 etc, for long period of years. It was
 thought at first that vast fortunes were
 to be made out of damsites, the con-
 struction ot reservoirs by private capital and the selling of waserrights to settlers.
 But the experiences Of the last ten or twelve years have shown that private capital in storage; reservoirs is not gem erally good investment Right here
 comes in the question of title to water, and whether the right to the water
 suould go with tue land. Irrigation in-
 vestments have pFeven safe, and money
 can now be found for investment, only in projects organized as cooperative ca nal companies, or where the title to the
 land and the necessary water is united.
 while undef the ~ater right system 1t is impossible to longer secure the invest ment of intelligent capital.
 The difference between the two plans is very clear. Under one. the farmer OWLS the land and the company sells him water right. This is the system which has almost inyaIably turned out disastrously. Under the other system. the owner of the land also owns share in the water property, 80 that tie Own- ership of land and water are united This is the successful system. So with proper management, tine cooperative system can be successful as far as it goes; but it is necessarily limited in ex- tent
 At this point national irrigation comes in. Some have conceived the impression that national irrigation contemplates the building or ownership by the gov ernment of all reservoir and irrigation 1 works. This is erroneous. No one pro- poses such policy The national irri- 1 yatiOn movement contemplates the con 'tructlon of reservoirs etc, by the gov only when such work is be- vond the scope of private capital or pri- Gate enterprise, while at the same time ] national irrigation would operate along he same lines as cooperative irrigation, hat is. it would mean land and water | ,wnersh p combined in one. only the water ownership would be public in- Itead of an individual ownership.

ABOUT LIQUID AIR.

Professor Tripler, who is famous for devising a mechanism to pro duce liquid air in large quantities, recently exhibited :ha substance be. fore the members of the Chicago Commercial Club. A few interest ing facts are taken from the report of the exhibition.
 The air was liquified in New York and shipped to Chicago in a vessel made for the purpose. The barrel contained 20 gallons when started on it's westward journey :; when it had reached Chicago, the quantity had dwindled down tn7 or 8 gallons, through evaporati"n
 According to the Professors own statement, "the air is compressed as by weight of 2,5OO pounds, and then passed into a liquiher. Alter impurities are taken out it goes through valves and is allowed to expand. The cold Is intensified until some of the air runs out as a liquid"
 Liquid air is a clear substance through which one can see. Im- purities cloud it. but they can be filtered out then the air appears as clear as the purest water.
 A dipperful thrown into the air came down like lead, though 1t does not weigh so much as water. All that is necessary to make it boil, is to let it stand in an open vessel. The boiling diminishes the nitrogen and leaves it rich in

 Experiments with mock engines showed the expansive force of the air to be powerful.
 Whisky and alcohol were frnzen into solid chunks. Mercury was i frozen into the shape of a hammer and the hammer used in driving nails. Afterward the mercury re- took it's ordinary form.
 The most striking exhibition came last. The Professor made a tumbler of ice by filling an urdina- ry glass tumbler with liquid air and putting it into a jar of water. when ice was quickly formed all round which was soon strong nough to be used as glass tum- bier itself. Into this ice tnmhler liquid air of temperature of 312 below zero. A piece of steel was melted in this and a piece of car bon 5000 degrees above zero was burned. All this was done while he ice tumbler was held in the hand.

WILL REMAIN ON GUARD.
The Sheriff's Posse mt st. Louis VIII
Not BE Discharged for the
Present.

st. Louis, June 19.-Monday was by
far the most uneventful in the his
tory of the street railway strike. This
was owing to the discontinuance of all
negotiations tending toward settle
ment of the controversy. and to the
utter absence of trouble along the nu-
merous routes of the Transit company.
The strike has now passed into the
second stage of its history, and the
general boycott instituted by the
American Federation of Labor, as out
lined in these dispatches for several
days, must tell the story. A slight
stir was caused during the day by
Sheriff Pohlman, who proposed that
the posse comitatus, comprising $500
citizen soldiers, be discharged. A con-
ference of police and posse officials
threw wet blanket on the sheriff s
proposition by emphatically declar-
ing that the time was not yet ripe for
dispensing the body.

