detail with which Gen. Wood has laid
open the entire business, What does
not appear on the tabulated returns is
the fact that Gen. Wood has spent more
than $1,000 out of his private funds for
expenses which the government ought
properly to have shouldered.
There will not be much further de-
lay in enacting Cuban legislation.
Should no other way appear TO bring
the bill before the Senate, Senator Platt
will bring it up on his own initiative
without waiting for any party agree
ments or conferences or committee
reports. He will, if necessary, move to
discharge the committee from further
consideration of the reciprocity bill
and force it at once upon the attention
of the Senate. But he does not believe
that this will be necessary.

to Washington, and Mr.. Thurber got
into communication with the members.
He explained the scheme of the expor-
ters' association for distributing litera-
ture among influential people, and
proposed that they contribute to it.
The idea appealed to them, and it was
proposed to raise subscription for the
purpose. Afterward they decided to
ask Gen. Wood to contribute the
amount suggested from the revenues of
the island which where devoted to the
interest of the island. If Gen. Wood
had been a politician he probably
would have gone about the business in
some other way, but he is not a politi-
clan, without considering whether his
act would be open to misconstr1rtiel
bv political erae1,1ies IN the United
States, he paid out the money which he
was convinced would be used to ad.
vance measure of great benefit to the
people of Cuba. The money was duly
accounted for, and is represented by
proper vouchers. That is all there is
of it. Whatever Gen. Wood did was in
accordance with his general instruc-
tons, and was matter of detail which
would hardly have been brought to the
notice of the department officials in
Washington at the time. Very likely
if Secretary Root had been asked for
his opinion he would have advised an
other course But Gen. Wood is quite
willing to accept the responsibility.
The resolution introduced by Senator
Culberson is expected by some
to be fruitful in revelation. They have
had an idea for long time that if the
accounts of Our officials in Cuba were to
be closely scrutinized with the right
kind of political spectacles lot of poll.

Culberson's resolution calls for an item
lied account of all expenditures He
will have no trouble in getting it
although it will require some time tc
tabulate the figures. AS matter O.
fact the Senate is already in possession
of the principal part of the figures call
ed for. At the time of the disclosure
concerning the postal expenditures {

The little band of beet sugar boxers
in the Sentate have been highly elated
over the testimony of Francis B. Thur
Der before the Cuban committee.
Senators E1lsius and Burrows profess 10
attach great importance to the fact that
Mr.. Havemeyer gave Mr. Thurber S2,5 800
to help him in his work, and that the
Cuban military government made three
contributions, amounting in all to $500
So great was the Joy of Senators Elklns
and Burrows over these develop
ments that they kept the Senate in a
state of futtering excitement all day.
So far as any effect on the reciprocity
bill is concerned Mr.. Thurber's revela
tions will not count for much, in spite
of this furry. After crying aloud
for six months that the sugar trust
was going to make millions out of reci
procity legislation with which to ham
mer down the beet sugar industry, the
"boxers" have discovered contr1bu
ton of S2,5oo to a literary bureau te
help in the distribution of documents
The outcome of the investigation il
regarded as so unimportant that if /
goes to prove. anything, it shows how
little real interest the trust" has Ii
Cuban legislation.
The contributions of Gen. Wood on
of the Cuban revenues will perhaps b.
open to greater criticism, but at tn
most they reveal a lack of political e2
perience on the part of the militar,
governor of Cuba. Very early in tn
agitation for reciprocity the planter
and commercial bodies of Cuba appoint
ed a committee to work for reduction
in duties Oh Cuban imports into tn

HE BELIEVED IN IRRIGATION.
As a Wall Street Banker He Had
Learned the Value Of Water.

