MINISTER WI NOW UNDERTAKES
TO SEND A MESSAGE TO CONGER
HAY May GET MESSAGE
THROUGH TO MIR. CONGER

Washington, July 1.-THE Chinese
minister. Mr.. WI. has undertaken tc
get through a cipher cable message
from Secretary Hay to United States
Minister COnger. at Pekin, and TO de-
liver dack the reply Of Minister Conger
If he be alive. MIR. Wu forwarded the
cipher dispatch, together with an ex-
tended explanatory message of his
own, on Wednesday. and the results
are now being eagerly awaited both by
Secretary Hay and the Chinese min
lister, although it is appreciated that
some days must elapse before runners
can carry out this plan of opening up
communication between the American
government at Washington and the
American minister at Pekin
1t was soon after Minister WI pre-
sented the text of the edlct issued by
the Chinese imperial government that
Mr.. Hay requested him to get through
a message to Minister Conger. Since
the Chinese government had succeed
ed in getting through its own COM
municatiOn from Pekin Mr.. Hay felt
that it was quite reasonable to ask
that like communication be opened
between our minister and the govern
ment here. Mr. WI readily assented
to this proposition, and evinced an
earnest desire to use all his personal
and official influence in getting through
the messages. He suggested, how.
ever. that Mr.. Hay himself should
write the message in cipher, as this
would be proof positive to Mr.. Con
ger of its genuineness. The contents
were not made known to Minister WI
but in it's uninteligible cipher form I
was entrusted TO him to be placed il
the hands of Minister Conger at thl
earliest possible moment.

HON. EUGENE s. IVES.

Hon. Eugene s. Ives of Yuma, Arizona, IS one of the most prominent of the representative citizens of Ari- zona. Not alone is he prominent as citizen in thIs county and territory but previous to coming here, he oc- cupied many positions of trust and political preferment in the state of New York where for two terms he was member of the upper house of the New York Assembly.
 He came to Arizona from California four years ago. Although coming from California he had lived in that state but a short time. In Arizona he was, at first connectedwith 8 man. moth irrigating enterprise. During this time he became interested in the King of Arizona mine and the deve- lopment of this really king in 8 mineral way was to a great extent due to the foresight and executive ability of the Senator. He still retains his interest in this property and and is interested in almost every successful enterprise in the county.
 He has been admitted to the bar and enjoys large clientage, his prac- tice being confined almost wholly to the higher courts, or, if in the lower courts, only in cases of more than ordinary prominence.
 Senator Ives is public man who has the natural qualifications and the &C., quired know how of forcing his op- ponents, professional, or political, into admitting his ability.

ALTERNATES,
ANENT THE PRISON COTROyERsI '

We do not intend to take any
 part in this war of words through out the territory concerning the location of the penetentiary. There is just one point, however, that we wish to call the Governors atten- tion to. The charge is made that the penetentiary is too small to ac- comodate the present number of prisoners. Such may be the case but the prison proper now only occupies a small portion ot the prison grounds, and there has beer no additions made for many years The prison could be made self sup porting here much easier than al any other place. There are thou sands of acres not under water plenty of water to put on 1t anc plenty of labor to put the water on
 The prison to be self supporting does not need to be moved, and i

 physician for four years, and then for
 the ensuing four years was the terri
 toria! prison physician. At the ex-
 piration of that time his outside

 emergency physician for the s. P. Ky.

 ty that for the past twelve years ha' been in charge of a graduate in phar- i macy. The business is now in charge t of Mir. F. L.

 In every transaction, Dr. Cotter ha

YUMA JEWELRY STORE.

If you were to carefully inspect and consider the merits of each article, or articles, in the line of general mer- chandise you would find that in the entire list of all departmets there would be no single article of personal wear ing apparel CT adornment that would so conduce to feeling of personal or general satisfaction as fine piece of iewelry. And, were your investigations confined to the municipality of Yuma vou would concede, as have others, there is no better place to obtain it than at the Yuma Jewelry Store.
 Buying jewelry is largely matter of confidence. Hardly one person in 4 thousand of the population, outside of the iewelry trade, is qualified to accurately determine the quality and establish a correct valuation of a watch. CT jewel. Hence to make a success of the business a jeweler must have the confidence of the purchasing soublic to the same extent that banks enjoys from its patrons. II this is not inc case the would-be jeweler turns his attention to other lines of enter prise.
 The pjoneer store in this line in Yuma is the Yuma Jewelry store located next to Shorey's bakery. The stock carried consists Of watches, clocks, ienel,v, silseraaIe, silver ~are novelties etc. Repairing is done to ordcT and sas work is always guaranteed.
