ST. PETERSBURG. July 20, a. M
An address to the country setting forth
the altitude of Parliament on the ag-
rarian question and the reasins for the
delay in the adoption OF solution OF
the problem was adopted by the lower
House this morning, but in an emascu-
lated form. with changes designed TO min
imiZe the revolutlonar features OF the
document as an appeal 10 the people
against the Government and TO shift the
emphasis 10 a note OF pacihcation. In
which the peasantry are eXhorted 10 re-
fFain from eXcesees and violence and TO
await Parl!amcnts decision in the
matter.
Held Long Session.
The vote was taken al the close OF
sitting that lasted continuously for
twelve hours. in which IL seemed prob
able that the address would be rejected
entirely by the combined votes OF the
right and left wings OF the House against
the center party, The address was only
saved from this fate by the abstentlon
from voting OF 101 members OF the group
OF toll and sympathlzers with that fac
tion. who favored a more radical mea-
sure. There were only i2i votes, all

OPINION is MODIFIED
Ordered by Supreme Court in Case Of
Sanford VS.. Kunkel Et Al.

The Supreme court denied the petition
for reheariug in the case OF Benjamin
Sanford et al, appellants. against Mark
Kunkel ct al, respondents. Thursday. but
the original opinion Is somewhat modi-
fed. The opinion ordered that house.
against which plaintiff had a lien and
which was removed by the Utah
Lumber company 10 satisfy a claim IL
had for materials furnished, be sold 10
satisfy claim OF the Morrison Merrill
company.
II is shown that this was an error. as
the evidence disclosed that the Morri
son Merrill company had claim against
land other than that upon which the
house was located. The opinion Is modi
fed TO the extent OF ordering the sale
OF the land from which the house was
moved TO satisfy the various claims. and
II the amount derived Is not sufficient TO
proceed with the sale OF the house
which WAS removed, as IL Is held by the
court that the removal OF the house does
not discharge the lien.
The opinion was written by Justice
Straup and concurred In by Justice Nc
Carly. Chief Justice Bartch Is OF the
opinion that rehcaring should be

has been completely reversed now, the channel to this Valley has become so much deeper than the old channel of the river that no water goes to the Gulf of California any more except when the river Is at very high stage.
 The developments of the past twelve months therefore, have completely changed the channel of the lower Col orado, and greatly modified the situa- ton regarding the transfer of the ter ritory affected to the United States. The diversion of the Colorado river and Its discharge into this valley has already inflicted considerable damage to the property of American citizens. Some of these citizens have reported the matter to the Department of State, at Washington, and filed claims against Mexico for redress. Mexico sent corps of engineers to the scene last November. These gentlemen doubt less reported to their government, and recommended a course of action. The following dispatch to the Associated Press from the city of Mexico under date of March 29th, puts an entirely new light on the hitherto dark subject:
 MEXICO ClTY, Mex, March 29,-lt Is reported in official circles that the Mexican government is preparing to open negotiations looking to the sale of Lower California to the United States.
 Interest in the proposition is espe cially keen in the territory concerned.
 Advices received from La Paz and other places in Lower California say there will be little if any opposition to such transfer.
 There are several large mining com panies in the peninsula which are oper- ated by Americans. They are espe- cially deslrous that the Stars and Stripes shall float over the territory. A Boston corporation Is among the

They bought 100000 acres of land In Mexico. as a sort of right of way for their canals, and for mulated plans for diverting the water from he river In the United States, and transporting It through Mexico, while still retaining control of 1t. in other words they tried to get around the difficulties presented by complying with the laws ot both Nations. The controversy with the United States over the ownership of the water, and the contract with Mexico by which the Mexican corporation was granted ten thousand cubic feet of water, per sec ond, by the Mexican government. are matters of such recent history that all are familiar with it. This concession was granted on May 18th, 1904. and Is therefore, less than two years old.
 Acting under this concession the Mexican corporation, on October 9th. 1904, made the lnclsion In the west bank of the Colorado river. about four miles below the American line., which has become historical as the famous Mexican intake. It Is not necessary to recount the progressive diversion of the river at that point. Suffice 1t to say that in just one years time, almost to day, the old channel of the Colo rado river became dry ground below this point and the entire flow of the river was diverted and turned to this Valley. Formerly, no water reached this Valley, or flowed into the Salton sink except at the time of extreme flood stage of the Colorado river.
 In 1902 no water came down either Alamo channel or New river and there was no "overflcw." This condition

