Especial Correspondence to the HERALD
WASHINGTON, d. c., May

A Washington Photographer has
the following to say about the
merger question:: "A Minneapolis
man has grated tomato vine on a
potato tuber and is making the plant
work both ways. The attention OF
the attorney general should be
called to this violation of the anti
merger principle.
Representative Tawney of the
first district, in answer to an inter,
rogation of your correspondent as
to. whom he though the democrats
would choose for their candidate In
the fall of 1904, replied: "My guess
is that the democrats will name the
senator from Maryland. Mr.. Cor
man, in addition to being clever
statesman, occupies place of want
age. He did not support Mr.. Bry-
an with any such alacrity or excess
of zeal as to warrant his eastern
friends in considering him unsound
on finance, nor, on the other hand,
did he, like Achilles of old, sulk in
his tent while the battle was raging.
His action thus kept him in good
standing with the rank and file OF
the party, and no man can challenge
his record for regularity Of
course he will be beaten if nomi-
mated, inst as any other democratic
candidate would, but on the whole
he is the most available man the
party could put forward" Mr..
Gorman's nomination by the demo-
cratic party would be a bitter pill
for the New York democrats to
swallow, and as the New York dele
CATION will cut some ice in the con-
vention, Mr.. Germans chances of
being nominated are not so roseate
as they appear apparently to Mr..
Tawney.
Sculptor Trentanove's bronze bust
of the late Senator Cushman K.
Davis arrived in Washington last
week from Italy. Signor Trenta-
move is now on his way to this
cor~+~v, end will be in the city in a
few days to be present at the unveil
ing of the work, which will be
placed over the grave of Senator
Davis in Arlington. The bust. is of
bronze and will rest on base of
brown Italian marble. In the ped
estal are chiseled in relief on the
four sides the words, "Soldier,"
"Scholar," Statesman" and
"Friend." On one side half way
down is the inscription: Senator
Cushman Kellogg Davis, June 16,
ls3e-November p, 1900.
The geological survey has begun
some very important work in Min
nesota. The water resources of the
state, and especially the artesian
and other underground supplies
have been under investigation for
some time by Prof. G. w. Hall of
the University of Minnesota, whose
services have been engaged by the
government for this work. Prof.
Halls report which he is now pre-
pairing will be published by the sur
vey when completed, and will be
distributed free to those interested
in the water resources Of Minneso-
ia. The report will describe the
water resources of the state, in
Guiding lakes, streams, springs,
shallow and deep wells, etc. Be-
sides describing the wells the re-
port will consider the chemical and
sanitary properties of the water, it's
present and prospective use, the
amount and stability of the flow,
and the future prospects, both in de-
veloped and untried areas. The re-
port will also be accompanied by a
blief description of the geology of
the state so far as it effects artesian
supplies, and will be illustrated by
a number of maps and figures.
