Bisbee lost the musical treat of the season. the Silver Slipper Co.," The reason Bisbee lost this splendid theat- rical attraction was on account of the small stage of the Bisbee Opera House.

China Rsslsts Russla's Demand.

HoDgkong, Jan. lO.-Advices from Pc
king are to the effect that Admiral Alex
Jeff, the Russian vieeroy of the far East,
has been strongly urging the Chinese au'
thorlties to sign secret treaty IN regard
to Russia's status in Manchuria. In view
of the present critical situation, the Chi
nese authorities have firmly refused to do
50.
Admiral Alexief demanded that, under
a secret treaty made with the Tartar Gen
eral Tsend Chi in 1900, Russia be per-
mitted to establish a residency in Mukden'
This demand the Chinese authorities have
rejected also and have demanded that the
Russian troops withdraw.

Berlin, Jan. 1.-THE Russian govern
ment has informed the powers that it will
respect fully the rights any nation has In
Manchuria under treaty with China. This
declaration is made without reservation.
Russia gives formal expression to this
policy now in consequence of the contro'
veTsy with Japan, one of whose persistent
contentious has been for definition OF
Russia policy in Mancburia and an ac-
acknowledgement of Japan's trade privileges.
Russias reply has been, in substance as
follows:
"We cannot discuss MahLhuria with
you any more than We could Australia or
the Philippines. Manchuria belongs nei-
ther to us, nor to you. 1t does not lie
within the jurisdiction Of either Of US to
dispose of The future Of ManchWiA."
Russia, however, is wiling to observe
the treaty rights of all the powers. IN Man
phuria and now engages to do 50.
Russia, it is added, thus removes fIVm
the negotiations one Ut the points upon
which Japan counted for the moral cup
port Of other p,wers and @hereon she s.
ppcialIy had the sympathy Of the United
S,ates and Great Britain.

Cur Street LIghts,

Three years aIo las! October the streets
of Tazewell We're lighted for the first time
by electricity. Since that time there have
been but very few nights SHen the streets
were not we'll lighted, except for a period
of about one month last fall when an I'M
fortunate accident occurred to tie engine
at the power house. Ths injury TO the
engine was SD considerable that new parts
had to be made and that was done a.
spec lily as the manufacturers could be
reached and could turn out tie work.
We have had the lights on our streets
long enough 10 realize that they are al
most indispensable for the comfort, con.
venience and protection of the town. No
citizen who stops to think would now like
to see the place return to its old state OF
darkness. We apprehend that it never
will.
In a short time the contract of the town
with the Messrs. Spots for furnishing
lights will expire and we have heard that
it is their desire to ascertain now, or very
soon, whether new contract can be made
with the corporation. The reason foi
having the matter of new contract set
tied some months before the expiration ol
the old contract is just and intelllgenI
one. 1t is the purpose of Mr. John M
SPOTS, who owns the plant, if the CONTRACT
is renewed to make extensive and valuable
improvements to the plant. A new III
horse power Corliss engine and other flint
machinery will be added. Of course Mr.
SPOTS does not wish to make the large ex
penditure, if the contract is not to be re
newed.
We trust the town council will see tn
wisdom and justice of at once arriving q
an understanding in the matter with tn
Messrs. Spots.
There is another question also tha
should have the consideration Of tn
town, and that is the compensation Whlcl
the Messrs. SPOTS should receive. Unde
the old contract the amount paid then
per year has been only $4,000. This ha
not been anything like adequate coppen
sation and has resulted in a loss all tn
time to the parties. The town wants an
needs the lights, but we should not wan
or use them without fair compensation.
the town is able to have the lights 1t ough
to be willing to pay a just compensate
for them. The gentlemen who now con
pose the town council are level-heade
business men, and will, no doubt, take
business view of the matter. II they Sc
proper to make new contract with tn
Messrs. SPOTS and give them a fair prie
for lighting the town they will receive tn
endorsement of the citizens.

Colombian Forces are Already Within
Panama.

Panama, Jan. l0.-Although the United
States authorities here insist that county
will preserve the integrity of the territory
of the new republic, Il now appears that
the Colombian headquarters are actually
within the limits of the old Department
Of Panama.
Under border arrangements with the
Department of Cauca the port Of Tim'
matt was conceded to Panama. Leaders
of the new Government declare that this
port is theirs and they will not surrender
the claim.
Reports from the frontier indicate thai
great dissatisfaction already exists among
the Colombian troops. The Government
is backward in paying them and iacil'-

With Interest.
Paris, Jan. ia strong current Of
official sentiment was set in motion today
favorable to strengthening the hands Of
Russia in her claims TO exercise para
mount influence in Manchuria. 1t is
pointed out that Russia, having conceded
Japans paramount inhuence in Korea,
Japan appears to be unwilling to make a
reciprocal concession by recognizing Rus.
sias paramount influence III Manchurla.
There is reason to believe that the late
Russian note makes clear Russa's attitude
and intentions concerning Manchurla and
how far she is disposed to recognize Jap
anese ambitions in Manchuria. The gen.
eral purport of the Russian position is
that Japanese merchants and individuals
shall have the right of free access 10 Man
churia for purposes of travel and com
nerce, but that Russia does not wish this
to be extended to the colonization of Jap.
anese in large communities in Manchuria.
Strong sympathy is expressed here in
behalf of the Russian view as it is said
that the general admission Of Japanese
colonization in Manchuria would create
questions of political and racial domina-
ton. 1t is asserted to be in the interest OF
tue commerce of Europe and America
that Russia should replace Chinas author
ity within Manchuria. 1t ls maintained in
governmental quarters that it Id to the
general interest of Europe and America to
give moral support to settlement OF the
pending conflict on the basis of Japan's
authority in Kore4 and Russla's authority
in Manchuria. Those who are IN the best
position to know Russia intentions say
her determination to exercise her sphere
of influence in Manchuria is irreyocabe,
Owing to Russias latest attitude in
Manchura it is the view of official circles
here that the main issue of the negotia-
uons now centers on Manchuria, instead
of Korea.
