IRRIGATION OF ARID LANDS.
Doubtful If the National Govern
ment Will Take UP the Matter.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 25.-Presi-
dent Thomas of the California Society
for the Storage of Flood Water. said
to-day that he did not believe the Ma
uonal Government could be induced to
provide large reservoirs for the irriga-
ton OF arid regions. He added:
california can act for herself. be-
cause the sources of her water supply
all arise within the State. Other States
cannot act independently because they
nave not that advantage. California
can borrow money at per cent. To
invest money in State irrigation works
would be insuring an asset of the
state, which owns the flood waters. In
nfty years the works would be paid
for, and the income could be used for
public purposes.
There may be contest on the part
OF some of the delegates from South
ern California at the coming conven-
ton, which we all regret, for the crea-
ton OF storage reservoirs would be for
the benefit of all the State, which might
be divided into three irrigating dis
tricts. Southern California would be
equally benefited with other sections. !"

To-Day a Majority Of the Delegates VIII
Depart for Their Homes.
Much Feeling Stirred UP by the
Passage Of Resolutions De-
nouncing the Administrations
Policy in the Philippines and on
the Interpretation Of the Anti
Canteen Law.

SEATTLE, Oct. 25.-The National w.
c. t. u. closed it's twenty sixth annual
convention and silver jubilee in this
city to-day and tomorrow Will witness
the departure of large number of the
delegates. Some will remain on the
coast visiting and a number VIII 70 to
Southern California.
The excitement of the denunciatory
resolutions of the Administrations pol
icy in the Philippines and on the in
! depreciation of the anti-canteen law,
passed yesterday, had not died out
when to-day's meeting convened. Many
delegates insist that the union made a
serious mistake in oondemn;ng the Ad-
| ministration.
A high officer, IN an authorized inter-
view to-day, while refusing to allow
! her name to be used, said: THE un-
ion made the mistake of its life in
passing the resolution. In order to
further our temperance work we have
much to ask of the Administration, ard
our requests will have but little weight
when by our minutes we show that we
have no faith in President Mckinley
and the official heads of our Govern
ment. The union will live to regret
yesterdays work.
/ Throughout the session to-day moth
| ing was said about yesterdays resolu-
ton. Mrs. Hannah ]. Bailey of Maine,
| Superintendent of the Peace ard In
ternational Arbitration Department,
under the auspices of which the Phil
ippine war resolution was introduced

made to the criticisms by her commit

ALASKA.
Work Accomplished by the Terri

JUNEAU (Alaska), Oct. p, via Seat
tie, Oct. 25.-The Alaska Territorial
Convention, which has been in session
for more than week, adjourned to-
day.
The most important work accom-
plished was the adoption of a memorial
to Congress and the selection of John
G. Price of Skaguay as a representa-
tive to go to Washington in the inter-
ests of the people of Alaska.
The memorial to Congress provides
for two additional Judges of the Dis
trict Court, a delegate to Congress;
Probate Judges haying in addition to
the usual probate powers jurisdiction
in certain civil and criminal cases;
Commissioners having the jurisdiction
of Justices of the Peace, and Magis-
trateS with like powers for incorpora-
ted cities and towns; for education of
the white children of the district; for a
civil code and a code of civil procedure;
for amendments to the criminal code;
for a general municipal Incorporation
law; for the extension to the district
Of the homestead, timber and stone and
coal land laws, with provisions for spe-
cial individual surveys and for modi-
fications in the mineral land laws to
stop the wholesale appropriation by a
few individuals of the public mineral
lands.

