oThe convlet,a paunhtsr.

This play was witnessed by Franz
Ingram, the ex-convict who lost his
leg in a tussel with Merrill, and he
declared IL all very true TO real life
in a prison. and many features are re
produced at the Oregon state prison
such as blufiing the convicts with
threats OF punishment aud refusing
10 let their friends and children sec
them. Read between the lines the
play had a double meaning to mar
who has seen the real thing.

Going to the Philippines.

Colonel Lebo, commandant of the
Fourteenth cavalry, who is well known
in this city, has received orders from
the war department ordering him to
be in readiness to embark from San
Francisco by February /. The colonel
and his wife, who was formerly Miss
Grace Hawks, of this city, left for Fort
Grant last Friday evening
Two companies OF the Fourteenth
are at Fort Grant. one at Fort Apache
and one at Fort Wingate. Those who
had the opportunity of witnessing the
mounted drilling of the troops from
Fort Wingate on the fair grounds dur
ing the territorial fair, will have some
idea of what fine specimens of human
ity compose the Fourteenth cavalry.
1t is probable Mrs. Lebo will accom-
pany her husband on his journey.

Its Completion Was GrandIy
Celebrated To-day.
BANQUET IN HONOR JUSTICE HARLAN
Secretary Wilson Wants AppToprIa-
tion TO Stamp Out Cattle Diseases.
MISS ROOSEVELT A SOCIETY BUD

Cairo, Dec. 1O.-The completion of
the great Nile dam was celebrated at
Assouan today with great ceremonious
pageantry, in the presence of the Duke
and Duchess of Connaught, who ap-
peared on behalf of King Edward VII,
the Khedive and delegates from cities
throughout Egypt. The ceremony Of
Inauguration, which was performed by
the Duke of Connaught, consisted of
laying the last coping stone and OPEN
ing a number of sluices to let the wat.
er flow down the Nile. Following the
ceremonies the ducal party and other
guests left by special boat for Assiout
to inspect the supplementary dam
which has been built at that point.
Today's ceremonies at Assouan
mark the completion of the greatest
work of the kind ever attempted. AS
a triumph of engineering the Assouan
dam stands perhaps at the head of hui
man achievements. The dam is one
and quarter miles long. 1t is pierced
by $50 openings, twenty-three feet
high and seven feet wide, which have
steel sluice gates. The supplementary
dam at Assiout, few miles up the
river, is intended as a reinforcement
of the great dam to resist the force of
the spring floods and refrain them in
local reservoir capable of storing
more than 1905, 100000 cubic feet Of
water.
The irrigation works supplied by
this great reservoir will enable wide
tracts of land to bear two crops a
year instead of one. will bring waste
districts into tillage and will greatly
increase the area of sugar cultivation,
The work of construction was per-
formed by the English firm of John
Aird & Co., and it is estimated that the
total cost will amount to a little over
S25, 100000.

Premature Reading Of Res0-
IutiOns Cause Laughter.
THE STATEHOOD BILL TAKEN UP
Senator Bsvaidgs Presents Majority
Report Of the Committee.
THE NATIONAL HOUSE LEGISLATION

Washington. Dec. 10--When the SEN
ate convened today. Quay, of Pennsyl-
vania. submitted number of resolu-
tions and kilograms of citizens OF Ok
lahoma, favoring the omnibus state
hood bill and protesting against joint
statehood with the Indian Territor-
ry.
A wave of laughter swept over the
chamber when the clerk read one tele-
gram which expressed the opinion
that statehood for Oklahoma would
make it 'hopelessly democratic"
Mr.. Quay announced he had sent It
tc the desk by mistake.
At O'Clock the statehood bill was
taken up and read at length.
Senator Beveridge, chairman Of the
senate committee on territories, to-
day presented the report of the major
ity of the committee against the omni-
bus bill for the admission of Oklaho-
ma. New Mexico and Arizona as states,
and in support of the substitute bill.
reported by the committee for the ad-
mission of one state to embrace the
area covered by the territory of Okla
homa and Indian Territory. The ad-
mission Of Arizona and New Mexico is
opposed on the grounds that the popu-
lation in both territories is sparse and
insufficient in numbers; that vast
majority of the people Of New Mexico
are are Spanish descent and speak the
Spanish language only; that many Of
the people Of both territories do not
understand American institutions. The
assertion is made that many of the
people do not want statehood.

imprisonment and i'll treatment of Brit
ish subjects and the destruction of the
property. The under secretary assert
ed the government would follow prece-
dent in the enforcement in analogous
claims. Replying to Mr.. Bryce liberal,
Lord Cranborne said the British min
lister at Caracas had been instructed to
wait twenty-four hours after the pre-
sentation of the ultimatum and failing
a reply, to proceed to La Guayra,
where he was to await another twenty
four hours on board a British ship.
That period expired last night. Unless
in the meantime a concession had been
received it was necessary for his ma
iesty's government to take forcibe ac.
ton. The government had not been in
formed that such action had been
taken.

Claims are Small.

Caracas, Dec. 9-President Castro
received the correspondent of the AS
sociated Press at the Mira Flores Pal
ace today. In reply to questions the
president of Venezuela said:
The Venezuelan government has
not received any ultimatum, properly
speaking, but rather simultaneous re-
quests from Great Britain and Ger.
many. The claims which Great Britain
asks this government to settle are
small and up to the present time, we
are not aware of them. AS they have
never been presented, Venezuela has
consequently refused to settle them
Great Britain's action, therefore, is
without justification"
The president was asked what reply
the government would make to the re.
quests handed it by Germany and
Great Britain; he replied after reflect
ing: The Venezuelan government is
astonished that after the notes which
were transmitted by diplomatic repre-
sentatives of Germany and Great
