BILL
NEAR COMPROMISE
Senate and House Seem Likely to
Get Together on Refer
endum Plan, ..,->~

Washington, March 2S.-That the SEN.
ate and house will reach compromise
agreement on the statehood bill, which
will permit Arizona and New Mexico to
decide for themselves the question of
their admission as one state, seems a
correct conclusion from present indica-
lions. -.~.
The conferees met today for the sec
ond time, and while the session was de-
voted to what are termed the minor
amendments, there are indications that
a basis of agreement on the chief ques-
ton is suggesting itself naturally, and
| will result in the restoration of Arizona
and New Mexico to the bill with the
| Foraker amendment. Inquiry among
the senator's who opposed the original
house bill indicates that they will ac-
cept this compromise.
The senate amendment defining the
| limits of the prohibition territory in
| Oklahoma is regarded as the result of
a general agreement among all parties
| interested and is acceptable. Likewise
there seems little objection to the SEN
ate provision allowing lieu school lands
to be selected in place of school lands
found to be mineral lands. Other sen
ate amendments are to be considered

side on land after making entry. This
decision governed such cases for a
good many years. 1t was overturned,

CONGRESS DELAYS;
CANAL TYPE WAITS
Legislation Unlikely, and Presi.
dent Will Probably Have
the Responsibility.

Washington, March 2s.-Canal legis-
lation at the present session of congress
is regarded as extremely improbable,
even by the members Of the senate com
mittee which for two months has been
meeting nearly every day to investi-
gate conditions on the isthmus of Pan
anna and prepare itself to report a bill.
The committee is divided on the type
of canal to be constructed, and there
is no indication that the witnesses
called and the testimony taken have
tended toward harmonizing the views
of the members. >.......' -
Advocates of the lock-level canal
proposed by the minority of the board
Of consulting engineers are apparently
confident that this plan will be fol
lowed They have pointed out that if
the president, in his message trans
hitting the two reports of the board,
has given notice that the administra
ton will proceed with the construction
of the lock canal.
Engineers Differ.
Engineers who have been before the
to the feasibility of constructing at
Gatun the flight of three locks proposed
by the minority plans, and on this has
hinged in large part the examination
of the engineers. All of the advocates
of the sea-level project were outspoken
against the safety Of the locks at that
point, but the friends of the minority
plan have been greatly encouraged by a
cablegram from Chief Engineer Stevens,
declaring. that there could ben doubt
concerning the success of the Gatun
locks. Advocates of the lock canal de-
clared today that in view of the fact
that Mr.. Stevens had examined the site
since the testimony was given he is
in the best position to take. a positive
stand.
The witnesses who have testified be-
fore the committee have been about
evenly divided as to the type Of canal.
Left to President.
In view of the fact. that. the house
committee on interstate& and foreign
commerce is not inclined to accept the
testimony taken by the senate commit
| tee, it is believed that the house will
| not be ready for several weeks to take
up canal legislation. This adds to the
| probability that very little will be done
at the present session Of congress, and
| that the president and the canal com
mission will be left free to exercise
| their own judgment as to the type of
| canal to be built, in which event the
lock-level type would be adopted. =
| 1t is generally believed that the sen
| timent in congress is largely in favor
of building the waterway by contract
1t has been suggested that congress by
| joint resolution may take action in this
regard if canal bill is not agreed
| upon.

COAL LANDS
WITHDRAWN
TWO MILLION ACRES BELIEVED
TO CONTAIN FUEL HELD UP
FROM FURTHER ENTRY.
Lands Withdrawn Embrace Twenty
five Townships in the Evanston
District, Seven in the Douglas Dis
trict, Twelve in Cheyenne District
and Twelve at %Sundance.

