Mir. W. Mason, for eight years past employed in the store of the Copper Queen Company at Bisbee, has recent ly purchased the water supply busi- ness for that town, and is now engag- ed in conducting it. He has sunk a new well forty-fve feet deep, in which he has eleven feet of clear, pure water, which is still rising and seems from an inexhaustible supply. He has one tank wagon continually engaged in hauling and delivering the necessary fluid, and expects to put on another shortly. He is doing fine business and pushing it in thorough going and satisfactory manner.

MEXICAN DUELIsrs.

Senior Vsrastguvs Ktnsmsn Bent on
Avsnging His Death.
CRY OF MEXICO, Sept. 11.-Interest in
the Verastgui- Romero duel which was
fought nearly a month ago. is kept
alive by the revelation OF many new
facts. Moreover eight of Verastgui's
kinsmen, who have sworn revenge. are
trying to force Romero to meet them
SUCCESSFULLY with pistols. They say
they will call him ont until one of them
puts him out of the way.
1t is now known positively that Mrs..
Barsjas, wife of Juan Barajas. commits
sion merchant, was the cause OF the
meeting. She is about 80 years old, o
blond with large blue eyes, and excsp-
tionally handsome in figure. Jose T..
Verastgui, the commissioner of internal
revenue, and Represen tative Francisco
Romero, both millionaires, were friends
of hers, but until shortly before the
duel neither knew that the other was
frequently with her.
Romero no sooner learned Of her
friendship for Verastgui than he warn
ed him against calling again. Verast.
gui took no notice of the warning, and
Monday the rivals met in Barajas'
house. There was q scene, followe by
o letter from Romero to Verastgui.
Verastgui thsreupon consulted his
friends who advised him to fight. He
did so with the result known.

SALVADOREAN REFUGEES
THEIR FATE STILL HANGING IN
THE BALANCE.
General Ezeta Ogled by Set of senti-
mental Women-He Receives
Remittance From His
Brother.

SAN Francisco, Sept. 1.-THE fate of
Gen. Antonio Ezeta and the three other
San Sslvadorean refugees who are de-
tanned here will not be decided. in all
probability, until some time Eext week.
Their cases were recalled in the United
States district court today. After Judge
Morrow had Sustained formal demur-
rer to the defendants plea of lack OF
Jurisdiction, argument was begun by
the counsel for the government of San
Salvador. The opening argument will
not be concluded before tomorrow noon.
and it is not probable that the case will
be submitted TO the court before next
week.
General Ezeta proves to have fsecin-
ating influence over sentimental women
OF certain class. For several days past
he haa been deluged with tender
missives and flowers which have been
sent to his hotel by these adj
mirers. Several women, who make no
attempt to conceal their admiration of
the feree-looking Spanish-American,
have been constant attendants on the
proceedings in court. One handsome
Spanish girl. who has been more per-
sistent than her rivals, has regularly
waited at the entrance to the hotel in
which Ezsta and his comrades are held
as prisoners, in order to catch glimpse
of her hero and follow after him to the
court room. Ezeta's conduct, however,
has been manly. To all appearances
these hattering attentions have been I'M.
noticed. The great legal battle which
means to him life or death claims his
whole attention.
General Ezeta has received remit
lance of $4,000 from his brother Carlos.
the deposed president, and is now able
to provide for all his wants. He conf
IDENTITY expects to be released, and his
friends openly assert that within Elk
months he will be ct the head of an
other revolution against the existing
government in San Salvador. Colone
Colocho, the refugee whom Judge Nor.
row liberated, has reached Mexico.

died of want and exposure and much
sickness is said to exist in the ranks.
On the other hand, the Jspanees
are much better prepared for active
operations. They have succeeded in
keeping their lines OF communication
open and have pushed their forces for
ward until they are now threatening the
Chinese flank. The position of the lat-
ter, with winter rapidly advancing,
threatens to become untenable. Orders
were sent from Pekin over a fortnight
ago for all the Chinese squadrons to con-
centrate in the gulf of Pechili, but it
appears these orders were never carried
out.
Peremptory ordera have now been
given for three powerful vessels of the
southern squadron to join Admiral Ting's
feet in the north without delay. When
these reinforcements arrive it is asserted
the Chinese feet will commence opera
tions in earnest againat the Japanese.
No confidence, however, 10 felt in Ad-
miral Ting's ability to hold even the
gulf of Pechili against the Japanese feet.
Consequently many steamers belonging
TO Chinese firms are being transferred to
the British flag.

ceeds, and mandarins commanding
provinces and districts are reported to
be squeezing the unfortunate Chinese

SUGAR BOUNTY.
Prod ucsrs Must Sue for tho Subsidy on
This Years Crop.

