were found out on the mountain side getting grass to eat. The town was full of people begging rice, but_there was no rice to be bought at any price and nothing to eat at all. Nearly all the people were taking opium for the purpose of kiliing them- selves. Many of these peopie have money and there is lots of rice, but the drought bas dried up the rivers acd the rice can- not be got to them. S o Redwood City’s Native Dawughters.

A Pathetic Incident of One of the Bat- tles of the Civil War, William Wilkerson, who was for many years jailer at Fayette County, and who was noted for his fidelity to truth, related the following pathetic incident of heroism which he witnessed shortly after the bat- tle of Richmond, Ky., in 1862: ‘A son of my friend, Hon. Cassius M. Clay, was killed in the fight at Richmond, and it was my duty to visit the battletield to identify the body and take it to his father’s home. While riding slowly over the scene of the battle I heard groans, which I was sure came from a cornfield near at Land. Looking down the corn rows 1 soon discovered two wounded sol- diers lying about forty yards apart. One was a Federsl and the other was a Con- federate. A cannon ball had broken and terribly mangled both of the Confederate’s legs, while the Federal was shot through the body and thigh. “‘Iam dying for water,” I heard the Federal say just as [ discovered them. His words sounded as if they came from a parched mouth. “*I have some water in my canteen. You are welcome to a drink if you’ll come here,’ said the Confederate, who hsd feebly raised his head from the ground to look at his late enemy when he heard his pitiful ery for water. “/T couldn’t move to save my life,’ groaned the Federal, as he dropped his head to the ground, while his whole body quivered with agony. “Then I bebeld an act of heroism which held me spellbound antil it was too late for me to give the assistance I should have rendered. The Confecerate lifted his head again and took another look at his wounded foe, and I saw an expression of tender pity come over his pain-distorted face as he said: * ‘Hold out a little longer, Yark, and I'il try to come to you.’ Then the brave feliow, by digging bis fingers in the ground and catching hold of the cornstalks, painfaily dragged himself to the Federal's side, the blood from his mangled legs making a red trail the entire distance. The tears ran down my cneeks like rain, and, out of sympathy for him, I groaned every time he moved, but 1 was so lost to everything except the fellow’s heroism that I did not once think of helping him. “When the painful journey was finished he offered his canteen to the Federal, who took it and drank eagerly, the water seem- ing to sizzle as it passed down his parched throat. Then with a deep sigh of relief be reached out to the Confederate, and 1t was plain to see as they clasped hands and looked into each other’s eyes that whatever of hate may have rankled once in the hearts of these men had now piven place to mutual sympathy and love. Even while I watched them I saw the Confed- erate’s body quiver as if in a spasm of pain, and when his head dropped to tne ground I knew that a hero had crossed the dark river. Tme Federal kissed the dead hero’s hand repeatedly and cried like 8 child unti! I had him’ removed to the hospital, where be, too, uied the next day."”’—Lexington and L NEW TO-DAY—CLOTH'NG. i .
