Irrigation Experiments.

The agricultural appropriation bill
reported to the House provides S3O,OOO
for irrigation experiments in the West,
the same amount appropriated for the
past year. The secretary of agricul-
ture has recommended an appropria-
tion OF $75,OOO. While the increase de-
sired was not granted. Secretary WILL
son will so reorganiZe the work of irri-
CATION experiments that even with no
increase of funds it's scope will be
greatly enlarged. Heretofore a con-
siderable pay roll amounting to nearly
$4,000 per annum, composed of en-
ployes In the division of experiment
stations in Washington and not con-
nected with irrigation work has been
charged against irrigation experiments.
The secretary has directed that in
the future only the direct expenses of
irrigation experiments shall be paid
from the fund appropriated for that
purpose and that the entire control Of
the work shall be placed in the hands
of Professor ElwOod Mead.

and 1t is very difficult to get through
any other measures of Importance. In
fact, the attempt is seldom made. At
the beginning of this session, however,
there were certain things which the
Republican leaders resolved should be
done, and which the President had
recommended. and which events are
proving should be done.
The most pressing measure was the
bill for the reorganization of the army.
Under the law as it existed nt the be-
ginning of the session the army had to
be reduced to 25.O0O men next summer,

Senate joint resolution No. ., by
Senator Taylor provides for carrying
out the recommendation Of the COVER
nor relative to the redemption of GER
tain outstanding warrants and the ap-
pointment of a committee to examine
said warrants and report thereon. This
resolution provides for the appoint
ment of joint committee of two SEN
ators and three representatives to ex-
anime into the warrant Issue of 1888
and 1889. 1t looks to the utilization of
the $4,000 which has been lying idle

the same footing. Mr.. Cannon amend
ed by inserting Lincoln's birth
day, February 18th. Representatives
Schweigert and Neeley opposed the ad-
dition of any more holidays because
the said holidays interfered with busi-
ness and with the work of the schools.
The Cannon amendment was adopted.
Max Morris. Il labor representative.
wanted the half holiday clause
amended so that it would apply the
year around. This precipitated n de-
bate which was participated in by Mr..
Pitschke, who also represents organ

ed somewhere making the half holiday
imperative. This matter was still un-
der discussion when the committee
arose for the noon recess.