Prod ucsrs Must Sue for tho Subsidy on
This Years Crop.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-Secretary
Carlisle, in letter today addressed to
Senator Gallery OF Louisiana, officially
decided that under the new tariff law it
will be unlawful to appoint inspectors,
weighsrs and testers of bounty sugars
under the Mckinley act, and further,
congress having made no appropriation
for the employ ment OF such oficia ais, the
laws OF the United States prohibit the
employment of such persons to serve
without pay.
The letter of secretary Carlisle TO
Senator Gallery does not decide the
main question in which sugar growers
are interested, namely: Whether the
sugar bounty for this year, earned up to
the time of the tariff went into effect,
will be paid. The decision today is
simply an official refusal on the
part of the secretary to appoint sugar
bounty inspectors and testers, and does
not decide the other question, although
there seems little doubt that he will
hold that he has no authority to pay
bornties earned this year before
the tariff bill went into effect.
The law saya it shall be unlawful after
the passage of this act to pay such
bounties. The only recourse left to the
sugar growers for bounties earned would
in that case be to sue in the court OF
claims.

Operations of the Chinese and Japanese
Fleets.

Operations of the Chinese and Japanese
Fleets.
LONDON, Sept. ia dispatch to the
Times from Wei Hal Wei today says
commission composed OF foreigners, after
examining the incidents OF the naval
fight July Goth, declared the Japanese
were the aggressors. The Chinese, the
commission adds, were careful to avoid
the appearance OF provocation, but the
Japanese waylaid the Chinese, selecting
a good position. The Chinese senior
ship escaped, making running fight
and greatly damaging her pursuers. The
remaining Chinese ship fought until her
ammunition was exhausted and two OF
her gums destroyed.
The same morning, it appears, Japan
ese arrived from Seoul and attacked the
Chinese at Assam. These operations we're
evidently well concerted.
The Chinese fleet, according to the
Times dispatch. is now collected at Wei
Hal Wei, and 10 in perfect fighting trim.
The Chin Yuen has been repaired and 10
recruiting seamen freely. Excellent
esprit de CORPS enables them to assert
the supremacy of China in Corean
waters.
Continuing the Times correspondent
cables that both the Chinese and Jap
snese armies in Corea are seemingly in
active. The Japanese ordered the CO.
reans to cut their hair as token OF sub
lection. The Coreans refused to do so,
preferring to fight for liberty.
A dispatch from Shanghai today says
food and ammunition are said to De

As q result food is becoming very SCARCE
in the Chinese army. According to the
came dispatch, the pretenae of Chinese

IMPURITIES IN FOOD.

Slngularly exaggerated ideas concern
Ing the adulteration of food are verv
generally held, according to DR.. III. w.
Wiley, chemist of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture. Sand, for in
stance, is not sold with sugar-at least
in the United States.
The granulated and lump sugars in
the market are almost absolutely pure.
powdered sugar sometimes, though rare
~, contains little -four or starch, and
low grade sugars are impure chiefly
through the molasses and water thew
are made TO absorb in manufacture.

Ing mixture of glucose or cane sirups.
with small proportion Of the product
Of the maple, while in an imitation ac-
tually protected by patent the maple
flavor is given by an extract Of hickory
bark. Liquid honey is largely adulter-
ated with glucose. OF comb honey,
however, only that in bottles and Jars
is impure, the old impression that comb
honey on the frame is adnlterated hav-
ing been proved to be erroneous
Ground coffee is SO largely adulterat-
ed with chicory, peas, beans, etc., that
it is rarely found pure, and even the
unground berry is initiated. Tea is rare
ly mixed with foreign leaves, but fire..
quently has its weight increased by the
addition of salts of iron and copper
materials quite prejudioial to health.
Cocoa and chocolate are largely adult
terated with starch and sugar, and
products claimed to be greatly improved
as to digestibility may have little of the
virtues Of the original cocoa bean left
in them.
A danger in canned goods is the use
of adulterated tin, which may contain
as high as 10 per cent of lead, the OF.
ganic salts formed by the corrosion Of
the lead being always poisonous. The
common practice of coloring canned
peas with copper is very Objectionable.
The use of preservatives, such as sail
cylio acid, is not without risk, while an
occasional source of danger is the devel-
opment OF heterogeneous bodies called
ptomaines in preserved meats. The
above are illustrations Of the principal
food authorizations, which, though bad
enough, are insignificant in comparison
with the startling reports that have
been published. Much the greater part
