Pekin, Dec. 31.-Prince Ching and
Ii Hung Chang have communicated to
The foreign ENJOYS an imperial edict
IN which the emperor declares that
China accepts the joint note and au-
thorizes Prince Ching and LII Hung
Chang to negotiate and to ask for a
suspension of hostilities. Prince
Ching and Ii Hung Chang say that
emperor Kwang Su has expressed a
desire that the court return to Pekin
1T the end of February.
The Chinese themselves were great
" astonished at receiving the imperial
instructions. Neither Ii Hung Chang
nor Prince Ching had expected success
In persuading the court until ten days
ago.

The places where these are to be To-
Gated.
The plenipotentiaries are instructed

quest the powers not to destroy the
xorts, but merely to disarm them.

Prince Ching then called upon the

spanish minister, Senior de Colona, and
requested him TO notify the other en-
Foys that instructions had been re-
setved from the emperor TO sign the

IT is stated that Secretary of the h. teriOr Hitchcock, who has developed 8 strong interest in irrigation, is prepar- ing report to the president, endors- ing a system of irrigation dams for the arid lands of the West and recommend ing legislation by congress along this line. The western trip made by the presidential party graphically demon strated to the members the great need of irrigation dams, and showed the benefits derived from the work already accomplished. It has been further in- timated at Washington that in his forthcoming message to congress the president will recommend an appropri- ation for the construction of reservoirs in the arid West. Secretary Hitchcock is now preparing lengthy brief on the subject of irrigation legislation, and will, it is stated, recommend a first appropriation for the Gila river dam in Arizona. He is passing his re- port on the surveys and recommends tions of the geological survey of his department.

ARIZONA EXHIBIT.

It would be a good business prOpO- sition for Arizona to have a territorial exhibit at the New Mexico fair in October. The exhibit should be in charge of the commissioners of that territory to the St. Louis exposition. The exhibit could be made the nucleus of the fine display that territory will make at St. Louis in 1903. The Ari- zona commission have been invited to meet with the Oklahoma and New Mexico commissioners in this city dur ing the progress of the territorial fair in October to consult in regard to the erection of joint building at St. Louis for the use of the three territories for exhibition purposes. The Arizona rep resentatives are urged to come and bring along an exhibit of the wonder ful resources of that territory. Albu- querque is one gateway to Arizona and our territorial fair will be the meeting place of thousands of pros- pective investors.-Albuquerque Citi- zen.

IT is said the salary and emoluments of the secretary of the territory during the last four years, says the Tucson Star, averaged more than $l0,OOO per annum. The fees resulting from laws enacted during the last four years has increased the fees of the office so that the income has more than doubled that of previous years. There be those who say that the office during part of Sec retary Akers' administration reached the sum of $l5,O in single year. If this be so, it should not be surprising that so many were hungry for this par ticular plum. It was we'll that change was made, as four such fat years is enough for one mortal being in Ari- zona. Such rich food should be dis tributed among the faithful. Secretary Stoddard will wax fat under this rich income.

THE fact that artesian water has valley a few milas east of HOlbrook, is of more than passing interest to the counties of Navajo and Apache. It is gold mine. The lands in the Little Colorado valley are rich and only need water to make that valley one of the richest and most prosperous within the borders of Arizona and it will be but few years until every available acre within that valley is under cultivation. What is now barren waste will be covered with new homes of new set- tiers.

ONE of the presidential party on the recent western trip made the observa- tion upon his return to Washington that the irrigation sentiment in the west was something of an astonishment to all, and that he noticed that any allusion to the subject caused greater applause and enthusiasm than mention of the nations triumphant arms or our expanding commerce or prosperity, one or all together.

NEGRO BADLY WOUNDED.
Shot Gun Fell From His Shoulder
With Serious Results.

London Burke, a negro resident of
Woodsville, a settlement near Savannah,
was accidentally shot and seriously
wounded yesterday afternoon at the seven
mile post on the Augusta road. The man
was brought to the city for treatment,
and his arm was amputated by DR..
George NJ. Norton. Burkes arm was al
most torn from the socket by the lead,
one eye was shot out and a portion of
his face was shot away. His condition is
regarded as critical.
Burke had a she gun across his Shout
der and was on his way to the city. In
some manner the negro lost his grasp
on the gun, and it fell to the ground He
made an effort TO catch the weapon be-
fore it struck, and was in a STOPPING
posture when it exploded. The entire
charge struck the man in the shoulder
and face and inflicted the wounds de-
scribed Shortly afterwards Burke's
groans were heard, and he was brought
to the city. When found he was in
ditch by the side of the road, and was
bleeding freely He was able to tell
how he had been shot and asked that
he be taken to the house of a friend on
the Westside.

CASTOR STREET PAVING.
Why Does Alderman Watson Disre-
gard Wishes of Residentsf

Editor Morning News: The persist
ence with which Alderman Watson is
seeking to force the property holders on
CASTOR street to become particeps crimi-
mis- with the city in squandering the pub
lie money for a brick pavement on that
street, is almost incomprehensible, in
view of the fact that he has heretofore
been regarded as a safe and conservative
public servant, who was, no doubt chosen
as chairman of his committee for his
technical knowledge of the value and
durability of paving material At the
same time, when 1t is remembered that
the most astute sometimes err in judg-
ment upon great public questions 1t
would seem safest from any and every
standpoint, to be governed by the concen-
sus of opinion and wishes of those most
vitality concerned.
Ninety-five per cent. of the property
holders on CASTOR street have expressed
themselves as satisfied with the present,
most excellent shell pavement. If he
will not heed their protest, with Hunt
ingdon and other streets, knee-deep IN
sand, staring him in the face, they will
be constrained to think him very stub
born, or the victim of a vitrified brick
in his hat" Taxpayer.

He denied that he had cursed Sol, and
before he had concluded his defense
proved to Recorder Myrick that he was
telling the truth. Sallie was present to
testify against her husband and for Sol,
but the evidence did not benefit the pros
ecutor. In truth it proved what Tom had
asserted. 1t showed too plainly that Sal
lie and Sol were hopelessly in love and
constantly plotting to get Tom out of the
way.
Several witnesses were heard and Tom
was acquitted of the charge of disorderly
conduct. Solomon did not appear to rel
