Puts Deputies In Rage.
The first disposition of the caucus of
constitutional democrats, which was in
session all the afternoon and evening
and at midnight had not been conclud
ed. was TO regard the refusal to receive
the deputation as a challenge and an
open affront, which was only answera-
BILE by a counter declaration of war.
The deputies were red with rage, but
after the first passion had cooled the
dealers realized the danger of too pre-

the task of bringing their enraged fol
lowers under control.

Mexico Given Part of
Water Rio Grande
River in Treaty.
LONG UNDER DISPUTE.
New Reclamation Plans Affect
Irrigation as Practiced
for Century.

Washington. May 21-Secretary
Root for the United States and Ambas-
sador Casasus for the Mexican govern
the use of the waters of the Rio Grande
which, if approved by the senate. will
remove what has been for 20 years
past a source of friction in the rela-
ton of the two countries.
Long Enjoyed Use.
For almost a century MeXicans liv-
ing along the lower river have made
large use of its waters for the purpose
of irrigating their lands But in recent
years private companies ON the upper
waters in the United States have by
construction of wing dams, diverted a
large part of the water TO this side of
the river The Mexicans have prefer
red claims for damages sustained, but
so far without success.
Would Take All.
Present plans for reclamation ser
vice have made it certain that practi-
cally all the water will be retained on
American soil, unless some proper
SCENE of division can be arranged. The
construction of $1,000. 900 dam across
the Rio Grande at Engle. New Mexico,
brought the matter to an issue, and led
to negotiations between the two coun-
tries which eliminated in the treaty
signed today.
Rights Recognized.
The underlying principle of the con-
vention is recognition of the common
law rights of MeXicans to use of 4 fair
share of the waters of the river, but as
the United States government is put
to the entire expense OF building the
great dam and canals, the Mexican
share is only fractional proportion
of the whole flow.
1t is estimated the impounded of the
waters will suffice TO irrigate about
100000 acres of otherwise arid land,
and it is stipulated that of this total
a portion of the water. sufficient to
make arabic about 25,000 acres of
land will be delivered on the Mexican
side of the border each year.
Guarantees Against Claims.
For its part. the Mexican govern
ment guarantees the United States
government against any suit for liabil-
ity on account of claims of individual
MeXicanS who have so far suffered
through the diversion of the water.
Some Oppose Treaty
Opposition to the treaty is expected
on the part of some western senators
who express the belief that either the
United States is entitled to all of the
water without compensation in view
of the great expense to which ii has
been put to work constructing irriga-
ton dams and canals, or that if the
Mexican right is to be recognized at
all. its title should be purchased out
right by a cash payment.

The reappointment Of J. FL. Butler

nature of a surprise, Mr.. Butler had
done his work so well, and had SO
pleased citizens of all parties, that he
had no opposition for reappointment,
and, even if he had, his record in the
Office was such that the president
would have reappolnted him in any

Guthrie, Dec. 6-The Democratic
caucus, which will meet this after
noon, will probably take up the ques-
tion of the fight between the Haskell
Murray-WillIams machine and the
Democratic lpress of the two terri
tories, led by the Oklahoman and the
Capital Of McAlester. The leaders Of
the party are beginning to realize
thar if the party goes into the cleo
tion with the press arrayed against
present leaders, a sad fate will await
the first ticket.
Haskell has gone so far as even to
threaten to withdraw from the Okla
homan correspondent the right OF a
correspondent to enter the hail. This,
it is felt, even by many of Haskelps
friends, is carrying matters somewhat
too far. An effort will therefore be
made to smoothe matters over, nC
at least to form q truce.
The prohibition quest ion also, IL i
expected, will be DISGUST In caucus
this afternoon. 1t is generally be-
lieved that the Democrats will favor
separate submission, tho there are
many out and out prohibitionists in
the party.
A number Of new propositions were
introduced In the convention this
morning, among them being one pro-
hibiting railroad bonuses.
