Another house of absorbing interest is that of the patriot leader, Gaffori, rid died with cannon-ball and peppered with bullet holes from roof to founda- tion. The Genoise once availed thew- his house and get his wife into their power, according to their frequent poli- cy of using the families of rebelsN as hostages. Gut this true daughter Of Corsica barricaded the doors and win dows of her house and defended herself for days, gun in hand with the help of a few friends who had rushed to her aid. The house was overwhelmed with perfect rain of bullets, and as the need grew pressing, her friends advised her to capitulate. Instead, Madame Gaffori brought keg of powder into a lower room, and seizing a match, swore to blow up the whole business if they ceased firing upon the foe. In- spired by her courage, they kept up feeble defence until the husband came to the rescue with band of Corsicans. Looking up to the black citadel, you may see a loop-hole in the wall out or which, at another time, the Genoese hung the only son of Gaffori, boy Of fourteen, in order to make his father desist from the assault. The sight had a contrary effect, and so frenzied the Corsicans that the boy was rescued just ih time to save him. After his father had been murdered, Madame Gaffori made the young man 4ake a solemn oath to devote his life to Kill ing Genoese.

The draw ing room play has gone out. of the first sort is Miss Viola Aliens new play sIn the Palace of the King" which comes to the Hyperion theater on Tues day and Wednesday evenings, May 21, 22. Miss Aliens luck in setting hold of two such plays as "The Christian" and ''In the Palace of the King" one after the other, seems like a theatrical mir acle, great good fortune or great good judgment or something of the sort.

JAPAN NOT TO FIGHT RUSSIA
SATISFIED WITH MANCH OHIAN
 DECLARATION.
Secretary Hay Officially Informed or 'he
 situation by Minister T"Hahif"- rr,,ted stotes and Japanese Views In
 Harmony Russian Altitude

Iynrm0nv-Russian Altitude Ff"is"'
 Washington, April 1o.-The Japanese minister. MT Takahira, to-day receAVeo official advices from the foreign oiiice at Tol,io entirely dispelling the alarm ing reports as to Russo-1apaiiese runt,,re and showing that the Japanese government accepted the latest oecla- ra t;on of Russia on Manchurla Wllh the same sense of satisfaction Wlth which it had been received III the TTnited States MT. Takahira called at the state department and informed Secretary Hay of the gratifying turn or events.
 The nosition of Japan as now defined in the highest official quarter is prac- tically the same as that of the Onlteu States. A copy of the recent Russian communication was delivered to Japan at the same time that it was given to this government, and although the texts differ slightly, they are alike on all material points. The Japanese gov ernment now makes known that it ac- cepts this declaration as made in entire good faith. and like the United States it is quite satisfied to leave the Manchu- rian question in it's present status.
 The assurances given by Russia are of such a character that the Japanese authorities confidently look forward to a course of action which will remove the perplexity and dangers in which the is- sue has been incolved thus far. As the other powers have already indicated Df PnScian 6nP1a- ration, the course of Japan removes the last possibility of division, and appears to restore the harmonious concert which has thus far proceeded in deal ing with China.
 Yokohama, April 10.-The Nishin- shingi- -Eshl, leading newspaper which reflects the governments views, ap- plauds Russia's judgment and love of peace, and says the great desideratum now is the restoration to the Chinese government of effective authority, add ing:
 Russia cannot justly be condemned for the adoption of measures to protect rights acquired in Manchuria Under the present conditions the duty of pre- serving order in Manchuria would de- volve upon those responsible for Rus sia's withdrawal. It would not conduce to Japan's interests to accept such a responsibility"
 St. Petersburg, April 10.-The Russian press is abandoning that reserve with which 1t first discussed the govern ment's declaration on the subject of Manchuria. I. now declares that the inv with which the British press greeted China's refusal to sign the Manchurian agreement has merely postponed the signing of new under standing with China, since the conven- tion would be advantageous to China. One paper says:
 "Our London friends overlooked the fact that in dissuading the signing of the agreement they did not hasten the evacuation of Manchuria, but strength ened Russia's position"

Sugar Beets and the Establishment
OF Beet Sugar Factory in Durango
is the all-absorbing theme of discus
sion among our business men just
now. The initial efforts of Mr.. F. l..
Chase in the direction of awakening
interest in the new project are al
ready bearing fruit, and the meeting
az the court house tomorrow evening
promises to be well attended by D,.-
rango's enterprising citizens and will
undoubtedly result in active. practi-
cal steps being taken to set the sugar
factory project upon its feet and thus
push good thing along.
Much interest Is being manifested
among our people in the matter and
all agree that it is one of paramount
ing country. Everyone also seems
confident that the desired result can
be attained by exercising long pull
| and strong pull altogether, and that
Is Just what must be done to insure
success.
Grand Junction was several years
agitating the beet sugar question,
and it was long time before the end
for which the people down there
sought was attained. But they were
pioneers in the beet sugar industry
and had many obstacles to overcome
with which we shall not meet. 1t has
been practically demonstrated that
the soil and climate of Colorado is
peculiarly adapted to the propagation
of the saccharine tuber, and it has
also been proven that wherever the
farmers can be induced to engage Ii,
the cultivation of sugh beets on q
scale commensurate with the require
ments OF sugar plant, ample capt
tai stands ready to erect, equip and
operate the factory. The first thing
to do is to interest the farmers. Get
them to put in an experimental crop
of sugar beets and demonstrate their
ability to produce something from
their land that will pay them much
handsomer returns than any crop they

SPRING RACES.
May %, 23, "a and 25 the Dates for
Durango's Next Great Event.

The directors of the Colorado-New
Mexico fair met last evening at the
Office of Secretary McElroy to tran
sact business connected with the fair,
as well as to make arrangements for
the spring races.
Before discussing that all-import-
ant question the reports of the secre-
tary and treasurer were presented.
These were found correct and order
ed filed. They are published in full
IN another column.
President Mcconnell then made
some pointed and pithy remarks in
regard to holding the spring race
meeting.
1t was then unanimously decided
by the board to hold the races on
May %, %, "a and 25. After some
discussion the sum of $4,000 was de-
oided upon to be used in purses.
The chair then appointed the fol
lowing committees: To ascertain
cost of correcting track, fencing same,
and changing the grand stand, Messrs.
Camp, Freeman and Goodman.
Committee on advertising. Messrs.
Eldredge, McElroy and Stein.
Committee on program, Messrs.
Waters. Parsons and Biggs.
Should any of the committees need
additional members the chairman may
select two others in addition.
