she signal Service Called 20 Report
Upon Climate, Vegetation, Etc.


Upon Climate, Vegetation, Etc.
A resolution adopted by Congress, re-
quests the Secretary of War to transmit
70 the House of Representatives, the
reports of the Signal Service upon the
climate of the arid region, with the
views OF the Chief Signal Officer as to the
Importance Of tables of temperature,
precipitation, evaporation, etc, and
their bearing upon the subject of irriga.
ton and water storage. 10 accordance
with the resolution, the Chief Signal
Otfcer desires to obtain information
regarding the products of the arid region,
the water supply, etc. For example, it
is important to know in connection with
the cultivation of alfalfa, for instance,
the number of crops that are usually pro
duced, times of cutting and dates that
water is essential. Farmers will confer
great favor on George d. Boucher,
Signal Officer here, by furnishing such
information, giving the name of the
valley, the number of acres it contains
and the number Of acres that can be
irrigated by bitches leading from streams
in the vicinity and the acreage that car
probably be irrigated from storaQ.
reservoirs. Ii lie desirable also that tbs
character and depth Of soil be given; the
indigenous growth in the irrigable lands
the number Of miners inches of water
usually required to irrigste a quarter
section in grain, 10 alfalfa and in fruits,
and also what the staple crops are.

FREE COINAGE.
The House Committee Reports Against
ONE OF THE s

It.
WASHINGTON, June 25.-The Coinage
Committee presented report recon-
mending that the House non concur in
each and all of the Senate amendments
to the Silver bill:
Bland, of Missouri, moved that che
House concur in them. On this PROPOSE
tion the debate began.
Conger defended the action of his com.
mittee, saying it bad reported wise and
conservative measure. Ii the bullion re-
demption feature was stricken out then
the Government was placed in the posi-
ton of buying gold and silver bullion
and paying for it in silver coin, for that
was the only money provided for the
purpose. Now free coinage meant q
profit OF $l3. 600. 900 year to the bullion
owners of the country. He wished his
colleagues could understand the pressure
that has been brought to bear by men
interested in silver legislation. Not only
have they paid lobbyists who have been
plying their vocation here, but various
other means have been resorted to by
silver epeculators to procure legislation.
Pool after pool has been organized in this
city to speculate 10 silver. Money has
been deposited in banks in this country
by hundreds and hundreds of thousands
ready to purchase bullion as soon as this
legislation should pass. If free coinage
bill passed Congress the United States
would fix value of 80 per cent above
what silver was worth. In conclusio
Conger said if there was no silver legis-
lation. the responsibility would rest upon
the advocates OF free coinage, because the
delay up to this time rested largely upon
their shoulders.
Bland knew nothing about any lobby
He had not seen it and had never heard
Of it. If speculative pools had been or
ganized they might have been founded
upon the belief in the passage of the
House bill because it opened the door to
the widest speculation. One day there
might be ten millions in the treasury and
the next day not million. He criticized
the House bill in other respects He
was for free coinage, but if he could not
get it he would vote for this bill if he
could get two amendments, one provid-
ing that the notes outstanding should not
be limited to the cost price of bullion
and that the notes should be redeemed
in coin.
Townsend, of Colorado, said that fir Q
coinage was the only way to secure a
stable financial system, but if he could
not get free coinage he would vote for
this 4, 500, 900 bill as offering considerable
improvements on the present condition.
The report of the committee was
adopted. the House refusing to concur in
the Senate amendments.

WITH LOSS OF LIFE.
Burning of the Spring Palace in Fort

Worth, Texas.
FoEr WpErH, Tex, Spccial.-Thc Texas
Spring Palace was burned to the ground to-
night. One lie WAS lost and five
persons were injured. The loss is
estimated at 100000. President Byr-

lent aid to the hurrying women on the
staircase, and Sleichcr dropped out

been fatally burned. Several persons were Sc
io,lSly injured hv being tramplcd or

whether tho loss of life is large or not, but
many think none were burned. Again
many fear that ut least twenty-five persons
have pcrishcd, and some even place the
number larger. All estimates are merely
conjccturcd at this writing.
