~ LETTER.

this territory. The letter is as follows:
| have the honor to submit some state
ments as to the principles which should
control the constitutional provisions affect
ing irrigation,
First. Water is a public commodity
which should only be utilized and segro-
gated by individuals in order that the pub
lie may be benefited thereby. To accom-
plish this it should be under the control
OF the state.
Second. In providing for its appropria-
ton and use by private parties, regard
should be had for tho natural conditions
and resources Of the state. These condi
tons differ widely in different localities,
and laws which are satisfactory in Cali
fornia or Arizona may prove n failure in
Wyoming, because unsuited to the physl-
cal peculiarities or requirements Of this
region. We should study our own needs
and possibilities, and so frame our irriga
ton code as to best secure the protection
and development Of the various interests
concerned. To do this original legislation
will be required.

Especial TO THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. dispatch
New YORK, May ga Washing
ton special to the Brooklyn Eagle
says it learned on undeniable author
ity that there was grand row in yester-
days cabinet meeting. Three cabinet Of
ficers rendered the President their resigna-
-tion, to take effect at once, IL certain
changes are not made. Blaine started the
figh thy delivering point blank to the Pres
ident an ultimatum that if he were not per-
mitted some latitude in the conduct of the
state department he must positively decline
to remain in his present equiyocal posi-
ton Proctor immediately Endorsed all
Blaine said and declared his resignation
would follow Window did not go quite so
far, but assisted the other mem
bers in their efforts to convince
the President that the cabinet officers must
be the heads of their departments in deed
afford to remain here in a clerical position.
The cause of the outbreak was the indis
position to make certain appointments de-
sired by Blaine, Window and Proctor
They spent much time trying to have sew
eral recommendations approved yesterday
The President went so far as to com
pletely turn down several of the proposals,
and announced himself as going to do the
exact opposite. Not the least doubt has
existed for several days that Blaine's days
in the cabinet are numbered. It is now
certain that the figure is small.

Two RIG 1O-Inch Guns Done

WASHINGTON, May 23.-The ordnance
bureau of the navy department has COM
pleted two of the 1O-inch steel breech-
loading rifles for the.monitor Miantonach.
These are the largest and most powerful
guns yet turned out for the navy. One of
them has been fully tested with the
most gratifying results, as it compares
favorably with the best products OF the
renowned European ordnance works.
Muzzle velocity attained was 10000 feet
per second. The range could not be de-
termined owing to lack of a sufficiently
large proving ground, but it is estimated
at ten miles.
Soon after the contracts are awarded for
the construction of new 2,50O-ton gun
boats, preparations will begin at the Wash
ington ordnance yard for the manufacture
of their peculiar ordnance, which is to be
made US entirely of rapid fire guns of ex
traordinary calibre compared with guns
of this type now in use on our naval yes
sells. The largest guns of this kind will be
six inches IN calibre, but owing to the sim
plicity and compactness of the mechanism
and construction, they will not materially
exceed in weight the 6-inch rifles of the
kind now in use, although they are fully
equal to them in range and accuracy and
are vastly superior in offensive power by
reason of their rapidity of fire.

BlackbaIIing the Blacks.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner dispatch !
WASHINGTON, May On. E P. McCabe,
of Kansas, has discovered that the colored
Republicans of the north are getting moth
ing from the administration. Mr.. McCabe
is one of the representative colored men of
his section, and was for four years auditor
of his state. He says that while the col
ored Republicans have received some rec
ignition at the hands of the administration,
nearly all of the favors thus far intended
for them have been given to the southern
representatives of the element, so far as
the appointments of coIored men
to important positions have been
made, Lynch, of Mississippi, as special
agents of the interior department, aud
Townsend, of Indiana, as recorder of the
general land Office, are all. Smith has re-
sided in Missouri only short time ~ He
came from Mississippi, where he was prom
inent in politics, and his appointment was
secured by Mississippi influence. Ex-Sen-
ater Bruce and ex-Representativo Lynch
were his principal hackers. Townsend is
an Indiana man, and as Indiana men seem
to constitute a separate and distinct class
when it comes to Office seeking and office
getting, ex-Auditor McCabe argues that
the colored men of the north have yet to be
recognized in full and fair sense,

