THE FABRICATION CONGRESS.

THE Toledo Blade has the following to say with reference to the national irrigation congress, which will begin its work tomorrow:
 On Dscsm ber l5 tho fifth session of the National Irrigation Congress will be- gin its deliberations, in Phoenix, Arizona The first session of this hody was held in Salt Lake Oity, the second in Los Angeles, the third in Denver, and the fourth in Albuquerqus. It will be seen that its meeting plsces are all in "arid Amerios, where the need of irrigation is recognized by every ono ss necessary factor m the,r prosperity. But the question, in its broader sense, is nation al
 Irrigation offers the ssfest and surest investment for capital. It is the only means by which much of the capital now invested in all kipds of mortgages in the semi-arid and arid regions will ever receive remunerstive returns. It is the only mesns of giving homes to thousands of homesssksrs in the most beautiful, fertile and delightful part of the United States. The dey of theoriz- ing in irrigation is past. The time for action has come. Hence its promoters

SHARKEY IS A FRAUD.
There is no Question But What There
 Was a Conspiracy.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1.-The evi- dence in the Fitzsimmons-Sh8rkey cass today was along the lines of the testi- mony previously given, and Fltzsim- moDs and Julian have certainly fulfilled their promise to produce story of cons- piracy that would stsrtle the sporting world. George Allen, Sharkey's second and assistant trainer, was the principal witness today. His evidence corroborat- ed in the main the testimony given by Australian Billy Smith. On cross ex- amin nation Allen admitted that while Shsrkey after the fight gave 10 external evidence of injury in the groin, he asked for water when taking to his dressing room, and when water was brought directed Allen to bathe his groin. Allen considered that Sharkey had been fairly knockouted by Fitzsimmops, ,and declares that DO foul blow had been struck by the latter. He was so impressed by the fact that Sharkey was knocked out that after the sailor had been down six seo- onds he started to throw up his towel to indicate Sharkey's surrender. Allen ssid he helped to carry Shsrkey into the dressing room, from which all but Shsrkey, Lynch and the trainers were excluded. In the dressing room Shark ey was carefully examined and the wit ness WAS positive he was at that time uniniured in the groin. After Sharkey was taken to his hotel and the trainers excluded from Sharkey's room, Lynch, Danny Needhsm and Dr. Lee were alone with Shsrkey. Shortly, from his position outside the room, the witness said he heard Sharkey cry out, as if In pain. When be next saw Shsrkey, on the following day, his groin was bsn dagsd and there were stains of blood on the groin. He applied lamentations to the groin. which was then swollen and discolored. No doctor was permitted to examine Shsrkey in the dressing room immediately after the fight. although several, including 8 physician of the National Athletic club, applied for ad- mittance and rendered their services. According to the witness Lynch said; "We want no doctor here." William Abbot, who sat close to the ring, corro- borsted Aliens testimony.

THE CUBAN SITUATION.

Senator Cullom Ct rtainiy voices the sentiments Of every !i.erty. loving citizen in Uncle Sau;s domain in lis speech
 upon the Gu ban question. The Spanish papers of Havana are urging Wey Ter on to butchery as the only means of CT dioR the war. These bu.cheries include women, children and pon-combstanta, but they argue that this is but the forture of WAT, cali 1t necessity, and ct it 60 at that. 1be civilized world firds DO excuse for this wholesale but chery, and there is nothing which can justify the outrRgss which have been COD mitted under the orders of Wey Her. It there were DO other reason why the United States should interfere, the wholesale slaughter of the innocent and helpless is enough. Should this gov ernment stand by in a state of "inocuoue desuetude" and permit the ruthless murderer of women and children almost within sight of her shores? If the eelf- interest of the United States does not demand interference, humanity calls for action, and all thie asinine quibblipg over few immsterial techDicalitIes iD international law, while murder and rspine run riot, is simply criminal, to spesk of it in the very mildest terme. Spain's inhuman action in Cuba is ample cause for any patIon on earth to wipe her murderous army out of exit ence, and upon the shoulders of this government reets the chef burden of putting en immediate end to sn era of disgrsceful warfare. which has cost the lives of thousands of innocents, as we'll ss the blood of myriads of as noble patriots as ever sought to breathe the air of freedom.
 The name of James G. Blaine has been upon millions of lips for sometime past, and many have been the fearful wiebes that be might have occupied the presidential chair. just for little, during this struggle of the brave Cub ans.

REvIsE THE GAME LAWS.

 THERE is ono measure which should receive attention at the hands of the next territorial legislature, upon which there is no difference of opinion. It ii suoh revision of our game laws ss will protect deer md antelope from sxtir- minstion. As the law now stands there is nothing to prevent the killing of doe or of fswn. and the numbers of them which are being brought to market, indicate very plainly that but . short time will slspse before both the deer and the antelope will go the way of the buffalo.
 For sometime past the seasops have not been very favorable for these sni- msls. especially in the vslieys. end their numbers have deorsssed somewhat. This year, however, hes provided them with plenty of feed and they have left their mountain retreats and are seen on the plsins in great numbsrs, whore they are killed indIsorininstely.
 The lev should bs co amended ss to make it serious offsnss to kill doe ct any ssasop. Fsvns, too, should be pro- tectsd until they have attained the age of oos year.
 If such laws wsFe enacted and en- forced, it would not be many years until the herds of these beautiful animals would bs very materially increased, and there would bs bucks enough to supply the market demand, e we'll @ to furnish ample psstime and enjoyment for sports men.
