MINISTRY SAFE.
A Test Vote Shows a Slight Loss in
French Chamber.

Paris. March 19-The vote in the
chamber of deputies yesterday gives
definite form to the present policy of
the government to terminate the exist
ence of the religious teaching orders and
10 substitute a system of governmental
schools. The principle of this change
was formulated under the premiership
of NJ Waldeck- Rosseau. but it's actual
enforcement was left 10 the present
Comics MINISTRY. The law voted yes
terday is very brief and negative in its
terms, simply refusing authorization to
teach to all The male religious Ieachlng
orders.
The effect of this is to place the or
ders outside the pale of the law and
their further existence is through suf-
ferance. There remains TO be determin-
ed the time the orders viii be allowed
TO wind 40 their affairs and terminate
their work Many of the orders 2nuci-
pating the chamber vote of yesterday
have already completed their plans to
retire from the field. 1t is expected that
a few months viii almost suffice to exc
cute the charges. Numerous Incidental
questions are involved in the transfer of
pupils and the effect on the extensive
properties and notices Of several inter
pellations are given with the view Of
securing delay permitting an adjust
ment of the new conditions. The state
ment of NJ Combes ana other minister
lalsts however indicate the prompt car
Iying out of the premier's policy
An analysis of the vote shows that
the ministry retained an ample major
ity for all practical purposes. although
there was some falling off from the us
ual ministerial strength, 25 ministerial
fists separating themselves from the ma
i0rity and four others not voting. On
the other hand the ministerial strength
was augmented by scattering votes
from the Nationalist while practically
the fun strength of the socialists. radi-
Gals and union Democrats. supported the
ministry. The vote shows that not
withstanding all defections the ministry
commands more than sufficient strength
20 put its policy in execution.

Sends the Following Grand Testimonial to
the Merits of Cuticura Remedies in the
Treatment of Humours of the
Blood, Skin and Scalp.

81 wish to give my testimony to
the efficiency of the Cuticura Rene
dies in what seems to me two some
what remarkable cases. I had
number of skin tumours - small
ones on my arms which had never
given me serious trouble; but about
two years ago one came on my
throat. At first it was only about as
large as a pinhead, but, as il was in
= position where my collar, if not
just right, would irritate it, it soon
became very sensitive and began to
grow rapidly. Last spring it was
as large, if not larger. than a bean.
A little unusual irritation of my
collar started it to swelling, and in
q day or two it was as large as
half an orange. I was very much
alarmed, and was at a loss to de-
termine whether it was a carbuncle
or q malignant tumour.

ROOSEVELT IN NO HURRY.
Will Not Appoint Canal Commission
for Some Time

Washington, March 19-Ratifcation of
the Panama canal treaty by the senate has
increased materially the pressure on the
president for appointment on the coTnmis-
sion which is to supervise the construc-
ton of the waterway. Several senators
had interviews today with the president
regarding the personnel of the commission.
1t is understood the president will be in no
haste to announce names of the commits
sion and it is quite likely that no alb
solute decision will be reached respecting
it's personnel until the treaty shall have
been ratified by the Colombia congress,
which will not convene for several weeks.

Senator Dangberg Visits the Canal
The Wadsworth Dispatch says:

The Wadsworth Dispatch says:
H. F. Dangberg Of Carson Valley,
and one of the largest landowners in
Nevada, in company with Dispatch
reporter visited the camps of f. B. q
A. l.. Stone Co, on the site of the big
government canal.
Mr.. Dangberg has many miles OF II
rigation bitches to care for and will
soon construct forty miles more, and
wanted to see the modus operandi at
the big plant here. His proposed
bitches will not be SO large rs the one
under construction here but the prin-
ciple is the same.
The Stone Company now has two
camps, one at each steam shovel
They have dug about 1000 yards of
canal, and have about fifty horses and
one hundred men at work.
The force and equipments of John
W. Beasley, subeontractor under the
Stone Company, left for the scene of
their operations yesterday morning.
There were about fifty horses and
fifteen men. There will be another
steam shovel and another crew of men
added to the Stone outfit in a few
weeks.
The steam shovel digs the ditch al
the required depth, but Of greater
width and with perpendicular walls
Doubtless almost the entire length OF
the canal will be 'hand trimmed, and
that will require many laborers. The
estimate is that at times the Stone
Company will have nearly two thous-
and men at work.
Mr.. Dangberg is granted to be one
of the best judges of land in the State.
He examined the soil where the
steam shovels are at work, and said it
could not be beat for strength and
productiveness anywhere, and would
never wear out.

There is no Water.
QUELQUEFoIs

1t is stated that j. NJ. Douglass of
Virginia City will shortly bring suit
against the Carson Valley ranchers to
enjoin them from further diversion of
the water in the Carson river. The
Douglas and Brunswick mills and the
Como electric plant are idle on 1.-THE ae-
count of the lack of water.
The Virginia Chronicle says 1.-The
Carson river as it flows through the
valley is splendid stream and 'there
is willful and criminal waste of water
by the ranehers."
The Chronicle is not well informed
as to the amount of water in the river
Usually there is fair stream of water
in October, but this year the river is
nearly dry. There has been no storm
of any consequence on the Carson
river for seven months. No wonder
water is scarce! The farmers ceased
irrigating long ago, but Gardnerville
hasn't stream of water for fire pro-
lection half the time, and some of the
bitches belonging to the big farmers
run through the town. The farmers
must have water for stock and domes-
tic purposes, but the statement that a
large volume of water is used by the
Dangbergs at this time to kill sage
brush is untrue. The water is SO used
in the winter and spring, and these
sagebrush lands are fenced and pro-
duce large amount of fall feed. The
Dangbergs now have thousands of head
of cattle running in these fields, and
some water must be turned in for
them to drink. Stagnant water is not
good for stock, consequently a stream
of running water is necessary. This
cannot always be gagged exactly to
the requirements of the animals, nor
can slight waste be prevented, as the
water flows through many miles of
bitches. This waste naturally aecumu-
lates above the Dangberg levees, but
there is no water to speak of above the
leyees at present, nor has there been
at any time this fall.
The truth of the matter is, there is
very little water in the Carson river,
probably owing to the lack of storm
during the spring and summer. The
farmers are using the water only for
stock and domestic purposes, and they
are legally entitled to all the water
they need for such purposes at all sea-
sons of the year.

The First Settler.

The first settler has made his appear
ance on the land set aside in Nevada
by Uncle Sam to come under the nation
al irrigation scheme. He has chosen
for his farm-to-be a piece between
Wadsworth and the canal site. W. II.
Pierson says he believes it will be No. |
land for alfalfa.
The first settlers name is Robert
Graham; he halls from Duluth, Mimi,
and he has come to stay. He brought
with him a wife, a young daughter, and
mother. He has a span of horses,
has lumber here ready to haul and in
sufficient quantity to build rather a
pretentious house.
Among the first purchases made by
him was ton and a half of hay from
a raneher. Other supplies have been
bought from local merchants. Every
settler coming in will have to buy hay,
grain and vegetables and supplies from
the merchants.
What can the man do who settles on
this land now? He can file under the
homestead law on 100 acres, but the
filing is subject to the ruling of the
Interior Department and it is likely he
will be allowed only so acres.
He can put his house on the land he
files upon. If he has horses he can
have work for himself and his horses
from the contractors who are building
the big canal. Ifhe is steady, he car
have steady work, and when the canal
is completed he can have enough
money to clear his land of sagebrush
fence it and plant part of it.
Mr.. Graham, being forehanded and
having faith in Nevada's irrigation
scheme, intends to have the land ready
for irrigation with the first water that
flows through the great canal, and hay
