 There is ample evidence to cup port Cnl. Ferrer's statement that NIT. Huntington is Mir. Carlsor's friend. People here now appreciate that fact more than they once did.

THE CENSUS INVESTIGATION OF
 IRRIGATION.

l A Spec1aI eUoTL VIII Us Loaus O1 the division of agricu. .ture Of the twelfth census of the United States to collect and tabulate important data relating to irrigation in the arid and mi-humid regions of the United States. A preliminary schedule has been prepared aud will soon be sent out tO obtain the names of corporations and individ- u4ls owning canals or ditches. I'm. is one of the essential steps for securing desired information regarding the extent and value of the canals and ditchss used for ir. rigation, and their sources of water supply.
 In the preliminary schedule a rvquest is made for the names Of the principal canals or ditches in their order down stream. the ditches 10 the right (lookiI.E down .tream) being arranged on the frs: page oi the list, and those heading to the left on :hr last page. Re- uest is also III de for the name and postoiiice address of som. per- son wbo can give detailed inform a!ion concerning each ditch. The principal schedule now iE course of preparation vii. be mail ed 10 the addresses thus obtained calling for further data, which will be supplemented by detailed s.atls tics gathered by the census enun- orators.
 It should be noted by all ,nter- ested in the subject that these var ious inquiries of the csn.us office in no way conflict with, or dupli- cate the work, with reference to ir. rigation which is being conducted by any other department of state. The most nearly related inquiry is that of ftne geological suIvsy, which, like that of the cersus, is under the more immediate direction of F. II. Newe.l, the special agent for irriga- ton in the eleventh census. and hydrographer of the geological sur vey. The fact that MT. Newell has supervision of this work in the twelfth census guarantees its efti- ciency and it's value to the arid aud | semi humid regions.
 It will he readily apparent that the volume and value of these sta tistics will depend very largely up on the attention and interest shown therein by those engaged in irrig&- ton, and it is earnestly heped that all to whom the schedules arc ad- dressed will app eciste the import ance of the request and make care ful and prompt reply. In this way only will it be possible 10 make the information concerning irriga- t on full and complete.
 In order te obtain a full under standing and an intelligent apprs- citation of the possible dsvelOr msnt of the arid and semi humid rsgisnI

FRANKFORT, KY, Dec. 1.-THE Demo-
cratic state central, executive and cam
paign committees met in joint session here
to-day. Ex-senator Joe Blackburn pre-
sided and said he had been threatened with
defeat for senator If the Democratic state
officers made a contest. but that he had
ridden fourteen miles in buggy to tell the
committee that he favored contest, even
if it resulted in his own defeat, as he would
rather have Democratic state government
than to serve a lifetime In the Senate. The
committee unanimously adopted the follow
ing resolutions and there is no longer any
doubt about the contest coming before the
Legislature:
Resolved, That we, the members of the
state Democratic central. executive and
campaign committees. in joint meeting as
sembled, on the 18th of December, in
Frankfort, KY. express our earnest belief
that, according to the legal votes cast at
the late state election, the candidates on
the state Democratic ticket were elected,
and that the Democrats OF Kentucky de-
mand that these candidates, in proper legal
course, contest the election of the Repub-
lican candidates to whom certificates have
been issued.
Resolved, That it is the unanimous sense
of the members of the state central, ex-
ecutive and campaign committees that Will
liam Goebel should make contest as au-
thorized by law, for the Office of Governor.
and that J. G. w. Beckham should make a
contest for the office of lieutenant gov
ernor, and that we heartily indorse the con-
tests already commenced by the other can
didates on the Democratic state ticket.
Resolved. That an appropriate address
be issued by the members of the respective
committees here assembled to the people Of
Kentucky.
Resolved, That the chairman Of this
conference appoint a committee of eight. of
which he shall be chairman, to cooperate

The scenes at the War Office this morn

was steady incursion of anxious in

and there was intense excitement when an
official appeared bearing the ominously
long list of names. The women present
crowded eagerly forward and begged for
copies of the lists. But the supply was
not sufficient and the official read out the
lists. Intense feeling was evident on all
the faces. 1t was a memorable scene.
Some Of the women were so overcome that
they had to be assisted to room.
