REACHED BY PARLIAMENT

and then adjourned until Monday to
await the governments decision re-
garding its future course Of action in
view of the defeat of the ministry last
night on John Redmond's motion to

much excitement was visible on all
sides, and there was a disposition to
view the defeat of the government
as more serious than 1t was generally
regarded in early hours this morning,
When the house adjourned, the mem
bers rose and excitedly swarmed into
the lobbies, eagerly discussing the
probable decision of the cabinet which
had been summoned to meet this af'
ternoon. The view that the govern
ment will resign, however, is not held
in circles generally we'll informed.

SPRING RIVER HIGH
AND CAUSING DAMAGE

alena. Kans., July 21.-Flood condi-
tions along Spring river north of this
city are more serious than ever Most
of last night Spring river came up at
a rate OF foot an hour and is still ris-
ing, Much mining land has been flood
ed and mining operations suspended.
The st. Louis & San Francisco rail-
road bridge west of this city is six
inches out Of line and has been aband-
oned.

LITTLE INTEREST
IS MANIFESTED
In the Britt Sullivan Mill at
San Francisco To-
night.
ALL ODDS ARE ON SULLIVAN

San Francisco, Cal. July 21.-The
date of the fight between Jimmy
Britt and Kid Sullivan has arrived,
but there appears to be little or no
increase of interest in the event. New
ertheless, the Hayes Valley club, un-
der whose auspices the mill is to take
place, expects a fair sized crowd on
hand tonight, basing their expectations
on the fact that Britt has a host of
followers among the sporting fra
ternity who never fail to turn out to
see him fight.
The lack of interest in the bout is
due chiefly to the belief that the lad
from the national capital is no match
for Britt and that the fight will con-
sequently be a one-sided affair. The
fight followers are desirous of seeing
Britt and Battling" Nelson in the
ring again, and are disappointed that
Britt should sidestep a match with
the Dane and take on Sullivan, who
is regarded as an easy mark.
Sullivan Is an unknown quantity
here, but some of the critics who
have watched him at work think well
of him, and the prediction is made in
some quarters that he will give the
San Francisco idol tussle when they
come together tonight Sullivan is a
slam-bang fighter, of the rough and
ready type. His chief defect is his
lack of experience. His brief record
however, Is a creditable one. Although
he has been in the fighting game only
few years, he has held his own with
three of the best men in his division
and disposed of several lesser ones.
His fifteen-round draw with Eddie
Hanlon was unquestlonably a great
performance, especially as 1t was held
that HanlOn was fortunate to get a
draw decision.
Sullivan followed with a ten-round
draw with Young Corbett. In this
battle Sullivan's manager insisted on
a draw if the men were on their feet
at the finish, and he was much cha
grined when he saw how well Sullivan
did. But the best performance in
Sullivan's record was his six-round en-
counter with Battling" Nelson in
which the Washington lad exchanged
blow for blow and held his own to the
finish.
Since the match between Britt and
Sullivan was made several weeks age
both fighters have been training faith
fully and reports from their respect
i've quarters today are TO the effect
that both are in prime condition. I'm
der the articles OF agreement they are
TO weigh in at o'clock this evening
at 1873 pounds.

IRRIGATION AS IT IS
CONDUCTED IN CANADA
Which Country Claims the Largest Irrigation
Plant on the American Continent at
the Present Time.

Their afternoon tea would betray
their British origin If their swooping
habit of speech left any doubt on the
subject. The men wear the white
corduroy riding breeches, with shirts
open at the throat and arms bare to
the elbow, and their mounts snow
that they are gentlemen of some
means. The women bring their
luncheon in their rigs, and when hun
CRY they picnic where they chance to
be. Tney think nothing of driving
twenty miles into town to see a polo
game.
The "Remittance Man."
There Is another sort of the Eng
lishman. He is the remittance man,
who is here for the good of his coun'
try. He is regarded by his fellow citi'
zens and neighbors as a pest. He
usually receives his remittance once
a quarter and he makes 1t mis- first
, business to spend it. He makes a
pretense of stock raising. but his
ranch is generally rented. He is often
auarrelsome, lazy, and a confirmed
drunkard, but after his name there is
almost always title connecting him
with one of Great Britain's oldest and
proudest families.
More Americans Wanted.
Nearly a third of the population OF
Calgary, it is claimed, are from the
United States, and very large pro-
portion are from Illinois and Iowa. A
Minnesota land company is getting
ready to introduce the new irrigated
lands, particularly to the irrigation
| farmer of the United States. It is
not planned to limit the holdings, but
rent will be charged for water an
nually, whether the land is worked or
not. and it is expected that this an
| nual charge of fifty cents an acre will
have the effect of preventing the hold
| ing of the lands for speculative pur-
poses. The average price of the land
at the beginning will be SIS an acre.
There is marked absence of the
bad man" and the rough element,
male and female, usually found in
the Canadian outposts of civilization.
There are no gambling joints, no red
| light districts, and no saloons. except
the bar which Is run in connection
with a hotel. In Calgary no less than
100000 is invested in churches.
