THE WORK BEGINS.

Engineers OF the Hudson Reservoir
and Canal Co. Take the Field.
A large crowd gathered at the Offices
of the Hudson Reservoir and Canal
company yesterday morning to witness
the departure of the different corps for
the ''held." Under the direction OF
Chief Engineer Man one party left for
the diversion dam near the confluence
of the Salt and Verde rivers, while an
other party departed for the Tonto
basin. The entire expedition consisted
of two six horse wagons and two car
riages. With the chief engineer, his
assistants and their crews, went Col.
Hendershott, Wells Hendershott, Jr.,
Pierrepont Minor and also Messrs.
Edward Man, secretary and treasurer
of the company, and Mr.. W. H.
Rochan, cashier, the last named gentle
man having arrived from New York the
day before. Col. Hendershott and
the others of the office force will return
within four or five days.
The engineering party at the diver
sion dam will make such final measure
ments and soundings as will enable
Engineer Man 10 complete the plans
and specifications for the dam at an
early day, and it is expected that such
work will have progressed far enough
by the end of this month to enable the
com pany to advertise for bids on the
construction OF the dam and the con
Meeting canal over the adjacent town
ships.
The party at Tonic Basin Will make
such final surveys as will comply with
the requirements of the government in
the matter of perfecting the company'E
title to the basin.
Mr.. Wells Hendershott, Jr., who
ranks as one OF the leading electricians
of the country, accompanied the party
for the purpose of making preliminary
survey, preparatory to building a tele
graph and telephone line from Phoenix
to the dam and basin.

The latter view is in dissonance with
an opinion which Mr.. Fleming says he
had from the attorney general himself
and other lawyers that loan commits

A curious thing about this suit is that
it was flied at an hour in the afternoon
so near the hour at which the attorney
generals resignation was accepted that
it is dou btful' whether it WAS brought
in the name of the territory by a prop
erly authorized official or by private
person.

other persons three weeks ago, the ex-
attorney general has been providing

that the emperor OF China has ap-
pointed one of the members of the
Tsung Hi Yamen, of the highest Official
rank, named Chang Ying Hwan, to
proceed to Japan and arrange the terms
of peace.
The Japanese were by no means sure
that China was acting in good faith,
and they still have doubts as to her
sincerity. In any case they are far
from being confident that the first nege-
tiation will progress Satisfactorily. 1t
may even be said they more than ar
ticipate the possibility of failure to

Berlin, Jan. 12.-It was announced
this afternoon that Chancellor Prince
Hohenlohe will start tomorrow on his
long talked of visit to Prince Bismarck,
who is now at Frederichsruhe. This
visit has been postponed during Christ
mas recess owing to the fact that Prince
Hohenlohe has been suffering from an
acute attack of neuralgia in the face.
Prince Bismarck in spite of his in
tense grief at the loss of the princess,
his wife, remains in fair health. Re-
ports published in some newspapers
that his mental powers are failing are
quite unfounded.
Count Won Moltke, aide-de- camp of
the emperor returned to Berlin o1ay
after accom- plishing the imperial mis-
sion of presenting Prince Bismarck
with gift OF aowers yesterday, being
the anniversary OF the princes mem
orabe speech in the reichstag advocat-
ing an incraa se of strength of the Ger
man armv. The emperor's aide-de-
camp brought back from Friedrichs-
ruhe letter, in which Prince Bismarck
heartily thanked the emperor and ex-
pressed great regre: that the state of
his health prevented him coming to
Berlin in person.

THE WILD WEST SHOW.
Originated by n Herd OF Bu6alOes nj
Niagara Falls.

Denver Field and Farm.
The manner in which the Wild West
show idea was formulated is one of the I'M
written stories of the frontier. In 1872 Col.
sydney Barnett well-known citizen of
Niagara Falls on the Canadian side, con-
celved the idea of a buffalo hunt as an at
traction to tourists visiting the falls. Ac-
cordingly he bought and fenced in a large
common on the Hill back of the Horseshoe
falls. Then he came out hunting buffaloes
on the North Platte with some Pawnee
braves and John Omahondro, better known
to go to Niagara Fans sns take o c
captured capt But But, many, of the baffaiOes
tivty, and at the last moment Major
North. who was Indian agent at North
Platte. received an order from the Interior
the Pawnees TO sleave the reservation.
This upset Colonel Barnett's arrangements
for the buffalo hunt, and it was postponed.
Colonel Barnett then went to the Indian
Territory, where he engaged some Sac and
Fox Indians and Mexican cowboys and Sc
cured fresh lot of buffaloes for his show.
II was at Kansas City that he met Bill
Hickok. one Of the most daring and dash
ing scouts in the West, and he engaged
him to go East and manage the Niagara
Falls buffalo hunt. Hickok was magnifi-
cent specimen OF humanity, six feet tall,
straight as an arrow, carrying himself like
thoroughbred. with long blonde hair fall
tawny mustache. of which he took great
care. Custer, whose scout he was at one
time. SalQ OF MIN tnat, on 1OOt or on morse
back. he was the finest specimen of Ameri-
can manhood he had ever seen.
He was as gentle as a child and as play
full kitten. He fond of practical
Joking One OF his friends at Niagara
Falls was a young man named Woodruff.
who lived near the falls One day Wood
ruff fell asleep in an armchair in the bar
room of the little hotel where Wild Bill
was stopping. He had tipped back i'm his
chair and put his feet on the bar in front
OF him. Hickok came in, and when he
saw Woodruff sound asleep he drew a der
ringer and fired at the floor between Wood
rufus legs. He expected that Woodruff
would jump about ten feet. Instead, Wood
ruff never moved, except to lazily open his
eyes and blink like a sleepy dog at Wild
Bill.
This delighted Hickok. who brought down
his fist with a thump. crying: Your
game! l wish had you out West" Hickok
wore a buckskin suit-leggings and all-at
this provincial Wild West show. 1t was
just another such suit as Colonel Cody
wears now. On the street he dressed like
any other man. save that he always wore
the picturesque SOmbrerO OF the cowboy.
1t was his custom before starting a walk
to take a brace of pistols from his pockets
and raise the hammers to see If they were
all right. AS he always walked with his
hands in his pockets. they were neces-
sarily constantly on his derringers. That
was the only indication of his fighting pro-
pensities he showed. He was peaceful
enough when let alone, but ready for
emergencies
