British bill gives British naval officers
discretion in executing the restrictive
regulations. whereas the court made
these regulations imperative. The pc

also, said to be short of their recon-
mendations of the court of arbitration.
Secretary Gresham expressed no grave
concern over the condition. On the con-
trary, it was believed that in due time
both governments would arrive at an
understanding.
The House committee took no action
on the bill as submitted by the state
department to execute this country S
report in the arbitra ton decree. There
appears no objection to the bill, and it
can be readily reported at any time.
The intination is made that in the
meantime Ambassador Bayard will fur

British legislation more fully execute
its part of the decree.

New York, March 22.-Bob Fitzsim-

J.. and walking into the Office Of a
sporting paper, said: Il want to pick
up this challenge of Corbett made in
Florida on behalf of Dan Creedon for
$1,000. I viii get the $4,000 and meet
Creedon in a room with two men a
side. 1 want particularly to meet
Creedon, this wonderful weight at the
middleweight limit, because 1 have
heard Corbett say he is the only man
whom the great champion can not hit
seen the nose whenever he wants to.
Why, I'll bet Corbett $1,000 that he
can't hit me on the nose before 1 do
the same thing to him, and another 81,
600 that 1 can touch him on that fea-
ture twice to his once
There was in the party young 12S
pound aspirant for pugilistic honors
from Newark, n. J. 1t was suggested
that FitzSimmons put on the gloves
with him. Both took off their coats
and vests and put up their hands.
4 F'itZsimmons banged him around in
the first round, but no sooner was the
second round called than the Newarker
flew at the big chap and brought his
five ounce glove down with a slash on
FitzSimmon's nose, cutting a cash on
the right side of that member and
drawing no little amount of claret.
This was an entirely unlocked for &C.

many smiles in view Of the sizing up

WESTERN ARID LANDS.
CONSIDERED BY THE INTERSTATE
CONVENTION.
Owners Are Entitled to Aid from
the Government, in the Shape, at
Least, of Experiments to Prove
What Really Can BE Done-The
Money They Have Paid.

Omaha. March 22.-Nearly the entire
morning meeting of the interstate irri-
cation convention was spent in execu-
tive session, debating a series of reso-
lutions prepared by the executive COM
mittee. The principal fight was made
over the clause demanding that Con-
gress make an appropriation to test
the practicability of irrigation by
means of artesan wells. No conclusion
was reached and the debate continued
till the afternoon. Aside from this the
convention listened to papers on "irri-
cation and continental development
and pumping machinery for irriga-
ton
At the afternoon session of the inter
state irrigation convention, the report
of the committee on resolutions, re-
porteds at the morning session, was
adopted.
After reciting the opening of public
lands to settlement, the platform goes
on:
Resolved, That it is the sense of
this convention that it is the duty OF
Congress to make an appropriation to
test the practicability of the following
methods of irrigation for these plans:
First-That the government should,
by experiments, determine whether the
underflow water is of sufficient volume
and can be brought to the surface at a
cost to make it available for general
irrigation purposes.
Second-That it should determine the
extent to which reservoirs can be con-
structed for the purpose of storing
storm water sufficiently in quantity for
irrigation purposes.
Resolved, That the fully endorse the
following extract from the report OF
the special committee Of the United
States Senate and the same be made a
part of the resolution Of this conven-
ton:
eff anything can be done to encour.
! age the people of these great plains, il
is important that it should be done
speedily. There are over 100000 peo
pie in the arid and semi-arid belt who
have paid into the United States
treasury no less than S40,000000 fol-
public lands. The government should
demonstrate to them the practicability
before they can have the courage OF
can command the means to prosecute
the work on any considerable scale"
! Several addresses by prominent irri
| gationists were made during the day.

