A FEDERAL Judge at Chicago has
decided that the interstate commerce
commission has not the right to
put in force their order in regard to
freight rates on live stock. The
railroads say the interstate commerce
commission has sufficient power al
ready, while the court says it has
none. The roads refuse to obey the
order OF the commission and take the
matter into court and wins out. The
situation is simply this, the commis-
sion has no power over unjust rates,
and the roads declare it should have
no more than it now possesses.

Great New Orleans Fire.

New Orleans, Feb. 27.-Fire involv-
ing millions of dollars loss in physical
property and that strikes serious II
temporary blow at the immense export
trade in New Orleans. swept the river
front last night and wiped out the vast
freight terminals of the Illinois Cen
tral, known as the Stuyvesant docks.
Nearly a dozen squares of modern
wharves and freight sheds. two mag
nificent grain elevators, hundreds OF
loaded cars and vast quantities OF
freight, including 10000 bales Of cot
ton. were destroyed together with a
large number of small residences. The
fire was still raging furiously at mid
night, at which time it had almost
reached the upper end of the Illinois
Central property.
1t has not been determined whether
there has been any loss of life. The
ocean-going shipping seems to have es-
capped serious damage. A number of
firemen and employees of the docks
were injured. Actual estimates of the
losses are impossible yet, though they
may exceed $5,O00,000.
The Stuyvesant docks extend from
Louisiana avenue almost to Napoleon
avenue, distance of twelve squares.
The wharves between these two points
were covered with miles of trackage

KANSAS VS.. COLORADO
TESTIMONY AT WASHINGTON
Use of Water for Irrigation as oppoaed
to the Old Common Law Doc
trine Of Riparian Riahts.

Washington. Feb. 26.-Hearings in
the case of Kansas versus Colorado
were commenced yesterday.
Attorney General Miller, Judge Hayt
and C. C. Dawson were presens on be-
half OF Colorado. S. H. Ashbaugh rep
resented Kansas. and A. C. Campbell
represented the government.
The following witnesses testified:
Delegate Rodey, Representative Bell of
California and Jones of Washington,
and George H. Maxwell of the National
Irrigation association.
Delegate Rodey testified in effect
that there had been reclaimed by irri-
cation in New Mexico about 1,5000,000
acres, and that about 100000 acres
could be added by impounding and u.s.
Ing flood and other waters which now
go to waste. That this land, If re-
claimed would support several mil
lions of population, and that II the
contention of Kansas was sustained,
large parts of the already irrigated
area would be rendered arid and unin-
habltable. and there would be practi-
cally no future development in New
Mexico along agricultural or horticul-
tural lines.
Representative Jones stated that
while it was true that the supreme
court of his state had decided that the
doctrine of riparian rights prevailed
there, yet that such doctrine was not
enforced in the arid sections of the
state. and il enforced the result would
be that lands which are now irrigated
would be greatly damaged, If not de-
stroyed. and that several hundred
thousand acres of land in the arid sec
tion. which are capable of irrigation
would forever remain unproductive and
uninhabitable, and that under such
doctrine the reclamation act could not
be enforced in his state. Further. that
the legislature of Washington was now
considering bill which would in ef-
feet make the reclamation act oper-
ative.
Representative Bell stated. among
other things, that from 12,OOO,OOO to
Is, 1000, 900 acres could be added to the
irrigated area in California. thus in
creasing its wealth many millions of
dollars and adding to its population
many millions. but that no future de-
velopment could be made If the doc
trine of riparian rights. as contended
for by Kansas, was sustained and ap-
piled in his state.
Mr. Maxwell stated that under the
reclamation act and under the doctrine
of appropriation of water OF streams
for beneficial uses, about 150,OOO.OOO
acres of lands now arid and unproduct-
i've in the arid region. could be made
productive and profitable, and placed
in high state of cultivation, but that
no future development could be had in
the arid regions. nor could the policy
of the government as seen in the re-
clamation act be enforced, If the con
tention of Kansas was sustained.

sImPLoN TUNNEL FINISHED.
One Of the Greatest Engineering Works
the World Has Ever Known.


Condo, Switzerland, Feb. 26.-Pierc-
ing of the Simplon tunnel through the
Alps was completed at 1920 O'Clock Fri
day morning. The work was COM
menced In 1898.
Many unexpected obstacles were en-
countered. the most serious being hot
springs, which theatened to wreck the
whole enterprise. and temperature
which at one time rose to 131 degrees
Fahrenheit, making continuance of
the work impossible until the engi-
neers found means of cooling the at
mosphere.
Now that the borers have met, 1t
will enable the water accumulated In
the north gallery to be drawn off.
The work of preparing the tunnel
for a permanent railway Will be rushed
as rapidly as possible and 1t Is hoped
to inaugurate the tunnel about March
goth.
The piercing of the Simplon is re-
garded as being on of the greatest en-
gineering achievements of the age.
Many difficulties were encountered
and overcome.
The length of the tunnel from Briga,
in Switzerland. to Iselle, on the Ital-
ian side of the mountain, is about
twelve miles. Work was begun over
seven years ago, and according to con-
tract the tunnel must be ready for traf-
tic May 18th next. The Swiss and Ital-
ian governments jointly financed the
undertaking. share and share alike, at
the cost of $15,000,000.
AS soon as the boring is thoroughly
completed and the track laid, smaller
tunnel is to be constructed. parallel to
the large one, which will be increased
in size so as to permit of traffic both
ways at the same time.
