LINING IIP FOR A BIG FIGHT The Japanese as Usual As same the Offensive and Hove to the Front. Russians Commend the Japanese Methods in Preserving Sacred Property on the Battlefield A Stray Torpedo Boat at Chefoo. Mukden, Nov. 15 The Mancburian army paper Vestnik, published under the sanction of the Russian officials, and the only newspaper printed at the theatre of war, gives the details of the scrupulous care that is shown by the Japanese for relics and other effects of tho Russian dead found on battle field, and tells how the Japanese have forwarded such effects to St. Peters burg. Tho paper highly commends his action. The paper annoucnes that General Kuropatkin recommends that all of his commanders shall observe a similar practice regarding the Japanese dead. This humane practice, which was initiated by the Japanese, and which is calculated to secure consider ation for their dead, has met with ap plause from the Russian army and will undoubtedly be imitated whenever the Russian is in possession of the field over which tho battle has been fought. 'Owing to the fact that the Japanese have been left in possession of nearly all battlefields, these humane and benevolent offices have entirely devolved upon them.

The following resolutions wero adopted by the Bar association of northern Arizona, at a meeting held at Prescott, Arizona, November 15, 1904, in reference to the death uf Judge W. H. Barnes: Whereas, Tho Bar of Arizona, in the death of Hon. William II. Barnes of Tucson, has lost one of its oldest, ab lest, and most respected members, whoso acute and penterating mind, and ready and effective use of an extensive knowledge, gleaned from a study of the law and of almost every branch of literature and of human learning, es- pecially fitted him for the notable work he did as a amember of tlm su preme bench of the territory, to which he was called in the prime of bis man hood; and whose intensity and force of utterance, added to his other qual ities, gave him a professional distinc tion altogether unique, and Whereas, the older members of this association can vividly recall his strik ing face, bis grace and charm of con versation, and the varions elements of personality which, though felt, can not be desoribed, but which made him at'all times and places and in ereiy assemblage a commanding figure among men. Now, thereofre, be it resolved: 1. That the members of the Bar As sociation of northern Arizona do hare by attest our sense of profound regret ana sorrow tnac tne ranks or our profession, through the termination of the earthly career of William H. iiarnes, have been depleted of one of its honored and most distinguished members. 2. That we tender our sympathy to the widow and family of the deceased, and that the secretary be requested to send to them a copy of these resolu- tions. Riohard E. Sloan, J. C. Herndon, Reese M.

San Francicso, Cilir , Nov. 15 Tea second days' session of the American Federation of Labor was abruptly con cluded shortly after the afternoon session was called to order today. A change in the program was necessitat ed by a flood of resolutions which poured in when Gompers j called for the documents. In the space of half an hour, sixty one were handed to Se cretary Morrison.

Union Mining Enterprises. Other Machinery En Route Opinion of a Gentleman of Authority on the Property Practical Mining and What it Demonstrates Again. A noteworthy movement in mining in this section is that signalized in the arrival of two up to date mills of the Huntington type for the Mt. Un ion Consolidated Mining company, operating near Prescott. These mills reached this city Saturday and will be transported to the properties at once. Each mill has a capacity of forty five tons, and in addition to this ' shipment received two more car loads uf maohinery are also en route and will reach their destination in a few days hence. It is expected that by the middle of December the reduction of ores from this company's interests will be inaugurated, and to that end Superintendent Greenwood will rush the plant to completion as fast as possible. Attending the introduction of this machinery the mine work that war rants this heavy outlay in mechanical utilities, has terminated in a hand some showing oh the' properties, and to support the heavy consumntion of ore the capacity of these plants show, there are several thousands of tons of ore ready for reduction on the ground, a guarantee that tho enterprise can be stated to be a success before it is practically demonstrated in this con nection. In addition to this feature of the past operations of this enter prise, the earnest and practical man ner in which this property has been handled, the rating of the ground of this company is ranked as among the best in this county. In less than nine months of operations Mr. Greenwood has sunk the main shatf to a depth of 500 feet, along with other development, all of which reflects on not only his capability as a miner, but alos does it demonstrates that where good judg ment is linked with economical meth ods mining would prosper more mater ially if conducted on this principle generally speaking. Recently the mines of this company were inspected by H. A. Coben, of the DeLamar company, and although this gentleman was in no way identified with them, bo made the statement vol untarily to the public that in his duties of visiting properties in this territory, he was free to form impres sions, and would accordingly make the statement that considering develop ment to date, he rronounoed the in terests of the ML Union people as among the most desirable to be seen in this territory. Such a tribute to this property and from such an author ity, is in itself gratifying not only to the property, but likewise to the management of Mr. Greenwood. It is truly remarkable that a mine should bo developed and placed in a channel of handling its own product in the short space of nine months, with a guarantee of success behind it, but such is nevertheless, the case, and it will bo proven to be also one of the best mining propositions in this coun ty or in the territory. ISKULKS IN TO SURRENDER Another Russian Torpedo Boat Gets Caught in a Trap and Wiil go Out of Business. By Associated Press. Chefoo, Nov. 1C, 7:15 a. m. A Rus sian torpedo boat destroyer has just j entered the harbor. She has not been j communicated with yet gowing to the roughness of the sea. It is reported a Japanese torpedo boat destroyor was seen ouc 'do watching the movements of the Russiun vessel. The Russian torptdo boat destroyer Ratstoropony put into the harbor this morning. Firing was heard half an hour before she entered the harbor. A snowstorm and high wind was prevail ing at the time and it is believed the Russian vessel under cover of the storm attempted to escape from Port Arthur. A correspondent of the asso ciated press succeeded in reaching the Destroyer after her arrival here but was not allowed to board her. Tho captain of the Chinese cruiser was the first person to board Ratstoropony. He held a brief conference with the commander after which the Ratstoro pony came further into the stream and anchored athe same spot the Ryeshi- telnl did last August before she was cut out by the Japanese. There is every evidence that the Ratstoropony will disarm here, only as a last resort. It is thought she hopes to elude the Japanese destroyer, reported outside the harbor at night. The Ratstoropony brought a number of copies of the Novakrai, a Port Arthur newspaper. In one of its issues it is stated that while a Japanese destroyer was laying mines, November 11th, she was sur prised by the battleship Retvizan and sunk.
