TOWNSHIP MEETING.

The mass meeting held at the DIS
PATCH office for the purpose of consider
ing matters in regard to the proposed
townsite for Wadsworth was largely at
tended. The map as presented by Sur
veyor 7. X. Stewart received consider.
able attention and was approved. The
U. S. statutes governing in such cases
were read by N. A. Hummel who was
elected chairman of the meeting and U.
S. District Attorney Summerfield who
was present kindly gave advice as to the
method of proceeding. In compliance
with the law requiring that citizen
and resident OF the town be appointed
by the meeting to represent the COM
munity in the proceedings to termina-
ton, n. A. Hummel was unanimously
chosen as such representative. AsJohn
Lee and T. G. Herman have resided
here since the Foundation for the first
building was laid and are among the
highly honored citizens of the burg, it
was unanimously decided that they be
the witnesses for Wadsworth in all papers
and documents required by the law.
The map was displayed in the Nevada
House several days and then taken to
Reno for duplicate copies to be made,
three of the maps being required in the
work; one for filing with the recorder OF
Washoe County, one for filing with the
Land Register at Carson and one for
filing at the General Land Office at
Washington, D. c.

Situation on Senator.

While there are several alleged oppo-
nents to VIM. M. Stewart for the posi-
ton OF U. s. Senator from Nevada, to-
wit: B. F. Leete, A. G. Cleveland, q.
Pierce and F. G. Newlands, we failed,
OH recent trip to western towns, to
find expressed sentiment anywise alarm
ing in favor of any of the gentlemen
named. The whole fact and truth of the
situation, at this writing, is that Wm.
NJ. Stewart has distanced all bis compe-
tors and will undoubtedly lead the race,
if SO it may be called, to the end and
land under the wire sure winner, if
not very, very easy one. In Carson
City, where we were led by news
papers to believe was the fighting
ground for months past and the hot
bed of opposition to him, we found TIE
situation and sentiment exactly that
shown on election day and the returns,
that is, three out of four legislators
elect are Stewart men, and three out of
four of the citizens Of Ormsby favor
Stewards return to the Senate. With
this condition Of affairs in the west and
the east being 80 per cent Stewart, it is
peculiar the opposition does not know
how badly it is defeated at this time and
arrange for terms Of peace forthwith.

Among the police arrests in each year In
New York are a few for violation OF the
bottle law" There has been held In this
city this week the State Convention Of the
New York Bottlers' Association, now In it's
tenth year, the several hundred members
OF which maintain u department for the
prosecution Of offenders and a clearing
house" with a record Of 5000, 900 bottles
interchanged in a year.
Prior to the present bottling law an ex-
tensive trade in bottles was carried on to
the deception OF consumers and the g%rievous
injury OF many merchants. Especially in
the case Of mineral and carbonated waters
and OF proprietary medicines and perfum-
cry. inferior or adulterated articles were
substituted. The difficulty OF detection WAS
as great as the difficulty OF legal conviction
after detection, and not until the adoption
Of the existing law on the subject, q most
comprehensive measure Of a kind dupli-
Gated in New Jersey, Kentucky. Florida and
other States, has there been any radical
abatement OF the abuses complained OF.
The Bottlers' law provides for a publica-
ton, as in the case of an ordinary trade
mark. Of bottle devices, brands or distin-
gushing marks. and it is unlawful for any
person "to fill with soda waters, mineral
or aerated waters. porter, ale, cider, ginger
ale. milk, cream, beer. small beer. lager
beer, weiss beer. medical preparations, per-
fumery, oils or proprietary compounds"
any bottle a description OF which has
been published; and the unauthorized
possession Of such bottles is declared to be
presumptive evidence of unlawful use.
The penalty on conviction is Imprisonment
for not less than twenty days or more than
a year n a fine for each bottle trafficked
in. In its practical operations, while an in
cldental advantage comes to reputable
bottle manufacturers and dealers, the
preservation Of public health Is subserved
and the danger resulting from the use of
harmful authorizations reduced.
The cooperation OF the bottle dealers
they had a national convention in Balti-
more In 1s0S-is a sign OF the general
tendency toward Industrial consolidation.

noussi Is equally influential In Fezzan and
In the sultanates north and east Of Lake
Tchad, while the caravans which traverse the
stretch OF desert betw cen Fezzan and Borku
transact nearly four-flfths Of the Trans-Sa-
hara trade, the former routes from Algeria
and Tunlsia to the central Soudan having
been practically blocked by the Tuaregs,
who occupy a region as large as France.
Even could this obstacle be overcome, Lake
Tchad could be reached by rail far moro
quickly and cheaply from some point in
Tripoli thar from Gabes in Tunisia or
Biskra in Algeria.
Italy having rendered England an impor-
tant service by the occupation Of kassala,
her statesmen not unnaturally feel that tho
interests OF their country. viewed MS the
eventual owner Of Tripoli, should have been
considered by Lord SALISBURY when he
entered into n partition agreement with NJ.
DELcAssE. 1t would be unreasonable, low
ever, to demand that the controversy be-
tween France and England touching the
ownership Of the Bahr-el-Ghazal should be
kept open for an indefinite period, lest Eng
land should seem to countenance French
cncroachment on q part Of the Soudan
which Italy regards as the hinterland Of
Tripoli. Besides, Lord SALISBURY has not
arrogated the right to set aside any claim
that Italy may ultimately put forward to
the territory in question. He has simply
said that England, for her own part, will
waive any pretensions that she may have
had to the tract west OF the watershed Of
the Nile. That leaves France to settle the
question of title with Italy. and also with
Germany. whose sphere" Of Kamerun
touches Lake Tchad on the south, and may
be thought to give her q right to the adjoin-
ing sultanate Of Baghirmi.

