July 30.-(SpclaU Arizona's position on the statehood ques tion has been repeatedly and sometimes wnllclously misrepresented. To state the ease briefly. Arizona does not want ptate 'toood. Arizona Is not asking for statehood; Arizona asks only to be let alone. Notwithstanding the development that Is assured Arizona by the construction of aorraous Government irrigation works; notwithstanding the continued, prosperity of the Arizona miners, statehood Is the sole and only topic that is discussed by the enlightened people of this territory today. Development, present and pros pective, is not lost sight of. but the at tention of the people of Arizona is riveted on the proposed statehood legislation which promises to come to the front at the next session of Congress, and Arizona trembles at the prospect. The people of Arizona realize that a plan has been laid to bring up and pans an omnibus statehood bill early in the coming session. They are aware that it Is proposed to bring forward the two state bill, admitting Oklahoma and In dian Territory as one state and Arizona and New Mexico a? another. Their fear is that the bill may pass. For this rea son the residents of this territory, the men who have Invested their fortunes in the farms and in the mines, the men who have made Arizona their permanent home, are co-operating In a mighty effort to convince Congress of the folly of creat ing a state of Arizona or of Arizona and New Mexico combined. . The fact Is, Arizona is not ready for statehood, either individually or joined with New Mexico. The time has not come when this great desert area should be admitted into the Union. Arizona has not the population, the development, nor the first requirement of a state, and she Knows and admits it. The time will come when Arizona will be. entitled to admission a? a state, but that time Is distant. But this fact does not discourage the loyal citizens of the territory. They are patient: they are willing to wait; they prefer to wait. The extent of the mineral wealth of Arizona is unknown: there is every indication that the rich deposits of her rugged hills and mountains have as yet been merely scratched. Irrigation holds much in store for Arizona. Countleas acres, now overgrown with sagebrush and the cacti are destined In time to come under cul tivation, as the waters of her "various streams are controlled and put to good use. Mining and agriculture will in time work wonders for Arizona; will Increase her population; will bring in a good, substantial people; will make cities where small, struggling towns now stand, and will generally work to the benefit of the entire community. The time will come, if Arizona Is let alone, when she will be fully competent to enter the union of states, not Joined with a sister territory, but Individually and alone. Arizona asks merely to be let alone until that time shall arrive. It is a reasonable request, and one that Congress should heed. There is violent opposition in Arizona to a union with New Mexico. Now Mex ico wants statehood at any price, and Is willing to be annexed to Arizona if such a course will give her a vote In the House of Representatives and another in the Senate. Not so in Arizona. The people of this territory take a vory different view of the statehood question. "Let Oklahoma and Indian Territory have statehood. If they want It and deserve it" is what they say here; "deal with New Mexico as her merits justify, but whatever you do. let us alone." From the viewpoint of the Arizona peo ple, the two-state or omnibus statehood bill has been and is being pressed largely for political reasons. Senator Beverldge, chairman of the Senate committee on ter ritories, who is doing more than any other man In Congress to force joint statehood on Arizona and New Mexico, Is not actuated by a desire to serve the people of this territory. No man Is moro unpopular with them. They regard the Indlanan as their enemy; they declare him their enemy and they have It in for him, and the Senator need only make another trip into Arizona to test this sentiment. Sonator Beverldge. so say these people, did not consult them to ascertain their wishes; he did not ask their opinions, "but rushed through Ari zona by night in a tightly closed Pull man car, and went back to Washington to work for joint statehood." That's the way they talk of the distinguished chair man down here, and they speak from the heart. "Why should we have statehood thrust upon us." asked one of the largest Irri gation farmers near Phoenix, in conversa tion with yourvcorrespondent. "when we don't want it? Wo haven't got enough people: the people we have are too scat tered: our tillable land Is yet largely un developed; we are not fit for state hood. And why should wo be joined to New Mexico? We hale nothing in com mon with those people. The two terri tories joined together would make a great, unwieldy state: there is but poor cotamunlcatlon between us, but what we object to more than anything else