against him by various newspapers. The

left the house of Constans, the last-named
gentleman having denied the instigation of

THE SAN JUAN PLACERS.
Reliable Information From the New
DiggingS Wanted.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Dec. A. The ex-
element over the gold fields ON the San
Juan River in Utah. t75 miles northeast of
this place, is as great as at any time since
the discovery became known. Four outfits
left here to-day. There has been as yet no
reliable Information as TO the extent and
richness of the discovery. The fact that no
one who goes returns leads many to be-
lieye that gold exists in unlimited quantities.
No oGe as yet has seen any nuggest from
the new placers.
There are about 1000 people on the ground,
Tor whose maintenance there are no pro-
visions, except such as are taken in by in
dividuals. 1t takes from twelve to fifteen
days to make the round trip from either
Flagstaff or Winslow, the nearest points to
the new Eldorado Reliable news is ex-

was one of the first bills reported from the
Interstate and Foreign Commerce Commit
tee at the last session. Representative
Geary is a member of that committee. but
he neglected TO call the bill up for eonsidera-
ton, consequently it will probably fail OF
passage, as the committee may not be called
again this session. Mr. Cutting will try to
secure recognition from tile Speaker TO
call up his bill by unanimous consent. Its
passage would be of great benefit to the
shipping interests of the bay. The old
Hartley has seen twenty wears of service,
and is about worn out. Mr.. Cuttings bill
authorized the construction of a boarding

NO ASSURANCE OF PEACE.
1r. BaIfoar INDUCES in Some Rather
Plain Talk.

LONDON. Dec. 14-The Conservative Con-
ference at Sheffield has adjourned. A reso-
luton was adopted in favor Of measures to
remedy the depression in the agricultural
industries of Great Britain, provided such
measures should involve no increase in gem
erai taxation. The conference exhibited
great enthusiasm. especially in denouncing
Irish home rule.
Before the adjournment Balfour said that
The Conservatives would support any firm
and energetic Foreign Minister. no matter
what his politics. The condition of the
International strain in Europe at present is
so great that it would be folly TO anticipate
confidently aa Indefinite future of European
peace. Unless the imperial forces should
be kept at the highest possible efficiency,
the lime might come when the British
Foreign Minister would be powerless to
forcibly support the national honor.

Commissioner Morgan on the Educa-

WASHINGTON, Dec. l4.-Indian Commis-
sioDer Morgan sent 10 the Secretary Of the
Interior to-day letter stating that crisis
had been reached in the work carried on by
the Indian Office in the education of Indian
children.
He says the office is helpless TO further
enforce the regulations made in accordance
with the act of 1850, and he says the facts in
the case are before the Secretary for his
Information. General Morgan gives the de-
tails of several recent cases where the au-
thority Of the Government. as represented by
the Indian agents, had been openly defied.
Morgan says he does not believe in using
violence, but he certainly does think the
Government shoud show the Indians that 1t
is in earnest in the matter. He is of opinion
that ali that would be necessary would be a
show of force. The Commissioner makes
no specific accommodations.

Neglect.

We published an article in this pa
paper few days since commending
the good work which the city authori-
ties were having done on our streets
and sidewalks, and calling the atten-
ton Of the property holders to the ne
cessity of walling or plankingup their
sidewalks. in order that they might
secure to themselves and the public
generally the excellent results Of this
labor, in the way of good, smoothe
sidewalks and safe crossings along the
line of their respective streets. We
notice that the suggestion has not
been generally acted upon, with the
result that yesterdays heavy rainfall
has destroyed much Of the good work
already done, by washing great trench
es in the recently leveled and unpro-
tected sidewalks. Such negligence on
the part of the citizen is extremely dis
couraging to the public official who is
striving to perform his duty and ac-
complish public good. Hence, for
these most excellent reasons, we trust
that our people will take hold at once
and assist the authorities in improving
and beautifying the streets and side
walks of our city along the line of ey-
cry street contained therein.
