New York, Ftsb. S. Tie special com
mittee apjxtfhted by the trustees of
the New York Life Insurance Com
pany to Investigate the affairs of that
company today made a partial report
ot Its labors to the directors.. This re-
port deals only with the relations or
Andrew Hamilton, legislative agent,
with the company, and Is a severe
arraignment of his methods.
John A. McCall, late president of the
New York Life, also comes In for a
share of the committee's criticism. He
is blamed for his methods in connec
tion with tie "bureau of taxation and
legislation" during the last ten years
and for allowing Hamilton to pay auk
vast sums without a proper account
ing. Special attention is called to re
- mlttances of $10,000 to Mr. McCall in
v London and $134,500 to Hamilton in
Paris in 1900. The purposes of these
remittances, the committee says, t
lias been unable to ascertain and rec
ommends that proceedings be Instl
' tuted against Hamilton ,and McCall
for an accounting or repayment.
. The committee also holds both Mc
Call and Hamilton responsible for
$35,000 advanced to HemQtonopay
State tax and which the committee
declares was used by Hamilton for his
own purposes. The committee is ad-
vised that toth are liable lor this snm
and maintains also that It Is 'a matter
for legal adjudication us to whether

Remick White, editor of the Para
dise Record, who arrived in the city
last evening from Paradise, states that
there are from -three to .fourteen feet
of snow in the Chiricahua Mountains.
The reports brought in tell of the
heaviest snowfalls during 'Abe winter

the mountains or acquainted with the
section. For some weeks the lumber
company doing business there has
been practically unable to make a
move. Some few thaws have been
lad, but these "have melted the snow
only to trifling extent. The thaws
nave been immediately followed by
more snow. Beside the lumber Indus
try, the wood-chopping camps have
also been Interfered with and reserve
supplies nave run down considerably
because of Inability to get men to go
out to work during the severe weather.
Movement of wood to the railroad has
also been a difficult matter.
Mr, White states that mining prop
ertles in and about Paradise in the
California district are steadily forging
" their way ahead, and that the outlook
for the Industry in that section is al

IS APPOINTED COLLECTOR
i il
(Special to Review.) .J
Washington, Feb. 8. The President today sent to the Senate
the name of Myron H. McCord to be Collector of Customs at the
port of Nogales, Arizona. The appointment of McCord to be Collec
tor had been looked for several days ago, but when he was asked
whether he was. a candidate for the place, be claimed he did not
want It. No papers were on file for his appointment, and he says
now that the appointment was unsolicited on his part.
In conversation with your correspondent tonight, McCord said
that when he called at the White House several days ago the Presi
dent asked if he would take the office If offered, and he told the.
President yes. He expects to take the oath of office as soon as
conflnSra.
Regarding thS Statehood bill, McCord thinks the bill will pass
the Senato without amendment .and if the Foraker amendment
should bo adopted the bill will be further amended, making Phoenix
VhS alternative capital, and the Supremo Court to meet half of
the tlmo at Phoenix.
Tonight Beveridge claims eight majority for the House bill

had Jbeea rescued alive and one dead
body recovered. , -
-"The remaining fifteen men, It Is ex
pected? 'will "be reached by morning.
The explosionr-the-cause-of 'Which
not yet been determined, was not a
very heavy one and comparatively lit
tle injury was done to the mice, .ren
dering the work of rescue easier than
is usual in such cases.

