INTER STATE WATERS.
First Gun on Coming Western Ques-
tion.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Senator Stewart
has introduced bill in the senate to
amend Section of the judiciary act as
follows.
'"That where the sole ground on juris-
diction is founded on the fact that the
action is between citizens of different
states, suit may be brought in the district
OF the residence of either plaintiff or defen
dent; and provided further, that when
there is controversy between citizens OF
different states involving the right to use
water which flows from one state into
another state, suit may be brought up in
the district where the plaintiff or defend
ent resides, and process may be used in
any district where the defendant may be
found"
The object of the bill is to allow suit to
be brought iii the circuit court in either
California or Nevada to determine water
rights to streams rising in California and
flowing into Nevada and to enable parties
to obtain service OF defendants whenever
they may be found.,'
There are in the irrigating regions many
other localities to which this law will ap-
ply Without such law there is no
practicable way Of determining disputes

Confirmed by Experiment.

The result of last summers experiments
conducted at Mansfield, Conn, by the
Storrs Agricultural school, just published,
should deeply interest all tillers of the
soil in New Mexico. They prove con-
clusively the benefits of deep blowing.
These experiments, for which provision
was made by congress, aimed at deter
mining the value of surface tilage to en-
able crops to withstand drought. Elabor-
ate tests were made to ascertain th" differ
ence between the evaporation from COM
pact layers of top soil and from the same
soil when loosened and cultivated.
The results show clearly that the soil
lost more water when compact than when
stirred to slight depth. A compact
layer at the top OF the soil, like an empty
sponge, absorbs the ground water
and brings it to the surface,
where the intense heat of the sun
changes it to vapor and the wind carries
it away. II the layer be loosened by the
hoe the openings in it contain more air,
which is a poor conductor # heat, and
helps to protect the soil against the dry
ing effects of sun and wind.
If American farmers generally heed the
teaching of these experiments there will
be large increase in their harvests, es-
pecially in the vast prairie regions of the
vest, where the summer rainfall is often
deficient.

How Rudolf Was Killed.

New YORK, Feb. 5.-The evening Sun
prints special from Berlin which it says
comes from source above suspicion.
The special says:
Crown Prince Rudolf was killed in a
duel Tuesday by Count Franz Clam Gallas
The crown princes witnesses were Count
Hoyas and Prince Coburg, his brother-in-
law. The counts witnesses were Prince
Ferdinand Kinsky and another nobleman.
The duel was fought at p m., in little
wood near Baden. The crown prince was
wounded and transported to the nearest
castle, Mayerling, and died late in the
evening.
The crown prince had been paying at
tentions to Countess Clam GalIas, nee
Hogas, for the last six months. 1t is
claimed that recently while on shooting
excursion on the estate of the lady y
mother-in-law Count Clam Galas, sur
prised his wife in compromising situa
ton with the crown prince. The count
at once challenged the crown prince.
The latter after consideration accepted
and the duel occurred
The whole affair has been largely sup
pressed by the Austrian court, but leaked
out through some aristocrats who were
compromised in the affair and had to
leave the country.