T7- $500 NEan
A Wall street broker met a cousin
from the west the other day and the
two went to lunch together. $50 you
have got rich in that Godforsaken
country remarked the broked.
well, not rich as you fellows may
look at it," was the answer" Made
about three hundred thousand dollors
in ten years, and the way things are
coming along at present I will Doubt
that figure inside of five years more"
"Not bad, not at all bad said the
broker as he lighted a cigar. "That's
better than I am doing. l had a mil
lion last year, but got squeezed in
that blame international power and
some other things, SO | am in debt
now. But you interest me with your
western tales. Don't mind telling me
how you made your money, do you?"
"Why certainly not. All did was
to go to Arizona ten years ago and
buy a piece of the desert. / paid 81
an acre for it, and melancholy looking
dirt it was too. | took title to 100
acres. The land was in the valley of
Salt river. With my neighbors I built
q. dam and some bitches and flooded
my land.
.'The change that took place sounds
like a story from Arabian Nights
Before the water came it was just a
stretch of sand-white, burning, life
less sand. After irrigation the alfal-
ia that I sowed ,sprang up SO that
you, could fairly g it grow. I got
three crops in a year. | planted cot
tonwood trees and now the place is as
green and verdant as n of your
New England valleys. l can sell the
land now for $125 an acre and I have
increased my holdings until I now
own 5000 acres. Not bad, Ell? But
perhaps you don't believe me, for
some of you fasteners look askance
when I talk irrigation"
'Oh, I believe you, all right" said
the broker as he gave a heavy puff
at his cigar. "As a stock broker I

knife, some revolver cartridges in a
small tobacco sack and a shotgun
cartridge. In addition to these a book,
seemingly a work on astrology, was
also found. The book gave evidence
Of usage and Judging from the marks
and annotations it contained had been
studied a great deal.
Everything found on the man show
conclusively that he hailed from
Butte. To confirm the supposition,
q stranger appeared shortly before
the Burlington eastbound train ar
rived who said he had known the
dead man personally. He said he was
Dave Carey and had formerly work
ed in the Metz mine, at Butte, but re-
Gently had been living on a milk
ranch, about four miles from that
city.
On the strength of all the testimony
concerning the dead mans home Cor
oner Chapple has wired to the chief
Of police at Butte informing him Of
the suicide and requesting that search
be made for friends or relatives Of
Carey.
An examination made Of the body
this afternoon showed that Carey put
the muzzle of the revolver into his
mouth when he fired the shot that
ended his existence. The bullet en-
tered the roof Of the mouth and came
out through the skull about an inch
back of the forehead.
At 3 o'clock this afternoon no an
swer had been received to the dis.
patch sent to Butte by DIR. Chapple.
Neither had a reply been received BY
Agent Hoyt OF the Northern Pacific
who wired an account Of the matter
to the company's agent at that place
The fact that.it is now we'll establish
ed that Carey resided some miles out
of town is taken as accounting fol
the delay.
Further proof of the deceased's
identity was obtained today from !.
gentleman named Waldeck, a resident
Of Butte, who was formerly interest
ed in the Metz mine and who knew
Carey. He says that the dead maj
was Carey beyond any doubt.

WILBUR is
state Fails to Sustain Charge Q
Horse Stealing.

Lt=
From Fridays Daily Gazette.
William Wilbur, given a prelim-
mary examination before Judge
Fraser yesterday afternoon on the
charge of grand larceny, was dismiss
ed. The defendant was accused of
having stolen a colt from John M.
Ramsey, of this city, which was
ranging on the Musselshell.
c. A. Quarenberg, proved an inn
portant witness for the defense. He
testified that he had sold the colt
in question to Wilbur and had re-
ceived SO for it. Another witness
claimed to have witnessed the trans
action and to have seen the colt de-
livered.
Quarenberg said the colt belonged
to a mar owned by him and explain
ed what he said was the mistake made
by Deputy Sheriff Harding, who ar
rested Wilbur, by saying that n of
Ramsey's mares, also with a colt, had
been running with his all summer
and that possibly her colt bore some
resemblance to the one owned by him
self. He furthermore testified that
he had seen the colt sold by him re
| peatedly suckle his mare.
AS no testimony was introduced for
the prosecution which disproved that
of the defense, the court ordered the
prisoner released.
