WILL DO GOOD WORK.

Fl. r. Hilton, the Irrigation Expert,
Changes His Mind About the state Board.
Il. R Hilton, who is one of the most
enthusiastic advocates of irrigation in
Kansas, has changed His mind about the
work of the state board When the $780,,
900 appropriation was made he said that
he had little faith that any good would
be done.
II am now satisfied" said he, ''that
much good will be done, The board did
the right thing in reducing the number
of stations from thirty five, for if that
number had been maintained l think
that but little good would have resulted.
They can hope to do little but expert
ment, for the coet of bringing water to
the surface on the prairies must be greas
and the appropriation is small.
There is one thing sure, however, and
that is that more will be done by individ-
uals than by the state. Men Interested
in irrigation are continually putting in
plants, and they are doing much to solve
the question"

to the Inauguration of Governor Budd. for
while there Is any quantity of strange talk
concerning II. there is no real belief that
it will develop into substance.
Neither OF the Senatorial candidates is
on the ground and neither has established
headquarters.
The Senate convened at noon and was
called to order by Lieutenant & Govern or
Raddick. The new Senators were sworn
in and the upper house adjourned till to-
morrow st noon.
The bly, was something like half
an hour In getting in shape. Chief Clerk
Peckham called the body to order and
prayer was offered by Rev. 81. c. Herrick,
and the roll was called by districts.
Members were then sworn in. 1t was
after / o'clock when this ordeal was
finished and the bushes of organizing
begun.
John c. Lynch was nominated for
Speaker by Judson G. Brusie In the first
speech of the session which set a good
standard for the talking yet to be done.
II. C. Dinkel'piel of San Francisco,
seconded the effort as did also Richard L
Thomas Of Nevada.
ID. G. Reid of Trinity d. presented
the name Of n. L. F. Bachman of Fresno
and MADEIRA. and j. O'Day of San Fran
cisco seconded this. and then came the
rollcall, Lynch being elected by 63 to Is.
Mr.. Bachman changed his vote at the last
minute from himself to Lynch out of his
deep regard for Mr.. Lynch. hs said. Mr..
Lynch was conducted to the gayei and
made nervous little well-Worded speech,
saying:
'The people of this State look upon this
Legislature With closer scrutiny than has
before. The times are such that the people
demand of the Legislature the most rigid
economy and care in the legislation which
shall be passed by you. In this direction
/ promise you and the people OF this State
to continuously endeavor to carry out their

OUT OF THE POOL NOW.
The Union Pacific Has Dug Up the
Hatchet.
Not a Rate War as Yet, but ALI the Indi
cations Are Growing
Hostile.

OMAHA, Nebr., Jan. THE Union Pa
ciff will not be factor 10 future discus
sions of the transcontInental rates at
Chicago unless a radical change is agreed
to by contending interests. E. L. Lomax
of the Union Pacific returned from Chicago
to-day and made public this ultimatum on
the subject:
"Just as soon as ths differential rates
are withdrawn the Union Pa ifc is ready
to raise the rates. 1t occurs to me that the
proposition made to the Union Pacific 10
arbitrate the boycott was a one-sided sug-
gestian and that the Union Pacific cannot
in justice to Itself. go into arbitration. The
committees report, which was signed
Jointly by the lines boycotting the Union
Pacific as well as by the Union Pacific itself,
shows clearly the determination of the
other lines 10 force upon the Union Pacific
the opening of its interme diate gateways
on one-way business, because while the
report says that the other lines only want
10 do one-way business to Portland this
only covers the whole question of inter-
mediate gateways, as one depends on the
otner, and every man conversant with the
sHuatlon Knows that it covers all business
north and northwest of Ogden on which
the Union Pacific would allow the other
INES aod their connections to compete with
1t Tor the haul on this business from the
missouri River to Ogden, which Is much
longer haul for the Union Pacific than the
haul beyond Ogden"
MT. Lomax asserts that while willing to
join in the proposed increase of rates TO
proper tariffs ne cannot join an associa-
ton for their maintenance unless the
question Of interchanging excursion busi-
ness at Denver and Ogden be settled. anc
that question be cannot settle on the basis
OF MS charging one-wsy tickets at Denver
and ogden to or from territory beyond Or
even to Portland alone, nor Is be willing

did so. There were about fifteen who
walked the plank. 1t was said to-day that
there were two of the men who proposed
to bring the matter before General Man
ager Dickinson and see If the older men
should not have the preference. 1t being
alleged that some of the younger men have
been retained. This has always been the
policy OF Mr.. Dickinson, and the men
believe that if the matter was presented
to him in the proper light he would see
that when there were discharges to be
made the oldest employees had the call and
stayed in.

