Her Representatives Ask for a
Big Appropriation for Irrigation
Purposes.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Mr. Stewart
has proposed an amendment to the sum
dry civil appropriation bill. raising the
appropriation for irrigation purposes
from $4,000 to s35o,oOo. He also pro-
poses to strike out the word ''for'' in the
fourth line of the paragraph and insert
other words, so as to make the appro-
priation for 1.-THE selection of sites,
making surveys and estimating the cost
of construction of reservoirs and other
hydraulic works, etc. At the end of the
paragraph he proposed to ask
provision that when the sur
veys and estimates have been COM
pleted for the irrigation of a particular
section of land, the land in that section
shall be subject to entry under the
homestead laws, provided that no bat
ent shall be issued until the construc-
ton of the hydraulic works shall have
proceeded SO far as to furnish the water
for the reclamation of the lands to- be
patented, or so much of them as aresre-
claimable. Any transfer of right to
these lands before the patent is issued
is void. 1t is provided thagpersons inter-
ested in the lands may, under reguIa-
tons and restrictions to be imposedJby
the secretary of the interior, mortgage
their right to the lands to obtain the
funds to build Hydraulic works, and
may form with other persons co-opera-
tive assoc iationS for this purpose. ~

This is the bill which makes it a INSIDE
meanor to sell tobacco, cigars or ciga-
rettes to children under sixteen. Sena-
tor Hall did not object to the principle
OF the bill, but was concerned about ''the
old nan"-the farmer-who had to
send his son to the city for his supplies
of the delicious weed. Senator Sven
son was willing to meet the wishes OF
''the old man." The bill chiefly con
cerned the cities, where boys OF tender
years smoked so much. An amendment
might be made to exclude the country
districts, but this was denounced by
Senator Crandall. who placed on record
that the boys in the country needed
looking after. The age might be re-
duced to boys under fourteen.
Senator Brown-Why boys? why
not say children under under fourteen
Senator Crandall-All right. Girls
too, then. Laughter.
Senator Daniels supported the bill in
the interests of morality, decency and
humanity. Before a boy reached the
are of sixteen he thought he knew more
than 1.-THE old man." and the law should
teach them more sense and decency. 1t
''the old man" would not force 1T upon
the boy, the law must.
Senator Keller Endorsed these re-
marks, when Senator Edwards intro
duced ali amendment reducing the pro-
hibitory age from sixteen to fourteen
years. Farmers would then be able to
send their boys, generally fifteen years
old, for their supplies of tobacco, which
was considered one of the necessarieS of
lite III the country. the amendment
was lost, and Senator Swenson sug-
gested that upon being provided with an
order the boys should be enable to pur-
chase the supplies required, when Sen
ator Crandall bobbed up with: mo. no.
That will only be an incentive to forge,
and the boys will not only become con.
firmed chewers, but confirmed forgers."
1t was decided that the bill should be
recommitted to the education commit
tee. who are to devise some means for
paclfying the demands OF ''the old
man.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Tiie advlces
received here to the effect that vessels
had already been chartered to carry
coal to Pago-Pago are premature. The
navy department have not yet closed
with the ship owners, but expects to do
so soon. and then ship about 5000 tons
of coal from New York OR Philadelphia
to the Pago-Pago coaling station. The
last shipment of coal to this station was
made in 1882, when about $500 tons
were shipped there, and this shipment
has lasted more than six years-In fact,
from latest advices. is not entirely eX-
hausted to-day, although the presence
OF several United States war ships In
Samoan waters during the past few
months has resulted in an unusually
heavy drain on the coal bunkers at
Pago-Pago. This new consignment OF
coal laid down at Pago-Pago will be
pretty high-priced fuel, costing the gov
ernment about 81 per ton here. and from
Sl2 to Sl3 per ton for transportation to
Pago-Pago.
