THE PIRATICAL VESSELS.
Circum stances Under Which They Were
Ordered Seized.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-Thursday, as
the result of an inquiry by telegraph.
the collector of customs at Wilmington,
California, was instructed by the treas
ury department that there appeared no
reason for his interference in the pros
pective transfer of lot OF arms and am
munition from the American schooner
Robert and Minnie, then at Catalina
island, to transport for shipment to
South America. Pending this removal
it appears the Chilean minister here re-
ceived some advicee from California re-
gardng these munitions of war, with
which he called on Secretary Foster,
Sunday. On the strength of the minis
ter's representations, the secretary sent
another telegram to the collector, the
substance of which, it is said at.the de-
partment, was to detain the boat. Sec
retary Foster today refused to give out
for publication the kilograms that have
passed between the department and the
collector with reference to the matter,
or to say anythingOn the subject fur
ther than that it has been referred to
the attorney general for an opinion.
The opinion asked for, it is said, is
whether it would be violation of the
neutrality laws to allow the transfer of
arms, etc., as proposed.
THE SUSPICIOUS CRAFT.
SAN DIEGO, CAL, May 6.-Early this
morning the vessel Robert and Minnie
was sighted lying. off San Diego harbor
in Mexican waters. The seizing party
who went out last night, returned with
out making an attempt to seize her, and
are now awaiting orders from the attor-
ney-general at Washington. The Itata
still lies in the stream ready for sailing.
1t is supposed that the Chilean war ship
seen yesterday, now turns out to have
been the Panama steamer New York,
which for some cause steamed to the en-
trance of the harbor.
MARSHAL CARDS ACTION EXPLAINED.
TACOMA, Wash, May 6.-The action
of the United States marshal at San
Diego, California, in seizing the Chilean
steamer Itata, is the result of tele-
graphic correspondence between the
president, Secretary Blaine and Attor-
ney-General Miller. The latter has
been authorized by the president to take
whatever steps he deems necessary to
ENFORCE strict compliance With the laws
of neutrality, in the case OF Chile, and
to seize all vessels found offending in
that respect within the jurisdiction OF
the United States.

new MEXICO LANDS.
G miisp, t on Them Suggested by the
Great Rush for Homes in okla
homa.

Denver Daily Sun: 1t is reported that
not one,hurdiedth part of the land in
New Mexico capable of being irrigated is
now utilized. Yet there were three
seekers. or rather rushers, for every
quarter section of the recently opened
Oklahoma lands. This is a conspicuous
showing of the result OF lack of informa-
ton. The lands of New Mexico, with
irrigation, are vastly more valuable than
those Of Oklahoma or any other portion
OF the Indian territory. They will pro-
duce much larger crops of the cereals
They will bear in large profusion all the
harder fruits and many of the semi
tropical. They can be converted into
rich gardens and vineyards. Their profit
able returns are sure from year to year.
The annual rise in the rivers that take
their sources in the snow-covered noun
tains never fails.
In many cases small holdings of from
ten to forty acres can be made to produce
as much as the lG0-aCre farms of the mid
die west, There is an assured hore
market for all that can be raised. The
cost of irrigation, divided among many
land owners, is small to each.
But these things are not known in the
country east CT the Missouri river, while the
Indian Territory has been advertised for
years as "the garden OF the world" Let
New Mexico make known what she has
to offer to the home seeke.s of the country
and her fertile valleys will soon commence
to fill I'D with an enterprisiny populstion.

No Eictitiuus Grain Deals.

Sr. PAUL, Oct. G-The supreme court
of Minnesota has handed down decision
OF first importance to grain gamblers,
which knocks out dealers in futures and
the lower courts in one sweeping blow.
The decision is far reaching, as it will en-
able those who get caught on boards OF
trade to repudiate their contracts unless
they bny and sell real grain.
The supreme court holds that contracts
for the sale and delivery Of gram or other
commodity to be delivered at n future day
are not per Sc unlawful when the parties
in good faith ints nd to perform them ac-
cordng to their terms. But contracts in
form for future delivery, not intended to
represent actual transaction, but merely
to pay and receive the difference between
the agr, ed per cent and the market at
future day, are in the nature OF wagers on
the future price and void.

Major Powell Talks.


Major J. w. Powell, chief of the U. S.
geological survey, is at Albuquerque and
made little. talk to the Albuquerque
Commercial club the other night. He
said that the time must soon come " hen
there will not be available water enough
in the valley to irrigate the land for q
hundred miles below Albuquerque, unless
it can be had by artesian wells. "This,'
he said, sis very serious question, and
it is even now confronting the people OF
those districts. can not see," SAID Major
Powell, "how it will ever be possible to
obtain enough water at Ell Paso or for $50
miles this side of there, for agricultural
purposes, or even to supply the needs OF
q city of moderate size. When this por-
ton of the Rio Grande valley becomes
settled up and developed as it must be in
a few years, that portion will be de-
stroyed.
President Marvel, of the A., T. & S. F.
road, was present and inquired whether
Major Powell did not consider it possible
to produce rainfall by artificial means,
sufficient to give an adequate water sup
ply to the district referred to.
To this Major Powell replied that up
to the present time there was nothing to
show that mankind knew of any way to
control the laws of nature. There had
been great deal of newspaper talk about
the government rain makers" and their
success, but there was no evidence upon
which to found belief that such expert
ments had caused the falling of a single
drop of water.
Mr.. Powell then defined at considerable
length the measures necessary to be
adopted by the government to regulate
and control the use and distribution oi
water in this country, and concluded
with the remark that the most important
subject of legislation in the future will
be the settlement and regulation Of water
rights.
