When the House met today Mr.. Ray On.
". chairman of the judiciary committee.
asked unanimous consent that Monday. after
the consideration of bills under suspen-
sion of the rules and Tuesday be set apart
for the bill to amend the bankruptcy act
There was no objection and the order was
made.
Mr. DaIzeIl from the committee on rules,
then presented a special order for the con-
sideratiou of the Senate irrigation bill. one
day for general debate and one day for
amendment under the five-minute rule.

eulogies on the life and character of the
late Representative Cummings of New
York was modified so to continue the

MI Robinson 0nd1 opposed the adoption
Of the rule for the consideration of the frri-
CATION bill. He declared that the bill would
be beneficial To the arid land states and
dangerous To all the others. He criticised
severely the action of the democratic con-
gressional committee in adopting resolu-
ton f8vOring the irrigation bill He de
elared that the committee was without
Jurisdiction and had no power to bind dem
ocratic members. The whole scheme was
undemncratic. he asserted, and was in the
interest of land grant railways.
Mr. Underwood (Ala-) favored the adop-
ton IF the rule He argued that the only
method of building up the arid land states
was to provide for their irrigation The
bill would not take dollar out of the
treasury. he said; it would only use the
proceeds from the sale of lands in each
state for the benefit of such state.
Mr.. Shafroth (ColD also argued for the
adoption of the rule.
Dir. Newlands New also supported the
rule. The resolution then was adopted
without division.

Submits Plat,

Mr. Locker submits a plat of the To-
cality compiled from various sources. In
his statement he says:
In order not to complicate this plat
have omitted to sketch in the actual present
water line. as 1t is probably correctly CIV
en- in the Hopkins plats. According to
Hopkins the fence herein referred To would
run for distance of about 300 feet east
ward of the west line of South Capitol
street on solid ground. which has been built
up by dumping. etc.
In view of the decision in the Potomac
flats case, whereby | understand that the
L nited States made good the claim that
the engraved plan showing all streets OPEN
ing out clear to a bounding water street
and nowhere cut off by blocks was the true
map Of the city, | would think it would
be unwise TO grant the permit desired as
1t would be just so much more obstruction
to the reclamation of the true public do
main along the Eastern branch
Il suggest that the case be sent to the
city solicitor for his opinion as to the legal
points involved"

The prospects of the Cuban reciprocity

testimony before the Cuban relations COM
mittee yesterday continued today to be an
absorbing topic Of conversation at the Capt.

the acts of General Wood and the military
government of Cuba into range of the
democratic fire.
The following may be accepted as the
view of some of the influential friends Of
the Cuban reciprocity bill in the Senate
upon General Woods authorization of the
