Must Employ the Relatives.

Every Chinese manager of any in
stitution employing labor must pro-
vide employment for his father,
uncle, grandfather, innumerable cou-
sins and entire clan relationship.
These people do not work, are not ex-
pected to work. but are pensioners;
and their great number makes bur-
den SO heavy that the enterprises be-
come Improbable. This has been the
cause OF many institutions of a for
eign character under exclusive Chi
nese management, being failures. and
is largely accountable for the extra
cost OF products of all factories. arsen-

liberty and democracy Of management
of all industrial affairs on the part of
the Chinese, with no organized systs-

To Archie Stevenson politics is a
business. 1t is matter OF secur-
ing for himself and his political

like one party better than another,

better opportunity for him to stand

1t is possibly the best way to en>

OF political action, upon which the

have existed and upon which the

LONDON, Apr. 22.-The Duke and
Duchess OF Marlborough have not been
living together since Christmas This
fact for some time has provoked q crop

believe the separation is otherwise than
deliberate.
Rumors of the estrangement began be-

he came back it has widened. According
to friends there are faults on both sides.
These developments are considered not
unnatural, seeing the extremely early
age at which the Duchess married.
The Duke is not popular anywhere. A
sense of his own importance is overpow-

The Yaqui War
Is Still Going on.

BENSON, Arizona, April 22.-~Jerry
Wines, the veteran mining man, returned
last night from an extended trip through
Sonora, where he ia interested in some
gold property.
THE Yaqui Indians are still giving
some trouble" said Mr.. Wines this
morning. "The buggy we went out to
the mountains in had been riddled
with bullets only few days before we
went out and evidences of their work
could be seen everywhere We went.
1.-TWO weeks ago squad of Mexicans
were attacked by small band of Yaquis
and seven OF the number were killed and
several wounded. The Yaquis have very
little force but they have enough to keep
the Mexicans on the move. Almost every
day the troops are fired on from ambush
and stealing is a daily thing. Americans
seem to be perfectly safe for it has been
many months since an American has
been molested by the savages. They are
after the Mexican soldiers and it seems
that they do not intend togive up until
they have killed them all.
"The soldiers number now about six
thousand but they cannot find the In
dians. They are kept moving to steer
from the stray bullets and have no op-
portunity to defend themselves. There
is no question but that the soldiers
could wipe out the Indians in week if
they could find them but the Indians
are too smooth for them. The first the
soldiers know OF the Indians where
abouts is told by whistling bullet and
then the soldier does well if he stays
out of the way.
"The public generally is not alarmed
in the least but is greatly annoyed by
the presence OF troops. The Indians do
not harm except robbing and that is
very little. From what could learn the
trouble may last for years yet as the
soldiers cannot get in position to assume
the aggressive"
Mr. Wines spent week in that section
but was not molested by the Indiar 8.
He thinks it is perfectly safe for Anne
rieans to go there but he advises them
TO take very little money with them.

Great Gold Discovery Reported
In the Navajo Reservation.

and working it was attacked by the In
dians, who have until now persistently
refused to allow mining in their terri
tory. One Peterson, the only member
OF the party who succeeded in escaping,
told Of the tremendous wealth OF the
mine, but could never relocate it.
Pegleg Smith, the famous owner of
the Pegleg mine, was thought to have
gotten gold from the Bald Rock mine.
Smith was known all over the west in
the early days. He had prospected
every range in the Sierra Nevada, and
often struck it rich. Fo- long time he
lived in southern Utah. and from some
source obtained big bag Of gold dust.
His hospitality was known for hundreds
of miles around, but never to his best
friends would he give up the secret of
his gold. For nearly year he was in
the Navajo Reservation, and it was the
general belief that all his wealth came
from there. Smith always was able to
elude the watchful Indians, although
they succeeded in keeping out nearly all
prospectors.
''Pegleg" was not so fortun te in
earlier life. His name was given him
by reason of the result of a fight with
Indians. He was shot in the leg when
a mere boy by raiding apaches, and was
left to lie. But he had no notion of 80
doing. His wound was serious one,
and would have resulted in death had
he not been possessed of great nerve.
He was alone, and there was no doctor
within hundreds of miles, and the leg
began to mortify. Young Smith, sitting
under the shade of a tree, with his
pocket knife deliberately cut his leg off
as man would stick. The heroic
operation saved his life, and the substi-
tuition of a common peg gave him the
appellation of ''Pegleg."

over the estate OF Dennis Cullen, the
hermit rancher who died in the hills
back of MiIpitas in December, 1899, has
been decided in favor of the Irish
heirs, two sisters. Cullen, who lived the
lonely life OF cattle man, died in sgua-

worth about sec, goo. For years he had
held himself aloof from his family, and
they knew but little about him. He had
three sisters-Mrs. Rosa Sparks OF San

Mrs. Maria Gaffrey of Ireland. Mrs.
Sparks WIS with him at the last and TO
her he left all his property. This was
done by deed. As soon as the sisters in
Tleland heard OF the wealth they began
contest. The charge OF undue influence
on the part of Mrs.sparks was made.
At the trial it developed that Cullen
had been found in an unconcious con-
dition in his cabin and had remained in
such condition until his deaf h. The
will had been signed by one OF the wit

immediate premises surrounding his
home. Under the house holes showed
