From the great lakes to the mouth of
the Mississippi there should be a deep
water way, with deep waterways leading
: from it to the east and the west. Such a
waterway would practically mean the ex-
tension Of our coast line into the very
dams should be used to produce hundreds
of thousands of horsepower as an Incl
nual value OF the unused water power of
the United States perhaps exceeds the an
nual value Of the products of all our
mines. As an incident to creating the deep

developed than at present, not only in the
states OF the great plains and the Rocky
mountains, but in many others, as, for
Atlantic and gulf states, where it should
go hand i'm hand with the reclamation of
swamp land.
Public Lands.
The land law system which was de-
signed to meet the needs of the fertile and
well,watered regions of the middle west
has largely broken down when applied to
the dryer region of the great plains, the
mountains, and much of the Pacific slope,
where a farm of 100 acres is inadequate
for s~elf-supporf. In these regions the sys-
tenn lent itself to fraud. and much land
passed out OF the hands Of the govern
ment without passing into the hands of
the home-1naker.
Some sucf. legislation as that proposed
is tial in order to preserve the great
stretches of public. grazing land which
are unit for cultivation under present
methods and are valuable only for the
forage which they supply. These
stretches amount In all to some 800, 0G0, 600
acres. and are open to the free grazing of
cattle, sheep. horses and goats, without
restriction. Such a system. or rather
such lack of system. means that the
range is not SO much used as wasted by
abuse. As tlie west settles the range be-
comes more and more ~over-grazed. Much
of it can not be used. to advantage unless
it is fenced. for fencing is the only way
by which to keep in check the owners of
nonlad f1ocks which roam hither and
and leaving q waste behind So that their
presence is incompatible with the pres
ence of honle-ruakers. The existing
fences are all Illegal.

YESTERDAY'S STOCK MARKET
Makes But Feeble Response to Any
 News DeVeIopments,

New York, April 25.-The stock mar ket made but feeble response to-day to any news developments, the determined abstention of operators on any impor- tant scale alone marking the state of speculative sentiment. That remained vaguely formed and hesitating in the highest degree. An important factor in making this condition is the unsatis- factory news from the wheat crop. Present con'iitions in the winter wheat belt are recognized as unsatisfactory, and the news from there is being watched for developments which may change that condition. No such news was received to-day and the evidence of strength in the wheat market was a burden on the stock market. The reduction of the Bank of England and discount rate was of no effect, prob ably because it had been foreseen. The Bank of France retained it's recent dis count rate and, while there was no such certainty felt that it would be re- dueed as in the case of the Bank of England, there was some expectation held of such action. The Bank of France, in fact. made a good showing. The Imperial bank of Germany showed a strong recuperation and discounts eased both in Berlin and London. For eign exchange was slightly easier here. London continued to sell securities here however, to an extent sufficient to weigh on the very narrow market. The announcement was made during the day of the coming dissolution on May 1st of the syndicate which underwrote $35, 100000 of Lake Shore debenture bonds in February, 1906, These bonds have been quoted well under the un- derwriting price and receded sharply to-day on the understanding that the largest part of the issue had been un- marketed and would be distributed to syndicate members. The incident ser we'd as an unpleasant reminder that much remained to accomplish towards bond market. Some special significance attached to the notable weakness of

DEATH OF KEARNEY.
Sand Lots Orator Passes Away in Cal

Sand Lots Orator Passes Away in Call
 ifornia.
 San Francisco, April 25, - Dennis Kearney, the celebrated sand lots" orator, died at his home in Alameda last night. Kearney was born in Oak mount, Ireland, and came to America when eleven years old. He arrived in San Francisco in 1869 and was captain of one of the largest vessels in the for eign trade at the age of nineteen.
 In 1875 he began an agitation among the laboring element which resulted in the passage of the Geary act which ex- cluded Chinese labor, "The Chinese must go,' was his war cry.
 His speeches attracted much atten- ton, probably because of their vio- lence more than anything else. He was man of little education. On one occa- sion he served forty days in jail for a speech.
 In 167S Kearney organized a party known as the workingmen's party, which achieved It's first victory at the polls the same year.

The First Burial of chinaman in

The First Burial of a Chinaman in
 This State.
 Recently in the state papers appeared an announcement of the funeral, with Christian services and Christian burial, of Chinaman in New Britain, and coupled with 1t was the statement, which went the rounds of the papers, that this was the first funeral of a Chinaman in Connecticut at which Christian services were held. This statement it appears, is erroneous, as the following facts obtained by the Journal and Courier will attest:
 Wang Que Tong died December F, 1882, aged twenty years. His funeral was held in Theodore Keiler's rooms on Orange street, and the services were conducted by Rev. pr. Newman Smyth, of Center church. Eleven fears after ward Mr. Keller shipped the remains to China.
 Fong Shong died in the New Haven hospital in the fall of 1896. His funeral was held in Clifford chapel the services being conducted by Rev. Edwin Poteat, of Calvary Baptist church.
 Cheong John Lee, of this city, died on November 26, 1904 Rev. James De- Wolf Perry officiated at the funeral, which was held In St. Paul's church. MT. Lee was proprietor of tea store for years in this city, part of the time on Broadway.

the Chicago Great Western issues, which was attributed to the critical re port on its capitalization by the Min nesota legislative committee. Some anx- iety was expressed lest Minnesota's example should be used as a precedent in other eases. The stock market had some benefit from the late reaction in the wheat market, although that move ment was due to realizing of profits in wheat and was without change in the character of the crop news. The days net changes were trivial, almost with out exception.

ITS WATERS THE PUREST.
Claims Of Lake Superior Are Borne
Out BY Analysis.

The water in Lake Superior is the
purest B. Stbe great lakes, according
to testE ~ the government. Lake
Erie eoatsins. the largest percentage
of fncrustants. The analysis show
that the waters hold in solution vary
ing quantities of calcium and mag
nesium compounds. which from their
tendency to form scale or incrusta-
tions on boilers are called incrust-
ants. Named in the order of the total
incrustants, beginning with the low
est. the lakes rang as follows: Superb
or. Huron, Michigan, Ontario. Erie.
The waters of Lake Michigan and
Lake Huron are nearly identical In
quality and the same may be SAID OF
those of Lakes Ontario and Erie. Lake
Superior. however. carries just about
half the amount of incrustants borne
nv the other lakes. The reason TOT
this variation Is found in the geologi-
cal formation that surrounds the
lakes. The streams flowing into
lake SUPERIOR drain areas COM
uosed chiefly of crystalline rocks,
which yield scant quantities OF miner
al water flowing through them. Lake
Erie is highest in incrustants because
Il receives not only the waters OF
lakes Michigan and Haron, but the
drainage from immense areas OF sedi-
Inentary rocks in Indiana and Ohio
and the province OF Ontario.
