The Chinese Consul, Yang Wei Pin,
has not resigned his post. Despite ru-
mors and published statements Yang
Wei Pin will remain as consul in Homo
lulu until ordered elsewhere in the reg
ular course of events. His appointed
term expired some time ago and as is
customary he forwarded his resignation
to the Chinese Minister at Washington.
He received instructions to remain here
so the resignation is Withdrawn. The
Consul likes Honolulu and is establish
ed in permanent fashion with his in

Activity of President nIaz-

Powell Clayton, ambassador to Mex
leo, on a recent visit to Washington
told a story illustrative of President
Diaz' activity, despite his years. In
company with the president the am
bassador visited the Mexican military
academy. 1t happened to be the hour
of exercise, and many cadets were en-
gagged in the gymnasium. Rope climb
ing was one Of the exercises. From
rings in the timbers of the roof, 40 feet
from the ground, ropes were suspend
ed, and up these the cadets climbed.
using only their hands to raise and
maintain themselves. President Diaz
and Ambassador Clayton looked on for
a few moments and then, to the aston
ishment of the American, the presi-
dent of Mexico stripped off his coat
took hold of one of the ropes, and went
up, hand over hand, to the top as MIN
bly, as any of the cadets.

KANSAS VERSUS COLORADO.
To Enjoin Colorado From Taking
all The irrigation Water.
ACTION IN SUPREME COURT.

Topeka, May Attorney General
A. A. GODDARD will present to the SUI
preme court of the United States a
motion for leave to file bill in equity
on behalf of the state of Kansas to en-
join the state of Colorado from further
diverting the waters of the Arkansas
river and its tributaries for irrigation
and other purposes Mr. GODDARD left
for Washington with a grip full of
briefs in support of his motion.
This action on the part of the attor-
ney general is of vital interest to Kan
sas, and especially TO settlers in the
Arkansas valley, involving as it does
about SIS. 900, 900 worth of property.
The Arkansas flows through sixteen
Kansas counties, forming a rich valley
of 2, 500, 900 acres. The river has a
strong natural flow and underfow, but
the state of Colorado has for many
years pursued policy of practically
appropriating or attempting to appro-
pirate all the water which was by
nature intended to come down this val
ley through Kansas. To such an ex-
tent has this damaged Kansas, and
especially the portion thereof in the
Arkansas valley, Mr.. GODDARD concluded
to see whether the highest court of the
land can afford this state some needed
| and equita bic relief
The counties affected are Hamilton,
Kearney, Finney, Gray, Ford, Edwards,
Pawnee, Barton, Rice, Reno, Sedgwick,
Sumner, Cowley, Harvey, Kiowa, Stat
ford.
E. F. Ware, of Topeka, and S. S. Ash
baugh, of Wichita, have for some time
been investigating the propositions in
volved, and several months ago the for
mer suggested to Governor Stanley the
propriety of having a suit of this ma
ture instituted and some time since the
attorney general and Mr.. Tracy of his
Office, assisted by the gentlemen above
named, set to work upon the prepara-
ton of bill in equity which is now
prepared and printed, ready for fling.
! Mr.. Wares name appears on the bill
with that of Mr.. GODDARD. The suit
will be brought upon the authority of
Governor Stanley, as the chief execu-
| tive officer of the state

Combination Truck.

Usually in stevedoring and railroad
work, where truck has to be used,
the factor of time is the most impor-
tant consideration, and any device or
arrangement that will make the work
of the trucker easier and more rapid
is eagerly sought after. A com bined
truck and carrier recently built pos
sesses these merits. At the end of
the usual truck there are two extern
sion pieces, terminating in handles.
These pieces are securely braced by
socket pieces embracing the base
frame, and tie-rod passing through
them to give greater rightly. This
arrangement of double handles allows
the truck to be dragged about rapidly
and conveniently and to be loaded and
unloaded with the greatest facility.

Single Trust Beaten.

Tacoma, Wash, May 1.-The single
trust, composed of nearly 800 single
mills in western Washington. has been
broken by the refusal of the big mills
to continue the shut down. All mills
will accordingly resume business at
once, though the market is livestock
ed. Prices have slumped 10 to Is cents
per hundred, which represents all the
profits in the business, and are likely
to tumble still lower. It is believed
that eastern dealers have been stand
ing together in their determination
not to buy from trusts at prevailing in
creased prices. The trust is known
officially as the Washington Red Cedar
Single Manufacturers association and
was organized early last year.

AN AWFUL
INDIAN DEVIL"

In the town of Strong. Me-, on the
route to Rangeiey Lake region, lives
prosperous young farmer known
throughout the county as Lew"
Johnson. In his boyhood and early
manhood, before marrying and set
Ting down to tiIling the soil, he
lived much in the woods. numbering,
hunting, surveying timber and gath
ering spruce gum. On his recent visit
to the Boston spOrtsman's show, he
was looking at the big stuffed panther
in one of the Canadian exhibits when
he was asked if such beasts are now
to be found in Maine. The animal in
question was a big wildcat whose
weight, when alive, must have been
$50 pounds, 1.-THE and slender in body,
but with enormously developed quar-
tiers and wide paws armed with ugly
looking claws. the whole making a
"critter" not to be despised even by a
well-armed man.
Whether there are such cats as
that fellow in the Maine woods now or
not, I can't say" replied Johnson, "but
1 do know mighty well that there was
one of them in Perham. way up be-

this one, and not to be mistaken for
those little bobcats, with their stub

an Indian devil" because they were
