Irrigation in Far West.
Philadelphia Enquirer.

When it is considered that only
three years have elapsed since irrl-
cation in the west was taken up as a
national measure, it would seem that
the members of the irrigation con-
gress, now in session in the south
west, are a little hasty in condemn
ing the government for not acting
more rapidly in the matter. A good
deal has been accomplished in the
way of surveys, but the western peo-
pie, as usual, are in hurry. This
is one of the great public works
which does not lack for money, since,
by law, all receipts from sales Of pub
lie lands in the arid states go into
the irrigation fund, which is now
about $4,000, 900 and rapidly increas-
ing.
Government engineers are proven
bially slow in their movements, but
in this case there seems to be some
reason for caution, as the subject
is to be treated in the large and the
minutest data must be secured.
Enough is known, however, to indl-
cate that the water in the arid states
can be SO conserved as to provide
homes for twenty millions of people,
or almost the population of all Italy.
Land that is now utterly valueless IS
being made worth SIoo an acre. That
seems a large sum, but it is below
the general average of irrigated land
in California. where 5000 an acre Is
not an uncommon price. By means
of irrigation the farmer is able to
proceed on a sure basis. regardless
of what the weather may be.

TRAINED WAR DOGS.
Intelligence Exhibited by Hospital
Cannes in Battle.


The Russian government is in COM
munication with Major Hautonville
Richardson, retired officer Of the
British army, on the subject of his
supplying a canine ambulance corps
Tor the far east.
Major Richardson considers that
the best dogs for ordinary work in
the field are black or sable collies.
Intelligence, not breed, however, is
the chief consideration. The Rus
slams have adopted the Caucasian
dog; France favors the ''smugglers'
dogs" we'll known on her frontiers;
Austria employs Dalmations; Tur-
key finds Asiatic sheep dogs most
suitable, and Germany generally Sc
lects collies.
The trained dog can be employed
IN a number of ways. He may act
as scout, as an outpost to the out
posts; in an actual engagement his
services are readily available for the
transport of reserve ammunition to
the firing line; in seige or invest
ment he may be used as sentry, and
in this capacity would prove inval-
liable in guarding against surprise.
But it is in ambulance work that
the dog may provide the greatest SER
vice to man, and it is to this special
and important phase that Major
Richardson has devoted many years,
training his dogs to perform their
life saving work with almost human
skill and intelligence.
The beginning of training for field
service is to take the dog at night
to some quiet spot and have an assis-
rant creep up slowly toward dog and
master. The dog scents the ap-
proach and gives warning by growl-
ing, barking being always checked by
the trainer, since in war time it would
betray the dogs presence to the
enemy.
In ambulance work, the dog, hnd-
ing wounded man, lies down beside
him and the man, if not too seriously
injured, helps himself to the brandy
carried by the dog in flask upon its
back.
The dog also carries bandages,
waterproof sheet, a pencil and piece
OF paper. The wounded man scrib-
bles hasty note to inform his COM
rades in which part of the field to
And him, then, intimating to the dog
by a wave of his hand that it is to
return, the dog dashes off again to
the ambulance headquarters.
Help is dispatched at once, the
ambulance party being led to the spot
by the dog ITSELF The wounded man
had in the meantime been enabled
roughly to bandage his wounds, and
perhaps, to save his life.

.F|REMEN S STRIKE
SEEMS INEVITABLE
OFFICIALS OF NEW HAVEN ROAD
REFUSE TO YIELD.
The Firemen Have Already Voted,
Five to One, in Favor of
Strike.

