Washington. Sept. 2S.-Minister Con-
ger has bee. advised by the state de-
partment of the substance of the re-
plies made b. this government last Fri
day to the ,vernments Of Germany,
Russia, and China respecting China,
which clearly indicate to him the gen
eral nature of the instructions he is to
receive. Moreover, by this time he is
Informed of the orders issued to Cen
eral Chaffee to reduce his force to a
legation guard. The note to China spe-
officially pointed out the lines on which
this government will issue it's instruc.
lions to its minister In this connec-
ton it is said at the state department
that Mr.. Conger will put these negotia.
lions in motion without any purpose of
acting for any government other than
the United States although the gov
eminent steadily keeps in mind that
the United States is but one of sew
eral nations mutually interested in oh.
tanning common end, and it is hoped
that the effect of Mr.. Conger's making
beginning toward negotiations may
be to induce other powers to follow.

over it's banks. The river has, with
the exception of few hours yester-
day, been constantly rising for six
days, record breaker as to length OF
time.
The Trinity is again rising at Fort
Worth and Dallas. A special from the
former place says the bottoms are in.
undated to a depth of from three to
five feet and has very serious aspect.
Advices from the lower Trinity says
that the food is passing without much
damage resulting. The rise in the
Colorado river has reached Columbus
and two piers in the Southern Pacific
bridge have gone interrupting railway

The presidential and state elections of themselves would have stirred up com parativelv little interest. but the ques- lion of the removal of the capital has made the campaign one of the liveliest ever seen in Florida.

THE HAWAIIAN ELECTION

Washington, D. C., Nov. G.-In view of the present-day facilities for rapid communication it appears strange at first glance that the full returns of to- days election will not be known to the people of this country for q number of days to come. While the election re- suits of every state and territory from Maine to California and from the lakes to the gulf will probably be known within twenty-four hours, it will be q week or longer before the returns are received from Hawaii. whcra the peo- pie are today enjoying the first nation al election since lthe islands became a territorial part of the Union. The presidential contest can in no way be affected by the vote of the Hawaiiana who are balloting only for a represen- tative fin congress.
 Each of the three political parties In the islands-republican, democratic and independent-ha nominated candidate and The latest advlces re- ceived here indicate that the contest has been a lively one. Samuel Par l1er, a half-blood, Is the candidate of the republicans, while the democrats have named Prince David, q nephew of the late King kalakaua and of Liliou- kalani. The candidate of the inde- pendent party Is R. w. Wilcox, who has the support of the natives and whose chances of success are reported es brighter than those of his two op- ponentS-

THE HOPE OF THE WEST.

No View of irrigation can be appre- ciative which regards It as merely an adjunct to agriculture says William F.. Smythe in the November Atlantic. It is q social and economic factor in q much larger way. It not only makes a civilization In the midst of desolate wastes; 1t shapes and colorS that civil 1Zation after its own peculiar design. It rorbids land monopoly, because only
 the small farm pays when the land must be artificially watered. By the same token 1t makes near neighbors and high social conditions. It dfscour- ages serviie labor by developing q class of small landed proprfetors who work for themselves and need little help beyond that which their own fam lilies supply. .. We can expect no millonaires to grow from such sur roundings, but neither should there be any paupefs.
 There Is another influence peculiar b irrigation. This Is the influence which makes for co-operatiun. Irriga- ton is not and can never be ar, fndI- vidual enterprise. A single settler can not turn a river to distribute the wa ters flowing through a system Of ca nals. The result Is that co-opera- ton precedes irrigation. It also ac- companies and follows Irrigation, and Is speedily woven into the entire in- dustrial and social fabric of the com munlty. In localities which have been longest established this principle has extended itself to stores. factories and banks. .. These things will not come suddenly to pass. but they will come because the conditions and surround ings of the time and place will strongly favor, if not actually compel. the re suit. Such are the hopes Of arid Amer ica. What other part of the world of fers a fairer prospect to mankind?
