On the Yaqui and Mayo Rivers.

President Diaz, in his recent mes- sage to Congress, said: During the period covered by my report 782,00 hectares of vacant and national land have been reduced to private prop erty, as result of grants following on announcements, Of sales of land to private individuals and to cOlonists, of compositions and of grants made to surveying companies in compensation for the work of survey. These land transactions have yielded to the federal treasury, Sl33,5 in the shape of cancelled public securities. In re- gard to colonization the rapidity with which the Yaqui and Mayo river valleys are being settled up, is deserv ing of special men tion. The engineer ing commission operating in the state of Sonora has given farming lots along the Mayo river to 2033 persons, thus practically completing the settlement of that region. The Indians who have lately surrendered have begun to settle in the Yaqui valley; 346 families consisting of l ,26l individuals have presented themselves to the com mission with applications for lots. h addition to the paciied Indians, POI families consisting of 968 persons, have made applications for lots in the towns of Torin and Cocorito. The colonization company operating in the valleys of those rivers and which owns lands outside of the towns, has completed an irrigation ditch, forty kilometers in length, and as provided by it's contract has begun to supply water to the new settlements.

The rumor that Austria Hungary Is
anxious to form a combination with
Great Britain and Italy, to secure reforms
in Turkey, and advocates using force to
that end if necessary. may not be al
together a rumor. Such a combination,
backed by Germany, or with Germany
neutral, would put Russia entirely out
of the deal, as the interests Of the lat
ter and those of Austria Hungary re-
specting Turkey are Numerically OPP
posed. There is no common ground on
which they could meet touching the mat
ter. The combination in question would
be calculated to aid Austria immensely
in carrying out Turkish policy she has
cherished for over a hundred years, and
would be a concession to Magyar hatred
of Russia.
Apart from this, however Austria I'M
derstands better than any of the other
great Powers of Europe the art Of man
aging and pacifying peoples of such
diverse races and creeds as inhabit some
of the Turkish provinces. Again, she
has no ambition respecting Turkish ter
ritory, the realization OF which would
menace British interests in that quar-
ter. She does not covet Constantinople,
and to put her in possession OF the
spois she would most likely ask would
have in various ways the effect OF
strengthening the British hold on the
Bosphorus, and safeguarding British and
Italian interests in the Mediterranean.

THE PRACTICAL QUESTION.

Comptroller-of- the-Currency EcKes ~
quoted as having said In the HOUSE
Committee on Banking and currency
Tuesday that he agreed with Mr. walker
the chairman of the committee, IN the
statement that under the present law
the United states had the most expeh-
sIve currency system OF any hrs'-class
nation" The system. added Mr. walker
was the result OF immediate necessities
sprlnging from the late war.
Precisely. Mr.. Eckels and Mt "a'ne'
unite in n proposition. the truth OF whion
has been sadly apparent TO Inc ni"9s''
for wears. and which is especially en-
phasized by present conditions through
out the country Particularly expensive
to the general public and the genera
business interests OF the country mas
been. and Is, the existing system-a sys-
tenn which Mr.. Walker and Mir. EcKels
virtually criticise as entitled no longer 10
any standing in the great financial courts
OF the world And now the pracucah
pointed, and probing question Is Nhat
are Mr. Walker and his committee anu
Congress going to do about 1t? Nothing
we fear, unless the PEOPLE and the DUST
ness organizations take Mr. Walker
advice. given in his address in this city,
and determine to allow congressman no
rest until currency reform is an accom-
plished fact.

OUR CAPITOL.

The Pennsylvania State-House. which
was destroyed by fire on Tuesday. was
about three-quarters Of a century old,
and was an Anticipated affair, though
great sums OF money had been spent
upon 1t to adapt it TO the States uses.
Still it was very dear to the people, many
of whom shed tears of sorrow when its
walls fell in.
We may expect our Virginia Capitol to
share a like fate some day, unless the
Legislature provides for fire-proofing 1t
throughout.
The foundations of our State Capitol
were laid in 1855, before the Federal Con-
stitution had been adopted. and it
is, therefore, by long odds the Oldest
building of the sort in the United States
Not only this, but it has been the scene
of some Of the most exciting Legisla-
tive events in our country's history, in
Guiding those incident to the sessions of
the Confederate Congress.
We wish our Legislature would ar
range to fire-proof the Capitol. 1t might
be done year by year, as the Legislature
could find the money to do it. The
building has been on fire more than q
dozen times, and nothing but constant
watching has kept it from destruction.
BY the substitution of the present
Orders, beams. and roof-timbers with
iron-work, the old building could be pre-
served for ages to come. Thus, We
should avoid the expense to which
Pennsylvania is now to be subjected,
and thus also, we could preserve TO
posterity one of the buildings m this
country that are richest in historical as
encia fiOnS
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1897-02-04
We have golden opportunity there. but
are without the strength to grasp II.
COME TO nook.

We desire TO say to our friend, the
Roanoke World. that It does injustice
to the Dispatch in charging us with
emphasizing the probable cost OF a
constitutional convention" and with or
iginating the idea that the Legislature
might be called into extra session to
provide for the election OF delegates to
the convention.
We do not recall that we have ever
made an estimate as TO the cost OF
holding such a convention. No doubt
some OF our correspondents have stated
that a convention would cost this or
that sum: but we do not hold ourselves
responsible for their estimates. III the
chief work that is expected OF con-
vention were determined by public opin-
ion before the convention met, the
cost ought not TO exceed that OF regu-
lar session Of the General Assembly.
But II n convention should be held be-
fore there IS any very definite idea as
10 what II is expected to do, its SEES
sion would be much longer. and would,
OF course cost more. The only argu-
ment that we have used against voting
for q convention now, is that owing
TO the disturbed condition of parties in
Virginia we might get a very different
sort of convention from that which we
should like TO have.
Now, as TO the extra session matter:
The first mention we have seen OF this
was in a letter TO the Dispatch from
J. c. Parker. Esq, Of Southampton
county. published on January 18TH He is
gentleman of prominence In his section
Of the State, and is an able and ardent
advocate of voting in favor Of a conven-
ton now. We quote him as follows,
and by so doing, hope TO remove the
impression Of the World that the ex-
ira session suggestion did not come
from friendly quarter:
'If a convention be ordered in May,
the present Legislature could and pro-
badly would, be called together in extra
session, to provide for holding the con-
vention and to district the State for
election of the members of the conven-
ton. Then have tho election for mem
bers of the convention about the last
of MAY. 1898 and II the Democrats could
not elect a majority of its members az
that time, then / do not believe II Will
ever elect a majority. The Democrats OF
the State are looking 10 the, democratic
party for relief from the evil of the
Underwood Constitution"
