WILL NOT BEG FOR PEACE
Russia Is Willing to Bargain With
Japan for Cessation OF War,
But That's All.
But That's All,

Advices from st. Petersburg say
that if Japan simply announces her
terms with the ultimatum that they
must either be accepted or rejected
the negotiations are sure to come to
an abrupt end.
Russia is prepared to bargain for
terms, and that's all. If she sees that
a result of bargaining will be campar-
atively advantageous Russia will ac-
cept. If not, the war will go on.
Russia does not consider that she
has been beaten to her knees, She be-
lieves the position of General Line
vitch's army entities her to assume a
strong attitude in discussing the peace
terms.
The Publishers Press correspondent
is informed that while the question OF
indemnity will be one which will re-
uuire the most subtle handling on the
part of the peace commissioners there
is an equal chance of negotiations
over the future of Viadivostok.

AN EXAMPLE OF LAWS DELAY.
For Five Years Noted Murderer Has
Escaped Hands of the ExcutiOner.

For Five Years Noted Murderer Has
Escaped Hands of the Excutioner.
The New York court of appeals has
refused a stay of execution in the case
of Albert T. Patric, the New York
lawyer convicted of the murder of
William Marsh Rice, an aged million
aire, for the purpose of securing pos
session of his estate. The Patrick
case affords a striking illustration of
the laws delays. The Rice tragedy
occurred more than five years ago,
and Patrick was first convicted more
than four years ago and sentenced to
death Since that time Patrick and
his counsel have crawled through
knotholes in the laws like rats, the
CONDEMNED man from time to time
barely escaping the hands of the ex-
ecutioner. 1t would seem, however,
that they had at last exhausted the
technicalities, though this is not an
absolute certainty. Until Patrick is
actually placed in the chair there will
remain a possibility that some new
scheme in his behalf will be brought
forward to delay the execution of the
sentence of the court.

I repeat with emphasis my assertion
"Mr. Ogden is negro worshiper

school six days in the week on
Broadway where negro equality is

Mr. Ogden is the head of the John

he conducts there the only frst-clasS

Abraham Ball was cut to death ear

Stocks place, in Lee county, by Bran
dy Fleming. Both the dead man and
his slayer are negroes.
The trouble began over some trivial
matter. A dispute arose, and finally
became so heated that the men began
fighting. For several minutes the only
weapons appealed to were the fists of
the combatants, but when Ball began
to get the best of the fistic argument
Fleming brought large pocket knife
into play.
He used the weapon with trightful
effect. Ball was severely stabbed in
a number of places, and his throat
was cut from ear to ear. He died al
most instantly.
The matter was reported to the Lee

arrested and placed in jail at Lees

INCREASE OF GOLD PRODUCT
MEANS GREATER PROSPERITY
From San Francisco Journal

The director of the mints statement of the worlds
output of gold and silver during the year 1904 shows a
total value of $347, $50, 700 of the first named metal and
$97, 726, 300 as the commercial value of the white metal
produced Compared with the production of 1903 these
figures show an increase of approximately $500 600 in
the output of gold alone. The United States increased
its output about S~7,000,000, while South Africa turned
out about SIS, 100000 more than it did the preceding year.
From what is now known of the gold production of the
present year.it is reasonably assumed that it will exceed
the output of 1904 at least $4,000, 900. A large proper
10Th of this excess is coming from the Transvaal mines,
where the monthly yield of gold has already reached
the average of an annual production of $lOOOOO,OOO. 1t
has been assumed by skilled statisecians that the maxi
mum limit of the gold mines of South Africa is approx
mately 1925, 100000. Before that figure can be reached,
however, a much larger number of laborers than are
now employed by these properties must be obtained, and
the labor supply there seems at present to be shrinking,
as the number of Kifirs working in the Rand mines is
diminishing at a more rapid ratio than the Importation
of Chinese coolies.
For the past ten years the worlds gold production
has been unparalleled in the history of mining 1t is es-
timated by the London Bankers Magazine that approx
mately G 500, 000, 600 has been added during that period
to the worlds gold supply. OF this sum, about ES45OOOr
900 has been added to the worlds coinage and probably
e 150,000,00 has been used in the industrial arts. The
enormous volume of new gold which has been coined
accounts, undoubtedly, for the worlds increased indus
trial and commercial activity. A large proportion of this
Increase has been obtained from the goldbearing depos-
its within the jurisdiction of the United States and 1t
has all found employment in the development of Ameri-
can Industries. AS there are no signs Of exhaustion in
any quarter in the sources of gold production, but, to the
contrary, strong indications of a future Increase owing
to the introduction of more economical methods of min
ing and reduction, the presumption is fair that the indus
trial prosperity to which the extraordinary gold produc-
ton of the past decade has given birth will be continued
hereafter indefinitely, for gold Is Of no value unless en-
ployed, and the field of its employment in the useful arts
will surely expand correspondingly with the volume OF
the yield of the metal in response to the natural law Of
necessity.

