IS ANCIENT
HISTORY NOW

General Oku's Headquarters, Jan.
81, via Tien Tsin, Feb. AFTER three
months of inaction, there is now
prospect that the armies Of General
Kuropatkin and Field Marshal Oyama
will soon join in what will likely
prove the greatest battle Of the war.
For some days past the Russians have
been quietly massing troops on Gen
eral Oku's left, evidently preparatory
to an attempt at turning the move
ment. For three days past a heavy
artillery fire has been kept up by the
Russians on General Oku's left, run
ming today towards the center. The
Japanese have not replied to the can
nonade awaiting the attack of the Rus
SLAMS who have been heavily rein
forced. It is believed now that they
have numerous divisions along the
Shakhe River. The Japanese force has
also been increased and everything
now seems ready for the greatest con-
flict yet recorded in the present war.

ing irrigation in New Mexico
in Days of the Pioneer.
BENEFITS OF WATER
R. {. TwitcheI|, W. S. HopeweII and
Solomon Luna Appear in Kansas
Colorado Hearing Today.

The hearing before Commissioner
G. A. Richardson in the Kansas-Colo-
RADIO water right case, wherein Colo
RADIO is charged by the state of Kan
sas with unlawfully appropriating the
waters of the Arkansas River con-
tinued today in the Supreme Court
chambers in the capitol building.
Only one witness was examined yes
terday afternoon, T. B. Catron, of this
city. Mr.. Catrons testimony was in
regard to the ancient customs Of irri-
cation in New Mexico. He also testi-
fed as to how irrigation benefited
the arid lands and made them rich
and productive, together with increas-
ing their value. Mr.. CatrOn estimat-
ed that under the reclamation act at
least 100000 acres in this Territory
could be made productive, providing
the proposed plans of the government
were put into execution and storage
reservoirs and irrigation systems con-
structed.
The witnesses today were R. E.
Twitchell, of Las Vegas, w. S. Hope
well of this city, and Solomon Luna OF
Los Lunas Their testimony was along
practically the same lines as that of
the previous witnesses. The commits
sion will complete it's sitting here this
evening and will proceed to Roswell
for couple of days. From there Com
missioner Richardson and the attor
neys in the case will 60 to Little Rock
and Fort Smith, Arkansas.
This suit has attracted widespread
attention in the southwest and when
decision is finally rendered by the
Supreme Court of the United States, it
will establish precedent in such
cases. The point at issue is vital
one to both states involved. Kansas
contention is that that state is en-
titled to the waters of the Arkansas
River by riparian right, while Colo
radios contention is that it is entitled
to the waters of this stream by right
Of prior appropriation. l will be some
time yet before final decision will
be rendered.

Washington, Feb. 1.-Considerable
of change in the situation concern
ing the pending Hamilton joint state
hood bill has taken place in the last
"a hours and Chairman Beveridge OF
the Senate committee on territories
claims to have secured enough votes
to pass the Hamilton joint statehood
bill with the amendments made by
the committee on territories, when the
bill comes up for vote Tuesday next.
Senator Beveridge seems to have no
doubt about this, while the opponents
of the measure do not conceal 1t and
believe that the Foraker or Teller

that Arizona will be eliminated from
the provisions of the measure.

ASKS FOR TIME
Special to the New Mexican.

Special to the New Mexican.
Albuquerque, N. NJ, Feb. 1.-The
most largely attended mass meeting of
Albuquerque citizens ever held here
occurred last night and it was unani-
mously resolved to urge the general
Legislative Assembly of New Mexico
to postpone any definite action as to
Council Bill No. II until citizens of AL
buquerque can be heard from on the
subject. An adjourned mass meeting
will be held tonight and delegates will
be selected to go to Santa Fe Thurs
day morning to protest against the
bills enactment.
There exists a positive and unani-
nous sentiment here against the meas
ure which provides that persons in
any county possessing property liable
to damage from the overflow Of the
waters of the Rio Grande River shall
be subject to assessment by the river
commissioners for their pro rata share
of the labor deemed necessary to pre-.
vent the impending disaster.
1t is provided that the laborers en-
gagged in such work shall be paid the
sum of 50 daily hire and that for their
services while thus engaged the river
commissioners shall receive SIS each.
A minimum fine of SIS is set for those
failing to neglect to furnish such labor
or funds as may be assessed. The act
becomes effectual from the day it is
passed.
Montoya Replies.
Councilman Montoya has tele-
graphed the mayor of Albuquerque
that no action would be taken in the
matter of Council Bill No. II, until the
Albuquerque delegation arrives and
that he will be glad to cooperate with
that delegation.

Ill health is given as the reason for his

M. Bonligan, former governor Of

Prince Sviatapoly Mirsky' successor,
but no decision has yet been reached.
His desire for retirement has been
known for weeks but the manner in
which it was announced was unusual,
the retirement of the minister being
generally accompanied by imperial
rescript. For this reason the form of
announcement is generally believed to
be reprimand. Among extreme re-
actiOnaries and even among more
moderate conservatives Prince Sviato-