LOWER CALIFORNIA
A Dispatch From Mexico Says the Territory May Be Sold to the US.

Ever since the possibility of lrrIgat- Ing the Colorado desert from the Colo rado river was first investigated, more than fifty years ago. the question of the purchase of Lower California by the United States has been recognized as desirable and has been agltated from time to time. This proposition was mentioned by the board of army engineers, who In 1854, made an ln- vestlgatlon and reported on the geo. graphical conditions of this part of the country. These men ran levels from the Colorado river to this Valley and found natural course for water to fol- low over the bottom lands in Mexico, from the Colorado river to this Valley
 In those days irrigation was in its infancy In the United States. so but little stress was laid on its value, the principal feature dWelt on by the report being the possible effect on the climate by the filling of Salton basin with wa ter. Not very long afterwards, or dur Ing the early sixties, Dr. Wozencraft of San Bernardino, evolved an irrga- ton scheme for the reclamation of the Colorado desert, and as part of his plan included the purchase of Lower California, or at least, enough of it to permit the water from the Colorado to be brought to this Valley on American territory.
 Nothing came of pr. Wozencraft's plan, however, and the matter seems not to have been mentioned again, ex- >cept In general way, until quite re- gently, The California Development company when it undertook the work

 CONGRESS MAY NOT BE WILLING
 WASHINGTON, March 29,-If the United States government acquires Lower California It will be necessary for the Secretary of State to negotiate treaty with the Mexican ambassador for the transfer of the territory 10 this country, After treaty Is negotiated and ratified 1t will be necessary for Con- eress to appropriate funds with which to pay for the territory
 Nothing is known here about the project, and It is extremely doubtful if Congress will agree to the purchase of any more territory for some years to come.
 It will be remembered that during the government ownership agitation in 1904, when the fact that the Recla- nation Service could not expend their funds in foreign country was pointed out. 1t was proposed to purchase a small strip of territory, just sufficient for the canal right of way We were then assured that 1t was provided in the Mexican constitution as treason, punishable with death, for anyone in Mexico to propose to sell any part of the territory of that country, no matter how little. So as long as we believed that, the question seemed settled Now, however. the matter appears in a different light,
 Since the publication of this dispatch from Mexico City the Mexican con- suls at both San Diego and Los An geles have been interviewed on the subject and have both stated that all that Is necessary is for the Mexican congress to pass law authorizing the sale and 1t will be done. So the myth of the Mexican constitutional provision isn't working anymore. So much for that. The Colorado river is still "do- ing business" and Mexico is still liable for the damage 1t does to American citizens in this Valley. It has been known for some time that the large land owners in Lower California were favorable to annexation to the United States and also that many people In this country favored 1t as step toward solving the questions involved in the use of the waters of the lower Colorado for irrigation. It is very encouraging to the people of this Valley to learn that this movement has reached the point to be publicly favored in official circles in Mexico. It was apparent to all who talked with the members of the Committees on Irrigation that were here last June that they looked upon the purchase of lower California as a desirable solution of our irrigation problems and were heartily in favor of it. With the subject as well under stood as it is the governments should have no difficulty in getting together and making the necessary treaty for the transfer. Locally 1t would be a great thing for the Imperial Valley and especially for Calexico. Itwould settle all phases of the water question and oDao the ,,,o,, fo. tba f,,U rontroI and