CITY SHIP

The Morning Journal is very anxious that the people
of Albuquerque shall thoroughly understand the question
Of municipal ownership of water supplies, and to this
end it never publishes anything on the question which
does not favor private or corporate ownership.
Its latest in this line is a quotation from the New
York Globe, which divides all people into two classes
the Platonists and the Aristotelians. This division does
very well in philosophy. the only matter which claimed
the attention of either Plato, the teacher, or Aristotle,
his pupil, and. their systems of philosophy are known to
this day as intuitionaism and experimentation, The
methods Of the former have, in recent times. been re
garded as those Of religion, while those of the latter
have been claimed as the especial implement of exact sci
ence; but what either has to do with municipal owner
ship of waterworks is a poser, since the water supply in
the days of both master and pupil, in that long time be-
fore Christ, 42G322, consisted of the water carrier and
his jar.
If the Morning Journal is looking for a division OF
people on the question Of a towns owning it's own wa
ter supply, The Citizen would kindly cal. its attention to
one which is modern, practical, and bears directly on
the subject. The Denver News said. the other morning:
Much Of the opposition to municipal ownership IN
this country, outside of the public service corporations
arises from a class of citizens who are conservative by
nature and as such always opposed to anything which in
their judgment savors of newness. They are quite con-
tent to jog along after the manner of their grandfathers,
needless that the great world outside of their own par
ticular community may long since have departed from
the antiquated methods there in vogue"

COL. FROST'S VIEW

Quite recently the New Mexican spoke of Congress
man Tawney as having seen a great light in his recent
trip through New Mexico and tour of Arizona, but the
editor of the New Mexican seems himself to have seen
a greater light. The light which Tawney saw changed
him from al, Investigation. seeking to form an opinion, to
an out and out opponent of statehood for either territory
or for the two combined. That was a great light as
the New Mexican properly designated it. But the one
that Colonel Frost encountered must have been fierce
for it changed him from absolute assurance that joint
statehood had no show whatever, to a candid confession
that: The situation, however, is very much mixed and
people can draw their own conclusions. Speaker Cannon
still insists ON the passage of the joint statehood bill and
it is said that President Roosevelt is friendly to this plan.
There seems to he so auch' of diversity of opinion that
nothing more definite can be said at this time and until
after the meeting of congress in December
1t is to be regretted that the colonel could not re-
main longer in the lime-light of Washington, when he
might possibly have returned as an advocate for joint
ure, especially as the new bill to that end will contain
a provision for changing the debt of Santa Fe county to
the charge of the state, a measure which the colonel has
often worked for under territorial government.

OdTOl hFQen IN FOllV FTltnTOSEs
Polly is quite at sea concerning the
outcome Of her frolic with Carlysle,
as that lover is himself. The pretty
uncertainty on both sides comes in be-
cause their little heart affair Is apt
to collide at any moment with the
war complications that surround the
household. Colonel Primrose happens
to be in active sympathy with the
rebels, even if his home is within
sight of the dome of the national cap
itol, and there are little plottings 60
ing on under the root that are ex-
pected to help Lees advance upon
Washington. Carlysle confesses to a
little weakness for the union cause,
and that fills the home with appre-
tensions that he might be tempted
in a burst of patriotism to run off to
the union camp and make known all
he has seen.
So Polly's ingenuity is taxed to the
utmost to keep the romance outside
the war lines, and in spite of all her
tiness, the entertainment comes A
rival for her hand, who Is entertained
at the house, d%enounces Carlysle as a
federal SPY, and Polly is enough
aroused by the accusation. to order
Carlysle from the house. But it all
comes right in the end. Carlysle is
freed of the suspicion, his accuser in
the sequel, steals the colonies trusty
secession horse to carry the news of
the plottings to Grant. and Polly sur
renders to her union lover. Through
it all one would never suspect Miss
Arden's subtle Interpretation of the
part. that Polly ever had a serious
thought. She laughs her way into
all the complications, and then as
easily out Of them again. She is gay
without being frivolous; leases with
out tormenting; light and bright and
altogether so captivating a little rogue
that everyone is delighted to see her
happy at the fall of the curtain.

The Springfield Republican, one of the ablest papers
published in the far east, its home being at Springfield,
Mass, and generally enc of the most sensible and con
sentative, recently wanted to know what is to be said of
the fitness for statehood of the southwestern territory
which went to Pennsylvania and chose one OF the Quay
gang of politicians for its delegate to congress.
To this The Evening Gazette, published at Haver-
hill, Mass, makes reply by asking: What is to be said
of the northern state which continues to send members
of that gang to the senate and lower house of congress?
Why have one standard of fitness for the old state and
another for the new territorial applicant"
The questions of the Gazette are certainly a most eX-
cellent tit for a tat" and The Citizen thanks this far
down east journal for taking up the territorys cause.
But probably both of the Massachusetts papers were not
familiar with the fact that Senator Andrews had for sew
eral years been actively engaged in the development or
central New Mexico, having been instrumental in direct
ing to the territory large Investments of capital, and
that therefore many thought his large financial interests
in New Mexico. and his acknowledged influence in he
cas- peculiarly qualified for the position of delegate.

STATEHOOD

Statehood in ali of its phases-joint statehood, SIN
gle statehood and no statehood at all-will be publicly
discussed in the principal cities of Arizona by two of the
best posted politicians in the territory-Hon. J. Frank
Wilson, former delegate to congress from Arizona, and
Col. Allen T. Bird, editor of the Oasis of Nogales.
Colonel Bird, through the columns of the Oasis, ana
by a personal letter mailed to Mr.. wilson, challenged the
latter gentleman to meet him in public and debate the
question of statehood, the ailabsorbing political issue
now interesting the people of Arizona and New Mex
leo.
Colonel Wilson is an avowed opponent of the propo-
sition of admitting Arizona and New Mexico to the Union
as one state, while Colonel Bird is the champion of joint
statehood for the two territories. Colonel Wilson. in a
letter, has accepted the challenge, and a committee is to
arrange the details.
The cities named by Mr.. Bird in his challenge to Mr..
Wilson, as places where he would like TO discuss the
question in public with the ex-deegate to congress. are
Prescott, Phoenix, Tucson, Tombstone. Blsbee. Douglas
and Nogales and such other places as the gentleman re-
ceiving the challenge might wish to suggest. The time
named is the latter part Of November or early in Decem-
ber.-Tombstone Prospector.
