Immediately cancel all filings made
since October 2, 1888, on such sites
for reservoirs, bitches or canals fol
irrigating purposes, and all lands
THAT may be susceptible of irriga-
ton by such reservoirs, bitches OF
canals, whether made by indiyi-
duals or corporations, and you will
hereafter receive no filings upon
any such lands"
Notwithstanding the passage Of
this act and the subsequent in
structions to the land officials, ii
appears that numerous filings and
entries within the arid regions
have been permitted to be made.
Last April the Attorney General
was asked for an opinion upon the
matter Of these subsequent filings
and entries, and he fully sustained
the action Of the Commissioners.
In his letter of instructions issued
to-day Commissioner Croft calls
attention to the former instructions
by the Secretary and the opinion
of the Attorney General, and di-
reefs the Registers and Receivers
to proceed strictly in accordance
herewith. He thus concludes:
although, in any case, there be
at the time no designation of the
land involved therein as a section
for a site or sites for reservoirs,
bitches, or canals for irrigation
purposes, or as land thereby made
susceptible Of irrigation; that fact
is not to be considered as showing
that the land is open to entry, as,
although not yet selected, it may
be liable to such selections under
said act, which is held to withdraw
all lands so liable from disposal.
You Will, therefore, permit no en-
try or filing Of any lands lying
within the arid regions that may
be included in your land district,
on any condition whatever, but
will promptly reject any applica
ton that may be made for such an
entry or filing, with the usual
right Of appeal. You will take any
necessary action to assertion the
proper limits Of the arid rigions,
and whether any lands in your
district are included therein, and
if you have any doubt thereof you
may submit the question to this
office for specific instructions. Any
entries or filings Of lands within
the arid regions which may have
already been allowed subsequent
to the passage Of the act of October
2, 1888, and reported to the Office,
will be taken up and acted upon
according to the principle indicated
herein, as soon as practicable in
course of official business"
The question Of Withdrawing the
arid lands from settlement is one
which has been extensively debated
inciGently during the consideration
of the appropriations for the irriga-
ton survey. Some Of the western
senators and members made vigor-
Gus protests and endeavored to
wholly defeat the irrigation scheme
of Director Powell and the depart
ment, but they succeeded only in
part, The appropriation has prac-
tically continued to a smaller ex-
tent than before, but it is evident
from the instructions issued to-day
that the policy inaugurated relative
to the irrigation of the arid lands
is still in force, and will remain so
unless Congress takes positive &C
ton to the contrary.

In pursuancs Of this policy the McKin-

After discussing various schemes pro-

world" He didno think there Was any
reason to be fainfrhearted because Of such
legislation Is the Mckinley bill. .What il
would do would be to cause diversion Of
trade to the markets of Great Britain; but
We had not only to look toward this diver
sion Of trade. A very large and very prof
liable market stood open in the West
Indies for the very products upon which
the heightened tariff had been placed by
the United States. Then there was range
for developing our trade In China Janan
and Australia, in the two former of which
the demand for our products was every

ScienSanc Procedure OF the Merry Road.
Runners Of Arizona.
Kansas City Star.
In Eastern Arizona, along the hot. burn
ing trails, one often sees long billed, long,
legged specimen of bird racing on in front.
Generally there are two of them. They
are garrulous and communicative. and as
they hurry on they gossip with each other
In lerky, strident tones which give the i'm
preston Of inferior brain power. These are
'road-runners," and . stuffed specimen

The road-runners are in feud with rattle
snakes, feud which, handed down long
iIpes of truculent road-runners. has its
hfst roots in the robbery of the family nest

Baby serpents Fight for Angleworms,
Also Devour Insects.
Scientific American.
A few summers ago had large
sirtalis which had been caught the previous
spring, in . vivarium by herself. I was
greatly astonished one morning to find
that the vivarium contained twenty EIGHT
snakes instead Of one. the happy mother
having during the night given birth to
twenty-seven baby snakes. They were
quite . lively little party, crawling
about and over their mother with
unmistakable infantile glee. Not
wlthstanding their playful activity,
they were continually yawning during
the morning, perhaps not fully recovered
from their prenatal sleep. The first thing
thought Of was how and what to feed this
interesting family. knew that . toad or
frog, once or twice week, was food suffi-
cient for the mother. but the snakelets did
not appear able to master q large grass
hopper, much less . toad. Having been
informed that young snakes fed upon in
sects, at once went on . collecting trip
and secured . number of crickets. grass
hoppers, beetles. flies, moths and caterpil-
lars for them, but not one even attempted
to catch or swallow one of the insects. At
last concluded to try earthworms.
The first worm | brought to them was
recognized by several OF the snakes when
yet about three feet away from the glass
front of their cage, and the worm had
scarcely dropped from the forceps in my
hand before i've Of the baby snakes seized
upon it, and such fighting, twisting. rolling
and pulling never before witnessed! The
worm was torn apart, and four snakes
began greedily to swallow the two pieces.
One of the snakes not only swallowed his
end of the worm. but also the head of his
brother. who was at work at the opposite
end, and when the snake discovered that
while eating he was being eaten, the writh-
ing and squirmlng was indescribable
until the unfortunate snake disengaged
his head and neck from the teeth Of his
brother. After this l had no trouble in
feeding. having discovered what may be
called tine milk for baby garter snakes. /
am of the opinion that many species of our
land snakes, when immature, feed upon
earthworms. DR.. Hoibrook, in his work.
North American Herpetology,n says that
the little brown snake. Stoysyia De Kayi,
feeds upon insects. but never could get
them TO eat insects of any kind. Earth
worms we're their only food. The mature
garter snakes feed mainly upon tc ads and
frogs have never known them to be IN
seciiverous. In captivity l have seen them
swallow salamanders and small fishes, but
/ doubt very much If they ever pursue and
capture the latter in the water.
