The State of Washington is en-
gagged in the task of retaining
1000, 900 acres of desert land within
the State limits. In order to render
the soil fertile it will be subjected to
thorough process of irrigation. For
this purpose canal $50 miles in
length will be constructed within the
next few months. Only part of this
immense tract will be irrigated at
once and if the plan succeeds, as it no
doubt will, it can be very easily ex.
tended. At present the land is use.
less, but when fertilized it will sup.
port something like $500 families.

TO GO IT ALONE.
William Jennings Bryan and
Free Silver Abandoned.
Triple Alliance on Which the "Boy
Orator" Counted Shattered.

OMAHA, Neb., Jan. l2-The triple alli-
ance, upon which William Jennings Bryan
counted to maintain him as formidable
political leader, and to carry him TO power
four years hence. has been shattered. The
united silver forces of the democrat, ,pOpulist
and republican terties, which together east
$500 900 votes at the last election, have been
split, and tho leaders of the populist army
of 100000 voters have determined to aban-
don the cause of Bryan and free silver. and
strike out on new issues, under other leader
ship.
There have been murmurs of dssatisfac-
tlon from various populist strongholds ever
since the national election, but Bryan and
the other democratic silverites paid little at
tention to them, and in Chicago and in
Omaha, in his speeches OF last week, the sill
yerite champion predicted future victories
for his united followers. as Williams did in
Boston in his speech to the Bryan-Sewall-
Williams Club.
Mr.. Bryan has received his first notice Of
the storm which was gathering about him,
and Mr.. Williams and the rest of the world
got the first intimation of its extent in an
appeal to Populist voters, which has been
approved in advance by Chairman Butler
and many other populist leaders throughout
the country

Sixteen years have elapsed since the
famous Lord Beaconsield passed from
the scenes of his earthly career, and
yet the great English statesman is
still without biography. In view of
the excellent position which Lord Bea-
consfeld occupied for SO many years
as Prime Minister of the greatest
Nation on earth, it is strange that no
one has arisen from among the num-
Der of his surviving associates to
perform this service to his memory.
Aside from doing honor to the illus
trious dead, however, it seems that o
life of the great leader should be
written as a contribution to the his
tory of England. Unless the volume
makes its appearance soon many in
teresting incidents which ought
to be Incorporated in the story
of his life will be overlooked and for
gotten. Had d'Israeli been an Ameri-
can, observes the Atlanta Constitution,
there would doubtless be in existence
at this time no less than n dozen
biographies Of him, and the fact that
England has waited SO long to put the
narrative of his career into tangible
form emphasizes a marked difference
between the two countries.

A curious parallel can be Institute

A curious parallel can be instituted
between the President elect and his
predecessor, James X. Polk, notes
Moses P. Handy in the New York
Mail and Express. Mckinley and
Polk both sprang from the dominating
Scotch'Irish race; they both served
in their State Legislatures both en-.
tered Congress young, Polk at thirty,
Mckinley at thirty four; both served
the same length of time, fourteen
years, and they were both Chairman
of the Ways and Means Committee,
and shaped the revenue policy of their
time. Polk became Speaker of the
House, and Mckinley barely missed
it. After retiring from Congress,
each became Governor of his State,
and thus they had precisely the same
legislative and executive experience
before being elected to the Presidency.

The whale has been described as q
large ambiguous animal with no hair
all over it, but, according to report.
the remains of one have been dlscov-
erep in the ice fields of Alaska which
show traces of pubescence as copious
as those displayed by the relics of the
Siberian mammoth sometimes found
inclosed in icebergs, which have pre-
served them from primeval ages. The
story lacks confirmation, like the one
recently put about that North Pa-
cifc whale had swallowed Captain
Warren, of Southampton, Long ISL
and, promptly rejected in view of the
registered official measur ement OF the
average catacean gullet, showing that
it was of insufficient calibre to take in
amiable seamen and barely large
enough to admit his compass and
tobacco box. The anatomy of the ami
NAL in Biblical times, according to the
record, gave it an ampler receptivity,
but modern sentiment is opposed to
the idea of making the case OF Jonah
precedent, as the testimony OF
science is opposed to giving the whale
q fur overcoat. Both narrations are
probably fanciful, belonging in the
category of ordinary fish stories, which
are intended to amuse rather than
convince. Only marines believe them,
even when they are decked out in all
the signs of plausibility, as these can
in no wise said to be.

CRUSADE AGAINST COOLIES
Japanese Strung up to Tree by
White Men in California.

SACRAMENTO Cal. Jan. 12-At Orange
vale, a Citrus colony in the southeastern
part of this county, crusade against coolie
labor has been inaugursted. c. G. Roos, an
orchardist, employed six japanese on his
place, and late at night 10 citizens, with
Hunny sacks over their heads. seized the
japanese. placed rope around the neck Of
each. and took them to II big oak tree.
There the Japanese were strung up, and
left hanging until life was almost extinct.
The japanese were then lowered and when
they revived the hanging process was re-
peated several times. The japanese were
then forced to march out of the settlement,
and warned never to return ON penalty OF
being hanged until dead.
Roos demonstrated against the outrage.
and rope was thrown about his neck, with
a threat to hang him if he interfered or EN-
ployed any but white laborers hereafter.

TUBERCULOSIS.
Matter That Will Occupy the Atten
tion of the Maine LEGISLATURE,

AUGUSTA, Me-, j an. 12-The subject Of
tuberculosis will occupy much attention
from the Legislature. 1t is claimed that the
cattle of the state are freer from
this disease than any other eastern state,
and it is not intended that this
reputation shall be sacrificed by de-
lay in dealing with tuberculosis. 1t is pro-
posed to pass an Appropriation to cover the
deficiency which exists in the cattle commits
sioners' department. and then to provide
enough money to cover the probable ex-
penses of the year.
The farmers demand that, when their
cattle have been condemned, they shall be
paid for them within 30 days. 1t has been
a hardship for many farmers, who have
been obliged to wait for months for
money with which to replace cattle killed
by order of the commissioners. In 1896 the
number of cattle killed by the commission
ers was 2O2 against 70 in 1895. A large herd
of cattle in Winthrop is to be tested. and it
is reported that the 5000 COWS which furnish
the Turner creamery with the milk from
which the cream supply is obtained must all
be tested without delay.

two shocks of earthquake DecN. In Juneau

accustomed by disturbances beneath the vol
