It is generally believed in Germany
that the emperor's real object in making
advances to Prince Bismarck was to in
duce the ex-chancellor to give mp num-
ber Of letters which he wrote to him dur
ir ; the illness Of the Emperor Freder-
lex. The present emperor then treated
Prince Bismarck with unbounded con-
fideuce, and it is supposed that he was
indiscreet in some of his communications
to the chancellor.

LIMIT OF AMERICAN RIGHTS
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

PARIS. May 25.-Sir Charles Russell
continued his argument in behalf of the
British case to-day before the Bering Sea
tribunal of arbitration. He argued against
the United States forbidding foreigners to
catch seals outside Of territorial waters,
and put emphasis on the statement that
American law even to-day does not make
sealing inside of Bering Sea Illegal The
United States regarded pelagic sealing as
wrong outside OF Bering Sea alone.
TicToRIA, B. c.. May 25.-Victorians
have for several days past been lookin @
Tor some official Information confirming or
contradicting the announcement that
Bering Sea would this year be declared
open to the sealing fleet. The expected
Intimation came to-day. and it is quite
sufficient to confirm the guess hazarded by
sealing men when the San Francisco tele-
gram was received nnouncng the termi-
nation of the modus viyendi, that it was a
fake.
Collector of Customs a. r. Milne this
afternoon received telegram, however,
from William Smith, Deputy Minister of
Marine at Ottawa, stating that sealing in
Bertng Sea will be prohibited until May,
1894. and requesting him to notify the seal
ers accordingly. The notification states
that the continuation of the modus is sub
lect to orders in council which may sub
seQuently be issued by the Imperial Cabi-

a report was floating around yesterday
that Signor Gentinl, ex-Italian Consul at

Of this city, among them DIR. Joseph

Calegaris. druggist, out of $1,000 each, and
that it was the gentlemen named at whose
instance he was arrested. They were seen
last night and gave an emphatic denial TO
the sensational features of the story.
''it is true" said DR.. Pesca, THAT Signor
Gentini was in this city ana told some OF
US that ne was on intimate terms of friend
snip with President Diaz. Through that
friendship he assured us that he could OBJ

tages in the purchase of land and other
sources of investment He Induced some

FRAY his expenses in Mexico while carrying
on the negotiations. but the amount alto

not heard from him or of him since, nor do
we care whether we do or not We know

Special to THE MORNING CALL.

WASHINGTON, MAY 25.-1he Spanish
Princess and suite left for New York at 10
o'clock this morning. The Princess was
driven to the depot in the Presidents

of cavalry.
NEW YORK. May 25.-The Spanish
lnfanta is tine guest of the metropolis.
Despite short delay. owing to hot box.
her special train pulled into Jersey City
on time at 8 o'clock, and the Princess
alghted, showing in no wise the effects of
her journey.
Awaiting her arrival was a special COM
mittee, consisting of: General Horace
Porter, Howard Carroll. Cornelius n.
Bliss. Whitelaw Reid, Colonel S. V.
Cruger. Comptroller Myers and Joseph j..
O'Donohue. General Porter escorted her
to her carriage, and they were driven to
the wharf, where the STEAMBOAT General
Slocum was m0ored. When the Infanta' S
party and the members of the committee
boarded the Slocum the Spanish warship
1nfanta Isabel began firing the national
salute of twenty-one guns, at the same
Time manning her yards and parading the
marines on the quarter deck.
During the sail up the river the party
received an ovation, salutes being ex-
changed with hundreds of river craft. AS
the Brazilian man-of- war Republican, and
Aquideban were passed the yards of the
two big warships were manned and salutes
were fired. Further up lay the New York

a procession, headed by mounted band,
was formed and marched along Thirty
fourth street to the Hotel Savoy. Along
the entire route the Princess received the
most enthusiastic reception, which she
most gracefully acknowledged. The
streets were liued with people and from
the windows OF many houses Spanish and
American flags were flying.

Mr.. Mcclellan, president of the Municipal

The Princess replied. quietly: 81 am
very pleased at the graciousness of your
reception and can find nothing to say ex-

The royal party then retired to their
apartments. This evening the Spanish
colony marched up Fifth avenue with
torches burning and headed by band.
They began their serenade with stirring
Spanish airs under the Infanta's window.

with salvos of applause. Senor Flores,

WHERE WATER is KING.
Vast Irrigation Scheme on Foot in
the Colorado Desert.

lhS SOiOi ddO DCSClks
SAN DIEGO. May 25.-Maps and plans
of the Colorado irrigation district have
just been received and for the first time
indicate the full scope Of the work. The
map of the canals and bitches shows that
water will be taken from the Colorado
River near Yuma and at an elevation Of
200 feet above the sea. The main canal
will carry water from Yuma almost d.
rectly west to the foothills near Jacumba,
when the canal, following the western
foothills, turns nOrthward to point seven
miles northwest OF IndiO, where it crosses
the Southern Pacific track and from there
runs eastward and north of the Southern
Pacific to Flowing Wells, where it again
crosses the track by a southern turn.
which brings 1t back into the Indians re-
serve country. Side canals are aso mapped
out. One Of considerable length reaches
into Lower California, and another makes
off from the main canal and enters bay-
like formation of the desert, approaching
San Felipe.
These plans show the flow of water to
be exactly the reverse OF what was pre-
yiously reported. The snpposition was
that the canal would Lead out on the north
side of the Southern Pacific track and fol-
low the foothills from there to Indio, and
then southwark.
OF course, the story that the Salton Sea
is to be used as reservoir is exploded bv
the map. The Salton Sea is $50 feet be w
the sea level, and. as water refuses to run
uphill. it would be lost it once impounded
in that hole.
The figures show that when the canals
are constructed a total of 2,276, 200 acres
will be subject to irrigation, all now desert.
OF the total area l, 797, 100 acres lie in San
Diego County. and S7S 0S0 acres in Lower
California, but tributary to San Diego.
Such transformation from barren d, sert
to the highest fertility is like the finding
OF a new country larger than Rhode Island
and Delaware combined.
