THE AFTERNOON SESSION.
Many Papers Read and Interesting
 Impromptu Remarks.

The storm clouds had dissipated when the delegates reassembled for the afternoon session, and with the knowledge that time was valuable the programme was expeditiously gone through with. Markedly interesting and instructive addresses were deliv- cred by Dix W. Smith of Elmira, N. Y., on "A Legal Aspect of Irrigation" and w. s. Creighton of Los Angeles, on "The Wright Law"
 Professor A. c. Blount of New Mex ico spoke entertainingly on Soils" He said that common mistake with irrigators was too lavish a use of water. Two inches to an irrigation is ample, and a greater application is not only wasteful, but injurious to the crops. The manner in which the Mex jeans use the water in this country is absolutely ruinous.
 J. D. Schuyler referred his paper on Irrigation in British Columbia and Results to the secretary for publica- tion
 Relation of Forest to Water Sup ply was the subject assigned to T.
  pealed ably for the preservation of the forests, and advocated the passing of law making it a penalty for leav- | ing campfres to spread destruction through the forests. The finding of fires lately deserted by camping par ties should be prima facie evidence that they are responsible and they should be punished accordingly. i w. o. O'Neill and E. D. Hudson filed their reports without reading them MT. Hudson saying that he believed too much of good thing was good fo1 nothing. Then Captain w. A. Glass ford, U. s. A., eX-chief of the signal service at Denver, addressed the con-
 vention on ''The Climatology of the
 Arid Region" This was a scientific dissertation on an interesting subject Captain GlassfOrd, who looks the gal. lant soldier every inch of him, sait the newspapers in their weather re. ports should publish only the sensible temperature, and that everything DOS
 sible should be done to dispel the falst impressions entertained by stranger. to the climate of this section.
 W. o. O'Neill at this moment came forward with another resolution tha
 at all future sessions of the congress papers on special subjects should b, distributed in printed form among thu delegates, so that they will be pre- pared to discuss them. The resolu <, tion was referred to the committe on resolutions without debate. lCnntinned on Fn1rth Paeel

It Stirred Up Considerable
 Lively Discussion.
Wanted the Congress to Do Some- thinR-Several interesting Papers Presented-NeW Members Signed the Roll Last Night.


 upon the second days session of the fifth national irrigation congress, The perennial blue of the Arizona sky inspired the visitors to eXtravagant expressions of delight with the eli mate Beribboned delegates stood at the street corners in groups and chat ted about the doings of the congress, the results to be accomplished, the city of Phoenix (which had proved gen. uine surprise and pleasure to all of them) and incidentally introduced little politics, by way of diversion. This was kept up until the hour of con- venirg drew near, when they went to join their fellow delegates in the opera house.
 The same peaceful atmosphere of harmony and good feeling prevailed in the convention hall. The stage was set that way. The mimic scenery from the wings showed glimpses of sylvan beauty-great umbrageous trees that stretched up to rocky passes where countless villains have hurled hapless heroines into rivers of real water This splendid old forest view was admirably relieved by the pretti- ness of palms and flowers which, with the colors of red, white and yellow, made an ensemble of softness and gen. tleness quite in keeping with the sur face indications of the meeting. The gallery loges were we'll filled with citi- zens, and many ladies gave an added charm to the proceedings by their presence
 Chairman Booth smiled serenely as he called the meeting to order Assis- tant Secretary George A. Mintz read several letters from delegates who are unavoidably absent. One from an Omaha delegate gave as an excuse for non-attendance that the state was sick abed with politics and had lost sight of irrigation. This was facetiously de- nounced as forgery by member from that state. Both the English and French consuls, George Q Cannon of Nevada and otehl notable personages sent letters of regret Before the reading of pa pers had begun Gen. A. J. Sampson announced that all delegates were en titled to free street car rides while il the city, and that they were cordial! invited to an inspection of the Cham Der of Commerce exhibits. The chair man, after inviting the governor, may or and the members of the local com mittee to occupy seats on the stag, whenever they should be present, in troduced Mrs. Ada Irwin of Phoenix who read a paper on ''The Adaptation of the Present Land Laws for Colon, Sites" She handled her subject in
 forcible, logical manner, and wa raptly listened to and generously ap plauded. She appealed strongly fo the colony plan, and said all lands un der this system could be made avail able for speedy reclamation

SHEA WAS ELECTROCUTED.
Murderer scientifically Put to Deati,
in New YOrk-Declared that He
Was Innocent.

Dannemora, N. Y, Feb. 11.--Batholo-
new Shea died in the electrical chair to-
day, paying the penalty for the murder
of Robert Ross at Troy, in March, 1894.
Shea was attended to the gollows by a
clergyman from hls home, and by a priest
from the Roman Catholic church of this
place.
After receiving the last sacrament he
said: ~ am innocent, father, innocent
an assertion which he repeated during the
rite of anointment.
When he was conducted into the death
chamber he started as he came in sight
of the electrical chair, but said nothing.
It was 9:55 when Shea entered the
room and 9:58:45 when he was pronounced
dead.
The current sent the body tightly
against the straps and the neck and
barred legs grew purple.
For thirty-one seconds the contact was
maintained and reduced to light voltage
for thirty-one seconds.
When the current was turned off, there
was an escape of air from the filled lungs
and DR.. Ransom ordered the current on
again.
A contact of twenty. seven seconds was
maintained and then the stethescope
failed to show any life.
The escape of air from the lungs sound
ed.like prolonged sigh and made some
people think that there was life, but the
physiclans SAID that death was instantan-
eOus.

San Bsrnardino, CAL, Feb. 1.-two
new points of evidence that the man now
confined in the county Jail is really Fran
els Schlatter developed yesterday. One
is comparison of his own handwriting
with that of Sohlatter, and the other is
the statement of another prisoner in the
Jail who saw Schlatter in Denver. He ia
positive that the man here and the healer
are identical.
The strange man would not write ask.
ing for his release, but was finally in
duced to write his name. When he re.
turned the slip of paper it contained the
words: "Elijah Lyon" This was a
small scrap of penmanship to compare
with the letter of the genuine Schlatter
and the name is not the same as any word
in the letter, but there is a great similar
ity even in the small sample obtained.
The other prisoner, who claims to
recognize the man as Schlatter, is also q
tramp who happened to be in Denver
when Schlatter's reputation was at its
height, and along with others went to see
the healer.

Stuart. however, remains confident and
declares that the fights surely will come

word az far as the big fight is concerned

LONDON WANTS IT.
El Paso Texas.--Martin Julian has re-
ceiyed the following cablegram:
"London, Feb. 9.-Should the contest
not take place and there is no chance to
pull it off, the National Sporting club OF
London will post $4,000 for twenty
round fight. Wire acceptance or declina-
tion to A. l.. Lumley, New York.
"RFUTER."
When Julian opened this message he
crum pied it up and said Indignantly:
"Well, what do you think of thats Here
we are fighting to a finish for cheap
purse ana taking chances against sol
diers, when we might pull the fight on In
the best sporting club in the world and
Get lot Of money out of it,"
Julian seem sd very much out OF sorts
and in view of the message from London
he will evidently not be broken-hearted
if the contest is prevented and the big
fight driven from this hemisphere to
London.
