JOHN HAY AND THE BEAR.

From the hesitancy he shows in max
ing answer, 1t car be surmised that the
Russian bear is inclined to snarl over
Secretary Hays note proposing the
maintenance of the integrity of China.
If that policy is carried out. what will
there be left aside from Korea to fight
over? Japan has been jealous Of the
czar's aggressions in Manchuria and
has coveted Port Arthur. which is now
the terminus of the Russian railroad.
Although Manchuria is still nomin-
ally under the dominion of China. it is
in fact controlled by Russia, and the
bear undoubtedly has in mind the &C
QUESTION of that rich domain before
the termination of the present trouble.
Therefore. Secretary Hays note must
have come to him like a clap of thun.
der from a clear sky.
Manchuria is rich in all the elements
that make a great nation. 1t has vast
fields of excellent coal, mountains of
iron, rich mines of gold and silver and
almost unlimited forests of timber. In
extent it is twice the size of Indiana,
Illinois and Iowa combined, and its val.
leys are as rich as the Sangamon or
the Miami. 1t is capable Of sustaining
a population of sc. O00. 900 souls. Its
climate varies from that of southern
Maryland to that of Quebec. Altogeth-
er, it offered an inviting field to the
subjects of the car, and they have not
been slow to profit by the rare oppor-
tunity presented. Silently, but certain
ly, the inevitable Slav has pushed his
way to the open sea. Port Arthur being
the only Russian seaport not icebound
in winter. The robber bands of Boxers
who formerly overrun Manchuria and
drove honest INT ~peaceable citizens to
the south have been either killed or
pacified. Russian peasantry are freely
mingling with the Chinese, and the
country's industries are being devel-
oped in a manner little less than mag
ical.
The railroad is the power that
brought about the rapid change. One
can take a train at Port Arthur and
ride without change of cars to st.
Petersburg. Berlin and Paris. The
of the Russian road running
Manchuria was constructed by
private company, but the hand of the

THE WATER QUESTION.

The city council has invited the citi-
Of Laramie to assemble at the city
hall tomorrow evening and discuss the
water question, and. in order that the
question may be fully understood, The
Republican presents in this issue the
proof submitted to the board of con
troll, the motion subsequently presented
to the board by City Attorney Arnold
and a letter from State Engineer Clar-
ence T. Johnston showing the under
standing his office has in relation to
the present status of the question.
The Republican believes the matter
should be carefully discussed and a
Anal understanding arrived at in the
near future. II it is the purpose of
the city to take over the c%ompany's
interests and furnish 1t a perpetual
supply OF water, then the sooner an
amicable arrangement. is made the
better. On the other hand, If it is the
purpose of the city to permit the mat
ter to drift along there should at least
be an adjudication of the respective
rights of the city and company. The
time may come when there will be in
sufficient water for both (in his proof
Mr.. Arnold states that there is an in
sufficient supply now and the rail
road will attempt to shut of the use
Of water by residents of the city. In
such a contingency it would be very
important to know just what portion Of
the water flowing from the city
springs belongs to the citizens and
Just how much to the company.
Under the proof presented by our
city attorney it is held by the state
board of control thai there Is but one
priority. vested jointly in the city and
the railroad company. 1t is held that
the rights of the company In the ditch
are equal to the rights Of the city.
Before going to the meeting ONO
row night The Republican hopes that
every citizen interested in the welfare
of the city will carefully read the rec
ord presented and be prepared to Of

The State Of Wyoming,
Engineers Office, Cheyenne,

Cheyenne, WyO., Feb. 4, 1904.
Hon. w. E. Chaplin. Laramie, Wyo.
Dear Sir:-YoF communication of
February Sd has been received. The
decree OF the board of control fixing
the respective rights of the city Of
Laramie and the Union Pacific railroad
to the water Of the city springs stands
as follows On the records Of this Of
flee: City springs. tributary Of Lar
annie river; priority Number 1; name
Of ditch. city ditch and pipe line; name
of appropriation, city Of Laramie and
Union Pacific pipe line; postoffice ad-
dress, Laramie, Wyo.; date of appro-
priation. ditch 1868, pipe line 1874; use
to which water is to be applied. mu-
nicipal Int railroad uses"
The proof submitted to the superin-
tendent Of water division number one
has attached to it an agreement be-
tween the Union Pacific Railroad COM
pany and the county of Albany defining
the relative rights of the people inter
ested and the company in the water of
the springs. In answe tt question 16
of the proof, the city attorney, who
presented the testimony not only for
the city of Laramie, but by agreement
for the Union Pacific railroad COM
pany, is the following: THE rights of
the city of Laramie and the Union Pa
cifc Railroad company are defined re-
spectively in the contract copies of
which are attached"
Under the circumstances. it was i'm
possible for the board of control to
separate the respective rights of the
city and the railroad company. as the
contract was recognized to be in force
at the time proof was submitted. The
decree was. therefore. rendered as
above given, and 1t would seem that IL

Deafness. Cannot Be Cured

OeAIueS8 C4nhoI BE cured
by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There Is only one way to cure deafness,
and that Is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness Is caused by an inflamed con
diton Of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube il
infamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing. and when 1t is
entirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out Of
ten are caused by catarrh, which il
nothing but An innamed condition Of
the mucous services.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case Of deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars,
free.

THE FIRE IN
What is the world coming to?
Everyone does saw.

What is the world coming to?
Everyone does say.
When they heal of the great calamit:ts
That are happening every day.
There has been some great disasters
In nineteen hundred and four,
But the greatest one on record
Is the fire in Baltimore.
About IL O'Clock at midday.
1t was an awful hour,
The fire spread so rapidly
1t bafled human power.
The firemen fought heroicly.
AS they never fought before,
But their efforts were unavailing
At the fire in Baltimore.
One brave and gallant fireman.
So the papers said,
Fought the fire fiend bravely,
With courage u~ndismayed;
But, alas! he became exhausted.
And he fell to rise no more:
He was buried in the ruins
At that fire in Baltimore.
1t was a scene of horror
And excitement must be high.
For the fire came upon them
Like a bolt from a clear sky.
Merchants. bankers and journalists
Their misery did deplore.
When they saw their business burning
At the fire in Baltimore.
Though their losses may be great
And cause them grief and pain.
Still the people are encouraged
By the words of Mayor McLane.
For Columbia and Maryland
The city will restore
And raise it from the ruins
or the fire in Baltimore.
From the fire in Baltimore
One lesson we may learn,
That the savings of a lifetime
May in one burn.
Be not attached to earthly goods.
But to a higher country a
Where Cur treasures will not perish
Like the fire in Baltimore.
