MEXICAN HORSE BREEDING.
Great Interest Being Displayed by
the Government

CHIHUAHUA, Mex, May 30-The Mex
can Government is preparing to take de-
cded steps to improve the breed of horses
i'm this country. By Il law which has just
been passed President Diaz is empowered
to enter into contracts with persons who
will establish horse-breedIng farms. On
it's side the Government offers freedom
from taxes for terms of from five to fif-
teen years suspension of the import
duties on all stock and on all materials
W hich may be needed in the construction
of the buildings or for the maintenance
of the farm. 1t offers, too, to buy fine
stock and distribute it among the farms,
this stock to be paid for by the breeders
III horses which they may raise and which
shall be suited for army purposes. On
their part the breeders are required to in
vest at least 100000 in their farms. to
give a guarantee for the performance of
their contracts, and to submit to an Of
fetal inspection, the expenses of which
are to be met by them. The contracts
with the breeders are to run from nve
to fifteen years, according to the amount
Of money invested in the farms
In order TO encourage farming along its
line, the Chihuahua and Pacific Railroad
has Gecided to establish an experimental
station in the Guerrero Valley For this
purpose the company has purchased
large tract of land and has appointed as
agricultural agent Prof. J. j. Haney, who
was for some years in charge of the eN-
perimental station of the Kansas state
Agricultural College. The company viii
furnish seeds to farmers along its line,
and Prof. Haney will make trips over the
road, visiting the farmers and giving
them free advice as to their work.

AN IRRIGATION CONFERENCE.
A Call Issued After the Recent Dis
cussfOn at Omaha

OMAHA. Neb., May 3O-After a pre-
liminary discussion in this city in which
various Western lawmakers took part,
ElwGod Mead, of the irrigation bureau,
appearing for the Government the Con-
gressional delegations of Nebra ska and
Wyoming have issued call for the con-
sideration of matters touching irrigation
and public lands. The real deliberations
are to take place at Cheyenne, Wyo, on
June 20. and Congressman viii be present
from Nebraska, Kansas, North and
South Dakota, Utah, Nevada, Colorado.
Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Ida
no.
Senator Dietrich of Nebraska set forth
his scheme for the employment of State
and Federal eonvicts in building canals
and reservoirs in the arid lands of the
West and suggested that the prison labor
be guarded by United States troops, who
would thus be given employment in time
of peace. The workmen also would not
come into competition with organized
labor
Mr. Mead expressed disapprobation of
the United States taking up the burden
of irrigation directly, believing that the
initiative should come from the States
expecting benefit. The opposite view was
the National Irrigation Congress He
was empowered to draw up a bill for sub
mission to Congress setting forth his plan,
the same request being made of Mr.. Mead.
The two propositions VIII be laid before
the conference at Cheyenne.

THE KRUPP PLATE CRACKED.
Failure of Armor Tests at the In
dian Head Grounds.

The first test Of armor plate, treated by
the Krupp process, and intended for an
American warship, was made at the naval
proving grounds at Indian Head, Md.
yesterday. 1t resulted in failure of the
plate. There have been tests heretofore
OF Krupp armor made by American firms
for foreign Governments which have re-
suited successfully, and yesterdays fail
ure was all the more surprising on that
account. The gun and projectile won a
complete victory over the plate used as
a target.
A group of 800 tons of 5-inch lower case
ment arnior for the new battleship Maine
was represented by the plate which had
been selected by the Government experts
for trial. Under the specifications of the
test, ability OF the plate TO withstand the
projectile was to determine whether the
group represented should be accepted or
rejected and the outcome means that the
contracting manufacturers. the Bethlehem
Steel Company. will probably lose more
than $150,O00 Two shots were fired at the
plate from a 6-inch naval rife, armor-
piercing projectiles being used. The spec
ifications required a minimum striking We
locity OF !, ,S95 foot-seconds A crack in
the plate was developed by the first shot
and the second penetrated deeply making
a large boss" a bulge in the rear, and
destroying the plates protective qualities
The plate was then declared to be a fail
ure.
Considerable surprise was expressed by
the naval ordnance experts who Witness
ed the test over the failure of the plate
20 withstand the projectiles. 1t is believed
by some of these that the plate contained
defects and that the crack
developed by the first shot existed before
the test was made.

