AS a result of this last action on the
part of Russia there is a tendency 10
question the gravity OF the situation,
although an air Of mystery is now added
to it, and what kind of diplomatic game
Russia is playing is something which
no one at this time can fathom.

SITUATION GROWS
WORSE IN MANCHURIA

LONDON, May almost hourly the
situation in Manchuria grows more seri-
Gus. For some time travel in that sec
ton has been dangerous.
The Chinese. who realize that their
country is not likely 10 offer any oppo-
sition TO the Russians because of the
fact that they are not prepared for war,
are in anything but pleasant frame OF
mind, as they are compelled to submit
20 Russian occupation of the lands
which they consider sacred. AS re-
suit, they vent their spleen upon the
unwary and unprotected traveller.
Looks to America.
In this condition of affairs China looks
to the United States, rather than to
any other country, for protection and
help in her present straits. She reels
that when the outbreak of the Boxers
occurred two years ago the United
States alone saved her from dismember-
ment. and she still hopes that Presi-
deut Roosevelt Will take a stand that
VIII act as a bar to Russia in the at
tempt OF The Car TO add territory to
his. already vast domains.
China also hopes for assistance from
her old enemy, Japan. in direct way
not because Japan is now friendly 10
her. but because it is as much 10 the
interest of Japan as it is to that of
China that Russia should not extend
her trade IN the Far East. Japan being
backed by England. an alliance into
which England was drawn before she
was aware Of the gravity of it, it may
be that active hostiIities may be avert
ed, but the situation is extremely dan
gerous at present.
Her Friendship Valued.
The feeling in Europe, as well as in
the Far East, is that Russias attitude
with regard TO Manchuria will depend
entirely upon the stand taken by the
United States II President Roosevelt
should present a note TO St. Petersburg
in accordance with the demands already
made by Japan and England it is be-
IieYed that Russia will recede from heI
present attitude But If a neutral
ground should be taken by the Govern
ment at Washington war viii inevitably
result. To put the whole matter in &
word, Russia values TOO highly the
friendship and fears too greatly the po-
tentiaHties of the United States to fly
in the face of American determination

ALBANLAWS REGARD
SULTAN AS TRAITOR

of the Sultan in thus yielding TO the
demands of the very people whom they
have been taught to hate.
Think Sultan a Traitor.
According to the Koran, God reveals
Himself through only one prophet and
his successors. the Caliphs, who are the
Sultans It is through the Caliph only
that they can receive new revelations
from heaven. and they believe that in
making concessions the Sultan is alb
dicating his position as commander OF
the faithful
Any movement of the Sultan against
the Albanians would endanger his per
sonal safety, but openly to side with
them and to appear to countenance their
atrocities would speedily bring the en-
tire armed force of Europe against
him.
The AIbanians are in the main Mo-
hammedans, although there are among
them a few Roman Catholics and a few
Greek Catholics They are, however, the
most truly primitive people in Europe.
Their customs are those OF the Homeric
Greeks. and their virtues and vices these
of all mountain peoples. Their system
Of Jurisprudence is based on the heredi-
tary feud of blood, and the assassin is
regarded as a necessity and a benefactor.
The Alternative
As such a condition of affairs exists,
there remains but one course foG the
powers 10 pursue if any reform is to be
effected. They must present solid
military front to the porte and force
the Sick Man OF the East" to surrender
all that country which has large popu-
Iation. How much better OFF Macedonia
might be if she was not under Turkish
rule is aptly illustrated by the case of
Bosnia, which was lost 10 the Turks
thirty years ago. At that time it was
Impossible TO travel with any degree of
safety in Bosnia and really very diff
cult TO travel at all.
After thirty years under Austrian rule
there are railroads everywhere and crime
| is q rarity. That such reform in a
country and people could be effected in
so short a time is nothing less than
| marvellous.

LONDON. May 9.-Few people have
proper conception OF the difficulty con-
fronting the Sultan of Turkey in his
efforts TO introduce the reforms demand
ed by the powers.
No other ruler exercises sovereignty
over so many people of widely different
characteristics. and whose racial preju-
dices are so strongly marked. Not the
least Of his troubles are due TO the AL
banians, from whom he recruits his per
sonal bodyguard, and upon them ne de-
ponds for his personal safety. AS Mo-
hammedans. the Sultan has nc more de-
vout subjects. and their power is conse-
quently enormous. though they number
not more than 1,500,C00
Albanians Obstinate
The powers have demanded that equal
rights be given to all those who live
within the Sultan's. domains. irrespec-
tive of nationality or religion, and the
centuries Of training in the doctrines OF
the Koran have naturally taught the Al
banians, as orthodox Mohammedans, to
look upon all Christians as dogs and
to oppose in every way in their power
the advancement OF those who do not
subscribe to the doctrine that There is
but one God, and Mohammed is his pro-
Dhet."
Actuated by such principles, they be-
Iieve that their most sacred duty is the
Strengthening of Christians, and they OPP
pose what TO them seems the culpability

A PRESCOTT AFFRAY.

