A LITTLE STREET TALK
The Rain Calls Attention to an Evil
 That Should Be Remedied

"Wc never miss the music till the swe1t voiced bird has nown," and the uplifting, elevating and religious in- fluence 9r dcccut crosswalks is seldom appreciated by q Phyonician till the annual. scmi-annuaI or quarterly rain storm leaves him mired down ankl- deep between two street. corners. fIiendle.,s. forsdl.cn and the perfect eN- republication Of sublime h lpl ssness.
 Nature. has done much for this ciy in matters tcposI aphicaI. The streets are comparatively level. there are no hills to climb, no swamps to fill up and the ueturaI slope of the corporation sits affords fairly good drainage. For tha gr- ater rarr of the year the surface is all sidewalk; that is, all of it nc.t with in private enclosures. But there comes d time, every once in a while. when the local resident is forced to plough his passage through pillows of dust or drcdge out lis salvation from a quag- mir of mud. Anl that time most ire queuty comes in the winter when Phoenix should always he at her best, when visitors are more numerous and when the impressions are mlde that DTluS ctIit5i 1id new IesIu-lltS l!fJo the city.

KING" COR GRAN IS DEAD
Boasted That He Killed Policemen
 For Exercise.

New York, Nov Fixing Cor coran. of "COrcoran's ROost," the man who boasted that he killed and maimed
 policemen for exercise, is dead. Cor coran's life went out early this morn ing. His wife, the only being who d:d not fear him. died three months ago. and since then the old master of the ''roOst' has failed in spirit. He was S7 years old but wonderfully robust for such an old man. For three gen erations the neighborhOod of the "roost," East Fortieth street, between First and Second avenues. has been the rendezvous of some of the most des- perate criminals of the times They were the guests of John Corcoran, and it was as much as a policeman's life was worth to get inquisitive about "Corcorans Roost," a great bare, rick ety frame building in the middle of the block. And if he made an arrest in the neighborhood it meant the badge of courage lacked to his lapel
 The King" died worth $lOO.OOO. it is said. It was once the proud boast of the King and Queen that ''only an Irish cop could patrol the beat upon which the roost was situated. Cor coran will have one of the largest fu- nerals ever seen on the East side

streets. This, however, is only an il- lustration, as there are dozens of places in the city equally as bad. Va cant lots adjoin these corners and one who does rot spend a dollar on his property is not likely to invest much on his sidewalk or cI'Jeswllk.
 Just what can be done in the matter is not clear at present, but somebody should have authority to do something It would seem that the city council should have authority to make these improvements, and tax a reasonable proportion of the expense to adjacent property owners. If such action is not authorized by the charter, the matter should be considered by the commit tee now at work on the new charter, else it should become one of the sub jects for discuSsion by all those inter- ested in municipal reforms. In short, tn re should he some kind of a way but of the trouble. Another thing that calls for attention is Uhe crosswall1s on Washington street in the center of town. Between the rails of the street car track there arc always puddl, s from two to six inches dcep. The eX- act depth is never known till blind faith Ieals the pedestrian to make a foot sounding The city officers can surely rem, dy this evil or see that the street car company adtcnds to it.

DENVER MASS MEETING
Protests Against Mob Law and De

Denver. Nov. 1S.-A mass meeting was held here today for the purpose If protesting against the action of the mob at Limon, Colo. which on Friday last burned at the stalks the young ne gro, John Porter who had confesse that he murdered 11-year-old Louise Frost.
 c. M. Hobbs, president cf the Y. M. C. A. presided. Speeches were made by prominent citizens, including Coy ernor C. $. Thomas. Mayor II. V. John son. of Denver. Prc sident Sl0cUm. of Colorado cc!lege; Rabbi Friedman, and Rev. Coyle. of Denver; Mrs. Sarah Plant Decker. prominent in National WCman's club circles, and others.
 They all spoke in strong terms con- demninS what they termed the 'Limol atrocity," and also denounced the sen sational display of Wrte-Ups concern ing it in the newspapers. The audi ence was stirred to almost riotous de- monstration of approval at times. The resolutions adopted admit the difficulty of adequately charactcrizinC the crime for which Porter was punished but declare that however much the negro, by his crime. merited death. no crime can justify recourse 10 such barbaric methods. and while the action of the people of Lincoln county is attribut d to excitement and passion, it is none

