Road Law Construea.

In response to an inquiry. Attorney General Davis gives the following con struction of the new road law: Ut can easily be understood why there are so many requests for construction of this act, as it seems the legisla- ture has complicated it as much as possible. Under section 2 of the act of 1899 it is left discretionary with the county court and magistrates as to how they shall divide the county as regards the road districts, and as neither this act nor the act of 1897 exempts incorporated towns from their provisions it would be in the discretion of the court to put an in corporated town either in a district by itself or in a district with contig- uous territory. If put in a district by itself. it would be the recipient Of the 3-mill levy, and also the citizens within the incorporated limits would be restricted in their labor to the roads and streets within the limits but should it be put into a district with contiguous territory, then the district would reap the benefits of the levy and the boundary lines of the corporate limits, so far as the act of 1899 is concerned. would be abol- ished."

A STROKE OF DIPLOMACY.
How the Chinese Submission Is Re-
 garded at Washington.

Washington, Jan. 1.-ln diplomatic quarters the acceptance given by the Chinese envoys is regarded as a mos ingenious stroke of diplomacy. Among diplomatic officials it is said that this is not an unconditional acceptance, although it is such a concurrence of the general principle of the note that the powers can not well set it aside. 1t appears to be directed toward reopen ing the word ''irrevocable," and se- curing more definite, and, if possible, more moderate conditions on some of the points involved. It is not clear whether the envoys will sign the note first, and then ask for negotiations, or cndeavor to ameliorate the terms iefore the final signatures are af- fixed. In any event, it is felt that the 4raver features of the trouble are overcome by the submissive attitude Of the emperor, end but little remains now but to perfect the details of the peace treaty on tLe general lIne> here tofore laid down
