ner Calhoun, an innocent negro. The

RUIN ON ALKALi PLAINS.
Way in Which Irrigated Farms Are Some
times Injured.

Everybody knows that in the western
half of the country there are large tracts
covered with alkali, which at distance,
resembles fields of snow. The Yellowstone
valley is arid, and irrigation is necessary
for agriculture. Only a small amount of
land is under cultivation, and water has.
been used to irrigate these fields only 70
to 10 years, but already q considera HE
area of fertile fields has been DESTROYED by
the accumulation of earthly salts NJ ar or
at the surface, preventing the growth Of
crops
Last years investigation showed that
the source OF this salt Is the underlyine
shales and other rocks-who decay pro7
duces the soils. If the climate were hui
mia the soluble materials in the soil
would be removed, but In this arid region
they tend to accumulate. Too much -vIter
has been applied to the soil in irriga, ION
and the consequent evaporation draws to
the surface the water that has percointed
into the soil. This water leaves al ar nea,,
matter that has been in solution. ana in
time the snowflake crust is formed.
The result is that though one farmer
may be exceedingly careful not to nfar

PLENARY COUNCIL.
Already Talk of It's Being
Held Two Years
Hence.

Washington, July 9.-It is said at the
residence of the apostolic delegate that
the reports emanating in the west that
a plenary council of the Catholic church
in America would be held two years
hence. are doubtless the outgrowth of
the we'll known fact that the councils
are held about every twenty years,
and that two years hence will mark the
twentyyear period from the TIME of
the plenary council of Baltimore, held
in 1882.
The assembling of such a council is
an event of unusual Importance to the
church. as it brings together the entire
hierarchy of archbishops and bishops to
frame the legislation of the church APP
plicable to this country. Before it can
be held, however, there must be dde
determination by the authorities in the
country and then direction from Rome,
for the assembling of the council. Prior
to the council of Baltimore the Amer
lean archbishops made a visit to Rome
and petitioned the vatican for the as
sembling of the council.
This procedure is not essential, yet
some such formal action is required,
and in case a council is to be held in
1902, it is thought the coming meeting
of the American archbishops, which is
to be held in Washington next Octo-
Der, might consider the matter and
frame petition to the vatican. 1t is
not known, however, whether such a
plan is being seriously considered by
the prelates, and the report from the
west is said to be conjecture which
which may or may not prove true
Except that plenary councils are held
every twenty years, and there is a de-
sire to make this the established pc
Rod for their assembling, there is
said to be no special occasion for such
an important council of church authori-
ties.
Thus far the American church au-
thorities have been given no duties in
connection with the church in Cuba
Porto Rico and the Philippines, the af-
fairs there being directed through
apostolic delegates reporting directly to
Rome.
The new apostolic delegate in Cam
ada, Archbishop Franconi, is well
known to the church authorities here,
and the appointment is regarded as an
important one, owing to the position of
the church in public affairs in Canada
particularly in the province of Quebec
Archbishop Franconi was brought up in
Allegheny, Pa, and for some time was
t0U WIN tlls L ldlClsCdH ITdtef-
nifty there. Later he was vicar general
| at st. John, N. B., thence going to
Rome and being advanced to high
place near the pope. His former res
dence in this country is relied upon to
make his administration in Canada an
suspicious one.
Archbishop Kane has started from
Rome for this country, but he will pro-
coed slowly, making frequent visits on
the continent, and not reaching Wash
ington before October Monsignor Mar
tinelli, the apostolic delegate, will go
to the summer school at Madison, Wis,
the latter part of this month, and will
make several other visits in the west.

RIOT IN ONTARIO.
Regulars Charge Striking
Mob in Town of
London.

London, Ont, July 9.-With fixed
bayonets the regular soldiers cleared
the streets of this city this morning. A
mob which defied the police, had fer
nine hours held possession of the main
thoroughfares, attacking the street
cars, which were being run by nom
union men.
For five weeks the employees of the
company have been on strike to obtain
recognition of the union, and yesterday
afternoon 5000 people gathered, ard,
armed with stones and bricks, dernol-
ished the windows of every car that
passed them.
The police were powerless to quell the
mob, and the patrol wagon was re-
ceived with a volley of stones. The
mayor read the riot act, but without
effect, end then the regular regiments
from Stanley Barracks were ordered
out.
Four companies of infantry and one
of cavalry are now on the way from
nearby towns to enforce the regulars
When they arrive, the city will be
thoroughly under military control.
Everything is quiet today as the street
cars do not run on Sunday, but trouble
is expected tomorrow.
