month or so TO do the work. From
the survey 1t will be possible to deter
mine upon the best site for the tun-
mel and aqueduct, II an aqueduct has
to be built along the river way. Not
only the cost of construction but of
maintenance of the canal will be con-
sidered in fixing upon a location. The
preliminary survey will be followed
by a closer survey of the line select
ed and a typographical survey of the
U~ncompahgre valley to determine the
full benefits of the canal. Measure
ments of the water i'm the Gunnison
river will also be made in connection
with the surveys.
when completed the TUNED and ca
nal will be capable of supplying water
for irrigation and power. The forma-
ton of the country there is rather pc
culiar. The Gunnison river flows to
the mouth of the Nernal mesa and
the Uncompahgre valley is to the
south. The river is approximately
1900 feet higher than the valley and
the mesa is a formation of trachyte
and sandstone. 1t will be necessary
to tunnel this immense wall and the
preliminary survey will determine the
length of the tunnel and the probable
cost. There will be no opposition to
taking the water from the river for
the ranchmen along its course have all
the water they need and some to
spare"

GUESTS OF KING EDWARD VII.

London. June 2.-Twenty-two Amer
lean gentlemen dressed in the deep
black of British court mourning, repre-
senting many millions of money and
vast commercial interests, were the
guests of King Edward yesterday ut
Windsor.
The American guests of the King
were the delegates of the New York
Chamber OF Commerce. The visit was
arranged by the London Chamber of
Commerce, the president of which,
Lord Brassey. accompanied the Amer
lean party. The visitors were greatly
impressed and pleased by their audi
ence of the King, who was just rs in
terested at meeting them as they were
at meeting him.
The King had expressed consideIn
bic curiosity to see what name of
men these multi-milliOnaires might be.
especially Messrs. Morgan and Carne-
gle. As regards the latter, the King
was disappointed, for Mr.. Carnegie
was unable to he present. From the
King down all the officials concentrat,
ed their attention on Mr.. Morgan.
Their curiosity was not unmixed with
awe.
one Of the high officers of the house
hold confessed that an inspection of
the list of visitors made them trcmble
lest Mr.. Morgan or one of the other
millionaires should take Il fancy to
Windsor and buy it.
Apart from this personal point Of
view, Lord Pelham-Clinton, master of
the household. said the King regarded

Montrose counties. At Montrose he
met Government Topographer G. II.
Fitch and @. NJ. Hammond, John j.
Tobin and Frank L. Dodge, members
of The board of control of the tunnel
and the irrigation system.
Mr.. Fitch is now in Salt Lake City,
but will return to Montrose late next
week to commence the typographical
survey. Mr.. Fellows will do the en-
cheering. The preliminary survey
will be at the cost of the government.
The state has appropriated $4,000 for
preliminary work on II tunnel and
canal, but there is no fund yet availa-
BILE for the purpose. After the govern
ment makes its survey it will be the
duty of the board of control to appoint
a superintendent of construction who
will receive $500 a year.
AS much of the construction as pos
sible will be done by convict labor
and the canal, when completed, will
be owned and operated by the state.

CUBANS MUST NOT QUIBBLE

and Secretary Root will convey this
intelligence to the convention. The
decision vas reached at the Cabinet
meeting yesterday.
The meeting lasted over an hour
n a half and had been preceded by
an hours conference between the
President Inc Senators Plat of Con-
necticut and Lodge of Massachusetts,.
AS the author of the amendment, the
President desired to learn the views
of Senator Platt and also those of
Senator Lodge. who is n of the in

At the Cabinet meeting Secretary
Root took the position hat the inter

appended to 1t, went outside of a fair
