Great Preparations at Picking For

Great Preparations at Picking For
 Courts Return.
 PEKING, Jan. 3.-There was a full rehearsal yesterday of the courts en- try into Picking, the military and all the officials kneeling as sham process sion passed by. The approach of the court is demonstrating the power of General Yung Lu. Many reforms that were lately supported by Prince Ching and others have been suppressed by Civil Governor Chen Pi, who is Yung Lu's spy. He is. subverting the educa- tional schemes and has warned pro jected newspapers not to begin publi- cation. s.f
 Progressive Chinese, including the president of the provincial college, who was one of Ii Hung Chang's talented adherents and d Han Lin scholar, are leaving the province. ekw
 Proofs accumulate that Prince Ching's arguments persuaded the dow ager empress to trust herself within range of the legation forts. Officials arriving here describe the dowager empress and General Yung Lu as be- ing extremely nervous and suspicious lest the foreigners are planning to entrap them after their arrival and punish them for encouraging Boxer ism.
 The foreigners will probably view the courts re-entry into Picking from the wall near the legations.
 The Chinese officials have been sounded by the ministers as to wheth- pr they will anf0rca fho old custom of restraining foreigners from witnessing imperial processions. The replies are not encouraging. The treaty gives the legations a strip of wall command ing view. of the gates of the imperial city, and the members of the foreign community are planning to assemble thereon. It will be great tnnoya- sisu. ..-----

Germans Like Our Tobacco.

Tn no other country in the world is the cigar so popular as in Ger many, so much so that it is impos- sible to raise enough tobacco in the empire to supply the domestic de- mnnd. Last year Germany imported nearly $2s,ooo, ,oon worth of tobacco, a little more than third of it com ing from the. United States. The use of the cigarette is rapidly spreading in Germany. Last year ss6 tons of cigarettes were consumed, at least five times as many as were needed ten years aga.

BIC SYNDICATE EILS.
Temporary Embarrassment oi Everett Moore Concern.
COMMITTEE OF BANKERS INVESTIGATE
The Company Controlled Many E1ec- tric Lines Tn Ohio and Michigan With Capitalization of About
 $13O,OOO,OOO.

CLEVELAND, O., Jan 3.-The fnan cial affairs of the Everett Moore syndi cate, owning or controlling a number of urban and interurban electric rail- ways and an extensive system of local and long distance telephone lines in Ohio and Michigan, have passed into the control of a committee composed of seven prominent bankers of this city. This action was taken, it is stat ed, as the result of temporary fnan- cial embarrassment on the part of the syndicate, which has for some time past been affected by the stringency in the money market.
 The committee chosen has been at work Investigating the affairs of the syndicate and express the firm belief that the concern is entirely solvent and that it's embarrassment will be only temporary.
 The Eyerett-Moore syndicate is ac- credited with controlling more than 1,200 miles of urban and interurban electric lines in Ohio and Michigan, with many new extensions still in course of construction.
 All of these lines are declared by the committee to be, with scarcely an ex- ceptiOn, in ..9 I physical condition, perfectly sol, clt and in no wise em- harrassed.
 The aggregate capitalization of all the various properties owned or con trolled by the syndicate is said to be about $13O,00O,0O0
 Expert accountants have been em- ployed by the committee in charge to examine and report upon the condition of all the constituent companies. No statement has as yet been given out indicating the liabilities of the syndi- cate.
 Messrs. Henry A. Everett and E. w. Moore refused to be interviewed con corning their affairs, declaring that the statement issued by the committee covered the entire matter.
 The committee of bankers organized by electing H. R. Newcomb as chair man and B. c. Tillotson secretary
 H. R. Newcomb, chairman of the committee of bankers looking into the affairs of the Everett-Moore syndicate, said that the syndicate had secured heavy loans from large number of eastern banks and from banks in the interior of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan, and so far as they have been able to express themselves the loaning institutions regard the syndicate's se- curities as gilt edgts and actually worth 15 to 20 per cent more than the value of the loans. MT. Newcomb said that legally the committee of bankers is not in charge of the financial affairs of the syndicate; instead that it is simply looking into the case. In order to take full charge of the syndicate's affairs MT. Newcomb said the consent of the many loaning institutions will have to be secured. If this is not obtainable, the further action of the committee is undecided

ssmajor," and he and Mrs. Ferguson, who was a daughter of Gov. Swan, of Maryland, were prominent figures in Washington society. Their house on Highland terrace, Massachusetts avenue, was the center of the very best life in the city. Mrs. Ferguson met cruel death a few months be- fore her husband went to Sweden, the result of street car accident.
 Maj. Ferguson has never been ac- tive in politics, but he is known as strong democrat. He is of kindly nature, of tact and ability, and is accredited with high merit as a dip 1omat.

the DEVIL AND THE SCOTCHMAN.

