General Smith says that there is abb

Japan is to acquire the Philippines and
that Luke Wright was appointed en-
bassador to Japan for the purpose of
negotiating the sale. Wright is the
best man for the place, in the gem

his merit alone. Wright understands
more fully the Oriental conditions than
any one man, for he has made close
study of the questions there during the
five or six years he was in the islands.

welcome the change. They realize now

to this belief among the Chinese so far
as they can be ascertained are, that
the priest was seeking to force a set

claims and disputes on behalf of his
mission. He was in some sort of a po-
sition to force the settlement because
of his rights of an official under this
treaty. In any event he had invited the
magistrate Chang to dine with him at

over. According to Chiangs statement

Washington, June 12.-The presi-
dent is displeased that congress de-
MED $4,000 for his travelling ex-
penses. He thinks 1t necessary for the
president to travel. He is unable to
pay his own expenses, and is opposed
to accepting passes. Many rich insti-
tutions want him and will pay his ex-
penses, but he wishes to visit a num-
Der of southwestern universities which
are unable to pay his necessary bills.
He is also displeased because con-
gress fails to furnish a good stable for
his horses. He will not keep his per-
sonal riding horses in the White House
stables and wants congress TO provide
fund for suitable stables in town
for the government stock necessary
for the use of the White House.

Yakima. June 12.--Although by no
'meaus all the land needed to insure
commencement of work on the Tieton
project by the government has been
insured. nevertheless engineers of the
reclamation service are measuring the
area of lands contracted for the Tie
ton project. Approximately, $4,000
acres will be reclaimed by this pro-
ject, of which about 95 per cent has
been subscribed. This is all the acre
age the government requires, but
some OF the land subscribed will be
shown by engineers to be unsuited.
which will necessitate additions to the
land already contracted.
d. C. Henney, f. Hobson and A. I.
Wiley, constituting a board of consult
ing engineers, will meet at North
Yakima or Portland July 2, and re-
view the plans and estimates of the
Tieton project and pass upon the suf-
ficiency. II the report is favorable
and the work is done by contract,
about five months will elapse before
actual work Is commenced on account
Of the period required for advertising.
W. II. Heilman, soil expert in the
employ of the service, will arrive here
about June Is. and examine the Tie
ton area. He will lay out the farm
units.
Abstracts are now being made of
the lands under the Sunnyside project.
These will be subject to review by the
attorney general. OF the acreage to
be reclaimed by the Sunnysde pro-
ject, less than the 95 per cent has been
obtained. Only about $4,000 or H.
900 acres have been signed up. The
first work to be done on the Sunny
side will be the construction of a dam
and head-works and the development
of distribution system for all lands
lying under the project.
