FIGHT OVER ARKANSAS RIVER.
Answer of Colorado Is Filed in United

Washington, Nov. 5.-The answer of
the state of Colorado In the suit of the
state of Kansas VS.. Colorado for the
restriction of the use of the water of the
Arkansas river by the latter state, was
filed in the United States supreme court
today. In general, all the allegations
of the bill of complaint are denied and
it is set forth that the appropriations
of water complained of were made in
accordance with and in reliance upon
the doctrine respecting the appropria-
ton of the water of the natural streams
for beneficial uses which, by usage and
custom prevailed in the arid region of
the United States at the time of said
appropriations, and which, by the rec
ognition and approval of the United
States has all times been the law APP.
plicable to the public lands in said arid
region"
1t is urged that the people of Kansas
have themselves recognized the neces-
sity of the use of the water of the
streams for the purpose of irrigation
by SO using the water themselves.

SHIPPING INTERESTS GROWING.
Report of the Commissioner of Naviga-
ton Made Public

Washington, Nov. 5.--The annual re-
port of the commissioner of navigation
shows that on June go 1902, the docu-
mented tonnage of the United States
was the largest in our history, COM
prising 24,273 vessels of 5,797,902 gross
tons.
The increase over last year is almost
wholly in large steel steamers. In ten
years the number of American, British
and German square rugged vessels has
decreased SO per cent.
American vessels carried S.S per cent
of our exports and imports, compared
with 81 per cent in 1901.
The outlook for steel shipbuilding in
the United States for the current fiscal
year is not so promising as was last
wear On July /, 1902, there were build
ing or under contract in the United
States 347,5O0 tons of steel merchant
vessels.
Receipts from tonnage taxes amounts
ed to $S6S,7S4, of which only S6S,173
were paid by American vessels.
The report prints at length the agree
ment of the trans Atlantic merger and
it's fleet of over 100000 tons and says:
"The organization of SO great a navi-
cation company under American aus
pices is, however, the most important

What the Merchants Say About the
American Invasion" in Footwear.
London, Nov. 5.-The British shoe
and leather merchants have seized the
opportunity offered by the annual
leather trade exhibition, which opens
here today, to seek to demonstrate that
the American invasion of that trade
is not as important as has been claim
ed. The promoters quoted statistics
showing that the imports of American
shoes in 1901 were about half million
pairs. Alderman Boyce of Leicester,
one of the centers of trade, in his presi-
Dental address. admitted that British
manufacturers had for some time de-
pended on American machines, but
British machinery is now coming to the
fore. American competition had taught
them something, and the British man
ufacturer, workman and machine max
err had all awakened to the needs of the
times. Among other things the Ameri-
cans had taught them was that there
are a limited number of British con-
sumers who prefer lightness, fiexibility
and comfort to durability. The British
aim had been durability, but, said Mr..
Boyce: IF you prefer boots that will
send you home barefooted because the
soles and uppers have parted, we can
now oblige you with those also"
Another speaker admitted that he
was then wearing a pair of American
shoes that We're very comfortable, but
he did not know what would happen if
he went out in the rain.
Another speaker predicted the same
fate for the American boot invasion as
has overtaken the cycle and tobacco in
vasfon.
An inspection of the exhibits hardly
confirmed the oratorical view, almost
every mechanical device for cheaper
ing the production. of shoes being of
American invention.

After the airship, a balloon like affair,
had ascended, the fireworks We're set
off. They included all kinds, but prin-
cipaily bombs. These were discharged
from mortars set along Madison ave-
nue.. The crowd was not far from them
and was densely packed into the
square.
Suddenly there was a loud explosion
on the street level and pieces of bombs
and exploding fireworks We're sent in
every direction.
AS soon as the crowd realized from
the sight of people thrown to the
ground either dead or injured that an
accident had happened they became
ranic stricken and rushed back madly

From Its Right ofWay.
st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 5.-In the de-
cision handed down yesterday by Judge
Thayer, of the United States circuit
court of appeals, in which the Great
Northern was worsted in it's suit TO
Gust the Western Union from the rail-
roads right of-way, the decision holds
that the contention of the Great North
ern Railway Company in this instance
meant little less than confiscation.
The circuit court of appeals also fur
Their holds that the contract which the
telegraph company has with the Great
Northern was and is for perpetual
right of-way and not to be disrupted,
but it is allowed that the railway COM
pany is entitled to the cost of trans
porting any and all material which the
telegraph company uses in the con-
struction of its lines.
The litigation involved $50 miles of
telegraph lines built prior to 1882 and
valued at $2,500.00o. The lines are on
the old ST. Paul, Minneapolis & Mani
toba road, built prior to 1892 and de-
cided by the court TO be held jointly by
the telegraph and railroad companies.
The court adds that should the two
companies in dispute fail to agree as to
the amount of compensation for trans
porting construction materials the
court will appoint master in chancery
and two commissioners to take testi-
mony and report and the court will then
pass on the matter.
Judge Thayer wrote the decision and
Judge Caldwell coneurred. Judge San
bern dissented. The decision is re-
garded as very important in view of the
litigation Of q somewhat similar char
acter now pending in the east.
