The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1905-05-19


1t is to be hoped that the farmers
world congress which the energetic
young Italian king, Victor Emmanuel
Ill, is fathering will do more for the
land of its sponsor than did the peace
congress for the cars people. Wheth'
er the czar was in earnest in preaching
peace in 1900 or otherwise. his country
needed peace if ever a nation did.
Among other reforms, Italy, as the
world understands it, is sadly in need
of agricultural development and, above
all, of government initiative and CO.
operation.
King Victor Emmanuel's idea that
the agricultural classes are the main
stay of nations is a sound one, and
along with it goes the proposition that
if international congresses are good
for other departments of activity the
farmers should get in line and swap
notes like other people. And, by the
way, this royal scheme for promoting
agricultural prosperity and stability
did not originate in a palace, neither in
sunny Italy at all, but was hatched in
the brain of an American citizen, Da
vid Lubin. formerly of California. He
thought it was big contract and
would be the better for kingly "send
off" and the stamp of foreign" ap
proval. Perhaps he was right.

The Dead Wizard.

Jules Verne was not the first to call
science to the aid of the romancers
pen Those who preceded him, howev-
er as Abbott, for instance, in the "Rol'
10" books, made their characters talk
science as means of giving inforna'
ton to the young. Verne drew upon
science to aid man in the problem
which ever confronts the race, the mas.
terry of nature, the humiliation of
space and time. The dead novelist
had many imitators in life and will
have many followers in the school
where he was master.
Verne's books were of the kind which
people read with avidity, but are not
satisfied until they have asked some
one who is supposed to know whether
the marvels depicted are possible. Ii
answered in the negative they are not
convinced. but turn again to the books
for solace. And some of the marvellous
creations of Jules vernes fertile i'm
aglnation have materialized in fact, so
the doubters have come to grief.
In their contents the books of Jules
Verne make good the promise of the ir-
resistible titles. He carried his char
acters around the world in eighty days,
to the center of the earth, TO the
moon and 10000 leagues under the
sea. verne's people lack PERSONAL
ty. they have no life and blood, but
they go through the most astounding
adventures, and these are so skillfully
worked up as to put reason to sleep.

New York, Jan. 21.-Bradstreet's

minority Leader IN the House Desires

Washington, Jan. 21.-The Post says
that Representative John Sharp Will
Jams late Friday called a caucus for
the purpose of resigning his leadership
of the minority. A sufficient number
of names was secured to the call when
the Democrats discovered Mr.. Will
Jams purpose, and many of them
withdrew their names, so that the
Democratic leader said that he could
not say whether the caucus would be
held or not. He did not deny his pur-
pose Of resigning when asked if this
was his intention.
It is sad that Mr.. Williams is dis
satisfied with the failure of the great

NOTABLES Will Be here
DELEGATION FROM WASHINGTON
' TO ADDRESS THE IRRIGATION
CONVENTION NEXT WEEK..
ARRANGEMENT MADE FOR MON
STER NIGHTINGALE PARTS
OF THE STATE WILL BE
REPRESENTED.

Last evening President Williams
of the irrigation association received
wire from F. H. Newell, chief of the
reclamation service at Washington,
that Messrs. H. A. Storrs, Savage and
Robbins, eminent officials of that bu-
reau, would attend the irrigation con-
gress to be held in this city next week
and make addresses.
In speaking of the congress Presi-
dent Williams said there was every in
dication that all parts of the state
would be represented at the meeting
and that the speakers would include
the most noted irrigation experts in
the country. About all the arrange
ments have been completed and a sue
cessful and profitable convention is
promised.
The withdrawal by the interior de-
partment of large number of town
ships in this vicinity from entry in
dicates the interest it is taking in irri-
cation projects in this state and has
convinced those that had doubts as to
whether this irrigation agitation would
amount to anything that the govern
ment intends to make practical dem
onstration of the benefits accruing
from watered lands.
Hon. Alexander Mckenzie has been
made chairman of the reception COM
mittee for the convention. The fol-
lowing compose the committee on ac-
commodations for that event: ira 3.

BUSINESS Of Strike Situation.
st. Petersburg, Jan. 21.-In the midst
of the fever of excitement Friday over
the strike situation the incident at the
Winter palace on Thursday is attract
ing secondary consideration.
Sensational reports of a widespread
conspiracy and wholesale disaffection
In the army seem to be absolutely
without foundation. Grand Duke Ser
gius Michaelovitch in his preliminary
report shows that the caisson of the
battery contained charges of grape in
readiness for possible emergency
such as to rake streets in case of riot
ing, one of which was introduced into
gun in front of the saluting charge.
The gunners are under arrest and
their antecedents are being examined;
but it is impossible to learn whether
anything important has yet been dis
covered. The military authorities are
inclined to believe that the incident
was the work of two men, one of whom
inserted the missiles while the other
trained the gun. An eye witness has
reported that he had seen a cannoneer
carefully training the gun, but this
does not agree with the statement
made by Grand Duke Sergius to a
prominent military attache that the
gun must have been pointed down.
