off and he would explain. A quar-
rel ensued. and Haywoo d drew his
pistol and fired upon Love, the ball

A Sound Suggestion.

The following from ascorrespondent
Of the Hawthorne Bulletin Is full OIL
sound sense. If his suggestions were
carried out. it might be q little hard or
our statesmen. but would be beneficial
to the people at large:
Now that we are TO have an election
and a new Legislature, | want the
voters to demand OF the candidates for
the Assembly a pledge that under nc
circumstances. no matter how press
ing. will they introduce or vote for a
bill to alter or amend the game OF
mining laws. and If any Of them shall
violate the pledge they should hang the
aforesaid legislator to anything high
enough above the ground to keep his
entire body off the earth. | consider
this a necessary measure Of protection.
For the last $50 years every repre-
sentative who wanted to get a reputa-
ton and his name in the papers has
introduced a bill OF that kind, and it's
time that the fish. sagehen and miners
were let alone. They a all protect
themselves under the ancient law Of
the survival Of the flttest.

The plentitude of doves in this Sec
ton has brought two of our most emf
neRt attorneys into a state OF collapse.
They were employed pro and con- in
a case in an outside county, and when
his Honor appeared to sit in judgment
he was carrying a double barrelled
shotgun and had a regulation cowboy
hat On. The legal lights from the
Comstock we're demoralized by ap-
pearance Of the magistrate and took
no exceptions to his rulings. While
the writer would not in any way de-
tract from the reputation Of either Of
the gentlemen as military heroes II
seems strange that after driving rs
miles over a desert waste that they
should be knocked out by the decis-
ions OF a "hay-seed" Justice Of the
Peace. But this Is a century Of
wonders, and why should not Nevada
contribute its share.
The Judge claimed that he brought
his gun with him to kill a few doves
for his breakfast the following day. but
the attorneys thought ditferent.--Enter-

ENGLISH PRESS COMMENT.

LONDON. Dec. 2i.--Nearly all Of the
morning papers have editorials on the
action OF the United States senate ln
connection with the ay-Pauncefote
treaty They express regret rather than
surprise at the supercession OF the Clay
ton Bulwer treaty and unanimously de-
clare that II will be impossible for Great
Britain 10 accept the amended treaty.
"rhe United States has struck US a
hard blow" says the Daily News. "at
the fundamental principles Of good
faith among nations, az It's own reputa-
tlon and at the very constitution Of
the great republic"
I'VE are thankful" says the Daily
Chronicle. that the senate stopped
short OF amendments obviously design
Cd TO wreck the whole proceedings We
believe that compromise Is stlll possi-
ble. az the resources Of diplomacy are
not yet exhausted"
There ls a strongly evident desire to
do everything reasonable. as the Daily
Chronicle suggests, " meet the views Of
the Americans in all the comments.
Several papers. however. consider II out
Of the question that the British govern
ment should for a minute accept or
discuss the amended treaty.
The Standard argues on this basis,
while recognizing in the fullest man
ner that President Mckinley has labor
ed earnestly v combine American aspir-
ations with delicate regard for interna-
tlonal obligations" II says:
Time is on the side Of a friendly and
satisfactory settlement No harm win
be done II the whole transaction is
left as II is until March. when We may
hope the new senate may meet the ques-
tlon in fresh spirit"
The Daily Telegraph, which thinks It
is matter for compromise. says:
"our existing treaty rights cannot be
superseded in the summary manner
some senators seem TO imagine. but no.
body in England desires rigorous in
slstence on our claims and privileges.
The mere fact that a ratification Of the
amended treaty is desired in America
would naturally lead us to review our
own position and to attempt to find
some middle way Of amicahle agree
ment."

INSTRUCTIONS TO coNGER.

WAsnINGTON. Dec. 21.-Instructions
were sent today to Mr.. Conger at Pc
kin to sign the agreement, which. ac-
cOr'ling to Pekin advices. already has
been signed by all OF the other min
isters az the Chinese capital This in
structlon Is sent with some reluctance.
because the agreement as II now stands
does not completely represent the view
Of the United States government. But
It Is believed the most favorable COM
promise that could be reached. unless
the negotiations are to be drawn out
to a dangerous length. for all reports
indicate growing spirit Of unrest in
China. owing TO the absence OF any form
Of native government in Chi Ii and
the adjoining provinces. So the United
States accepts the ''irrevocable" con-
dition imposed upon the Chinese gov
ernment. though after all this trUu-
Bile IL is only matter of form. for
diplomacy knows no such thing as Fir
revocable" agreement.
AS to the British condition that the
occupation OF Pekln and Chi Ii is to
continue until China has given salts
factory proofs of her intention to COM
ply with the conditions laid down in the
agreement, it is said that this win not
affect the status OF the United States.
Mr., Conger has, by direction Of his
government notified the other ministers
that the United States forces viii not
again be called into China for the pur-
pose Of occupation. that nothing more
than a legation guard is to be main
tanned by the United States. and the
powers have accepted this condition. 1t
therefore is expected here that the
agreement will be signed before the end
of the current month.
