AN IRRIGATION MERGER
This Mooted Subject Occupies the
Congress To-day-It Grows
in Favor.

Colorado Springs. Col, Oct. S.-The all
absorbing topic; among the delegates to
the National Irrigation Congress to-day is
the proposed merger with the Trans7Miss-
issippi Commercial congress.
The merger is growing in favor and
seems certain to win. It is, however,
being strenuously opposed by strong
faction headed by F. J. Keizel of Ogden
Utah, on the gorund that the irrigation
should be maintained as an issue of itself
The old leaders of the irrigation congress-
headed by George Maxwell of Chicago and
John Henry Smith Of Salt Lake, strongly
favor the merger on the ground that the
irrigation congress in securing the passage
of the irrigation act has accomplished its
mission and should leave development OF
the irrigation theory to the government
officials a." Z
An effort.was made this smorping by the
opposition to force the Question to a vote
byS shutting off further speech -1fiakin5a
until the reports of the committees son
resolutions and permanent organization
mad been heard. The sense of the conven-
t1on was to some extent determined by the
voting down Of this resolution.

CATION were, made I'd. .by-q~Congressmen

JOHN KENSlT IS DEAD
The Exciting Life Of the Anti-Ritu-
+ alistic Crusader Comes to
h a Sudden End.

Liverpool Oct. S.-John Kensit'the anti
ritualistic crusader who was seriously in
jured Sept. 25 at Birkenhead near Liver
pool by being struck with a chisel thrown
at him after he had addressed a meeting,
died to-day of pneumonia, supervening
from the wound.
His son who is participating in the anti
ritualistic campaign and who was recent
ly imprisoned for refusing to- find bail to
keep the peace was permitted by the home
secretary to visit his father yesterday
Young Kensit had been under treatment
since the day he was injured. After an
affecting meeting the son returned tc
prison.
The elder Kensit's protests against the
confirmation Of ritualistic bishops on sew
eral occasions caused sensational scenes
Among the most prominent incidents OF
the deceased's career was the disturbance
which he created at St. Cuthberts church
Kensington. on Good Friday, 1898, by hif
protest against "the alteration of the
cross" according to the Roman Catholic
missal.

MOOSE HUNT NOT. LIKELY
The Pressure of Public Business Is
~. Too Much for the Pres:
=. - ident. =.

From, The Journal Bureau. Room 49, foA
Building, Washiss0tor.
Washington, Oct. SIT Is very unlikely
that President Roosevelt can accept the
invitation to a Moose hunt in northern
Minnesota on; Nov. 10. The pressure OF
public business will probably prevent. He
will then be writing his message to con-
gress, and in view of the condition Of
public sentiment regarding numerous i'm
portant questions, this message must be
carefully thought out. Many conferences
with leading members of the republican
party, extending over several weeks, will
undoubtedly he held before 1t has been
completed. Then comes the coal strike,
and when the important part the presi-
dent is taking in it's proposed settlement
is borne in mind, it is difficult to under
stand why he cannot give definite reply
to a hunting invitation at this time. The
chances for acceptance, however, are ex-
ceedingly remote, Notwithstanding the
presidents personal feeling in favor Of the
trip. . -

Saltwater, Mimi, Oct S:.7-Offcials be-
lieve that Oluf Milander, who almost sue
ceeded in numbering his wife, is feigning
insanity. He was arraigned in munich
pal court this morning and also examined
by Drs. Freleigh and Boleyn in the office
of the probate judge. Assault with in
tent to kill is the charge lodged against
him. The municipal court hearing was
continued until Monday .dn order that a
full inquiry may beamade into his mental
condition. ~
In the probate court hearing the doctor
would not pronounce him insane, and
County Attorney Nethaway and Probate
Judge Wilson, other, members of the
board, were satisfied Milander was sham
ming. He stated. to the board that his
mind was "a blank when he assaulted his
wife, and said he had not been right
mentally since a certain Illness. Deputy
Clayton, who Is an old acquaintance of
Milander, visited him in jail prior to the
examination, and found him perfectly ra-
tional and natural in all respects. When
brought before thezoffcers his manner at
once changed. The mental examination
was continued until Tuesday.
The only reason Milander gives for the
assault on his wifesis that he had a dream
that he would soon die, and that he
