NEW BASIS FOR
NEGOTIATIONS WITH CHINA

Prospect of Entangiements Induces the
United States to Make New Sugg estins.
The secretary of state has addressed
an identical note to the powers inter.
ested in the Chinese situation, setting
out tersely and afresh the object of the
United States government as to China
and pointing out how such objects as
are common to the powers can best be
secured.
The note marks the initiation OF
fresh negotiations on our part of new
basis to tide over the impossible situa-
ton created at the last meeting of the
ministers in Peking.
Some responses already are at hand,
and it is stated that generally our ad-
vances have been well received. and
the State department expresses satis-
faction with the progress SO far
achieved.
1t is believed that the note Is an ap-
peal from the extreme course suggested
by some of the powers as to the treat
ment of China, especially in the matter
OF punishments and indemnities to
which the ministers at Peking seem
inclined. The intent is to push the
/ negotiations on more rational and
business-like basis.

Decision Against Irrigation.

The Nebraska Supreme court, in an
opinion by Chief Justice Norwal. has
rendered decision which may stop all
irrigation projects in western Nebras-
ka The opinion holds in effect that
the owner of property adjacent to a
stream has the right to its water un-
diminished. This is the old English
common law, and it was against such
ruling that the irrigation companies of
the west were fighting The suit in
question was one brought by the Craw.
ford Irrigation company to establish
its right to divert water from White
river. The right was opposed by the
owners of the mills on the stream, and
the contention of the mill-owners is
sustained.

Referred to by English War Critics as .
Second Weyier.
The Forthcoming promotion Of Major
General Lord Kitchener to a lieutenant t
genership elicits from Charles vii.
liams one of the leaders of the war
critics, the bitterest indictment Of that
general ever published in England.
lie declares General Kitchener medi-
tates restless and ruthless extermi-
nation Of the Beers, hoping to execute
his atrocities amid silence like that of
the tomb of the Mahdi. He believes
the British officers and men will not
endure this, and that Kitchener will
stand revealed to the country as a
scourge inexorable.
Mr.. Williams apologies to satan for
mentioning him in the same breath
with Kitchener, and maintains that
the designations of several general
officers and the removal of General
Keily-Kenney from Blomfontein con.
firms the suspicion that they would
have nothing to do with Kitchener's
dirty work"
