PINGREE leatli of Michigan's Famous Ex-Governor .AST NIGHT IN LONDON L4 Man 'Who Cut an Important Figure in American Politics He Started as a Republican and Was Honest, but Developed Eccentricities Which Lodged Him With Strange Bed-Fellows. tondon, Juno lS.-rKx-Oov rnor Ilit- cn S. Plngree of Michigan, tiled here jionlght at 11 65. Ills on ns the only "no present nt tho time. Late this evening, Mr. Plngree, who Dud been I'l for several days, began Milking and It became evident that he would hardly .survive the night. A PICTURESQUE CHARACTER. Detroit. Mich., June IS. Hazen Sen ter Plngree was born In Denmark, Maine, In 1840. In 1S62 he enlisted In the First Massachusetts heavy artillery and served until the end of the war, when he located In Detroit, embarking lit the manufacture of shoes. In 1SS1) tie republican party nomlnaUd ex Covernor Plngree for mayor of Detroit and he was elected by over 2,000 ma Jjtlty. lie was re-elected In 1S91, 1S93 and 1S95 by Increased majorities each dm.. In 1S96 Mr. Pingrea was elected gov ernor of Mtihignn by 83,000 plurality, tunning ahead of the national ticket by IS.000 votes. He wus re-elected nover nor In 1900. Last March he started on .. trip to South Africa, which resulted In his leath In London. Governor Plngnee was one of, the most picturesque public characters of lecent years. Having become Inde pedent as a manufacturer, he d vot'tl himself to isolltlcs not,' If, Is gsnorally Relieved, to gratify a psrsona! a'mbl ion, but to better the condltlona of, the masses. Ho was originally a re publican, but he developed tendencies toward socialism, and at last grew Into sympathy with populism and demcc ra.y as advocated by Mr. Ilryan. , o THROUGH TRAIN SERVICE "All Aboard for Quayraas" Will Soon Sound Familiar. The directors of the board of trail? held a very important meeting last evening. It was ljniortant principally for the reason that the first matter un der consideration was the proposed ex tension of the Guaymas through train service from Tucson to l'hoenix, and that to far as the enterprise has been followed all reports ar? favorable. AV. C. Foster, chairman of tho committer delegated by the Isoard to call upon Mr. II F Porter, superintendent of the M. & P railroad, and learn the attitude of that company relative to the srr- 1 e, made his report. He s.ald that Mr. Porter had agreed to lay the mat ter Ijefore the officials of the M. fc P. & S. R, V. company In San Francisco and to add his endorsement of the pro posed service. It had been previously understood that Col. Epe? Randolph, perlntendent of the Arizona and New Mexico division of the Southern Pa- if!?, favored the plan, but the secre tary of the board was Instrutted to v rite him urging blr. co-operation In the matter. What that service means for this val ley can hardly be estimated, though my one taking the trouble to study he map and the conditions for a few minutes 'an readily see that it means 'he opening up of a great market and a much closer Interchange with a re gion now to wme extent tributary. It is a matter for congratulation that all parties concerned now seem to be so ravorably dls.posed toward the Innug- ratlon of this train service. The monthly bills of this board were audited and allowed, after which a ast amount of correspondence In th hands of the secretary was taken up nil disposed of The fln-t was a series f letters from congi esses whl"h asked for delwates to meetings to be held during the summer. The International Mlnlnfe congress, which meets at liolse 'lty July 23-24-2C. said the board was ntltled to live delegates. The National Municipal League asked for delegates, out as Its object Is tho furtherance of a political rystcm the board decided not to co-operate. A letter was read from the National Irrigation associa tion announcing that tho advisory hoard would meet In Buffalo next Sep 'cmber. The letter war- referred to Mr P.. A. Fowler. A letter was tecelved from the soc- 'tary of the Trans-Mlsslssippi con re:t, which meets In Cripple Creek July ICth-lOtli, and announcing that all rade organizations wer? entitled to me delegate and one additional for ach llfty members. The matter. was par.ced for the present. The alxive correspondent Is referred o in some detail for the- reason that ongresses will be held all over the 'oiinlt'y during the summer,- Including 'ho above, and the board probably will not have funds to Mini delegates to many If they do to any of them. Any representative cltlvsen . who may 'be traveling In tlf direction of any of 'best congresses pan undoubtedly r- ure credentials, help his town and ' rrHory and gain some personal dis tinction. These congresses aro com- posed of the men who build cltlef and are good places to ndvcttlse. A number of letters were also road Inst night on matteis pert'ilnlng to the advertising of tin? valley, and they were all referred to the advertising commit tee. Among them were some very fa voiable ones and n!i;o some responses ftom territorial points which will 1ielp lu the work. Then- was one letter of Inquiry front a Wisconsin man who wanted Informa tion regarding the feasibility of start ing a canning factory here. It was ro feired to the president and secretary for answer. A GHASTLY DIET. San Kranclsco, Juno IS. A Post spe cial from Camp Gage says:. "There was great commotion In camp this morning when the fact became known that meat talnUtl with tuberculosis had been dis covered In the kitchen of the regiment and had been confiscated and condemn ed. As it result of this discovery It Is probable that the division commissary will enter upon n new contract for meat and establish a more rigid quar antine against infected meat. o THE CASH REGISTER STRIKE.

