o'clock at Central Labor Union Hall.
The meeting will be held under the
auspices of Norfolk Lodge. No. H. Mr.
Adams says the association is a plain,
practical business organization, organ
lied for business purposes. and much
good will come from a wise and con.
sentative administration OF its affairs
in this city. III speaking of the work
that the association hopes to accom-
plish in this city, he said he hoped to
demonstrate that the large amount Of
machine work now being sent to other
cities ought, in justice. to be placed In
the shops in this city, and in this way
help the employers. and at the same
time giving employment to n larger
number of our mechanics, who are as
good as can be found in any city.
When questioned about the facilities
and tools employed here he said that
he had visited all the shops In the city
and found them equipped with modern
tools and capable of handling the
work that is now sent to other cities.
Mr.. Adams will leave here Tuesday
for Newport News. where he expects
to remain a week In the interest of the
association.

Let it be remembered that a news
paper is not a beneficent Institution,
endowed like a. hospital or school by
some philanthropist, says the Cornhill
Magazine. 1t is purely a commercial
undertaking. 1t must pay its way Or
cease to exist, just like a drapery es-
Enlistment. The original function of
q newspaper was to purvey news. 1t
depended for its revenue solely on its
sale. Nowadays advertisements form
the backbone of a newspaper, and
An afraid news is published only that
advertisements may be obtained. Lead
ing articles are undoubtedly of less
importance to the commercial success
Of a newspaper than advertisements
and. indeed, than even the supply of
news. Yet 1t is by Its leading articles
that the position and weight of every
newspaper in public affairs are deter
mined. 1t will be found that whatever
influence a newspaper exercises in poll
tics, for instance, is due not to its sup
ply of news. not to its circulation, not
to its display of advertisements, but
to the prestige 1t has won by the sa-
gaoity, the force. the conviction with
which 1t expresses Its opinions in its
leading columns, and which has given
1t an individuality and a personality
all Its own.

BRITISH MADE NO CHANGES.
Nicaragua Canal Treaty Was Accepted
Just as Secretary Hay Drew it Up.

Washington, Feb. 1T it learned
that the text of the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty was the work of the state de-
partment, the British government &C
cepting the document Just as it was
drawn, so that the responsibility for
whatever is contained in the treaty,
and the form in which it is expressed,
is chargeable entirely to the depart
ment. Department officials are surpris-
ed at the mount of criticism that has
been directed against the treaty, but
feel confident that 1t will be consum-
mated, providing it is not amended,
especially as to the fertilization clause.
1t is insisted by the officials hat an
amendment on that point would com
pletely defeat the treaty and it is
intimated that the objection will be
two-fold, first from the British gov
eminent and second, from the presi-
dent himself.
The president is said to regard the
naturalization scheme as completely
obviating the necessity for any forti-
fications for the canal, for by the
terms of the arrangement, every one
of the maritime powers will pledge it
self to use its army and navy if need
be to preserve the absolute neutrality
of the canal and Notifications will be
unnecessary.

IRRIGATION CENSUS
RECLAMATION OF ARID LANDS Is
RECEIVING MORE ATTENTION
THAN EVER BEFORE.
Census Office is Supplementing These
Efforts by Obtaining Statistical In
formation Through Means of
Schedules Sent Out in Advance of
the Regular Enumeration.

Washington, d. c., Feb. THE re-
clamation of arid lands, which was a
prominent feature of food-producing
operations in India, China, Egypt and
Mexico many centuries ago, is now re-
ceiving more attention from the United
States government than ever before.
In congress. the house has appointed
a strong committee on irrigation. with
a chairman and a majority OF its mem
bers interested in or representing ir-
rigable sections. In the senate, the
committee on reclamation of arid lands
is similarly constituted.
These committees listen to the de-
mands of the people and formulate leg
islation which is intended TO add to
the of nature quite as sub
s~tantially as if large areas of prolific
territory were being acquired from the
outside.
The officers of the geological survey
are making an extended investigation
of the quantity and constancy of water
ouppllCo III bllSdblt ulSAl lNNS, IOCdl-
ing and surveying sites available for
permanent impounding reservoirs;
measuring the wastes from seepage,
evaporation, and unchecked floods, and
generally determining or comparing
the values of different methods of irri-
cation and the utility of different
sources of water supply.
The census office, combining itself
strictly to exact facts and conditions, Is
supplementing these efforts of the gov
eminent by making a census of irriga,
ton wells, dams, reservoirs, springs,
canals, and bitches and the cost and
character thereof; Of ownership, vol
ume and constancy Of water sources; of
water-rights, sales and rates; of the
gated crops; of unreclaimed but irri-
gable land areas, etc.
Most of this work is being accom-
plished by means of schedules sent
through the mails in advance Of the
main field work, which the law says
shall be done in June, 1900. Director
Merriam deemed such a course war
ranted by the estimated increase in ir-
rigation wells to 10000 and the bitches
and canals to $4,000 during the past
ten years. which means that probably
more than 100, 900 producers are now
raising crops and herds abundantly on
lands which, without irrigation, were
desolate and valueless.
Preliminary returns to the census
Office from irrigators and irrigation
companies are quite satisfactory, and
the director requests that all who have
received or hereafter may receive
schedules from the department, do
their best to answer the several ques-
lions therein and return the blanks at
their earliest convenience.
Also, that irrigators who have not
received, will write and ask to be sup
piled with schedules. Their requests
will be complied with by return mail.
In this way, accurate statistics will
be secured Of an industrial feature
which. in effect, is equal to adding sew
eral productive states to the domain of
a nation whose staple food supplies al
ready dominate the markets of the
world.

Friends Spend 500, 900 to Save Edward

New York. Feb. Although his
friends have spent over 500, 900 to
save Edward Clifford from the gal
lows, Hangman Van Hiz is today pre-
pairing for Clirord's execution on Fri
day. on the assumption that the court
will no longer interfere. Clifford was
an active democratic politician OF

his record as a detective. In 1895 he
secured a large reward by helping to
capture the train robber, Oliver H. Per-
~. He spent the reward in drink. He
neglected his duties as a detective for
the West Shore Railroad company, and
