the total destruction Wednesday of the

the lives of scores of panic-stricken girls

fright and rushed down y. narrow stair

China Throws Up the Sponge.


An interview was obtained with Prince
Nung at the close Of the meeting Of the
privy council at Pekin, his fellow-coun-
cilors remaining and acquiescing in what
was said. The prince remarked that Jap
an had seized Corea and made the Corean
troubles pretext for war. The disputes,
however, could easily have been settled
peaceably. He admitted that China had
faults, that the war had been managed
unwisely, and that some of her officers
were unfit and incompetent For these
disadvantages China must suffer. He ex-
pressed himself as ignorant Of what Japan
wanted or why she was fighting. Upon
being told that japan probably wanted
possession of the territory she had con-
quered, together with 400, 0OO, 900 taels in.
demnity, Prince Kung said he questioned
very seriously whether it would be pos
sible for her to make such claim, adding:
China stands upon principle and Japan
upon power. China knows that she is
weak from a military point of view, and
has therefore concluded that her only op-
ton Is to sue for peace. She has sent
ENJOYS for that purpose to consult with
representatives of Japan and to agree
to pay indemnity. China's purpose is
sincere. If japan will meet her In a
friendly spirit the conclusion of peace
will be possible. If her demands are ex-
orbitant China will continue to fight"

Mexico is still sending troops to the

dicapped by his Cabinet on account OF
finances, but Guatemala still stands on
her original proposition. Mexico has
SO far apparently ignored clause four Of
the treaty Of 1882. calling for arbitra-
ton. consequently Guatemala and
other members of the reputed fedora
ton Of Central American republics ig-
more the treaty OF 1887. Guatemala
has between 10000 and 10000 troops
now on the frontier. Among the va
rious foreign legations here the senti-
ment is unanimous that Mexico's pol
icy is justified. The opinion also seems
to prevail that unless Guatemala re-
cedes there will be a declaration of
war.

The decision OF Judge Mack in a
contested election case in Humboldt
county is that any ballot that has the
numbering tag left on is a Violation OF
the Australian Ballot Law and must
be discarded. This is held to be a
hardship on the innocent voter which
it is, but there is no doubt about the
legality OF his decision. tits held that
il this is the law that the Inspectors Of
an election could leave the numbered
stubbs on and thereby disiranchise
any voter they pleased. This is very
easily avoided. Place a clause in the
law providing a fine OF 800 for every
numbered stub left on the ticket, and
divide tie fine equally among the
Board of Election Inspectors. We
don't think there would be much leav-
ing the numbered stubbs on the bal
lots after one fine was collected. The
mair and best feature about the Aus
tralian Ballot Law is the secrecy part
OF 1t and it is proposed to keep it in
tact.-Carson Appeal.

In connection with the gold strike at
Leadville, G. b. Dennis gives an incl
dent coming under his own observa-
ton recently in the East which illus
trates the strange ups and downs Of
mining life. Fifteen years ago an ac-
quaintance OF his was at the head OF a
mining company then operating at
Leadville. This company did consid-
cradle development work and secured
patents to a number Of claims, but as
success did not crown its efforts the
stockholders became discouraged and
the claims were abandoned.
A short time ago this gentleman re-
ceived a letter from Leadville. in which
be was offered $500 for n Of these
old claims. That set him TO thinking,
and he made up his mind to go out to
L~eadville, take q look over his old
stamping ground and see what was up.
AZ a result he discovered that the
claim in question adjoined the Little
Johnny.
The title to this old claim was in bad
shape, and he discovered that it would
require 5000 TO clear il up. He called
a meeting OF the stockholders, laid the
facts before them, and expressed bis
willingness to contribute his share OF
the money necessary to clear the title
and develop the property, but when he
informed them that $780, 900 might be
required for development work they
declined to undertake the hazard. He
then bought them out for small sums
and went ahead with the development
himself. A short time ago he had a
bona fde offer OF 81, ESQ, 900 for that
abandoned mine, and refused it.
