The Miner says every stud poker game save one in Bisbee was closed Friday night by order of Sheriff Stewart Hunt, who went there from Tombstone, ordering all proprietors of stud poker games to pay the license of $3O per month or close up, on pain of prosecution. AL though all of the layout games in Bisbee have been regularly taxed some of the poker games have been running without payment. Sheriff Hunt, however, has decided upon q strict enforcement of the law, and gave orders to the local authorities to promptly arrest any one running a stud game or any other gambling game without license.

LAND OF DESERTED CITIES
seistan Found by Mission to Be IN
known Desert Waste from
Boundary to Boundary.

Unique adventures and great
hardships were encountered by
the SeistaH mission, which, under
Col. A. II. Mcmahon and ten 9th
er British officers, has been en-
gagged in the work of demarcating
the boundary between Afghanis-
tan and Persia, in Seistan. A
large portion of the boundary lay
through absolutely w]aterless and
unknown desert, the remainder
being dense marsh, swamp and in
undated country. To fix this 200
miles occupied 1900 men for two
and a half years, at a cost of the
lives of 80 members of the mis-
sion. From end to end they found
Seistan to be a mass Ofruins. The
greater part of the deserted cit
les, they estimated, had not been
occupied for the past son years.
The work is said TO have been done
in spite of strong Russian oppo-
sitiOn, intrigue and miaropresen.
tation. 1t is believed that It's ac-
complishment win prove am i'm.
portaDt object lesson TO Persia
and a serious blow to Russian
prestige and influence.
Last winter, all the jackals, with
which Seistan abounds, for some
unknown cause went mad and at
tackled both men and animals. The
disease also spread to the wolves,
who worked great havoc. -Four
members Of the mission were bit.
ten, one Of whom died of hydro
phObia. One wild night in March
last while a blizzard was blowing
at a velocity of 120 miles an hour
a mad wolf attacked the camp of
the camel corps and bit rs camels
and one horse. Forty-eight of the
camels and the horse died of hy-
drophObia- On another occasion
a horde of mad wolves tried un.
successfully to rush the camp.
The Seistan natives themselves
were SO overcome by their terror
Of these mad animals that they
actually killed off all but a very
few of their dogs, on whom they
depend for safety and security al
night.
In Kohak the maximum sum
mer temperature was 119 in The
shade and on the road back along
the Nushi- Seistan route in May
and June last the temperature
rose to 100, as a result of which
one man and a large number Of
animals died. The mission sui
fered greatly from the terrible
winds of Seistan, especial
while under canvas. There is ont
wind in Seistan, which the ma
5 tives call the "120 days wind

summer this wind attains veloci

Remarkable Prison Delivery

Fight cunvicts escaped from the L.

Monday, about midnight, and the
circumstances attending the we'll exc.

How six solid walls could have been re-
duced to afford communication of those
in the plot and steel ceiling quarter
OF an inch thick, could have been cut
and bent so As to admit passage to
the roof while guard WAS pacing the
corridor, profts>edly with ears open
to catch any unusual sound, seem
very strange ana almost beyond belief,
unless the guard was in collision with
the prisoners Those who escaped
were, En-. Stickney, in for counterfeit
ing, term expiring in July, 1907; G.
ID. Castle, altering money order,
whose two years term would have
expired in October; James Leslie,
larceny, term expiring next month; ;
W. ID. McCarty, term ten years for
robbery, expiring 1910; J. II. Malone,
six years for rape, expiring 1908;
Matt Moore (Jap) five years for stab
bing, term would have ended in 1908 !;
X. Takcouchi Uap) 90 years for man
slaughter, term expiring in 1918, and
George Wade, in for five years for
larceny, term ending in 1908.
Wade is supposed to have been
leader of the gang. After emerging
on the roof they let themselves down
with strips from the blankets in their
cells. They were unable to operate
the prison launch, and placed it out of
service as means of pursuit by dis
abling the dynamo. They then EN-.
parked in two row.boats. The Jail
delivery WAS not discovered till six

The Peace Commission.

President Roosevelt announces from
Oyster Bay, the final move in pre-
liminary arrangements for the Peace
Commission. He gives out, by Secre-
tary Loeb, the information that both
Russia and Japan have notified him
that they favor a meeting of the COM
mission as early next month as pos
sible. Russia appoints Ambassador
Muravietf, formerly Minister OF JUS
tice and now Ambassador at Rome,
and Ambassador Rosen; Japan, Baron
kamurs, now Minister of Foreign AZ
fairs and Minister Tekahira. 1t may
be that each side will send one or
more additional representatives. The
com mission will be entrusted with full
power to negotiate and conclude a
treaty Of peace, subject of course, to
ratification by their respective gov
ernments.
There are quite a number of pre-
liminaries to be arranged before the
commission begins consideration OF
! the important matters that enter into
the negotiations. The first of these is
the place OF meeting, an important
matter during the heated term, and
Newport, Bar Harbor and Manchester,
the Massachusetts seaside resort, %
miles northeast of Boston, are all sug-
gested for selection by the commits
sion.
The Toxic government insists that
the representatives be clothed with
absolute power and that negotiations
be entered upon with full sincerity, the
"sick man." from the absence Of such
assurance, is supposed to be in per-
turbed condition that precludes calm
survey of results or prudence in pro.
viding for the future. Russia must
be made to feel, however, that any
breach of faith will result in turning
the civilized world against her. Baron

Probably no one realizes more fully
than President Roosevelt the los the
administration has sustained by the
death of John Hay, Secretary of State,
who died at 1925 Saturday morning,
! from pulmonary cmbolism, the clog
ging up OF respiration by foreign
substance incident to the disease. An
hour before his death he was resting
easily in quiet slumber. A few min
utes after midnight he called the
nurse who at once summoned Drs.
Scudder and Murphy, his physicians.
They found him breathing with diff
Guilty and in few minutes lie was
dead. Every promise had been given
by physical indications that he was in
fair way OF recovery, and the end
therefore came with fearful shock
to family. friends and the public.
This eminent man WAS born in
Salem, Ind, on the Sth day of October,
1888, and graduated at Brown Univer-
sity just twenty years later. He stud
led law in Springfield, H., and was

May 20, of the same year, he was ap-
pointed Secretary OF Legation to Aus
ria.Hungary, where he acted as
Charge d'Aflairs until August12, 1868.
He was appointed Secretary OF Lega-
ton to Spain, June %, 1869, and re.
tired October l, 1870, to become an
editorial writer on the New York Tri-
bune, in which position he remained
five years, during seven months OF
which he was editor-in chief.
In 1875 Mr. Hay removed to Cleve-
land and took an active part in the
Presidential canvasses of 1876, 1850,
and 1854. and was appointed Secretary
OF State November /, 1879, from which
position he retired May 3, 1881. In
that year he represented the United
States at the International Sanitary
Congress in Washington, OF which
he WAS President. March II, 1897, he
was appointed Ambassador Extraor-
binary and Plonipotentiary TO Great
Britain, retiring September 10, 1898,
to assume the duties of Secretary Of
State.

mat. He published pike County
