MUST MOVE RAILROAD.
Government Negotiates with o. r. &
NJ. for Washtucna Coulee.


: Washington, April AUST as soon
as the government reaches satisfact-
ory agreement with the O. R. & N. Co.
regarding the removal of the railroad
tracks from the bed of Washtucna cou-
lee, in Eastern Washington, steps will
be taken looking to the construction of
the big Palouse irrigation project. The
government is ready to go ahead, but
can do nothing as long as the railroad
occupies this coulee, for one of the es-
sential features of the Palouse project
is the conversion of Washtucna coulee
into an immense storage reservoir.
At the present time representative
of the reclamation service is in confer
ence with representative of the Har-
riman interests, in the hope of agreeing
upon figure which will compensate
the railroad company for moving its
tracks to higher ground, and which
will, at the same time, not be consider.
ed an imposition on the government
The railroad company has stated that
$350,000 was fair price for removing
its tracks; the reclamation service be-
ieves that this is more than it woulo
actually cost to perform the work, anc
is not willing to pay that price.

Chicago, March 29.-The Federal

ment against Thomas ]. Connors, gen.

ness summoned to appear before the
jury investigating the beef trust.7 Mr..

The Indictment charges that John
Edward Shields, of Brooklyn, former

before the grand jury, was approached,
favored and entertained by Mr.. Con-
ners, and specifically states that on

FAILS IN SPEED TRIAL.
Torpedo Boat Destroyer Makes Final
Effort on Puget Sound,


Seattle, April Twenty-Five knots
was the average speed made by the tor
pedo-boat destroyer Goldsborough on
her final trial held in the waters of
Elliot bay this afternoon. On the fifth
lap of the mile course the craft made
29.4 knots for half mile, but she
failed to keep it up, and from the re-
port of the trial board there is little
hope that she will ever be able to de-
velop an average of more than 25 knots
True to her reputation, the Colds
borough featured the trial with series
of accidents. They were of minor
character, however, consisting only of
trouble with her auxiliary engines and
the blowing out of packing in her steam
connections. It cannot be determined
what the Navy department will do re-
garding the Goldsborough until after
the result of the trial is submitted to
the bureau at Washington. The trial
board was composed of J. v B. Blocker,
captain of the Bremerton navy yard
and president of the board; ]. B. Buret,
naval constructor at the yard; Com
mander Stacy Potts, head of the steam
engineering department; Commander
R. NJ. Doyle, of the Philadelphia. and
Lieutenant B. II. Fish, of the Phila-
delphia, who acted as recorder of the
trip.
Lieutenant G. C. Davidson and his
crew from the Paul Jones, another tor
pedo boat destroyer, were in charge Of

John Day River May Iffigate
100000 Acres.
LARGE TRACTS ARE WITHDRAWN
Engineer Davis Proposes to Water a
Large Section South of the
G oumbia River.

Washington, April 1.-The prospect
for government irrigation in the UNA
tilla country has materially frightened
in the last few days, since the receipt
of report from Edward I. Davis, as
sistant engineer in charge of the Una
tilla project. After making exhaustive
topographic surveys, Mr.. Davis reports
that he has devised scheme by which
he believes it will be possible to irri-
gate anywhere from 1000 to $50, 1000
acres of extremely fertile land lying
just south of the Columbia river in
Umatilla, Morrow, Sherman and Gill
liam counties.
1t was originally intended to utilize
the fioodwaters of the Umatilla river
for irrigating these lands, but an ex-
haustive search failed to find any feas-
ible demsite on that stream. Engineers
found that the bed of the stream was
of such loose structure that no reser-
tOlI COulu Uc UulIb GudU WOulu AOlO
water. But Mr.. Davis has discovered
what he believes to be feasible plan
whereby the government can store the
flood waters of the John Day river and
by long canal divert it onto the land
originally intended to be irrigated from
Umatilla river. While his plan ii
probably more expensive than woule
be the original Umatilla project, had il
been feasible, it seems to present the
sonly solution of this great irrigation
problem.
AS soon as convenient Mr.. Davis
plan will be submitted to the board O.
reclamation engineers, who will go ovel
the ground and determine upon its feas
ibility. Reports seem to indicate tha
there is plenty of water in the Joh1
Day river to irrigate at least 200, ,00(
acres of very rich land. The reclama
tion service is very anxious to construct
an irrigation system in the Umatills
country and is hopeful that Mr.. Davis
plan will prove practicable.
The Withdrawals yesterday under thi
project are desired either for irrigation
or for rights of way. The new plan
call for an extensive system of canals
and the government, as far as possible
-endeavors to protect rights of way o
this character, to prevent conflict will

WAITING FOR cAsTRo's LETTER
Government Will Continue Negotia-

Government Will Continue Negotia-
tons Unless It Is lnsolent.
Washington, March 2S.-It has been
decided to await the reception of the
exact text of President Castro's refusal
to accept Minister Bowen's arbitration
proposition before proceeding further
with the negotiations in this line. It
is realized that there may only be a
fair difference of opinion as to whether
or not the Venezuelan response was
couched in discourteous language, and
it may be that at this distance from
the seat of negotiations and after the
lapse of few days the words which
appeared to Mr. Bowen to be insolent
will admit of different construction.
The disposition is to move circum-
specify at least at this end, and, unless
President Castro chooses to force an
issue by another move at Caracas, it is
beliveed that some time will be con-
sumed in reaching settlement.

