FREIGHT. NORTHERN ARIZONA. A. KILLER, PnoHITO. CANDIES, NOTIONS, TOBACCO, STATIONERY, CIGARS, Bound to Have Its Weekly Ex-oitement. Iluntlnston Discharging His Lobby for the Session Suvar Grower Want an Import Duty on German Sugar. FROM OUR REOULAR CORKE8PONDZXT.1 Washington, April 3. Tho Senate seems bound to have its weekly ex citomeut in connection wilh Cuban affairs, oven if the Cuban resolutions arc. uut still before it. Senator. Call this week introduced a resolution which would mean, if it were adopted, nothing more nor less than a declaration of war against Spain. It provided for the sending of n big naval foice to Cuba at oucu to protect citizens of the Uuited States and prevent the viola tion of treaty obligations, and directs the Fresideut to inform Spain that the Uuited States will by force iuterveue if thete bo further occuireuco of mur der and outrage or the putting to death of prisoueis of war. Of couise the adoption of such a resolution was simply nut of the question, but it served to keep the subject uppermost. "Senator Butler of Vorth Carolina thiiiks the making of moitgagn and other notes pawible in gold is an en tirely unnecessary hardship forced upon borrowers by capitalist who loan money, and in older to put a stop to it he iuttoduced a bill requiring tho ac ceptance of curieut legal tender funds in payment of mites, bonds w other .pi it ate obligations. He said this idea had been favored in both Republican and Democratic plalfor:us and that this was a good tiu.e to make party prom incs iuto a law. In answer to Senator Hill's questioti, Senator Butler slid his bill ilid uot propose to inteiferu with existing contracts, and added emphat ically, 'I do not believe in bie.ikiug conll acts." The bill was sent to the Finance Committee. The McKinloites had their innings Ibis week, and if the Republicans iu Cogies had lepresented the nomi nating couvculion it would Il.tVtt been a compaiatively easy matter to have stampeded it in McKinle's favor. But the pauie was soon over, although the scare remains. It is said that from this time on Speaker Reed's candidacy is to be aggressively pushed to the front to antagonize McKiulcy. C. P. Huntington returned to Wash ington this wevk, 'and it is reported that he has paid off and dismissed the most of his lobbying force, because he has become satisticd that no Paciliu railroad legislation will go through Congress at the present session. This seems a little strange, perhaps, iu view of tho statement that the sub-committee of tho House and Senate Pacific railroads committees which has been discussing tho matter, has practically agreed upon the main points of a bill to bo fuvorably reported to the Senate. But nobody knows any better than Mr. Huntington, with his long experience wilh legislative bodies, Slate and Na tional, tho difference between getting a bill through and having it reported from a committee. It is just possible, too, that he may have been given a Up from some of ids friends among the Congressional leaden, At any rate this report chimes in wilh the views of vctoran observers who havo nothing to do wilh Huntingtou, but who baso their belief that there will be no Pacific railroad legislation at this session upon the well-known anxiety of the cou ttolliug men in Congress to securo au early adjournment, and their knowl edge that tho railroad bill would be debated for weeks if it was once taken up, especially in the Senate. A bill may be reported and placed on tho calendar of both Uoujo and Senate before adjournment, but even that is uot cet tain. Some day or other it may bo has tened by a terrible accident at the the ptesent building Congress will ptobably decide upon a site for a new government printing office. It was anuouttced the other day that the House Committee on Public Buildings and Grouuds had agreed upon" a sito, nut before anybody had au opportu nity to congratulate an body else the inevitablesquabble made its appear ance in that committee. It might not be a bad idea for Congress to provide for the building and leave the selection of a silo to some outside man who is beyond tho reach of the influence of real estate sharpers. A delegation of sugar growers were iu Washington this week to ask Con gress for legislation that will prevent the German sugar growers driving them out of business, owing to the ex port b mnty paid by Germany on sugar. They did not ask for much, only that a duty equal iu amount to the export bouuty be put upon German sugar, but that Is more than thoaro likely to get from this Congress. According to this delegation the Germau sugar growers are taking advantage of the war in Cuba, which has cut off our supply of Cuban sugar, to attempt to drive all tho sugar growers iu the Uuited States into bankruptcy, and in order to help them the German Government is con templating an iucrease of tho export bouuty on sugar. The patronage of the United States Senate is to bo hereafter equally divided among the individual Senators, no matter which party has a majority iu that body. This agreement was reached this week betweeu the Repub lican and Democratic Senators, and as soou as the atrangement cau be put iuto operation the patronage will be divided In the following ratio: Repub licans. 44 89; Democrats, 89-89, ami Populists, 6-89. Under this agree ment the secretary aud sergeaut-at-atms nominated by the Republican caucus get left, as tho present occu pants of those positions will keep them. GENERAL CHURCHILL DEAD.

He purchased the property now kuown as the Churchill Addition at Phoenix and was ihe legal representative of the Ari zona Caual Compauy. On account of his extensivo legal kuowlcdgo aud natural brightness of miud ho was chosen by Governor Trltle as his legal adviser, and during that genllemau's term of office filled the position of attorney general of tbo Ter ritory most creditably. Genet ul Churchill was a man of more than ordinary ability. Ho was fcrtilo iu resources aud a lawyer true to his client.
