IRRIGATION ACT VALID,
Sustained by a Decision of the
Supreme Court of Ne
braSka.
A Law Copied After That Passed in
California Declared to Be
Constitutional.

LINCOLN, NEBR., Nov. 20.-The consti-
nationality of Nebraska's district irriga-
ton law has been sustained by the Su-
preme Court. Persons interested in irri-
CATION and development of the industry
are correspondingly happy, as the district
law was one of two acts introduced in the
last Legislature which were intended to
be enforced jointly in order to develop
the industry. The first pertained to water
rights and State control of water. Under
that act the present State Board of Irri-
cation is adjudicating claims of farmers
and canal companies for water. In suit
passed upon several months ago by the
Supreme Court the irrigationists won the
point contended for-the right to condemn
right of way for bitches.
The case Just decided was entitled The
Alfalfa Irrigation District VS.. Collina, an
appeal from Keith County. The district
act provides for the organization of irri-
CATION districts and taxation of property
to pay the cost OF construction of bitches
and other necessary works. The act is
copied after the California law, the con-
stitutionality OF which is now pending in
the United States Supreme Court.

TALKING FIGHT AGAIN,
Stuart Claims He Has Found a
Meeting Place for Corbett
and FitZSimmonS.
Confident That Both Pugilists Will
Sign Articles for Mill Near
Ell PaSO.

DALLAS, TEX, Nov. 20.-Dan Stuart,
who has been on pilgrimage to Ell Paso
and the contiguous territory for the last
two weeks looking for a place where a
prize-fght of the first grade may be
pulled off without molestation, returned
to Dallas to-day. He said:
II have found spot where Corbett and
Fitzsimmons or any other pugilist may
fight as long as they are able to stand up
and nobody will interfere with them. The
place is not far from Ell Paso, but shall
not make the battle ground public until
the morning of the fight. All that any
body needs to do to see the fight will be to
be in Ell Paso with ticket. | have not
the slightest doubt that the Corbett- Fitz-
simmons match will now be consummated
without further trouble. / shall start for
New York on Sunday next, and feel conf
dent l will have no trouble in getting Cor
bett to sign articles. If thought.l could
not, | would probably not go.
"Fitzsimmons is in earnest and Will hight
CorDett on any terms. Western Texas in
the neighborhood of Ell Paso is booming
and the cattlemen are especially prosper
Gus. They are eager for the fight to take
place and will be on hand in force to wit
ness it when it comes off.

He Wants Ceremonies in Honor
of Deceased Congressman
Abolished.
CLAssED AS USELESS ORGIES. !"
Funeral Parties Alleged to Have
Spent the Peoples Money for
Champagne.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Nov. 20.-Sena-
tor PETER intends TO make himself more
conspicuous than ever, if possible, this
winter. He believes that many dollars are
wasted in each Congress on the funerals
of dead Representatives and Senators. He
was at the Capitol to-day getting data for
forthcoming speech on this subject. He
finds that it cost $1,000 to bury Mary
land Senator, and that large amounts were
expended in similar ways in many other
cases.
PETER will give an itemized account of
the expenses and tell how much was spent
for casket, shroud, gloves, flowers, railway
fares, sleepers, tips to porters, wine, cigars,
etc. He believes that Congressman have a
merry time on these funeral trips, and that
the expenditures should be curtailed or
abolished altogether.
PETER was one OF the committee to es-
cort the body of the late Representative
Wright to its last resting place in Pennsyl-
vania, and it is presumed by some of his
brother Senators that he took notes on this
trip and has a very minute record of the
bottles of wine drunk and number OF
cigars smoked by each of the funeral party
Peffer's speech will denounce some OF these
burials at public expense as disgraceful
"orgies," and will contend that Congress
should not fritter away the people money
in this way. He contends that much time
is consumed and many dollars wasted il
eulogies on deceased legislators, and that
eulogies should not be allowed on working
legislative days, but another time should
be selected-Sundays or after Legislative
hours on working days.

Another Funding Bill to Be In
troduced as Soon as Con-
gress Meets.
POWERS TO HAVE CHARGE
Congressman Mcguire Expects the En-
tire California Delegation to
Fight the Measure.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 20.-The
Southern Pacific is evidently expecting a
hot fight this winter on the funding DILL,
which it is expected will be introduced
shortly after Congress meets. The Post,
which has always befriended the Pacific
Mail, the Pacific railroads and other of the
Huntington and Stanford interests, has an
editorial, evidently inspired by the rail-
road, opposing Government ownership of
railroads.
Judge Powers of Vermont, who was
active in Huntington interests as a men,
Der of the Pacific Railroads Committee in
the last Congress, will, it is expected, be
chairman of that committee, and it is said
he has prepared bill to extend the debt
for another term of years. Brice is now
chairman of the Pacific Roads Committee
in the Senate. He will be Senator until
succeeded by Foraker in 1897, but whether
he will be chairman of the committee
until then depends on the Senate reorgan-
izatlon. No one seems to know whether
the Republicans will be able to control
the Senate, and it is both affirmed and de-
MED that Senator Jones of Nevada will
vote with the Republicans for reorganiza-
ton. But whether Brice is chairman he
will be member of the Pacific Railroads
Committee and will, as he did last winter,
work among the Senators to protect his
Union Pacific interests as well as those of
Mr.. Huntington.
Congressman Mcguire is counting upon
the entire California delegation to
stand with him in the fight against any
refunding proposition, though he is not
certain that all of them will favor Govern
ment ownership.

