PERSONA NON MATA
IN BULGARIA
Mr.. Dickinson's Activity in the Stone
Case Has Cost Him One Job.

Washington, March Gas one result
of his activities in the Stone case Mr..
Dickinson has lost his position as diplo-
matte representative to Bulgaria. When
he was in Sofia last fall he addressed
some very strong representations to the
Bulgarian minister for foreign affairs.
and apparently he has not been for
given, for now information comes to
hand that he is persona non grata.
a minister or diplomatic agent can
not be retained al his place against the
will of the country to which he is &C
credited. and that is Dickinsor's posi-
ton. 1t is very probable. however.
that our goernment, as nlanifesta-
ton of its displeasure. will refrain from
sending another diplomatic agent to
Sofia. though it will not be thus pre-
vented from making any demands on
the Bulgarian government in the mat
ter of the Stone case which the inquiry
now in progress may seem to justify.
The Bulgarian government has no
representative here. Mr.. Dickinson is
consul general at Constantinople be-
sides being diplomatic agent to Bull
garia and receives a lump salary of
$1,000 per annun. 1t is not likely that
he will suffer financially by this Bull
garian action.

PRESENT PLAN
OF IRRIGATION

President Roosevelt
He Does Not Favor the State Control
Feature - The Democratic Plan
for Conferring Self.Government
Upon the Filipinos.

Washington, March 29.-President
Roosevelt, in a conference with num-
Der of western congressman today
plainly stated his opposition to some
of the provisions of the irrigation bill,
now pending in the house. The presi-
dent heartily approved of the general
purposes of the bill, but he frankly
stated today that he would not approve
the measure as it, now stands. He is
especially opposed to the section pro-
viding for state control of the appro-
priation, distribution and use of water
from irrigation canals. The president
believes that federal supervision is es-
sential not only to success, but to q
fair and impartial distribution alto
gether removed from political or other
considerations.

that the Cuban delegates referred to
those General Miles would bring from
the Philippines. and he denies that
General Miles had anything to do with
their coming. He says General Miles
asked President Mckinley to give him
1900 troops then in the Philippines to
take to China and secure for him the
supreme command there at the time of
the Chinese trouble. This he says
would have necessitated the turning
over of large part of the islands. to
the insurgents. He criticises every
suggestion of General Miles in regard
to his proposed visit to the Philippines
He says the letter of Governor Taft
referred to contains charges by the
civil governor of one province against
the military in the Philippines, which
is now being investigated, and he
charges General Miles with trying to
secure the publica ton of these charges
before they are proven true or untrue
The presidents endorsement is as
follows:
white House, Washington, March
81. 1902. .---
THE memorandum of the secretary
of war is approved as a whole and as
to every part. Had there been any
doubt before. as to the wisdom of deny
ing General Miles request, these papers
would remove such doubt.

could have saved himself had he not

lists is as great as at the time OF the

At the Jail Mr.. Russell told Heron
what he was charged with and he pro-
tested innocence. He got down on his
knees and plead for an opportunity
to make oath on a stack of bibles that
he had found the razorS in an alley.
But the story was too thin and the fact
that he had told the boy who detected
him that he wanted to buy some steel
saws to let some friends out of jail
was nothing additional to his credit.
Finally he confessed, saying that in do
ing so he hoped the law would treat
him as leniently as possible. Then he
told the officer that the rest Of the ton

Copenhagen, March 29.-In an inter-
view with a representative Of the Asso-
ciated Press today on the subject of
Congressman Richardson's resolution
for the appointment of committee to
in vestigate the charges made by Cap
tain Christmas in regard to the sale Of
the Danish West Indies. high official
said:
Neither Christmas nor Gron was ever
given credentials as agent for the sale
of the Danish West Indies. They never
negotiated with Washington, and have
in no way influenced the negotiation.
These we're conducted through Laurits
s. Swanson, the United States minister
here and Constantin Brun, the Danish
minister at Washington. The Danish
government is under no obligation to
private persons. Hence no commission
is due nor will any be paid.
The alleged scandal is the result of a
quarrel between Christmas and Gron.
The latter claimed that he effected the
sale and hence he wanted the COM
mission. Christmas made a similar
claim. accompanied by a confidential
report to the Danish government, con-
tanning statements regarding bribery,
etc, as recently published in Washing
ton. Most ot the report was printed
by the Danish press some time ago.
Gron. seeing it was hopeless to expect
a commission. started for Washington
with the Christmas report in his
pocket. boasting to the anti-sale ad-
vocates here that he would be revenged
by influencing congress to decline to
pay the appropriation for the purchase
! Of the islands.

Great Suffering for Lack of Water on

Denver. Colo, March 2g.-Reports
from Orchard. Colorado, say that many
cattle on the plains are in n pitiable
condition for want of water. Many of
the water holes in Morgan county have
been fenced in by the owners of small
herds and the other cattlemen whose
stock is shut off from water are
threatening to take retaliatory neas-
ures.
Much III feeling has also been excited
among the owners of range cattle by
the impounding of animals, said to be
in need of water, by officials of the
humane society. A snow and wind
storm prevailed in northeastern Colo
rado today and heavy losses among the
weakened range cattle are feared.

that the hearings be open to the pub

to make any arrangements necessary
to secure the presence of witnesses. 1t
was understood, however, that several
parts will appear voluntarily without
being summoned.
As the charges showed they had been

sidered desirable that the latter should
appear and he will probably be heard