o'clock this morning the belief is that
at least twenty-eight men have met
death as result of the explosion in the
Parall mine ot the Stewart Collieries
Company. Thirty-nine -men, it has
been learned, were employed in the
mine 'and only twelve have escaped
alive. At midnight six bodies had
been recovered near the mouth of the

others in the mine are dead.
Among those known to be in the
mine are:
Mine Boss Pratt and his .son, White.
Four negroes, David Wells, James
Swan, George Jones and Win. Madi
son.
Robert FeatherglL
The explosion was 130360 by a
pocket of gas which -was struck In .a
fault in the mine. The explosion was
terrific, andLit is ihought that many
of the miners were killed outright by
it- -The system of fans was complete
ly wrecked and all air was shut off,
leaving the men to smother to death
The shaft Is about 700 feet deep and
the unfortunate men are Hungarians
and negroes who had had little expe

heavy snowstorm, officials at the na-
lal observatory early tonight gave up
any hope ot taking observations of the
eclipse of the moon which began after

not favorably made tonight Decause

isfactory results from their trials,
though the latter were not entirely
barren of discoveries. These will be
made public in reports to be Immedl
ately compiled. Hundreds of people
In the city watched for the eclipse dur
lng the night, and were greatly dis
appointed because of the turn weather
conditions took.

PATTERSON DROPPED
Crowd Assembled in Senate
Yesterday Disappointed-
Railroad Monopoly
Washington, Feb. 8. There was
general expectation that today would
witness a revival of yesterdays excit
mg occurrences in the Senate over
Mr. Patterson's caucus resolution, but
it was not realized and a large crowd
attracted to the galleries was com
pelled to leave in disappointment
when at 3 p.m. the Senate went into
executive session, after a day devoted
largely to ordinary bills on the cal
endar.
Mr. Scott spoke on his bill giving
telegraph operators of the civil war
a pensionable status and the bill was
passed. Mr. Tillman again today
made reference to the charge that rail-
Inatlng against private coal miners
and had read a letter from the Gov
ernor of that State charging that the
Pennsylvania company controls all
trunk lines in West Virginia to the dis
advantage of the State.
The Senator Smoot case, so far as
the introduction of testimony of pro
tectants is concerned, probably will
be closed tomorrow. An announce
ment to that effect was made by John
G. Carlisle, who has been prosecut
ing the case at thepresent session of
Congress, at the close of proceedings
today. The hearing today dealt with
alleged Mormon interference in busi
ness affairs and with the endowment
ceremony.

JUDGE DOAN WILL
BENDER S DECISION
Id Celebrated Graham County
Water Case-Left for
Solomonville
(Special to Review.)
Tombstone, Feb. 8. Judge Doan left
this morning for Solomonville, where
he goes to remain a few days on court
business, especially to finish up some
United States court business, which
was tried before him while stationed
In that district, and while Mr. Nave
was acting as United States attorney
and prosecuted the cases. One of
them was the case of the government
versus a man named Blevins, convict
ed of selling whiskey to Indians, in
which sentence had been suspended
for a time, and the other case that of
an Indian, charged with cattle steal
ing. The judge also took along with him
the written opinion In the celebrated
water case which was tried last year
In Graham county, which involved the
rigt to the water flowing in the 'va
rious ditches in the Gila valley. The
ritten opinion had not been filed In the
case, although the contestants some
time since were Informed as to what
the opinion would appropriate to each
of them, but as there has been plenty
of water flowing in the river for the
past six months., so that all could have
a full allowance and some to spare.
there has been no trouble as to the
rights. The opinion is a length one
and covers all of the water rights In
te Gila valley. The case when tried
was one of the longest ever tried in
the territory and over 500 witnesses
were placed upon the stand by the
contesting parties.
Judging from the rain and snow fall
of this winter, there will be no lack
of water in the Gila this summer and
there is but little likellhoood of the
opinion being dup up to settle any qis
putes for some time at least.
COMPLETION IS
INTEREEREO WITH
Materials for Cut-Off are
Delayed Pins at Lowell
are Unknown
Completion of French cutoff is be
ing delayed by the failure of materials
to arrive. These latter consist prin
cipally of rails, which have been on
the road for some time, but hate as
yet not come to hand.
There remains something over a
mile of track to be built. Work of
putting down rails was suspended last
week. The hope dally has been that
resumption might be possible imme
diately, but it is not ye definitely in
sight. Meantime the track that has
been put down is being ballasted and
got in good shape to enter service.
No steps have yet been taken to
utilize the grading done at the Xiwell
end of the cut-off further than to put
down the main track and the switch
up to the Junction. Besides this grad
ing there is much material lying idle
which it is the presumption the rail
road company will use for manng ex
tensive addition to its yard room fa
cilities. It is also thought that a large
plot of ground graded at the Lowell
street crossing will be utilized for the
purpose of receiving a freight and pas
senger depot, though the railroad peo
ple have as yet given out nothing in
this regard that carries substantiation
of the idea.

