The Prolonged Drought.

From the Pittsburg pa Commercial Gazette.
The most remarkable drought Of the clos
ing quarter of the century has been broken
so far as the middle Atlantic and New Eng
land states are concerned. There have been
heavy rains in Massachusetts, New Hamp-
shire, Connecticut and adjacent states, and
showers extended southwark into Della
ware and Maryland. In many of the coun-
ties of eastern Pennsylvania the drought
has been the most severe since 1869, but it
has been broken as far west as the anthra-
cite coal region. There is still great search
ty of water along the slopes of the Allie
ghany mountains.
The condition of the streams and springs
In many parts of West Virginia, Ohio, In
diana and Kentucky has not been much
better than in the other states named. The
great Ohio river Is little better than sue
cession of pools, while tributary streams
are almost dried up. Many small towns
are without adequate supplies Of water, and
the sanitary condition of the sources of
supply is very bad. Typhoid fever prevails
wherever the drought has made itself felt,
and it is not improbable that the number
of cases will increase rather than diminish
until the rains shall be heavy enough to
refresh the land and carry off through the
streams the accumulated filth of the sum-
mer months. One of the most serious eff
fects of the prolonged dry spell has been
the inability of the farmers to get their
fall plowing and seeding done.

The Las Vegas Grant,

The case of Reynolds and others against
the Secretary of the Interior and the COM
missioner Of the general land office came
up before Chief Justice Bingham Tues
day. This is a case in which the town of
Las Vegas is seeking to enjoin the Secre-
tary and the commissioner from making
survey of the Las Vegas land grant, by
which they propose to take from the grant
about 10000 acres, and turn them back as
part of the public domain, subject to
entry under the land laws of the United
States. The suit involves the title to about
100 square miles of land. upon which is To-
Gated a city of 10000 people. The plain
tiffs claim that the land belongs to the
town of Las Vegas, and that 1t has been
used and occupied for period of sixty
years, and that it has been confirmed by
act of Congress, and that the action of the
defendants will be, in effect to destroy the
grant, and bring upon the people residing
upon it great financial disaster.

Messenger Pigeon Service.

Gen. Greely. chief signal officer, has re-
ceived an interesting report from Prof.
Henry Marion in regard to the messenger
pigeon service of the Naval Academy. The
report says that experiments with carrier
pigeons were begun in 1899 and continued
during the cadet practice cruises since 1893
Each succeeding year better results have
been obtained by increasing the distances
and during last summers cruise birds
brought messages over 250 miles to the
hcme station, the quickest time being at
the rate of forty miles hour.
Out of twenty-five pigeons liberated from
the practice ship Monongahela only one
failed to return to the academy loft. The
usefulness of the service for naval pur-
poses having been fully demonstrated the
report suggests that the service be estab-
Eshed by act of Congress on a permanent
and recognized basis, as it is in other coun-
tries, such as France, Germany, Italy, Rus
sia, Austria, and to some extent in England
and Canada, in which Halifax is the princi-
pal station.

Want. the Utes Driven Out.

Governor Mcintyre Of Colorado has
written a letter to Gen. Frank Whea-
ton, commanding the Department of
the Colorado, U. S. A., demanding that
he drive the Utes, now trespassing in
the northwestern part Of Colorado, out of
the state. These Indians belong in Utah,
and have lately been slaughtering game
lndiscriminately in Routt and Rio Blancha
counties.
General Wheaton said that he did not
think any serious trouble would arise, but
he was having a careful investigation
made, which would be completed in a day
or So He said that the Indian agent, Mai
Randlett, was also commander of the post
of that locality, and he would in all prob
ability call the Indians back to the reser-
walton. 1t Is not known exactly how many
Utes are in Colorado, but they are esti-
mated at 500 men. with half as many wo-
men. The state game warden had q con-
sultation with the governor late this after
noon, and the governor directed him to go
to the scene Of the depredations, and In
conjunction with the sheriff Of the county
stop the slaughter Of game.

A Remarkable Fish for the Smith.
sOnian.
The fish commissions steamer Albatross
has returned to San Francisco from the
rorth with a pop-eyed denizen of the deep
that may become the wonder of naturalsts
the world over. 1t is fish unlike anything
ever caught before and in no way resem-
bling ordinary fishes. 1t was scooped in by
a dredge that was at the time travelling
along the bottom of the ocean a mile and
a half deep.
Prof. Townsend had ecstacies when the
peculiar monster was removed from the
net on the deck of the Albatross and is of
the opinion that the fish would not have
been able to live much higher up in the
water than where it was found. Such is
the makeup of the fish that the professor
imagines that it must have felt sharp pains
whenever it came anywhere within a mile
of the surface of the sea. Certain it is
that the very act of bringing this fish near
the surface of the sea seems to have killed
It, When the enormous pressure was taken
of its vital organs. its heart and every
thing else within it apparently began to
puff up. Its bladder seems to have been
forced partly out through it's mouth and
its eyes were driven forward out of their
sockets. The fish will be forwarded to the
Smithsonian.