SECRETARY LONG.


do this after a four hours stormy
session of the New York delegation,
during which every kind of appeal
was made to get Roosevelt to say
that he would accept a nomination.
The vice presidential situation is
still mixed because it is asserted that
New York makes this move so rs to
go into the convention with candi-
date and yet hoping that Roosevelt
will be nominated.
Senator Hanna has stated that he
controls the delegates TO such an eX-
tent that he can nominate any candi-
date he pleases and it is not known
that he has withdrawn his objections
to Mr.. Woodruff. In general the idea
seems to be prevalent that Secretary
Long is the most favored candidate,
with probability that Roosevelt
may still be nominated. Roosevelt
believes that, his wishes having been
respected by his own delegation, he
is finally out of the race.
"What is the situation tonight,
senator?"
Roosevelt is out of it and will not
be nominated"
The question was put to Senator
Hanna and that is the way he an
swered it. This was after another eff
fort during the day to stampede the
delegates to Roosevelt. AS before the
effort was made by New York and
Pennsylvania. Platt and Quay,
through their lieutenants, worked all
day to make Roosevelt the candidate.
The stampede which had been check
ed on Monday night was begun early
in the morning. Many stories were
circulated.
One thing definitely developed.
There is to be. fight. The nominal
ton is not to be made without a con-
test. Senator Hanna is doing all he
can to defeat Roosevelt and has de-
termined to continue on that line to
the end. He is lining up the friends
of the administration against Roose-
velt. In this he is acting in harmony
with the wishes of Roosevelt, who has
urged all delegates visiting him not
to vote for him for vice president.
The next serious proposition that
confronts Mr.. Hanna is what he shall
do as between Long and Dolliver.
There is popular sentiment for Dol
liver in the west that is hard to over
come. Long is regarded as a passive
kind of candidate and while no OBJ
lection is urged against him, he does
not attract the delegates. But he is
Hanna's choice and is preferred by
| the president. Delivers friends
pointed out to Hanna that the Iowa
candidate has now got into the fight
so far that he wants to win, to which
Hanna replied that defeat would not
| iniure Dolliver.

NO ARMISTICE
and Hostiiitics Have Been

London, June 10.-Lord Roberts, ac-
cording to n Boer dispatch from Mach
adodorp, sent message to Command
ant Gen. Louis Botha on June 13, sug-
gesting disarmament and compliment
ing the bravery of the burghers. 1t was
pointed out that the surrender would
be without dishonor to the burghers
and would prevent much suffering.
Gen. Botha asked for six days arnis-
tice in order to confer and consider.
Lord Roberts consented to five days.
Finally Gen. Botha declined to accept
the proposal, and hostilities were re-
newed.
The Boer commandoes are retiring
on Middleburg, followed by the British
cavalry and artillery, occasionally
shells reaching the rear guards. The
Beers are destroying the bridges and

ing off provisions and cattle and leav-
ing the country barren.

that the Beers have an abundance of

HANNA Is PLEASED.

Chairman Hanna's reception when
he called the convention to order and
later when he made brief address
was flattering and the smile on his
face betrayed the pleasure it gave
him. But the enjoyment he expert
enced over his own reception seemed
nothing compared with the delight
he manifested when he mentioned the
presidents name. The convention
went off like rocket. The cheering
was deafening, the Ohio delegation
leading in the demonstration. Mr..
HaaSa's face was wreathed in smiles.
He showed the Joy he felt over the
storm of approval he had raised.
Many, in that moment, remember
ed how the presidents Warwick had
announced a year ago that his ambi-
tion would dissatisfied and his cup of
joy would be full when he called to-
gether the convention that would re-
nominate Mckinley. Perhaps it was
significant that in his speech Mr.
Hanna made no mention of Cuba, or
anything which would furnish n peg
on which Roosevelt demonstration
could be hung.
