Washington, Dec. 18.-In reply to d question Senator Taller said that he would oppose the confirmation of Mr Charles Page Bryan to be minister 70 China, upon the ground that he has had DO experience or training that would justify this government in se- ,ecting him for the most important ms sion that we have at the present time 1t cannot be doubted that certain Euro pean countries intend, If they can pos sibly find am excuse for so doing, to dismember China and divide up that great territory between them.

This attempt a dismembeIment of China will in all likelihood give rise Ito serious and complicated diplomatic controversy in which this country will be involved.

The English Stockholders in
 the Jersey Lily Co.
WAS < REFUSED ASSAULT
A Manager and a Waterman
 Would not Weaken
The Attempt ts Set side an Order of the Court Having Failed the English EmisearieS Sneaked Back to DSnv@r.

Prescott, Ariz., Dec. 1S.-(Special)- J. It was rumored this morning that the Jersey Lily property was under Win chester rule. From inquiries it is learned that idha original owners Of the Jersey Lily mines have not Osen paid for their property. The AGgf1t Continental company, which has somle contract with the Jersey Lily company, both Interpretations being Engl eh, sent party of men ifrcm Denver 10 take possession of the mines.
 The crowd filts. dsmande1 pcssession of everything from the ma ager, claiming that he was deposad and h t one of the party Was appointed to his place. The manager called their attention to the fact that a number of debts had been incurred by the company under his management for which he felt morally responsible and he declined Ito discuss the matter amy further with them until all these bills were paid.
 The Denver party them obtained teams and went out to take forcible possession. Arriving there thsy found everything locked up, but they tried to bulldoze the person in charge into giving them possession. He quietly told them he knew no author ity but the ma ager. After a good deal Of bluster and a feeble attempt to break into the shaft house and chsl- lenging the man in charge to show his forces they, believing discretion the better part of valor, withdrew and re- turned to Prescott. In tihe morning thsy stole out on the early train, let ting nome know that they intended leaving unll they paid their bills and hurried off for Denver. The prop er1y is now in the hands of the sher- if under am order of the court and had these filibusterers gone too far the consequences might have been serious.
 Prominent mining men here are firm in tfeYeinion that the mine was never 'fsaDted' and is today good property. Tons of pay ore were hauled into Prescott before the alleged ''sa.t;ng." The concensus of opinion is that the suit is piece of jobbery on the part of the English stockholders.

Washington. Dec. 18.-Congres5 to- day adjourned until January D. The open session of the senate was bri f, the time being consumed in the int O. duction of bills and resolution, one of the latter calling for information fem various departments being passed One of the resolutions agreed to i'm creases from $5O,000 to $62, GOO the amount ito be expended by the govern ment on the buildings at the trans Mississippi international exposition to be held at Omaha, and reduce by $12,500 the sum to be expended upon the government display.
 During the executive session the sen ate received and adopted the confer ence report on the bill providing for the extension of relief to miners in the Yukon river territory.
 The Klohdyke relief bill passed en- bodies a provision giving the war da- pertinent authority to use the military aIm of the government in the execu- ton of tlhe relief measure. It is not contemplated that a large military force will be required.
 The authorities look with much favor on this expedition, as it will draw the officers and men from the inactlvities of garrison life and will give them a mission in which courage and daring analogous to that of act i've military service will be required.

PENSIONER WITH A CONSCIENCE
Satisfied That He is All Right, He Re turns the Government Gratuity.

Washington, Dec. 18.-A remarka- ble story of a pensioner with con- science has just been brought to light by a press dispatch from Vincennes, Ind. The hero is a veteran named Keith of that town, who sends back his pension money because his con
 science won't allow him to keep it. The man served nearly five years as corporal in company B, 26th Indiana, and was honorably discharged Twen- ty years after the war had ended. he applied for pension The exam;n- ing board that surveyed him certified that his digestive apparatus was in bad condition, and he was allowed S10 month. That was in 1884. Dur ing the next eight years, his digs tive apparatus apparently grew stead ly worse, for he secured three in creases at various times. But in 1892
 the man appears to have been struck with the fact that his appetite was good, that his food gave him no trou- ble, in short, that there was nothing at all the matter with his digestive apparatus. At any rate he informed the bureau that he was not satisfied that under all the circumstances he was entitled to a pension and began to return the money as it was sent
 His name was thereupon dropped from the rolls, on the face of his own statement that his disability had ceased. In 1895 he applied again, and was duly charged by the examining board with diseased kidneys, impaired digestion, and collapse of the nervous system. For this he was promptly given SIP per month and his name re- stored to the rolls. Now comes a let ter from him saying that 'the same difficulties of conscience arose as in the former case" and that he could not, after a long trial, succeed in dis covering the disease which the board said he had. He went on to say he had held his certificate of honorable discharge for over thirty years, but he would wait still longer for his pen sion, until such time as the govern ment saw fit to grant it to him for some such disability as old age, from which he knew he was suffering. He therefore returned his certificate and $495S6 received thereon There is recorded one other instance of a man s sending back pension money; on in-

