WILL BE INVESTIGATED.
Gen. Crozier's Interest in the Disap-
pearing Gun Carriage.

The Senate failed to go into executive
session to consider the nomination of Gen.
Crozier to be chief of ordnance at the
close of routine business yesterday not
W1thstandfng previous agreement to the
effect that this should be done The change
OF plan was made at the request of the
committee on military affairs, which at
It's meeting before the session of the Sen
ate began decided to enter upon more de-
tailed investigation before taking the mat
ter up in the Senate. This course was un-
dertaken by the committee upon the sug-
Sestion of Senator Scott, who said that it
had been represented that injustice had
been done Gen. CroZier in connection with
his interest in the Buffington-Crozier gun
carriage.
The committee discussed the question for
an hour or more, and at last decided to
make the investigation without asking to
have the adverse report already made by
the committee in Gen. Croziers case with
drawn. 1t was decided that all persons
having knowledge of the gun carriage, and
especially the members of the board Of
ordnance and fortifications, of which Gen.
Miles is president, should be summoned be-
fore the committee to give testimony
The committee also adopted a resolution
offered by Senator Proctor directing the
Secretary of War to send to the Senate
copies of all official reports from artillery
officers in regard to the Burlington Crozier
the War Department or to the board Of
ordnance and fortifications.
1t is the general opinion that the action
of the committee will have the effect of
pOstponing consideration of the nomina-
ton by the Senate for a considerable time

A NEW ARGUMENT.
Lands East Of the Arid Belt Would
Benefit From Proposed IRRIGATION.

ASASAAI - AOAh AOPOSOo 44AASdI1OAs
William H. Chadwick, chairman of the
transportation committee of the board of
trade of Chicago, has written a letter to
Representative Newlands of Nevada, the
author of the pending irrigation bill, pre-
senting new reasons why this measure
should be passed. Mr.. Chadwick holds that
the states lying east and northeast of the
arid land states suffer enormous loss as a
result of the burning heat coming from the
arid quarters. He says:
I'm behalf of many interests, which will
suggest themselves to you from my official
position, l ask to call your attention to an
argument in favor of the bill now in the
House. The districts which compose the
arid lands by reason of the intense dry
heat there produced and which, through
the eastward movement of all atmospheric
conditions across the continent, are, and
always have been, menace to all that
great agricultural country lying to the east
and northeast of the section in question, no
tably Texas Oklahoma, Kansas Missouri
Illinois, Iowa, South Dakota, Indiana and
ONO. The tremendous losses experienced
WITHIN the past twelve months by the far
mer, the live stock interests, the merchant
and common carriers. are fresh in our
minds. A veritable calamity
Inc great loss entailed through the par
tial failure of the corn crop and enforced
substitution on large scale of other grain
to supply the deficiency thereby caused,
with wheat, rye, oats, ETC., resulted in the
curtailment of exports to such an extent as
to be not only extraordinary, but in some
instances, as with corn, sensational
The effects in the eastern or consuming
states are notable and scarcely any part
or the Union has been unaffected by the
conditions produced by the scorching blasts
which originating only in the arid region,
blasted the crops over a large and import
ant part Of the country
we, who are directly affected by such
misfortunes, desire to earnestly second the
endeavor to remove the constant menace to
prosperity In such wide scope of terri
tory, and ask for legislation to that end"

gagged in games OF cards and crokonole,
to suit their fancy.
