The Alarming Drop In Price of
Consols Giving Bankers
Much Concern
GOVERNMENT MAY GIVE AID
If the Price Goes Much Lower Every
Bank in the Kingdom will Have to
Be Reorsanized With It's Reserve
on a New Basis-situation Consider
ed Very Bad.

London, March 25.-The chief fea-
ture of transactions on the stock ex-
change today was the continued sell
ing of consols, which showed a further
sharp fall. During the morning consols
fell to 80 and even shade below that
figure.
The possibility of consols being in the
eighties has created CONSERVATION, not
only among spectators and investors
but in great banking interests who for
years have written down their consol
holdings at so. tho the market price
was considerably above par, 80 being
considered the lowest possible price
the security was likely to go to. Should
consols go down to and remain be-
low go. every British bank will be
obliged to re-organize its reserve and
get out new balances upon a fresh
basis. Such serious contingency,
however, is scarcely believed to be pos
sible. The report is current that the
government may step in as buyer of
its own securities. which would inn
mediately restore national credit.

believe that the agricultural depart
ment of the college should be given
precedence over all others. Professor
Curtiss represents the agricultural in
terests. He has been conspicuous
among the farmers and at their meet
ings and they are delighted with him.
But there is very much doubt whether,
under all the circumstances, Curtiss
would now accept the position II ten
dered him and certain it is that If
either Stanton or Curtiss is elected by
a bare majority he will decline.
The opposition to the selection OF
any member of the college faculty for
president is also quite strong. One who
has been considered in connection with
the place himself, said the other day.
II believe that there will always be
trouble where a president is selected
from the faculty of a college. 1t is
impossible to do that without causing
hard feelings. My idea of college
president is to get a man who will go
out and do the jollying up and the
talking and the advertising. He should
not be an autocrat. The modern idea
of college president who is the whole
thing is one that would not work at
the state college. The institution is
and always has been democratic in its
tendencies. 1t would not do for some
new president to undertake to run the
college as some of the great universi-
Ties are run, by a president who does
not feel it necessary to consult any
member of the faculty about anything
save in his special department. For
that reason some outsider who will not
assume too much would make the
greatest success

swEDEs FEEL HURT.
Charge That the country's Name Has
Been Smirched.

Been Smirched.
Stockholm. March 25.-Three hours
of Saturdays session of the reichstag
were devoted to a heated controversy
concerning the reports of the famine
in Norrland which have appeared in
American papers. Certain members
assert that the reports have been ex-
aggerated and that the central famine
committee had besmirched the name of
Sweden by engaging in the campaign
of mendicancy. This elicited vigorous
contradiction from members who had
taken pains to fully inform themselves.
The debate leaves the situation in the
Norrland as serious as before. A large
and sustained flow of relief is demand
ed. There are now among the famine
sufferers conscientious observers both
from the United States and Europe.
The more thorough their Investigations
the more firm is their conviction that
the situation is desperate.
In Finland, the ravages OF the famine
have moved even the czar's bureacrats
who have influenced his Imperial maj
esty to institute relief measures on a
scale greater than ever before Witness
ed in any Russian dependency.
Sweden's central famine committee
aismisses the censure of the hostile sec
ton of parliament with scant courtesy
and reaffirms it's determination TO de-
fend and aid the famine victims by ev-
cry means in its power. Ihe OPINION
that Sweden has been disgraced by the
committees appeal to the world in the
name of humanity is denounced as
worse than silly.

BIG IRRIGATION PROJECT.
An Immense Area Can sc Supplied in
Montana.


Washington, March 325.-The facts
regarding the great Milk river irrrfga-
ton project In Montana have just been
made public. This is said to be the
most important of all irrigation
schemes thus far decided upon. It pro-
v;des for diverting the greater portion
OF st. Mary's river, which rises In the
Rocky mountains in Montana ana
flows thru Canada to Hudson bay, from
its natural channel, and by means or
canal, to empty 1t into MIX river a
tributary of the Missouri, 80 that tts
waters will eventually find their way
into the Gulf Of Mexico.
To accomplish this it will be neces=
sary to construct a dam fifty feet In
height across st. Mary's river, thus
forming reservoir, for which st. Ma
rvs Lake will be the basis. This IS
twenty-five miles in length and has s
capacity OF 250,000 acre-eeet OF water;
that is. sufficient to cover 250,00O acres
to a depth OF one foot
A canal twenty miles long viii
connect the reservoir with the north
fork of Milk river, and the water thus
obtained will, it is estimated. prove
sufficient to irrigate 100000 acres OF
land along the Milk river between
Havre and Glasgow. Mont.
It is not expected to divert the entire
flow OF the st. Mary's river, as there
are some irrigation canals on the Can
adian side OF the border whose rights
must be respected. For 100 miles the
north fork Of the Milk river flows thru
Canadian territory. but only at one
place would 1t be possible for the CaAs
adams to tap 1t, and If this II dome
will become necessary later on to buil4
a longer canal by which the st. MafyA
win be diverted to Marais river. another
tributary of the Milk river wholly -
American territory.
