Hopkins Reads Report.

There was a tedious wait until the
platform committee could be heard
from, on the committee on resolutions.
Senator Hopkins made the report. His
voice could not be heard 20 feet away.
though the convention was very quiet
until cries OF louder, louder" caused
some confusion. There was some i'm.
provement then.
The first applause came with the
mention OF the name OF Roosevelt.
The reading was slow and dry.
The first burst OF applause for any
part OF the platform was the plank
declaring for the integrity Of the
courts. There were cries OF NO. :"
when the anti-in1unction feature was
read. The whole anti-injunction plank
was cheered.
A lift was made by Senator Hop.
kins, when ne concluded. Mr.. Cooper.
OF wisconsin, then took the platform
TO read the minority report. Before
he began. Chairman Lodge announced
that the previous question had been
called for. The motion was put and
carried by a close vote. This puts q
stop to any long or acrimonious de-
bate on the platform. Mr.. Lodge an
nounced that each side would be CIV
en- 90 minutes 20 present their side OF
the case, and that Chairman Hopkins
would then have an opportunity 70
close for the majority. Mr.. Cooper
then began the reading Of the minor
ity report He was the only man TO
sign II. He made a much better hit
than Mr.. Hopkins. He has good
voice and his points could be clearly
heard.

A demand for better supervision Of
the interstate commerce commission
was made. The minority believe the
Intellectual work Of the commission in
the regulation Of common carriers has
been made manifestly absurd by the
lack OF congressional support. A de-
mand is made that congress support
the commission with such laws that
will result In reaonable and just rail-
road rates. This was greeted with
mild applause.
The policy Of the railroads is bit
terly attacked. the treatment Of the
public has been that Of oppression
and is intolerable. The minority want
an immediate revision OF the tariff
along lines which will equalize the
cost of production here and abroad
and on a just and scientific basis. The

Big Reservoir Planned,

Florence, Colo.-When the plans of
the Rito Reservoir and Big Lake Res
ervoir and Ditch Companies are exc
cuted, more arid land in southern Colo
RADIO will be placed under irrigation.
A large dam will be built to be known
as the Rito storage reservoir. The
height will be $50 feet, the capacity
35,000,000 feet, and it will be built of
solid masonry. Claim is made for
water for domestic, irrigation and pow
er purposes. This reservoir will catch
the flow from Texas creek, Big Lake
Creek, Big Lake reservoir and sub.
terranean streams. The probable cost
is $4,000. The Big Lake reservoir
will be twenty feet high and will also
be constructed of masonry. The to-
tai impounding capacity will be 30..
100000 cubic feet of water. These res.
ervoirs and bitches will supply water
to several thousand acres of land in
the Arkansas valley now unproductive.

Quartz and Gunnell hills, by which the
Newhouse tunnel, now 17,470 feet long,

At every station we saw great
crowds of people and passed trains
packed like sardines. Our interest
was profound when we learned that
they were pilgrims just starting on
their long and tiresome journey to
Mecca. They were bound for Port
Sand where they would take ship for
Jaffa. from there travelling to Mecca
by camel and horseback, though the
great majority go all the way across
the desert on foot, thereby attaining
added merit. Beside assured saliva
ton, trip to Mecca gives a man the
right to wear q turban of green, the
prophets own color, and the title of
Hadji, and when he returns to his
home, he would quite naturally fresco
over his shop or house door the his

IN CROWDS.

Washington.-Just ten minutes, Of
ficially, before the hands Of the big
round clock in the chambers Of the two
houses Of Congress pointed to the hour
OF midnight Saturday, the first session
Of the Sixticth Congress came to
close. In the house the closing hours
were characterized by singing Of songs
by Republicans in honor OF Speaker
Cannon and by Democrats in the inter
est of William J. Bryan. The excite
ment, which was great at times, finally
subsidized and the session closed with
good fellowship among the members.
The last days OF the Senate will be
memorable on account OF the NIL
buster of Messrs. La Toilette, Stone
and Gore against the emergency cur
rency bill by the remarkable interpre-
tations of the rules which go far to es-
tablish a cloture in a body noteworthy
for the freedom OF debate and by the
final passage of the currency bill.
The concluding sentence OF the vice
president, 1.-The chair now declares the
Senate adjourned without day." deliv-
cred precisely at 11:50 O'Clock, was
greeted with general applause. Good
byes were quickly said and the floor
Of the Senate was deserted within a
few minutes after the fall Of the gavel
in the hands of Mr.. Fairbanks.
The President, shortly before ten
o'clock, signed the compromise curren-
cy bill and presented the pen he used
in afflxing his signature to Representa-
tive Wilson of Chicago.
The closing hours in the House were
marked by unusual scenes. Before the
night had advanced very far number
of Republicans invaded the center aisle
carrying aloft large-sized lithograph
Of Speaker Cannon, which was sus-
pended from a long-handled broom
carried by Representative barchfeld
of Pennsylvania. They marched to the
tune of Tramp, Tramp. Tramp, the
Boys are Marching" after which they
struck up America" Meantime some
one left the building ana returned
with a heavily mounted picture of Will

from broomhandle, was held up and
carried by Representative Houston of
Tennessee and was followed by many
Democrats, singing.
Over fifty correspondents in the
press gallery alternated with members
in singing popular airs. Representative
Burnett of Alabama greatly enter
tanned the House with old-time planta-
ton songs.
At 11:49 Speaker Cannon raped for
order and delivered a brief farewell
address.

Port Said is a town Of some impor-

in the flying glimpse we caught of it
in the course Of q wild. early-morning
ride to catch the train for Cairo. we
were impressed by Its dirt and noise
more than by anything else.
The ride to Cairo was tiresome for
many reasons. chiefly because of the
dust and flies, and a family who
shared the compartment with us, to-
gether with a mountain OF luggage.

annoyances. for were not the scenes