His Trip Abroad Had No Political
Significance.

States, accompanied by Mrs. Thurston.
was a passenger on the CunaFd line steam-
er Aurania which arrived from Liverpool
to-day. Mr.. Thurs;on stated that his trip
abroad had no political significance what
ever. He went to Portugal at the request
of his Government to reinaugurate the
importa ion of Portuguese labor to the
Hawaiian republic They make good
laborers, and the planters prefer mixed
crews on their plantations as they are less
liable to make trouble than those all of
one nationality. When the sugar Industry
began to decline, the importation of labor
ers was stopped. About 400 Portuguese 9
will soon leave for Hawaii.
Mr. Thurston refused to make any COM
ment on President Cleveland's letter, re-
marking that it would be bad taste on his
part to comment or the words or actions of
the official mead of country to which he
is an embassador. He said he did not
believe the feeling of annexa-
,ion to the United States had diminished
in his country since the new republic was
established, and the people were looking
forward 20 change in the administration

! The Perkins managers deny all this, of
course, and say that they have fifty-seven

the time. The De Young men are trying
to break down Perkins strength by spring
ing local candidates from all over the

The facts in the case are that the Lieu

in at his residence in Los Angeles at
noon Monday. but after a consultation
IL was decided that 1t would not
do to have him take the oath until he had
been declared duly elected by the Speaker
of the Assembly, so he was told TO wait,
and he will be notified by telegraph the
moment his election is officially announced
by Speaker Lynch.
Then he will take the oath to support
the constitution of the State and United
States, and will notify the Senate of what
he has done. The President pro tem., who
will be Senator Thomas Flint of the
Thirty-third District. will be there and
take the chair, and Lieutenant t-GOyernor
Reddick will step down and out.

Millard yesterday are to the effect that he

There Is some complaint among the
country members that San Francisco Is
asking too many Offices. They say that
the bulk of the legislative patronage
should 60 where the votes come from aud
that as San Francisco elected BudG il
should look to him for his patronage.
The San Francisco delegation says that
the city Republicans had the hardest kind
of fight on their hands, and that they
succeeded in electing ten out of eighteen
members Of the Assembly. and If they did
not pull Estee through, they gave the
balance of the ticket big maioriiies.

ings. Many of the ladies, however, care
for other ends than the satisfying OF mere
curiosity. They are legion who want
clerkships, and some are here already be-
ginning their fight for suffrage.
The reunions of hOld-over and returned
members were quite affecting in their
warmth. suggestive in many cases of the
awful struggle that they had been through
to make it. The funny man was on hand
with his quips. and altogether the first
short session was like the opening Of the
picnic season.
The organization and the appointment
of officers developed an exciting caucus
tonight. The disposition has been TO
claim the high-salarled places for those
districts that returned Republican ma
i1rities. the size of the salary and
emoluments being proportioned to the
size 81 the majority. and the com binations
that have been worked on this plan has
resulted in considerable bitterness. Il Is
expected, however. that the air will be
wholly freed of these difficulties tomorrow,
and then for the Senatorship.
The applicants for office will then have
knowledge of their fate, and will retire
from me neld, the successful TO snake
hands with themselves In elf-congrstula-
tion, and the defeated tn look for other
wires TO work.
So there will be every here and there an
open space in the vicinity of the Golden
Esge, through which a man may make
his way with his friend to the bar and dis
cuss the Senatorial question.
Mr. de- Ynunc with eithar an jnenira

how 10 advise at opportune moments, has

that they and their families were starv-

work. but if no work was available they
Insisted that the Government should feed

pressed with a stern hand, his orders

He, however, promised to write to the
Government, representing their case and
urging that help be extended them. With
this assurance the delegation withdrew.
Starvation Is becoming more general
daily. The Government was waited on by
a committee of the clergy, and In reply to
the committee, the Government said ar
rangements were being made to provide
employment for the relief of the people.
Lady O'Berne's committee started two
soup kitchens to-day, one in each end of
