q. m.-The situation on Hun river

One correspondent of The Associated
Press wires from Mukden. under date
of September "a, that the greatest
uncertainty prevails there as to wheth-
er General Kuropatkin viii accept or

ether Associated Press correspondent,
telegraphing from Harbin on the

japanese column is moving up the

Meanwhile the advance OF the main
Japanese forces continues extremely
slow.
The general staff has not yet receiv-

ber 20, at Sanlunyu, mentioned In a re-
port by Marquis Oyama. the Japanese
commander in chief in Manchuria. I'm
which he claimed that the Japanese
drove the Russians north. Marquis
Oyama, in the same dispatch. refers "a

al Mistchenko's and General Samson
offs division. He omits TO mention.
however, that in the engagement the
Japanese twice made attacks and were
twice repulsed with heavy loss.
The alleged defeat OF the Russians at
Sanlunyu was probably a trifiing affair
of outposts. which General Kuropatkin
did not think deserving of special men,

the presence of a Japanese column at
this point, which fact confirms the

Messrs. Burrows. Jackson and Clark, of Bruce, Minnesota. are an i'm portant trio registered at the Copper Queen, Insofar as Arizona interests in general are concerned, for the gentle men and those they are associated with have wide holdings in the South west.
 The arrival of MT Burrows and NIT. Jackson here at this particular time IS of particular interest, fnasmuch as they are identified very prominently with the deal that is pending for the Bisbee Queen property. and which, if consummated, will mean another act i've developing property oh much fav- ored ground for this camp.
 Another object of the visit of the gentlemen is to look after matters of litigation dn which they are interested. Asked last night regarding these mat ters. MT Burrows said that it was matter for the courts to adjust, and that he had nothing to say. With reference to the Bisbee Queen. he was equally uncommunicative. stating that until final arrangements were made he preferred to say nothing, both out of regard for the Interests of his asso- ciates and the property. It is known however. that the present visit of MT Burrows and associates is one of final inspection of the Bisbee Queen ground, and that few days mere will in all likelihood see the close of the deal for its purchase from the present owners. Further than th.s. it is also known that adjacent ground is being figured upon, and that the Burrows crowd wants 1t and will have it if the Bisbee Queen property shows up right By the latter is meant that un- der the terms of sale that have been made on the Bisbee Queen, the pur- chasers will be privileged to sink dia- mond drill holes and to take other steps in pursuance of Investigation of the ground. It may also be added that if MT Burrows and his associates come in. they will give to the camp strength of much importance.

WarIlIng to Vags-Warning was given yesterday in Judge Browns $ Court to vagrants and hangers-on who may have struck the city with the Carnival Shows. Two men without visible means of support who were picked up by Officer Chidester got ten days in jail. It is the program of the officers to pick up all the strays they may get their eyes on. In con- necIion with the sentences the va grants are sure to get in the city courts there is an added terror in the fact that the town has a chain gang and that t = open at all times for tn active employment of labor that may find its way to the jail.

New Years Calls.

New Years calling in New York was
purely the outgrowth Of an early Dutch
custom, yet strangely enough many OF
the descendants OF the early Dutch set
tiers fought against the continuance of a
practice which they declared had long
since passed beyond the bounds 70 which
the fathers limited 1t and had been made
the excuse for great excuses on a day
which ought to be given over 10 the
forming or good resolutions.
In tho early days OF Manhattan island
the male Dutch settlers every New Years
day started out as a matter of duty to
visit the houses OF all their friends. The
good wives who received them always had
bowls Of steaming hot punch upon the
best room, table. The latter day Dutch
DESCENDANTS denied the punch and said It
was coffee. The irreyerent latter day
champions of New Years calling denied
the punch also and told their opponents
that their forefathers would not know a
punch Il they saw it and that they drank
nothing hut 81 smelling hot gin.
Whatever It was that the good burgh-
ers drank. they succeeded In ealing with
IN the compass OF the day upon every
family of any note on Manhattan island.

I wondered why my mother was say
ing this to me, when tears came in her
beloved eyes, and she continued.

St. Margaret's broke into a merry
chime just then, and mother ran away

Up, up, Jack, My son must not be
a sluggard on New Years day"
The day had been dun and gray. A
Whitley sense of snow thrilled through
the sharp, wintry air, which made the
warmth and comfort within intoxi-
eating. From . o'clock in the morning
a line OF callers had poured owe the
doorsill of the Steele house. Carriages
enlptied their loads of elegant looking
men at their curbstone. the tails OF rich
coats fiourished like black wings behind
the flying figures. while white satin
waistcoats and light gloves cleaned Ia

steps. Few little boys were among the
guests. and my jealous heart had abb
sorbed a grain OF comfort from this
knowledge.

rightful due.
Mary was especially nice and glad to
see me. She had two or three little
tricks of speech lately that ! liked, and
her laugh was getting so sweet and
low.
Through the long parlors, under both
the big prismatic chandeliers, was
spread the table that wonderful

1t was a mean trick, and my cheeks

After that error I felt 1t my duty to

SELF neat, and corrected a dozen small
faults, of which mother despaired, In or
