mann (Republican) in congress by 5000

ocrats. The house. SO Republicans and
% Democrats; these figures cannot be
materially changed by additional re-
turns from TWO or Unree remote COun-
ties.
SAN Francisco, June 3.-A special dis
patch to the Chronicle from. Portland,
Ore, says: The causes which led to the
defeat of D. p. Thompson, the Republi-
can candidate for governor, are al
together local and personal. The Pro-
hibition party, the state grange and la
Dor union organizations cast their solid
vote for Pennoyer, and the strife OF the
Republican factions in Portland, caused
Thompson to be cut deeply in this city.
The whole Republican state ticket, ex-
cept the governor, has about 5000 ma
jority, and the Republicans will have
about sixty-two members of the legisla-
ture out of ninety.

that the order to dispatch American

of the First Napoleon in dealing with a
weak statesman, and if the order is exc
cuted British men-of-war must follow.
1--WE can only imagine, !" the TIMES says,
"that pressure from the Irish-Americans
induced Blaine to withdraw from his
apparent desire for diplomatic settle
ment. We believe England will agree
to close the time for seals in the open
sea, but such arrangements must be in
ternational, and cannot be imposedupon

the bidding of Blaine"

Sweeping Scope of the Arid
Lands Bill.
Secretary Noble Delivers an
Opinion.
A Nebraska Village Obliterated by a
Cyclone.
Many Reported Killed and Injured-The
Destruction of Loveland, Iowa,
Completed.
Associated Press Dispatches. !

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The secretary
of the interior today transmitted to the
senate an opinion by the attorney-gen-
eral, constituting the act of October 2,
1888, which appropriated the sum OF
$4,000 for investigating the extent to
which the arid region may be recovered
by irrigation. The opinion is transmit
ted in response to resolution by the
senate inquiring particularly as to the
views OF the interior department, con-
corning the scope and effect of the fol-
lowing section of the act of October I'd /:
"And all lands which may hereafter be
designated or selected by such United
States surveys for sites for reservoirs,
bitches, or canals for irrigating gpurposes,
and all lands made susceptible
of irrigation by such reservoirs,
bitches or canals, are from this
time henceforth reserved from sale
as property of the United States, and
shall not be subject after the passage of
this act, to entry, settlement or occupa-
ton until further provided by law"
The Encouragement stated his con-
clusion as follows: "The object of the
act is manifest that it was to prevent
the entry and settlement and sale of all
that part of the arid region of the public
lands of the United States, which could
be improved by general system of irri-
cation, and all lands which might there
after be designated or selected by United
States surveys as sites for reservoirs,
bitches or canals in such systems. 1t
was the purpose of congress by this act
to suspend ali rights of entry upon any
lands which would come within the i'm
proving operation of plans of irrigation,
to be reported by the director of the
geological survey under this act. The
language could hardly be stronger than
the words of the act in expressing this
intention. Entries should not be per-
mitted, therefore, upon any part of the
arid regions which might possibly come
within the operation of this act"
The general effect of this opinion is
that if the law is not modified it will re-
serve from settlement and entry practi-
cally the whole of the great arid regions
of the west. The secretary, in his letter
of transmittal, suggests that if congress
does not fully concur in the purposes of
the law, it should take the business in
hand at once, to so modify it as it may
deem the public interests require.