New Haven, Conn, Feb. 1.-THE re-
ply of the subcommittee of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford rail-
road directors to the demands of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
was brought to this city this afternoon
by John c. Parker, secretary of the
board of directors and Immediately
transmitted to Timothy Shea, third
vice grand master of the firemen's
brotherhood, to whom it was address
ed.
The reply, after stating the points at
Issue between the road and firemen,
said that the directors committee
could not see their way clear to grant
ing the demands. They sustained
President c. S. Mellin. of the road to
whom the fremen had already appeal
ed without success.
The ballots of members of the broth
erhood of locomotive firemen, on the
question of a strike in case their de-
mands were refused, were all cast last
Tuesday. They have been counted and
stand in favor of a strike by major
ity of five to one. The question OF
calling a strike is therefore up to Vice
Grand Master Shea who tonight stated
that he was not able to say what
would be the next move in the mat
ter.
He said a meeting Of the firemen's
grievance committee would be held to-
morrow. 1t is learned that a strike
might possibly involve other employees
on the road and this is the cause of the
| apparent non-action of the officers OF
the firemen in charge of the situation
There is believed to be no doubt in
view of the vote. that strike will
| eventually be called.

TORPEDO BOAT
IN A BLIZZARD
TOSSED BY WAVES AND BATTER.
ED BY ICE FLoES.
Swept Out to Sea 1870 Miles, But Ar.
rived at Port Arthur in Ex-
lent Condition. ..-

Norfolk, Va, Febs 17.-Encased in
an armor of ice and-battered and worn,
the torpedo boat Blaliely arrived at the
Norfolk navy yard,thl afternoon. On
her way from Newport News, the
small craft was caught in a blizzard
in Delaware Breakwater. She was
tossed by waves and battered fiercely
by huge ice foes ana was finally swept
far out to sea.
The signal mast Of the helpless ves-
sci was one of the frr- Inings to go
overheard. 1t was then impossible to
summon help and the Blakely had to
battle along with the elements.
Lieut.. Charles b. Courtney, COM
mander of the vessel, graphically tells
the story of the struggle.
He says that huge waves, carrying
great quantities of broken ice, con-
tinually broke over the vessel and her
decks and freeboard were soon covered
with ice to the depth of several inches
1t became utterly impossible to drive
the Blakely in the teeth of the wind
and she kept on her seaward course
with great speed. Finally huge cake
of ice struck one of the smokestacks
and drove great dent in it.
When the weather had somewhat
abated and the Blakely had mastered
the situation it was found that she had
been driven $50 miles to sea. She was
then headed for here and the journey
was accomplished without further mis-
haps. The vessel is in excellent con-
dition considering the experience she
had.

TWO HORSES PERISH IN FIRE
Valuable Driving Team Owned by c. c. Horton
SuffoCated in Flames. Marrow Escape of Two
Race Horses the Property of Mr.. Horton.
FIRE CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE ELECTRIC WIRES

The magnificent driving team of bay
horses owned by C. G. Horton of the
Mckinley hotel were killed by fire
in the owners barn on South Court
street between Eighth and Ninth
streets last night at just about Z
o'clock. But a short while ago Mr..
Horton was offered $500 for the team
but refused the proposition. 1t is al
together probable that at least one
horse If not both were dead before the
fire in the barn had been discovered.
Two race horses owned by the McKin-
ley hotel man were saved.
The barn is located only half a
block away from the Central Engine
house and after the blaze, a fierce one
owing to the easily ignited contents
OF the stalls, had been discovered and
an alarm turned in nothing but val
liant efforts on the part of the firemen
prevented total destruction of the
property. Outside of the loss of the
valuable horses, the damage will not
reach to high figure.
The cause of the fire was due to a
defect in the electric light wiring. This

occurred over the door of one of the
stalls, which are located at the north
end of the barn. The horse therein
bore more signs of being roasted
than its fellow in the stall to the west.
At the back of the barn were kept
Major Mckinley" with a mark Of
2:24 and Tod Williams" 2:134.
These two horses were saved Just in
the nick of time, the latter animal
being nearly overcome by smoke as he
was led out of the rear entrance of the
barn.
About ten minuts3 before the fire
was discovered by a pedestrian, the
negro hostler had left the barn for his
supper. Nothing wrong was noticed
by him upon his departure. The fire
was entirely confined to the two box
stalls and the hostler's room on the
north side of the barn. The vehicles
stationed at the south side were en-
tirely unchanged. Last night Mr..
Horton could not give the exact
amount Of insurance which he carries
upon the property or horses. The
majority of the loss however is cover
ed by insurance.

