COMING CONVENTION

Flood Waters Hold Pre-
lininaru MeetiOO
liminary Meeting


The San Francisco delegation to the
convention to be held next week under
tie call of the California State Association
for the Storage of Flood Waters met last
evening at the Palace Hotel and made
preliminary arrangements for the conven-
ton 1t was decided that the convention

A recommendation was also made that the
officers of the convention should consist
of president, two vice presidents and
incidentally the subject of the opposi-
ton of the delegates from Southern Cali
fornia to the State plan was discussed,
and President Thomas made some re-
marks. He said there were points in the
National Irrigation Associations plan
upon which the advocates of the State
plan could agree. He believed that all
from the Government all that the Govern
ment would give, but he reiterated that
the Government has no ownership of the
water in q stream, nor does 1t own the
bed of the stream, and that all its right,
constitutionally, in the matter is to regu-
late navigation between States and with
foreign countries; also that If the Gov
eminent were to construct storage reser-
voirs for the purpose of maintaining the
levels of rivers there could be no help for
irrigators from that source. The meeting
was we'll attended. Chief Justice Beatty
presided.
The fact being recognized that there
will be many delegates at the convention
who have not reached definite conclusions
it will probably be advocated upon the
floor Of the convention that a permanent
organization shall be formed. F. w.
Dohrmann Is the choice of the San Fran
cisco delegation for temporary chairman
of the convention.

ANOTHER CHALLENGER
FOR AMERICAS CUP
Alfred Harmsworth, Proprietor of the
London Daily Mail, Would
Like to Compete.

NEW YORK, Nov. "a cable message
was received in this city to-day saying
that Alfred Harmsworth, editor and pro-
prietor of the London Daily Mail, intended
to have a challenger prepared to race here
for the Americas cup next summer. Mr..
Harmsworth has written letter to Sir
Thomas Upton to say that he would like
to have a chance at the great yachting
prize, and asking about Sir Thomas in
tentions In the letter he said that unless
the owner of the Shamrock intended to
try again in 1900 he (Mr. Harmsworth)
would like TO put in one.
Sir Thomas probably will not be pre-
pared for a race next season, owing to the
fact that he had offered his steam yacht
to the British Government 10 be used as
a hospital vessel in the Transvaal war
He proposes to fit out the vessel for
these uses, and she consequently would
not be ready for attendance in America
unless the Boer war be terminated soon.