Is being Joined with a territory that has such a population as New Mexico. True, we have some Mexicans among us; but we arc not overrun with Mexicans, and we ferlou8ly object to being linked with a territory that is dominated by Mexi cans and whose politics could and would be controlled by the purchasable Mexi can vote. We don't care what happens to New Mexico, Just so it is not hitched to us. We care not if Congress wants to give New Mexico statehood; wo would be glad of It. but leave us out. We are not suffering by reason of having no vote Jn Congress. Wo are getting fair recognition. The Government is spend ing lots of money here and intends to spend more; our wants are attended to. and what Congress doesn't do we aro doing ourselves. Then let us along; let things continue as they are. When we are ready for statehood we will ask for it, and until then we don't want It." And this sentiment was echoed by every single resident of Arizona who was encountered on a week's trip. Last month a Congressional party, inspecting Irrigation works, paid a visit to Arizona, epent several days on Its deserts and In its mountains, min gled with the people and studied con ditions. Even- member of that party sto.od ready in the last Congress to vole for the joint statehood bill, to combine Arizona and New Mexico as one state. Before they left here cverv member of that party, without roeard to his politics. openy declared himself in favor of the Arizona Idea, to "let" well enough alone." Arizona hopes that the Influence or those men may be of avail in the next Congress. If the statehood bill is revived, but It will take a great reversal of senti ment, a great deal of real education, to overcome what is feared to be -n fixed idoa In the minds of the majority In Congress. . The Delegate from Arizona will not introduce a statehood bill in the next Congress; he will do his best to pre vent anyone Introducing a bill which involves Arizona. The last Delegate from this territory Introduced such a bill in accordance with his own views, but without first consulting his con stituents. As a result, he has been re tired, and a tried representative of the people has been sent back to Congress. Arizona realizes that it is up against a hard proposition, but it hopes, through Its true friends, to ward off statehood until the time comes when statehood is deserved. IL J. B. Oil King Conies to See Fair. Walter R. Wheat, secretary of the Ab bott Kinney Company, of Los Angeles, is visiting the Lewis and Clark Exposition, and last night started on a three days trip up the Columbia "River.

Looking upon them. I for one could see very well how It was that Russia dreamed of a day when through them she should once again be the mistress of the Far Eastern waters. - Then the- fitting word was spoken: our gunners received the order. In an Instant a thousand thunders fell upon the sailor of the ca- Cross Front of Russian Line. Our superior speed carried us across the front of the advancing Russian line of battle, and as we steamed we concen trated our fire upon the Russian leader. As soon as wc found ourselves across the front of the Russians and over to the starboard of the hostile line the Mlkasa signaled to form the line in reverse order, and every ship turned sharply to port through ISO degrees, and so completely reversing the order of ships and the di rection of the fleet. This brought the guns of our larboard broadside to the oncmy. It was not altogether an un kindly turn, this maneuver. To our gun ners In the starboard quarters who had kept open the floodgate of heil uson the devoted and heroic head of the Russians for some time it brought a few moments of grateful rest. And once again wo rode back the way we came, across the path of Russian progress. The movement was repeated a number of times. At one time something made me turn my eyes to the ships of our fleet. They were keeping the stations beautifully. With their trains of smoke trailing far to the lee. curling here and there, and describing without a shadow of effort a thousand curves of grace and then finally vanishing away, they composed a picture at which I could not suppress the heavlngs of my breast. I could not see how on earth the Russians could find It in their hearts to deny them the merited title of the Mistress of the Three Seas. By 3 o'clock In the afternoon the battle was waging to Its climax; our steel seed which we had sown with lavish gener osity began to bring forth .the fruits. It was just about this time that two squad rons of our fleet detached themselves from the main line and disappeared in the fog which was closing in. They were not lost from view very long. When they reappeared they were upon the rear of the hostile ships. The enemy was bagged bagged as a helpless rat In a trap. And looking back for although I have little of foresight. I am always proud of my hindsight I am Inclined to think that fate, whom some of us in our black mo ments mistake for a football, and