Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock
has made a denial of a report which has
been In general circulation, that the ad-
minstration of the new irrigation law
would confer it's benefits sooner in some
states than others. Mr.. Hitchcock de-
ciares that there shall be no politics in
the business of locating reservoirs in the
West and that he will not allow him
self to be influenced in the choice of
such sites by questions of any other sort
than the actual scientific reports of the
surveyors sent out to report on proper
locations for reservoirs. The Secretary
has set apart s173, 900 from the proceeds
OF the sales of public lands to be used
IN prosecuting surveys during the sum-
mer In all the States where it is at all

WHAT CONGRESS DID AND DIDN'T DO.

The New York World In summing up
the work of the Congress justadjourned
says:
1.-The purpose of the people in electing
a Congress is to get things done that need
to be done and that ought to be done.
When, therefore. at the close of a session
it has lone a few things which it should
nave done and left undone many things
which it ought to nave done, it is evident
that it has failed in its duty.
The first session of the Fifty-seventh
Congress, now closed, has passed four
measuresof prime importance:
1. Repeating $40, 900. 900 of the Spanish
war taxes.
2. Providing an Isthmian canal.
8. Establishing a civil government of
Filipinos by Americans.
a. ~Inaugurating a great work of irri-
cation from the proceeds of sales of
public lands.
1t has failed to take any action to pro-
vide
L. Reciprocity and a living chance for
Cuba.
I. Protection against trusts and other
monopolies.
3. Abatement of tariff taxes on goods
controlled by monopolies that are sold
more cheaply abroad than at home.
4. The suppression of anarchism and
executive officers.
5. The better regulation of undesirable
immigration.
6. The securing of reciprocal trade re-
lations with other nations to extend our
trade and benefit home industry, as
strongly urged by President Mckinley
and his successor.
Z. The election of Senators by the peo-
pie.
s. A national militia.
8. A revision of the civil-service-reform
system and an extension of the classi-
fed service, as recommended by the Presi-
dent, $50 as to insure honest government
at home and in our insular possessions"
10. Free ships or any other benefit to
our shipping.
These sins of omission make a formid-
able list for the returning representatives
TO account for in their settlement with
their constituents in November. When
to them is added the fact that this Con-
gress has beaten all records In extrava-
CANT appropriations approaching the bill
Hon-dollar mark in it's first session
there would seem to be abundant reason
why voters should take an unusual inter-
est in the coming elections.

HIGH-CLAss BOWLING.
CAROLS Defeat Y. M. C. A. Through
Sensational Work.

Hlgh-class bowling was the order of the
evening in last nights match between the
Carroll Institute and Young Mems Chris
tian Association teams. Both sides sailed
over the 800 mark with ease in two of the
games, and in the last the CAROLS went up
to 962, while the Association lads dropped
back to 795. There was nothing of the
"quitter' in the initial game, both sides
bowling like fiends. and the CAROLS finally
wor out by the score of SS1 to S27. Moth
ing daunted the Association boys kept per-
sistently at it and bowled excellently in
the second contest This time the CAROLS
had to do the trailing act, the Association
winning out by the score of SS4 to So. In
the third game the work Of the CAROLS
was Of such a sensational order that 1T
took all the wind out Of the Association
sails, hguratively speaking, the latter ap-
parently stopping to look When the
final ball had been sent down the alley 1t
was found that the Carols had placed 96o
pins to their credit. a score that has only
been beaten once before and that by the
same team.
Tommy Harlow was the bright particular
star of the evening, 30 pins in the third

FAST BASKET BALL.

Y M c. A.

The final scheduled contest between the
Corcoran Cadets, the leading aggregation
In the race for the championship OF the
District Basket Ball League. and the Y. M.
c. A. team was played last evening in the
National Guard Armory gymnasium before
a large gathering, the former five winning
out by - to 8.
1t was the fastest and most spirited con-
test Of the series which Is soon to end. The
game was full of pretty plays and some
scientific passing Of the leather was in
duiged In by both teams, the Y. NJ. c. A.
five showing superiority. The visitors Of
fensive work was weak against the home
team and only their alertness and clever
passing kept them from receiving a severe
drubbing at the hands of the cadets.
The cadets set a terrific pace In the first
half, which was followed by the visitors In
a way which showed that they were in the
game to stay. Before they could be
checked by the association team the cadets
had succeeded in swelling their score to
ten, while the visitors managed to score
only three points. Three baskets were all
that the champions could score In the sec
ond half The Y. NJ. c. AS were fortunate
in landing the leather in the basket twice
in the second half.

CHANGE IN GOLF RULES.
Radical Innovations in Amateur and
Women's CHAMPIONSHIPS.

Radical changes have been made by the
executive committee of the United States
Golf Association in the bylaws governing
the pairing on the amateur championship
and the number to qualify in both the anna
teur and womens championships.
Hereafter all medal play rounds in cham
pionships for men and women shall be
eighteen holes, and the first sixty-four will
qualify instead of the first thirty-two. as
formerly. This will reduce the first days
play to sortingout OF the best sixty -four,
who will meet In match play.
In the pairings for the preliminary rounds
at match play. player number one will be
paired with number thirty-three, player
number two with number thirty-four. and
so on. 1t will be impossible to ten under
this arrangement where any player outside
of the first four will land.
So far as the women are concerned the
benefit can readily be seen. At Philadelphia
in 1890. where seventyeight finished, there
were only three strokes between the six
teenth and the thirty-second to finish, and
at Baltusrol last year there were only five
strokes between the sixteenth and thirty
second.

Lawn Tennis Schedule DELAYED.

At a meeting Of the executive committee
of the United States National Lawn Tennis
Association. held In New York last evening,
it was expected that a schedule of the dates
for the tournaments the coming season
would be given out, but after the meeting
1t was announced that 1t would not be
made public until after another meeting to
be held next week.
DR.. James Dwight. president of the asse-
citation. said that 1t had been found unex-
pectedly difficult to arrange the tourna-
ment dates for the middle of the season
satisfactorily to several Of the clubs and
that no action would be taken until q more

members of the committee had been OBJ
tained. Besides DR.. Dwight, p. F. Pres
brey. secretary: r. ID. Little and w 7

state league. He started his professional
career as a ball tosser as pitcher for the
Lynchburg, Va. team, in 1896, playing the
following season with the Atlantic City
team and in 1898 as a member of the Du-
buaue Iowa team in the Western League.
Though one hears considerable complaint
along the American League line about the
increase of the admission fee the criticism
seems unjust. If the National League can
ask high prices for its games then the
American League Is justified in asking
three times as much. 1t does not do this
but is merely placing itself level with
the National, so far as prices con-
cerned. The American League VIII furnish
the first-class attra ctions this year. because
1t has the greater number of star players
