Asks Permission to Hold From

After Date of Evacuation.
UNITED STATES NOTIFIED.
Cars Government Gives Assur.
ances of Intention TO Carry
Ont General Withdrawal of
Forces From Manchuria.

Washington. Sept. Prussia has re-
quested permission Of China 10 postpone
her evacuation OF one Of the frontier
Provinces OF Manchuria for several
months after October s. the date for the
general evacuation Of Manchuria.
Minister Conger cables the State De
partment this fact. and the matter has
been referred to Secretary Hay at the
Sccretary's summer home in New Hamp-
shire for consideration.
The State Department apparently is not
concerned over Russia's request. as it is
pointed ont the Province is a small one
and the postpOnement asked is only for a
short time.
The Washington Government has re-
ceived satisfactory assurances from the
St. Petersburg authorities that the general
evacuation Of Manchuria will occur on
October s.
II. for some reasOns. purely local to the
Province in question. Russia should re-
quest permission to postpone the with
drawal of her troops from that particular
Province for several months. it is said to
be for China to say whether the request
shall be granted.
This req lest. in the opinion of State De
partment officials, does not indicate that
Russia intends to break her pledge to the
Powers.
Secretary Hay will prepare Instructions
for Mr.. Conger. upon receipt of which the
latter will advise the Pekin Government
of the attitude of the United States.

Washington. Sept. 12-smooth sailing

gress. which Will be in session at Og-
den. Utah. September 1913, is in dan
ger of interruption. The delegation OF
Government officials. representing the De-
partment of Agriculture. promises to be
responsible for the rough seas.
It was learned here to-day that the at

not prompted because OF unconditional in
dorsement Of the plans Of the congress-.
From a high official OF the Department
Of Agriculture, the information was had
| to-day that opposing recommendations
regarding irrigation legislation viii be
presented 10 the Fifty-eiGhth Congress.
Prominent officials are confident that the
attitude of the Irrigation Congress "a in
favor OF the large Iand-grabber, and. if
accepted by the United States Congress,
will result in the use of the Nations
money to enrich a comparatively few
greedy individuals. and not to the ben
eft of millions Of men, women and chill
dren.
FEAR DEFEAT OF PLANS.
While a number Of the Government Off
Gals have gone to Utah. ostensibly to
take part in the programme. and Will
make speeches indorsing the general
proposition of national irrigation. Eur
nishing the only outlet for the rapidly in
c~reasing population, the real reason for
this visit is to learn the full plans of
the Sreat land companies. which are sup
porting this congress.
Government officials want to discover
for themselves whether, under existing
statutes. such as the desert land law, the
timber and stone act and the commuta-
ton clause of the homestead act, it will
be safe to divUlge the plans for the Gov
eminent work.

ton will enable the land companies on the
scenes Of the Government labors to COB

are to be used in retaining.
The result of the land grabbing will he.

danger is that the only valuable lands for

prices as TO discourage small settlers or
they will 90 10 make huge ranches and
