STILL DiSPUrING

The dispute ls 10 the beginning of the twentieth century continues, although those who maintain 1t will begin at mid light one week from tomorrow are diminishing in num- her. The Washington correspond ent of thc Chicago Record presents this information:
 They tell me at the papal legation here that the recent decree of the pope granting permission for the celebration If midnight masses on De ,ember 3Ist should not be con strued, as has heen the case by many newspapers, as a declaration on the part of the holy father that the nineteenth century ends on that date. On the contrary, the church calendars fix the close of the cen tury at midnight on December 3ISt, 1000. The special privilege of cele- brating mass at midnight of Decem Der 3Ist. 1899, is for the purpose of introducing the holy year 1900, which is to be year of thanksgiv ing and gratitude to God tor the blessings that have been enjoyed during the cl, sing century, and of prayers tor the conversion of the world during the century which is about 10 begin.
 As the church of Rome has been the conceded authority i'll such matters since adoption oi the Grego- rian calendar this declaration should settle the matter.

AWAk EWING.

The small cattle growers are awakening to the iniquily of the proposed enactment to lease the un sold public lands for grazing pur- poses. Says the Lordsburg Liberal.
 The Carlsbad Argus has com menced a fight aga nst a proposed act of congress It is proposed to have congress pass an act providing for the leasing of all the public lands, that are not taken up. for grazing purposes. The Argus fig ures that if this Is done few big cattle and sheep companies will ac- quire all the de,ireabla public land and will turn out all the little iel- lows in the business. The Argus is probably right. The big com panies will do this if they can. The Argus protests strongly az iinst this proposed act. and in its protests is backed up by most of the prominent papers of the terri tories.
 Protests against the proposed en- actment should be prepared all over the cattle growing region and sent on to congress just as quickly as possible.

NEXT SUMMER AT TWO O'CLOCK.

One of the first acts ot the new administration in the Nogales GUS tom house vas to reinstate MT. Richard Reynolds who was removed eighteen months ago by fraud-his alleg d resignation, which MT Key holds branded as forgery, having been forwarded to Washington. He was assigned to duty as deputy col lector at Buenos Ayres, relieving MT. R. F. Hanna, who returns to his former post as export clerk at Nogales. This reinstatement of MT. Reynolds was just and com mendable, and meets the approval of all right thinking people.
 When THE OASIS stated, in July last, that MT. Reynolds would be reinstated the Vidette replied: "Yes; next summer at two clock. ' So that muse now be the time of day.

THE management of the Boer battalions and "commandoes" as their armies are called, shows mili- tary science of the first order. Some of the best soldiers in Europe and America have been quietly getting into South Africa and into the army of the Transvaal republic-ever since the Jameson raid. They saw that war would come and give op- portunity for their talents and train ing. Among them is a son of Gen eral N. B. Hood, the famous con federate chieftain. He is a gradu- ate of West Point, about thirty years of age, and the genus of his great father seems transmitted to the son.

A MEETING of farmers was held at Phoenix Saturday of last week to organize to bring upon congress counter-pressure against the movement recently set afoot to in- duce abolition of forest reserves within the territory.

PLANS FOR KILLARNEY.
and Other to Have an Aristo-
cratic Settlement.