'Mlt.3 Anna Rhodes, of New Brighton, Staten Island, New York, arrived here yesterday morning and will spend the summer in Phoenix, the guest of Mnjor and Mrs. J. H. McCllntock. Miss Rhodes., while violating the general custom followed by tourists, does not come to Phoenix In the summer time unadvisedly.

OUR STAY IN CUBA Troops May Have to Remain Another Year Many Steps Have to be Taken Before the United Stateii Can Withdraw The Piatt Amend ment Only a Starter. Washington, June IS. The utiqunll fid acceptance of the Piatt nmcndrrlent by the Cuban constitutional convention while grntlfylng to the administration i is recognizea as oniy me nrei mop oi many which must be taken before American 'troops can ba withdrawn from the Island und the Cuban gov ernment left, to Its own devlcps. First of all, the new constitution must be accepted by the people of Cuba, and nit election nitir.t b held. The constitution piovldes that ninety days after the promulgation of the Mctoral law by the constitutional con vention, the election of olIlceM shall lake place and the transfer of the gov ernment of Cuba to Minse who may Ise elected In conformity with tho order ,h? T"' States war department shall be made. That was In the origi nal draft of the convention, but It Is understood that some modification has been made. At any rate It will be at least three months before any substan tial, progress can be noted. The president and vice prer-ldent of the new republic are to be elected by the people, and the members- of th house of representatives, consisting of one for each 23.CO0 inhabitants, are also to be chosen by direct popular vote. The fenate Is to consjst of four sen ators from each province elected for a period of elglit yeartt by the provincial cauncllmen and double their number of "compromisers," tvho shall meet with them In electotal committee. Tho election of compromisers Is to tako place 1C0 days before tho election of senators. Right there Is another cause for de lay. It will be months, therefore, be fore the members of the new govern ment can b-1 elected and Installed In nlllce, and month'" more before the legislative, executive and Judicial ma chlnety can "be set in motion. Tho establishment of a permanent government under the constitution may not take pla"e for a year or more. It Is for the United Stntes to sty whn that stage, has !een .reached and when it v.' lit be safe' tn wlthdraw-trvior. In accordance with the tercn of the Plait amendment There may be some controversy be tween the (American and the Cuban authorities on the question of the date. The constitutional convention In Its draft of the constitution undertook to forestall the derision by announcing that the convention imt for the pur pose of agreeing on the adoption of a fundamental law, "whl.-h at the same time that It provides for the constitu tion in the sovereign and Independent nation of the people of Cuba, estab lishes, a solid and permanent form of government capable of complying with Its International obligations, Inourlng domestic tranquility, establishing Jus tice, promoting the genera! welfaie and guaranteeing the blessing of liberty to the Inhabitants." If that view of the case werei to be taken by the United States, then the action of the convention In adopting the Piatt amendment would be the slg nul for the immediate withdrawal of American control. Rut accoidlng to the view of the Unltfnl States admlnli trntlon II Is a far cry from the adop- tion of a conMltutlon to the "reatlon of a fta"j!" government In accordance with the provisions thereof. THE DEVILBISS DERBY And Other Things the Polico Eave to Do With. I OfHcer JrcFall savii there was another heat pulled off yesterday in the Devll blas derby. This time he enteted against Marshall Kinney. Kinney rub bed him close at the fln.t fittartcr, gained a little at the halt mile post, then giadually lost out. At Hit) finish he was distunced. The police force, though, still have hope of winning tho llnal heat when It comes to a show down. In thin sort of a race the last heat Is the one that take.' the mon"y. The force is now thoroughly organized nntl It Is quite likely that when Devll blpj shows up the next time he will face a relay sjstem such as was first dl.ieovered by watching- coyotes tun down Jack rabbits and later made fa mous by the pony, express. At any rate the least, he can do In r.elf defense Is I to get a fresh horse. Mr. I. L. Long (colored), whoso rela tions with one Dollle Tabor (white) wete nlluded to In yesterday's Issue through an action in police court giv ing publicity to their private affairs, held the center of the htago again yes terday. Long, It will be remembered, was accused of allowing himself to be tupported by the woman, but through nn arrangement with the oiricerri; In which he pledged his honor to teform and lend, a different life, he was dls m!sed with a minimum fine, which he pad. He made arrangements to go to Prescott with another colored man. The woman. It nppears, clso made ar rangements to go to Prescott, thus puncturing the reform notion that rtruck In on Long In police court. Tho trunkriof all three were sent to the de pot and the two men were there" a half hour before train time. But the wo man had not appeared. lying grew anxious and went lifter her, wireh r.he said she had changed her mind. The'lr ' conversation grew acrimonious and 1 ended in. the woman calllnp; for help. The ofllcers appealed nnd Jailed Lonpr on a misdemeanor charge. lie was convicted and sent:iccd to thirty days in jail. ' James Ryan and John Doc were both nrrer.ted for diunkenness. Each put up a four dollar hall bond and failed to appear. The cases were aslly settled. Manuel Rodrlgues was'drunk and dls oiderly and went to lall for twelve days, not having that many dollars with him. James Casey faced the same sort of a chaige, but It was decided ho had only broken tho peace about ten dollnis' worth. Not having the money he also went to Jail, o CLAIMS AGAINST TURKEY.