BosToN's PROPOSED SUBWAY.
Objections to the Bill by Business
and Labor Organizations

BOSTON, May 3O-The House of Repre-
sentatives did not get the new subway bill
In print yesterday until after the session
opened. and, therefore, after opposition
gave a large majority for the motion of
Mr.. Saunders, of Boston. one of it's critics.
to postpone the consideration of the bill
until Monday. The line of the proposed
subway is to be under Washington Street
from Broadway on the south to Haymar-
ket Square On the north. there to con-
meet with the existing subway. The bill
is based upon the petition of the Presi-
dents of the Boston Associated Board of
Trade and of the Citizens Association OF
Boston (the former specifying a route
under the great business line of Wash
ington Street. and the latter asking for
additional subways). and reflects the pop
ularity and necessity of the existing sub
way and the disposition of the people to
nave more.
But the progress of events in the com
mittee considering the matter was
thrown wholly out of form by the propo-
sition of the Boston Elevated Railroad
Company TO build the subway under
Washington Street, and give it to the
city, provided the company could have
the right to run it without rentals fifty
SNeliS. pun AillS proposition, dILer con-
sultation with the officials in private
session and after a public hearing, the
bill now pending was reported. The com
mittee changed the term of fifty years
to forty, and two members have dis
sented from even that, thinking the term
is too long. The business associations
oppose the plan of the railroad. 1t is op-
posed by the Public Franchise League, a
new organization of which Thornton X.
Lothrop, a well-known lawyer, is presi-
dent. 1t is also opposed by the laboring
interests of the city. which demand that
the enterprise be kept closer to the peo-
pie.
The bill contains no provision for a ref
erendum 10 the voters of Boston, which is
desired by those who wish to keep the
under popular control.
One strong objection to the bill is that
although the lease of the present subway
to the elevated road, as successor of the
West End, had only twenty-five years to
run from the start. this overlaps that by
over fifteen years and therefore prac-
tically puts the public in the power OF the
for so much longer. 1t is felt
by many that the leases should terminate
at the same time

Secretary Roots Hazinr Order.

Secretary Root has earned the con-
gratulations and thanks of the country
by putting his official foot down with
crushing force upon the system of haz-
ing and occasional characterization at
West Point, which has existed there for
a great many and too many years. The
traditions Of the Academy, which have
governed the cadets rather than their
sense Of responsibility under their
oaths. have led to a state Of affairs
which has become intolerable.
In the matter of hazing, with which
the country has become familiar, to its
modification, it has been developed
that upper classmenl have been habit
ually cruel. brutal, and inhuman to the
newer boys at the school. When the
conditions were investigated on the
ground by 81 committee of Congress,
and the cadets saw that they were LA
BILE to receive severe punishment, they
voluntarily and formally declared and
agreed that they would stop hazing and
be good in the future, and were let off
with a general and rather perfunctory
reprimand, qualified by the statement
that their agreement to refrain from
brutality in the future was considered
ample to cover their past sins.
But the boys have not lived up to
their pledges. Not long ago a large
number OF them engaged in an act Of
riot and insubordination which, If they
had been common enlisted men, would
have sent them TO the Leavenworth
penitentiary for a term of years, and
probably with ball and chain. AS a
result Of that outbreak five have been
been suspended without pay for one
year, and minor but relatively severe
punishments have been visited upon
forty-six others
The most encouraging feature of the
whole affair is that Secretary Root, in
endorsing the punishments prescribed
by the Academy authorities, has issued
an order making haZing, "bracing," or
any other form of persecution or tor
ture hitherto prevalent at West Point
punishable by summary dismissal He
has taken the bull by the horns, and
from what we know of the determina-
tion Of his character. as long as he re-
mains at the head Of the War Depart
ment any infraction of the rule he has
laid dewn will be met with the sternest
and most unrelenting punishment. His
is the right way, and in taking it he has
added greatly TO his popularity with the
American people.
