SENATOR CANNoN's VIEWS.
Thinks Spaniards Intend to Bombard
Our Cities.

Chicago, May 1S.--A special to the
Daily News from Washington says: Il
do not believe that there will be any
great naval battle" remarked Senator
Cannon. 1T is SPANS intention not
TO fight if she can escape us My
opinion is that the Spanish cruisers will
attempt TO steal along the Atlantic
coast and lombard our cities. Spain
does not want to try another bout with
US, after the experience with Admiral
Dewey"
The opinion of the leaders in CON
gress is that until they know the re-
suit OF the naval battle which is to
take place whenever Sampson and
Schley catch the Spanish fleet final ad-
journment will not be considered.

DISASTROUS INAcTIoN.
Impatient Senators Criticise McKin-
leY's Policy of Delay.

Washington, May 1S.-When the sem
ate. on motion of Senator Hawley, went
into secret session today on the quar-
termaster's BILL Mr.. Hawley read a
letter from General Flagler, chief Of
the bureau of ordnance, without wait
ing to advertise, saying that such de-
lay might at times be of very serious
consequence. The letter was not no
ticeable in any respect, except that 1t
was an official acknowledgment OF the
fact that there are still many articles
to be secured for the equipment Of the
army and that the expedition is con-
sidered necessary in securing them.
The reading Of the letter led 10 a brief
discussion of the status of military
operations, and some Impotence was
expressed regarding the delay in get
ting the military expedition TO the
Philippines started. Senator Lodge
made a brief speech on this point, ex-
pressing the hope that if the passage
of the bill would expedite in any wise
the movement of this force, il would
be put through without any further de-
lay whatever. He referred 10 the bat
tie of Manila as the most notable naval
triumph of the world, because of its
one-sidedness, and expressed surprise
and disappointment that is days should
have been allowed to elapse before
troops sufficient to enable US to follow
the naval victory with an attack upon
the Spanish land forces at Manila had
even been put in readiness to start
upon their mission
Senator German repeated his criti-
cism made in open session of the pro-
vision inserted by the conferees. but
said he would not place any barrier in
the way of action upon the report.

FIXING WATER RATE.
Courts May Establish Schedules For
Irrigation Companies.

4 decision Of great interest to Idaho
irrigators was rendered by District
Judge Stewart at Boise last Monday.
The suit was that of Robert 3. Wilson
VS.. Joseph i'errault ct al, brought to
have the court fix the rate to be
charged for water used by plaintiff for
irrigation purposes and defendants de-
INJURED on the ground that the court
had no jCisdictiorn in the matter.
Following is an abstract of Judge
Stewards opinion, which was delivered
orally:
The constitution declares, 1.-The use
of all waters now appropriated or that
may hereafter be appropriated for
sale, rental or distribution, is declared
to be public use and subject to the
regulation and control of the state in
the manner prescribed By law" Also,
THE right to collect rates or compensa-
ton for the use of water supplied .
is a franchise and can not be exercised
except by authority of law Also,
Whenever any waters have been or
shall be appropriated or used for ag-
ricultural purposes, under sale, rental
or distribution thereof, such sale, rental
or distribution shall be deemed an eX-
elusive dedication to such use; and
whenever such waters SO dedicated
shall have been sold, rented or distrib-
uted to any person who has settled
upon or improved land for agricultural
purposes with the view of receiving the
benefit OF such water under such dedi-
cation, such person shall not thereafter,
without his consent, be deprived of the
annual use of the same, when needed.
upon payment therefor, and compliance
with such equitable laws and conditions
as may be prescribed by law"
The failure OF the legislature to enact
such laws, said the court, could not
prevent the establishment of the rates
or compensation required to be estah-
lished by the constitution. The courts
have power to furnish remedy for
every wrong.
The court further said: In the alb
sence of Legislation on the subject, the
use of water being n public use under
the constitution, at common law it is
subject TO a reasonable judicial control,
invoked and exercised for the common
good. and an effort to coerce or force a
compliance with unjust or extortionate
rates or the denial of d constitutional
right is the foundation for judicial in
reference. a court of equity has jul
risdiction to hear the complaint Of
plaintiff and the demurrer is overruled.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.
Proceedings Against Derelict Parents
Instituted at Provo.

Provo. March 9.-At the meeting of
the board of education of this city last
evening, the question of compulsory
attendance of children was discussed.
1t was the belief Of the members Of the
beard that there We're several parents
in the city who were not observing the
law touching this matter. The princi-
pal of the city school, Mr.. Rawlins, was
instructed to make an investigation and
ascertain the names of all children who
are required by law to attend school,
and also the names Of the parents of
such children, and report them to the
city attorney. Under the law the neg
lect of a parent to send children to
school during n certain period of the
school year is made a misdemeanor,
and it is expected that some very in
teresting things will happen when the
matter is thoroughly investigated.
