THE TONTO DAn
Geological Survey Endorses Report
 and Application of the W. U. A.

The report of the Salt River Valley Water Users associati ton and it's ap- plication to the secretary of the inter- for for government construction of d storage reservoir has been approved by the geological survey and will be for Warded to the secretary of the inter- for with the favorable recommenda- ton of that bureau.
 That is the good news that came to t'ra board of governors of the Water Users association at their meeting yes terday afternoon. The Lews came in the form Of :; letter from President Fowler, reporting on the incidents of his own trip and enclosing d letter from MT. Newell to him acknowledging the receipt by the bureau of the report and application of the association through it's president.
 MT. Fowler said he did not think it necessary for himself CT anyone else to go to Washington at this time. He said the hydrogra phers of the bureau had irdorsed the report, which had been turned over to Arthur P. Davis for careful field investigation in the early fall. and that in the meantime orders are going out from Denver that mean the rapid pushing of the pro- ject. MT. Davis is probably better in formed on conditions here than any ether man in the world. and is so con- versant with the situation that he need not delay preliminary matters pending his field investigation. which will be- gin next month. Mir Fowler on invi- tion of MT. Davis and MT. Newell has gone to Wyoming in company with them to visit some of the proposed irri- gation projects in that state.
 MT. Newell's letter. enclosed was an informal acknowledgement for Director Walcott, who was travelling in the west, of the receipt of the associa ton $ report and application for government construction. A formal acknowledge ment will probably follow, signed by the director himself. in the due routine of bureau business. Mr. Newell. who is the chief hydrographer of the ser vice, says the report, maps. etc, are very complete and satisfactory and will be sent to the secretary of the in terlor with the favorable recommen- dalton and endorsement of the bureau. In the meantime, he says, engineering work will be rapidly pushed, circum- stance that indicates the confidence or

Presides at Their Mass Meeting and Is
 Colonel on Governors Staff

Augusta, Ga, Aug. 3.-Colonel D. R. Dyer of this city, who enjoys the dis tinction of being the only republican colonel on the staff of a southern gov ernor, now bears the added honor of having presided at a democratic mass meeting called for the purpose of doing away with the use of money in demo- cratic primaries. The democratic pri- mary is the real election, the legal cleo tion being only in the nature of a confirmation of the choice expressed at the primary.
 Colonel Dyer is a lifelong republican, having imbibed the principles of that party in the west. where he lived before moving here. He is foreman of the grand jury of Richmond county, which called attention to the wholesale use of money in electiors here. and was unanimously elected chairman of the mass meeting, which passed resolutions denouncing such practices and agree ing to withdraw support from any man attempting them.

THE CUBAN PENSION LIST
It Runs Far Beyond the Widest Cal.
 culations.

Havana, Aug. 3.-A list of the revOlu- tionary soldiers entitled to pay has been completed. In an interview Gen. GCmez, chairman of the committee stated that the list consists of about 50,000 soldiers, and does not include civil employees. He believes that the pending loan will not cover more than half the claims and he anticipates that the Cuban congress will have to make the balance of the payment in some form of due bills payable with interest after a considerable interval and prcb- ably discountable and transferable.
 General Gomez says that the rate of pay allowed to ordinary sldiers is s1 a day during the periods of his service. SerGeants and commissioned officers are separately computed, the amounts allowed ranging from few hundred dollars to s20.000, the latter sum being allowed to himself as commander-in- chief.
 The pay of major generals and colon els is fixed at s10.000 and upwards. The majority of the privates will receive in the vicinity of s9OO, indicating two and a half years service.

THE LATE KANSAS FLOOD
All Danger of a Second Deluxe Be.
 lieved To Be Past.

Kansas City, Mo-, July 3.-Kansas streams. raised by cloudbursts at two points and steady down pcurs in other parts of the state during the past forty eight hours. are tonight practically at a standstill, and no furher serious rise is expected. The biggest of these streams, the Kansas river, is rising slowly at Kansas City, and for short distance west of here, but at no place along it's length is the water near the danger line.
 At Kansas City the Kansas river has risen over three feet in the past twenty-four hours, and the Missouri IS up two feet but 1t must go several feet beyond this to do any material damage and as no further rains are reported from the west today, d grad ual fall is expected. There was some uneasiness at Argentine and Armour dale, suburbs of Kansas City that suf- fered so severely during the great flood but it was unwarranted. The only dam age likely at Kansas City is from driftwood to some of the temporary bridges erected here. The current is swift. ana men were out all day steer ing this drift clear of these structures

Victoria B. C., Aug. 3.-W. C. Deer ing of Chicago, who arrived from the orient by the steamer Tacoma, in an interview given to a local paper. says that although the people of the United States may not be aware of the fact, the insurgents in the Philippine islands are organizing and drilling and trouble there is far from over.
 He says the filibusters are coutinu- ally landing arms on the coasts and the patrol is locked upon as farce. Schooners laden with contra brand goods have no difficulty in running their cargoes.'
 He also says that there are many de- serters from the United States army and broken down British and other European soldiers are in the rebel ser vice. .

Before a Successor to
 Leo XIII is Chosen.
THIRD DAYS BALLOTlNG
At Sight Yesterday Evening of the Little Puff af Smoke the Assembled Thousands Cried in Impatienee and Derision.

Rome, Aug. 3-After three full days of delibera tion, during which six bal lots have been taken, members of the conclave still remain shut up in the vatican without having selected sue cessor to Leo XIII. The futility of both ballots taken today was evidenced by the smoke which arose from the Sistine chapel. This mute signal this evening was watched by another large crowd which partly filled the square of San Pietro and which, it was estimated. numbered about 15.000. Great disap- pointment was manifested, and when the little puff of smoke appeared there were loud cries, not only of disappolnt- ment but even of derision.
 Rome is becoming extremely impa- tient over the delay in the selection of the new pope, concerning which there appears to be no definite explanation, owing to the rigid secrecy with which proceedings within the conclave are be- ing guarded.
 Today practically the only news that came from the Sistine chapel was that of the extremely grave illness of Car dinal HerTero. It is presumed. how ever that the other. aged cardinals. are also suffering from their prolonged in- carceration and the intense heat.
 Among the ambassadors and eccle- siastics there exists an opinion that If only for sake of relieving the aged cardinals, much may be sacrificed with in the conclave to arrive at a. speedy conclusion.
 On the other hand there are a few pessimistic enough to believe that the hostility among the nations in the sa- cred college is so bitter that the srug- gle may be continued for several weeks

To Investigate the Alleged Violation ofthe Law by Congressman Littauer Papers Made Public.

 There is a statute which prohibits contracts for the government being made directly or indirectly with a member of congress and this was the basis of the investigation by the wal department.

Out of all the rumors and gossip concerning what is transpiring in the conclave the most persistent report is to the effect that the Rampolla and VannutelIi factions have remained compact and that the attempt of a fac tion to press forward new candidate in the hope of breaking the strength of others had failed. The Calia says that matters have reached d point which preseges the possibility of the election of foreign pope and that Cardinal kopp, bishop of Breslau, who is most frequently mentioned in this connection, has the support of the Ger man emperor.

 It is not considered probable that MT. Brown is attempting to run corner in deferred options. The impression prevails that. on account of weather conditions, a short bull campaign is being planned in the summer deliveries and traders expect the market to be very active during August.