ACCUSED OF ARSON.
Charges Preferred Against the Owner of a
Building in Which -Four Persons
We're Cremated

NEW YORK, N. Y, Nov. 20.-Morris
Levy. owner of the buildings, and 6 Pei
ham street, which were burned on Novem-
Der 3, and in which four persons lost their
lives and twenty others were crippled, is
accused of having set fire to the building,
234 Cherry street, formerly owned by him.
Jacob Cooper and Simon Auerbach, who
were Levy's tenants at 234 Cherry street,
have brought two suits to recover damages
for their stock and machinery destroyed
by fire. Papers in these suits were served
upon Levy yesterday. In the complaints
both men allege that Levy willfully set fire
to the building for the purpose of collect
ing the insurance. Afidavits made by
other tenants in the building, accusing
Levy of arson; have been filed with the
District Attorney.
No. 234 Cherry street was five-story
brick structure, used as a sweatshop. In
the attidavits it is alleged that Levy, aided
by two men unknown to the atlantis, satu-
rated the building with oil and then fired
II. Rubin Schwartz, tailor of 108 Mon
roe street, who had a shop in the burned
building, alleges that several days previ-
Gus to the fire Levy made propositions to
several persons to burn the building, offer
ing a sum of money to anybody who would
undertake the job
Levy owns, or did own, large number
OF buildings on the East side. According
to the records of the Fire Department
Levy's buildings have often suffered from
fire. In September, 1898, AZ, 40 and 81
Pike street, owned by him, were destroyed,
and several persons were injured. The
Cherry-street fire destroyed several build
ings. Assistant Fire Marshal Freel inves-
tigated, but could not find any tangible
proof that the blaze was lncendlary.

sale Loot.

ST. JOHNS, n. F., Nov. 20-Another
sensation was sprung to-day il the inves-
tigation which has been going on In regard
to the wholesale banking frauds, in which
nearly every bank in the colony is con-
cerned. These new developments show a
conspiracy and depth of infamy which it
is almost impossible to comprehend. The
directors of the Union Bank and those
summoned before the Crown courts on the
18th, and who were held in bonds of $50, 900
each, have jumped their bonds, and the
investigating authorities have been I'M
able to find any trace of them. The i'm
preston is that they left on specially
chartered sailing vessel, landed on Cana
dian shores and will proceed to the United
States or Mexico. Even yet the true in
wardness of the gigantic swindlings is not
apparent and it seems as If nearly every
official of any capacity in the colony is
implicated.
The bonds on which the prisoners were
held were brought forward to-day, show
ing that they also had been fraudulently
drawn up by the presiding Judge of the
Supreme Court, thereby permitting the
prisoners to escape without serious conse-
HuohNe' 1Ae CoiAElIUtiLS JuuSe has neu
and 1t has been proved that he was impli-
Gated in the frauds
The Bank Examiners have not as yet
succeeded in Strengthening out the ac-
counts. but it is thought that over three
quarters OF the entire funds of the Union
Bank have been misappropriated, and that
some of the smaller banks are in even
worse straits. The general feeling is that
the colony has been forced to the wall, and
that the only recourse left is direct APP
peal to the home Government for help.

is spoken of in advance as 1.-The Cabinet of
all the talents"
The Nippon, heretofore one of the
strongest upholders of japanese dIplo-
mats present at Seoul during the coup
detat, has lately veered around and adds
its voice to cry for the resignation OF the
Cabinet.
The imporal japanese Diet convokes De-
cember %.
The inhabitants of TokunoshIma, Kago-
shima prefecture, are said to be in very
destitute condition. A serious storm Wis
tied the island on July "a, and the sweet
potato crop, the chief staple of the island
ers, was ruined. The rice was also greatly
injured The inhabitants, numbering
10000 in all, are now reduced to eating
leaves and stalks of potatoes, various
herbs etc. Local officials find it difficult
to relieve such large number of persons,
and it is feared that many deaths will
ensue.
The etiquette of the Japanese court does
not permit deaths In the imperial family
to be officially announced until certain
preparations are completed, so that, al
though the late Prince Imperial died on
lue AOlll llIJ', lbC AtIt NaS hOt OAlASAoily oO-
cared until November IA. The Prince
fell victim to the terrible malarial fever
of Formosa. where his Highness was in
command of the guards. The Chinese
war has thus cost Japan the lives of two of
her most illustrious Princes. His imperial
Highness was in his forty ninth year. He
was highly educated, having spent seven
years in Europe, mostly in Germany,
where he acquired military knowledge.
He was handsome, intelligent and noted
for the genial courtesies of his address.
His untimely death is profoundly mourned
by the nation.
An excellent story comes from Picking. A
leading member of the Tsung Ii Yamen,
evidently the Great Wong, who is said to
owe his position to his anti-foreign ideas,
found on assuming office, that it was one
thing TO abuse the foreigner verbally and
another to deal with him practically. Sir
Nicholas O'Connor proved specially dis
turbing, for he actually pounded the table
under the serene mandarins nose. The
latter complained TO London about this
sledgehammer diplomacy, whereupon the
Marquis of Salisbury replied that Wong
had better attend to Sir Nicholas or he,
the Marquis, would come out and do the
table-pounding himself
