Representative Blair of New Hamp-
shire introduced bill in the house last
Friday appropriating not to exceed $20,-
600, to be expended under the direction
of the secretary of the navy, for the
rescue of the armament of the u. S
frigate Kearsarge, wrecked recently on
Roncador reef. When it is remembered
that the 11-inch gun of the Kearsarge's
armament is the gun that sunk the Con-
federate privateer Alabama off Cher
bourg, France, it will be hoped that the
bill will pass and the effort to save the
armament prove successful. Mr.. Blair
explained that immediate action would
be necessary on account of the currents
of the ocean at the place of the wreck.

directly across Michigan from the east
ern shore of lake Michigan to reach
Detroit or Toledo. One of the plans is
to tap Lake Michigan at point near
Michigan City or New Buffalo and run

canal will be about 1870 miles long and IL

Does Each Crop Need-An Interesting
Experiment.
WASHINGTON, Nov 7-Investigations
are in progress at several of the agricul-
tural experiment stations TO demonstrate
the amount of water required by differ
ent crops for perfect development, as
well the best time and method of APP
plication.
Losses aggregating millions of dollars
occur yearly in the o-called humid re-
gions of the eastern and southern states
as a consequence of the long dry spells
which prevail in many localities
OF those regions. A deficiency of rain
fall during the comparatively short
period at critical stage of the growth
of the crop may result IN serious reduc-
ton in the yield and quality OF the crop
or in total failure
The most reliable safeguard against
this result, says an agricultural depart
ment bureau, is irrigation in some form.
The system may be employed in modi-
fed form and on q smaller scale with
marked advantage on at least the more
valuable farm lands Of the humid
regions.
There is usually little trouble in such
regions in securing all the water eeded
for irrigation. BY impounding the small
streams and utilizing the springs u hich
occur II almost every farm, sufficient
water might be stored at small expense
TO carry the crops safely over the one or

WASHINGTON, Nov. =. Senator
Faulkner, the chairman OF the Demo
cratic congressional committee, made
the following statement at midnight:
Indications seem to point to Re-
publican victory in the congressional
contest. However, the information I
have received. does not justify me in
giving up the organization Of the
house by the Democrats, nor does
nay Information justify me in Civ
ing up the election of Mr.. Wilson.
/ have men at every doubtful
point who will telegraph me as
soon as the returns are made. I have
received no word from any of them
and am certain that the counts have
not been completed. We have won
in the Third and Fourth West Vir-
ginia districts, but the chairman of
the First district admits the election
of Governor, Republican, by l. 500 to
l. 700. That district has undergone
the most remarkable change ever
known in the politics OF the country,
due, to a great extent, to the A. p. A.
and partly to the manufacturing in
terests- It Is supposed that Gum
mings IS defeated by fourteen votes
in New York city, but that is not
sure. understand our friends ia
Michigan admit the Repu blicans have
carried the state and all but two
heard nothing authentic from Wis
consin. Tarsney's election in Mis-
souri, seems to be in doubt The a
F. A has been active against him In
the South / know of no losses, but
several gains. including the seat now
held by Murray, cOlored. Repu blican,
Of South Carolina There seems to
be no possibility of a loss Of more than
one district of Virginia. If the reports
are correct it will be impossible
for the Democrats to organize the
house. the Repu blicans are claiming
everything, but I pay very little at
tention to their claims. We expect to
receive kilograms from every Demo
cratic candidate for congress and then
will have something definite on which
to base an estimate"
Senator Faulkner declined to ex-
press an opinion Of the causes which
brought about increased epublican
ma iorities.
The Democratic headquarters were
deserted before midnight by all but
the clerks OF the committee.
