CANADA CUP RACES.
Three Fast Yachts of the Thirty-Foot
Type, Will Compete for the Honor
of Making the Challenge.

Toronto, Ontario, July 22.--The in.
terest of yachtsmen throughout the
Dominion centers in the trial races
for the Canada Cup challengers, which
began here to-day. There are three
candidates for the honor of challeng,
ing for the cup. Two are owned by
Toronto men and Hamilton syndi-
cate owns the third. The Hamilton
yacht was designed by William John.
son, who designed Hamilton |. One
of the Toronto yachts was designed by
WilliaM Fife, Jr., of Fairlie, and The
other Toronto challenger was designed
by Alfred Milne. There is considerable
difference in the construction OF the
three boats, though there is little va
ration in the general dimensions. N
addition to these three boats there are
two other entries for the trial races.
They are the Beaver and the Invader,
both of Canada Cup fame, but it is eX-
pected that they will be used chiefly
as trial boats, as it is not at all prob
able that either will be selected for
the final contest, neither exactly fit
ting the new 30-foot class.

MANY VESSELS HAVE BEEN ADDED
Navy of the United States Has Re.
ceived Great Impetus During the
Present Fiscal Year.

New York, July 22.-With the com
pletion of the battleship Connecticut
now building, and other warships
more vessels will be added to the reg,
lister of naval ships in the fiscal year
just opening than in any other fiscal
year in the country's naval history. In
the coming twelve months there will
be placed in active service, beside the
Connecticut, the great battleships Ne
braska, Vermont, Virginia, Georgia,
New Jersey. Rhode Island and Louisi-
ana, the armored cruisers California,
South Dakota, Tennessee and Wash
ington, and the protected cruisers st.
Paul, Milwaukee and Charleston.
The result of this large addition to
the navy will be a swing of the pendu-
lum of activity to the other extreme.
Not for long time have there been so
few vessels in the early period of their
construction as now, and the conse-
quence will be that July /, 1906, will
find fewer ships than in many years in
course of construction at private or
government yards.

FEEDING TESTS WITH CAcTI.
U. S. Department of Plant Industry to
Cooperate With Agricultural Col
lege in Experiments.
Special to the New Mexican

special to the New Mexican.
| Mesilla Park, July 22.-The United
States Department of Plant Industry
has made arrangements to cooperate
with the United States experiment sta
tlon and the department of agriculture
at the New Mexico College of Agricul
ture and Mechanic Arts in extensive
tests as to the food value of the cacti
of the arid regions. Exhaustive ex.
periments will be made by feeding
cattle, sheep and other animals upon
the cacti and the results will be care
fully watched and fully tabulated That
these results will be of the utmost i'm
portance to New Mexico and other sec
tions of the southwest there can be no
doubt, and the tests will be eagerly
followed by the stockmen throughout
the country
The college, under the direction of
the chemical and botanical depart
ments, last year made careful analysis
of many of the principal varieties of
the cacti found in the Territory to de-
termine the amount and character of
the nutriment contained. The prac-
tical feeding tests to be made this
winter under Professor J. J. Vernon,
in cooperation with the government,
will be the final proof as to the value
of the plants for feeding purposes.

A PARASITE PRODUCES
THE LOCO" EFFECT.

Denver, Colo, July 22.-Professor c..
d. Marsh, the government expert, who
has been making Investigations into
the loco weed and its effect, and who
has made his headquarters near Hugo,
advances an entirely new theory re-
garding the matter This is that the
weed itself is harmless, but that par
asite lives within the bulbs and that
when these are eaten by the stock the
acids in the stomach form the medium
through which they develop and then
produce the well-known "locoed" ef-
feet. Professor Marsh wishes to be no.
titled where he can find carcasses Of
animals supposed to have died from
eating loco weed, so that he may ex-

PARENTS WAX EXCEEDING WR0TH.
Because New York Board of Health
Refuses Work Certificates to
Their Children.

