NEW TURN IN CASE.
PresenterS of Talbot Charges Say They
Signed Under Misrepresentation.

New York, Dec. 3O.-Churchrnen in
terested in the charges presented
against Bishop Talbot have been
wrought up over dispatches from
senters living there whose names We're
affixed to the charges have repudiated
their signatures.
A conference was called and the
new aspect of affairs was discussed.
DR.. Irvine was called up over the long
distance telephone and the conversa-
ton which ensued is said to have been
quite exciting. Herbert Noble, prin-
cipaI counsel for the presenters, said:
"I can not understand what has
prompted the action. 1 am certain
that the presenters knew what they
were signing and they attached their
block the inquiry. If it causes delay
it will be short.
philadelphia, Dec. 30.-Dispatches
from Huntingdon, Pa, state that some
of the Huntingdon signers to the pre-
sentiment have repudiated the present.
ment, and say that it was never their
intention to sign paper of the char
acter that has appeared in the press.
If this be true the proceedings must
be dropped as a presentment of the
charge made against the bishop must
contain names of at least three per-
sons from the diocese from which the
accused bishop lives.
1t is said the paper was signed by
the HuntOngdon men under a miSap-
prehension, they believing that they
were assisting in closing a long con-
troversy and not one in which their
bishop was to be brought to trial.
When J. Frederick Jenkinson was
told of the information received from
Huntingdon he said the names of the
Huntingdon men were signed at the
end of the original presentment- The
names of the Philadelphia signers, he
said, were on the same sheet upon
which the names of the Huntingdon
presenters appeared. He added that
he has q personal letter from one of
the signers in which he says he was
pleased to attach his name to the
document. Those who are reported to
have denied signing the presentment
are John Langdon and A. T. Jackson.
The other Huntingdon signers declined
to express themselves, it is said.

FROM ONE WELL, 400 ACRES.
Garden City Man Plans a Marvel I'm
Irrigation.

Garden City, Dec. so.-The district
irrigation convention for southwest
Kansas met at Carden City on Tues
day. Owing to t'F blizzard on Monday,
the first days altc1dance was small,
but since has had a good attendance
and much interest and enthusiasm In
the proceedings. About 25 delegates,
from counties as far east as Kingman.
! to state line, and something like 100
others from surrounding counties.
Judge Henry Mason made an address
on the Kansas and Colorado suit, Civ
ing the status of it and its effect, If de-
cided in favor of Kansas. Quite q diff
ference of views were expressed as to
whether 1t would help Kansas, even If
dcided in its favor, es there are other
issues involved which a supreme court
decision might affect the state, to it's
injury.
Mr.. Lyon from Rocky Ford Colo,
spoke of good effects of irrigation on
Colorado and the consequent beneficial
effects In raising sugar beets and
melons.
Mr.. Wolf of the United States agri-
cultural department, gave an interest
ing talk on his experiments with the
eral other addresses were made and
papers read on different phases of irri-
cation, and the benefits from it.
Resolutions were adopted, recon-
prosecution of the Kansas-Colorado
suit to a final decision; for a further
appropriation for sugar bounty, and
the employment of additional attor-
ney from extreme western part of state
to assist in prosecution of the state suit.
Yesterday afternoon about 100 in car
riages went to Sherlock, six miles west,
to Mr.. Holcomb's farm to witness the
working of his underfiow pump. It is
not entirely finished, but the well is $50
by so feet, all planked at sides and hot
tom, and has casing sunk about every
10 feet for supply water. 1t will have
a rs horse power engine and will cost
81, 900 and will irrigate a large body of
land Mr.. Ho1comb intends when his
well is completed, to divide his 400 acre
farm into tracts of 10 and 20 acres for
the production of sugar beets. The
factory at Rocky Ford agrees to fur
ish persons to plant. thin and tend
the beets and gather them, mostly
Mexieans and their families, who will
move into the nefghborhood and tent
during the season, will be of great help,
as this want of help has been the great
drawback in cultivation of beets, as
few Americans have patience to tend
them.

JAPS PUZZLE RUSSIA
Fleet Has Not Appeared Before Port
Arthur Since Sunday.

st. Petersburg, March 3.-Viceroy
Alexieff sends the following dispatch to
the car:
Admiral Stark, telegraphing from
Port Arthur yesterday, says the enemy
did not appear off Port Arthur either
Feb. %, Feb. 29 or March 1.
Reconnaissance made by cruisers
and torpedo boats failed to discover
the enemy's vessels within a radius OF
sixty miles,
Since the disappearance of the Jap-
anese feet from before Port Arthur,
the Russian authorities have been
awaiting anxiously for the next move
of the Japanese on sea. There is an
inclination here to believe that the
Japanese have been discouraged by
the failure of their attacks and per-
haps by losses they have not an.
nounced.
The plan for checking the Japanese
land advance is perfected and
heavy reserves are being brought up
to the Yalu river.
Every energy of the authorities Is
now directed to prevent a blockade on
the Siberian railroad. Twenty new
sidings each of 1900 feet are being
erected.
There is great danger that in bring
ing back the empty cars the whole line
may be stopped.
The government bank balance
March 1 showed a decrease of only
100000. The gold in hand amounts
ed to $456,000,000.
