Won wALDERsEE's POSITION.
Interviewed at Tien Tsin to Prevent
Exhibition of Discord.


Berlin, March 19.-As bearing upon the
nature of Count Won WaIdersee's relations
to the mutually hostile attitude of the
Russian and British troops at Tien Tsin,
the semi-official Berliner Post publishes
the following inspired communique:
"The expression intervene might cause
a misunderstanding; but as possibility
of serious collision existed, which would
have inspired the Chinese with an unde-
sirable idea as to the unity of the Pow
ers, Count Won Waldersee mediated. He
insisted in the first place that the ltigious
parties should withdraw their troops from
the contested grounds.
Count Won Waldersees action, howev-
er, was merely dictated by military rea-
sons and undertaken in a military sense
to prevent an exhibition of discord. and It.
has nothing whatever to do with the set
tlement of the disputed questions, which
lies outside of Count Won Waldersee's s
sphere of competence"

LONDON SAYS 1T is SETTLED.
Chinese Granted Same Concession to
Both Nations.

Both Nations.
London, March 19.-Some of the after
noon papers say the TienTsn difficulty
has been arranged.
The misunderstanding was due to the
Chinese granting the same concessions to
two nations.
The arrangement enables Great Britain
to proceed with the construction of the
railroad siding, but if Russia's concession
proves to be earlier than that of Great
Britain the latter is to acknowledge the
claims of Russia.
The foreign office, however has no in
formation tending to confirm the an
nouncements of an arrangement having
been made, and the officials are rather
inclined to doubt that such an arrange
ment has been arrived at. They say the
original concession was given up by Rus
Sia.

The Russians have orders to fire on any

Gen. Wogack says the trouble was
caused by the unwarrantable interference
of the British in the affairs of the Rus

ceives orders from his own superiors.

THE CENSUS

A number of localities in the Terri tory have expressed dissatisfaction with the census returns: but, undoubt- edly. the greatest injustice was done tn the city of Phoenix, the capital, in fix ing it's population at 5,544 only As ex- plained in my report of last year. the discrepancy between the census figures and the actual population was un- doubtedly due to q great extent to the fact that the enumeration was made in the summer. when a large pro- portion of the population was at the seashore and other summer resorts. and some of the shortage was. doubt less. on account of careless work of the enumeratorS. For the city election in May, 1901, the registration in Phoenix was 2,137, which would indicate a popu- lation this year of at least 10 900.
 In giving a list of the cities and towns of the Territory. the census tables omit the thriving town of Bisbee, in Cochise county. as the place is not incorporated The population of Bisbee is proba bly, not less than 5000.
 For number of years the annual school census has shown a yearly in crease of about 10 per cent in the num- Der of school children.
 From the data furnished by the school census and from other sources of reliable information. am convinced that the population of the territory is now at least 135.O

A LEGISLATIVE NEED.
Recommendation by Commissioner
 General Powderly.

Washington. Nov. 11.-Commissioner General Powderly. of the immigra tion bureau. in his annual report reiterateS the views expressed m his last an nual report. as to the necessity Of amending the laws in relation to the punishment of persons who induce aliens to come to the United States to engage in labor or service of any kind.
 In discussing the general subject of immigration. the commissioner gen cral says, in part: ''To deal with the problem successfully it seems indis- pensible to remove as far as possible those conditions which conflict with the incorporation of the alien element { into the social system of the country. so that by actual experience the form CT may learn as soon as possible that the basis and foundation of the Amer ican policy is respect and affection for and willing obedience to the laws and customs of the land: because the maintenance of these laws is the best safeguard of individual liberty. It is, therefore. recommended that con- gress enact suitable legislation either with, if necessary. or without the CO., op- eration of the states. for the purpose of distributing the alien popula tion with some reference to the industrial law of supply and demand.

AN ABLE DOCUMENT
It is Largely Devoted to the Subjects of Statehood and Irrigation-The Various Reasons Why the Terri tory Should be Admitted to the Union and Why the New State Should Become the Home of Many Thousands.

