Addresses the Delegates.
Lincoln. Neb., Sept. 30.-Beginuing at
nine o'clock Wednesday morning, with
short recess at noon, and continuing
until late at night. the delegates to the
national irrigation congress were sur
feited with papers on irrigation topics
and discussions which followed their
presentation. The congress took action
looking to it's indefinite continuancean and
providing for the incorporation of the
national association and adoption of
constitution and bylaws. Ex-senator
elected president. The feature at the
opening of the afternoon session was
the address of Hon. W. j. Bryan. He
said he was interested in the subject of
irrigation as incidental to his interest
in the great and growing west. He
was opposed to turning over large bod
les of land to corporations controlling
water rights, unless safeguards were
thrown around the transaction to pro-
tect small holders of irrigable lands.

troll being shown on vote to adopt the
majority report of the committee on
resolutions. Resolutions were adopted
declaring thai the waters of all streams
should forever remain public property
and asking the president to withdraw
valuable timber lands from sale. A
resolution favoring postal savings
hanks was tabled.
A supplemental report of the COM
mittees on resolutions pledging the
support of the irrigation congress to
the Hermann bill now pending in the
| national house of representatives pro-
viding for the cession to the states of a
million acres of arid lands was adopted.

GREEK CABINET RESIGNS.
NJ. Ralli Fails to Secure a Vote OF Con
fidence from the BOule.

VI HIS 10 secure u SOtc OI COh-
fidence from the Boule.
Athens, Oct. 1.-The Greek cabinet
has resigned. The boule Legislative
assembly, met Thursday to consider the
peace treaty with Turkey and the po-
litical situation in general. The gal
leries were crowded and the proceed
ings were followed with intense inter-
est. M. Ralli. the premier, mounted
the tribune, and after reviewing the
events leading up to the beginning of
the peace conditions invited the cham
Der to vote confidence in the govern
ment. He proposed resolution to that
effect. Amid great excitement the
chamber defeated the resolution by a
vote of 90 to 30.
M. Ralli, when presenting to the
chamber the preliminary treaty of
peace, took strong exception to its
terms, attributing to Germany al that
had been done against Greece. He de-
cIared that he would not submit a reso-
luton approving the treaty, because it
was executory, and therefore did not
require approval. and also because such
step would be contrary to the sover-
eign rights of the state and the crown.
M. Delyannis expressed his approval of
this position, but blamed the govern
ment for again asking a vote of conf
dence, as this had already been accord
ed. Therefore, presuming that the
government was actuated by other
reasons, NJ. Delyannis said that he
would withhold his support. The vote
was then taken. Later the cabinet re-
signed.

CABINET CRISIS IN SPAIN.

Senior SnRnsta the Coming Man.


Senior SnEnsta the Coming Man.
Madrid, Sept. 30.-The entire Spanish
cabinet has resigned. The queen has ac-
cepted the cabinets resignation, but
has asked Gen. Azcarraga to continue
in office until solution of the crisis is
found. Senior Sagasta has been tele-
graphed for and it is believed that the
cabinet.
1t is said that Senior Sagasta is in
favor of supenseding Capt. Gen. Weyler
and of granting autonomy to Cuba i'm
mediately. Senior Gamazo will probably
be minister of foreign affairs in the new
cabinet.
Washington, Sept. 3o.-The news of
the Spanish cabinet crisis was first
brought to the attention of the officials
of the state department and diplomatic
officials through press bulletin from
Madrid. 1t cannot be said that the
event caused surprise among the Of
fcials of the state department. or among
the members of the diplomatic corps in
Washington. a careful inspection of
the cable news for the past few weeks
had left the general impression that
the cabinet erected in haste after the
assassination of Premier Canovas, could
not be expected to survive long. There
were several reasons for this expectation,
but perhaps the principal one was the
belief that the discussions among the
supporters of the government, caused
by the personal encounter between the
duke of Tetuan, the minister of foreign
affairs, and one of the leaders of the
dissident conservatives, had not been
healed, but had been only bridged over
temporarily.
