NIGHT CALL ON ROOSEVELT.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The British Ambassador, Sir Mortimer Durand. drove to the White House this evening. in heavy storm to see the President on a matter which must have been of pressing importance, as no appoint ment had been made for the call.
 Sir Mortimer was accompanied by MT. Spring-Rice, the counselor of the British Embassy at St. Petersburg, who is in Washington on visit.
 They were alone with the President for more than an hour. They talked of the war and it is thought that they discussed the possibility of friendly in- tervention by the United States and England to end the conflict, but Sir Mortimer denied, as he left the White House, that any such advances were considered.
 There is nothing I can say" said the Ambassador when asked the pur- pose of his call under such unusual circumstances.
 When asked if any peace prOposi. tion was under consideration he re. piled:
 NO, nothing of that kind. In fact nothing of public interest was dis cussed."
 Sir Mortimer and Mir. Spring-Rice

Ex-Mayor McCUe Acknowledged the
 Murder of His Wife.

Charlottesville, Va, Feb. 11.-J. Sam1. McCue, former mayor of the city, who was hanged in the county jail here yesterday for the murder of his wife on Sunday, Sept. 4, 1904, made statement just prior to going to the scaffold which was today given out by three special advisors selected by McCue. The statement was as follows:
 "J. Sam1. McCue stated in our pres enee, and requested us to make public, that he did not wish to leave the world with suspicion resting on any human being other than himself, and that he alone was responsible for the deed. having been impelled to it by an evil power beyond his control and that he recognized the sentence pass ed upon him to be a just one"

Washington, Feb. 1.-The Senate today ratified arbitration treaties be- tween the T.. s. and eight European governments. It required two ses- sions to reach an agreement. At the first session consideration was given to a communication from the Presi- dent to Senator Cullom, chairman of the foreign affairs committee, to in- form him of protest against any amendment being adopted. At the second session the treaties were amended and ratified with only nine votes against the amendment made by the Senate Committee.
 No defense of the presidents posi- tion was made until the second execu- tive session, when Messrs. Deliver, Fairbanks and Platt, of Connecticut argued against the need of haste. They took the position that there are no questions included in the treaty which could not properly be submitt- ed by executive agreement to arbitra- tion.
 A motion to adjourn was made. but on roll call was defeated. kImotion was then made to adopt the commit tees amendment The vote was taken On the treaty between the U. s. and France, as other treaties are on identical lines. A roll call was again demanded, and the amendment adopt ed by a vote of 50 to g. When this amendment was adopted 1t was agreed that so far as other treaties were concerned they should be ratified by a viva voce vote.

Industrial Conditions.

New York, Feb. 11.-Indications point to poor bank statement. There is no truth in the rumor Of merger of Southern Steel Co The output of iron of the principal steel companies for January increased 124 per cent over the corresponding period of last year.
 The banks have lost to the ,sub- treasury since Friday $3,421 900. The annual report of the American Woolen Company shows per cent earned on preferred and more than , per cent on common.

Under the terms of the merger pro- posed for the consolidation under a single head of all the Bonanza Circle properties in the Warren District, the directors of the several companies as they now stand will probably during this week take the necessary steps to execute plans to the end of consolida- tion that have been formulated
 The merger will mean that the Cal umet & Pittsburg, the Lake Superior & Pittsburg, the Pittsburg & Duluth and the Junction will pass out of ex, istence as individual organizations and merge with the parent company. the Calumet & Arizona The name of the latter, possibly with "Consoli dated" affixed. will probably be the new name of the mighty consolidation of wonderful copper properties embod- jed in the group.
 Prior to the final consolidation the Junction will be organized into a min ing company. Other technical steps will also be necessary to execution of the plans entertained. This. of course. in the event that at the meet ing this week of the directors of the company, probably on Tuesday, the scheme that has been given to the public as a rough draft of the consol- idation idea is adopted. There is lit tie doubt that it will be, if not in its present shape, then in some shape along the same lines.
 From the inside it is understood that the real reason for the consolida- tion is the fact that L. s. & P. and C.. & F., practically prepared for produc- tion and with splendid bodies of ore in hand, will soon stand in need of ready cash to provide the greater equipment that must be had. This might be speedily provided in half dozen ways, but in none that would seem to give stockholders and all the interests connected as much protec- tion and as little inconvenience as the consolidation plan
 The plan of consolidation as it now stands gives the stockholders of the several companies an equitable read jjustInelt Of stock values. Details, however. may not yet be talked about with any degree of accuracy, not enough having been dsne in the way of final steps to provide a basis for positive statements. However, the Bonanza Circle people have the conf dence of their shareholders and of the public at large, and that the new ar engagement will be equitable and just to all is held to be certain of outcome. The details as known he-/ are tolc be- low in the daily letter of Broker Frank Graf. -~ itzse

KLAMATH PROJECT
HALF THE LAND TO BE
RECLAIMED UNDER WATER.
Drainage l.. II Big Part of the Irriga-
ton Scheme-Over 25O,OOO Acres to
BE Irrigated by Reservoir Made
From Upper Klamath Lake Itself.

II is unique feature at the Kla-
math reclamation project that of the
250,000 acres to be irrigated, at least
half is now constantly under water
of a depth varying from one to 10
feet
In all irrigation works undertaken
by the reclamation service, drainage
accompanies irrigation as a vitality
necessary adjunct, but for half must,
for two or three years precede irri-
cation. 1t is proposed to drain off all
the waters of Lower klamath lake
and TO uncover half the lands in Tule
lake, the federal congress and the
Legislature of Oregon and California
having given the necessary permis-
sion to the reclamation service.
The two states have ceded to the
national government all lands in the
lake beds, and these lands, with the
exception OF the acreage now held in
private ownership, will be subject to
homestead entry when thoroughly
drained and ready for cultivation.
A greater part of the area, 10000
acres, under the klamath project, will
be irrigated with water drawn from
Upper Klamath lake, natural and
ineXhaustible reservoir. No storage
dam is required here. the lake having
sufficiently higher elevation than the
lands to be watered from Clear lake
in California, or from Horsefly reser-
voir. situated in oregon.
OF the now dry lands under the
project, only a few thousand acres
are public lands. The greater part Of
the lands in private ownership is
held in large tracts and under the
provisions of the reclamation act,
those lands must be sold in small lots,
as one person can purchase water for
no more than 100 acres. The Klam-
ath Water Users association, a cor
poratlon of landowners with a capi-
tai of 100000, has organized to CO.
operate with and assist the reclama-
tion service. The office of the asso-
citation is at klamath Falls, Or, the
county seat of klamath county.
The klamath country is now with
out immediate railroad connectnon,
but two companies have given assur-
ance that they will begin immediate
construction of railroads to connect
klamath Falls with the Southern Pa
cific line between San Francisco and
Portland.
