A WISE MEASURE.

Chicago, Dec. 15.-Illinois Central
railroad officials have before them the
applications of 1900 employees of that
road, who desire to purchase stock of
the company. The Illinois Central
employs $4,000 men. More than one
fourth of the employees of the COM
pany are now stockholders, and it is
thought that soon one-half will be so
enrolled.
In the plan Of making the employees
financially interested with the execu-
tive, it is believed the company has
taken a formal step in the direction of
solving the strike problem and teach
ing the laboring classes the value of
economy.
President Fish, is the author of the
plan, which no other railroad in the
world had adopted, although it's sue
cess has been proved after months of
experience. Large manufacturing
firms and large corporate interests
are addressing the Illinois Central as
to how the scheme has worked and if
it can be applied to other industries.

Denver, Col, Dec. 15.-The fact be-
came known last night that besides
the regiment of Cuban volunteers be-
ing organized here under the leader
ship of Attorney Moatner, a company
of SO young men has quietly been rails
ed by Homer Darneli, physician of
Darnell Sanitarium, and are now
ready to start for Cuba as soon as ar
rangements can be made for their
transportation from the Atlantic coast
to the island. The members of the
company are all said to be men Of
means and have armed and equipped
themselves at their own expense and
only ask that the Cuban junta at New
York arrange for their safe landing
on Cuban soil. A brother of DR.. Oar
nell is now in New York to perfect ar
rangements for the transportation of
the company.

IRRIGATION CONGRESS-.
REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COM
MITTEE WITH SUGGESTIONS.
Forestry and Irrigation They Say Should
Come Under Direction of United
States Congress.

Phoenix, Ariz., Dec. 15.-At yester-
days session of the national irriga-
ton congress, Mr.. e. FL. Moss, chair
man Of the executive committee, sub
mitted the annual report of the COM
mittee. The report says: ''The work
laid out for the committee for 1896
had not been fully accomplished nor
was ii as satisfactory to the men,
bers as it would have been had they
not been handicapped in many ways.
Nearly every senator and represen-
tative in congress has been written
to and explicitly told what was de-
sired and their cooperation was ask
ed. Avery strong sentiment in favor
Of irrigation has been found. The
press has given valuable assistance
to the cause and the railroads have
shown no lack of interest In the work,
many Of the officials Of the railroads
having given personal attention to
re work, that in many ways had
been productive Of great good.
surprising as it may seem people
Of the west and east, and south are
waking up to the need of irrigation
even in their own property and in
many places are experimenting in ir-
securing larger crops
knowing that it will raise the value
of their lands In many ways we
have been encouraged. Not the least
Interested in this work are the char
liable organizations and the provident
societies, especially the latter, for the
answer to the question, what shall
we do with the unemployed" is found
in the great plains and colonization
schemes.
Congress should legislate on this
subject. A bill or bills creating ma
tional irrigation commission and ma
tional forestry commission should be
passed The duty of the irrigation
| commission should be to look after ir-
rigation in it's every way and form,
all irrigation works and property in
| every state, and to take charge of
all irrigation works and property in
an indirect way and report direct to
congress. or the interior or agricultu-
| raj departments, the progress of IT.
| rigation and make such suggestions
| as would be for its future advance
ment until every bit of arid land is
| thus developed.
''The necessity for a forestry com.
mission was as important to this coun'
try as the forests, for without the for
mer we would soon have none of the
latter. Sooner or later we will not
| feel the loss of forests in dollars and
cents so much as we would in con-
| serving the water for irrigation"
The committee recommended legis-
lation on the following subjects in the
shape of bills for presentation at
Washington:
Interstate streams; international
| streams; the reclamation Of arid and
semiarid lands; pastoral land; irriga,
ton surveys and appropriations for
| irrigation.

\ BAD LOT.
Wholesale Defect In Battleship Steel.
1t Breaks Like Cast Iron.

II pIcdhS LINZ SdSl 1IOn.
New York, Dec. ia special from
Newport News, Va, says: Net results
of the experiments of the commission
which is investigating battleship
steel may be summed as equal to the
condemnation of nearly the whole
amount now stacked up in the New
port News ship building company's
yard. Six out of twelve test pieces
which should have folded back on
themselves without breaking, broke
short off as readily as cast iron, or
tore apart with less brittleness, but
with none the less certain evidence of
failing to reach the contract require
ment. Such wholesale failure has
caused the board to go quite eXtens-
lively into testing the other plates and
81 pieces have been marked out OF
plates ranging between a weight of
10 pounds and % pounds to the square
foot Out of dozen specimens test
ed four had shown brittleness so
extraordinary as to raise doubts
whether their chemical qualities could
be otherwise that dangerously bad.
Some of the plates were cracked be-
fore the bending was completed, show
ing brittleness probably from over car
bombing, or the presence of phospho-
rous. In other words half the spec
linens failed to come up to the gov
eminent requirement. The board
held a private consultation at the end
of which the following conclusion was
reached: Specimens are to be taken
from upward of 20 plates on Wednes-
day next. The board will recOnvene
at the Newport News ship yard to
prosecute further tests upon Thurs
day and Friday. The specimens will
be tested at the Norfolk navy yard.
On Saturday the board will meet
again at Newport News and it will
then decide what further inquiry and
experiments are necessary.

THE HUNTERS PLIGHT.
Yhey Have Returned From Their
Trip With a Sad Tale.

Yhey Have Returned From Their
Trip With a Sad Tale.
Harry Wurzbach and Gus Heye left
Saturday evening with complete
camping outfit for hunt along the
Hondo road, south of the city.
Through the kindness of Mr. Rohde,
a well known farmer, the hopeful
hunters were granted the use of lit
tie frame house located on Mr..
Rohde's land, as an abiding place dur
ing their stay.
Fresh and early on Sunday morn
ing they started on their hunt, leav-
ing a fire in the house, so that they
could prepare their game on their re-
turn and enjoy a peaceful Sunday din
ner. They were not gone long, when
Harry Wurzbach spied fine big
buck. Just then he noticed a cloud
Of smoke in the direction of their
camp. He thought Of the fire in the
house, and without even taking aim
ut the fine buck he turned and imme-
diately went toward the house. On
arrival at the camp he discovered the
house ablaze. 1t burnt to the ground
with all it's contents. Gus Heye was
also attracted by the smoke and soon
learned what had happened. 1t was
anything but a pleasant undertaking
to inform Mr.. Rohde Of the situation,
but it had to be done.
Mr.. Rohde took the. news goOd-na-
turedly, for he realized the hunters
feelings. The total loss is about $500.
The hunters returned Sunday night,
but had not sufficiently recovered from
the effects Of their sad experience I'M
til yesterday to relate it. They are
unable to say how the fire originated.
