In Europe there are many young
men whom fate has destined to be
the rich men of the next century. For
a long time it was supposed that Lord
Belgrave, who inherited the wealth of
the Duke of Westminster, would head
the list, but since the dukes death it
Is reported that his fortune has been
greatly overestimated. At present
this young man is but 20 years of age,
but 1t will not be many years before
he will become one of the richest men
in the world, according to accepted
belief in England. At the same time
he has succeeded to every rank in the
British peerage fiom baron to duke,
as well as to three of the finest estates
in the united kingdom, and racing
stable that cannot be surpassed.

KANSAS WILL SUE.
WILL ATTACK COLORADO lRRl-
GATORS.
Action In the United States Supreme Court
Will Bo Taken to Prevent Further APP
propriations of Water From the Arkan-
sas River.

Denver, April 3O.-A special dispatch
from Topeka, Kansas, to the Repub-
lican says:
Attorney General GODDARD left for
Washington to-day to present to the
United States Supreme Court next
Monday motion for leave to file bill
in equity on behalf of the state of Kan
sas against the state of Colorado, to
cnjoin that state from diverting the
waters of the Arkansas river and its
tributaries for irrigation and other
purposes. The suit is to be brought
upon the authority of Governor Stan
ley, and service will be had upon the
governor and attorney general of Colo
RADIO.
This action on the part of the attor-
ney general is a matter Of vital and
colossal interest to the settlers in the
Arkansas valley. This river flows
through thirteen Kansas counties,
forming a valley almost as rich as the
valley of the Nile, containing 2,5OO,OOO
acres, and with the natural flow and
undertlow of the river in its unimpeded
condition. this is one of the richest val
leys in the West.
But the state of Colorado has for
many years pursued policy of prac-
tically appropriating all of the water
which was by nature intended to come
down this valley through Kansas, and
to such an extent has this action on the
part of Colorado damaged Kansas, and
especially the Arkansas valley. that
Attorney General GODDARD has conclud-
ed to see whether the Supreme Court
can afford relief
The contention of Kansas is that
when the part of Colorado east of the
Rockies was yet part of Kansas ter
ritory, the common law of England
was by statutory provision made to ap-
ply, and that under this common law
riparian rights We're along the entire
course of the river established, which
future legislation was powerless to alb
rogate or impair
Kansas does not ask that the bitches
all be destroyed, or the property of
those interested therein confiscated, but
asks that the state of Colorado permit
no more bitches to be dug that it give
no more charters to persons for irriga-
tion canals, except for water and do
mestic use, and asks that the state be
restrained from building the canals and
reservoirs which it contemplates. and
as fast in the future as the charters of
Its irrigation bitches expire. that they
shall not be renewed. and that no new
permits or authority or license be
granted to divert the water. except for
domestic uses. This. in the course Of
time. without loss to Colorado. will re-
store the condition of things and not
interfere with present vested rights.
The amount involved in the suit il
almost fabulous. because If the conten-
tion of the state of Kansas should be
overruled, then the state would suffer
in the future annual damages beyond
computation. which would be in addi-
tion to the great loss in revenue which
the state Is already suffering.

Fatal Disaster mt rar,-.

Paris, April 20, S:15 p. m.-An a,ci-
dent within the exposition grounds
caused the death OF nine persons and
injured about forty. A condemned

those walking under 1t in The dcrbis.
The accident threw n pail over the
immense throng who had profited by
the magnificent weather TO visit the ex-

were crowded and the c6ncoursc was

The free town library. one of the
best educational gifts to the nineteenth
century to the world, bids fair IN
the twentieth century to become still
more than 1t is now stimulant to
intellectual progress. Collections Of
books for the scholar and the ricn
there have been from the earliest
times; but library belonging to the
whole community. rich and poor,
learned and ignorant, lab orer and pro
fessional man, is purely product OF
the last half century. Fifty years
ago there were about a score In Mas
sachusetts. Today all but seven Of
her $50 towns have free library. In
the whole country there are not less
than 10000 such Libraries. But a
mere collection OF books. without q
faithful librarian. however valuable,
is like an undeveloped nine. practic-
ally OF no use. The town librarian is
like the library itself product OF the
closing century, and has become new

There is a general desire for a de-
cision by the Supreme Court of the
United States to determine the ques-
tion whether the new island posses
rions are part of the United States,
or its property. 1t was thought that
a suit brought by New York firm of
importers to recover duties paid on
Puerto Rican goods might furnish a
basis for the desired Interpretation
but this suit has been halted by the
refusal Of the lower court to grant the
injunction which was applied for. A
case has now arisen at San Francisco,
occasioned by the collection Of tom
mage dues on vessels from Hawaii, in
the same manner as from foreign
countries, which may afford an oppor-
tunity for the settlement of the broad
