BeSIOw Wants a Wad.

William D. Beslow, of macaroni
fame, and who upon his removal
from the city several weeks ago
carried with him a reputation
which would weigh. full sixteen
ounces to the pound, has entered
suit against J. Mesberg, the furni-
ture man, for $4,000 damages for
alleged false imprisonment.
Mr.. Beslow's damaged feelings
was the outcome of his arrest for
disposing of certain chattels upon
which Mr.. Mesberg had claim.
Since leaving the city Beslow went
west, where it is reported he has en-
gagged in business. opening bird
and monkey store.
Mr.. Mesberg may be put to some
troubled and trit1ing expense, but
it is scarce likely that William will
receive check for $4,000, despite
the fact that Mr.. Mesberg could
doubtless write such a check and
have it honored at face value.

not the time to rightly get settled in

Object to Big Advance.

In speaking of the probable price
of ore for the coming season, a rep
resentative of prominent ore inter
ests is reported as saying he con-
sidered it unwisc to raise the price
of ore for 1906 more than - cents
per ton
He contends the furnace interests
will continue to buy at such figures,
and that by the exercise of proper
judgment on the part of the ore
producers the present era of pros
perity in the business may be
greatly prolonged.

voters, by reason Of death, removal
from the county, or other causes. The
presence of the name on the book is
only prima facie evidence that the
party Is qualified elector. The SUI
pervisor can receive evidence outside
Of the books for the purpose Of deter
mining whether the names appearing
on the books are those Of persons now
qualified to vote or not. The question
Is one Of fact to be determined by him"
This in brief means that In the opin-
ion Of Mr.. Townsend. the total num-
Der of names on the registration books
has nothing to do with the matter.
The supervisor Is supposed to leave
off all the dead names and base his
calculation only on one-fourth oil
those actually qualified to vote.
But no matter what view may be
taken Of the matter, the calling Of the
election is now practically assured for
in all the petitions contain over 1,SOC
names, considerably over one-fourth
of the total number of names on the
books, and more than half Of those
who usually vote in a primary election
Inasmuch also as those who signed
the petition at the same time pledged
themselves to vote mo dispensary,' II
would seem that all that Is necessary
to settle the question Is the holding OF
the election.

The Associated Press, says Ports
mouth dispatch, is able to announce
that the feature of the proposition of
President Roosevelt communicated
through Baron Rosen to Mr.. Witte
and transmitted by the latter to EN-
peror Nicholas was based upon the
principle of arbitration. Whether the
proposal contemplates arbitration Of
all the articles upon which the plen-
ipotentiaries have failed to agree or
only upon the question of indemnity
cannot be stated with postiveness.
but it is more than probable that it
relates only to indemnity and the ces-
sion Of Sakhalin. Neither is 1t posi-
BILE to say whether the president has
yet made a similar proposition to ia
pan. The customary diplomatic pro-
ceedings I'm such a case would be to
submit the proposal simultaneously to
both countries but there might be an
advantage in securing the adherence
of one before submitting it TO the 9TH
er To Emperor Nicholas. the author
suggestion of arbitration. which will
necessarily Immediately command the
sympathy of the world, will be partic-
ularly hard to reject. If he agrees.
Japan, If she has not already done so,
would be all the more bound to sub
NIT her claim to the decision of an
impartial arbitrator. Acceptance by
both sides would involve a great ex-
tension of the principle of arbitra-
ton as nations have heretofore de-
clined to arbitrate questions involving
their honor and dignity" Both MI.
Takahira and Mr.. Witte In the earlier
stages of the conference absolutely re-
jected the idea of arbitration and on
ly yesterday both reiterated their dis
belief i'm such solution. 1t was no
ticed. however that Mr.. Whites opin-
ion was not expressed as strongly as
il was last week. According to cur
rent gossip Baron Kaneko told the
president that Japan would yield upon
Articles 10 and IL. That Japan would

BRlCE LAW PETITION.

There has been some question as to
whether the supervisor, in complying
with the Brice law as to dispensary
removal elections should be governed
by the total number Of names on the
registration books, or those actually
known to be qualified voters, and Sen
ator Brice wrote last week to get an
opinion from the attorney general on
the subject. The reply is from Assist
ant Attorney General Townsend and
is as follows:

instant to the attorney general, who
| regret to say Is confined to the hos
pital with an attack of fever, | beg to
say that in my opinion the county su-
pervisor, in determining whether one
fourth of the qualified electors Of this
county have signed a petition for an
election upon the question Of the es-
tablshment or removal Of dispensaries
under the act Of 1904, must have refer
ence to and be governed by the actual
number of qualified voters In the coun-
ty and not necessarily by the apparent
number of electors whose names may
appear upon the registration book.
OF course, no one can be a qualified
elector unless his name does appear
upon the registration books, but many
names of persons appear upon such
books who are no longer qualified
