STOKES INAUGU RATION.

The Inauguration parade, attending
the installation in Office of Governors
elect Edward Casper Stokes is not to
be partisan affair, and is in harmony
with his declaration that be will be
!" Governor Of all the people not Of a
faction" The chief marshal Of the
parade has appointed a prominent
Trenton Democrat as his chief Of staff
and another equally prominent Demo-
GRAFT as marshal of a division, and
other Democrats viii occupy official
positions in the parade. This is right.
The election of a partisan to public
Office does not mean that he represents
alone those who vote for him. He is
the servant Of all the people, includ-
ing those who antagonized his election
as well as those who supported it.
That is the true meaning of genuine
democracy, Of popular rule, and it does
not SAVIOR Of patriotism for minority
to withhold participation the fulfil
ment of the edict of the majority or
to deny them the right to do so if they
are inclined to exercise it. The in
auguration ceremonies of the nth
proximo promise to be magnificent
demonstration Of fidelity to republic
canisn, inasmuch as it will be largely
of civic character, though not with
out just sufficient dash OF the military
to give assurance of the armed power
of the State to protect its peace and
prosperity II necessary.

Irrigation Congress In Session.

PORTLAND, Aug. 22.-The national
irrigation congress today considered
subjects kindred to reclamation OF
arid lands, in sectiona! meetings.
There was al apparently wide differ.
nee of opinion between the officials Of
the reclamation service and the dele
gates on the ~etfectuality of the present
national law. The resolutions com.
mittee, before whom the actual work
OF the congress is proceeding, en-
phatically set its foot down today on
the foreign immigration resolution in
troduced at the general session yes.
tcrday by William T.. Smythe, of
California. Judge j. Eraker, OF Cali
f%ornia, opposed the resolution on the
ground that it was Il move to in iect a
political issue into the proceedings of
the congress. The subject has been
disposed of temporarily. Another
resolution Of which the committee
sounded q death knell was n which

law in the interest of large land hold

one of the interesting features of
the National Irrigation congress at
Portland was the reading of a lengthy
letter from lanes j. Hill, president of
the Great Northern railroad, who was
unable to attend the meeting. The
substance of Mr.. Hills remarks APP
pears in these extracts:
GLOW this campaign was begun,
many of us still remember. and it is
right that the people should no, now
forget. The first work OF spying out
the land for irrigation, in Investigate
ing its possibilities, and above all in
getting its merits before the people
was done by the railroad companies.
vt first three, and u little later, five of
the great systems of the west united
and furnished each $1,000 a year as a
working fund to make the necessary
inquiries and to spread the facts
abroad. 1t was by the provision Of
these corporations, studying the inter-
ests and welfare of the west, searching
for means to increase the tillable area,
the wealth, the population and the
prosperity of the country tributary to

Crops Ruined BY Storm.

ST. PAUL, Aug. 22.-Devastation,

Chinese Make Threats.

VICTORIA, B. c., Aug. 22.-Advices
were received by the steamer Shaw.
NUT, that San Francisco Chinese sent
q lengthy cablegram to ministers of
the Chinese foreign Office, threatening
them with assassination if they op.
posed the boycott against American
goods. The cablegram which pur.

residents in America" stated that a
"brave" hero would be sent to punish
them. San Francisco Chinese replied
that they were doing all possible to

PEACE NEGOTIATIONS DELAYED.
President Roosevelt Sends Private Mes.
sage To Russian Representatives.

PORTSMOUTH,. N. H., Aug. o.
President Roosevelt is energetically
continuing his efforts to save the De ace
conference from shipwreck. The sen.
sation OF the day was a mysterious
visit paid by Nj. Witte and Baron
Rosen to the navy yard. where Mr..
Pierce delivered to them a message ia
writing from President Roosevelt
which had been brought from Oyster
Bay by a confidential messenger
named McGaw. Then for three hours
NJ. Witte and Baron Rosen remained
a, the yard, and it is believed we're in
direct or indirect communica alton with
the president. After their return to
the hotel they absolutely declined to
make any statement. 1t Is assumed
the presidents message was the result
of Baron Kaneko's visit to Oyster Bay
yesterday.
The following official bulletin was
issued at 1920 q. m:
lowing to the impossibility of
finishing before 3 o'clock this after.
noon the work OF preparing the pro.
tocols, the meeting of the conference
today has been adjourned until $50
o'clock Wednesday morning."
The official reason assigned for the
postponement of today's meeting-that
the secretaries had not yet completed
the work of drafting the protocols for
submission for the signatures of the
envoys--is true, but there is a more
potent reason. MIR. Witte has not
yet received final word from St. Pc.
tersburg. 1t was expected this morning.
1t did not come, and therefore MIR.
Whites secretary, who was hard at
work upon the Russian protocol, went
to Mr.. Sato, the Japanese secretary,
and suggested the postponement. 10.
mura approved and the announcement
was issued.

Makes Charges Of Graft.

VERNAD, Utah, Aug. 22.-Frauds of
a gigantic character against the gov.
eminent involving nearly 100, 600 acres
of land in the Uintah reservation, for
which entries are now being made are
charged by p. &. Clark, who has re-
sided on the reservation for II years,
serving four years as agent at Ouray
and four years last past as chief
ranger and chief Of the Indian po-
lice.
Clark says: Thousands of acres
OF fine. irrigable land have been
awarded to dead Indians. The reser.
walton of 240, 600 acres of land for the
use Of Indians for grazing is an out.
rage and insult to intelligent people.
The redskins never did have, and
never will have use for any such i'm.
mems tracts.

it was that some one might secure it

money by ~sub-leasing it to sheep and
