THE CHINESE CAPITAL.
Most Anomalous and Surprising Place
in the World.

Pekin is the most Incredible impossible
anomalous and surprising place in the
world, says a writer in the Century; the
most splendid, spectacular, picturesque and
interesting city in China; Central Asian
city Of the far past; a fortified capital of
the thirteenth century handed down intact
Pekin is the capital of all China, yet
what interests and piques one most gives
Pekin it's own individual character, and
distinguishes it from the other cities of
the empire, are the things thet are not Chi
nese, the contrasts and the contradictions.
Pekin is by first intention permanent Tar
tar encampment; a fortified garrison OF no.
mad bannermen surrounding Patching, the
northern palace of the conquering khan OF
khans. The tartar ruler of four hundred
millions of subject Chinese is closely sur
rounded by his faithful Manchu clansmen
from beyond the great wall, who scorn and
hate and secretly fear the masses of Chi
nese more than any outer enemy; who have
thrown themselves into the arms Of Russia
through fear of the Chinese who have
bargained that Russia shall send soldiers
to their aid when needed; who have held
back and turned back the wheels of prog
ress with certain prescience that the
new order would relegate them into poverty
and extinction. Every Manchu is borne on
stipend, even IL he never bends bow or
hurls stone in military drill. But the
Manchu bannermen are no longer the fierce
warriors their ancestors were, nor their
khan even hardy huntsman like the early
Manchu emperors.
There had been three cities there before
Kublai Khan did his stately pleasure-dome
decree, and
So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were grdled round
to make the splendid capital Marco Polo
first described. The plan, the palaces, the
walls, all date from Mongol times, the thir-
teenth century. The same quaint military
customs OF the middle ages are observed,
The soldiers are drilled in archery and
quoits, and the nine city gates are changed
to at sunset, shutting Chinese subjects out
in a separate city by themselves, as II
their conquest were just accomplished.

Aftermath of the Reception.

The executive committee on the Fifty

INTERSTATE WATER RIGHTS.
Problems Growing out of Irrigation
in the West.

The study OF the irrigation question by the
Office OF experiment stations OF the United
States Department OF Agriculture is now be-
ing pursued by the collation. and publication
Of information regarding the actual status OF
irrigation in the arid regions as regards
lave, institutions etc,
Since few of the important streams used
for irrigation lie wholly within the limits OF
any one state, and there is great diversity
OF irrigation laws in different states. inter-
state complications over water rights have
been frequent and must become more and

age, the principal case being that of ]. A.
Gregory, the desperate and horsethief who
shot Constable Nose at Loveland and kid
naped Sheriff Morgans son, joe Gregory's

continued indefinitely so that the grand jury
could take hold of the case and thus save
the expense of the examination before the

of the many suits brought about by John
W. Paul's operations in this city and is an
