California, is in Ell Paso, whence he will 90
to Washington on business connected with
big irrigation project in southern Lower
California. He says he has Just completed
surveys OF an immense irrigating canal,
which leaves the Colorado river a short dis
tance below Yuma, on the west side of the
river. crosses the Mexican boundary line
into Lower California, thence back north
into the great Colorado Desert, large por-
tIon of which IS at no great elevation above
the sea level, and is in fact, in some parts,
below it. There would be unlimited posi-
billties of reclaiming this princely do
main, heretofore looked on as the
most hopeless desert surface in the
world. There is no lack of water
in the lower Colorado river. No amount
taken out of it could work an injury to
those sections where settlers are already
living and have vested riparian rights.
BY diyerting large body of water in the
Colorado desert, it is thought, besides re-
claiming all the irrigable lands lying above
the sea level, a series of large ponds or
lakes could be formed, which might in due
process of time exert an appreciable in
fuence upon the climate of that section OF
the country, at present not only the driest.
but the hottest on the face of the globe, and
having a higher average temperature than
that little known but greatly misunder-
stood desert of Sahara. General Shanklin
says no great engineering difficulties are in
the way of this enterprise, which when
once finished Will be the greatest irrigating
undertaking in the whole world.

CRY OF MEXICO, January 19th.-Public
indignation has been aroused in the State
of Pueblo over the assassination, within
four months, in remote parts of the State,
Of several Free Masons, whose political and
religious ideas were repugnant to the fanali-
cal clericals. The Free Masons throughout
the Republicsupport the reelection OF Gen.
Diaz, and this fact partly explains such
acts as those which have shocked the re-
spectacle and law-abiding citizens of
Pueblo. The clericals in the district men,
toned have declared they would kill every
Free Mason. 1t is probable the criminals
will be severely punished.
1t is reported that a monster petition
against allowing ball fights in the Federal
district will shortly be presented to the
Govern ment. There is strong sentiment
here against these spsctacles, and many of
the daily papers attack them as barbarous.
In spite of all this, the fights are attended
by people from the first ranks as we'll as by
the masses.
