ARID LANDS.
Large Areas Reclaimed by Irrigation in the
United States.

Large Areas Reclaimed by Irrigation in the
United States.
WASHINGTON. April 19.-Special Agent
Richard j. Hinton's report on irrigation
throughout the arid lands OF the United
States will be issued in a few days. The
investigation was carried on under the
direction Of the Agricultural Department
and was authorized by Congress in 1890.
The report Is interesting. A line drawn
north and south through the middle of
North Dakota to and through the middle OF
Texas forms the eastern boundary of the arid
regions. More land than is now under cul-
tivatlOn in the entire country lies In these
regions. There are millions of acres which
need only to be irrigated to make them
wonderfully productive. In the LAST 10
years enough progress has been made in
irrigation in California, Utah, Colorado,
New Mexico, Montana, Idaho and Ari-
plan.
In the last seven years the United States
has increased its area of irrigable land by
3,500,000 acres. but the greater activity is
seen in the growth Of important hydraulic
works.
The amount Of land under ditch" is re-
ported for 1891 to be of an estimated area OF
1S. PSI, 207 acres. The largest proportion of
this will be made available for use in the
next year, and by the time Of the opening
of the Worlds Fair the United States may
anticipate the cultivation by means of irri-
CATION of at least 17,000, 900 acres OF land
that within the last decade has been de-
clared by learned authority wholly ire
ciaimable. Under projected works. or par
TALLY constructed, nearly 5, ,000. 900 acres will
be added, making in all as now reclaimed or
in process Of reclamation not less than
25. 00Q, coo acres.
At present California is at the front in
the matter Of horticultural products, but
the rapid growth of fruit culture, as stimu-
lated by irrigation and active profits, is
areas OF Colorado, New Mexico, North
western Montana, Eastern Washington,
Southwestern Idaho and South Central

short time after the alarm was given in the
Northwestern Wire Mattress Company's

Der piles adjoining. The Kencsha fire en-

PERSIA'S POLICY.

q Large Loan Obtained From Russia 10 Pay
an English Indemnity.
LONDON, April IA dispatch from
Teheran says it is rumored that Russia has
offered an advance to Persia of $500, 900 at 6
Per cent, to enable the Government to pay
the Imperial Tobacco Corporation of Per-
sia QimIted). an English company, the in
demnity promised for the withdrawal of
the tobacco monopoly granted to that COM
paDy. thus liberatiDg Persia from all Pc
cuniary obligation to Great Britain. The
offer will likely be accepted. Persia will
offer the customs receipts of the country
as security for the loan. The opponents OF
British influence in Persia predict the
speedy annihilation OF such influence in
the country. The granting OF the fob acco
monopoly has aroused great indignation in
Persia. The mollahs, or priests, started a
crusade against the Government, and a
number of serious disturbances have oc-
CURED. The priests forbade the use OF to-
bacco, and their orders were universally
obeyed. Finally the Government, yielding
TO the popular agitation, Cancelled the con-
cession. 1t was agreed to pay the company
holding the monopoly 100000. That
amount Russia now offers to advance. This
offer and its probable acceptance is taken
as another indication of growing Russian
influence in Persia.

BOGUS HEIR.
Henry C. Chester Of Happy Camp Said to Be-
the Wrong Man.

Henry C. Chester Of Happy Camp Said to Be-
the Wrong Man.
New YORK. April 19-Link by link,
proofs are being obtained by the Advertiser
that render complete the chain of evidence
which will establish the fact that
Henry C.. Chester of California Is not
brother of the late Louise Chester of
Brooklyn aud IS not an heir and is there
fore not entitled to share the estate Of
brother OF the late Miss Chester is
not at ali like Henry G.. The con-
clusion Is irresistible that the fellow
from Happy Camp has fraudulently
represented his status and has thus swindled
the Louise Chester estate out of S2i11 ~.
The real brother of Miss Chester died in
1865. and the Californian has personated
h i'm with great success. The dead brother
was born with five fingers and
thumb on one hand and six toes on
the foot, but the Californian did not know
this curious fact, or took chances in press
Ing his lmposture. Whether he managed to
deceive Charles III. Otis, attorney for the
Public Administrator of Brooklyn. is not posi-
lively known, but that Otis should put S2i,-
600 In his pocket aud start for California to
find the heir and pay him tine money is
deemed one of the queerest transactions
connected with the matter.
The names OF the father, mother and
sister OF the late Miss Chester have also
peeh uisco'eTeu, anu 40 not correspond at
all with the sworn statement of Henry c.
Chester, the heir Of Happy Camp. Owing
to the fact that George b. Abbott, former
Public Administrator and Surrogate, is
interested in this case, the petition
Tor reopenlng the matter cannot be con-
sidered by him. The proceeding must come
before County Judge Henry A. Moore OF
Brooklyn. and when the evidence OF fraud
is presented he will decide about setting
aside final settlement Of the accounts Ii
the evidence IS sufficient and the final
aside, 1t will follvw that the money paid to
Henry c. Chester of California will have to
be refunded. Who will pay this sum into
court Is not known at present, but the re-
sponsible party in the matter seems to be
OTIS. In the meantime. the bogus heir.
baving pocketed the money, has skipped for