The government has instructed the
geological survey to make a careful
examination of lands aggregating
1000. 900 acres in Colorado and Wyo-
ming for traces of coal, and has &C
cordingly withdrawn from entry this
amount by order of the secretary of
the interior, as 1t is believed that coal
lands of inestimable value abound in
coal can be found on these lands in
reasonably large quantities they will
be sold in accordance with the provis-
ions of the public land act. The gov
eminent may sell its coal lands at 500
an acre if within fifteen miles of a
railroad or $40 per acre If farther than
fifteen miles from a railroad.
Cause of the Order.
The new order has been brought
about by a conflict between the coal
prospectors and h~omesteaders over pos
session Of lands. Sometimes a home
steaded claim would be found to con-
tain coal and a prospecting miner
would then claim right and title to the
same despite the homesteader's entry.
During the last year discoveries of
new coal fields in Colorado and Wyo-
ming have not been i%nfrequent, and the
government officials knowing this have
ordered the investigation.
Filings Suspended.
This withdrawal means the tempo
rary suspension of filing on 1893 quar-
ter sections in Colorado alone. The
list of townships withdrawn by this
order follows:
In Wyoming-Evanston district, 25
townships; Douglas district, Z; Chey-
enne district, 70; Sundance district, ~,
and Lander district, "a townships.
In Colorado-Denver, IL; Leadville,

To IRRIGATE sHosHoNE LANDS.

State Engineer Clarence T. Johnston
and Governor Brooks are to be con
graduated upon the happy outcome of
their proposition to sell TO the best bid.
der the right to supply water to set.
tiers upon the lands o on to be thrown
open to entry upon the Shoshone res
ervation.
The plan was a daring one and in
volved n great deal Of risk on the part
OF the state engineers office. He was
not only charged with the Responsible
ty of performing the preliminary work.
but had to stand good for the money
expended in making the preliminary
surveys, The expense was something
like $4,000 and in case of failure the
state engineers office would be in an
unenviable position. On the other
hand, If the plan succeeded the people
would be supplied with water at a CON
siderably earlier date and the interests
OF the state would be subserved.
Those selecting lands would be in a
position to know just where the canals
would carry water and their choice of
lands would be materially affected.
The settlers interests and consequent
ly the interests of the state would be
set forward at least q year. Wyoming
would be ahead of her ~neighbors in
the matter of priority of water rights.
The great benefits to be derived more
than compensated for the risk to be
run.
The gentlemen to whom the right to
construct the canals and reservoirs has
been awarded are men of great means
and will undoubtedly carry the project
through without any trouble. The
terms upon which they have taken
the contract appear reasonable. For
cash, entrymen can get water rights
at $50 per acre, On Ave years time,
without interest, rights can be secured
at $50 per acre, and at ten years time
the price is fixed at $50, with interest
at the rate of 6 per cent on deferred
payments,
1t is understood that work will be
begun this year and that 1t will be
pushed through to completion with all
possible dispatch.
Under this contract the people who
settle on the Shoshone reservation and
pay cash for their water will get it
for less than two-thirds what it will
cost settlers under the Pathfinder pro
ject, Those who take the hve-year OPP
ton will get their water for perhaps
five dollars less than the price under
the government project and those who
take the ten-year option will pay about
the same amount.

sHosHoNT PUTS ON THE LID.

Some of the Wyoming papers pub
lished at registration points for Sho-
shone lands are disappointed over the
number of people brought into their
towns by the opening, They say that
thousands had been expected where
hundreds came and lament the fact as
indicating that Commissioner Richards
is to be blamed for the shortage. While
from the standpoint of loss OF patron
age to the hotels, restaurants and lodg-
ing-houses which had figured on reap
ing a harvest out OF the rush OF chance-
takers, the opening has not been all
that was expected, from the broader
viewpoint it does not appear that it is
to be at all viewed as a failure.
Since the determination of the right
to enter Indian lands by lot was fixed
upon by the department the object has
been to eliminate as much as possible
the element OF chance and confine the
registration to actual settlers. 1t has
been the custom for hordes to follow
these openings about the country and
enter the contest in the hope hat a
Intention of taking advantage of the
opportunity to secure a homestead.
Nine out of every ten have entered the
contest in the chance of picking up a
little easy money by selling out to act

In the case of the Shoshone drawing
this has been apparently avoided, and
it is a matter for congratulation rather
than complaint. The Shoshone oun
try has d homestead for every regis
tered applicant. The department has
long been working to reduce the draw
ings to exactly that basis. If Wyoming
has been able through this drawing
to secure an actual new settler for ev-

land 1t will be profit far more in the end

openings to huge lottery affairs. The
