IRRIGATION SURVEY TO STOP.

House Takes Up Original Package Bill,

Will Amend Election Law.

WASHINGTON CRY, July 1S.-Senator
Allen of Washington was the popular man
of the day in the Senate. He entered the
debate upon the irrigation subject, and
took strong grounds against the with
drawal of land now in force by reason of
the bill which bad been put through
drawal was an injustice to his state. If it
was desirable to have reservoir sites, any
practical man could locate them in q short
time, and the settlement could go forward.
There was no necessity for Typographical
survey to reserve these sites. Senator Al
len wanted the supervision OF these matters
given to each state. The people of Wash
ington and of the three sister states will be
with her and could take care of this mat
ter themselves. Their legislatures were
capabable of handling it, and they stood in
no need of the paternal care of the general
government. These four states were adj
mitted with the same right and privileges
as the original thirteen states, and are as
able to take care of themselves.
The senator talked for about twenty min
utes. When he began the Senate was prac-
tically empty, but when he finished he was
surrounded by the largest audience that
has greeted senator since the beginning
of the debate. AT the close of his remarks
he was congratulated by senators on both
sides of the chamber.
The entire West will be pleased to know
that the amendments to the sundry civil
bill, repeating the withdrawal act of 1888,
have passed the Senate. and such an over
whelming sentiment has been created
against the scheme that the House will be
compelled to accept the amendment, or
the bill would fail. The four new states
contributed the greatest strength toward
this repeal Since the effect of the law be-
came known the eight senators from the
Northwest have been working in every pos
sible way to get the law repealed. Some
made speeches in the Senate. others made
arguments before the committees, and all
worked upon individual members of the
Senate to show the great wrong that is be-
ing done them.
The amendment was subject to point
OF order, being legislation in an appropria-
ton bill 1t was known that the point
would be made, and that the president pro
tem., Ingalls,, would sustain it. This
would necessitate an appeal, and the Re
publicans would hesitate to overrule the
chair when they knew he was right; so
Ingalls, kept ont of the chair, and when the
matter came up Blair remarked that he
weuld refer it to me Senate. BY more
than two-tLirds the Senate refused to sus-
tain the point Within five minutes
Ingalls, ruled upon similar point and the
provision was defeated.

Old Walla Wal1a Man Allowed to Perish
in . Lonely Cabin.
WALLA WALLA, July 1S.-At a late hour
Thursday evening news was brought to the
city that the dead body of Nicholas Longen
had been discovered near his cabin, six
miles west of here. The body was slightly
decomposed. and every indication pointed
to the fact that the deceased had come to
his death the day before. Death is sup
posed to have resulted from natural causes.
Several months ago Longen was brought
before Judge Egan on complaint of his
wife, charged with insanity. since which
time proceedings of divorce were COM
menced by her. Evidence at the inquest
showed that Longen was found lying fiat
on his face in the hot sand, his knees and
face bruised, probably in struggle to get
up, and he had dug into the sand to q
depth of six inches II was shown that his
wife had witnessed his struggles. She
stated she saw him lying there and saw
him move the day before he was found.
She informed the neighbors of his condI-
ton, but offered no aid herself.
Mrs. Longen requested that her husband
be buried at the expense of the county,
which was refused, as the property of de-
ceased is unincumbered, and his wife fully
able to bear the expense.
Longen was aged 20 years. In the opin-
ion of DIR. Black ana DR.. Shaw, who at
tended the inquest, deceased came to his
death by reason OF old age, trouble. neg
lect and the excessive heat of Wednesday.

SPOKANE FALLS, July 1s.--An important
suit against the city of Spokane Falls was
commenced in the superior court today.
b. Harris, whose merchandise store was
destroyed by FIRE January 30, 1880, brings
suit against the city for the recovery of
5000. the value of the stock of goods de-
stroyed. He alleges that, owing to the
great depth OF snow on the ground at the
time of the fire, the firemen we're unable to
get the hose carts and engines on the
ground in time to be OF service in exiting
uishing the fire, the city having failed to
provide horses to haul the apparatus; in
negiecting to provide horses for this pur-
pose, plaintiff alleges that the city was re-
sponsible for the loss Of his goods, hence,
the suit.
If this suit Is successful several other
business firms, as well as insurance COM
panies who suffered loss by fires before
city authorities provided horses for the fire
department, will at once institute suits fol-
damages aggregating many thousands Of
dollars.
