IRRIGATION SURVEYS.
Secretary Mobiles Reply to the Resolution
Aionted BY the Sanate

Secretary Mobiles Reply to the Resolution
Adopted by the Senate.
WASHINGTON, July 31.-An answer to the
inquiries in regard to irrigation surveys
contained in the recent Senate resolution
was sent to the Senate to-day by Secretary
Noble. He states that the Director of the
Geological Survey actually surveyed and
marked the boundaries and areas of the
sites for the reservoirs by him selected un-
der the act of 1888, aud the tracts are so
segregated and so marked that they can be
discovered on the ground and delineated OIL
the Land Office maps. OF the reservoir site
selections only so much land has in each
Instance been reserved as IS intended to be
used for the storage of water. 1t was not
intended, the Secretary says, that the sur
yeyS and selections under the act of 1888
should be carried to the extent Of planning
system Of canals, bitches, checks and fur
rows for the distribution of water over
farms which it is deemed that the people
when they come to cultivate these lands can
better DO themselves. The general purpose
and plan OF the department, the Secre tary
says, is to preserve the sources of the water
supply from the possession or approp ria
tion OF individuals or corporations. " 1t is
believed" lie says, "to be a duty to this de-
partment, so long as this statute remains,
to enforce 1t, and that its fruits, at least in
the preservation Uf the sources and reser-
voirs OF water, may be kept under either
national or State governmental control"

THE WORLDS FAIR.


SPRINGFIELD. July 31.-The Chicago
the lake front and jackson Park site for
the Worlds Fair, and which was supposed
last night to have a majority of the Judici-
ary Committee, received another setback
this morning, when the subcommittee
report in favor Of striking out the section
providing for the issue of 100000 Park
bonds was rejected by vote Of II to 13, and
the minority report to add a clause to the
section that would provide that the ques-
tiOn of issuing bonds shall first be submitted
to a vote of the people of the Park district
was adopted. The section was also amended
so as to provide that the amount of bonds
should be S1,000,000 instead of 100000.
In the House the Judiciary Committee
reported back the Worlds Fair Bill, which
was taken up and read a second time and
most of the amendments OF the Judiciary
Committee adopted. The amendment pro-
viding for the enforcement of the eight
hour law among the abOTers on the build
ings, and that none but citizens of the
United States should be employed, was
nnaly adopted, in spite of the warning of
one of the members that the adoption Of
this clause meant the turning over Of the
Worlds Fair to the walking delegate, and
that in this case "hell would be to pay"
The Senate and House reached an agree
ment on the Constitutional amendment
resolution, and it now goes to the Cover
nor. The House amended the Worlds Fair
Bill, adding, after IA bitter debate, provisO
that eight hours shall constitute a days
labor ON all work about the exposition, the
exhibitors to be exempt. There was an
other bitter fight on proposition to allow
the South Park Commissioners to issue
bonds for S20C0,000, to be used in fitting up
Jackson Park for the fair, this, in addi-
tlon to the S., 1000, 600 to be issued by the city
of Chicago. 1t was finally amended so as to
make the amount of the park bonds 5000, coo
instead of S2,00O,000, and the bill then went
to third reading.
1t is reported tonight that vigorous war
will be waged in the Senate tomorrow on
the eight-hour clause of the bill on the
ground that it is special legislation and un-
constitutional.

THE HOUSE.
An Investigation of Charges of Corruption
Den:ed-sundry Civil Bill

WASHINGTON, July 31,-In the House to-
day Oates of Alabama. rising to question
of privilege, offered Il resolution for an in
vestigation Of the charges of corruption
against the members of the House. con-
tanned in a recent editorial in the National
Economist.
After some discussion the Speaker ruled
the resolution privileged one. On doing
so he said the editorial was of the vaguest
character. 1t made no assertion except by
inference. 1t made no statement upon
which anybody could be expected to predi-
cate belief or conviction. 1t was within
the knowledge of every member that para
graphs of this character were floating
around in the newspapers of the country.
The House could see the Inconvenience
VIII ieh would result to the business of the
House if any member had a right on the
publication of paragraph like this to de-
mand an investigation.
The House sustained the decision of the
Chair, an appeal having been taken by
Oates-ayes %, noes II.
The House then went into committee of
the whole on The Senate amendments to
the Sundry Civil Bill.
The Senate irrigation amendment was
finally non-cOncurred III. The committee
then rose and the House adjourned without
dispOsing of the bill.
