We discovered and marked another

The two travellers had each spent

The session of the National Irrigation Con-
gress which will be held in Denver, Septem-
Der 3-1O, will be the most important meeting
In the history of irrigation. Commissions
have been appointed by all the states inter
ested in the subject, which will present re-
ports to the convention relative to recon-
mendation by the Congress, of laws, both
state and national, covering all points OF the
subject. The irrigation laws Of the various
states and territories differ go widely that
much expensive litigation is continually In
progress, vastly increasing the cost OF irriga-
tion and deterrlng capital from Investment In
the stocks and bonds Of irrigation companies.
The subject of government appropriations
for reclamation of arid lands by construction
OF storage reservoirs, sinking OF wells, etc.,
also government experiments in the matter Of
best and most economical systems to be used,
will receive careful attention. The ceding

THE TARIFF BILL.

WASHINGTON June 1S.-Mr. Hill NOV
ed in the senate today to place coal on
the free list and made a speech in sup
port of free coal and the redemption of
Democratic pledges.
The senate today after some routine
business entered on the 18th week of the
tariff debate. The temperature was
sweltering, the mercury standing 81 in
the chamber
At the request of Mr.. Plat the para
graphs 288 and 289 of the silk schedule
passed over Saturday were again passed
over today aud schedule M.-pulp, pa
per and boOks-was taken up.
Mr.. Ferry protested against the first
paragraph of the schedule placing duty
of 100 per ent on mechanically ground
wood pulp and chemical wood pulp,
bleached or unbleached.
The production of wood pulp, said Mr..
Frye, was enormous industry, en-
ploying 10000 men, turning out a pro-
duct valued at 100000 annually, and
paying annual wage of S23, 100000.
Under the operation of the present duty
the cost of paper had greatly decreased.
Wood pulp had decreased in price from
Az cents per pound to Ia cents in
the last ten years. 1t was produced in
twenty nine states, but principally in
Maine and New York. He appealed to
to the other side to make the duty speci-
fic instead of advalorem and proposed an
amendment to substitute equivalent
specific rates, say So.
An amendment to substitute equivalent
specific rates say $3.50 per ton. on wood
pulp, mechanically ground, chemical
wood pulp. unbleached So per ton and
BILE ached 5000 per ton.
The Democratic members of the
finance committee refused TO accept the
amendment and it was rejected 20-23
1t was not until coal was reached that
opposition developed. The house bill
placed coal on the free list. The finance
committee amendment duty placed a
duty of 40 cents per ton on bituminous
coal and shale, 10 cents on slack and
culm and 10 per cent advaloren on coke.
As soon as the clerk had read this
paragraph Mr.. Hill and Mr. PETER
jumped to their feet The New York
senator was recognized, and he sent to
the clerks desk an amendment to reIe-
gale bituminous coal and shale to the
free list
$3.50 p. m.-The vote on Mr.. Hilrs mo-
ton to place bituminous coal on the free
