DIPLOMATS ARE BEWILDERED
CONTRADICTINu REPORTS OF RE.
OPENING OF WAR WITH
CHINESE TROOPS.
CHINESE MAY HAVE GIVEN IN.
Rumors that the Emperor has Order
ed His Troops to Leave the
Disputed Territory.

New York, April ia dispatch to the
Herald from Pekin says:
General Oesset, commanding the Ger
man troops in China, has started for
Paotingfu with 1000 additional men. He
was accompanied by the French COM
mander, General Balloud. The Franco-
German forces available for the eXpedi-
tion number 5000 men.
The greatest secrecy is maintained as
to the effect of these military prepara-
tions, but it is believed that it is pro-
posed to take possession of another Of
the Ansoling passes into Shansi, where
Chinese troops are reported. Members
of the diplomatic corps without eXcep-
ton are mystitied and manifest consid-
cradle apprehension at this revival Of
military activity. Lii Hung Chang sent
a courier to General Lu commanding the
troops in Sian passes and calling upon
him to avoid a meeting, If necessary,
by retiring from his position, which is in
contestably Chinese, but the viceroy is
not confident that the general will obey
orders unless sanction comes fro11 SIAM
flu, which he is endeavorng to secure.
There is apparently no military or po-
litical reason for this advance.

Vancouver. B. c., April 19.-Colonel L.

The treasury department to the prospec-

Australian liners must undergo inspec-

they take on passengers at Hawaiian
ports other than those brought there on
the ships and temporarily landed enroute

J. Ernest Walker Become a Cattle
 King Yesterday.

If a man has all the land and water he needs for the purpose In this part of the world. there is no good reason why he should not go into the eatt,., business. especially as that has proved one of the most remunerative indus tries in Arizona.
 Reasoning from that standpoint MT. J. Ernest Walker decided that he WAS guilty and the only way he could square himself with Arizona was lo take advantage of his opportunities al the earliest possible moment. So yes terday he closed deal with F.. F Kellner. whereby the latter's bank account Is sweled STOOD and Mir. Walk CT gets 424 head Of good stock cattle to begin operations with.
 The cattle are the entire herd of the Richland stock farm. west of the city. owned by Mir. Kellner. and will be placed on Mir Walkers ranch under the Buckeye canal for the present and later moved to large tract lower down. where he expects to branch out into the business on d consider a b Y larger scale. Having secured about everything man could ask for in the agricultural line as an investment, l. is now up to him to build a railI oad through the Buckeye country.
