Days Work of the Senate.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April A. =
Though the postoffice appropriation bill
was before the senate almost the en-
tire day, the early debate was in re-
latiOn to general land laws Mr.. Glib
son, Of Montana, denied that the ad-
vocates of the bill for the repeal of
the desert land act and the commuta-
ton clause of the homestead act were
proceeding at the instigatiOn and in
the interest of land grant railroads.
Mr.. Gibson, aided by Mr.. Quarles, of
Wisconsin, made light of the charge
that a lobby was maintained in Wash
ington to fight for the passage of this
bill. Messrs. Hansbrough, of North
Dakota, and Warren, of Wyoming, took
the other side Of the question.
Mr.. Hansbrough mentioned by name
George H. Maxwell, who, he said, was
drawing a princely salary for the work
he did.
Considerable progress was made with
the postoffice appropriation bill.
Amendments were agreed to providing
for the transfer of the free delivery
service from the office of the fourth
assistant postmaster general to the
office of the first assistant postmaster
general, and eliminating the restric-
tions placed on first and second class
postmasters in regard to telephone
service.

Irrigation Bulletin.

Washington. June l5.-The office

of preparing land for irrigation and

In this bulletin the methods of get

cost of bringing wild land under cul-
tivation and methods best suited to
different soils, climates and crops.
The facts included in this bulletin
have been gathered by the irrigation
investigators OF this office acting in
cooperation with the state expert
ment stations and the state engi-
neer's offices.
The bulletin brings out the fact,
not we'll understood, that the cost of
preparing the land for irrigation is in
many cases greater than the cost of
building canals and reservoirs.
Detailed figures of the cost and
checking land show that it varies in
certain districts in California from
50. SO to SlS.0S per acre. This is more
than the cost of the canal system in
the San joaquin valley, California.

between Russia and Great Britain has
been averted and the settlement of the
only points in dispute regarding the
attack by the Russian second Pacific

tion.
Premier Balfour, speaking at meet
ing of the National Union Conserva-
tive clubs at Southampton Friday
night, broke that silence which had
been so long preserved and had
brought the people Of the United
Kingdom to condition of almost des-

conceptions which Mr.. Balfour Friday
night himself exposed. 1.-THE Russian
ambassador" said Mr.. Balfour, has
authorized statement to the follow
ing effect: The Russian government
on hearing of the North Sea incident,
at once expressed it's profound regret
and also promised most liberal COM
pensatlon. The government has or
dered the detention at Vigo of that
part of the feet which was concerned
authorities might ascertain what Off
GERS and any material witnesses would
not proceed on the voyage to the far
east; that inquiry would be instituted
into the facts by an international COM
mission as provided by The Hague
convention. That, Mr.. Balfour inter-
polated, had nothing to do with arbi-
tration; 1t was the constitution of an
international commission in order to
find out the facts and any person
found guilty would be tried and pun
ished adequately. The Russian gov
ernment undertook that precautions
would be taken to guard against re-
currence of such incidents. Special

The note not only contemplates the

Of neutrals; the inviolability Of private
property in naval warfare. and the
bombardment of ports, towns and vii
lagos by naval force. The other
matters mentioned in the final act
take the form Of suggestions for con-
sideration by interested governments.
The three points mentioned cover a
large field. The first. especially, touch
ing the rights and duties of neutrals,
is of universal importance. It's right
ful disposition affects the interests
and well being of all the world. The
