Washington, June 11.-Just before adj
journment today the senate agreed to
vote finally On the Nicaragua canal bill
and all pending amendments on Thurs
day, June 18th, the voting to begin at
2 o'clock p. m.
Before consideration of the canal
question was resumed today the motion
Of Senator wellington, of Maryland, to
discharge the committee on privileges
and elections from further consideration
of the resolution providing for the sub
mission of an amendment to the on
stitution for the election of senators by
the people was defeated-21 to 80, after
n sharp debate.
During the discussion Senator Vest. Of
Missouri, sal he was anxious to have
a square issue on the question present.
ed but he was opposed to the Depew
amendment and was opposed to the
resolution as it came from the house.
He had been a democrat for more han
fifty years, but he was not in favor of
the declarations in democratic plat
TOMS for this resolution. He denied the
right of any conVention-state or ma
tionaI-to dictate how he should vote on
any question. He was opposed to the
pending resolution because he believed
that when the time came for the peo-
pie to be protected against their own
ignorance and imbeclliCy it was a no
tice that popular government was a
failure. He inclined 10 the belief that
this was a plan adopted by adroit pol
iticians to induce the people TO believe
that they were purer han some other
people.
House OF Representatives.
The house today dispatched the Cor
liss Pacific able bill by the same
method it adopted yesterday In the case
of the forest reserve bill. 1t struck
out the enacting cluse of the measure
by a vote of lie to Il, thus giving no OPP
portunity to test the strength of the
Dalzell substitute which authorized the
president to contract with a private
company for the laying of a cable
Mr.. Richardson, of Alabam referred
at some length to the possibilities in the
development of wireless biography and
argued that it would I've unWlSe, on the
threshold Of the development of the new
SYSTEM, for the government to eXpend
SO, 900, 900 or $40, 600, 900 for a submarine
cable which might be valuelesS in a few
years. 1t was better, he insisted, to al
low a private company to take whatever
risk was involved.
Mr. Richardson then read the contract
under the post roads act of 1866, whlch
the Commercial Cable Company agreed
to make with the secretary OF the
treasury covering thessale OF the cable
in case of necessity to the government,
the control of the cable by the govern
ment in time of war, etc. He argued
that these terms were in every way
very advantageous to h government.
Mr.. RICHARDSON declared that as an
economic business proposition the gov
rnmen cable was unjustiiable and ne
quoted the mmer committee re-
mort against a former bill of this KIND
to the effect that the government cable
would cost SIS, 100000 and would chiefly
benefit 500 foreigners n 100 American
citizens. He read letter from John
Mckay of the Commercial
guaranteeing that the woulo
build an an-American cable and ho'
touch upon foreign soil.

NEVADA FARM FIGURES.
uishest Values Shown In Humboldt and Elko
Counties

The total land area of Nevada is 109,-
74O square miles. or 70,233.647 acres. of
which 2565. .647 acres, or 81 per cent are
included in farms
While the population of Nevada was at
its maximum in 1880. and has declined
steadily since that date, there has been
an increase in the number of farms for
each decade, except 1880 to 1890. when a
decrease of 80 per cent was shown. In
the last decade the increase was 10 per
cent. The total acreage, however, shows
al continual increase, the rate of gain for
the last decade being 54.4 per cent. The
average size of farms decreased in the
decade 1850 to 1870 but afterwards in
creased rapidly on account of the addi-
ton of large areas of grazing land from
the public domain to the farm acreage.
The decrease in the last decade indi-
Gates division of farm holdings and a
most extensive cultivation of the soil.
In all counties except Nye the number
of farms has increased rapidly since 1890.
Douglas, Lincoln and Storey counties
reported more than twice as many in
1900 as ten years before, and in Humboldt
Lyon. and Ormsby counties the gains
were nearly as great. The farm acreage
has increased In every county except
White Pine. where 1t has decreased one
third; in Douglas, Lincoln, Lyon and
Storey counties II has more than dou-
bled.
A lower value of land and buildings
than in 1890 is reported for Esmeralda,
Nye and White Pine counties. For the
State the average value of farms In 1900
Is S7,150. ranging from approximately
81 900 in Lincoln and Storey counties to
more than $4,000 in Eureka, Humboldt
and Lander counties, the last three con-
tanning large livestock farms.
All counties but White Pine show an
increased value for implements and ma
chinery. The largest relative gains were
in Douglas, Storey. Ormsby and Lincoln
counties The value of livestock for the
State has more than doubled. Ormsby
and White Pine counties alone showing
decreases. The highest values per farm
are reported from the two northern
counties OF Elko and Humboldt.