CONGER INTERVIEWED
That Chinese Court Will Return to Pekin Before Next Spring But the Commissioners Are in Photographic Csmmunica- tion-Military Operations at a Standstill-An Epidemic Feared

Pekin, Nov. 17.-(Via Shanghai. Nov. 1S.)-The belief that rhe note of tn. powers to the Chinese commissioners Prince Ching and Li Hung Chang, will be completed, is strengthened by re- ports of a recent informal conference of the ministers of the powers.
 MT. Conger. the United States min i5ter, said Rle- a correspondent of the Associated Press: "The situation is apparently very favorable to the early beginning of negotiations for preIim- mary settlement. I believe that the next meeting of the foreign envoys will virtually settle all the points of differ ence between the representatives of the pJwers, who will lose no time in presenting their demands.
 What the result will be, it is i'm possible Ro foretell. Events have placed China in a very critical posi- tion. Whether sine will be able to prs- serve her integrity and to save her trade relations with the rest of the world. will depend upon what the pow CTS demand in their final settlement. and upon her willingness to accept promptly the conditions proposed.
 Tt is quite unlikely, if not impos- sible, that the Chinese court will re- turn to Pekin before next spring. but do nOd anticipate any serious delay in the progress of negotiations with the Chinese commissioners. as they are in telegraphic communication with the court.'
 Military operations are virtually at a standstill. The German and ItaEan ex- petitions northward passed through Nanlau pass unopposed.

TANNERISM IN ILLINOIS
The Governors Guest For Cullom's
 Seat io the Senate.

C. Is. Humphreys, a travelling sales man for Chicago clothing house, was in the city yesterday and in couversl-
 tion with a Republican representa-
 tive spoke of the fact that Governor Tanner was playing his final cards to secure the seat in the United States senate, tl which Shelby M. CuIlom hopes for reelection by the next Iegis- lature. I'm seeking to v5nt his per sonal spite on Cullom, the governor came dangerously clese to handing H. linois over to the democracy" said
 M-. Humphreys. He carried his enmity so far that only the extraorli- nary campaign made by Richard Yates saved the state
 Tt is a preposterous idea that John Tanner should expect Illinois to reward him for an administration which has only been riv11ed in corruption by that of Altgeld. He knows and eySry leg isiator who is supporting him knows, that at the polls he could not be elect- ed-governor and there is only one rel- son that I can see Why he can expect the legislature to brave such a storm as his election would raise. He cannot expect to be elected senator. He has It tle or I1 nope Oi dNI6 dllIlS iSG-ltlt or Cullom. lie is not sincere in his cain didacy. He simply aspfrcs to great hOnors that he may fall into a position nearer the top than if he did not set his mark so high. Tanner will soon be out of employment. He has been in politics all his life and in office most of that time. Constant nourishment at the public crib has created an appetite that his return to his farm cannot sat isfy. He must have something to do after the first of January and that something must be official Therefore he has entered the race against Cull0m to stir up trouble and noise in che ex- pectation that for peace and harmony his party may be induced to give him a. place not far removed from his for mer high station. Tanner is one of the shrewdest rGanipulators of political wires that has ever happened, and leg islatures are proverbially cratic. but l have confidence enough in Illinois to feel sure that she will have no more of Tanner"
 According to Mir. Humphreys eX-Gov- ernor John M. Hamilton of Illinois, who made his home for the past three years in Arizona, is practicing in Chi CaEJ and his health is not of the best.