The confession by EDWARD ATKINSON
that he and the gang OF which he Is an
agent are e~ndeavoring to stir up mutiny In
our army in the Philippines by denouncing
its employment TO maintain American SOW
ereignty in those islands, and by lauding
the ignoble AGUINALDo as another GEORGE
WASHINGTON, was not necessary to make it
apparent that there Is a concerted scheme
or plot in this country for the purpose Of
aiding and abetting the armed enemies Of
the nation. The cabal which is engaged in
the reasonable business is small, but it Is
doing its best to make trouble by the cease
less pursuit Of its m%alevolent enterprise.
Boston seems to be the headquarters Of
the gang, though here in New York 1t has
in the Evening Post its most malignant and
reckless confederate.
Has not this conspiracy gone to IN ex-
treme great enough to make it proper for
the Government to take cognizance Of
it offlciallyp 1t Is a plot OF miserable cow
ards. OF course, IL il they had reason
to fear that they would be held accountable
for their crime they would sOon run to
cover. More effectual. however. will be
their punishment by public sentiment.
Every newspaper which acts US an agent
for the conspiracy should be made to feel
sharply the popular resentment against its
malevolent and reasonable activity. 1t
strikes at the national honor, and thus at
the material interests Of the country.
Such a newspaper is an assassin Of the
national reputation and accordingly Of the
private credit which is dependent on it.
The effort Of this traitorous gang Isl % pre-
vent the speedy establishment of American
sovereignty in the Philippines and the
full restoration OF the peace which is 30
essential to national prosperity. The con-
spiracy is openly for the encouragement Of
the pestilent AaUINALDo, and for the pro-
longation and defeat Of the military move
ment for his subjugation.
Never before In the history Of this coun-
try has there been a viler plot against 1t
than that Matched by this dastardly brood Of
traitors. Their effort has been futile. Of
course, and they are few in number, but for
the very reason that they are so few they
can all be singled out the moro easily for
punishment by the popular contempt.

Thomas Moran and william v. Birney.
Certain phases OF the uncompromislng
methods OF painting employed by Gustave

galleries Of Durand. Tluel. In one OF the seven
landscapes. q view by q river with some tall
trees. a grassy lane and q sky OF blue with

cuts hard and dry against the blue Is worth
noting. for II is iniexactly such a way that the
tyro Is prone to paint. Bat whereas the un-
skilful fail to give the appearance OF nature 1t
is in this case remarkably well reproduced.
The contrast between such a passage and the
treatment OF o similar effect by Coros is very
marked.
The most important canvas In the gallery
Is q picture showing a saddled horse standing
at liberty In a forest with his head down. ey-
ing a bat-eared bulldog barking at him. The

The other pictures. with the exception OF an
unimportant fruit piece and a composition de-
picting a great hawk tearing at the .vitals OF a
young deer which lies dead with its feet in the
air. are landscape motives realistically treated.

The Battle OF Manila.

DEwEY's victory Mt Manila was won on n
Sunday morning, just q year ago to-day,
lacking q day. The idea OF a Dewey Day
will live as long as the United States.
SPANS power to continue the war with
the United States was broken at Santiago.
Actually she was overthrow by Gen. SHAF-
TER and Rear Admiral SAMPSON. Her dis
aster at Manila was not vital. Yet, instead
OF having a Shafter day or a Sampson day.
we have a Dewey Day.
Why?
Because DEwEY's startlingly brilliant and
perfect triumph revolutionized our relation
to the Pacific Ocean, and gave US a foothold
on the shore OF Asia that cannot fail
to be of immense political and commercial
value.
SKATER and SAMPSON defeated Spain,
but DEwEY's deed meant fresh American
growth-expanslon and the American peo-
pie, touched in their imagination, and glory
ing in ability to reap tho natural fruits Of
DEwEY's prowess, with practically one voice
have singled out DBwEY as the most memoir
able hero Of the conflict.

Siberia's Wheat.

few years ago some Of the best writer's
on the Russian Empire, including Prince
KRAPoTKIN, believed that the wheat-pro-
ducing capabilities Of Siberia had been
much overrated, and that the country
would never be able to produce much more
Of the cereal than it needs for its own con-
sumption. But as the Siberian railroad has
pushed through new regions, and thou
sands OF Russian families nave followed its
advance and made new homes, 1t begins to
look as though the writer's who held pessi-
mistio views concerning Siberian agricul-
ture were mistaken.
In the Altai mining district. last year,
over 100000 tons of surplus wheat wero
produced and only 8 per cent. OF tho avail
able agricultural lands have yet been
brought into cultivation. In the fertile
steppe country opened up by the western
section Of the railroad, $4,000 tons of
wheat were raised for export where until
recently it was necessary to import wheat
every year for local consumption.
