IRRIGATION.

Senator Stewart has introduced the
following resolution:
That the Secretary of the Interior be
requested to inform the Senate, if, in his
opinion, it is desirable to authorize the
organization in his department. known as
the Geological Survey, to seggregate the
lands of the public domain capable of ir-
rigation in those sections of the United
States where irrigation is required, from
other lands, and to lay out suitable places
to be reserved for reservations and rights
of way for bitches and canals for the pur.
poses of irrigation.
1t is stated that the Senator consulted
Secretary Villas on the subject embraced
in the resolution before he introduced it,,
and had assurances that his reply would
be favorable. Large appropriations are
made at every session of Congress for the
Geological Survey, and if the work o.
that survey, so far, has been of any prac.
teal benefit to the public. the people are
not aware of it. If, as the resolution
contemplates, part of the time of the
survey can be directed to ascertaining
what part of the public domain in Nevada
and other arid regions is capable of being
irrigated, and where, and to what extent,
water can be stored for irrigating pur-
poses, substantial results may be derived
from its labors. At any rate it will lay
the foundation for a system of irrigation
that at some not very distant time will
transform the sagebrush plains of many
sections of Nevada into fields of waving
grain or green alfalfa meadows.

Representative Townsend, of Illinois,
has introduced bill to permit farmers
and producers of tobacco to sell leaf to-
bacco in any quntity to unlicensed dealers
or to any person, without restriction, and
70 repeal all laws in conflict with this
provision.
This virtually means a repeal of the
internal revenue tax on tobacco which
was levied as war measure with the
understandingthat it should be abolished
as soon as the financial condition of the
national treasury would warrant it. To-
baeco is product of American soil, yet
the farmer who produces it is prohibited
ander heavy penalties from disposing of
his crop to any person save licensed
purchaser Tor in the presence of Gov
eminent official. He is not even allowed
to give it away, and the quantity which
he may give those employed in producing
the crop is prescribed by law.
That the tax andIrestrictons ought to
be abolished admits of no dispute, now
That the National Treasury is overflow
ing with money, and any proposition to
reduce the revenue that does not repeal
the tax on tobacco does not seem salts
factory to majority of the people.

1t storms in the states,

Boston, Jan. 26-Reports this morn
ing from various points in Maine, New
Hampshire and Vermont state that the
heaviest unowstorm for years prevailed
all night, and in many places il is still
showing. The snowfall is from thlsteen
to eighteen inches, and travel is greatly
%impeded. Many trains are entirely sua.
pended and the highways are practically
impossible. Biddeford, Me-, re-
ports the roads everywhere block
AIDED, and up to IL O'Clock to-day
no trains had passed there Oyer either
division OF she Boston and Maine rail-
road. The morning express, which left
Portland ct 7;30, is showed in near Old
Orchard. Help hes been telegraphed
for, and engines and snowplows have
been sent from Portland.
All trains from the north and east are
from an hour to six hours late, and on
many roads all freight trains have been
abandoned. AT Old Orchard a snow.
pillow with three engines is fast in the
snowbank and almost hidden from sight,
The snow is light and drifts badly and
the wind is high. About two feet oi
of snow has already fallen, and still
there are no signs Of q let up. 1t 10 the
worst storm in thirty five years.

The Victoria Irine Herror.

Wellington, B, o., Jan, 20, via Vic.
soria. Jan. 26-An exploring party in the
Dunsmuir colleries worked all Tuesday
night. A number of bodies of whites
and Chinese were located in the east
SLOPE, but it vas not until this (Wednes-
day afternoon that the work OF bring
ing the bodies to the surface was be-
gun. In about an hour the bodies OF
seven whites and eight Chinese had
been raised to the surface. All were
terribly mangled and blaokened beyond
recognition, and the only means of
knowing them were by the
locations where found. Tie
report in circulation that many
more than first supposed were killed is,
happily, untrue. Every individual in
the east slope, where the explosion oc-
CURED, was killed. Those in the ges.
slope were badly shaken up by the CON
cusslon, and had 1t not been for the
presence OF mind exhibited above, in
Immediately repairing the cir fans,
many would undoubtedly hsve been suf-
focated by after.dsmp.
The resistance force OF the explosion
is shown by the manner in which the
eight-inch pipes were snapped and
heavy simbers reduced to splintera. One
of the heavy iron cages was blown eon-
pletely out of the shaft. At 8 O'clock
tonight Wednesday, eighteen white
men and twenty-five Chinese had been
taken out of the pit, while seven more
bodies had been found in the slope
There remained at that hour thirteen
whites and n%ineteen Chinese in the
mine, a correct estimate of the casual
ties shows that thirty.one white mon
aud forty-one Chinese persisted in the
east slope.
The officials of the eolliery company
have done every thing in their power to
hasten the removal OF the bodies in the
mine, and SEQ that they are properly
cared for. Such miners az belonged to
the masons or other societies have been
taken charge Of by their brethren, while
the other bodies were taken to their
homes. All the oollieries have been
closed since the accident occurred.
