To Water Arid Plans

DENVER, Colo, August 11.-Colonel
Balcom Of New York arrived in Den
yer today to make arrangements to
carry forward a gigantic irrigating
project in Western Colorado and Utah,
in which he has become interested.
The plan is to irrigate Mesa county,
Cal, and Grand Canyon, Utah. The
canal will start at the head of Platte
Creek, above Grand Junction, following
the Grand River and then branching Off
to the west, running through now
practically arid section. In the first
six miles the canal will irrigate $4,000
acres in Colorado alone and 10000 in
Utah, provided the Utah State govern
ment consents to build two-mile tun-
mel, through which the water would be
conveyed. The water will be drawn
from the Grand River. The Plateau
Grand Canal Company has been incor-
porated to carry out the enterprise.

CONSTANTINOPLE, August TO-
The Peace Conference met again to-
day at Tophaneh Kiosk, and Tewfik
Pasha, Turkish Minister for Foreign
Affairs, submitted proposals regarding
the evacuation of Thessaly, the indem-
nifty and other issues involved. This is
likely to cause a tedious delay.
The difficulty seems to turn on the
question of the evacuation. The Pow
ers informed Greece that Turkey lacked
the means to withdraw troops from
Thessaly unless f1, 100000 OF indemnity
was paid down.
They asked the Greek Government
if it would be impossible, except by
the aid of a foreign loan, which the
proposed scheme of control precluded.

From scientific standpoint, the ex-

for when the resounding blows and

but to consider that they battled at
least 16 minutes before one Of the sec
onds of Corbett made a claim for first
blood, which, by the way, cannot be
distinguished in the pictures, nor can
blood be seen on either FitZsimmOns
or Corbett at any time during the con-
test.
The pictures are remarkably clear,
the muscles showing clear and distinct.
Each round is given complete, and not
a particle of detail is lost. In the vari-
Gus rounds Corbett has clearly the best
OF the contest; always active and alert,
it seems improbable that he could lose,
but in the 14th round the end came,
and the foul blow is plainly seen. After
he recovered from the effects of the
blow Corbett is seen wildly rushing at
Fftzsimmons and assaulting him until
carried away by his seconds.
The management has decided to give
another exhibition tonight, believing
that there are many more ladies who
would like to witness such a contest

VIII Not Accept Russian Money In
Building Railroad.
VANCOUVER, B. c., August IL
The Shanghai Daily Press recently
mentioned that China will not use Rus
sian money, though offered, for the
building Of her railways in Manchuria.
The report has been corroborated by
the Shen Pao, which has a paragraph
from it's Peking correspondent to the
same effect, with a further statement
that after the Russian offer was de-
clined the special ambassador tried to
get the Chinese to consent to build
their railways with the same gauge as
the Russian, thereby enabling the cars
to cross each others lines to the ad-
vantage Of the commerce of both
countries. The Peking Government has
declined it's consent to this proposal.
The comments of the press are to the
effect that China fears the growing
power of Russia in the Orient
AdviceS from Vladivostock state that
the Russian Government intends to
make an attempt to keep the port open
all the year round. A tremendous ice
boat, built in Denmark, has been
brought around from Europe, and the
inventors, who accompanied the YES
sci, are sanguine Of success.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, August 11.-Fu-

by an overwhelming majority, severed

Democracy on the free-silver issue and
nominated full State ticket, headed
by Jacob Coxey of '"Commonweal"
fame as the nominee for Governor
Turulent scenes marked the conven-
ton. At one point when Peter Witt, a
delegate, charged that the Republican
party leaders had bought up the con-
vention, a score of delegates jumped to
their feet, crowding around the chair
on which Witt stood.
When one of the delegates attempted
to pull Witt off the chair the latter
struck at the delegate and a general
melee ensued, in which several blows
were exchanged and chairs raised
aloft in a threatening manner. A DO
liceman who was present rushed up
and interrupted the hostilities, and a
few minutes later platoon of police
reached the convention hall, and Witt
proceeded after quiet had been re-
stored, with a bluecoat in each aisle.
The police remained until the conven-
tion took a final adjournment.
