AN IRRIGATION PROBLEM.
Texas and Mexico Both Interested In Its
Solution.

Secretary Proctor this morning gave q hear
Ing to the disputants in the claim Of certain
parties to the right to open q new irrigating
ditch from the Rio Grande river through the
Fort Selden reservation. New Mexico. Argu-
ments we're madeby Senator Reagan, Delegate
Joseph, Mr.. W. H. Llewellen, representing the
proposed new company, and Col d.
c. Bowman. representing the oppos-
ing inseresta The question is an
interesting one, involving difficult
interstate and international problems, since
Doth Texas and Mexico are interested The
opposition to the new ditch comes from the
owners OF q number of old Mexican bitches,
some Of them dating back yor a couple Of hun
ored years, that open from the river at dis
tances below the fort varying from six TO thirty
miles, These people claim that there is not
water enough Tor the new ditch, which il to be
opened some distance above them all and in
superior location. This is a very profitable
business in the arid parts of the southwest-the
selling OF water to farmers-and the vested
rights OF the old companies are jealousy
guarded.
MAI. MILLS REPORT.
Maj. Arson Mills- tenth cavalry, was detailed
last spring to assist Maj. Powell Of the geologi-
cal survey in the work Of making survey Of
the lands it is proposed to irrigate by means Of
government appropriations, and be recently
made a report to the Secretary on this same
topic Of the conflicting rights. In conclusion
he said:
Now, with reference to the construction of
this new ditch aud what its effects will be,
am OF the opinion that if there should always
be sufficient water in the river for it and all
others having prior rights IL would gradually
absorb the older bitches BY reason of lite greater
and more certain capacity, its higher line and
economical advantages; but If there should not
be sufficient water in the river for all,
as do not believe there will.
then there will be struggle for existence
among them and some will have to be aban-
doned. and none will like to surrender without
struggle, even perhaps unfair. Two more
seasons like the two past ones will drive great
portion Of the poor farmers from these valleys
as vagrants and see no other remedy for il
than the impounding Of the food waters by
dams and reservoirs"
The Secretary has deferred decision in the
matter until he receives answer to a letter
he has sent to Major Powell asking his opinion.

David Howard, a cabman, was in the Police
Court this morning on . charge of overcharg-
ing two passengers. They were from New
York and employed the driver to take them
from 18th and'H streets to the Atlantic build
ing on street. One short stop was made on
the way. The driver charged them the legal
fare, so cents, and an additional Is cents for
making the stop. This the passengers declined
to pay. Lieut.. Amiss was appealed to and he
decided that 80 cents was all the driver was
entitled to. The driver was not satisfied with
the decision and then he was obliged to leave
the matter to the court. Judge Miller sus-
tanned the decision of Lieut.. Amiss and held
the driver guilty Of overchsrging. The court
imposed fne Of el0 on the driver and sus-
pended sentence

To Go to the Court Of Claims.

Government printing Office employees are
going to ask the Court of Claims to settle q
much-vexed question. First Controller Mat
thews decided some time ago that the per diem
employees who labor under the direction of the
public printer are entitled under the law to an
annual leave of as many working, days as fall
within period Of thirty consecutive calender
days. To this objection is made on the ground
that per diem employees are only paid for the
days when they are at work and a. they do
not and never did work ON Sundays or legal
holidays they insist that such days are not
properly included in their annual leave Of alb
sence. The late Controller Durham agreed
with the workmen, but Controller Matthews
reversed the decision and thereby abbreviated
the leave of absence pay from sl2 to s16 q
year for each Of the hundreds Of toilers in the
government printing Office.
At meeting OF the various committees inter-
ested in this matter Mr. H. L. Shomo was
instructed to secure the services Of an attorney.

Pennsylvania Defeats Lehigh.
Especial to the SUNDAY HERALD.1

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1S.-A prettier or closer
game of football was never played on the
and Pennsylvania to-day Both colleges put
the best teams they could obtain in the field
At the outset Lehigh rushed the playing and
succeeded in keeping the ball dangerously near
their opponents goal, but they failed to score.
By remarkable run from near the centre of
the field Church, of the Pennsylvania, made the
first touchdown for his team. No goal was
kicked, and the first half ended to DIN Penn
sylyania's favor. During this half Lehgh lost
the services of her captain and end rush, Emery:
to retire, and Walker, the other end, was dis
qualified for slugging. Crippled in this fashion,
Lehigh finished the game and held Pennsylvania
down to another touchdown. The game closed
with a score of 8 to 0 in favor of Pennsylvania
The game was won on its merits, however, and
Lehigh was fairly defeated.

BASE BALL.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 1S.--About three
thousand people saw the baseball game at
brotherhood Park to-day between the Philadel-
phia Brotherhood team and a nine made up of
players of the Athletic players of 1889. The
game was for the benefit of Manager Sharsig,
OF the Athletic Club, and was won by the
Brotherhood team by score of to2.
LOUISVILLE, Oct 1S.-The worlds champion
ship game to-day resulted Brooklyns, 5; Louis
villes, 3.
The baseball situation is getting into very
peculiar shape, and it is evident that the old
League still maintains the upper hand in the
deals now going on. 1t will be remembered
that about this time last year, when the players
revolted and cut away from their old employees,
they said that in the future they would manage
their own affairs to the exclusion of the monop-
olists who had hitherto controlled them. Well
they organized stock companies, and in every
instance placed at the head of affairs men who,
II not monopolists, were very anxious to become
such and the consequence was as the season
advanced they found themselves in the tolls of
men just as tyrannical as those they had cut
loose from. The tyranny complained of in the
first instance was only strong law Of disci-
pline but the players could not be argued into
the belief that it was for their good hence they
broke the halter, strayed away only to find the
rens tighter in the new field. Now, these capi-
talists whom they placed at the head of affairs
have commenced to dicker with the old League
magnates for terms, and the old Leaguers, rec
the struggle, have willingly met the representa-
tives of the brotherhood, not the players, for
they refuse point blank to dicker with them, and
the chances are decidedly favorable for cessa-
tion of the fight. President Young says that
the deal is on simply with the controlling men
OF the clubs, not the Players and he is confident
it will come out successful. If it DOESN'T 1t
means that base ball is dead for 1891.
1t might be we'll for the lovers of the national
game to keep their eyes on the meeting of the
brotherhood that takes place on Monday in
New York There is blood in the air, and the
players are crying out against the deal with the
League.
In the list of reserved players sent out by the
national agreement clubs all the old Wash
ington players are included as property of the
League.
Washington will surely be represented in the
baseball arena next year and in the big deal
that is now being arranged by the League and
brotherhood. Mr.. Michael Scanlan, one of the
best managers in America, will be at the head
of it,
