play caused his absence. But as in

What the English Press Says,

LONDON, Oct 29.-The Pail Mall
Gazette, writing about the Sackville
incident, expresses the opinion that
the excitement caused by the letter
in America is largely stimulated for
political effect. 1t regrets that Amer
leans are not superior to such out
bursts of feeling except for the chance
of catching the Irish vote by abusing
England. 1t thinks that no one in
America Xould care two straws what
Lord Sackville wrote, thought OF
said.
The Globe holds that the most salts
factory announcement of the incident
would be to send instructions to Lord
Sackville to keep his opinions to him
self while at Washington. American
election tactics in its opinion are out
side the notice of any foreign power.
The st. James Gazette maintains
that Lord Sackville cannot remain at
Washington. 1t says he should have
known better than to walk into net
spread before his eyes.

Project to Dam the Rio arAuds.

Ell PAso, Tex, Oct. 29.-WOrd has
been received from Washington that
the director of the geological survey is
of the opinion that the recently con-
ceived plan of constructing an immense
dam across the Rio Grande at or near
FL Paso is perfectly practicable, but 1t
Is thought that the question OF con-
fiictlng water rights must first be set
tied by the enactment of a law by con-
gress. He has decided to establish a
station just above FL Paso, to measure
the annual flow of water and the per
cent of future carried. He hopes to
have the station established by JAN
uRry Ist. The chief purposes of the
dam would be to irrigate the valley for
about fifty miles and furnish motive
power; to prevent destructive floods
below here, and to settle the Mexican
boundary question by keeping the river
in its proper channel. 1t is proposed
to make the dam an international af-
fair. Major Ernest of the corps OF
government engineers stationed al
Galveston, has been detailed to take q
party and make an examination of the
Rio Grande from Embudo, 500 miles
north of FL Paso, to FL PaSo.

made to have rene gade redskins taken