who Is unquestionably wise, began to strike, the hour which was to settle many things, among others the future of Asia, the doom of Russia's sea power upon the Pacific and a new day for the peace of the Far East. The confusion among the Russian' ships Increased: so also the rigor of the savage fire we maintained upon them. After three hours of fighting that is to say, a little past 5 o'clock in the evening I saw a Russian ship with one smoke stack lose the freedom of motion and stagger drunkenly to the rear. She was vomiting a huge column of white smoke, evidently disabled. The constant pressure upon the head of the Russian line was telling upon the hostile ships and the enemy changed their course, heading west, leaving the unhappy ship to tho mercy of our concentrated fire. Most Like Feather in Storm. One of the heavy shots struck her mast, and you will be surprised how light a heavy military mast is sometimes. Like a feather in a storm it flew Into the sea. Soon the fire mantled her completely; the sounds of many explosions reached us even above the. din of our own guns. Gradually and finally wrapt In her funer al sheet of smoke and fire, the hapless ship began to list. The first victim of the battle. And It was the pitiful sight of her that brought tho shout of Banzat which broke the human silence aboard the Mlkasa. We left the duty o" coup de grace to the Chltose and destroyers. About 30 minutes after that we saw the ship disappear with one final explosion. Even as the sea which floats the cross of SL George and the Sun-round flag with equal amlablencss was adding another skolton In her closet we saw drop to the rear two other Russian ships, both in n sad plight. And they found themselves within 2000 meters of the Mlkasa as we steamed away from the last victim. Ana the prompt manner in which the heavy guns of our battleship squadron turned their Are upon the two ships made you think of a snow-covered pialn of the north and a pack of wolves on a horw which had lost his way. I noticed espe cially the fearful work which our 12-inch guns and the 10-Inch shells from the Nlsshln wrought upon the two Russians. AVI thin less than ten minutes one of them was on fire, fore and aft. Without even so much as a groan she took all we could give her. but not for very long. Like a man shot through tho heart. I saw her I pitch forward and dive rapidly, bow first. Very soon her stern was high out In the, l air. I shall never forget the ghastly pose It struck against the gray of the fog and the white of the angry sea. with her pro peller marking a sort of funeral cross. Turning almost completely over, she went down. Center Flro on Suvaroff. Once moro wc headed off the main squadron of Russia and once again wo centered our fire upon the Knlaz Suvaroff. Fire broke out upon her; white columns of smoke towered Into the sky and I saw vlvld tongues of Are stalking upon her upper decks. From the way her guns were served, and judging from the cour age with which she fought, you would have said that the hall of shots in which she was wrapped and all the Ares caused thereby were too trifling an Inci dent for the Russians to call for serious attention. If it were the courage of desperation, theirs was certainly splendid. The Knlaz Suvaroff and her comrades seemed to have centered their Are on the second ships In our squadrons even more than upbn the flagships themselves. Not only with our first squadron, but the same was the case with the second squadron. It may be that the enemy thought the Admirals were aboard the second ship in each squadron Instead of upon the ships which carried their flags. The Azuma suffered a good deal from the concentration of hostile shots: she was second in our armored cruiser squadron. One of the shots struck one of her gens and destroyed it completely. Another struck the casemate of a gun which was placed below her aft conning Tower. The shell pierced It and on entering It ex ploded. The excessive violence of the ex plosion dismounted a 12-pounder which was on the deck above and wounded Com mander Togo. who. at the time was in the conning tqwer. All through thb action the fog prevented our seeing even with the assistance of a binocular a distance of mors than six knots. In outmaneuverlng the enemy we steamed out of their sight often. Five times we disappeared from the enemy's sight andflve times wo returned Into tne effective range of Are. And each time we met we spent about 30 minutes In the actual exchange of Are. From a little after 2, when the Russians wasted a couple of trial shots, to about 7, which saw the conclusion of the fleet action of the day, there were three solid hours of fighting. Singular Behavior of Russians. At about 6 o'clock, when the dusk was beginning to fall, we noticed a singular behavior on the part of the Russians. To our eyes they seemed to disperse. In their apparent disorder they had. nevertheless, one thing common to them all: All were trying to head northward. As we had done