London, Sept. 21.-The following is
received here with a Picking date of
Sept. 10; it is copyrighted by the AS
ISOLATED Press: Active military op-
erations are about to be resumed, with
a view of ensuring coal and food sup

restoring trade. General Chaffee and
General Barrow, second in command
of the British troops, held a conference
today and decided TO dispatch an An
glo-American column 1900 strong to
San Hal Tien. under General James H.
Wilson, to capture the arsenal there
and dispense the Boxers. The column,
which will leave tomorrow, will in
clude two battalions of the Ninth Unit
ed States infantry. a detachment Of
the Fourteenth United States infan-
try. 500 British and four guns.
AT the conference it was decided to
ask the Germans to send a column
westward to dispense the Boxers and
to restore normal conditions. The
Japanese and French are operating to
the northeast of Picking. The sale OF
loot belonging to the Americans has
begun. General Chaffee at first pro-
posed to burn it, but finally decided

Washington. Sept. 21.-The status of
the Chinese situation at the close of
yesterday according to a high authori-
ty is as follows: There are now before
the department OF state a number Of
notes awaiting answers. Those in
clude the German note concerning the
surrender of Chinese ringleaders; the
original Russian proposition for the
withdrawal of troops from Picking,
which has not Yet been acted upon as
finality; Il memorandum from the
Russian government asking as to the
purposes of this government, and re-
quest by PrinceChing that instructions
be sent to Minister Conger to proceed
with peace negotiations at once. In
addition there is verbal inquiry from
the French government as to the pro-
gramme of the United States.
Our Programme To he Stated.
These various communications have
accumulated slowly, and an under
standing has now been reached by tho
administration that there shall be a
general clearance of the entire subject.
This may be expected either late to-
day, or early tomorrow. 1t will clear
ly enunciate the programme of the
United States on the various queS
tons presented. There viii be separate
notes, according to the character of
the communications addressed to this
government: that is, the recent Ger
man note Will be answered by a note
and the memorandum of inquiry from
Russia will be answered by a men,
orandum, while the French verbal in
Quiry will receive a verbal response.
(. VIII Disagree with Germany.
AS to the contents of these several
communications the authorities are not
willing to give any positive intima
lions, though as far as the German
note is concerned the belief is almost
general here that the response of our
government will amount to n declina-
ton TO make the surrender of the
offending Chinese n condition pre-
cedent to negotiations of any kind.
Concerning the Russian proposition
for withdrawal, 1t is stated officially
that II stands now the same as first
presented. there having been no modi~
fications whatever on the part OF Rus
STA up to the present time.

least one instance. 1t prevented an
unknown thief from getting away with
an outfit owned by Liveryman George
A. Snavely. The horse was tied In
front of a place on Main street while
the occupants of the rig went inside
While they We're in the place the thief
cut the hitching strap and drove away
hurriedly with the rig.
On West Walnut street the crook at
tempted to lash the horse into run
The horse resented the treatment by
coming to a sudden halt. All efforts
to move the horse failed and the thief
finally abandoned the outfit on the
street, where it was picked up short
time after by a policeman.

Irrigation in Hawaii.

Interesting irrigation developme is reported from the island of Hawa in the discovery of underground GU rents. Immense subterranean strean of the purest water have been u covered from ,500 to 1000 feet abo' the sea level. The water will l fumed down to the sugar plantation at lower elevations, affording [ abundance for irrigation.
 From five subterranean s.rear tapped within the past few weeks u Olaa plantation has secured contini ous flow of 2O,OOO,OOO gallons evel twenty-four hours, more than enoue to irrigate the plantation, which is u largest in the island. The water h; drained from the surface into the sul terranean beds of ancient lava.
 In the Hawaiian cane fields, und irrigation, the average yield is r ported as 534 tons of sugar per acl and reaches in some cases as high as tons per acre. The Louisiana sugi yield is on an average only 2,S pounds per acre and reaches as high 3,200 pounds or little over E tons.

GREAT MINING DEVELOPMENT.
t Would Result Through Water Storage Output Of Mines Largely Depend-
 ent Upon Irrigation.

The western half of the United States today supports population ranging somewhere around five mil lion. Much of this population has been attracted by the cry of gold, and the capital invested to-day in western mines is enormous. Yet it is not tithe of the amount which the value of the mineral laden ore of the west warrants; only these minerals are locked largely in the grasp of the arid belt. Water is what is needed. Hills and mountains of extreme richness lie. undeveloped and desOlate, surrounded by barren deserts or sagebrush plains. Capital is slow to venture into such places, even with great mineral wealth in sight. Gold is not the only metal, tons of which are locked in the rocky bosoms of the western sierras, but all the family of baser metals are richly represented and the question of trans portation enters largely into their mining. Railroads will not follow mining camps alone. But reclaim the arid lands of the west; give to them settled agricultural population, and here too will be source whence to feed the men and the mules that work the mines; feed them at reasonable rates. Many torrent of great volume rushes down the slopes during the period of melting snows and spreads away in glistening stream across the brown plain, but before crop can be raised its volume has wasted and its bed become dry sand. Yet store this water in mountain reservoir and il would afford perennial supply capa- ble of irrigating land whose fertility has never felt the washing, weakening power of rain. Then, along with ths agricultural development could com, mining development.

STORAGE RESERVOIRS.
The Reclamation Of Arid America Would Furnish an Unparalleled Market to
 Manufactures.

That the eastern manufacturer is awakening to the possibilities of an irrigated west as market for his pro ducts is shown to some extent in the remarks of Mir. Ton L. Cannon, the representative of aa Eastern mauu- featuring association, at the recent transmississippi Congress. MT. Cannon said in part, If the water that goes to waste in the mountains of the arid regions were stored and controlled it would save to the Federal government, by preventing floods in the overfiowed lands along the Mississippi river, more than the cost of construction and oDer- alton of reservoirs. If arid America were made humid, the crops produced would give 10 the Federal government revenue in the way of increased taxa tion millions of people would be em- ployed; millions of homes would be established, and the richest country ever known to She world of commerce would be developed.
 If steps were taken for the con struetion of storage reservoirs by the Federal government for the reclama- tion of arid America, the next fifty years would show a ratio of increase sin population far greater in this sec tion than during the past fifty years.
 1T believe it to be the duty of every man who is interested in populating the western half of this hemisphere as densely as the eastern half is populated. to aid in the reclamation of arid America through irrigation by means of Federal storage reservoirs, which will serve the double purpose of irri- gation supplies and flood protectors.

Mrs. Beard Aban6ons Hope of Securing
 Arizona Interest.
IFrom the PhosnIx HeraId.I

I
 Mrs. J. Velasquez Beard, who has been in Phoenix for the past two months in an effort to persuade the iu- terest of Arizona capitakin her project for railway from Banderos Bay, Mex ico, to Phoenix, departed hence satur- day night and announced her intention of going to Fl Paso. Texas, and secur- ing Texas in nfluence and coin to build her railroad. Mrs. Beard's case is pathetic instance of woman's effort to fulfill mans mission, and the con- sequent failure.
 Her husband, Professor William Beard, was man of means and abil- ity. Three years ago he conceived the idea of road which would give a mer- cantile outlet to the. rich agricultural aud mining country in western and central Mexico and give Arizona 8 close connection with seaport and resultant decrease in freight rates. He obtained concessions from the Mexican government for that part of his road from Bauderos Bay to Culia- can, and surveyed the greater portion of the line. He secured the interest of reliable capitalists and his project seemed assured of completion when the spanish American war began, and