LONDON, July 2S.-It is asserted that
Mr.. Peck, named us purchaser of the
Muckross estate. including the lakes of
Killarney, Is only tigurehcad i'll the
deal, which he engineered or behalf of
Mrs. Edward McConkey, niece of
the late Samuel T;lden.
Mrs. McConkey is the wife of ID rich
Baltimore engineer, who is now resid-
ing in London.
Mrs. McConkey enlisted the aid of IL
famous Irish peer on the one side and
of Richard Croker on the other, and
though the purchase was made by her
alone, both of these gentlemen gave her
assurances of theiI aid i'll developing her
plans.
Mrs. McConkey's idea was to create
around the Killarney lakes an arisDO-
cratic settlement on the Tuxedo plan,
devoid of the clubhouse feature.
The fortunate combination of an Irish
peer and Mr.. Croker has interested both
Americans and the Irish people in the
plan.
Mr.. Croker has been in town for the
last three days, busily engaged with his
solicitor III preparing the deeds for the
purchase of the principal site adjoining
Muckross House. For the site alone he
stipulated to pay GOO, 900 and he is re-
qulred by the terms of the sale to put a
proportionate amount in residence
and he agrees to employ at least 80
Irish servants on the ground.
The Irish peer interested will secure
the adjoining tract, where an equally
beautiful building will be erected.
Muckross House will remain in the
possession of tine Herbert family III per-
petuity, but the rest of the estate will
be put Oh the market, under strict stip-
ulations as to minimum values of the
residences to be erected.
The picturesque caves Of Colleen
Bawn will pc preserved and a large
modern hotel is to be erected there.
The great object of the scheme is to
aid residents about Killarney to aid
themselves by building up tourist travel,
which, it is hoped, will benefit the
whole island i'll it's political aspect.

JAPAN'S GREAT ARTIST.
He Was One of the Most PrecOciou,
Children of His Country.

Hyosai, who appears to have achiev-
ed more as Japanese artist than any
other man of his nationality, was one
of the most precocious children in the
FIowery Kingdom.
As a child of > he made friends
with a frog on q long kago Tor litter
journey and drew its portrait as soon
as his mother set him down at the
journeys end. At he drew
every aspect of the human figure as
he could see it in the brawIs and
wrestling bouts of the lowest quarters
Of the city, which he haunted patient
ly, sketchbook il hand, for weeks and
months. At he captured the sew
cred head of a drowned man from a
swollen river and brought it home to
study in secret, as any other child
would treasure Il toy or sweetmeat.
At 10 the same painter showed the
true artistic temperament by setting
up his easel to paint burning house
when he ought to have been helping to
rescue the victims from the flames. A
little later he exhibited an audacity in
obtaining the models he desired which
the most courageous of European
painters would hardly venture TO imi-
tate He followed some ladies in a
daimio's house, where he was en-
ployed in decorating a room.
The girls fled from him. and he ran
after them. down long galleries and
across gardens. till they were terrified,
thinking he had gone mad. Then he
suddenly stopped and returned quietly
10 his work. When reproved for his
temeriiy. he produced his sketchbook
and showed a careful outline of rare
and antique pattern in the sash, or
obi, worn by one of the girls which he
had caught sight of as she passed and
had sketched as he chased her.-New
York Journal.

Oldest Brick In Existence.

At one of the recent meetings of the
Academy des Inscriptions ct Bellies
Lettres, in Paris, the keeper of the
Louvre, NJ. Henzey, showed n brick
which is undoubtedly the oldest in ex-
iStence, dating, it is estimated, from
the fortieth century B. c., says Stone.
The brick in question was discovered
by the French savant and antiquary
De SarZee during recent excavations
at Tello, the ancient Sirpulo in Chal-
dea The brick was somewhat curved
and had been baked, but was of such
crude form that it evidently had nei-
ther been put in a press nor nodded.
The mark of the maker was simply the
imprint of the thumb. 1t was clearly
made very soon after the discovery Of
the art of brickmaking, which art, as
is universally admitted, marks the
dawn of civilization. Other bricks Of
a much more recent date were shown.
Some of them bore the mark of the
coat of arms of Sirpulo, an eagle with
the head of lion. Others again were
inscribed with the name of the reign
ing monarch.

NOT LIKELY TO HAVE WAR.
Japan and Russia Have Agreement About

WASHINGTON. July 2S.-The reports
that Japan aud Russia are arming for a
struggle over Korea are received with
much allowance i'll the diplomatic quar-,

out that an entente cordiale was ar
ranged between TWO countries last year
concerning affairs i'll Korea. This ar
rangement Is still i'll force and there has
been no evidence that either govern
ment desired 10 depart from it.
In diplomatic quarters, concerned
with the affairs OF China aud Japan, it
is silG that the illfeeling between the
two countries. dating back long before
the war made more acute by that
struggle, recently has been oblIJerated
by several graceful and significant cour-
tesies exchanged between the emperor
Of China and the emperor of Japan.