tied by treasury agent, but were found to
have not closed a contemplated trade with
Liebes' agent. Seizures of goods that have
escaped full duty at San Francisco are ex-
pected at Cincinnati, st. Louis, Detroit and
Minneapolis. Enormous quantities OF con-
trabanj tobacco are believed to have been
disposed Of In Chicago. Liebes & Co. and
the purchasing firm are not charged with
the guilt OF participation in the frauds. The
San Francisco importers are being held as
culprits.

RECIPROCITY.
Closer Relations With Mexico Sought by the
United States


WASHINGTON, April 19.-The House Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs to-day took action
looking to the further enlargement Of the
reciprocity policy recently entered upon on
an extensive scale by the United States.
This time the republic of Mexico Is the
country with which IL is proposed to
enter into closer commercial relations.
and the committees recommendation Is
accompanied by joint resolution and an
interesting report; In which is an exhibition
OF the benefits to result to each country
from reciprocal trade relations in certain
commodities. The resolution, the passage
OF which the committee recommends, pro-
yldes Tor joint reciprocity commission on
the part Of Mexico and the United States.
II requests the President to invite the Gov
ernment OF the republic of Mexico to
designate three commissioners, who
shall meet three commissioners for the
United States, who shall be designated
by the President, and negotiate O
treaty. whereby greater reciprocity in COM
mercal relations between Mexico and the
United States shall best be established.
The President Is not to appoint the commits
siOners on the part of the United States un-
til Mexico shall have signified her willing
ness to enter into such treaty and has ap-
pointed commissioners. The report sug-
gests that the concessions on the part OF the
United States, which will probably be of
mutual advantage. will be the removal Of
the duty on lead ores and the admission OF
wool free Of duty.

THE RUSTLERS' WAR.
Government officials Fear No Trouble, but
iii Communication Cut OF.

WASHINGTON. April 19.-The rustlers'
trouble in Wyoming was the principal
topic of discussion at the meeting of the
Cabinet to-day. The situation is regarded
as serious in view of the bitter feeling
against the prisoners in charge of the mill
tary and also because of the freely expires ssed
threats of the desperate men that they
mean to avenge the killing of Champion
and Ray at the first opportunity. No word
has been received from Colonel Van Horn
and his captives at Fort Mckinney since Sat
urday. when he telegraphed General Brooke
at Omaha that he would start that day
for Douglass to turn the prisoners over to the
civil authorities. Efforts to communicate
with Fort Mckinney and its vicinity since
have failed, and this has led to the belief
that the ruStlerS have destroyed the tele-
graphic communication in order to prevent
the authorities from learning the true situ-
alton until after they have accomplished
their purpose.
General Brooke telegraphed to-day that he
did not anticipate any trouble en- route.
General Schofield said he felt no un easiness,
as there is no reason Why the soldiers should
be attacked and he Is confident of their
ability to protect themselves and their
prisoners. 1t is understood that orders have
been given to re-estabiish telegraphic COM
munication with the scene OF the trouble as
soon as possible.

FavorabIe Report on tbs Proposed Meeting

NEW YORK, April 19.-The Journal of
Commences special from London says: At
the session OF the governors of the Bank Of
England long report has been considered,
bearing on the proposed international mon
etary conference. The report is in the form
of statements showing the exact position
taken by every Government having an in
terest in it. OF course the substance as
well as the form OF the report is closely
guarded, but upon suthority entirely trust

edly favorable. One surprise Of the report is
In the declaration that Germany is ready to
