In New Mexico, TeaAs and Mexico.

WARRINGTON, Feb. &,-The House to-day
passed bill relating to the construction
Of dam and reservoir on the Rio Grande,
In New Mexico about 100 miles from the
Texas line for the lmpounding Of food
waters for irrigation, for the distribution
OF waters among the irrigable lands in
New Mexico Texas and the Republic OF
Mexico and for a treaty for the settlement
Of certain alleged claims of the citizens Of
Mexico against the United States In the
report Of the Committee on Foreign Affairs,
recommending the passage Of the bill,
II is said:
For years there have been conflicting
claims between the citizens OF New Mexico
and Texas In reference to the use of the
waters OF the Rio Grande, and there are
also pending claims. nomnally of very
large amount, in behalf Of the citizens
OF Mexico There ia no doubt that con-
siderable amount OF land in Mexico was
formerly irrigated TO some extent by the
waters OF the Rio Grande and that the use
OF the water further up the = tream has been

The engineers connected with the Goo
logical Survey, in charge OF the work under
the reclamation act have devised scheme
which we regard as highly beneficial
dam will be constructed at the mouth Of
canon in New Mexico, which will store
very large amount Of water. with the
additional advantage that II will food

dam will irriRate 1875. 900 acres of land that

settle upon an equitable basis claims that
have long been pending.
The act authorizes the Secretary OF
the Interior TO ascertain the amount Of
land in Mexico which formerly was
izated in whole or in part by the
waters OF the Rio Grande near Fl Paso.
When this has been ascertained. the
Secretary OF State Is authorized to
make treaty with Mexico by which a
certain amount of irrigation will be ac-
cepted in settlement Of any claims of the
owners. The land to be irrigated in Mexico
will be about one-eighth of the entire
amount, The residue OF the the land ls in
New Mexico and Texas. II the Govern
meut of Mexico should dechnefto1enter into
such an agreement they will keep their
