IN REGARD TO THE CAREY LAW

Washington, Nov. 25.-Secretary Hoke
Smith in his annual report will recon-
mend that the Carey law, granting 1.OOO,-
600 acres of arid land to each state in
which such lands are situated. be amend
ed so that the grant be made to the state
outright, and 1t be made responsible for
the irrigation of lands. Under the law as
1t now stands it would be many years be-
fore the state would receive the benefit
Of the grant. and Secretary Smith be-
lieves the state can carry out better the
intention Of congress If it gets control
Of the entire grant at once instead of
waiting until water is secured for the

done enough for his country, and no

SALlsBuRY'S REPLY I'd MORGAN


Sea Controversy.
Washington, Nov. 25-The British em-
bassy today received from the foreign Of
flee the full correspondence respecting the
claims for compensation on account Of
British vessels seized in Boring sea by the
United States cruisers. Brief cable ex-
tracts from the report have appeared. but
the full correspondence is full of interest,
as It brings out the spirit with which Sir
Julian Pauncefote. the British ambassa-
dor. answered the criticisms OF Senator
Morgan.
On March 15 Sir Julian wrote an elabor-
ate answer to Senator Morgan's criticisms
on the claims After answering one Of the
senator's statements. he says:
The vituperative epithets used were
quite unmerited. and will proceed that
the objection In question is not well
founded in fact. and apparently is based
on q mistaken view of the British navi-
cation laws"
After quoting the British sailing laws,
he says:
why should the American hacker be
called rascal? What law has he violated
by advancing money for the prosecution
OF lawful Canadian industry carried on
by Canadians in Canadian vessels-in
what respect has the United States gov
eminent been robbed, considering that It
has no property In the fur seal, as was
solemnly adjudged and declared by the
tribunal Of arbitration at Paris.
These are questions which submit can
only be reasonably answered in sense
absolutely fatal to Senator Morgan.s con-
tentions."
Lord Salisbury. In acknowledging the
communications from Washington. wrote:
Il need scarcely say that the arguments
which you bring forward in support OF
the validity Of those claims have the en-.
tire approval and concurrence Of her ma
jesty's government. The attempt made by
Senator Morgan to dispute them seems to
be largely founded on Misrepresentation.
and her majesty's government can not
doubt that when the full facts are before
the public in the United States the liabil-
ity Of that country to make compensa-
ton which has never been denied by the
government will be generally recognised
both In and out Of congress-
