struction has been sent to the minister
commencing his action in 30 far as it lay
within the purvisw OF standing instruc-
tions to the legation and to the naval
commanders Of the United States in Ha-
waiian waters, and led to cooperate
with administration Of affairs by the
provisional government, but disavOwing
sny step in excess Of such instructions
whereby the authority and power OF the
United States might appear to have been
asserted to the impairment Of the inde-
pendent sovereignty Of the Hawaiian
government by the assumption OF q
formal protectorate."
Secretary Foster says the provisions OF
the treaty reserve to congress determins-
tion OF all questions affecting the form Of
government OF the annexed territory, the
citizenship and elective franchise OF it's
inhabitants, and all questions relating to
the economic and political.Ststus OF the
islands.
In conclusion, he says that pending me-
gotistion, he received assurances from
representatives Of the leading powers OF
the world in this city and from our own
ministers abroad, convincing him that
the incorporation Of the Hawaiian is
lands in the union would be regarded by
these powers with satisfaction or ready
acquiessence. After reciting in detail
the reasons for o treaty becoming effeC-
tive, the document ssstes that the high
contracting parties, the United States Of
America and the provisional government
of Hawaii, have conferred full power
and authority upon their respectively ap-
pointed plenipotentisries.

Engines and Threaherg.

In another column will be seen the Rd-
vertisement of the Minneapolis engine
and Victory separator. The engine is Of
the return flue boiler type, and conceded
by all first-class machinists to be very
strong and durable. The manufacturers
guarantee that this engine will save one
third of the fuel over a straight draft
engine. The engine is provided with
steel wheels, which are very broad and
light, consequently it is calculated to 90
through the soft ground whore thresher-
men very frequently are compelled to go.
The separator is very strongly built, and
is guaranteed to do as good work as any
machine in the United States. We be-
speak for the Minneapolis engine and
thresher that wherever they become
known they will become very popular
with men who have threshing to do. We
can recommend Mr.. G. J. Ferguson, Of
Kansas City, Mo-, as being an upright
and honorable dealer and man who
can be depended upon as representing
what he believes to be true. He assures
us that their self. feeder has been thor
oughly tested and has proven very sue
cessful machine.

them at 40 cents hundred. No docu-
ment is worth more to be circulated

Irrigation.

Many Of the states and territories west
Of Kansas have extensive acreRges under
successful and profitable irrigation.
Foremost in the list may be mentioned
Californis, with over 100000 acres irri-
gated, and Colorado, with almost 1000,
OOO. Either of these states has more
land under irrigation than any three
other states of the union, and whyH Be-
cause Colorado provided, years ago, for
a competent state engineer to inVesti-
gate the problems Of irrigation and water
supply, and because California did like
wise and placed 100000 at the state
englneer's disposal. The reports Of those
engineers have been the means Of at
tracing many millions Of capital INTO
irrigation development Of otherwise bar
rem lands, and the extreme change
brought over these lands from absolute
barrenness to profitable produCtivenesS
is too well known to need expansion in
these columns.
It seems to US that the irrigation ques-
tion has not received the attention in
Kansas which its Importance to the west
half Of the state land consequently to the
whole state) demands. We are prob
ably safe in saying that there are 10,OOO,-
900 acres in the west half Of the state
which are comparatively unproductive
and which are susceptible Of profitable
development by irrigation contingent,
Of course, upon the possibility Of obtain
ing, at q reasonable cost, an adequate
supply Of water, either from the Rockies,
by the reservoir system, from our nat
ural streams or by bringing the sub-soil
currents or "underAow" to the surface
by artificial channels or pumps.
Two years ago all the papers in the
state were full Of irrigation literature
and recommendations. The result wsE
that the Kansas legislature memorial
lied congress, asking that the United
States government come to her relief
but this feeble venture has not settled
nor thrown any light upon, the ques-
ton TO which we want an answer-i. q,
water supply. A similar memorial has
recently been prepared for forwarding 10