Asked to Resign by Direction Of

FREE HAND In REORGANIZATION
All Commissioners Now in Washington
Comply with Request, Which Is
CabIed to Governor Davis.

Washington, March 80. - The first
practical step having in view the re-
organization of the Panama canel COM
mission was taken today, when, in
compliance with instructions from
President Roosevelt, Secretary Taft re-
quested the members of the commits
sion to tender their designations. This
request was promptly complied with
by the members of the commission now
in Washington and their designations
will be in the hands of the president
tomorrow.
The purport of Mr.. Taft's letter re-
questing the designations of the COM
missioners was sent to Major General
George W. Davis, retired, of the army,
governor of the canal zone, and also
one of the members of the commission,
and a prompt answer is expected from
him.
As indicated in the letter of Mr.. Taft,
the designations are requested in order
that the president may have free
hand in recognizing the commission
That the president has contemplated re-
organization has been known for some
time and he has been in consultation
with Mr.. Taft as to his future policy
in choosing its personnel and directing
its work. It was believed originally
that better results might be accom-
plished by the appointment Of a small
er commission than now existing, bu
a recent opinion of Attorney Genera
Moody held that under the law, tn,
president was required to name sever
members in all. The appointment
probably will be announced during tn,
progress of his Southern trip.

sion, in addition to General Davis, ar

RUSSIA HAS OFFERED TERMS
Official Admission at ST. Petersburg
BIufing on Indemnify.

Official Admission at St. Petersburg
-BIufHng on Indemnify.
+ st. Petersburg, March 29.-After a
meeting of the council of ministers,
which lasted until after midnight, the
positive information was given out
through an official channel this morn
ing that Russia has outlined the terms
under which she is prepared to nego-
tiate peace. It was asserted on the
same authority that, thanks to the good
Offices of the United States and France,
the question of bringing about the
termination of the war had assumed
tangible form and that preliminary
steps in the negotiations would be
taken in the immediate future.
Of the terms upon which Russia
would be willing to begin negotiations,
enough was known tonight that Russia
will maintain to the eleventh hour an
absolute opposition to any Japanese
proposal to impose direct indemnity
upon her conquered foe. It is also in
timated that demand for the cession
of Russian territory would meet with
the same vigorous opposition.
It is apparent, however, that the czar
himself is convinced of the Russian
situation in the Far East and of the in
ability of the Russians to resume hos
tilities with any chance of success in
the event of suspension of prelimin-
ary negotiations.
The opinion was expressed yesterday
by all exceptionally we'll informed for
eign diplomats here that the demon
strative declarations of the ministers
on the subject of indemnity and cession
of territory are intended as a balloon
d. essai to draw out opinion on the sub
ject in Toxic. Eventually, this, diplo-
mat asserted, Russia is prepared to ac-
cept peace on any terms that Japan
may be willing OF offer. d,

BOWEN is UPHELD.
Has Not Exceeded His Instructions in
Dealing with Castro.

Washington, March 3l.-Dr. Jose de
Jesus Paul, special representative OF
President Castro, had an interview to-
day with the president respecting the
issues that have arisen between Vene-
zuela and the United States. DR.. Paul
appears to believe that these issues
might be settled by change in the
American legation in Caracas, in view
of the strained relations between Presi-
dent Castro and Mr.. Bowen. He ls
awaiting the text of the communication
from President Castro to the American
minister relative to the arbitration pro-
posal, which document is en- route to
Washington by mail.
As an impression apparently prevails
to some extent, not only in Vennezu-
ella, but in this country, that Minister
Bowen has incurred the ill will of
President Castro by an excess of zeal
in the presentation of the American
claims against Venezuela, it may be
stated that official inquiry from Wash
ington has developed the fact that Mr..
Bowen merely presented to the Vene-
ZuelaQ government Iuo pTeClsc luot1 W.
tions sent to him from the State depart
ment relative to arbitration; that he
did not add to nor take from those in
structions in the slightest degree, but
in fact effaced himself, 80 the fact is
that. the State department and not Mr..
Bowen is responsible for this present.
ment which has so stirred the Vene-
zuelan government.
In view of the statement from DR.
Paul touching Mr.. Bowen, it can be
added upon the highest authority that.
in view of the administration, the
doctor has no official standing and
whatever communication he makes te
the president or State department can
not have any weight or bearing. i
President Castro is dissatisfied with
Mr.. Bowen, he must have recourse tt
the regular diplomatic channel ane
communicate that fact formally to thil
government, which cannot receive rep
resentations on the subject from othel
| sources.