New York, July 22.-The rigidity
with which the child labor laws are be-
ing enforced this summer is being bit,
terly protested by parents in the poor
er sections of this country. They can.
not understand why the Board of
Health should refuse a work certifi-
cate to a child under IA years of age,
nor can they understand the other reg.
ulations which govern the issuance of
these certificates. AS result of this
ignorance, scores upon scores of angry
parents are being turned away from
the various local offices of the Health
Bureau, muttering imprecations at the
officials who refuse to give them Ger.
tificates which will enable their chill
dren to work during the summer
months.
In former years it was a compare
lively easy matter for child to OBJ.
tain vacation work certificate, but
things have changed now and no child
is permitted to work unless it is IA
years of age and has attended school
for $50 school days since its thirteenth
birthday So rigidly are these two
qualifications enforced that no work
certificate it issued to child unless ii
can produce absolute evidence of age
together with a certificate from the
principal of the school it last attend
ed, showing that it had been in school
the necessary number of days.

IN DANGER
Bomb intended for the Sultan
Smashes Windows of DipIo-
matic Corps Pavilion
AT C0NSTANTINOPLE
Second Secretary Of U. S. Legation
and Captain Smiley, of the Army,
Were in the Building.

Brussels, July %. "A telegram to the
I Petit Bleu from Constantinople says:
During Selamlik here yesterday a
bomb was exploded In the court yard
OF the Mosque, close to the sultan. His
majesty was not injured, but several
members of his suite were killed or In.
jured. Several arrests have been made.
Bomb Does Damage to Diplomatic
Quarters.
Constantinople, July 22.-The bomb
thrown by the man who attempted to
assassinate the sultan Yesterday
smashed the windows Of the pavilion
reserved for the diplomatic corps,
which contained, among others, u.

in the pavilion
Only a Few Persons Killed.
London, July 22.-The Turkish cen.
sorship is evidently suppressing the
news regarding the attempt on the life
OF the sultan. Further press dispatches
from Constantinople say: "As the sui.
tan was issuing from the mosque at
the conclusion of the ceremony of Sc
lamlik, bomb burst in the court yard
of the mosque. His majesty was un-
injured and displayed his usual self
possession and courage. Only few
persons were killed or injured"

THE CASE or ASSES SoR GONZALES
Will Be on Hearing Again on Next
Monday-Curious Contentious
Made by the Defense.

Hearing in the case of the Territory
of New Mexico VS.. Anastacio Gonzales
assessor of Santa .Fe County, will be
continued before Justice John r. Me,
Fie, in Chambers Monday next Trav.
cling Auditor c. V. Stafford, who pre-.
ferred the charges has been busy dur
ing the last week preparing tax sched-
ules and other documents to be used
in the evidence in support of the
charges. Many of the tax schedules
for the present year will be submitted
to the court. 1t is intended by the
submission of these documents, to
show neglect of duty and inefficiency
in making the assessments for the
present year by the assessor. 1t is un-
derstoood that one of the contentious
Of the attorneys for the defense will
be that the assessor did not personally
attend to the duties of investigating
the property conditions and making
the assessments, but that he left this
important work to his deputies, hence
that the deputies are culpable and the
assessor is not. The attorneys for
the assessor claim, so it is said, that
while their client may have been
guilty of laches and neglect of duty,
he is not subject to removal under the
statute, but might be liable to civil
proceeding directed against his bond,
and for the recovery of such sums of
money as the Territory and county
might have been damaged in, owing to
the deplorable state of the assessments
made under his supervision. The con-
tention that District Attorney E. C.
Abbott could not appear for the Terri
tory and county, because under the
law he was the legal advisor of the
county officials, was settled quickly by
Mr. Abbott's withdrawal from the case.
The idea that the district attorney is
official counsel and defender of county
officials with misfeasance and neglect
Of duty is certainly remarkable and
unique. If upheld it would prove a
very soft snap for county officials
charged with dereliction of duty, NAL
feasance, nonfeasance or misfeasance
while in office.

MccAULIFFE AND CARNEY
WILL FIGHT AGAIN.

New York, July 22.-In sporting cir.
cles here the prediction is made that
if Jack McCauliffe, the former light
weight champion, and Jim Carney, the
English fighter, come together in Eng
land today as scheduled, a fierce and
interesting battle will be the result
Cable dispatches state that the two
are to go five rounds at Birmingham fol-
a purse of 81 900. McCauliffe has been
out of the ring for long time, but il
is believed that he still has a good
fight in him. Carney, likewise, is a
veteran of the squared circle and a
postmaster in the art of boxing. Many
still remember the long drawn out and
vicious draw which McCauliffe and
Carney fought near Boston some fiji
teen years ago.

gan an investigation here into the
question of alleged allowances made
by railroads to companies or persons
owning grain elevators or by com
panies or persons owning elevators
to shippers of grain. 1t is charged
that these allowances furnish one OF
the most fruitful sources of violation
of the interstate commerce law, be-
cause they enable grain merchants to
make profit over the actual cost of
the elevation.

