move the cOuntervailing duty.
The removal Of the different duties

Importation of quite an amount of that
prOdUct The imports Of refined suga rs
during the year 1900 amounted to 17.515
tons, compared with 1885 tons in 1899,
and a very large part Of this increase
was Russian crystals.
If the differentiai duties be removed.
It is commended, the duty Of refined over
raw supplies gives the American refiner
only about Scent per pound advantage
over foreign refined, and, consequently.
il IS further said, German refners Egill
be required to undersell the American
rehners only about 4 cent per pound in
oder to secure business.

About a year ago the secretary Of

Russian sugar does, in fact, receive a

WARM DEBATE
on ARID LANDS
Senators Discuss ApprOpria-
ton for Reservoir.
EASTERN MEN
IN OPPOSITION
Profess to Favor General Prop
OSitiOn. However.

Washington, Jan. 26.-National irri-
CATION was discussed in the senate for
three hours today, the text being an
amendment to the Indian appropriation
bill, providing for surveys, looking to
the construction of an irrigation dam
and bitches for the watering of the
reservation of the Pima and MaricOpa
Indians at san Carlos, on the ella
river, Arizona. The amendment was
still pending at the time of adjourn
ment-
Mr.. Platt Comm, opposed the appro-
priation. He said he was opposed to
the plan, as it was one which would
commit the government 20 a new pol
lev. which would be one of immense
cost before it was carried out. Mr.
PIatt explained that settlers at the
head of the ella river had taken up
water rights at the head of the stream
and thus cut down the supply. The
amendment he said, was framed in
reality to commit the government to q
policy of national irrigation.
Mr.. Plat said that all the irrigation
needed for the Indians could be secured
for 500 600, but that the irrigation ad-
vOcates favored this scheme because
it would foist the burden of irrigation
of the arid lands inevitably upon the
government.
Mr.. Stewart contended that the
amendment contemplated only the COM
pletion of the surveys already under
way and that nothing would follow but
a submission of the complete plan TO
congress. He made a general argument
favoring irrigation of the arid lands.
QuarIes for Irrigation.
Mr.. Quarles (wis.). discussed the gen
eraI irrigation proposition, indOrsing it,
but deploring what he called the guer-
lila tactics. which attempted TO secure
legislation upon appropriation bills.
rather than by bringing forward a bill
contemplating the whole scheme of
watering the arid regions. He said that
what he opposed was the method and
not the scheme. He said the states
and nation must act in harmony to
preserve water rights and action must
be taken quickly to secure all rights
for the people
Mr.. Thurston, chairman of the IN
dian committee, resented the 1mputa-
ton that the committee was moving
by indirection or was endeavor1ng 10
secure by unfair means any advantage
TO the irrigation advocates.
He went over the legal phase of the
storage of water by such a dam as is
proposed. Then, taking UP the gen.
1 eral features, he said the site for the
proposed dam was the most favorable
that might be chosen for an irriga-
ton experiment. He protested that
there was always objection when a
small approximation was asked for the
