MERCHANTS ON CHINA
Favor a Stern Policy in Ar-
 ranging a Settlement
Little Business Now With the Chinese But Great Industrial Movement Expected to Follow Restoration of Order.

New York, Sept 5O.-Most of the merchants and steamship agents in this city who have established business in terests in China favor a stern policy with the Chinese authorities in arrang- ing for a settlement over the recent outrages by the Boxers ct al. They are for policy which will prevent in the future any such outbreak as the last, and put the business interests in and with China on a safe foundation.
 At present there is little or no busi- ness with any of the Chinese ports. these merchants say. Little or no tea is coming down the YanS-Tse river and other imports have decreased or disap- peared. Tea merchants are divided as to the falling off in shipments. Some believe that little tea is being prepared for the market by the growers. while others believe the growers in the interi- or have not stopped preparing their product. but that they are afraid 10 ship it down to the coast under pres ent conditions, fearing their tea will be stolen or destroyed by the Boxers if ft is discovered, and that they prefer to hold it on their plantations until the

None of the firm doing business with China are discoI,r- aged.

With this fair and quite possible prospect in view they are anxious for a speedy settlement.

London, Sept. 3O.--All the news about China today emanates from Shanghai and consists of the announcement of the imperial edicts ordering o5latiJns before the coffin of Baron von Kct- teler and directing that Ii HunG Chang's entire plan be followed for the punishment of the princes and high commissioners of state responsible for the anti-foreign outra ges. Another edict orders that funeral honors be paid in Pekin and Tokio to the remain. of Sugiyama Al5ira. the murdered chan Cel!or of the Japanese legation.

 The annual naval report published by the office of naval intelligence contains an article by Lieutenant De Steigeur, on the subject of wireless telegraphy, reciting what each of the naval pow CTS has done towards utilizing the Marconi system. In general it appears that the experiments have resulted satisfactorily and the British army in South Africa, by using kitesI for yer tical wires. succeeded in transmitting messages eishty-five miles, or more than ten miles further than the dis tanre from Tien Tsin to Pekin.

DEFEATED THE STARS
Plank Team Won By Small
 Margin.

Before an audience of rather large Phoenix lark. the Plank ball nine de- feated the Union Stars by a score of 10 to 9. The game was m, entirely de- void of errors and, in fact. was far from an exhibition of perfect base ball, but was good enough and close enough to provide plenty of amusement for the crowd. The only features of particular moment were in the battery work. The teams lined up in the following man nGT:
 Planks-M. Long. catcher: A. Wor- nell, pitcher; :. Osborne. first base; w. Swcem. secand base: F. Long. thirl base; ". Tyson. short-stlp; II. Long, left field: J. Harnum, center field; F.

AGAIN IN JAIL
Sheriff Murray Captures One of the
 Supposed Burglars.

Another chapter has been added to the tale of the Mesa city postoffice rob bery and one of the supposed burglars who cut his way out of the Tempe cala- boose on Saturday is now in the county jail. where files are not supposed to be easily secured and where it would take a man with a good kit of tools some time to work his way out to freedom.
 Sheriff Murray and Deputy Moore left here early Sunday morning. arriving in Tempe about daybreak. On his visit to the Tempe calabOose Saturday. soon after the men were first placed in jail, the sheriff not only took a good look at the faces of the prisoners, but made a mental note of many details. among which was the fact that they had been at work on their shoes in such a man

MONEY TO MOVE THE CROPS
Washington to Provide-Vanderlip
 on the Demand.

Washington. Sept. 30.-Assistant Sec
 retary Nanderlip has returned from New York, where he had a conference with the sub-treasury officials in regard
 to supplying the present demand for small notes to move the crops. Mr. Nanderlip said that while the demand had come little earlier and in a slight ly stronger volume than last year, it was not in any sense extraordinary. The treasury. he said, was never in q
 better condition to meet all demands. This was equally true of notes of small denominations. Small silver certifi- cates in any quantity could be supplied instantly to meet any call, and upon the deposit of silver certificates of large denominations, ones, twos and lives or tens would be forthcoming. For the present the department would meet the present call by exchanging small gold certificates and United States notes for large ones in about equal proportions.
 The higher price of cotton in the south, MT Nanderlip explained had stimulated an early movement of the crop. and the high price had called for larger amounts of small notes than last year. In Chicago and the west it had been believed that the call for small notes for those sections would be less urgent this year than last, but latterly the demand has increased to or beyond. that of last year. That. to- gether with the calls from the south had found the New York bankers rath- CT short-handed in small notes, but it was expected that all demands would be met promptly after a very few days.

END OF THE CONFERENCE
Today's Business Will Conclude the
 Annual Meeting.

The nineteenth annual Arizona Methodist conference will reach d con- clusion some tiTe today.
 The days work will begin with q PentacOstal service at S:30 and the business session will open an hour later. The business for the final meeting is perhaps the most important of the con ference in that the assignments of the various ministers in the territory will be read by Bishop Hamilton. There are several changes to be made. but accord ing to the usual mode of procedure the list remains unknown to the ministers until the formal reading. So far as can be learned changes in pastorates will occur in the Tempe. Jerome. and prob ably number of other churches.
 Reports of pastors and various com mittees will be read at todays meeting and il is likely that the large amount of work on hand will necessitate practi- caIly an all day session.
 The chief interest in local church matters yesterday was centered upon the meetings at the First Methodist church. Bishop Hamilton delivered ad- dresses at both morning and evening services and to the Sabbath school. and
 
 smith In the evening the bishop ad- dressed a very large congregation. using as his text "Salvation Is of the Jews.' \ quartette composed of Miss Parker, Mrs Gilland. and Messrs Reedy and Ghristy. provided the musi- cal part of the programme. One of the most interesting meetings of the day was that in the afternoon of the Vari- ous young peoples societies of the Phoenix churches. where the Rev. H., w Peck of Prescott was in charge.
 There was no evening service at the First Presbyterian church. the congre- sation uniting in the meeting at the Methodist church. At the morning ser vice solos Were rendered by Miss Palm CT and by Mir. Andrews.
 At the Baptist church yesterday the services were of great interest and were well attended. In the morning Rev. J. H. Henry. pastor of Methodist Episco- pal church in Tucson preached a very able sermon on The Jews seek after a Sign"
 In the evening Mrs. P. Botllin of Los Angeles. corresponding secretary of the Wuman's Home Missionary so- ciety, of the Southern California con ference. gave an admirable and most interesting address on mission work.
 All of the visiting ministers to the conference will leave the city either this evening or early tomorrow morn ing. The bishop goes to the Texas con ference, which opens at Fl Paso on Wednesday. He will be accompanied by the Rev Dr. Smith.
