A VICTORY FOR THE MILITARY CON-
MII1EE


WASHINGTON, Aug. s.-For the moment
the house committee on military affairs
has gained the victory in the contest on the
subject of appropriations for Notifications
over the appropriations committee. Mr..
Townshend, OF the committe ON military
affairs, who has favored substantially the
plan proposed by the senate in its amend
ments to the army appropriation bill,
and has opposed the plan of the
appropriations committee rs set
forth in the Notifications BILL has been
appointed by Speaker Carlisle, chairman
OF the committee of conference. This
would seem to insure an acceptance by the
house conferees of the senate plan. The
struggle in the house in that event will
be resumed when the report of the con-
ference committee shall be made The
designation of Mr.. Townshend by the
speaker is the first striking recognition of
the new division of duty in the house.
which was made when the committees
were reorganized and the appropriations

which it had SO long exercised, of report

REcLAIMINe THE DESERT LANDS.

ed that the house refuse to concur in the
senate amendment to the sundry civil bill
making an appropriation Of S50, 900 to en-
allie the directors of the geological survey
to inquire iuto the feasibility of construct
ing storage reservoir for the irrigation of
desert lands. The resident of many states
and territories in the west are so much in
terested in securing the reclamation of
these lands that in all likelihood the press
ure Will be too great for the committee and
the amendment will probably be adopted
this dry land, if irrigated, proves to be
the best soil in this country, large quanti-
ties have been taken up by Spectators,
and to head these people off the commits
sloner of the general land office recon-
mended the repeal of the desert land law.
AS this law makes irrigation and reclama-
ton condition of securing the land. re-
peal OF the law would stop reclamation
and make it necessary for the government
to enter the field As it is, the cost of
securing water for irrigation is so
great that a single individual cannot
afford to put in the plant for the mere re-
cIamatlon of his own section. As result
the land frequently comes into the hands
OF large companies which control the water
supply. To avert this it seems that the
government will be compelled to take pos
session OF the water supply, and after re-
claiming the lands. sell them at fair price
to settlers The money appropriated by
the clause simply supplies Information as
to the cost and feasibility of the plan.

A Wealthy Woman,
Philadelphia Record.


 Miss Mary Garrett to-day, although few persons know it, controls and manages the Garrst interest Tn the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and has for seme tune been the most potential factor Tn the manipulation of the in- terests of that great corporation. She is thoroughly acquainted with all the details of the business Of the road and its financial status, and has always been looked upon as one of it's most sagacious advisers.
 Although personally directing tue management of property worth not less than S20,000,000 Miss Garrct is al. most unknown to business men, be- cause her fine sense of modesty and trus womanly reserve will not permit her to assume an individual and per sonal control which both her capacity fer financial affairs and her direct con. trol of millions of money would ena- ble her io do.
 There Is TO woman in the United States who can command more ready cash than Miss Garrett. Her knowl- sdge of the road and its management gives her position in the councils ot
 
 that corporation not possessed by any other individual. When her father was living Miss Garrett was his pri- yate secretary, his bsst adviser and his most trusted friend, even above any ot the old gentlsman's sons. It was in this capacity that she obtained her knowledge of the read and her insight into it's financial affairs. Al ter the death of her father Miss Gar rett's influence over her brother, Rob- ert Garrst, was so marked that it be- came matter of current talk in Bal timoro. But there were certain theo. ries held by her brother which even the influence which she held over him could not successfully combat. When the schemes which led 10 the inYoea- ton of the aid of tho Drexel syndicate culminated, Robert Garrett saw the wisdom of his sisters counsels, which he had failed to follow, and practical ly surrendered to her the management of his interest in the road When he started on his tour around the world his sister followed and overlook him at San Francisco, where he was ln- duced te give to her tue control of all of hls interests in the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company.
 Recently, when the syndicate which had helped the Baltimore and Ohio out of tho difficulties in which it had un. wittingly been plunged began to hag- gle about the commissions and threat ened to place the read in an embar- rassing position, Miss Garrett quietly brushed them all aside, put up the needed cash, and saved the credit el the company Since the recent death of her brother, T. Harrison Garrett Miss Mary Garrett's control of the Garrett estate has become practically unlimited during Robert Garrett's ab sence.
