Glass Works Will Close Down.
CHICAGO, May 7.-Thirty-fve leading
manufacturers of window-glass in the
east held a meeting here today. An
agreement was signed to go out of blast,
June 1st, instead Of July 1st. The pro-
duction OF the factories represented
amounts to about 100000 boxes per
month, and the shutdown will throw
out Of employment 5000 men month
earlier than usual. The chief factor
causing the early shutdown is said to
be the enormous falling off in the de-
mand for glass, caused by general car
penters' strikes.

ARID LANDS.
HOW TO MAKE THE DESERT Bios
SOM AS THE ROSE.
The Senate Irrigation Committees Re-
ports-Statistics Showing the Vast
Acreage That Can Be Reclaimed.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE irrigation
committee of the senate will make
report tomorrow ON the subject of irriga-
ton of the arid lands of the west. The
report says more than two-fifths of the
United States, excluding Alaska, requires
irrigation to insure regular crops With
dams and reservoirs at suitable places,
large extent of this region could be made
productive, and the floods of the lower
Mississippi alleviated. The process of
irrigation could be aided by
boring artesian wells. All the
country west of the eastern
base of the Rocky mountains requires
irrigation, except part of Washington.
Oregon and Northern California west of
the Cascade mountains, and small areas
in Eastern Oregon, Washington and
Northern Idaho.
The report charges the geological sur
vey with diverting $3.50, 900 of the money
appropriated for irrigation purposes to
the typographical survey.
The committee submits an estimate of
the areas under cultivation From this
1t seems that the area under ditch is 49,
561, 900 acres, of which 1900, 900 are in
California and 100000 in Colorado.
The amount cultivated by irrigation is
1853, 900 acres, of which $500, 900 are in
California and 500, 900 in Colorado. The
projects under way last year and par
TALLY completed will bring the acreage
under ditch up to $15,0OOOOO acres.
The total value of the reclaimed land is
nearly $700,000,O00 Allowing for the
reclaimability of 100 0O0,0 900 acres of arid
land, and we have as result total
real estate value of $2,5OO, 100000.
The committee in the bill reported
heretofore recommended the transfer of
the subject to the department of agri-
culture.
Reagan submits a minority report, dis
agreeing with most of the conclusions of
the majority, and recommending con-
gressional action diametrically opposed.
The minority says: The arid lands en-
brace an area of 1,340,0OO square miles.
OF which 100,000,000 acres can be re-
deemed for agriculture by using the
total supply OF the perennial
the waters used for irrigation to prevent
tecting the forests, which are being
rapidly burned; also pasturage lands.
Irrigable lands should be segregated and
declared such, and the right to use
water on them established, and
prohibition put on the use of
water on other lands. Irriga-
tion districts should be established
and farmers on these lands control the
catchment areas with all their values.
The minority believe the recommended
tions to discontinue the topographic
work of the survey and boring for ar
teSian water unWise

An italian Vendetta.

New ORLEANS, May 7.-There is a
vendetta between the Carnso and Pro-
venzano factions of Italians. Yesterday
morning some of the Provenzanos lay in
wait in Esplanade street and fired
twenty-five shots into a wagon-load of
the Carnso faction. Three of the latter
were seriously wounded. Ten Proven
zanos were arrested, but it will be diff
cult to prove anything against them, as
the Carnsos will probably get even in
their own way.

New YORK, May 1.-The World this
morning prints a four-column expose of
alleged frauds in the construction of the
new aqueduct to supply this city with
water, and which is not yet completed,
though it should have been in 1888.
Exclusive of land expenditures, the
great work, with supplying dams, has
cost nearly 23,000,000, and the end Of
the expenditures has not yet been
reached. More than this, the men who
contracted to do the work demand that
the city of New York shall pay them
some $lO,000,0OO for repairing work,
which they should have done according
to their contracts in the first place, but
which they have failed to do. As first
built there was scarcely one hundred
feet of solid work on the whole aqueduct.

On the Point of Failure.

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE western rail
road presidents accomplished nothing
to none Of the plans proposed for a
division of traffic, claiming that it would
be pooling and violation of the inter-
state law. The other roads, however,
assert that the Northwestern takes this
stand to preserve the advantage accruing
to it through it's combination with the
Union Pacific. Indications are that the
movement to reorganize the presidents
association, is ON the point of failure.
