Friction With Cur-on.

Friction With Curcon.
The friction was renewed on the question
OF replacing the military member of the
council by official who was to lie called
the military supply member. General
Ellos. the last military member of the
council, was at the end of his career and
resigned. His Office was abolished for the
one just mentioned. Curzon, although OBJ
jecting. accepted the newly instituted office
and strongly recommended for the first
holder of the job certain General Barrow.
The appointment, of course, rests ex-
clusiVely with the secretary of state COR
India. Barrow, when he was recommended
by cable by the viceroy, his way TO
England on leave of absence. After he
had been interviewed by the home authori
ties they rejected the yiceroy's request for
his appointment
Curzon persisted, and on August 5 intl-
mated that II his recommendation was not
accepted he would resign. Premier Balfour
interviewed. pointing out to CurZon that the
duty of advising the crown as to the choice
of members of the council rested solely with
the secretary of state. saying:
Balfour Resented Curzon's Interference
mo greater violation of the constitution
can well be imagined than that this duty
should degenerate into a merely formal
submission to his majesty of the views
and recommendation of the viceroys.'
Mr. Bafour then proceeded to point out
the fact that as Barrow had no great liking
for the new system which he would have
to administer, his appointment wouldn't
tend to Its smooth working.
This was on August g. but after a further
exchange of kilograms the viceroy resigned
in the words quoted earlier in this dis
patch. at the same time acknowledging the
governments correctness in regard to the

instances will suffice:

Prescott Chinese Must Pay Taxes

If Lee Ling had paid his school tax and had told Deputy Assessors Raible and Farley the names of three China men employed by him he would have avoided arrest and conviction yester- day for a misdemeanor, which was followed by fine of Sl5.
 The minions from Assessor D. J. Sullivan's office called at Sing wash house on Goodwin street, between Cortez and Nontezuma streets. yester- day afternoon about o'clock to col feet the school taxes. Sing offered to pay his but refused to give the names of three chinks employed by him.
 Sing told the officials that hIs hired men were buns, who had just dropped in and were working for enough mon ey to take them out of town. He had never seen them before, and did not know their names. The deputy asses sors conferred and Raible suggested that they begin to enforce a law that has been pretty much of a dead letter on the statute books of Arizona. Their
