the fire that destroyed the Clifton hotel
at Cedar Rapids at 2 o'clock this morn
ing. There were 12O guests in the hotel
when the fire broke out and most of
the dead are buried in the debris. Ow-

flames We're discovered by a bell boy
and had already gained considerable
headway. By the time work of sound
ing the alarm had begun, escape was
was stated that there must be Is or 20
dead bodies in the debris, as a large
number of persons had been seen to fall
back from windows into the flames
The proprietors of the hotel also esti-
mated that there must be close to this
number unaccounted for. The work of
identification of the missing was, how
ever, necessarily difficult
AT 10 O'Clock all but 10 of the mis-
sing had been accounted for These
are supposed to lie in the debris al
though it is possible they may be loca-
ted among the rescued. The ruins are
still burning and it is impossible to
search for the bodies.
The bodies of w. A. Mowry and an
unknown woman were taken from the
'uns shortly after II o'clock. The
bodies We're frightfully charred Scar
hers are now at work.
Three more bodies were removed from
he ruins shortly before o'clock, Their
was such as to preclude iden-
lhcation. Three or four of the injured
ire believed to be dying.

OFFICIAL MATTERS
IRRIGATION COMMISSION.

The irrigation commission met yester-
day afternoon and was in session until
late last night at the office of the secre-
tary, Col. George w. Knaetel. There
is difference of opinion among the
members as to whether the lands under
the control of the commission should be
leased or sold. Some members favor sell
ling the lands outright, while others be-
lleve they should be leased so as to form
fund for the building of reservoirs.
they contend that by leasing the lands
permanent fund will be provided and
that sites for reservoirs will be retained.
There is another difference of opinion
In regard to the bill now pending IN the
Council for the appointment of terri
torial engineer 1t is asserted that the
irrigation commission has full and am
pie powers to employ an engineer, to Sc
cure all the data, and do all the work
that is authorized in the bill introduced;
but that, should the bill be passed, it
will give to one engineer the arbitrary
power to fix water rights and he will not
be subject to any board or revising body.
1t is contended by some of the members
OF the commission that this should not
be done, but that the commission should
employ the engineer in order that he
might be subject to board and that
the commission should take action on
the data that he secures. No decision
was reached, and the commission ad-
journed to meet again at two o'clock
this afternoon. A number of members
of the Council committee on irrigation
met with the commission.

NEEDS OF THE NEW
MEXICO COLLEGE
OF AGRICULTURE
AND MECHANIC ARTS
Dormitory Class Room Building and ArmoryThe College
Doing Splendid Work.-ts Scope Not Local.

The annual report of the New Mexico
College of Agriculture and Mechanic
Arts for the year ending November 80,
1902, is now being published and will be
distributed throughout the territory
within a few days. The report COM
prises the report of the Board of Re-
gents to the Governor, the report of the
President to the Board of Regents, and
reports from the different departments
Of the institution to the President of
the College. Much the most interest
ing feature of the publication is the re-
port of President Foster concerning the
present condition of the institution, its
needs, and the work of the past year.
The presidents report is Of unusual
interest. 1t shows condition of things
at the college at Mesilla Park that is
not generally known and understood
throughout the territory. 1t refers in
detail to the strengthening of the
courses Of study, the addition of spec
ial courses in the institution, in domes
tic science and the equipment of new
for instruction in sewing,
which course is very popular one with
the young ladies of the college. Ref
erence is made to the recent successful
of the numerous requests |
which have been made to the govern
ment for United States army officer
to take charge of military instruction
at the college. This military instruc-
ton is required by the act creating
agricultural colleges and from the re-
port 1t appears that the military de- i
partment Of the college is noMjn ssuc-
cessful operation. Most OF the depart
nents of the institution have received
material additions to their
equipment for the past year.
An interesting feature of the report
s the demand for the graduates Of the
President Foster calls at
ention to the fact that the two grad
late students receiving the degree of
Master of Science last year now hold
positions with the United States gov

ton and Senator Hoar said the caucus
discussions We're not for the newspa-
pers. Senator Burton referred only
briefly to the caucus, then made an ar
gument Of an hour and half's dura-
ton in favor of the admission of the
three proposed states. Mr.. Burton was
generally congratulated upon the con-
clusion Of his remarks. Mr.. Dubois of
Idaho, followed with a speech in criti-
cism of the treaty and Of what he
characterized as the summary action Of
the Republican caucus. The most in
teresting event Of the day transpired
before the beginning Of the routine pro-
ceedings, when Senator Quay rose to a
question of personal privilege. He sent
from a New York paper of this morning
accusing him of violating pledge
which the paper stated, he had made
in the Republican caucus Wednesday to
support the treaty to the exclusion of
every other subject.
He said that such was not the case,
but that on the contrary, he had pro-
tested to the last in the caucus Of any
action looking to the displacement Of
the statehood bill. He called upon 9TH
err senator's to testify to this effect and
several did so among them Senator
Foraker, who said that he was quite
sure that Senator Quay had made no
such pledge. Senator Lodge stated that
he had not heard him make any re-
mark. Senator Nelson expressed the
opinion that pledge was at least i'm
Piled. Senator Hoard thought that the
of the caucus should not
be revealed, not even in an executive
session of the senate. Senator Burton
expressed the opinion that there should
be committee on publication, and
having taken the floor for that pur-
pose, went on with his statehood
speech.

THE SENATE.
Washington, Feb. 20.-When the sem
ate met at II a. m. today 1t was still
the legislative day of yesterday, a re-
cess having been taken last night until
this morning. The proceedings were
still behind closed doors. The Panama
canal treaty was Immediately laid be-
fore the senate. Senator Morgan yield
ed the floor to Senator Burton, Repub-
lican, and advocate Of the omnibus
statehood bill. He spoke especially Of
the Importance of the passage Of that
measure, only indirectly referring to
the treaty. His contention was that
while the canal treaty might be a mer-
itorious measure, the statehood bill was
equally SO and that 1t should be voted
upon.
Senator Burton's speech was drawn
out BY some criticisms Of the decisions
OF the Republican caucus. Senator
Quay made complaint Of the publica-
