A Strong Pressure.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Probably
because it was cabinet day and difficult
to get the ear of the president there
were few congressman at the White
House today, but they have in no de-
gree been relieved of anxiety as to the
fate of the seigniorage bill. The situa-
tion at the White House:presenting one
strong feature of novelty in the fact
that it appears to be the scene of q
bloodless battle just now between the
congressman on one hand, q large ma
jority of whom are urging the signing OF
the seigniorage bill, and the great COM
mercial interests of the country on the
other, for 20 out of every 80 of the COM
munications from them pray for the
veto of the bill. These communications
by mail and wire are coming from all
parts OF the country and are not, as
might be supposed, altogether of Sec
tional origin. For instance. there were
appeals for veto from Cincinnati, St.
Louis, San Francisco, etc.

ARID LANDS.
A Probably Favorable
Report on the Bill
Giving States and Terri
tories Each 100000
Acres = White House Sphinx
and the Seigniorage Bill.
The President Has Taken no Man
Into His Confidence as to the
Fate of the Measure

By the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, March 23.-The senate
committee on pu bile lands will proba-
bly, soon take up Carey's bill granting
to arid land states and territories ,000,-
900 acres each. The secretary of the
interior endorses the bill and the COM
missioner OF the general land Office has
written letter in which he takes an
advanced ground in favor of the i'm
provement of the arid regions by piac-
ing the work under the control of the
various states.
He says: 1.-THE building of irriga-
tion works has been found to be very
expensive, costing from $5 to $50 an
acre. Now that the land along the
water courses as rule has been taken
the question arises, how can lands diff
cult and expensive to irrigate be made
available to settlement? The people of
the states in which arid lands are To-
Gated would like to see the United
States undertake their reclamation.
This certainly is impracticable now and
it is doubtful whether it will ever be
otherwise.
"That additional legislation to induce
the reclamation and settlement of arid
lands is necessary, cannot be denied
and the entire acreage to be reserved
under the bill, if all states to which it
is applicable should avail themselves of
it's provisions, would not be as great as
each of the several states acquired un-
der the swamp acts. Congress may
well try the experiment here proposed.
The work is too vast to be undertaken
by the general government. Local and
community interest under state con-
troll will stimulate results with far
greater zeal and success. The prin-
cipal proposition involved IN the re-
clamation and settlement by indivi-
duals in small holdings meets my strong
approval and this bill seems to me to
present full opportunity for practi-
cal experiment and under proper
safe guards. The United States retains
the title until the reclamation is accom-
plished and the land is occupied by
actual settlers"
The states and territories to which
the bill would apply if it should become
law are Arizona, California, Colorado,
Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, North
Dakota, Oregon. South Dakota, Utah,
Washington and Wyoming.

Still in the Balance.

There are all sorts of stories afoat as
to the presidents disposition towards
the bill and some have gone to the
length of reciting that he has not
taken the mem bers of the cabinet into
his confidence and at the meeting today
the subject was discussed from all
points of view with distinct impress
sion in the minds of the members of
the cabinet that the president is still
open to conviction. He has up to and
including next Thursday to make up
his mind what to do with the bill and
there are indications that he proposes

Mai. Lewis Resigns to Go Into an
Insurance Business.
Maj. R. Allyn Lewis, for seven years
connected with the Arizona National
bank, and for the past year as assistant
cashier, has resigned. The resignation
will 60 into effect on April /. He has
been very efficient and active official
and made many warm friends among
those with whom his business relations
brought him.
He has abandoned the banking busi-
ness to associate himself with Terri
torial Auditor Boone in the general
management for the territory of the
New York Life Insurance company.
Mr.. Boone has already built up busi-
ness in life insurance second to none in
the territory and it's proportions have
become so great that his official duties
prevent him from giving it the neces.
sary attention. Maj. Lewis will devote
his entire time and excellent business
capacity to it's management.
Maj. Lewis's successor in the bank
will be Mr.. j. J. Sweeney, well known
as one of the most expert accountants
in the territory, q gentleman of fine
business qualification and one in whose
integrity the utmost confidence may be
placed.
