ton, will likely reach the Indian country

The Senate Wins.

The Kansas senate refused, fiat, to con-
firm Governor Morrill's appointment of
Judge Emery as member of the irrigation
beard, the two other nominees. Sutton and
Frost, being republicans and Emery dem
ocrat.
Governor Morrill, then substituted w. F.
Petition, of Ford, for Emery, but the senate
had the same objections, and proceeded to
refuse to confirm that gentleman, becau %
he is a stalwart democrat. The popuist
mem ers reaffirmed their determination not
to confirm any other than popuIist.
The friends Of irrigation we're beginning to
fear that perhaps there would be no board
after all Of the legislation along that line at
this session. The governor did not desire
to kill the irrigation movement, however,
by denying the right of representation de-
manded by the populist senate; accordingly
he sent to the senate the name of M. B.
Tom bin, of Sherman county. There was
no further delay. The senate confirmed Mr..
Tom pin and with him W. B. Sutton of
Russell and D. M. Fro of Finney county,
as mem bers of the board in open senate.

IN GOOD COMPANY
But Phoenix Horses May Find
 1t a Little Fast.
Distinguished Horses Which Will Take Part In the Spring Meet
 Ing at Albuquerque.

Billups' and other Phoenix horses which left here last week for the spring meeting of the Albuquerque Driving association, find fthemselyes in dis tinguished company, though a triie fast. Of the meeting and the entries the Albuquerque Democrat says:
 Next Thursday will be the opening day of the spring meeting of the Albu- querque Driving association, which will continue for three days, May Is, r and IS.
 The attractions secured for this meeting are certainly enough to bring people here from all portions of the southwest. Never at any previous meeting were there ever entered such an array of noted horses, and perhaps never again, at least for many years, will such string of horses as those from the celebrated stables of c. J. Hamlin & Sons village farm of Buffalo, N. Y, as we'll as the Colorado and Phoenix, Ariz., horses be seen in New Mexico. The only reason that Hamlin & Sons pacers, Robert J., with a rec ord of :Oi E, Hal Pointer, with a rec ord of 3 :04, and their famous trotters, Fantasy, with 8 record of 2:06, and Nightingale, with a record of 2:091a Moonstone and other world renowned horses will take part in the Albuquer- que races, is the fact that these horses were wintered in California and stopped here en route.
 It is expected that Fantasy will beat the worlds trotting record this year, and Doble, the noted driver, says this horse will surely succeed in lowering the record.
 The Hamlin string arrived in the city from California last night in care of Ed Geers, the driver, and will be at the track today. the observed of all ob. servers.
