1t may be series of condolences,
but comparison of the parts of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's message relating to
irrigation and the Hawaiian policy are
so perfectly identical with Representa-
tive Newlands' bill on the former sub
ject, and his speech in the House upon
the amendment to the Hawaiian Gov
eminent bill, delivered in April 1890,
it seems probable that both were con-
sidered by the President prior to the
formulation of the message. At all
events the same ideas are expressed in
the message upon those subjects that
appear in what is known as the New
lands irrigation bill and in the remarks
of Nevada's representative upon the
Hawaiian policy, at the time above
mentioned.
The message, so far as it relates to
forests and irrigation follow precisely
the lines embodied in the Newlands
bill. First, that the forests being the
natural reservoirs should be protected
in the arid land sections. Second, that
artificial reservoirs shold be con-
structed. Third, that the States are
unable to handle the irrigation matter,
as questions of Interstate ownership
would arise, where reservoirs are stu
ated in one State and the lands to be
reclaimed in another; the inability and
inefficiency of private enterprise to un-
dertake such scheme, and the very
positive declaration that the national
government should handle the matter,
which latter, by the by, is in direct OPP
position to the contention of some of
the Republican members from the arid
land States, and all being in perfect
harmony with the provisions of the
bill introduced by Mr.. Newlands at the
last session of Congress and with his
argument in advocacy of the measure
upon the floor of the House.
The President recommends the ap-
pointment of cabinet officer, to be
known as Secretary of Commerce."
The same was provided form the New
lands measure relating to Hawaii, and
that the province of such official should
be to deal with commercial matters in
their broadcast sense, including among
other things whatever concerned the
interest of labor. The necessity for
precaution against the accumulation OF
large land holdings in the Hawaiian
islands, which was urged by Mr.. New
lands, is emphasized by the President
in his recommendations in regard to
the Philippines.
Whether or not our congressional
representative position and argu-
ments upon these subjects exercised
an influence in the executive depart
ment, does not matter. 1t is quite GER
tain that his views were expressed
long anterior 20 the formulation of the
Presidents message, and it must be
matter of qualification to Nevadans
that the ideas of the Chief Executive
of the nation tally SO closely with those
of their representative. The enter
tainment of similar views upon matters
of such Importance to the people of
Nevada can hardly fail to inure bene-
ficially to their local interests Reno

There was an air of animation Fri

friends and several newspaper men, and
evinced no signs of nervousness over
the outcome.

CANNOT PAY MORE THAN
THREE HUNDRED MILLIONS.
URE IS THE EXTREME LIMIT
OF CHINAsS ABILITY,
THREE REASONABLE POWERS.
BRITAIN, JAPAN AND THE
UNITED STATES PRESENT
MODERATE CLAIMS,

WASHINGTON, April 13.-The last
advices to the State Department from
MI. Rockhill contain further details re-
speeding the amount of the indemnities
claimed from China by the powers. 1t
appears that these claims have been
much exaggerated in some statements,
though the sum total is still far In ex-
cess of the amount of money it is be-
lieved here that China can raise. 1t is
the belief of the State Department that
the total claims should not be allowed
to exceed $3.50, 00O, 900 or 5000, O0O, 900.
According to information received here
the British claim, so far as formulated,
is reasonable in amount as compared
with other claims. In fact, the United
States, Great Britain and Japan repre-
sent in these negotiations the moderate
element whose desire is to prevent the
imposition of charges that will destroy
the Chinese government and result in
the division of the empire. None of
the claims exceed 800, 900, 900, and even
the largest is something less than this
mount. This is believed to be the
Russian claim, which is fixed at $780,
DOC, 200. The German claim is flexible.
ranging between $50, 0OO, 900 and $780,
DOC. 1000, but is nearer the former mark
at present. though it doubtless will
grow. AS already stated, the claim of
the United States is $25, OO0, 900, and
with these few totals in mind it will be
seen If the remaining powers are to be
allowed a proportionate share, the ag-
gregate will be beyond hina's ability
to pay, which has been tentatively esti-
mated at $500, 000, 900.
Nothing has yet been determined re-
speeding the method of raising the in
demnity fund, even after an agreement
is reported.