Omaha, March 22.-The blizzard that
has been raging over the northwest
for forty-eight hours continued today
in western and central Nebraska,
eastern Wyoming and Black Hills.
All trains on the Union Pacific be-
tween North Platte and Cheyenne were
tied up, but the snow plows were out
and great effort will be made to clear
the tracks and the trains will leave for
the west this evening. The snow has
ceased falling west of Cheyenne, but a
terrific gale is blowing. The Elkhorn
road is showed up west of Onen and
the Burlington and Wyoming line is
entirely blockaded.
The snow reached the Missouri river
today, but only in slight fiurries. The
real storm only advanced as far east
as Columbus at noon. The snow varies
in depth from a foot on the level at
Sidney to four feet at Spearfish. The
effect on the cattle will be disastrous
as all big ranges of the state are in
the district covered by the deep snow.
Railroads in the blockaded districts
are making all haste to take advantage
of the cessation of snow fall to clear
their tracks.
They have out snow plows and
shoveling gangs and hope to get the
tracks clear within another twenty
four hours.
The worst blockade reported is from
Chadron, where several trains are
showed in from six to ten miles from
town.
The track has not been used since
Monday. One train reached Chadron
after being held in a snowbank thirty
hours

viz: The national legislature and gov
eminent, remains apparently as power
full as ever He exhorts every member
to attend caucus and independently of

of the order or equally good and re-
sponsible citizens as delegates to con

He refers to the other so-called
patriotic organizations recently formed
as another ingenious weapon formed

be quietly let alone.
| The address exhorts persistent oppo-
sition to immigration as primary
source of financial panics and the
main avenue of priestly supremacy
and advocates taxation of ali property

lie inspection of converts and vigilant
guarding of the franchise, and the
public schools against the inroads OF
foreignism and absoluteism."

must have a purse of $4,000. and guar
anteed protection. Creedon did no
work for six months. waiting for a
chance to fight Fitzsimmons, and now
that he is with Moore FitZsimmons

Ihe1r status Explained BY Secre-

Washington, March 22.-Seoretary
Gresham was before the House com
mittee on foreign affairs today con-
corning the status OF Behring sea af-
fairs. There were brought out import
ant developments as to the manner in
which her majesty's government was
executing the award of the Behring sea
court of arbitration. The strictest in
junction was put on members of the
committee to refrain from discussing
day, however, on Mr.. Gresham's re-
turn to the state department, the gem
eral points in the hearing were made
known. Secretary Gresham explained
the situation fully. 1t appears that by
the terms of the treaty of arbitra ton,
both Great Britain and the United
States bound themselves to abide by
the decision of the court of arbitration.
1t has been commended this court was
not binding, that no court of law or par
lament was needed to carry out the
decree of the court.
Senator Morgan, of the arbitrator,
has taken the ground that the decision
in itself was part of the organic law
of both countries, based on the origi-
nal treaty which has the same bind
ing effect as a state law. Secretary
Gresham deemed it wise, however, to
have Congress pass a law carrying out
the courts decision and the measure
was drafted and submitted to Con-
gress. But the secretary expressed
surprise that Great Britain has yet
presented no such legislation, so far as
was officially known.

ments, however, in California and else

San Francisco, March 22.-The soci-
ETY. for the prevention of cruelty to an
imals have discovered plan which
was on foot to have a fight between a
lion and a grizzly bear at the Midwin~
ter fair grounds and they propose to
put stop to it.
A large, fierce grizzly was captured
some time ago and was purchased by
Colonel Boone, the lion tanner. Among
the other animals owned by Boone is a
lion named Parnell. Parnell is full
sized lion, has a record for having kill
ed numerous of his keepers and is as
bloodthirsty as one can imagine.
1t was proposed to put Parnell and
the grizzly in the big cage of the arena
together and let them fight to finish.
Tickets were placed at $40, and even
at that price were selling like hot
cakes. The secretary of the society
for the prevention of cruelty to ami
mails has had interviews with Mayor
Elliot and the chief of police, who as
sure him every assistance in prevent
ing the brutal affair.
