King Edwards Message.

ST. Petersburg, May 17.-Sir Charles
Hardinge, the new British ambassador
to Russia, arrived in st. Petersburg
yesterday. Because of the part the
ambassador is expected to play in car,
rying out King Edwards desire for
closer relations between Great Britain
and Russia, more than usual interest
in his arrival was displayed in official
and unofficial circles.
The authorities here attach consid-
cradle importance to the prospective
declaration. Owing to the ambassa
doris relations with King Edward, it
will be regarded as being as much an
expression of the views of the King
as of the British government. On his
part, Emperor Nicholas will make a
response which will be no less cordial
than the utterance OF the British am.
bassador.
In official and diplomatic circles 1t
Is generally known that the establish.
ment of better relation between Rus.
STA and Great Britain is the object
of Sir Charles Hardinge's mission. Tho
specific purposes, however, are still
yelled. despite the discreet inquiries
made by foreign diplomats of their
British colleagues here.

Wood Chasing the Moros.

Washington, May 1.-THE Moros
who attacked the American troops
May 9th and killed two officers and a
number of men. may be severely pun
ished by Major General Leonard Wood
who is marching on the band with a
force of $50. Major Ainsworth. mill
tary secretary to-day received cable
gram from General Wade. command
ing in the Philippines. in reply to a
message asking particulars concerning
the movement against the Moros in
Mindanao. General Wade's message
is as follows:
Major General Wood with $50 Off
GERS and men is en- route to recover
the bodies of our killed. Two of the
number who were previously reported
killed have come in. 1t is learned that
four men who were reported killed are
alive.
There is no trouble outside of Ais
band Piang is friendly to the United
States. Everything quiet in Cottoba-
to valley. People are planting crops
and anxious to have Ais band taken.
and are furnishing assistance freely
and willingly. Ais outfit is in the
district east of Lake Lignasan, which
is swampy and almost uninhabitable.
Word from the expedition is not to
be expected for several days. 1t will
take the command six days hard
marching to reach the place where the
engagement of May Sth occurred"
Officials of the War Department hes
itate to express any opinion about the
movement of General Woods column,
but it is evident that the Moros will
be unable to resist such force Some
of those who are informed concern
ing the attitude of the Moros believe
they will attempt to prevent the ad-
vance of the American soldiers. in
which case there probably will be a
decisive encounter.

SUPREME COURT
DECISION IN FELLOW SERVANT
CASE.
Railroad Company Not Liable to Fire
man for Negligence Of Tele-
graph Operator.


Washington, May 1.-THE supreme
court of the United States yesterday
laid down the principle that a tele-
graph operator for a railroad company
and fireman on railroad engine are
fellow servants" and that the negli-
gence Of the former causing the death
of the latter in the operation of trains
was a risk the fireman assumed and
was not a ground for damages against
the railroad company.
The case was that of Alline A,
Dixon against the Northern Pacific
railroad for damages for the death Of
her husband. c. A. Dixon, fireman on
the road, killed in collision caused
by the negligence of a telegraph OPP.

operations in such sense that the mas

neous order of the dispatcher that was

The answer to the question is:
THE telegraph operator was, under,
the circumstances described, a fellow

Second, is the negligence Of local.

representatives or is 1t the negligence
of fellow servant of the fireman the
risk of which the latter assumes?"
Answer-"The negligence of the op-
orator was the negligence of fellow
servant of the fireman. the risk of
which the latter assumed"
A dissenting opinion was delivered
by Justice White and concurred in by
the Chief Justice and Justices Harlan
and McKenna. In this dissenting opin-
ion the view was expressed that the
operator was the agent of the en-
ployer, and as such his negligence rem
dered the employer liable for damage
or death caused thereby.
The opinion was further expressed
that the courts decision would create
much confusion.

Irrigation Fund.

Apropos of the formal approval by
the Secretary of the Interior of new
irrigation projects under the reclama-
tion law in California, Oregon and the
Dakotas, the Interior Department to-
day issued a statement covering the
disposition of the reclamation fund,
which is in part as follows: =
These approvals mark practically
the close of the preliminary or tenta-
tive stage of reclamation work. The
projects in each state and territory are
now well outlined and provisions made
for all of the available funds.
During the two years which have
nearly elapsed since the passage of the
reclamation law, efforts have been
concentrated on general examinations
and comparison of the merits of vari-
GUS projects; these have now been Sc
lected and approved, contingent upon
securing the water rights and lands at
reasonable cost, and perfecting all de-
tails partly completed. The situation
in each state and territory is as fol-
lows:
"Arizona-Salt river project, under
consideration at estimated cost Of
about $3,000,000.
"California-Yuma project, approved
construction by secretary at cost of
about s3,000000.
Observation-Disclosures project. in
volving an expenditure of s2,5OO,OOO.
"1daho-Minidoka project for which
about $2,600,000 has been Professionally
allotted.
"Montana-Millt river project-gen-
eral allotment of $1,50O,O00.
"Nevada-Truckee Carson project,
under construction at cost of about
$3,OOO,OOO.
New Mexico-Hondo project. at a
cost of approximately $350,000.
North Dakota-Fort Buford project,
taking water from Yellowstone river,
in Montana, at a cost of about $4,000
900.
"utah-Conservatio of water in
Utah lake at cost of about 81 100000.
shington-Reclamatio of land
near Pasco at cost of $1,500,000.
"Wyoming-The storage and diveIe
sion of Shoshone river, near Cody, f0r
which $2,250,000 has been set aside.
In ALL the projects outlined will
cost $27,250.000, and will require for
construction two or three years; they
will reclaim, in round numbers, 1,0OO,-
900 acres of land. all of which will be
susceptible of intense cultivation, and
should be capable of supporting pop
ulation of 100000 or more persons. The
money expended in constructing these
works is derived from the disposal Of
the public lands. The expenditures are
to be returned by installments to the
reclamation fund, and be used over
again in building other works, many of
which are now under preliminary ex-
animation, data being acquired so that
the work can proceed as rapidly as the
money becomes available"