Saturday evening about eight O'Clock
two Japanese, y. NJ. Gottcs and Henry
Gottos, probably cousins. got into an
alteration in the kitchen OF the Pres
colt House Cafe using knife and pistol
to emphasize their meaning.
One of them shot at the other. miss
ing him SO far the bullet hole has never
been found. The other grabbed knife
and went to work, carving the frame of
the pistol user in many places. One
thrust took effect in the neck and sew
eral in the arms. The gun man then
attempted to shoot again. and, to in
sure n good shot damned the barrel OF
the pistol so hard against his adver-
sary's foreheard he raised big lump
the size of the pistol barrel. The place
was also cut as round as a biscuit. At
the time he rammed the gun against
the fellows forehead he pulled the trig-
ger. but the cartridge failed to fire.
Had the gun gone off it would have
been all day with the Jap.

CUNNINGHAM PASS MINES
Assays Show Big Mineral Values-Re-
turns From Monroe Consolidated

T. j. Arnold arrived in Prescott Mon
day with a sack of very good looking
ore specimens, some of which came
from his group of claims in Cunning
nam Pass. says the Courier. Some of
the ore from these claims carries as
high as IS per cent copper. and some as
high as so ounces silver per ton. lot
of the ore shipped is said to have given
such returns in silver. Assay values of
the ore have also given results rang
ing from 50 to Sal per ton gold. 1t must
be understood that these lots of ore
and assays are from different points
on the group OF claims. The ledge
matter in the group is from six to
twelve feet wide. while the pay streak
is from six 20 twelve inches wide. Mr..
Arnold also had u lot of rich quartz
from the group of claims located five
miles from kirkland and owned by the
Rudy Brothers and Ed Morehead. II
is stated that shipments of ore from
these properties have Melted as high
as 500 per ton gold. a great deal of
the ore has been treated at Sharpneck 5
mill. where it is said to have plated
from SIS to S31 gold per ton. The lat
ter, of course, was the second class ore.
There is q ten inch vein of the rich ore
the second class ore ranges from 80 to

not been extensively worked but have

TROPIC LOVE LETTERS
Not Very Warm. Though Written by
Men Under Southern Skies.

For the real thing in love letters one
must get away from the published epis
tolary effusions of literary people and
study the quaint, ill-written, misspelled
missives of the natural man who lives
in barbarian or civilized lands, far
distant from the centers of light and
learning.
Here is a sample, heartfelt screed
written by a negro in Jamaica to Il
widow whom he loved. 1t is 4 genuine
Creole valentine:
Mrs. Agostiss RI. l hope you
know VALENTINE is now in seson. l will
take the pleasure to write you this, my
hearth is yours and you are mine, but
you do not know it. l love you as the
bee love the flower The flower may
fade, but true love shall never. My
love for you is a love that cannot be
fade. You shall be my love here an in
heaven for ever. The Rose in June is
not SO sweet as when two lovers kisses
meet. l still remain true lover. James"
James is an honest and prosperous
black man in the mountains of ia
maica. It is pleasant to know that
Mrs Agostiss" listened to his simple
appeal.
AS Z rule. however the negroes in the
letters. They intrust the delicate task
to a professional letter writer, usually
the cclored schoomaster of the village.
AS these schoolmasters are imperfectly
educated and anxious to air the little
knowledge they posses, their letters are
apt to be amusing. They are fond of
quoting from the Song of Solomon"
q favorite part of Scripture with them.
Here is an example from a letter writ
ten to a girl named Ann Williams:
My dear love, at present my love for
you is so strong that | cannot express.
So l even write that you may see it.
Ii is every man deauty to write a for
mil letter.
My pen is bad and my ink is pale.
but my love will never fail. King Solo
mon say that Love is strong as death,
and jealousy is cruel than the grave.
Love me little, bear me longer; hasty
love is not love at all. This is the first
time 1 sat down to write you about it.
Il love my Dove. Your love is black
and ruby-the chefer of ten thousand.
Your head is much fine gold. Your lock
are busy and black as d raven. Your
eyes was the eyes in river by the
rivers of warter. Your cheeks as a
bead o. e., bed) Of spices as sweet
mowers. our ups Is IKE lilies 1ouI
hand as gold wiring. Your countenance
as a Iebenon Your mouth look to be
more sweet Your sweet altogether.
81 have no moro time to write as ]
am so tiard and full time to go to

A Jealous and calculating lover says
II write to hear from you wether you
intend to make me fool. l is not a
puppy show that you think you find
any better than me, / witch (wish) to