The contest between the Rev. Mer-
ton Smith and the devil has not yet
progressed far enough to give an un-
prejudiced outsider an opportunity to
speculate on the probable result. The
principals are sparring tor points, and
neither has given, or received, serious
body blows.
The Rev Mr.. Smith is a game fight
er and a haru hitter. He has plastered
the nose of old Belzebub and made him
grin more than once; but Nick has
staying qualities and can stand much
punishment without throwing up the
sponge. So far as we can see his devil
ship Is promptly on hand when time is
called
Nor can we see any wrinkles on the
devils countenance as he parades his
usual haunts in the old pueblo. His
tail wags as jovially as ever. His thirst
Is just as intense and his interest In
the enterprise of Lord Rosslyn at Monte
Carlo, just as keen, as If the red-head-
ed Scotchman had been tickling him
instead of trying to destroy his board
ing house.
The devil, apparently. feels sure OF
his constituency in Tucson. The old
timers are with him, and they are
power in the land Nor has the dtvi.
found 1t necessary as yet to summon
his reserve forces. If MIR. Smith should
get him in close quarters because. OF
the Indifference or opposition of the
new corners. the devil as last resort
could call on the old Tombstoners. the
men who had ''been to Phoebe" and the
.aristocrats who laved their faces in the
Hassayampa. and then would Mr..
Smith seek Scotland or the Texas Pan
handle in despair and confusion.
1t Is plain that Mr.. Smith does not
understand the resources and popul
arity OF the devil in this town. But If
Smith comes out victor under the cir
cumstances his achievement will be
the more wonderful and sensational.

THE CARNEGIE INSTITUTE.

We have not yet been informed of
the ways and means and conditions
surrounding the proposed Carnegie
Institute" for higher learning, which
Secretary of State Hay and few
other gentlemen arranged to incor-
porate at Washington last Saturday.
In general way it is known that Mr
Andrew Carnegie desires to contribute
SO 900, 900 toward the endowment of
a national university. This is a very
worthy project, and ought in time to
become a monument to American
education.
40ut how Is it to be governed? Who
will appoint the professors, who will
dominate the governing body? Is the
Carnegie institution to be a national
university? II not why did not Mr..
Carnegie give his endowment as
Rockefeller did at Chicago? If it is to
be national, how is 1t going to be run?

THE MODERN HOTEL.

The new hotel project looks well and
strong The city council came up to
the full expectation of the progressive
people OF the city and made 1t easy for
the hackers of the project to obtain
satisfactory site. There will be no
hitch as to the location. Tucson has
done what was asked Of it. aud the
matter is now up to the gentlemen
who propose to erect the hr:el,
We believe that the enterprise Is
going through all right. There is every
reason TO hope that by next winter
this town will have one OF the best
hotels in the Southwest. II will be a
big thing for Tucson, and a good
tn.ng for the men who are going &c
put their money in the enterprise. 4
modern hotel in this town will pay
from the day it Is opened. The meE
who are investing their money have
no reason to doubt that their enter
prise will produce good returns.
The big modern hotel will set off
the town and make it an agreeable
abiding place for visitors. The tourist,
when the new hotel is an actuality,
will have Tucson on his and her list.
We will see more people, and
strangers will like us better. In fact. as
we have heretofore averred. we know
of nothing that would be of such i'm
mediate benefit to this city as such a
hotel as is now projected.

The proposition submitted to the
city council by the Electric Light COM
pany last night should remove all
thought of the necessity Of establish
ing a municipal lighting plant The Of
fer of the company is liberal. and the
term of the contract is reasonable. We
do not believe that the guardians OF
the citys interests could do better
than to accept the offer, and give en-
couragement at the same time to the
company to do better than it is doing
now with its private patrons.
