AFFECTS IRRIGATION PROJECTS.
President Appoints Commission to Deal
With International Difficulties.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE presi.
dent has appointed a special commits.
sion to deal with three important
questions which have arisen relative
to the diversion and interference with
the course of national rivers.
This commission consists of Judge
Penfleld, solicitor for the state depart
ment: Special Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral McBurch and Prof. F.. H.Newell
Of the geological survey. The com.
mission has just held Its first meeting.
All the questions before the commits.
sion have formed the subject of exteu.
sive correspondence between the state
department and Mexico on the south
and the Dominion of Canada on the
north. On the south there Is that
ong.standing controversy growing
out of the damming Of the Rio Grande
and the use of the waters of the upper
river for irrig alton purposes in Amer
ican territory. to the injury of the
Mexican farmers on the right bank of
the river. The Mexicans claim that
the Rio Graude is navigable, aud
consequently that this diversion Of
the water is in violation OF interna-
tional law.
To the westward the commission is
to deal with the Colorado river, where
the upper waters in American territory
also are about to be diverted, to the
loss of the Mexican branches iu Lower
California.
On the north the Milk river projects
in Montana have alarmed the Cana
dians. Rising in the United States.
this river flows into Canada and back
again into Montana. The Canadians
have been making large use of the wa
ters on their side, which led to a pro-
ject by the people of Montana to cut
out the entire bend in the river on the
American side by canal, the effect of
which would be completely TO deprive
the Canadians Of water. The commits.
sion will have to deal with some en-.
tirely new questions referring to rip.
arian rights.

peace between the contending sides in
the present labor trouble in Chicago,

Bullion Exhausted and Small Coin
Short $IO,OOO,OOO.

Philadelphia, Dec. 29.-John d.
I.nndsi. superintendent Of the mint in
this city, says that the silver bullion
of the country has been exhausted.
Unless congress takes prompt action to
relieve the situation by authorizing
the purchase of more silver bullion for
coinage or by accepting suggested
temporal remedy, he said commerce
would DO greatly hampered next year
as a result of a $lO,O00,000 shortage
in small silver coins.
The prevailing condition of the coun'
trv's collateral also entails wholesale
discharge Of mint employees, to take
effect on January /, and unless relief
is obtained from congress the regular
mint force will be cut down to nom.
iual number within the next few
months.
"Silver bullion" said Mr.. Lansdi,
s'has been exhausted because Of the
coinage of our useless hoard Of $685.
O0O. 900 standard dollars, for which
there has never been any real popular
demand. At the same time, with no

urgent demand for SIC, 100000 OF mi
nor subsidiary coin, without which
the country's commerce will be great

of silver bullion for coming purposes
