CHINESE DIPLOMACY
A More Explicit Acceptance OF the
Joint Note Demanded.

Pek;n, January 2.-The foreign en-
voys, with the exception of the Brit
ish minister, Sir Ernest Satow, met to-
day to consider the time and place for
the acceptance and signing Of the joint
note. Nothing definite was decided. 1t
seems to be the opinion of some of the
ENJOYS that the acceptance of the terms
of the note by the Chinese is not ex-
plicit enough.
The Chinese desire for consultations
regarding the razing of the forts and
the legation guards is open to misin-
depreciation and liable to lead to long
and continuous arguments, which
might, in the opinion of some of = the
ministers. simply mean sparring for
time on the part Of the Chinese. Con-
~seQuently the Chinese plenipotentia-
ries will be notified that they must
sign the note before the meeting be-
tween them and the foreign ENJOYS
can be held.
Sir Ernest Satow, who has been SUI
fering from chills and fever. is better.
The military engineers Of the allies
have agreed upon a plan for the future
defences OF the legations.

On the morning of June 9th Nc Carty, armed only with l0-gauge double-barreled shotgun, started from his camp at Lost Spring in search of a peculiar variety of pigeon, which he boped to find in that vicinity. He did not return that night, but this Occa- stoned little uneasiness, as he was an experienced hunter and thoroughly ac- quainted with the country. When he did not return the next day search was instituted, which has been kept up ever since.
 As Illustrating John McCarty's fear. lessness among wild animals it is related that on one occasion when he and Day were together hunting they came across two mountain lions. While Day kept the animals covered with his rife, McCarty crept up within ten feet and photographed them.
 Too much praise cannot be given to Joseph K. Day for the dogged and de- termined persistency with which he kept up the search for his missing friend, after everyone else had given up hope of finding him.

TERRITORIAL TAXES.
Heaviest Tax for Territorial Purposes
 Ever Known.

A Phoenix correspondent says: The territorial board of equalization has adjourned, after levying the heaviest tax for. territorial purposes ever known to the commonwealth. The territorial tax rate this year, to be added to the county levies, will be SLY on the SlOO of valuation. Last year it was S5 cents. The raise has been made neces- sary by the many appropriations made by the last legislature, which made for itself the reputation of the most expen- sive that the territory had ever known.
 The returns from the county boards of equalization foot up the largest taxed valuation ever known in the territory, 33,07l, 900. Last years assessment was only about $33,OOO,OOO. Maricopa county still leads with S9, 100000 Next comes Cochise county, which has leaped from $2,5OO.O 600 to s7, 800, 900, by raising the assessment of the Copper Queen and other rich mines about fifty fold. Yava- pal county is third with about $4, ,OOO,- 900 dollars valuation, or about the same as last year. Its threatened raise of the assessment on Senator Clark's ceIe- brated mine at Jerome from $500 900 to 1000, 600 failed to materialize.
 The railroads were raised several hundred thousand dollars, the main sufferer being the Southern Pacific. A notable fact is that the assessment of cattle is about 20. per cent less than last year, chargeable to the heavy ship ments that have been made from the ranges.