from Gravesend around the Nose light
ship and back. Owing to the absence of
wind, however, they only went to the nose
and back to the finish. 1t was drifting
match. The Vaikyrie won easily. To
days race proved an infinitely better test
of the Valkyrie than Wesnesday's race. 1t
was virtually over the same course. The
Valkyrie made an excellent start IN
a light east wind. The Yarena was close at
hand for some time, but in short lacking on
the Kent shore the Valkyrie met the Iarena
on the starboard tack and the latter TOOK a
tideway, giving the Vallzyrie the advantage,
which she increased to three noses ana
maintained during the run home until
Gained at the top of the sea reach. Finally
a light southwestern breeze took the leader
to finish. The Irexia abandoned the race
at the nose.
The Valkyrie's performance was greeted
with hearty cheers by the spectators on
shore and the committee on the boat, who
expressed great confidence in her future.
The Times calls the Valkyrie's perform
ance a brilliant display Of light weather
speed. 1t was no mean performance to beat
the Yarena by upwards of four minutes
in a dead heat in a light breeze to the nose.
So long as the breezeS were evenly served
out, the Valkyrie was always able to keep
Yarena tight pinned under her lee and she
was by far the faster boat with the sheets
off, Toward the end, the Valkyrie was
exceptionally smart in weathering a
steamer into the nose, not yard being
wasted. The day was supposed to be in
favor of the Yareina, but the wind was
light and variable and afforded no chance
of showing her best qualities.

Race in a Poor Wind.

IN YORK, May 23.-The greatest none
tary prize of the spring racing season, the
great American stakes, worth 5000 to the
winner, was decided at Gravesend this at
ternoon, and St. Carlos. the crack two-year-
old, and owned by Banker August Belmont,
was victorious. The weather was pleasant
and the track in very fair condition.

The fourteen contestants presented
beautiful sight as they were ranged before
the starter on the back-stretch. After a
dozen attempts, they were finally gotten
off with the favOrite colt ahead of the lot,
Torso next, Chaos third and St. uCarlo
fourth. Torso was the first past the half
mile post, half a length before Chaos, who
was a full length in front Of Belmont who
had the EccOla colt ana Houston at his
saddle girth At the last furlOng post
it was.seen that the great prize lay at the
mercy of Ballarat, st. Carlol or
Torso. Another sixteenth of the distance

winner Another shout hailed his victory
as he dashed by the imaginary line, the
winner by nearly three lengths in 1:O2l5;
Ballarat second. Taiso third, fractional
time was first quarter in 0:25; three

showed that while Hanover was good for
seven furlongs or less with ordinary
horses, he can no longer 90 a distance with
the cracks of the day.

was eased, and at the gquarter post,
Diablo was but length behind him. Half

they rounded the turn he ran away from
Hanover with ease, and came into the

The Presbyterian Assembly.

New YORK, May 23.-In a Presbyterian
general assembly to-day the report of the
committee on education showed that be-
cause of the want of funds to educate
young men for the ministry an unusually
large number of churches are without pas
tors.
Rev. DR.. Ferris, of Illinois, and Rev, Dr.
Poor, secretary of the board of education,
spoke upon the report. The burden of their
remarks was that money must be had or
the work of educating young men will be
seriously affected. The report of the
ternal cooperation in Christian
work with the southern church,
was called up. The committees of both
churches have agreed upon cooperation in
the foreign mission work, cooperation in
the home field, and in reference to cooper
alton in the fevangelization of the colored
people in both churches should not be al
lowed to remain in statu quo. The work
among them must proceed on the
same lines as before The minority
report, signed by Judge breckenridge,
holding that nothing short of or
ganic union between both churches
was desirable or practicable, was also
fled. That part of the work relative to
cooperation in foreign mission work was
passed. Inc second part on cooperation
in the home field was opposed By Rev.
John Fox, who held the northern church
had already proposed marriage TO the
southern church. and was rejected, and of
the part of the report under discussion
bound them to too close ties with the
south DR.. G. L. Thompson said it would
be economy of men and means if the report
was adopted. Curry andnF'ulton. of Ken
lucky, opposed the resolutions. Rev. DR..
Crosby supported the majority report One
of the complaints against it, he said, SIS
that the northern church has more money
than the southern church, and that there
fore the southern church would reap the
greater advantage by this union This
ought to be a source of qualification to us
rather than of complaint F..
A vote was taken and the clauses on
home missions passed. The question of
cooperation in the eyangelization of the
colored people was next taken up, but the
hour of adjournment having arrived it was
postponed.
The discussion continued till late hour
tonight, when everyone having been given
an opportunity to speak, a vote was taken;
so votes were cast in favor of cooperation,
81 in opposition, the full strength of
not being represented. The re-
port was adOpted.