CHIEF ENGINEER MELvILLE.
His Annual Report Offers Some
Pertinent Suggestions.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-The three
leading features of the annual report
of Rear Admiral Melville. Engineer in
Chief Of the navy, are the chapters de-
voted to personnel, to the merits of
electric versus steam machinery, and
the proposition to consolidate the naval
construction work.
The general lessons of the war, it is
said, were in no way Indicative of any
desirable change in the machinery of
our ships, with the exception Of in
creasing the evaporating plants and
the adoption with all practicable and
economical promptness of the water
tube type Of boilers. ~
Admiral Melville expresses his ina
bility to see indications of the bene-
fits to the navy which was expected to
result from the operations of the pei
sonnel. He said that his hope was to
see a vast addition to the number of
officers who would give attention II e,t-
gineering matters, and he still hopes
that comprehensive union of the line
engineering vocations will result, and
that no department regulations nay
be permitted which will prevent this
consummation. Departmental regu-
lations insisting upon service of the
line of the officers alternately in the
engine rooms as we'll as on deck are
necessary, he says, to give them prec-
tice.
An important chapter in the report
deals with the scope of the work now
executed by the Bureau of Steam En-
gineering, which is set out in order to
combat the proposition to amalgamate
the constructive bureaus of the Navy
Department, a matter which the Ad-
miral regrets has even been speculat-
ed on.
He says that not only is the trend
of modern mechanical works in all
branches toward Increased specializa-
tion, but the wisdom of such a trend is
not questioned by the leading talent in
the outside world of constructive work.
The Steam Engineering Bureau has
hnaIly arrived at the conclusion that
1t is mistaken policy to carry so far
along the practice of driving the aux
llary machinery of ships by electricity,
and the present report presents a
strong line of reasoning to support it.

PHILIPPINE ARCHIPELAGO.
NEW PEACE TERMS OFFERED
BY THE INSURGENTS.
A Representative OF Aguinaldo on
His Way to Washington to Lay
Matter Before Government.

NEW YORK, oct. pa special TO
the World" says:
senor Antonio Regidor, now in Lon
don, will sail for the United States
within three weeks, and, as a fully ae-
credited representative OF Aguinaldo,
viii present to President Mckinley new
terms for ending hostlltes and recon
struetlng the Government OF the ISL
ands, The coming Of the representa-
tive n kept n close secret by the Ad-
mnlstratlon, but from high author
lty the world correspondent learna
these are the terms Aguinado desires:
Firt-Absolute free trade between
the United states and the Philippine
Islands. carrying with Il the fullest
commercial favor between the two
countries.
Second-perfeet religious freedom ae
now exists under the Government OF
Agulnaldo, the same being a eonces-
sion made by him to the wishes OF the
United States.
Third-Coallng stations for the United
States upon all important islands of
the archipelago, to De selected by the
United States and cedetl outright for
ever by the Filipinos. This would in
clude Manila.
Fourth-Military reservations at Ma
nila, Iloilo Panay, Mindora, Negros,
Masbate, Samar Mindonlcc and such
other islands as may be determined
upon by both Governments.
Fifth-The appointment of United
States officials in customs and all other
internal branches, to oe selected by the
Tntt Tod I
Government
Sixth-The introduction Of the Amer
lean police system.
Seventh-The establishment of a jul
dietary system such as exists in the
island of Cuba.
Eighth-The reconstruction of the en-
tire Filipino Government upon lines as
nearly consistent with those prescribed
by the Constitution of the United States
and adapted to the requirements of the
natives.
Ninth-Recognition of the Filipino
Government as an independent repub-
lie, under a protectorate of the United
States.
Senior Regidor will have plenipoten-
tiary powers to treat with the United
States Government upon all of these
points, in order to reach an agreement
by which hostilities may cease.
Senior Regidor will be the most inn
portant political emissary ever sent to
the United States by the Filipinos. He
will have more power than Agoncillo,
who was summarily driven out of
Washington after presenting a me-
mortal to Congress, which was notable
alone for it's indiscreet attack upon the
United States. Senior Regidor will rep
resent Aguinaldo himself. Regidor is
said to be a man of great ability and
learning, having had a long expert
ence in European diplomatic circles.
The Filipino Government has had nc
representation here since the Danish
ment of Agoncillo. But the Administra-
ton has been fully informed of the
demands of Aguinaldo and his advisers
through the dispatches of General Otis
and the secret service maintained by
this Government in Europe.
