MIR. SMITH WILL RECOMMEND

That the Different States He Made Re
sponsible for Irrigating Arid Land.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27. - Secretary
Hoke Smith, in his annual report, will
recommend that the Carey law grant
ing /, ,OOO, 900 acres of arid land to each
state in which such lands are situated
be amended 50 that the grant be made
to the state outright, and it be made
responsible for the irrigation of the
lands. Under the law as it now stands
it would be many years before the state
would receive the benefit of the grant,
and Secretary Smith believes that the
state can carry out better the intention
of congress if it gets control of the en-
tire grant at once instead of waiting
until water is secured for the lands.

President Caldwell Takes Exceptions to

CLEVELAND, Nov. 27.-President D.
w. Caldwell, of the Lake Shore, does
not see anything wrong in the railroad
presidents agreement.
There are positively no grounds
he says, whereby any legal exceptions
can be taken to the rules embodied in
the agreement Its fundamental prin-
cipal is the making and maintaining of
all fares, rates and rules of the associa-
ton"
"Do you think Senator Chandler will
be able to quash the agreement:'
What do we care for what Senator
Chandler or congress does? Nothing
illegal has been done. People down in
Washington are making all the fuss
but the will find that their efforts will
have been for naught."

The Combination That Knocked
Out Traffic in Chicago and
the East.
One of the Worst Storms Ever
Experienced in the Windy
City.
Telegraph and Telephone Wires
Are Down in All Di-
rectiOns.

CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-The storm which
ragged here all night was one of the
worst that ever struck this city. The
wind blew gale and the snow fell In
clouds. At times the snow changed to
rain or sleet and then back to snow
again. By midnight the streets were
in horrible condition and it was i'm
possible to Cross any street III the city
without getting water over the ankles.
Those who had to be out found walk
ing extremely difficult and dangerous.
The cutters in the business portion OF
the city are filed with water which can
not run Off as many of the sewer in
takes are choked with snow which is
almost impossible to dig out. Street
railway traffic is greatly delayed and
the street car companies had to abandon
some of their minor lines, devoting
their energies to keeping the main
lines open. Dispatches received here
show the same state of affairs through
out Illinois. Quincy reports howling
blizzard, with snow falling, fast i'm
peding street and railroad traffic.
Wires Down in All Directions.
Telegraph and telephone wires are
down in all directions. Peoria says the
storm is still raging, and serious dam
age is feared At Fairbury, Ills, sleet
caused considerable damage. August
E. Guenther fell and received probably
fatal injuries.
The gale was very severe on the lakes.
Comparatively few vessels are out at
this time of year and it is not expected
that there will be much loss of life, il
any The telegraph service, both east
and west, is badly crippled.
