New bitches Also Affected.

There has been some objection
offered to our statement Of last
week in regard to the prohibitive
ruling of the department of the
Interior in relation to reservoirs
and reservoir sites within the wat
er shed of the Rio Grand river in
Colorado, when we stated that the
ruling in no way affected irrigating
bitches or canals. 1t seems that
we should have stated that the rul-
ing also applies TO any and all ir-
rigating bitches and canals not yet
having had their titles adjudicated
But this ruling does not in any
way affect the present priorities
or the water rights properly adju-
dicated heretofore as is so emphat-
ically stated in the resolutions
adopted by the Alamosa mass
meeting. In the course of IA week
or so The Chronicle will publish
an authentic opinion upon this
question III order that our readers
may be thoroughly acquainted with
the facts.

damages for the careless killing of
Will j. Mcdaniel last spring. In
asmuch as the reservoir company
demanded that Contractor f. G.
Blake insure all of his employees
and charged the premiums of said
insurance up to his account, it
seems unreasonable to allow the
insurance company to avoid pay
ment upon the fimsy claim that
they were not officially notified

will doubtless have the desired eff
feet of making them go after the

Concentration of control in the army is being sought. That which made the Chinese troops a laughing stock was not lack of bravery nor inferior intel Bgence and efficiency. but feeble lead ership and lack of unity. When the plans for centralizing army organiza- tiOn and control are completed he ex- poets China to have an army that will become truly formidable. Young men are being drafted into public service. those with foreign training getting po- sition and influence corresponding with their superior fitness. This progress. which has but just begun, is due to the shaking up the empire has received of late and the forced knowledge it has obtained Of western superiority.
 Professor Jenks does not believe that the most intelligent Chinaman prefers western civilization, or religion, or hab- 1 its. He despises them, in a way. But he recognizes the necessity, if he is to resist or compete with them, of having as much of the practical knowledge of the West as is essential for this pur- pose. They are willing only ''to adopt
 western methods so far as they con- tribute directly to their power of re- sistance to western aggression" He closes with the statement that the Chi inese are not aggressive. and when the nations great strength has been or
 ganized it will be willing to do justice
 to those who treat it justly in return.

MAGGIEs END.

Loiterers on the Lombard street wharf Thursday noon witnessed what was unquestionabIy the deliberate sui eide of dog. Earlier in the day, while some mulss were being loaded into the steamship Nebraska, the dog, a small, black, homeless creature answering to the name of Maggie. had been vicious y kicked and seemed for a Ong time crazed by her suffering. Running wid- y from one dock to another, she had sought familiar faces and begged mute ly for help. Finding that none could relieve her agony, she took the only avenue of escape and made straight for the water. Hock Clerk George Brick son. a sweeper named John Maher, and several fishermen saw her take the fa- tai plunge and they helped lower a boat, which went to her rescue.
 But the unfortunate little creature seemed to divine their purpose, and bit the hands extended to save her. Even when lifted into the boat she struggled to be free, and finally got back into the water. Several unsuccessful attempts were made to reach her again, as Mag gfe had become something of a pet about the. water front, where she picked up her precarious living, but she kept out of reach, eviGes.tiiy deter mined on self-destruction.
 It was just of the Lombard street

THE LAW OF THE STRIKE.

This is the law of a strike. A negro seeking work, human being willing to work, entered one of the barns of the Employers Teaming company to- day. His name was Brown. He had no concern with the strike or it's issues. He desired work. He made appliea- tion, gave his name and address, and left, pending notice thai his services would be required. In all that he did he was an American citizen anxious to earn fair day's wages. Strike pfckets learned the purpose of his call. As he went away he was followed by several of them and crowd of other men. Vile ep.thets rang in his ears. He was struck in the face, and the blood ran from his wounds. He screamed for help. but help did not come, for he was surrounded. Blows rained upon his head. He fell to the ground, and then heavy boots drove themselves into his sides and stomach. lille moaned and plead i for marcy, but of mercy there was noEa. When he became uncen- scious, the brutes piled upon him drew
