mated that the cost of bringing water
to the settler would be about $40 per
acre so that at the present rate the bill
would bring 250,00O acres under irriga-
tion annually.
Mr.. Underwood (Ala.), argued that the
only method of building up arid land
states was to provide for their irrigation.
The bill would not take a 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.. Olmstead defended the machinery
of the House, arguing that present legis-
lative methods were necessary for the
transaction of public business. Fourteen
thousand bills had been introduced at
the present session. The House would
have to sit up night and day for ten years
to consider and pass upon all of them.
He went over the record to show that
more bills had been passed and more
unanimous consents had been accorded in
the last Congress than in the Forty
ninth and Fiftieth Congresses before the
present system went into effect. He con-
cluded by adjuring members in the Ian
guage of Western music hall Don't

reached the colliery safely. few min
utes later superintendent Thomas came
out, and when about 800 yards from the
breaker, he says. a number of men, who
were in ambush, opened fire on the loco
motive. Fortunately the engine was
travelling rapidly a1d it was soon out
of range of fire. The officials say about
ten shots were fired.
There were six persons on the locomo-
tive, the engineer, fireman, conductor,
two brakeman and superintendent
Thomas AS soon as the firing began the
six men Immediately dropped to the floor

tennial celebration of the West Point
Military Academy was ended today with
the presentation of diplomas to the
and the ceremony took place out of doors
on that part of the parade grounds known
as Cavalry plain" An open tent over
a platform had been erected for the
speakers and officials and standing at
the front of the platform President
Roosevelt presented each new officer
with his diploma.
1t was expected the President would
make Q. few remarks. but &c simply
shook hands with each cadet. On the
platform besides the President were
General Horace Porter, General Miles,
Secretary Root Secretary Moody, the
Chinise Minister Wu Ting Fang. Sena-
tor Pettus (Ala.). and others.
The speakers were General Dick, for
the Board of Visitors; Secretary Root
fer the Government and General Miles
for the army.
The SECRETARY told how an old officer
in the late war happened to come under
the command of a young volunteer Off
Ger and yet continued to do his duty
without giving any sign of the feelings
n must have had as an old and faithful
soldier. His conduct attracted atten-
tion and the President" said the speak
er, 'picked him out to lead the Ameri-
can army to Pekin, General A. r. Chat
fee. 1t was because he ruled his own
spirit that the President thought he
could take a city"
General Miles remarks today were
chiefly those of an older to younger of
ficers and referred almost wholly to the
business of war. He said there were su-
preme moments in the life of a soldier,
ano when an officer knows he is doing
just what the emmy thinks he is not, and
when he feels one more victory has been
added to American glory. General Miles
was loudly cheered and applauded when
he arose to speak.