DESERTER WIS PARDONED
Edward Cochran VIII be HOnOrabIy
Discharged From Army.

Orders have been telegraphed from the
war department to the military officials
at Manila to release Private Edward p.
Cochran, who is serving a sentence there
for desertion.
Edward Cochran was a 16-year-old
school boy, residing with his parents
on South Emporia avenue, and last April
he, with a number Of other boys, enlisted
at the local recruiting station. He was
sworn in before his father knew of it.,
and the boy was sent TO the Pacific coast
before his father could get an answer
from the department at Washington, and
then it was only 10 say that they could
do nothing.
Then the father enlisted the services
of Huffman & Comfy. who took the mat
ter up TO the proper officials, and then
Congressman Long was enlisted in the
case, and yesterday came the notice that
the congressman efforts had been sue
cessful.
The boy was sent to the Vancouver
Barracks for drill. and after few
months OF the hard work of a soldier $
life he, with his companions. deserted.
Young Cochran went of by himself and
got to Seattle before he realized his crime.
and started to return and was captured
by the army officers, court martialed and
sentenced to three years Imprisonment in
the Philippines and left for his long
exile on the first steamer. The letter re-
ceived by the attorneys yesterday stated
that he had been given a furlough, and
would be given an honorable discharge
when his term of enlistment expired.

NO ACTION TAKEN
Railroad Proposition Fails to
Arouse Enthusiasm.
TOO MUCH WAS ASKED
Mr.. Nevins Wanted Wichita
to Pay for Surveys.

Mr.. Nevins, vice-president Of the
Omaha and Gulf road, met with the rail-
road committee OF the Chamber Of Com
nerce and a few Of the directors, in the
private Office of Mayor Mclean, IN the
city building yesterday. to(discuss With
them the question of building the pro-
posed road in the direction of Wichita
rLe meeting was not a public one, but it
is understood that not much headway
was made towards a definite proposition
Charles L. Davidson, who was called into
the meeting, and a few other conserva-
tive men, are reported to lack that en-
thusiasn over the proposition CT Mr..
Nevins which has always characterized
them, if what is offered is in the inter-
est of Wichita 1t is said that Mr. David
son especially old not like that part or
the proposition which contemplates that
the preliminary survey of the road should
be PAID for by Wichita. This would cost
a nice figure, but it would not be a guar
antee of the road coming this way by
any means. IL is the impression Of the
better business element of the Chamber
Of Commerce that Wichita is Of enough
Importance, as the center of the grain
and livestock belt of the southwest for
the Omaha road to make its own preiim-
mary survey at its own expense. It is
deemed by them that Wichita should
not be asked to do more than TO give the
proper aid in bonds, for the building of
the road through the county and such ad-
ditional bonds would be right for what
ever the road would DO for Wichita IN
the matter Of terminal facilities
While the exact details of the meeting
could not be learned, it was noticeable
that some Of The strongest men in the
Chamber of Commerce came out of the
meeting lacking in enthusiasm. The mat
ter win be presented regularly to the
board OF directors at their next meeting
and viii probably go before that body
in the shape of a report from the rail-.
road committee.
Mr.. Fred Richter. who has taken
deep interest in securing this railroad
for Wichita. was at the meeting.

Of the city council which grants the COM
pany the right of way through the city.
The company agrees that for this right of
way it VIII establish its shops and gen
eral Offices and also its principal power
plant in this city.
The farmers south of the city are very
enthusiastic about the proposition and
many have offered the right of way
through their farms If the company viii
build An electrical engineer made a
short survey of the country before the
franchise was presented and stated that
the road could be built at very little ex
pense and the country through which the
road is 10 pass is rather level and it
would not be hard to construct the road
as there would be very little grading TO
be done and the cars could attain greater
speed on this liue and it would be posi-
bic 10 have the cars run on a schedule of
fifty miles per hour.
The engineer who viii have charge of
the construction work and viii make
the preliminary survey in a short time is
one of the best known engineers in the
country and one that thoroughly under
stands his business and from the plats
so far furnished him is of the opinion
that the road could be built for less
money than any other line in the coun-
try as no road has as level a country
through which it is proposed TO go.
The company is composed mostly of
eastern electric railway men who have
had considerable experience in interur-
ban railway building and they have am
pie capital TO work with and all are very
enthusiastic about the building of the
road and are working as fast as possible
to get a good man to take charge Of the
work They want the road constructed
as soon as possible and this win be done
if the engineer who now has the matter
in charge VIII stay with the company
until The project is completed
