From Trying to Stop the Colorado
Overfiow-A Question for the Courts.

WASHINGTON, July. 20.-Acting Secre-
tary Chandler of the interior depart
ment recently received a letter from Mr..
Wood Mcknight of Riverside, Califor-
MIA, calling attention to the report that
the Southern Pacific railroad company
was about to attempt to stop the over
flow of the Colorado river, which has
formed new lake ia the Colorado des-
ert, the property of the company being
jeopardized, and requesting that the de-
partment intervene in behalf of the in
terests of the people OF Southern Cali
fornia, whom it is presumed the new
body of water will greatly benefit. Mr..
Chandler has replied that the matter re.
ferred to is not within the jurisdiction
of the department, and that the remedy
of the people against any actual or an
ticipated injury from the operations of
the railroad company in protecting its
property, lies in the courts.

PHILADELPHIA, July 20.-Another story
of queer financiering came out today.
The National Bank of the Republic, of
New York, recently entered suit here
against Ephraim Turland to recover the
amount due on certain promissory notes,
of which Turland was the maker. In
the affidavit Of the defense filed today,
Turland says he never received any
value of any kind from the note, it
having been obtained from him by
fraud and Misrepresentation on the
part of President Kennedy of the Spring
Garden bank. At the time of the money
stringency he was one OF the directors of
the bank, which has since failed, and
Kennedy represented to him that, owing
to the stringency of the money market,
the bank was a borrower of cash,
temporarily from the clearing house un-
til their assets matured, and in view of
this fact it would be wise to strengthen
the loans by deposit of special COM
mercial paper, and for this purpose
Turland made the note in question, and
several more, on Kennedy's promise
that the paper would be protected at
maturity and returned. Turland goes
on to say that he now knows that Ken
nedy and two other directors had bor-
rowed $3.50, 900 of the capital stock of
the bank, and in conclusion, that the
books of the bank were criminally falsi-
fed to deceive the bank examiner.

willing to Swear To.
New YORK, July 20.-Speaking today
of the statement by Senator Quay that
he had decided to resign the chairman
ship of the Republican national COM
mittee Immediately after the election,
Hon ]. S. Clarkson said: II am able
to state this is true. Immediately after
the election Quay stated to his col
leagues of the executive committee, that
he had decided to resign as chairman ;
that he did not desire to do the detail
work, and still more, he felt that a
United States senator ought not to be
chairman of the national COM
mittee or any political committee.
His colleagues resisted this, and
persuaded him not to resign. He re-
newed his wish three or four months af-
terwards, and about the time of the in
auguration, insisted upon it. The
judgment of the committee was opposed
to it. The senator was only changed
from his purpose by the advice and ap-
peal of his colleagues. His health was
frail at times, and he desired to be rid OF
the burden superimposed. When his
health failed in the senate and he went
to Florida on his annual fishing tour, he
stated to me then his unaltered deter
mination to resign"

the Merchants National bank of that
place has closed, and is in the hands of
the bank examiner. Assets, 81 200, 900 !;

TOO MUCH WATER.
A Break In the Galloway Canal Causes q
Bad Overflow.

BAKERSFIELD, CAL, July 20.-On SUM-
day afternoon the Galloway canal broke
its south bank about four miles below
ats head. The break is supposed to have
been caused by gopher holes. The
canal is 120 feet wide, with a current of
two miles per hour, carrying 900 cubic
feet of water per second. The crevasse
was soon 200 feet wide. The tor
rent ran between the cross-canal and
ditch drain, both of which carried of
considerable water, confining the rest OF
the food between their banks. Head
gates have been put in. Two hundred
acres of land are under water, including
800 acres of choice vineyard belonging to
J. d. Brown, A. A. Wells and Captain
James Thrcop, and unless the water is
soon drawn off the vines will be total
loss. The residents of the neighbor-
hood, with teams, are at work, today,
chiefly trying to drain the overflow into
the river. The damage may reach $685.