before, the main strength of our fleet threw itself across their path and brought the guns to bear upon the head of the Russian line. It was about 6:50 P. M. that a heavy shell battered the main mast of the Borodino. She was on Arc. Like a strong man whom you see in tears, the last hour of a battleship touches you to the heart. Ten minutes later she turned turtle. Seven strokes from a clock tolled her knell; lying on her side she went down. And the night, which had covered many a historic wreck of human strife, rung down the curtain once more upon the blood and fire of this, perhaps, the greatest naval action in history. Our principal squadron drew away to the north: it was the hour for tho torpedo-boats. It was about 7:20 that I saw through the twilleht which was darken ing over the sea more and more, the fio tlllas steaming away from the protection of our heavier vessels, headed for the profiles of the Russian ships melting away Into the night. The Russians were expecting them, 'and a sudden deluge of shots spoke their greeting to the frail craft, which seemed to live on that sea through a miracle. We covered the reck less advance of the torpedo flotillas with a steady Are. and so the belligerent fleets passed into the darkness. At about S o'clock we began to hear the tunes of the torpedoes which had gone home. A little later, out of the night and from the direction in which our torpedo flotillas had disappeared, a strange sound reached us. It was weird in the extreme; shrieks of human voices they undoubtedly were; nevertheless the distance had mellowed the sharper notes and translated them Into a ghostly melody. Tou would have said that the restless and unhappy souls, escaped from the norvann. storm tossed and heartbroken, with the black mem ories of the sins of yore, were calling out of an angry sea for a honey drop or two of sympathy from their brothers In the flesh. There seemed to us more than KM voices in the chorus. Jt was Impossible to tell whether the shrieks were from our men or from the throats of tho drowning enemies perhaps both. Make for Northern Rendezvous. We shaped our course to the northwest; we were certain that the Russians would make for Vladivostok. With the excep tion of the ships detailed on special duties we made for the rendezvous north of the Llancourt Rocks. The communi cations among the vessels of the fleet were maintained throughout the night not without difficulty, however. The Russians, so Indifferent at first about the communications among the vessels of our fleet through wireless telegraphy, were now very active In disturbing It. A little before the break of day, on the 23th of May, we received a message from our scout: It confirmed our belief and read: "The remnant of the hostile fleet Is mak ing for Vladivostok." About 12 miles to the east of Takebe Bay, a little before 10 o'clock In the morning, we sighted Ave ships of the enemy the Orel, the Emperator Nlcholai I. the Admiral Scnlavln and the General Admiral Apraxlne and a cruiser. And the Cruiser was the Izumurud. as we came to And out later. Almost as soon as wc hove into view she detached her self from the squadron, and. shaping her course straight for Vladivostok, steamed away at full speed. We opened fire upon the four Russians; at first they showed a half-hearted sign of resistance. Pres ently their Arc ceased. There was some thing abrupt and sudden In this silence of the hostile guns. Outwardly they did not reem as If their fighting power were gone. Naturally our glasses wandered over them In search after the reasn. They rested for a moment upon the halyard of the Orel. Above the cross of St. George another color was flying. It was the Sun-flag of Nippon. RUSSIA'S ELECTORAL PLAN Points Approved by Uie Council of Ministers. ST. PETERSBURG. July 3-3.

Milton and Jesse, and Alf Moore, a negro, will have to hang. The Rawlins sons and Mooro were found guilty of the murder some time ago. Rawlins and Carter were for years min isters in the Methodist Church. A feud started and Rawlins plotted to wipe out the Carter family. It was arranged that Moore and Milton, Jesse and Leonard Rawlins were to go to the Carter home and kill the parents while they sat at the supper table. When the children ran out they were to be shot down. The assassins, however, arrived after the evening meal, and could not shoot through the windows at their victims. Some noise caused Willie and Fannie Bell Carter to run into the yard. Instantly the guns of the murderers spoke, and the girt fell deal. The boy. shot through the body, dragged himself into the house and told who had done the firing. All nlght long Rev. and Mrs. Carter crouched in their home. Through crevices in the log house the Carters could see the assassins creeping about the yard, but whether their daughter was dead or not they could not learn. Finally Rev. Mr. Carter reached his rifle and flred through a crack in the door. The shot caused the murderers to flee. Moore confessed the plot.
