How the Senate Committee Will Investi-
gate.
WASHINGTON, May 16-The Senate at
its last session appointed a committee to
investigate the question of the irrigation
and reclamation Of arid lands, consisting
Kansas; Allison, OF Iowa; Hiscock, Of
New York; Command, of Maryland; Rea-
gan, of Texas and Jones, of Arkansas.
They will begin their work August I, start
ing from ST. Paul. MINI. They expect to
spend ten weeks in the field and will visit
Northern Dakota, Montana, Idaho Gas far
as the Snake river basin), Utah, Nevada,
California, Arizona, Southwestern Texas,
along the valley of the Rio Grande from
Ell Paso to San Antonio, thence by the
Fort Worth, Santa Fe & Colorado railroad,
region and part of Southwestern New
Mexico, through that Territory, Kansas,
Colorado and Wyoming.
The committee will be accompanied by
Major Powell. director OF the geological
survey, who will prepare a report on irri-
cation in the United States, he having
been appointed irrigation engineer in the
United States geological survey. The
United States geological survey will have
six en- cheering parties in the field some
time before the committee starts. The
public domain west of the one hundredth
meridian will be divided finally into about
fifteen Autographed districts as the
topography of the region indicates the
proper storage basins. The six districts
now formed embrace the region between
the one hundredth meridian west longi-
tude and the Rocky mountains, Montana,
Idaho, Utah, Nevada and all the basin
section east of the Sierras, California,
west thereof, New Mexico and Arizona.

THE GERMAN STRIKES.

Ninety Thousand Coal Miners in Germany
On a Strike-Matters Looking Serious.
BERLIN, May IA number of strikers
at Castrep attempted to make riotous
demonstration. but were charged upon
and dispersed by dragons and lancers.
There was random firing between the
strikers and the military at that place
last night
The strike committee of the Dortmund
miners have issued manifesto signed by
Baute, Schroeder and Siegel, in which
they declare that the strikers will not re-
sumo work until all their demands are
conceded by the mine owners.
The miners n the Essen district have
struck. Thu Accession to the number of
strikers raises the total of the men who
have now quit work to 10000.
A council of the Prussian Ministry was
held yesterday to consider the question OF
the strike among the coal miners The
session was prolonged one. Prince Bis
marck presided. At the height of the dis
cussion Emperor William appeared and
took an active part in the deliberations.
1t is reported that the council decided to
summon to Berlin Populations from the
mine owners and miners in order that they
might submit their disputes to Govern
ment arbitration.
The delegates sent by the striking miners
to wait upon Emperor William have ar
rived in this city and will be received as
representatives of the 100, 900 miners.
The semi official press deny the reports
that collisions occurred between the troops
and strikers on Saturday, and assert that
there was no rioting in any Of the dis
| turbed localities.
The strikers yesterday tried to prevent
the opening Of the Altehaase and Sprock-
hoevel pits. but hussars dispersed the
strikers and made many arrests.
A man named Hennes whose brother
| was killed in the riot at Schleswig sud-
denly went insane yesterday and killed q
| friend named Bleichert with a Ratchet.

BROKE in TWO.

-cident to a Mixed Train on the Union
Pacific Near Beatrice, Neb.
BEATRICE. Neb.. May 16.-A terrible
accident occurred one mile south CT here
about seven O'Clock last night A mixed
train on the Union Pacific broke in two,
and the rear half a few minutes later
crashed into the forward half with terrific
force, causing a bad wreck. In thu coach
attached to the train Sam Roberts, line
man on the Union Pacific, and lady,
whose name could not be harmed,
were riding. The latter was badly
injured. but bow seriously IS not known.
Roberts, whose home is in Lincoln, was
badly injured that he is not ex-
pected to live. He was brought to this
city as soon possible and taken to the
hotel and medical aid summoned. The
doctors say his lungs were badly crushed
and his spine fractured. If he survives
the shock there is faint hope that he
may recover; but the probabilities are all
against it Re is now lying in an I'M
conscious condition, but every thing pos
sible is being done for him. Ire track
was blockaded for several hours.

WONDERFUL INVENTION.

Two Hundred and Thirty Miles an Hour
Proposed for Travel.
NEW YORK, May 1S-A new scheme of
transportation is to be introduced between
New Y ork and Boston whereby, it is said,
large packages of mail and even cars con-
tanning passengers can be whisked from
one place to another, a distance of 230
miles, in less than an hour. This would
be equal to a speed of four miles per min
ute.
An experiment with the new machine
was made yesterday in Boston in the pres
ence of many scientific men. including
Prof A. E. Dolbear, of Tufts College.
who announced that he was thoroughly
satisfied of the success of the system.
The inventor, John G. Williams, is a
resident of this city. His machine con-
sists of a magnetic oar. hanging from a
electricity. With one horse power it is
a distance of l, 40 miles in a day and at a
cost of thirty cents. This in mail matter
would represent some % million letters
and by this system packages of mail could
be sent every five minutes if necessary,
thus preventing large accumulations.
The single track Is to be carried on
tripods some distance above the ground
and the car will pass through coils of in
sulated wire at intervals. In the expert
ments yesterday the carriage exhibited
was mounted on a wooden rod on posts
about three feet high, with an ascent of six
inches in fifty feet, and it is run on one
wheel at each end.
The scientific principle involved is said
to be that by which a hollow coil of insu-
lated wire will draw a magnet to itself.