London, Junc IS. Cralg-y-Nos Cas tle, 'the Welsh residence f Adelini Pattl (Baroness Cederstiom), was sold at auction this afternoon for 45,000 pounds, after a dramatic scene, caused by a false bid of 50,000 pounds, which was the reserve price. A prominent! London auclloneer rpqned the bidding with an offer of 50, 000 pounds. No other offer was made and the p'ace was declared sold to him. The bidder turned very pale and declared that he didn't mean the offer seriously.

MAY FAVOR PANAMA The Canal Commission Recog nizes Its Merits The Nicaragua Route Will Almost Certainly be Recommended J3ut the Advantages of the Other Will be Pointed Out. v Washington, June 18. Within the next two or three weeks the final re port of the Isthmian Canal commis sion will be completed and will be handed to the president. The commis sion Is holding dally sessions wjth Its. engineers, getting the final figures into shape. When this report Is made public which may not be until next December, when the president sends it to congress It will correct some misunderstand ings about both the Nicaragua and the Panama routes. This commission was appointed to determine which of the two routes Is the better. It will con fine It -ell' strictly to a discussion of thrCt subject, and the Indlcallonn 'are that while it will lean toward tho Nic aragua route as being Uie better In many respects, , It will point ,out dis tinct advantages of the Panama route that have neon quite generally over looked by government ofTiclals and by the public. In the Nicaragua route there are some extensive engineering difficulties. The principal one is the dam that must be constructed uiwh the San Juan river. Even upon a. solid foundation the building of this dam would be a diffi cult and an cxtenc-lve undertaking: upon the shifty ground where it must be constructed the foundation alone will be the work of many months TJersons In n position to know say that If It were shown that a clear title can be had to the Panama canal from Its French owners, that route might be recommended. Physically the Panama route Is said to present, In the opinion of the commission's engineer fewer and less serious difncYillle-. than are met upon the Nicaragua toute. Sev-j rial members of the -ommlsslon hold that It would cost consiueraDiy less to build the Panama, canal, and In time of construction two or three yearn might be saved. Reprcrentallve Hepburn -of.

I J. . 1 Jt Wo3hlngton. to consult yth the com mission before It finally reports to the president. Mr. Hepburn ls now, as hj has been, for years, a 'Nicaragua canal enthusiast, nnd he has hardly b;en able In times past, to llslcm with patience, to the nrgttmentp In favor of the Panama route. He has heard all the Panama. capal advocates and has up to about this time lemalned steadfast In his. bellpf tint the Nlcarasua route Is the only one worthV of consideration. The facts that have been presented to him by the eommls'.lon since last winter are said, however, to have made such an Impression uon him that he Is now convinced that the Panama route may well receive not only the consideration of the commission, but the consideration of congress. In he state dpartment, too, there Is e. t.rowlng faith In tho Panama canal. Secretary Hay has been Investigating the r.ubject Of a canal ever since he was called from London to take charge of the state department. He, too, is said to be much less opposed to tho Panama route than formerly. It lr not at th time likely that tho United States will bargain seriously for the control of the Panama canal, but It Is probable that nt the npxt session of congress, when the canal bill will rome up again, the Panama route will have many friends.
