Tho Report of tho Committee on Resolu-
tions Radically Amended.-The 0ues-
tion of Ccssion of Lands Laid Over
Until Next Year.
Denver, Sept. 9-The third national
irrigation congress, after a Session Of
much interest and Importance lasting
Il week, adjourned last night very sud-
denly. In the afternoon the resolu-
tions were adopted and an adjourn
ment was taken to o'clock to hear
n paper on sugar beet . 'ture by ]. S.
Heinz of California d another on
irrigation laws by G. s. Kinney of
Salt Lake. The delegates were very
tired, and when at o'clock there were
only a few people in the Broadway
theater, those few at once adjourned
sine die.
The resolutions presented by the
committee on resolutions were not rec
ognizable when the congress got
through with them, says the Republi-
can. The minority report favoring the
cession of the arid lands to the states
was rejected easily. The main por-
ton of tr Hajority report fnvorinS
the reclamf.--.t of the arid lands by
the states without taking title to them
from the federal government till the
lands should be settled and cultivated,
was not adopted, but the whole ques-
tion was postponed another year to
allow the state irrigation commission
ers to study and prepare plan for the
reclamation of the arid lands. This
is the third postpQpament OH this ques-
ton. The set Ct resolutions which was
adopted touched minor topics, such as
the repeal of the desert land law, the
investigation by the government of
sources of water supply, the appoint
ment OF Il national irrigation commits
sion to supervise irrigation undertake
ings, the appointment of an interna-
tional commission to settle questions
of water rights on the Mexican and
Canadian borders and a Quasi-indorse-
ment of the Carey law, which cedes
1,OOOOOO acres of arid land to each
state for the purpose Of reclamation.
The congress was much divided on
this point, but at last sort of indorse-
ment under the head of recommended
state legislation was carried.
, The session of the congress was the
most fruitful yet held. 1t lasted one
week, two tours Of inspection of Colo
RADIO irrigated farms being included
in that time. They were much enjoy
ed and appreciated by the convention.
and were declared to be more prOllnc
of practical results than all the talk
of the congress. The third trip plan
ned by the local committee. that to
Grand Junction and the San Luis val
ley, had to be given up because the
requisite number of excursionists
could not be obtained. Most of the
delegates had been gone from home 10
or 10 days and felt they could not
stay longer.

PENCE RENoMINATED.

In Spite of His Protests He Ii Again
Named for Congress.
Denver, Sept. 9.-Lafe Pence was re-
nominated for Congress for the first
district by the Populist convention. His
speech was the notable event in the
proceedings. In the course of his re-
marks he said: z
leave me free. Release me. Con-
slider my wishes. admit 1 have no
right to plead. at least, perhaps 1 have
not, but mts do it. Let me go, that
1 may follow the bent of my own de-
sires. l can be of more service to you
freed from this nomination. Let me
base the scalp of e. o. Wolcott, and
mere l can repay you for the CON
Grafton I now ask at your hands. He
is our enemy. One year near him has
taught me that however right that man
may be upon one subject, the subject
of silver, he Is wrong on every other in
terest Colorado people have at stake.
A man whose salary is nine-tenths
railway fees and corporation fees and
the other one-tenth public salary can
only be one-tenth the representative of
the people. l believe he can be
whipped, and think I can whip him.
Let me be free to do this"
"Let me be free to follow him in this
campaign, but IL you have another
man among you who can do this, I
care not who he is or whence he comes,
1 am ready now, this moment, to dis
regard my sincerest wishes and grasp
your banner and carry it into and
through the very heart Of this fight,
and go back to congress your servant.
to do your bidding and make your
fight for you"
In spite of his remonstrance the SEN
timent of the convention was SO over
whelming in favor of Mr.. Pence's re-
nomination that he had to accede and
the nomination was made unanimous
ly.
