No, a Probable causus eeIIi.

Tien Tsin, March 1O.-The mission
property here which is in dispute be-
tween the French and American con-
suls Is less than two acres In area 1t
borders the American mission property
and was previously occupied by unde-
sirable Cinnamon. The French consul
stopped building operations on the dis
puted property and placed n policeman
there. The French flag has not been
raised over the property. The Amcri-
can consul is maintaining firm atti-
tude and does not believe serious devel-
opments to be likely. The English
Methodist mission of London, the
American board OF commissioners for
foreign missions and the American
Methodist mission all aave property
within the extra concession claimed by
the French In June, 1900. Since that
time the American missions have pur-
chased the adjoining piece of property.
The French now claim this latter prop
erty. American Figs have been hoist
ed over the property in question.

WARNED NOT TO CONE WEST.
Western Labor Union ospreeatss the
Opportunities Of This Section.

The Western Labor Union has been
sending from Its headquarters In Butte
to the East circular addressed to
"homeseckers and working people," In
which the recipients are warned not to
respond TO the Invitations to come West
and help develop the country. Follow
Ing Is specimen OF the contents Of the
circular:
I'VE have no desire to give a setback
to the development of our country's re-
sources. These resources are limitlcss
TO men OF capital But to the farmer
without means and the laboring man
there is not the slightest inducement to
come West.
In Butte. in the Cripple Greek dis
trlct. In the Occur d'Alenes. In British
Columbia, on the Pacific coast, and In
the agricultural communities every
where In the West. there are hundreds
and thousands OF idle men. If the
West afforded such exceptional oppor-
tunitles to homeseekers, settlers and
workingmen, these able-bodied and in
dustrious people would not be found in
hundreds and thousands begging for a
chance to earn mere living"

New YORK Drinks as Usual.

New York. March 9.-Despite the al
legged promises of the saloonkeepers
that to-day would be the very driest
Sunday on record. so far as New York
was concerned, the man or woman who
wished had little or no trouble In pur-
chasing a drink. About the only notice
able difference in getting one was that
the thirsty man was not allowed to
stand at the bar, and in many in-
stances he was forced to sit down to
the property sandwich" left over from
the earlier days OF the Raines law
reign. In the upper West Side portion
of the city the orders for dry Sunday
were observed to certain extent. On
the lower East Side of the city 1t is
doubtful IL one saloon out of 800 was
closed. In most instances n man could
walk into the side door without any
trouble.
