The Presidential Aonae

during principles of human rights-had
they, in effect, called for democratic gov
ernment-it Is none too much TO say that
Chinese Gordon and General Ward
would have avallcd naught In the ex-
preston OF the popular will. even though
the Manchu forces under their command
had been increased a hundredfold.
In the fall Of 1911, when the revolu-
tionary armies in the Yang-Tse valley
and elsewhere abandoned the merely To-
cal mutiny for the redress Of grievances
and raised the standard Of republicanism
as against monarchism. China had found

sovereignty spread like wild prairie fire
The eighteen mutually jealous provinces
under the Nanchu regime now ceased
to be divided. They Joined forces for

series Of independent states was prompt
ly thrown overheard and the people OF
all China eagerly and without coercion
fell in line, first to Dust the Manchu.
then to establish representative govern
ment.
The CALL OF DEMOCRACY.
How in the face Of strong provincial
politics and prejudices this sudden con-
centration OF arms was possible is alb
solutely inexplicable except upon the
one theory-and that was nothing short
OF a miracle for people so heterogene-
Gus in dialects and sectional traditions
that the people Of China had spoken loud
and Enthusiastically in favor OF the demo-
cratic principle of government. Besides
the germ Of republicanism, long. ago
communicated by American merchants
and missionaries and the Chinese stu
dents educated In American institutions
OF learning, had already universally in
fected the people, and as the years
passed the symptoms OF wider con-
seriousness Of popular rights developed
into a veritable contagious disease for
national freedom and enfranchisement
How in the face Of such a preponder-
nnce Of conclusive evidence European
who had lived and been employed in
China for twenty-five years can affect
to say that the Chinese Republic is not
even recognized by its creators is be-
yond credibility The natural inference
from the expression Is tnat III ls eltnei
the fantastic imagery Of gross mlsinfor-
nation or calculated misrepresentation Of
tie facts.
We are told that Mr.. Bland was pat
ented a mandarin b. the late Emperor
Kwang Hsu and that he advocates the
establishment in China of a constitu-
tional monarchy. He says that President
Yuan Shih-Kai attempted to enforce a
monarchy upon the Chinese people and
instances support for the idea by the
daily increase In numbers of the associa-
ton known as the Pao Huang Hui. or
Monarchy League. under the leadership
of Kang Yu-Wei and Liang Chi-Chao.'
The difficulty with these several ipse
dixit assertions is that, In the first place.
the alleged royalist movement Is barred
not only by vox populi OF China, but by
Yuan Shih-kai himself. 1t is known that
even before Yuan was recalled by the tot
tering Manchus to save the monarchy he
was in secret communication with Sun
Yat-Sen, Offering his support. Secondly,

that the two conspirators should be eX-
ecutcd In Picking. Undeniable evidence
sent TO the President justified the head
of the government In commanding the
police TO arrest and execute them, aad

Even in Picking the two men were
plotting against the government. The
case was investigated by their political
associates ia and out of the National
Assembly, but upon the production OF
the evidence all were satisfied with the
Justice alike OF the sentence and the
execution. They were not enemies OF
Yuan Shih-Kai. as Mr.. Bland asserts;
they were enemies OF the republic and
the forfeiture OF their lives was ordered

power vested In him by the constitution

THE VALUE OF SENSATiONAlISM.

the immlnence OF evil strife in China. The
epidemic spread through all England AMI
the Continent and apparently affected

The summer and likewise the fall passed.
the prophecy OF internal disorder was
exploded, no war came. and the republic
is more firmly established in the hearts
OF the people.

Of their liberties and opportunities to-

REPORTS OF CHAOS AND RUIN.

Within the last few months certain in
spired rumors in the European press nave
aroused some speculation as to the dura-
bility Of the Chinese Republic, ana rev
American journals have, perhaps inno-
Gently. circulated the stories. But all the
IRRESPONSIBLE reports Of chaos and ruin In
China seem to have been collected in sew
eral lectures and In two interviews OF one

recently. We are not sure for whom Mr..
Bland holds his brief. but II can safely be
said that his observations are hardly made
I'm the interest of truth. II is advertised
that Mr.. BANDS loan negotiations, his
twenty-five years residence in China and
several books (of doubtful merit "espe-
cially qualify" him TO dissuade the warm
hearted but also clear-headed American
people from recognizing and befriending
sister republic.
AS a general proposition Mr.. Bland as
serts that the Chinese government is not
republican. but an autocracy masquerade
ing under the name of republic, and
that. therefore. these United States ought
, altogether TO refuse TO recognize IL, or
should proceed very cautiously.
Without considering the premises of
that proposition now, let us examine the
conclusion.
Evidently he does not understand the
real purport of recognition. The question
of the recognition of new government
arises SO infrequently that the ordinary
reader wonders why recognition is neces-
sary at all. 1t is not. 1t is an act de-
fined by the usages Of International law.
which knows of two, and only two. kinds
OF recognition, one of belligerency, the
other of independence. There are no hos
tilities in China; consequently the ques-
tion, of recognition of belligerency does
not arise.

