KANSASCOL0RADOSUIT.
Sixty Million More Acres Can Be Put
Under Ditch, Making Homes for
Hosts of Families.

The hearings in the Kansas -Colora-
! do water suit have been resumed at
Washington, D. c., before Commission
er Granville A. Richardson of Roswell.
On Monday, Ex-Governor Alexander
Brodie, Of Arizona Joseph B. Alex
ander, an attorney of Phoenix, Ari-
zona, and F. H. Newell, chief engineer
of the Reclamation Service, were ex-
amined. Ex-Governor Brodie testified
that he went to Arizona twenty years
ago, when 1t had but 5000 inhabitants
and at time when there was very lit
tie development in the Territory; that
during the past twenty years over
315,000 acres of land have been placed
under irrigation bitches and that sew
eral more hundred thousand acres can
be added to the irrigated area; that it
is necessary for the preservation of
the present development and to secure
any future development in the Terri
tory that all waters should be used for
irrigation purposes. Attorney Alexan.
der corroborated the statements made
w CA-dONCluoI DlOulc.
F. H. Newell of the Reclamation
Service, testified among other things,
that he had been connected with the
Geological Survey since 1879; that he
had made special study of under
ground or sheet waters in the arid re-
gion and particularly of such waters
underlying the valley of the Arkansas
River; that the so-called overflow of
the Arkansas River is nothing more
or less than underground or sheet wat
ers which are found everywhere in
the plains country, and that this un-
dergrOund or sheet water received it's
chief source and supply from rain and
snowfall and not from the body of
the streams. He further testified as
to what irrigation had done generally
the entire arid region ana
what it is capable of doing in the
future. In this connection he said that
over 60000,000 acres could yet be re-
claimed and added to the irrigated
tion of many millions, but that no fu-
ture development could be had in the
arid country under the application of
the doctrine of riparian rights. He
gave detailed account of the reclaim
alton projects that are under way in
each of the states and territories In
the arid region and said that there had
been expended thus far over 100000
under the reclamation act and that
contracts had been made for the ex-
penditure of about SIS, 100000 more.
Yesterday Senators Warren and
Newlands testified in similar strain
before Commissioner Richardson.

and financiers, from Kansas City to
the City of Mexico. The party trav
eled in special train and Mr.. Greer
says the affair was one of the most
delightful he had ever engaged in
both on account Of the geniality and
good fellowship of the participants In
1t and on account Of the completeness
of all arrangements which made every
thing just as comfortable and as sat
isfactory as 1t could possibly be- Al
Ri Paso today he expects the party

TROUBLE WITH CESERTiON
OF MANY STRIKE BREAKERS

New York, March 8.-The seizure OF
the Subway by the city will be a rem
edy which President Alexander e. Orr
declares the Rapid Transit Commits
sioners will apply if the strike tie-up
should continue long. The president
of the commission says they have ade-
quate power to deal with the matter
and that power will be used unless
adequate service is given within "reas-
enable time" What reasonable time
is, in the face of the strike, may be
variously interpreted.
The second day of the strike began
with little changes. Trains are run
ming in the Subway and there is some
improvement in the Elevated. The
principal trouble faced by the COM
pany was the desertion of many strike
breakers on the Third Avenue line.
Willing to Consider Proposition.
New York, March S-The officials
of the Amalgamated Associated Elec
trio and Street Railway employees and
the local official of the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Engineers sent a letter to
Mayor Mcclellan in response to his
suggestion, stating that they are will
ing to consider any proposition that
may bring about an amicable adjust
ment of the strike. The mayors sug
gestion to both the Interborough Com
pany and the strikers was that the ad
justment of the trouble be trusted to
him personally or to a committee of
distinguished citizens.
Nothing to Arbitrate.
New York, March 8.-The executive
committee of the Interborough Rapid
Transit Company, after an executive
meeting today, announced that a let.
ter had been sent to Mayor Mcclellan
in reply to the mayors offer to act MS
arbitrator, in which the executive
committee thanked the mayor for his
offer but added that the company had
nothing to arbitrate.

of the days operations, has arrived
The contents are unknown except thai
at night fall Kuropatkin still held Muk

a reliable source that the position OF
the Russian left is critical. Kuroki
has succeeded in driving a wedge be-
tween General Linevitch's main army
and General Rennenkampff's force,
which is on the extreme left. The lat
ter is reported to be in great danger
of being cut off or surrounded.

last night, under cover of darkness,
evacuated the whole line along the
