tract % Mr.. Mcbride and We would meet
again that evening at the same place. We
again kept the appointment, bat Dir. Top

noon and testified 10 the worthlessness OF
the land as mineral. except in cases where
he ground had been sailed; returns were
in mills or fractions per cubic yard. Kim
balls evidence was TO the effect that there
was no material difference in the character
OF section 10 and all the territory border
Ing on the eastern margin of abe Sound.
DIR. Kimball was Of the opinion that fraud
had been practicsd by introducing foreign
material into the ground with the intsu-
ton Of giving mineral character TO the
land. The state will probably rest its case
tomorrow. The examination on the part
of Mcbride will continue. probably, to the

Brought Into Competition.
WARRINGTON CITY, Sept. 6.-The views
entertained by Secretary Morton regard
ing the purposes of irrigation conventions
and the propriety of Representatives of his
bureau taking part in them, which he SO
plainly expressed to the irrigation con-
gress in Denver. are not of recent origin.
No little correspondence has been carried
on by the secretary on this subject of irri-
cation, tending In the same direction. In
letter to Edward Chase, president of the
congress, written March 8. Secretary
Morton says;
''The farmers complain now of over
production, and why they should petition
the government to make appropriations to
fertilige arid lands with water and beget
still further production l am at q loss to
determine. Really the farmer who asks
the government for an appropriation with
which TO irrigate the arid land and sub
arid regions petitions the government TO
tax him so as TO create some competitors
for him In the markets OF the world"

The Leadership OF the Anti-Parnsllftes.
DUBLIN, Sept. 6.-The Evening Echo, in
its issue today, says it Is able to state that
the anti-Parnellite section of the Irish
parliamentary party regards the disclos-
ures regarding the check for fioo given by
Mr.. Gladstone to the Irish parliamentary
fund as the most serious they have been
confronted with since Mr.. Parnell's death.
Its understood that Mr. Mccarthy, the
leader of the anti Parnellites, will be only
too glad to profit by the FIRST opportunity
to retire from the leadership. and this. in
fact, has been urged upon him by several
of his colleagues. In the event of Mr..
McCarthy's retirement there will be a
determined fight for the leadership
Timothy Healy has set his mind upon be-
ing the leader of the anti Parnellites. and
he Is preparing TO start new Dublin daily
