 The event lad been anticipated and under official directions the mind of the populace were prepared to re- ceive with resignation the announce nlent of tn fact by publication Of des- patches forwarded last week by Gen Stoessel. describing the state to which the garrison had been reduced.
 Expectation in some quarters that tlSe surrender of the fortress would be followed at the capital by anti war demonstrations has not been realized. So far as there has been any expression of feeling il has been toward carrying on the war with all fate of Port Arthur.
 Among Russian officials there is a feeling that any proposals of peace that may be made must be with the fact in view that in order that pace be lasting Japan must recognize Rus sia's right to free transit of it's ships through the waters of the Far East.

 The body had evidently been in that place. for several days as the drifting sand had partly covered it. No solution has been offered which explains the matter. but the general ly accepted theory is that while in an intoxicated condition the unknown waded across the river on one of the cold nights last week and died as a result of the exposure.

In regular session last night the city council heard from MT. Sowies that the recent movement on the part of citzens, the Copper Queen Co, and the Calumet & Arizona to bring about establishment of a sanitary sewer system had brought a Los Angeles sewer engineer of repute who had looked the ground over, formed plans and given a general estimate Of the cost of equippiug Bisbee with sewer. Mir. Sowles stated that senti- ment in the city was predominantly in favor of the sewer being a munici- pal property. He also urged. and was sustained by the balance of the coun- cil that immediate action in the mat ter was most important.
 To make such an enterprise possi- ble it was conceded that the legisla- ture must first give the city q char ter under which it will possess auth ority to act To this end. the city attorney was instructed to finish a bill for presentation at PhQenix which will remedy matters. In the same conenction. it was declared Mayor Taylor. or some one else with influence in territorial affairs. should be sent to Phoenix with the bill to work for it's passage. The matter was then put over to special meet ing of the council. which will be called when MT. Sutter has finished his work some time next week.
 The next most important piece of business before the council was the ordinance providing for an inspector Of buildings. It was passed and af- ter due publication the council will appoint the inspector MT. Hogan brought up forcibly the need for an other policeman. Action was put over to the special meeting
 An ordinance was presented by the F.; q. G $. W. providing that loiter- ing about it's depot by undesirable persons and boys be made a misde- meanor Adonted. The new hose house ordinance passed. Various committee reports were presented and accepted. All were formal.