THE ARIZONA BATTLE.
Particulars of Paymaster Wham's Eu
counter With Robbers.

Particulars of PaymaSter Wham's En-.
counter With Robbers.
TCcsoH. A. T., May ia Fort Thomas
special gives the particulars Of the recent
fight between a bahd of robbers and
United States Paymaster Wham's party
near Cedar Springs, in which the robbers
obtained $40 600. At the point at which
the attack was made the road winds down
q long hill. Near the top it runs between
a high wall on the east and a low wedge
OF rock on the west A large rock was
discovered in the road and the party
stopped to removeit. A volley of shots was
thereupon fired from the brow of the hill,
which rose to a height of fifty feet
almost perpendicularly. None of the rob-
masters party, which consisted Of Major
J. w. Wham, Clerk w. j. Gibbon, two
non -commissioned officers, nine privates
and two drivers, Immediately returned
the fire, which became general. The rob-
bers had placed men further up the hill to
the right of the party and also sent men
along the hill to get in a cross fire from
the left. 1t is known that at least one
man in each of the thanking parties was
either killed or wounded. The paymas-
ter's party made a break for the ravine
below the ledge, which for 800 yards
is without shelter and five men were
wounded in crossing it. The others of the
party retreated further around the point
of the hill. Paymaster Wham. from be-
hind the ledge, thinking the cross fire had
been silenced. made a heroic effort to rally
his men, but they were compelled to seek
other shelter, being exposed to a terrible
fire. The paymaster, his clerk and the
corporal were the only men who reached
the last shelter unwounded. While some
of the robbers kept up the fire from
the hill it was very easy matter for
the others to go down and secure the
booty, which was in strong iron-bound
box on the boot of the ambulance. It was
opened with an axe, and the $29, 600 car
ried away, together with a valise, which
they soon cut open and. abandoned. One
robber was seen to be- taken- away on a
pack mule and tracks of blood showed
| them to have suffered badly. At no
time were all of the band seen.
Six of the wounded in the pay
masters party were conveyed in the am
bulance to'a hospital here and surgeon
and wagons were sent for the others.
Eight men out of eleven were wounded.
One of the wounded soldiers has died and
three others are in critical condition.

GUTHRIE NofES.


/ D1sturbance Over . CIsim--A Baby Born
"A bath House Bunt-Ete.
GUrHRIE, L T., May 1.-The streets are
crowded with people and vehicles and
| the sbopkeepers do a good business. The
crowd at the land Office has very percep-
tibly lessened, now that q great number
have already succeeded in filing.
Some uneasiness is felt by those claim
ing lots who know they have no legal
right to on account of hnving entered the
Territory prior to noon of the opening
day. Mr.. McBride's little list will annoy
them after he has submitted 1t to the au-
thorities at Washington.
A man named Eidrid4e was arrested
yesterday morning for refusing to vacate
lot and yield possession to the party
whom tho arbitration committee declared
the riehtful owner. A warrant was issued
for Eldridge's arrest and it is said he re-
sisted the officer. A large crowd gath
cred in the streets and one OF Mar
shall jones' deputies, Warner, seeing
tho disturbance and not knowing
the cause of it, rushed into the midst Of
the crowd and commanded it to dispense,
at the same time exclaiming that he was
a peace officer. The crowd did not readily
dispense as ordered, but on some one cry
ing: Look out, there is a gun !" the street
was soon cleared This is the first and
only excitement that has occurred in this
peaceful, law-abiding city since the OPEN
ing day. Not many pistols are worn here
now. Men coming in from remote Sec
tons of the country sometimes have
pistol or gun with them, but as a rule the
people in town and out in the country
have no use for weapons.
Since the principal streets have been
clearly defined hardly an hour has passed
that house can not be seen in the streets
f,v.
more substantial building or to front in
some other direction. There are now at
least l. 600 houses completed and more go
ing up every day. Real estate lots espe-
cially are on the increase as to value. A
lot which sold for $3.50 W eek ago would
bring $500 easily to-day.
A very great improvement is noticeable
in the quality of buildings being erected
now. Guthrie can furnish almost every
necessity that the most fastidious would
desire.
The streets are lined with Indians all
during the day, as the town is favorite
place for them to trade and its shopkeepers
are doing paying business with the
many tribes located near here.
Among other improvements in Guthrie
is the completion of q building which is
used exclusively for bathing purposes. It
is arranged so that women can avail
themselves Of the convenient and essen
tial establishments For city not yet
three weeks old a complete bath house
is certainly evidence of its rapid improve
ment
There are two local newspapers pub
lished in this city. The Optic is bright
little daily and the Times is a weekly
bearing evidence of being under the con-
troll of trained journalists
The first baby born in this city saw the
light Sunday. It is called Guthrie Dyer
and is a promising boy weigh
ing fourteen pounds.

A MANUFACTURING Cum.

ANNAPOLIS. Md, May IA trial of the
briggs Schroeder rapid firing 6-pounder
gun took place at the naval ordnance
proving grounds near here under Lieu
tenant Commander Dayton, Lieutenant
briggs, the inventor, and the attaches of
the German and Japanese legations. The
gun fires the same ammunition as the
Hotchkiss 6-pounder, and the inventor
claims several points of superiority over
that gun. The test was for rapid
ity of firing, non-heating qualities, Sc
curity against premature explosions and
smoothness of machinery. The gun was
fred nineteen times in one minute and
