toward US? Yet this is exactly what ba,
happened in China, with the addition
that Japan took for herself the island Of
Formosa. And so the Chinese people are
hostile to the foreigners, and they show
1t by riotous demonstrations.
But it shall not be said that I am de.
tending China in this war.
NO question can arise as to the duty OF
our government in this emergency. We
must protect our people at all hazards.
we must send armies If need be, so that
live.
But what shall happen after the war
IS over! This is the rub. 1t cannot for
moment be doubted that the world in
arms can conquer China. 1t is highly
probable that $4,000 European troops
can march from one end of China to the
other.
There are about 10000 troopsi lin China
who have been drilled by German and
Belgian officers, and are armed with
modern guns. l have been assured bv
their drill masters that they are as good
as any troops, but what are they numer-
'caIly as compared with the forces which
can be brought against them?
The balance OF the Chinese army is
armed with spears and long swords and
would not stand a minute before Eu.
ropeans or Americans, Foreign drilled
Chinese troops are the force which is
bombardlng TEN tsin at this moment.
All the world has been selling arms to
China, and has been clamorous to furnish
military officers, and now she is utilizing
the material and the experience. 1t is
hight for life for the foreigner. All the
wealth of foreign banks, manufactures.
railways, steamships, stores, warehouses,
together with the numerous missionary
buildings, is hanging on the issue. Should
we tail, many man would be poorer
and many family will have no bread.
That China must be compelled to com.
ply with the provisions of the treaties
admits OF no doubt. 1t matters little
that the present dynasty is swept away
and a native Chinese is put on the throne;
but it greatly matters to America that
partition shall be prevented, and that
the autonomy of China shall be pre-.
served.

DAVIS Ys. GANDOLFO.
Rents and Attorneys Fees Discussed
 to a StandStill.

Last week Attorney Davis sued John Gandolfo for $50 attorneys fees and Mir. Gandolfo retaliated by suing MT. Davis for about two yesrs house rent at $1O per month. Judge Thurlow last Saturday wrestled with the intricacies of the case. The subjects of rents and attorneys fees were pretty thoroughly discussed.
 No regular rate of rental could be established, inasmuch as renter gen erally took what he could get, and some times a good Louse does not bring in as much of the coin of the realm as some less favorable quarters. And then again a tenants willingness and ability to pay is another consi- iteration. A tenant who pays regular ly at the end of each month is much in demand and some times bids are made for him.
 AS to lawyers fees, no regular rate prevails here either. According to the statements of the distinguished legal lights (among whom was Mark Smith) who testified in the case, a lawyers fee generally depended on clients willingness and ability to pungle. Some attorneys are in the habit of drawing larger fees than others, not that one lawyer is worth more than another, but circumstances, environ ment and association makes differ ence in a lawyers nerve to charge large fee. A man like Mark Smith who has associa Jed with the nabobs of statecraft, kings ot finance and big bugs of other spheres at Washington, D. C., well, of course his ideas would naturally be eXtravagant, and he would charge and command largefree than humble practictioners like Pierce Evans or Harry Carpenter, whose only diversion is Arizona's legislatures and Judge Streets tribunals. To plead few cases before Yuma county justice courts and to put in the balance of the time fighting mosquitos and wait ing for the client that never came has a tendency to create dreams of large fees but 1t doesn't justify the charging and, collection of the same, and client has a right to register lusty kick when overcharged.
 Attorney Robertson represented MT. Davis and District Attorney Brown appeared for MT. Gandolfo. Judge Thurlow Monday morning rendered his decision, which, after all things being summed up, MT. Gandolfo was found to have $I0 the best of it.

Natural Wonders.

There are many curious things to be seen out on the Colorado Desert, which section is likely to come into prominence within the next few years, owing to the large irrigation project now under way there. Among other things, you may travel there for many miles in depression 200 feet or more below the level of the sea. There are also strange mud volcanoes, where hot water bubbles up from the bowls of the earth Another curious feature of the desert is the COW tracks, which stand almost a foot high. These tracks are generally made during a rainstorm, and as the ground is then soft, it is compressed where the cattle step upon it. It hardens as 1t dries and the wind blows the sand from around the tracks, leaving them stand ing in some places foot above the level of the ground. L. A. Times.

The ArgOnauts.

Recorder Marvin this week received letters from J.W. Davis and Al Wright which were written on the steamer Thresher somewhere in the North Pacific waters and given to passing ship to be posted. The letters state that all the Yuma boys on board are we'll and in high spirits. Mir. Davis states they have had heavy winds and have not made good time. One of their life boats was lost in storm the first night out and was not recovered. The letters were written on the 29th of April, and the boys were expecting the Thresher to land at Dutch Harbor, Alaska, within a short time from that date. They send regards to all Yuma friends.
