A RIPARIAN DISPUTE.
Secretary Proctor Trying to Decide
a Rio Grande Ditch Matter.


WASHINGTON, February S.-Secretary
Proctor today gave hearing to the dis
putations in respect to the claim OF GER
tain parties to the rights to open a new
irrigating ditch from the Rio Grande
river through Fort Selden reservation,
New Mexico. Arguments were made by
Senator Reagan, Delegate Joseph and
w .Llewellyn representing the opposing
interests. The question involves differ
ent interstate and international problems,
since both Texas and Mexico are inter-
ested. The opposition to the new ditch
comes from the owners of number OF
old Mexican ditches. These people claim
that there is not enough water for
the new ditch, which is to be opened
some distance above them all. Major
Anson Mills, of the Tenth Cavalry. made
report to the Secretary on conflicting
rights. He said: "Now with reference
to the construction of this new ditch |
am of the opinion that if there should
always be sufficient water In
the river for the new oltch
and all the others having prior
rights,eit would gradually absorb the
older bitches by reason of it's greater and
more certain capacity it's higher line and
economical advantages. But II there
should not be sufficient water In the
river for them all there will be struggle
| fos existence among them, and some
will have to be abandoned. The Secre
tary has deferred his decissiod in the
matter until he receives an answer to
letter he sent to Major Powell asking hi
opinion.

WANTS TO SERVE FRANCE.
The Duke of Orleans Insists ON the
Purity of his Motives. ss

PARIS, February 8.-The Due Dor
leans, arrested yesterday, occupies a
comfortable apartment in the Concier-
gerie prison. The Duchess De Chartres
and Princess Marguerite, aunt and cousin
of the Duke, and other friends, will be
permitted to visit him. The Minister of
the Interior has given orders that he be
treated with distinction. The Monarchist
members of the Chamber of Deputies
decided to interpellate the Government
as to it's reason for imprisoning the Duke.
The Cabinet decided to strictly enforce
the provisions of the expulsion law
against the Duke.
The Duke was taken before the Tri.
bunal Of the Seine today and charged
with a fagrant violation of the laws
banishing from France pretenders to the
throne. He SAID he came to France to
perform military duties. He asked for
an adjournment to allow him to instruct
his counsel. The court adjourned the
hearing until Wednesday.
AT the conclusion OF the judicial in
quiry, Constans will reply to the Mon
archist Interpolation in the Cham Der of
Deputies. He will state that the Gov
ernment merely executed the law, the
provisions OF which are precise. He will
explain to the Chamber Article AZ of the
law of exile, which enacts that no menu
ber of the Orleans family shall enter the
army. 1t does not mention the grade
from which they are debarred, and the
Cabinet will therefore not admit the
argument of the Duke that he could join
the army as private.

ter to President Carnot, appealing for
permission to serve his country.