Washington. D. C.. Nov. l2.-lSpecial Correspondence)-Ad copies or the annual report of the governor of Arizona to the secretary of the interior have been furnished to the presscor- respondents The complete report, with illustrations and maps. will be issuei from the government printing office within q few days. It is pronounced an unusually interesting document, and as in the case of the report for 1899. the department vii probably recommend 70 congress that special edition be print ed. The report is exceptionally replete with statistics. while the text is an eN- position of the resources. development and wealth Of Arizona comprising elo- quent arguments for the admission of the territory into the union.
 Taking up first the subject of popu- lation, Governor Murphy says:
 According to the national census of 1900 the population of Arizona was 122. PIP. Recently the statistics have been furnished in detail.
 There was d total white population Of 92.903. Of this number, 55. 230 were males and 37.673 females.
 The total number of Indians was -o,-o' d utCTtdSt Ol l,So5 rom the num- Der found in the census of 1890
 There were 1,S4S negroes, of whom 1863 were males and 4S5 females.
 There were 1.4l9 Chinese. of which number there were only g. females.
 The Japanese numbered 264. includ- ing F females.
 pt the whits population. 70. .1os 4seIs native born and 22. 395 foreign born. In the returns so far received the foreign born citizens are not segregated as to nativity, and it is impossible, therefore. to give with exactness the preponder- ating nationalitieS. It is quite certain, however. that the assumption generally held in the east that our foreign born population is mostly Mexican is an CT Tor. All the important mining districts contain a large number of Irish and Cornish miners. with a respectable rep resentation from Sweden. Germany. and Italy. I doubt whether our Mexi- can citizens comprise one-half of our So-called foreign popula ton.
Arizona republican., 1901-11-18
STATEHOOD

Upon the question of statehood the governor says:
 Never before were the people of the territory so generally and earnestly aroused on the question of statehood. For more than ten years there has bee I unity of sentiment on the subeict, and during each congress the effort to obtain recognition of our rights has been renewed.
 The fifteenth legislature authorized constitutional convention, which was held and at which there was a full attendance of delegates. A constitu- tion was framed and later was adopt ed at a popular election. The proceed ings cost the territory some $3O, GOO. Bills for the admission of Arizona pass ed the house of representatives in the Fifty second and Fifty third congresses and were favorably reported to the sen ate. and both the senate and house of representatives of the Fifty fourth con- gress reported admission bills favor ably. The press and the people hava persisted in presenting reasons for ad- mission, and thus the agitation has gone on with that perseverance and faith in ultimate success which marks the citizens of Arizona as peculiarly American.
 It is recognized that the prospects for sucesss are better now, and it is felt that the earnest work of years

WHALE FISHING EXPERIENCES
The John and Winthrop Only Got Min,
 Sperm Whales.

San Francisco. Nov. 17.-One of the poorest whaling catches reported this season was made by the bark John and Winthrop. Captain Macomber. which made report today from the Japanese coast. thirty-four days from the sperm whaling grounds. The vessel left this port on December r.. and nine whales producing 325 barrels of oil. represent the total catch. The John and Win throp did not go to the Okhotsk sea region of right and bowhead whales and therefore had no opportunity to ob- tain whalebone. At Hakodate several sailors deserted. Off the Japan coast the phenomenon of four waterspouts at the same time in different directions was seen by the men, but fortunately the vessel escaped contact with any of them. While off the Japan coast also the John and Winthrop was for four hours in the worst gale experienced by the vessel, and the fact that a whale was on deck and fat was flying around made the situation decidedly interest ing. The gale carried away two boats the main toDsail and the mainsail.

should tell. IL is evident that the peo- pie of the east have learned more about the territory during the past two years than in all our previous history, an1 that they have become sufficiently in- formed concerning our citizenship. re- sources, and capabilities to assent to our entrance into the union. It is con tended that If at any time there were reasons of partisanship or expediency for our exclusion. those reasons no longer exist. And always it has been urged very properly that under no cir cumstances should partisan considera- tions prevent justice. and it is not be- lieved that broad-minded statesmen will permit them longer to have weight. Our people consider that they are justified in demanding admission on every ground of right.

There were about two feet of water in the bottom of the well and there he stood for over sixty hours His cries for help brought no assis- tance and he was unable to climb up the slimy rocks. Stepanick's hands were badly lacerated and his mind was on the verge of totterins. His good physical condition alone caused him to hold out as long as he did.
 The well was on the old Reynolds farm. Years ago n house stood near it. but it was torn down. old boards were placed over the well and then il was surrounded by brush. It's ex- istence had been forgotten by those living in the neighborhood until Step anick fell into it.
