ORANGE TOWN MEETING.
Circular Regarding the Bridge Ques-
 tion.

Circular Regarding the Bridge Ques-
 tion.
 A circular relating to the special town meeting, to be held in Orange on Sat- urday afternoon at three o'clock, has been distributed to the voters of the town by the officials. It sets forth the controversy over the construction of a bridge at Kimberly avenue as follows:
 At a special meeting held on the Sd day of June, 1903, the citizens present, by a majority of twenty-four voted in favor of a draw or lift bridge, and ap- pointed committee to act with the se- lectmen in trying to effect an agreement with the authorities of New Haven for the construction of such bridge.
 We were unable to make such an agreement with the New Haven author ities, as they firmly held to their reso- lution to build a stationary bridge in conformity with the last order of the secretary of war
 "There Is a deadlock between the two towns, and the time fixed for the com pletion of the work, according to the last order, is rapidly passing.
 New Haven has brought suit in the superior court against Orange to com pei the building of a stationary bridge.
 We have employed counsel, who has asked the court to order a drawbridge, in accordance with the last vote of this town.
 Hearing on the subject is likely to be protracted beyond the time fixed for the completion of the work.
 ''The time limited by the secretary 0 war for the construction of new bridge expires March 28, 1904. The per- sons corporations or associations faiI- ing to comply with the order of the secretary of war are guilty of a nisde- meanor, and on conviction are subject to a fine not exceeding five thousand dollars, land every month such persons corporations or association shall remain in default in respect to the removal or alteration of such bridge shall be deemed a new offense, and subject the

Also That of the Members of the Triple
 Alliance.

Paris, Feb. 1.-The attitude of France in the presence of the Japanese emergency is subject of the deepest concern among the officials. Naturally no declaration officially laying down the governmental policy is forthcoming, all though it is expected that M. Delcasse will. during the week, make statement in the chamber of deputies clearly out lining the French position and explain ing the action taken by the French gov ernment to avert war, in the meantime the general line of French policy, as gathered from the most authoritative sources, is as follows:
 France will undoubtedly maintain strict neutrality and she will endeavor in every way to keep free from all pos sible entanglements which might draw her into hostilities. This is primarily due to the belief of French officials that France has no deep interest involved in the region in dispute; her direct inter- ests in Toncuin are too far from the scene of action to make war a matter of special concern to France. Thesonly cause for French participation would be her oblizations and sentimental consid- erations under the Franco Russian alli- ance.
 Officials have carefully considered just how far France is likely to be in volved under the terms of this alliance, which they say contains two distinct safeguards limiting French participa- tion. The first of these is that Russia must be attacked. and the second that this attack must be by two powers. The requirements that Russia be attacked has been one of the chief causes for Russia's temporizing, as she has not wished to sacrifice the chances of Frances support. Officials here, how ever. have believed and hoped that Russia would strike the first decisive blow, as such action would, in a meas ure. relieve France from participating in prof1tIess war
 Concerning the condition in the al- liarce providing that two powers must attack Russia before France becomes involved, M. Delcasse has distinctly stated to members of the diplomatic corps that Corea and China would not be considered such powers if either Joined Japan against Russia. The only remaining power likely to assist Japan against Russia are Great Britain and the United States. Regarding Great Britain. the official belief here is that she does not desire to be embroiled.

SOME WEATHER.
Last Months Record Holds the Pain
for all Records.

for all Records.
According to the report of J. H.
Smith, the U. S. weather observer of
this section, Nevada, or at least
Western Nevada received more than
her share of precipitation. The month
of February opened with fair weather
but before it had grown many days
old the work of making record was
started. During the month there was
but six clear days, the rest of the
month being confined to cloudy and
wet weather. For the entire month
20 days, 5S5 inches of moisture fell
which leads the record for twenty five
years. The next record that compares
with this was February, 1897, when
4.3O inches of moisture visited this
valley.
By the amount of precipitation that
was furnished last month the defici-
ency has all been take up and western
Nevada is ahead on the game up to
date.
Many old timers have recorded that
they believe compare with this, but
when it is sized up by figures it will
be seen that the past month holds
the palm in the wet weather line.
In the mountains the same condit-
ion exists. The measurements of snow
show that there is more than an aver
age amount in the high mountains
while the high winds have drifted the
snow into mammoth banks.
At Marlette lake there is the usual
supply, while in the upper Alpine
range there is more than the usua
amount At Sweetwater, the Monte
Cristo mine reports over seven feet d
snow on the level, while on the hill:
beyond there are drifts that will talk
an all summers sun to melt down.
The situation is good one, both TO
farmer and the miner and should re
suit in untold prosperity.

Their Command.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 2-The
Japs are out with the announcement
that they have Port Arthur at their

ships in the harbor out Of commission.
They state that the city is doomed,

Some correspondents go so far as
to say that while the city is doomed
that the fall will not take place for a
week at least, as the Russians have
that much reserve forces with them
! and can hold out that long. The fact
that no Russian dispatches have been
received the past twelve hours seems

SOMETHING WRONG.
Comstock Ores Sent to California
Smeiters for Treatment.

Shelters for Treatment.
During the past few months and in
fact, Of the past year there has been
more or less ore from the ComstOck
shipped to California for reduction,
or treatment. Since the strike in
Ophir there is hardely day but what
ore is in transit to the Selby people
or some other refinery on the coast.
The more ore encountered the more
there is goes to the refineries away
from Nevada.
There is something radically wrong
in this sort of transaction. At the pre-
sent time there are two or three mills
on the Carson river that are capable Of
handling the output of the Comstock
mines to as good and better advantage
than the Selby people, or in fact any
other reduction works.
The mills were built for the especial
treatment of ores from the COmstock
and it is safe to say that better re-

works than comes from those in Cali
fornia, as some of them are notorious
for the unfair treatment of the miner
and the people who supply the ores.
Just why the people who are in col

the product to California is a ques
ton. 1t is not the work of the New
