NEXT MEETING
FOR CHICAGO
THE STOCKMEN'S ASSOCIATION
VOTES UNANIMOUSLY.
RESOLUTIONS OF ALL KINDS
GOVERNMENT IRRIGATION FOR
ARID LANDS IS AGAIN
BROUGHT UP.

Salt Lake, Utah, Jan. 1S.-The National
Live Stock convention this morning
PASSED a resolution that forest reserves
be limited to actual timber land. Several
other resolutions of minor Importance
We're acted upon.
Mr.. George r. Maxwell read a paper
on "Irrigation," which was in part as
follows:
Every acre of water that runs to
waste means the loss of an acre of feed
to the stock industry, and is just as
| much loss to the wealth of the coun-
try as though it We're cattle and sheep
! and not water that was going to waste.
IF our people generally and especially
those interested in the stock industry
| realized the enormous value Of the water
that is annually wasted in the west and
would connect it in their minds with
something practical, and would estimate
the number of acres it would irrigate
and the number of cattle or sheep IT.
would produce, the Indifference with
which we now watch this resource run
ming to waste would have an end.
1.-The building of the great irrigation
works. necessary to utilize these waters,
would create and develop all other in
dustries side by side with agriculture
and stock growing, would bring about
the opening of new mines, the construe-
| ton of new railroads, the building of
new cities.
Every one family with the west
knows that the utilization is impossible
without the building of great storage
reservoirs and large main line canals
which are beyond the sphere of individ-
| ual or corporate enterprise. This being
50, our national government owning as
it does, two-thirds of the whole western
the British government has done in In
dia and what the Egyptian government
is now doing in Egypt. 1t must build
these reservoirs and main line canals SO
that the water shall be brought within
reach of those who will utilize it to Trans
form the desert into fertile fields and
| pastures"
Considerable time was consumed in
calling the membership roll Of the as
sociation, and correcting the same. The
regular order of business, the selecting
of place for holding the next conven-
| tion, was then taken up.
Mr.. Gavin of New Mexico made q
speech in favor of Chicago and f. e.
Sanborn set forth the advantages OF
Omaha.
After several secOnding speeches, the
roll was called but before the result was
announced. ex-senator Carey of Wyom-
ing moved that the selection of Chicago
be made unanimous and the motion was
| adopted.
| The date of the convention will be fixed
| by the executive committee. The cOnven-
tion then adjourned until o'clock.

WAIT AWHILE
On CANAL BILL
ENGLAND MAY REPLY IN THE
MEANTIME.
BILL WILL NOT BE DROPPED
HOPE FOR FAVORABLE ACTION
ACROSS THE SEA-BUT WE
WILL ACT ANYWAY.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-The republican
senators decided today not to set day,
at least for the present, for taking up the
Nicaragua canal bill. The decision was
reached after an hour and half spent in
caucus and was unanimous. The caucus
was called largely because of Senator
Morgan's opportunities in behalf of the
bill and an effort was made to effect a
There was a general exchange of views
and many speeches were made, but after
all had been said, the senators concluded
that so long as Great Britain's attitude
toward the amendment to the Hay
Pauncefote treaty is underlined, it would
not be wise or expedient to agitate the
question of the proposed canal.
Senator Allison, chairman of the eau
GUS was authorized to make this state
ment, to Senator Morgan and other
friends of the canal bill and to the public
in general. In giving it out, he laid
stress upon the fact that this conclusion
was for the present" He also stated
that the question of what attention
should be given to the ship subsidy bill
and to the appropriation bills ewas not
discussed, land that the matter is in
the hands of the senate"
The decision of the caucus as above
given was embodied in a resolution
presented by Senator Lodge, who stated
that the conclusion as set forth was
the result of the best deliberations of
the committee on order of business. He
expressed his own firm conviction that
at least for the present it would be
out of place to press the canal question
while the treaty is still subject Of
negotiation and England's attitude is
not completely defined. Notwithstand-
ing the formal decision to leave the
canal question in allegiance for the time
being. several senators gave notice that
in case there should be a motion to take
up the canal bill they would not be
bound by the resolutions adopted, but
would vote for a motion to consider.
In this expression of independence Mr..
Platt of New York was the leader He
said that he considered the proposed
canal of prime Importance ana would
not refrain from voting to take it up
whenever a motion to that effect was
made. Senators Simon, Foster and
Bard followed with similar declarations
No decision was reached upon other
questions because no formal action was
considered necessary. There was, how
ever. considerable discussion Of other
questions Among these We're the ship
subsidy bill. the war revenue reduction
bill. the confirming of Mr.. Harlan as
attorney general of Porto Rico, the
ratification of the treaty with Spain for
the acquisition of some of the Philip
pine islands not included in the original
Paris treaty and the appropriation bills.

monGs which We're brought into this
country by Antonio Ansenias without
paying duty on them. The goods were
found on Ansenias person by United
Stats custom officials as Ansenias was
leaving a steamer of the Hamburg
American line at Hamburg. Ansenias
was not arrested but the diamonds will
be held pending a decision by the treas

is a cuban merchant and that he is
merely passing through this country on
his way to Cuba. The diamonds were
concealed in pockets of a large belt
which Ansenlas had around his body
and wer accidentally discovered by a
customs inspector who happened to place
his hand on Ansenias' back as the lat

126 separate articles of an appraised
valuation of $1,000, which with sixty
percent duty added, would make them
