MESSAGE FROM EARL Ii.
Promises That Life and Property of
Americans Will BE Respected.

Promises That Life and Property of
Americans Will BE Respected.
Washington, Sept. 15.-The crisis that
was near at hand Wednesday over the
evacuation proposal of the Russian
government has been averted for a
time at least, and the diplomatic side
Of the matter has become again the OBJ
ject of attention The order to Gen.
Chaffee to leave at once which was ex-
pected in some quarters, did not issue
yesterday. Instead earnest efforts are
making to arrange the preliminaries
for the negotiations which are expected
finally to settle the Chinese troubles.
Ii Hung Changes message yesterday,
giving assurances that henccforth the
life and property of Americans will be
respected in China removed, perhaps,
the last obstacle to the speedy begin
ming of these negotiations, and the only
doubt that now exists is as to his abil-
tty to redeem his pledge to protect
American interests and stop the out
RACES upon the missionaries and native
converts. If he can do this, and thus
manifest the existence of de facto
government, there is no reason to
doubt that negotiations will be imme-
diately in order. The notice that Rus
sian troops will not evacuate Pekin
until some arrangements have been
made for the installation of a govern
ment to take charge of affairs, is di-
rectly in line with the aim of the state
department, and which it has been
pursuing in the exchanges with Ii
Hung Chang, and if this Russian de-
cision is adhered to, it certainly will
facilitate the ultimate withdrawal of
all the foreign forces in the opinion Of
the officials here. An inference from
the Russian statement is that LIS COM
ing to Pelsin will be forwarded by Rus
slams in the hope of making the desired
arrangement for the establishment Of
a Chinese government there. AS Ii
cannot reach the capital from Shang-
hal, starting to-day, inside of a week,
It may be that there will be develop
ments in the international situation
within that period Of time. Our gov
eminent has not been advised even yet
that all Of the answers to the Russian
note have been~returned. 1t is said that
all of the powers have been heard
from OF the subject, but the disposition
Is to regard their communications not
as answers, but rather as argumenta-
tive statements which leave the main
issue still open for discussion. This
point, however, becomes of diminished
Importance in view of the announced
purpose of the Russian government to
modify the terms of it's original prop
osition in the manner indicated.
Earl Ii Starts North.
Mr. WI. the Chinese minister has
received a dispatch from Ii Hung
Chang announcing that he expects to
leave Shanghai to-day for the north.
Similar information has been received
at the state department from Consul
General Goodnoek. Earl Ii should
reach Tien-tsin III about three and a
half days. At Tien-tsin Ii Will for
mally assume the viceroyship Of the
province Of Chilli to which he was ap-
pointed some time ago. After short

The principal object of Maitre La
BORIS lecturing tour of the United
States next winter. it is said, is to re-
cuperate his fortunes, destroyed beyond
repair in France by his connection with
the Dreyfus case. Not only did his
defense of the prosecuted captain
bring him no return for his services,
but lost for him his expenses, his neg
lected clients, and any prospect of
professional success in the future on
account of the unpopularity of his
success in the "grande affaire."

Cave Creek Mining Country

The drift of tb-day's report fidif
the Cave creek country of Newton
county, shows fully the merit OF the
North Arkansas zinc field and at
the same time it throws into promi-
nent relief remarkable mineral
system, 1t is to be seen that a study
OF its dual zinc formation will be
sure to silence for all time to come
such Joplin critics as "still have it
III Tor Arkansas. For if it shows
anything, to SEE and understand the
underlying formation to their own
country, it will be necessary to ex-
plore the Arkansas field, beginning
with the first lesson which it affords
in the Cave creek country.
The TIMES, within its recollection
as a North Arkansas newspaper, has
not been stranger to the Cave
creek mineral system of Newton
county. Beginning with the devel-
opments made by the Boston Noun
tain Mining & Smelling Company,
which ceased operations in 1874.
and continuing with the succession
OF the CRANKY Mining & Smelling
Company, which added largely to
the holdings OF its predece ssor, much
had been said of the Cave creek
country. But it is not of record
until the present time, that the pres
ence of two mineral bearing forma-
tions in it's territory had been den-
tilted in the interest of the public.
Nor anything made known of facts
in the case that show how effectu-
ally its sub-earboniferous mineral
basin sustains the North Arkansas
zinc formation in general, beyond
anything it is otherwise possible to
do or say in its favor,
This is only of the theory which it
establishes. For it follows that
great possibilities must present
themselves in a duplicate country to
the best region of the Joplin zine
field, with the surface nearly worn
away to the level OF the ore, and the
mineral, both lead and zinc, as far
as it has been shafted, present in
bodies of 20 to 60 feet in thickness.
This is exclusive of the area of its
silurian ore bearing formation, For
it transpires that the superficial ex-
tent of its heavy mineral, or sub-car-
boniferous formation, known to be
such at the present time, is six to
eight thousand square acres, with
every reasonable indication to bear
out the probability, OF the same for
