arts resolution calling upon the secre-
tary of the interior to give reasons why
the money appropriated for irrigation
has been used.by. Major Powell for topog-
raphy, a matter, it is claimed having
bearing upon the question of irrigation,
has caused Powell to become indignant.
He now declares, in an interview, that
he is fighting combination of specu-
lators, backed by $5,OOO,OOO, who are
attempting to secure public lands and
irrigable waters.
vandever's Bill.
Chairman Vandever, of the house
committee on arid lands, has introduced
bill which, it is understood, will
be favorably reported. 1t provides
for the continuance of the irrigation
survey under Major Powell; the segre-
cation of irrigable districts, etc. The
districts will include the entire catch
ment area upon which each depends for
its supply. States and territories must
enact laws to carry out the purposes for
which the districts are organized. The
districts are to elect five irrigation COM
missioners each, as we'll as courts and
superintendents of forestry, pasturage
and irrigation. individuals can acquire
only forty acres of irrigable land under
the homestead law, but the coal, min
eral and townsite laws apply as hereto
fore in the arid region. The
users of water must pay their
proper share of the cost of constructing
irrigation works. All dams, reservoirs
and canal sites will remain in possess
sion of the general government. Irriga-
tion works can be constructed, however,
under regulations and laws established
by the commissioners in accordance
with the laws of the state or territory in
WHICH the district is located, if not in
conflict with this act. All timber, water
end pasturage within the limits of an
irrigation district is to be set apart for
the benefit of tue district, and can only
be used under the rules and regulations

TARIFF TINKERING,
The Senate Finance Committee Gets
Down to Business.

The Senate Finance Committee Gets
Down to Business.
WASHINGTON. May 29.-The senate
finance committee this morning took up
the tariff bill and considered it by para
graphs, subject to subsequent action.
The chemical schedule was first taken
up. 1t was decided at first not to recon-
mend free alcohol in the arts, as that
question affected many other items in
the schedule. After reading over
thirty-eight items, thirteen of the most
important being passed without action,
the noon hour arrived.
The question OF future meetings being
reached, Senator Sherman suggested
daily sessions of ten hours each, in or
der to hurry matters through. This
met opposition from both sides. Car
Isle and Voorhees, said it was a waste OF
time, as the matters must be discussed
in the senate anyhow.
Voorhees, thought the republicans
could agree on bill, and the democrats
if they thought best, could present a
minority report. Hiscock, Jones and
Morrill, spoke in similar strain.
Hiscock moved that a subcommittee
on each side be appointed to prepare
such schedules as would be advocated
by it's party on the floor of the senate
that each side submit its schedule to the
other as soon as prepared. Adopted.
No change was made as to the ques-
ton of giving oral hearings. The changes
made in the chemical schedule today are
all reductions. They were prepared by
republicans, supported by the solid demo
cratic vote, and the vote of the member
making the motion. None of them are
of any significance.
The committee will grant hearing tc
representatives of importers Tuesday
late bill, but will express their views
| in report.

The Joke Turned.

Some years ago il was still the custom

ais through gaping crowds Of idle spec;a-
tons 10 the guillotine. On one such oc-
casion the unfortunate heard would-be
Wit in the crowd remard to companion
well, I'll bet that fellow don't feel
much like sneezing into the basket"
The coarse attempt at joke stung the
prisoner and when be arrived at the
scahold he asksd that the proceedings
be stayed a moment as he had a con-
fession to make.
Although / denied it at my trial,
had accomplices in the crime for which
] have been sentenced, and there" point
ing to the joker, sis one of them now" 4"
Great excitement ensued and the par
ty designated was seized by the gendar-
mes with no gentle hands. Out Of the
confusion somebody managed TO drag
order and the wit was placed on the
scaifold beside his accuser.
Such fearful case Of abject terror as
the joker presented was never witnessed
in that sombre locality. After enjoying
his helpless fright for a few moments
the fated convict said to the official in
charge:
He tried TO make sport of my suffer
ings, but the man is innocent. And as
soon as he seemed to be sure that it was
no laughing matter for me to be here,
was curious 10 see how much such fun
ny fellow would laugh under similar
circumstances himself"

noise in his room, and in an instant he was
covered by revolver and knife in the
hands of two masked men. both ofpowerful
build, who warned him not to make any
noise, saying that they wanted money and
would not hurt him if he kept quiet. They
then bound and gagged him and proceeded
to 20 through the trunks in the room, when
they then marched young Smith TO an ad-
i1ining room and commanded him to open
the bureau This he did, and as he opened
the top drawer he saw by the light of the
lamp which one of the robbers carried re
volver lying in the drawer, which in an in
stant be had at the breast of the one nearest
him. He fired, but the cartridge missed FIRE
and before he could again recock the revolver
both men pounced on him and knocked the
revolver out ofhis hand.
They now swore they would FIX" him
and dragged him over to his room and, while
one covered him with revolver, the other
went to an adjoining room and cut the ropes
off of the bed. They hen tied him to the
bed post, afteiward going from room TO room
upturning every trunk, bureau and cupboard
they could find This was the story told
not an hour after Smith had been released
by neghbors who. seeing that window
had been removed from the back part of the
house. made an investigation and found the
boy almost overcome.
