RUSSIA'S REPLY
HAS ARRIVED

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 22.-A
long cablegram from st. Petersburg
which is believed to be the Russian re.
ply, arrived about 10 O'Clock tonight,
and M. Whites secretaries, M. Ma.
buokoff and M. Plancon, Immediately
began deciphering it.
Considerable excitement was appar.
emit in the annex where the Russian
headquarters are located. Sheet by
sheet he translation was taken to M.
Whites room. The rumor is that it ia
refusal non possimus, reiteration of
the Russian position, that she has
given ample desire for peace in the ar
ticles already accepted, and that more
she could not yield with dignity and
honor.
No confirmation Of the report that
Russia's reply is in the negative can be
obtained, and it must be accepted with
all reserve. The lights in the rooms
of M. Witte and Baron de Rosen were
burning long after midnight.

"Elephants are but rarely seen in the

'"This Is due to many causes. In the

'This sense Is so largely developed
that they can recognize danger at a

alarm is given they move quickly but

Seventeenth Century Customs.

Seventeenth Century Customs.
In the seventeenth century English
men thought it injurious to sleep in
rooms facing the sun, SO most Of the
rooms faced north and east, opening
Of a passage or else out Of each other.
At the head of the stairs slept the mas
ter and his wife, and all the rooms
tenanted by the rest Of the, household
were accessible only through that. The
daughters of the house and maidserv-
ants lay In rooms on one side, say the
right, with the maids in those most
distant; those of the men lay on the
left, the sons of the house nearest the
chamber Of the master and the serving
men farthest away.

MINING oRE>WHlcH is
AFlRE AT THE TIME

It is claimed that j. J. Shaw is now
mastering the fire in the United Verde
mine and successfully extracting ore
from the fire district. He uses COM
pressed air TO drive back the flames
and the fumes. He has succeeded in
reducing the temperature in the breast
Of the stope, where his men are work
ing, from l25 to S5 degrees. This is
a surprising performance, and at first
glance taxes ones creduality to the
limit. But when the system Is eX-
planned it is simple enough, and one
wonders why IL was not discovered
years ago. The air does not exiting
uish the fire, but simply drives it and
its smoke and fumes back and re-
duces the temperature along the outer
edge OF the burning sulphuretts so
that the miners can break down and
remove the ore. The process of dTiY

1870 by Colonel w. G. Marmon, now
deceased. Previously, a parish school,
under the auspices of the Catholic
church, was taught by Manuel Cassias,
now living in the town OF Juan Ia
foya.
A large number Of Laguna children
have been taught in training schools,

These villages are parts of the La

A sheep dipping plant, with large
capacity, is being established four
miles north of Laguna.
A large number of men from the
pueblo are employed on the Santa Fe
Pacific railway, principally in the
round house and machine shops at
Winslow, Ariz. The population of the
pueblo numbers about 1,400, living
! in several villages. The people culti-
vate small farms and gardens, and
have many improved fruit orchards
and a few vineyards. They own sheep,
| cattle, horses and burros in consid
| cradle numbers.

BY JOS. w. FOLK,
Governor of the State Of Missouri.

Most of the municipalities of the
country are governed by the political
bosses and not by the people. When
ever the bosses are dethroned and the
people enthroned then the question of
good government will be solved, and
not until then.
We have seen the fruits of bossism
in st. Louis, as we have never seen
it in any other city, for the reason
that in the three and one-half years
more corruption was exposed in that
city than ever before in the entire
country. And It was done in spite
of the lethargy of the people, in spite
of the threats of the bosses, and in
spite of the obstacles thrown in the
way of the circuit attorney by lead
ing citizens.
No crusade against bossism can
succeed until the people realize the
situation and understand their power
Ut is only by the aggressiveness of
good citizens-by their active interest
in public affairs-by putting the well
fare of the city and state above mere
party suCcess-that the train of evils
following in the wake of political boss
ism can be eradicated. The leader
who cannot see the bad element in
his own party and fails to condemn
it, cannot hope to successfully lead a
reform movement.
A fight against bossism, to sue
ceed, must be led by a fearless man,