CHICAGO, May 23.-Dr. c. L. Livinger
was on the stand again to-day, in the in
sane asylum investigation. He told how
the employees, backed by political influence
had refused to recognize him as president
When asked about the expensiveness of the
Cook county asylum, as compared with the
state institution he said that in the state
institutions the rate is about eight dollars
per capita per month, while in the Cook
county asylum it is at least Si2. He believes
that Cook county has paid as high as $50
per month per capita. Most of the expense
was for whisky. With 1,5OO patients in
the Kankakee Northern State asylum the
liquor bills amount to two hundred or three
hundred dollars per year. In Chicago, with
an average of eight hundred or nine hun
dred people, the same bills amounted to
three thousand or four thousand dollars
The excessive cost was largely due to
stealing

Flax Cultivation.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-Since the'recent
publication in these dispatches of the letter
by the assistant secretary of agriculture
respecting the existence of a machine that
will take fax fibre from the stalk without
melting, the mail of the department has
been burdened with letters on the subject,
showing national interest. One Of the
letters received was from manufacturer
in the'northwest, who has invested nearly
one hundred thousand dollars in the bust
ness of fax manufacture. The writer
says he has made two trips To Ire-
land and Belgium and has seen
the operations of the machine refelYed to
and confirms all that is claimed He
further agrees with the original writer that
the country is on the verge of a greslt revo-
luton in the production and manufacture
of flax
Considerable interest is shown BY the
correspondents in the success of Che ex-
pertinent of growing fax mere abulidantly
as the solution of the difficulties and bur
dens which, it is said, is forced upon the.
farmers of the northwest by the twinetrust
The department is considering in ceanec-
ton with fax, the whole subject pf the

jim Seymour's Career.

Especial to THE HRRALD-Examiuer dispatch
New YORK, May 80 jim Seymour, the
ex-Wall street broker who figures conspic-
uously as a defendant in the Recamier
suit, originally started as wholesale liquor
dealer in Galveston, Texas. where he may
ried a society belle and failed, but his wife
saved SIS, 600 out of the wreck and accom-
panied her husband to Chicago, where
grain house was started by him. He
brought Sl,000,0OO to New York, and
started the Wall street house in connection
with James A. Baker, an ex-San Fran
cisco mining expert. Seymour caught on
to the mining fever prevalent here in 1880,
and brought to life some of the widest
felines that ever crawled into the jungles
and deserts of the far west. The Old Vul-
ture mine, Arizona. was galvanized as the
central. He sold many shares and fioated
South Pacific to $40 share No man in
New York ever saw the South Pacific mine
anywhere. The Phoenix of Arizona was
the last of Seymour's mining ventures. It
came to an ultimate end before he could sell
much stock. Seymour then retired from

New YORK, May 23.-The second days

Pension Appropriations.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-The pension ap-
preparation act for the current fiscal year
appropriated $50, 100000 for the payment of
pensions; IS, 900, 900 were also appropriated
for the same purpose to meet a threatened
deficiency, making total appropriation of
1884, 900, 600. This whole amount will be
necessary to meet the demand of the pen
sioners, and there may then be a deficiency,
but it is said at the pension Office that there
is no truth in the statement that sos, 200,
900 will be expended for pensions during
the fiscal year.
H. c. Bell, chief of the agents division Of
the pension Office, who is entrusted with
the duty of seeing to the expenditure of
the pension appropriation, says the appro-
priation for the next fiscal year-SSO, 400, =
00O-is too small, and that there will be a
deficiency of about fifteen million dollars
General Black sayshe did not ask for enough
money to prevent deficiency even on a
basis of the expenditures then existing.

PARNELL CONGRATULATED.
Various Irish Municipal Bodies Present Him
With an Address.

LONDON, May 23.-A deputation from
various Irish municipal bodies to-day pre-
scented to Parnell an address congratulating
him upon his success in disproving before
the commission the many calumnies that
had been heaped upon him. Parnell re-
piled that he was sure the Irish municipal
authorities would continue to use their
privileges, not for the purpose of thsdisin-
tegration of the empire, nor for upsetting
the authority of the Queen, but for obtain
ing and realizing their legitimate aspi-
rations. He had never doubted that
the falsity of the forged &tters
would ultimately be shown. He would,
rather have gone to his grave with the
stigma of the letters upon him than to have
submitted his country to the Illuminating
ordeal which it was proposed to place upon
it as an accompaniment of the inquiry into
the authenticity of the letters Right had
been transgressed under the pretense of an
inquiry into crime. A political ISSUE had
been laid before men who were not eompe-
tent to give fair decision. He hadfnever
contemplated the failure of parliamentary
action. If convinced of its futility, he and
his colleagues would not remain IN the
house of commons twenty four hours. He
believed in the near realization oFfbeir
hopes,