The PASSING OF SERG|US

closed Immediately after the author
tiles had been informed Of the assas-
sination.
The crowd which has collected on
the square where the assassination had
occurred grew denser as the afternoon
wore on. The police appeared unable
to place il under proper control and
frequent clashes took place between
students, who made no secret of their
sympathies with the bomb throwers,
and citizens who were Mortified at the
deed Presently a general fight was
in progress. The citizens were in the
majority and handled some of the stu
dents so roughly that judge, who
happened to be in the court house, Or
dered some of the officers to arrest a
number of their assailants.
Later several companies Of the
Ekaterinoslov regiment were detailed
to patrol the spot and order was re-
stored.
NEW STORIES TOLD.
New versions of both the arrest of
the bomb thrower and the manner in
\ accomplished ulo Nllu, al .
being circulated. Late last night a
man, who said he was an eyewitness,
informed the police that the bomb was
thrown into the carriage through the
window
One of the police officers who were
instrumental in arresting the assassin,
made the following statement to a
| local. news agency:
Immediately after the explosion we
saw several men running from the
scene. We arrested them before they
had gone many PAGES. One of them
was carrying revolver and when
overtaken and questioned, he did not
| deny that he threw the bomb.
"He was covered with blood from
head to foot. All he would say was
that he was very glad the grand duch-
ess was not in the carriage at the time
He refused to give his name and when
asked why he carried loaded revol-
yer said that he had intended to de-
fend himself.
He also admitted that he is one OF
the leading members of a socialist

CARS GRIEF
Over Death of the Grand
Duke Sergius Is
UnbOunded.
GREAT APPREHENSION

st. Petersburg, Feb. 1S.-The grief
of the czar over the assassination of
Grand Duke Sergius, knows no
bounds. When the first news reach
ed his majesty he was so overcome
that speech failed him and medical
attendance became necessary. For
more than an hour he was completely
Frustrated, unable to shed tear and
unable to receive the reports which,
setting forth in detail how his uncle
was killed by bomb, had been spec
tally prepared for him.
Later in the afternoon the car
somewhat recovered and called spec
ial session of the council of minis
ters, to take place at six o'clock,
Friday evening. But when the min
listers arrived the cZar was not able
to receive them and sent word to
them that he would see them Sat-
urday.
The czarina is in a deplorable state
as the result of the crushing news
from Moscow and throughout thd
palace CONSERVATION reigns.
The citizens of st. Petersburg re-
ceived the first news of the assas-
sination by means of a telephone
message to one of the newspapers.
The information spread with amazing
rapidity but among the populace it
did not create much surprise. For
many weeks it had been accepted
as a foregone conclusion that the
grand duke was doomed, and Satur.
days papers print the story that the
grand duchess had received many let
ters imploring her not to accompany
her husband on his drives through
the city, as his fate was sealed and
his enemies did not wish to spill in
nocent blood. The grand duchess Is
most beloved by the people of Rus
sia.
There is pale fear in the manner
in which the newspapers speak of
it, that, according to unavoidable pre-
| cedent, the cZar and all the grand
dukes and other members of the i'm
Derial family, must attend the funeral
Of the Grand Duke Sergius at the
Petropavlovsk fortress. 1t can be
| read between the lines that public
opinion credits the terrorists with a
plan to attempt grand battue upon
that occasion and the fact alone that,
when apprised of impending danger,
the Russian government knows how
to take precautions, somewhat allays
the fears of those who see no bright
ray in the future.
Revolutionary demonstrations oc-
Cured Friday afternoon outside of
Anitchkoff Palace and the house
which the Grand Duke Sergius occu.
pied during his recent stay in st.
Petersburg, Chanting the Marseil-
laise and singing other revolutionary
songs, the mobs surged up and down
in front of these buildings and as
quick as they were dispersed new
ones took their places. Many ar
rests were made in the course of the
| afternoon and evening.
