The Coconino sun., 1901-10-12

DURING the last three months the government receipts have exceeded expenditures by pearly seventeen mil lion dollars. The reduction of war taxes has been offset by decreased ex- penditures, and the surplus for the fiscal year will show but a small falling off.
The Coconino sun., 1901-10-12

GOOD roads pay. A defective road is source of steady loss and constant inconvenience. There has been lots of money spent on the roads of Coconino county, and yet the county has but a few miles of road that are more than passable. What the county needs is a systematic way of building roads and the latest improved machinery for road building.

Funston Commended.

WASHINGTON, March S0.-The war
department today made public portion
of the cablegram sent yesterday to Gen
eral Macarthur, conveying the appre-
citation Of the president and secretary of
war of General Funston's capture of
Aguinaldo. 1t is as follows:
WASHINGTON, March 29.-Mac Arthur,
Manila: The president directs me to
express his high appreciation of the gal
liant conduct of General Funston, and
of the officers and men of the army and
navy engaged with him in the Palanan
expedition. The secretary of war per-
sonally joins in this expression.
(Signed) CORBIN.
There is excellent reason for the be-
lief that the portion of General Corbins
message not made public relates to the
case of Aguinaldo, the question of whose
deportation is now a source of some per-
plexity to the administration. Although
it is more than probable that General
Mac Arthur is asked for an expression of
his judgment as to the best course to
pursue with regard to his prisoner, it is
barely possible that the message con-
tains definite instructions on that point.

ELOQUENT APPEAL TO CAR
Count Tolstoi Espouses Cause of a
Prosecuted People.


LONDON, March 3O.-With a petition
of Doukobher women begging to be al
lowed to join their husbands in Canada,
Tolstoi has written the following letter:
items of hundreds of Russia's best
children suffer trials as heavy, and even
heavier, than the present religious per-
secution that in inconceivable madness
spreads wider and wider over Russia,
but which enlightened men and govern
ments have come to regard as futile and
stupid injustice.
81 have long felt it to be my sacred
duty to endeavor before l die to open
your eyes to the senseless and horrible
cruelties perpetrated in your name.
This touching appeal of the Doukobhor
women forces me to delay no longer.
Thousands and thousands of men,
deeply religious and thus representing
the nation s truest and highest strength,
have been brought to ruin, imprisoned
in exile or driven forth from Russia.
''Take this matter into your hands.
Heed not the counsel of men who in
stigated the prosecutions; heed not
Pobiedonestzeff, an evil, obstinate,
hard hearted man, born out of his time,
nor Sipjagim, a short sighted, superb
ctal, unenlightened man, but revise or
repeal all the existing stupid, repug-
nant, shameless laws enjoining religious
prosecutions, which have longed ceased
to exist in every civilized country ex-
cept Russia

MAY APPEAL TO THE COURTS
Vessel Owners to Take Action Against
Striking Engineers.

BUFFALO, March 3O.-The vessel
owners of this city claim that unless the
striking marine engineers return to
work at the opening of navigation they
can bring action in the courts that will
result in revoking the licenses held by
the engineers.
They base their contention on prece-
dent which they say was established in
1897, during a strike of Mississippi pi-
lots, when the solicitor general Of the
United States decided that their refusal
to pilot boats was a conspiracy in re-
straint of commerce, and revoked their
licenses.
While the vessel owners do not say
definitely that such action will be taken
here, they intimate that important de-
velopments may be expected soon that
will force settlement of the strike.

XII YUM'S LITTLE SISTER
The Story of a Chinese Child.
BY SIN SIN FAR.

@o%o%o~o%o&o% @o@o@o@o&oS
Ku Yum lived her little life in large
room in the top story of San Fran
cisco Chinatown tenement. It was
quite a pleasant place, with bamboo
panels hanging on the walls and a gay
mating on the floor airy and sun
shiny, too, with breeze from the bay
wandering through the windows, which
opened on to balcony bright with
towering plants and bowls Of Chinese
lilies.
hu Yum was scarcely as high as the
railing around the balcony, and passeEs
IN the street below who might happen
to glance up could easily discern her
small black head through the rails. II
was nearly always there, for Ku Yum
liked well to watch the life In the
street. Besides. Ku Yum was on the
lookout for little sister. There was
nothing in this world that Ku Yum
wanted SO much as a little sister.
Ku Yum had two small brothers tn
play with and an old nurse to look aft
er her. She had an elder brother, too.
but he lived down stairs with her IA
ther and the men who worked in her
fathers cigar factory. He was 1e
years old and went to tpe Chinese gov
eminent school, SO that Ku Yum had
almost as much respect Cor him as she
had for her parent.
One day .Ku Yum said to her nurse.