CLUSTERING SPAIN ImpaTCIal NiSintsrprets the
 Presidents Policy
A CURSING OF THE YANKEES
Terrified By a Story of the
 Gulf Squadron
With Taunts and Threats the Lead
 ing Spanish Newspaper Breathes War With the United states and
 Predicts Success for Spain.

Madrid, Dec. 1S.-The Inparcia1 in an article on the United States con- gress, says: After the insults and calumnie5 against Spain our eXcelleI- t almost protector President AIcKinl ey as compensation, is going Ito send a squadron to the Gulf of Mexico. A measure was never so Unnecessary as now, since Cuba has a captain general whose policy is just and humane, ard Spain has jus tmade great concessi ons to Cuba. This is because the Yam kees are seeking to justify the policy of the insurgents who base their hopes on the intervention of their friends
 The sending of this squadron will reWivify their hopes and cause a continuation of the struggle. The intervention of the United States is wholly unnecessary. Those who kep. silence in the presence of the German cruisers in iHayti do not dare risk the disapprobation of Europe. We know means which will foil the ;ricas of the Yankees. These means are the great wisdom of Spain, the great loyalty of the island, the great activity in our arsenals and the great energy of the government. It is unnecessary to m5n- tion the patriotism of Spain."

 One of the results of the anti civil service conference of republican con- gressmen last week is the announce ment that pe-haps the adminis,ra ion will act in the matter before congress. It is rumored at the treasury depart ment that an order is contemplated taking the deputy collectors of inter- nal revenue out of the classified ser vice, and that this will be followed by other changes, not only in the treas ury, but in other departments.
 So far, as congress is concerned, it is expected that the house commit tee on civil service, soon af-er the holidays, will report a bill carrying out the ideas of the more mod rate of the opponents of the extended civil service system, and that a vigorous effort will be made for it's consiiera- tion by the house The measure te- ported will probably, in addition to fixing narrow limits within which the classification shall extend, propcsa some tenure of office for clerks in the classified service. and will aim to cur tail the powers and check thei growth of the civil service commission. The general understanding is that the democrats will assi5. the republicans opposed to the law, provided the pro posed -modifreations do not go tco far

FIXING FOR MORE TROUBLE.
An Episode Remindful of Days Down
 on the Farm.

The smoke of one disturbance has no sooner cleared away than repre- hensible persons have begun collec-- ing the materials for another. Clerk Lee Gray of the board of supervisors and County Assessor Frank Luke are engaged in preparing long list of names of taxpayers of the, county from which another grand jury will be selected. But this grand ury will not be needed until the May term. The list will be turned over to the beard of supervisors at or after the January meeting and i'm due time the proper officials will shake the names together in box and draw out fifty Out of these fifty will come the eighteen or twenty -one who will ag,1ats the community next May.
 Speaking of grand juries generally and the late one particularly ard thS way it kept many citizens skippial { about and lying awake of nightS. xl man said on street eorn5r ysS (. day: That grand jury session rem sd me of an episode fin which I pal kased every time the preacher cann Gur house.

Ha'd make for the ban again and hesitate when he got to hcle. I'd make a dash for him, but would capture only a, handful of tail feathers. That rooster was safe und.r the barn. Then I'd be set on the next best fowl If he got away, I'd have to chase third-class doos ser aad SO on until I got one in my class and could run him down. I was the grand jury, my mother WAS the compqafnng witnesses and the district attorneys office, the preacher was the trial jury and court, and the roosters that get caught were the fellows indicted.''
