business enterprise of novel
and unique nature has been built up
in the neighbOrhOod of Phoenix, Ariz.
and though not large enough to at
tract II great deal of attention, 1t is
being carried on successfully from a
financial point of view, says the New
York Herald
Nearly everybody who has lived in
Phoenix long is acquainted with Dr.
X. E. kunze, better known locally as
THE Bug Catcher" DR.. Kunze takes
to scientific things as duck takes to
water. and came here few years
ago from New York. Noting the many
bugs. butterflies and insects that are
rarely found in other parts. he began
to systema /cally and industriOusly
collect them and send them to eastern
collectors. schools, etc, and 1t is I'M
derstOod that his work was pleasingly
remunerative, for he knew first how
to catch and preserve his specimens
and next how to classify them.
Finally he bought little piece Of
ground down near the river, mile
south Of Washington street. on eth
avenue. intending to plant an orch
ard. He tried faithfully for year
or two. but with poor success. He
found the soil in that locality was
worthless for fruit trees and the few
that did grow were sickly lot.
1t then occurred to him that. II he
could not raise anything he could grow
cacti, SO he went into that business.
Now he has cact nursery and is
making money QUITO Of It. He sup
plies local people when they want cac-
ii for decorative purposes. but his
main business is In the large eastern
cities. and in Europe. He has been
sending plants to Germany for the
last four years. and last spring he
made a shipment of about 5000
pounds.
DR.. Kunze knows as much about
cacti as he does about bugs. and when
he meets a new variety he prizes it
as a prospector does a promising gold
ledge. He now has plants from all
over the southwest, Arizona particu-
larry. One variety he goes clear to
the Mexican line for and can find it
nowhere else.

ton here is still optimistic with regard
to the situation in te far East, and says
that for the moment it sees no cause for
war between Japan and Russia. The
negotiations between the two countries
are proceeding with mutual desire
for All agreement. Everything tends TO-
ward the belief that such an agreement
will soon be an accomplished fact.
Confirmation has been received from
official sources of the reports that For
eign Secretary Lansdowne and Foreign
minister Delcasse have within the last
few days made strong representations
at Tokyo with view to averting cri-
sis between Russia and Japan. There
is reason to believe that these represen-
tations, coming at the critical moment
when Japan's reply was being handed
to the Russian minister, Baron de Ro-
sen, exercised powerful restraining
influence. This is especially true of
Lord Lansdowne, owing to Great Brit
ain being the ally of Japan. The terms
of the Japanese answer are not yet
known here, but owing to the action
taken by Great Britain and France,
the officials here are confident that her
answer permits of a continuance OF dip
lomatic negotiations towards securing
common ground for an agreement.
The officials of the Japanese legation
insist that they do not believe there is
any immediate danger of war between
Russia and Japan, and express the
opinion that the dispute will he settled
amicably. They add, however, that
Japan will not abandon any of her
rights in Manchuria and say that if a
conflict occurs they believe the Japan
ese will obtain the first victory on the
sea.
Press dispatches affirm that the lap
anese ministers abroad have been in
structrd to deny the sensational reports
regarding the relations between Japan
and Russia, and to say that while ia
pan replied to Russia yesterday, her
response was not in the nature of an
ultimatum; that it demands simply
changes in some of the determined
points, and, finally, that Russia is
ready to continue the exchange of dip
lomatic views. 1t is added that the
Japanese now give every evidence of a
pacific tendency. This information ac-
cords with the view prevailing in d.
plomatic circles here.
The Temps publishes the following
on authority:
"The fears of Russo Japanese con.
hict at present are without foundation.
1t is even said that an agreement is
about to be reached on the main
points at issue, and it is only ques.
ton of form, or, more correctly, of
pride, which is causing the two powers
to hesitate. But is desired and hoped
that compr, mise satisfactory to both
parties will be arranged.
London, Dec. GA dispatch to