interesting Word Picture
from the Pen of Special
Correspondent
(Special correspondence to this papo
Tucson, Ariz., Feb. 8. Tucson is.
first in wealth, first In adobe anct.
second in population among Arizona,
cities.
The little city, still rich in ancitfut.
picturesqueness, has been neglected
in history. The hlbtory of Tucson is.
the history of the continent, for if it
is not the oldest European settlement.
In North America it Is one of the
first three. Spanish children, whose
mothers told them of the voyage ot
Columbus, were alive when Tucson
was a point on the explorers' mapj
A Tucson newspaper makes the
assertion that Tucson- is the second
oldest settlement in the United States,
but does not name the first. lTeas
ure Land," a valuable- volume on Ari
zona, maintains that the city is older
than either of the two contestants for
first honors Santa Fe and St. Augus
tie. The book's statement In this,
connection is interesting,.
It. says:
"Conceding Santa Fe's claim of IC05,
and also paying due veneration o the
antiquity of St. Augustine, we claim,
priority for Tucson.
"According to authentic records,.
Marcos -de Niza and the negro, Este
vanico, explored Arizona in 1539, pass
ing through the Santa Cruz valley
and the Gila settlements. He mad
such a wonderful report on the coun
try, which he swore to, that the ques
tion of establishing a settlement 15.
that section was seriously considered.,
and in 1552 the matter was reported
favorably and the settlement ordered,
established."
The proof of this Is said to be con
tained in a stained and time-worn
document written on vellum, signed,
by his Catholic majesty, Charles the
First of Spain, and Fifth of Germany,
the successor of Ferdinand and Isa
belle, the patrons of Columbus, and
countersigned by the Viseroy of Mex
ico. The document was discovered re
cently among the relics of the ancient
mission San Xavier del Bac, nine
miles south of Tucson, and was for
warded for safe-keeping to the Hbrat
rlan at Washington, in whose custody.
It cow is, or ought to be". The date
of the vellum is 1552, and, allowing
three years for good measure, the date
of Tucson's settlement would be 1555,
at which time St. Augustine was mere
ly a strip of coast line and Santa.
Fe a prairie dog village. Attached
to the vellum is an interesting ac
count of the founding of Tucson, writ
ten in the fair round hand of Marcos
de Mlza, of which the folIOTcing. K
an extract:
"For years at a time Tucson was
cut off from all official connection
with Mexico and lost sight of. The
church neglected it and the govern
ment ignored it. But the Indians, were
friendly, and the European settlers,,
cut off from home and friends, dwelt
among them and became almost &.
they were.
"When the missionaries, more than
a century after Tucson's founding, en
tPred the country again, they found
many of their own race to welcome
and aid them, and this accounts for
the easy manner In which the people
were converted. It took only three
years (1C90-3) to establish a chain
of prosperous missions alog the San
ta Cruz valley, and Fater Kino was
never able to induce more than a few
priests to come to his assistance."
Tuescn, now a city of about 15,000
persons, yas still an army post In the
late '70s. Most of Its Inhabitants were
Mexicans. At this time Its nearest
railroad was 900 miles distant. The
discovery of rich minerals and the
coming of the Southern Pacific rall-
read In 18S0 gave the old town an
P. infusion of life. Although portions
of the town stand just as they did in
p. past centuries, they arc naturally glv
P. lng way to the progress of modern
l; tlrce3. Tucson now has scores of
P. modern buildings, and is the thriving
business center for a large grazing
and mining territory containing many
