LONDON, Feb. 14.-Mr. Davis, former
ly consul at Honolulu for Great Brit
ain, said in an interview Sunday that
the provisional government of Hawaii
was composed of men of prudence, in
telligence and property. The accession
of the Princess Kailulani to the throne,
he says, is the true solution of the pres
ent trouble, as the Hawaiians would
never consent to annexation. He thinks
it a pity that England did not interfere
in the government of the islands some
time ago and thus avert the present
crisis

Want the Silver Purchase Act Eepeaied.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-Diligent efforts
will be made by the New York banks
to induce President Harrison to send
special message to congress urg-
ing that bill repeating tho sill
yer purchase act be passed The effort
to induce Secretary of the Treasury
Foster to issue $50, 900, 900 of bonds was
continued Sunday, and will be resumed
Monday. 1t is thought he will do it.
These are the two means by which
Wall street expects relief. There will
be an important conference at the sub
treasury in Wall street Monday morn
ing between Secret ary Foster and the
presidents of the principal Wall street
banks. The secretary intended to re-
turn Sunday, but deferred his departure
in order to meet the heads of the big
banks.
Some of the bank presidents called
upon Mr.. Foster and talked about the
gold situation to-day. President H. W..
McCannon, of the Chase national bank,
and others who saw him, came away
with impression that the secretary is
not inclined to sell bonds to replenish
the gold supply, for the reason that the
present administration has only three
weeks more of life, and as it would re-
quire two weeks notice in advance
of the sale, there would scarcely be
time

AN IRRIGATION SCHEME.
The Desert OF the Aiojave Country to Bios
som as the Rose.


Los ANGELES Cal, Feb 14-Plans
have been natured for one of the great
est irrigation schemes ever undertaken
in the United States, the result of
which will be the reclamation of
large portion of the Mojave desert.
Representatives of Minnesota capital
lists have obtained from the Nesperia
Land and Water Co. an option on the
water right and dam site at Victoria
narrows on the Southern California
railway, about fifty miles north of San
Bernardino.
Here, where high granite precipices
approach each other, a great dam will
be built, 475 feet high and rs to $50 feet
long, blocking the current of the
Mojave river and forming great lake
which, it is estimated, will irrigate
a quarter of million acres of govern
ment land opened to settlers in the
usual way
The company proposes to charge $40
an acre for water, allowing one inch to
five acres, and will agree to buy back
whatever land settlers care to sell at
$50 an acre. A long time will be given
for payments The cost Of the enter
prise is estimated at 81, 800, 600. Several
thousand dollars have already been ex-
pended in surveys.
The scheme would necessitate the re-
moval to another location a short dis
lance westward eight miles of the track
Of the Southern California railroad,
which now runs through the narrows
This, of course, the water company
would have to pay for. 1t is believed
that most of the land would be settled
in a short time by colonists from the
east and a garden spot be created in
what is now one of the most desolate
spots in the United States. A few ir-
rigated sections in the neighborhood
have proved the marvellous fertility of
the soil under irrigation.

case may be. Then he devours the sol

health improves, the god is appeased. If
sickness still creeps over him, he turns
