 Speaking of the improvements to be made at Clifton by the Arizona Cop | per company, the Bulletin says: A ] tunnel is to be driven under the works I and into the mountains back of them where it will connect with shaft | from the top of the mountain. This | shaft and tunnel are to be used as a | dust chamber for all the furnaces as well as to conduct the smoke from the | conyerterS away from the town. Thus the dust and smoke from the works, which are the only disagreeablc fea- lures of the town, are to be done away | with. An entirely new water system for the town is to be inaugurated, the water for which will be brought from up the river above the mineral belt, which now gives to the town d poor water supply.

NO MATCH FOR wALCOTT.
Mysterious Billy smith Commits n
Foul to Save Himself.

Hartford Conn, Sept. 26.-Joe Wal
colt and Mysterious Billy" Smith
fought at the Coliseum last night, the
fight being scheduled for twenty
rounds. AT every stage of the fight
Walcott proved himself to be Smiths
superior. He fought him all over the
ring, landed at will. and at the end of
the ninth round Smith had received so
much severe punishment that he COM
planned of his left hand being bad and
wanted tc quit. Johnnie White of New
York, the referee. refused to allow him
to do so, and in the tenth round Wal
colt went at Smith hammer and tongs,
administering terrific right and left
swings In the stomach and head.
Smith, who had fought foul in some
of the earlier rounds, demonstrating
that he was no match for Walcott, de-
liberate!y fouled him by holding,
whereupon he was disqualified and
sent to his corner by the referee and
Walcott was declared the winner.

County Seat Removal.

Olivia, Mimi, Sept. 26.-The county
commissioners of Renville county met
yesterday to consider the petition for
removal of the county seat from Bea-
yer Falls to Olivia. This petition was
filed Sept 8. and is the largest ever Sc
cured, containing 1856 names, or over
so per cent of the voters of Renville
county. There have been six or seven
contests for removal prior to this one.
but though the great majority of the
people have desired the removal, some
technical error has prevented 1t In
each case. Beaver Falls was made the
county seat about thirty years ago.
Little improvement has been made
since that time, as there is no railroad
and no hotel accommodations.

stiII in Danger.
GERMANS DEMAND.
European Powers Want Her to
Abandon Them.


London, Sept. Pa semi-official an
nouncenent has been issued in st.
Petersburg that the European cobinets
are enga ged in an endeavor to induce
Germany to abandon her demand for a
! surrender of the instigators of the anti
foreign outrages as a preliminary to
peace negotiations.
The Vienna correspondent of the
Standard states that Russia's reply to
the German note is friendly, but al
though ii appears to consent to Ger
many's proposal it practically disap-
proves by asking whether it would not
be best to open peace negotiations first
and to make the punishment of the in
stigators of the outrages the first SUBJ
ject of discussion.
According to the Berlin correspon-
dent of the Daily Express Germany
VIII Make n New Proposal,
namely, that the great powers form an
International court to try the Chinese
officials accused of completely in the
outrages.
The Morning Post has the following
from its Shanghai correspondent. dated
yesterday: THE Russians reently or
ganized an expedition toward Mukden,
which has already reached Lao Yank.
about midway between Niu Chwang
and Mukden. 1t will probably encoun-
ter opposition. Prince TIan's ascen-
dancy creates a very grave danger.
The only hope for foreigners is that
the pro-foreign viceroy of Nankin has
not yet been removed. Tuan's ennis
saries are working hard to get him out
Of the way by murder or suicide"
The bulk of the continental press
Is StiD Discussing
Americas reply, which is generally re-
gar rded AS encouraging Ii Hung Chang
TO delay negotiations. Gen. Gribsky,
military governor of Amur. has pub
lished elaborate regulations placing all
the regions along the Amur river now
occupied by the Russians entirely un-
der Russian law and authority. The
Chinese are forbidden to return to the
left bank of the stream. He also is
sued proclamation declaring the an
nexation of Manchuria to be punish
ment for the attack upon Blagoves-
tchensk. and exhorting the inhabitants
hereafter to respect Russia's power
and to live in peace and quietness on
their fields.
semi official communication to the
Cologne Gazette disavowing any de-
sire on the part of Germany to
Execute the Instisators
of the outrages on the strength Of the
testimony of the foreign missionaries,
and says: THE international court OF
Justice would look upon the question of
their guilt and would pronounce sem
tence. To look on with complaceney
while a mockery of justice, such as the
United States demands was being en-
acted, would mean a renewal of the
massacres."
Commenting upon the reproaches
which the Cologne Gazette and other
German papers have leveled against
the United States. the Berlin cores
pondent of the Times says: What
ever may be thought OF the attitude of
the United States. 1t hardly seems wise
from diplomatic point OF view to
hurl these taunts at another nation
which experience has shown is by no
means in the h.sit OF pocketing or
forgetting such attentions"