I of men reported missing at the latest
| reports is estimated at from q to 25
| and it is feared that when the worst is
known the list of dead will be greatly
increased. A roll call was ordered by
Commander Young some hours after
the explosion, and showed sixty-one
men present, leaving 1876 unaccounted
for, These include the dead, the in
jured and the missing. Commander
Young believes some of the missipg
were drowned and that their bodies
will be found in the bay.
The Boilers Were in Bad Condition.
San Diego, Cal. July 22.--Fireman
Hopp made the first statement today
as to the cause of the accident on the
Bennington. He says that shortly
before the explosion the boilers were
found to be leaking badly and the
boilermaker was sent for to repair the
damage. Before the latter came the
explosion took place.
Must Have Been Result of High Ex.
plosives.
Washington, ID. c., July 22.-Rear
Admiral c. w. Rae, chief engineer off
Ger of the navy, says he can only ac-
count for the damage done on the Ben
ningt0n by the explosion of high ex.
plosives. and reiterates that there was
nothing in the reports of the bureau
to show that the boilers were in un-
safe condition. He said to-day: after
an examination of the plans of the
Bennington and in the light of the dis
patches giving an account of the dis.
aster, cannot conceive how the col,
lapse of the crown sheet could dam
age the ship to the extent stated, or
have blown people overheard from the
decks, If there were high explosives
in the shell room just forward of the
pump room and forward fire room, and
they were exploded by the concussion,
that would account for the damage
done" Attention was called today to
the regulations governing the inspec-
tion OF boilers, which show that the
boilers of all warships in the navy must
be inspected every three months.

THE LA PLATA
IRRIGATION
Project Will Be Pushed Ahead
Rapidly by the United
States Government
THROUGH FERTILE LAND
In San Juan County, New McKee,.
Water to Be Diverted Frsm the
Las Animas River.

Denver, July 22.-That the La Plat;
River irrigation project, one of th
greatest reclamation schemes of tn,
United States government, will be car
rled to completion seems to be a fore
gone conclusion among the officers o
the reclamation service in this city
Although estimates have as yet no
been finished or the work, the Denver
officers are most sanguine as to the
outcome of the preliminary operations
of the surveying parties now in the
field.
The La Plata River project" said
a prominent reclamation official yes
terday, sis one of the big ones of the
service. There are something over
10000 acres of first and second class
land which will be brought under ditch
and made good farming land. This will
mean millions of dollars added to the
agricultural wealth of this state and
New Mexico. The land to be reclaimed
lies between the La Plata and the Las
Animas Rivers and mostly in San Juan
County, New Mexico. 1t is one of the
most fertile bodies of land in the arid
west.
For over a year we have had par
ties working in the field measuring the
land, running preliminary surveys and
doing other work on this project. AL
though the work is not completed, we
feel sure that the project will be I'M
dertaken by the government. 1t will
in all probability be the middle of Sep
tember before all the preliminary work
is completed, and it will be that time
before we are sure of the completion
of the work by the government
"The work is of very great impor-
tance to the residents of La Plata
County, Colorado, and San Juan Coun-
ty, New Mexico, from the fact that two
railroads are now building into the
land to be reclaimed These roads are
the Denver and Rio Grande and the
Arizona and Colorado. With the land
made tillable and the railroads built
the value of the land will be greatly in
excess of 500 per acre. The govern
ment will in all probability be some
what influenced in its determination to
build the canals and reservoirs by the
plans to build the railroads. Already
the Denver and Rio Grande has COM
pleted more than twelve miles of its
road from Durango and Pennington
and it is expected that the work on
the line of the Arizona and Colorado
through the district will be commenced
in very short time.
"The cost of the construction of the
system of canals and reservoirs neces-
sary to divert the waters of the Las
Animas over to the La Plata valley
will be about $40 an acre. When you
consider that the land thus watered
will double in value over the cost of
the improvements it is a very good
proposition.
"There is no doubt as to the water
flow of the Las Animas being sufficient
to water all the land we expect to re-
claim The Las Animas River has a
large flow of water and the only water
now used from it is that used in the
irrigation of the Las Animas Valley
This use is of not great enough i'm
portance or quantity to interfere in
any way with the La Plata irrigation
project.
