IRRIGATION RESOLUTIONS.
Action Of the National Congress-Two
Meetings Next Year.

CHICAGO, Nov 24-The ninth National
Irrigation Congress to-day decided to hold
two congresses next year, the first at
Colorado Springs. either just before or just
after the Trans Mississippi Congress. and
the second at Buffalo in October,
during the Pan-American Exposition
in that city. Thomas F. Walsh,
Of Colorado. the new president of the
congress, made an address, in which he
urged that the size of farms be reduced
and that the workingmen be given an OPP
portunity to obtain homes The COMMITTEES
on resolutions reported the following:
I'VE hail with satisfaction the fact that
both of the great political parties OF the
Nation in their platform, in the last cam
paign, declared in favor of the reclamation
OF arid America in order that settlers
might build homes on the arid land, and
to that end we urge upon Congress that
national appropriations commensurate to
the magnitude of the problem should be
made for the preservation of the forests
and the restoration of the denuded areas
as natural storage reservoirs, and FOR the
construction by the national government,
part of its policy of internal improve
ments Of storage reservoirs and other
works for food protection, and 10 .ave
for use in aid of navigation and irrigation
the waters which now run TO waste, and
Ior the development or arteSlan ana SUD-
terranean sources of water supply.
1.-The water of all streams should for
ever remain subject to the public control
and the right to the use of water for irriga-
ton should inhere in the land irrigated. and
beneficial be the basis, the measure
and the limit of the right.
I'VE recommend the efficient work of the
various bureaus of the national govern
ment in the investigation of the physical
and legal problems and other questions
relating to irrigation and in promoting the
adoption of more effective laws customs
and methods OF irrigated agriculture. and
urge upon Congress the necessity CO pio-
viding liberal appropriations for this i'm
portant work.
The work OF building the reservoirs
necessary to store the floods should he
done directly by the government under ex-
listing statutes relating to the employment
of labor and hours of work. and under
laws that will give TO all American citizens
a fair and equal opportunity 10 get, first.

CONTRACT LABOR CASE.
Objections May BE Raised to Sending
Porto Ricans to Hawaii.

NEW ORLEANS. Nov. PA point has
been raised here by the announcement that
the steamship Arcadia, of the New York
and Porto Rico steamship line. is bringing
here under contract more than hundred
natives of the Island of Porto Rico The
Arcadia is the first steamer put in service
between New Orleans and Porto Rico and
is on her return trip. News has reached
government officials here that when she
sailed she had as passengers eighty-nine
adults and twenty-four children from Porto
Rico who have been engaged by planters
in the Sandwich islands to work In sugar
fields Arrangements had been made with
the Southern Pacific Railroad Company to
carry the natives to San Francisco on
their arrival here. whence they were to
sail for Hawaii There seems to be some
reason to believe, however, that the natives
will not be allowed to land here, but will
be sent back TO Porto Rico on the ground
that they are coming in violation Of the
contract labor act Of Congress. Immigrant
Inspector Rice has already taken official
cognizance of the matter. and he sent tele-
grams to-day to Washington asking what
action he should take In the premises.