RECOGNITION OF INDEPENDENCE

There remains to be considered the rec
IGNITION Of independence.
independence is fact, not susceptible
of honest difference of opinion. and
China's independence has never been
questioned Why, then, no recognition? 1t
Is suggested that China has only pro-
v.sional government and that, therefore,
IL is contrary TO diplomatic precedent to
recognize it. but we submit that the law
Of nations does not so qualify the rule.
Recognition OF a new government is the
recognition of its status as an indepen-
dent entity. and the test of Its recogniza-
bility is not its political, structural or
provisional character; but the only test
prescribed by the law OF nations Is wheth-
er that new government has shown itself
capable OF assuming the responsibility and
discharging the international obligations

When Weaver became aware he had been victimized, he notified the sheriffs office and to gether with Sheriff Keeler, struck out upon the traf1.

ANOTHER MINE TO BE

He was joined in the city by NJ. \. An drews, the superintendent, and both leave for the camp today.
 A reorganization and a re-adjust- ment of company affairs have been consummated in recent months, and considerable exploration was given early last summer to ascertain ab- solute conditions to depth, which proved highly satisfactorily.
 The property is said to merit the of capital, and the pur- pose is to resume on a permanent basis early in January. Accommoda- tions on the ground are ready for quite large force, and machinery for deep development has been in stalled, with a stamp mill to treat the output.

WATER SYSTEM RIVALS
 GREAT CANAL.
(From Thursdays Daily.)

NEW YORK, Nov 26.-It IS now announced that New York's new great water system, which al- most rivals the Panama canal in size and cost, will be completed in two years. It is by all odds the biggest water system in the world and will cost, it is believed, far. in excess of the $2OO,OO0OO0 already appropriated.
 Incidentally, the fact has been brought to light that this city has what is probably the largest sub terranean population in the world. There are now employed underneath Manhattan Borough 25,0O0 men, carving out, cementing and other wise making ready the tunnels through which the city will receive 770,OO0.000 gallons of water daily. These tunnels are from POO to 500 feet below surface and arc carved out of solid rock, which will be lined with a l-l2 foot thickness of concrete, thus avoiding the deterior- ation that is characteristic of iron pipe. These operations extend all the way from the Ashokan reservoir to Staten Island, q distance of l27 miles. There are % miles of aqueduct north of the city's bounds. The four drainage areas from which the supply will be drawn aggregate 9G0 square miles.
 Incidental to this stupcndous un- dertaking seven towns arc wiped out, causing the removal of thousands of people; over 2,SOO bodies in B cemeteries have been reinterred in new sites; 64 miles of highway dis continued and 40 miles of new highway constructed: II bridges built; 1 miles of railroad relocated; :; l5,222 acres Of land acquired; g. 936,6O0 cubic yards of earth and rock excavated; 8,O6o,0OO cubic yards of embankmcnt and 984,000 cubic yards of masonry placed; and L. lS7,O00 barrels of cement used. This new system is designed to supply the entire population of Greater New York and provides for the growth of the city to twice its present population.

SPENDS MILLIONS FOR
 FINE HOUSE ENVIRONMENT
(From Fridays Daily.)

PASADENA, Nov. H.-Henry E. Huntington of this city is probably the first man who ever bought a million dollar hotel and then spent another million and half of it, just to have the environment of his home in keeping with his ideas of an ideal community.
 Several years ago when Mir. Hunt ington, nephew of Collis F. Hunt ington, one of the Southern Pacific builders, and himself noted railway inancier. practically retired from ac tive business life to enjoy his irI- mensc fortune. he laid out the most magnificent suburban home in South ern California, in the exclusive Oak Knoll millionaire colony, whicl, he himself founded. Shortly after this General M l.. Wentworth organ ized a compny to build a hotel over looking the entire San Gabriel valley, with its fine villas and orange groves. General Wentworth succeeded in building an imposing structure, but the company found that unforeseen incidentals had eaten up so much capital that it had nothing left 10 put the project ill actual operation Mortgaged to the hilt. it stood va cant, q white elephant for several years, more than a million dollars tied up and lying idle in this most picturesque spot in all the South west.

kFrom hursday Daily.) Quite the most important meet ing ever held by the Northern Ari- .ona Fair Association was that of last night, when permanent quar-
 CTS for the holding of annual fairs

 were provided for.
 Frank Whisman, chairman of the grounds committee, was, upon mo
 lion of LeRoy Anderson, seconded 5y Ed w. Wells, requested to con clude arrangements with John

The com mittee was instructed to use its best judgment as to payments and terms. It was suggested to the committee that the association was favorable to a cash payment of not more than $l,0OO, balance to be paid at the convenience of the associa- ton, with seven per cent as the rate of interest.

RAINS CAUSE A STAM-
 PEDE TO OAK CREEK
(From Thursdays Daily.)

Oak creek, situated between Wal nut Grove and the Crown Point mine, is again the scene of a big movement among placer mining peo pie to secure locations, and accord ing to a statement made yesterday by Thomas Campbell, the well-known pioneer resident, the rush is equal to that of 1892.
 The reason for this excitement is due to the heavy rains of the past two weeks, from which water is abundant to, carry on banning and rocking, and in some instances, sluicing. Two outfits are loading up in Prescott, and their destination also is that field, both leaving to- day. Oak creek, for many years was extensively mined for placer gold, and when it first came into prominence, over twenty years ago, yielded handsomely The gold is coarse and lies at various depths, not exceeding five feet The largest nugget recovered was that by Mir. Calkins, which weighed $50. The scarcity of water for the past ten years left the creek without a single miner to carry on the pursuit, but with the return of the rainy season at an unexpected time. the industry is to be revived and the field active ly worked. Mir. Campbell state, that farmers in Walnut Grove were compelled 10 abandon field work for over ten days, on account of the severity of the rains, which equallcd those of the summer sea son.
