portant problems, which are new and
strange to the people of the United
States, among these the distribution of
water on the principal or beneficial use
the nature of water ownership and the
interstate division of streams are be-
coming of immediate Importance. We,
therefore, commend the action of con-
gress in appropria ting money for the
investigation of these questions by the
United States DEPARTMENT Of agricul-
ture and determine the available water
supply by the department of the in
terror.
Resolved further, That the value Of
the irrigated farm and security of the
homes thereby created are alike de-
pendent upon sufficient public control
Of the water supply and the prevention
OF water from becoming a speculative
commodity, and we believe that the
waters Of all streams should forever re-
main public property and the right to
its use should inhere, not in the indi-
vidlIal. but in the land reclaimed.
Resolved, further, That in the set
ting apart of portions of the public do
main as forest reserves or for other
special purposes, the department of the
interior be requested to place as few
restrictions as possible On the grazing
Of sheep and other stock thereon, so as
not TO reduce the area of public lands

Cecil Rhodes returns to Cape Town

that the so-called empire maker
came TO England purely on business
connected with the British Chartered
South African company and the De

Mr.. Long, that, having published the
dispatches it is bound to deal immedi-
ately with the generals affected, but,
in following such course, the govern

eral the moment he made mistake.
Had such a policy been pursued in the
past, many most glorious deecs would
not have been performed.
The government uses its discretion
in publishing the dispatches. From the
beginning of the campaign her ma

was included in the mass of correspond
ence. 1t is apparent that. though de-
termined upon positive action, the
state department is proceeding decor
ously and with due precautions against
being led into any position which it
cannot maintain. 1t may be stated by
authority that the state department is
entirely satisfied of the accuracy Of
Minister Strauss statement relative to
the promises made TO him by the porte.
Notwithstanding the ATTEMPTED expla.-
nations and efforts to becloud the is
sue by declarations that, the suItans
promises were conditional.
The ministers dispatches sent while he
was in COnstantinopie are. cOuched in
exact terms; his written statements
were fully confirmed by his oral ex-
plantations to the department upon his
return TO the United States. and. more
over. the pledges he secured were SINH
lar to those made to the two preced-
ing United States ministers to Turkey.
In the opinion of the state depart
ment officials, it is inconeeivable that
three United States ministers should
be successfully deceived in the terms
of a promise or should have reached
similar misunderstanding
Europe is Pleased.
The approval which the state de-
partment's latest action seems to have
received in Europe was anticipated, it
being realized here that several Of the
continental powers having claims SINH
lar 10 our own against Turkey. being
themselves prevented from initiating
any foreible demands upon the Turkish
government by reason Of the jealousy
of their neighbors, are entirely willing
that the United States government
shall act as a pioneer in this matter
and clear the way for a prosecution
of their own claims.
It is also believed here that the Eu-
ropean powers are hopeful that the
attitude assumed by the United States
may indirectly serve TO deter the Turk
ish government from the proposed ar
bitrary increase of 8 per cent in Gus
toms dues. which it seeks TO make in
defiance of the joint protest of the
European powers. 1t appears that our
government is lending its moral sup
