" O0L/ III. A.1)N IC ~
The amendment was defeated by a
vote of 80 to SO, the present rate of
$3.50 on refined sugar being retained.
Speech by Senator Cummins.
Senator Cummins, one of the pro
gressive" leaders, was the first speak
er of the day. He advocated the
wiping out of the differential duty in
the interest of refined sugar.
Pointing out the danger to beet
sugar development in the United
States by the continued admission of
free sugar from Porto Rico and
Hawaii and the Philippine Islands, if
the pending bill should authorize such
admission from the Philippines, Sena-
tor Cummins questioned the wisdom
of permitting cane sugar to eventu-
ally kill the beet-sugar industry, as
he said it might. He said he had no
doubt that Cuba would also in time
send her sugar here free of duty.
Lesson in Senatorial Courtesy.
That senators should address one
another in the third personals the
Senator from So and So'-and not
descend to personal pronouns, and
speak of one another in the second
person, was called to the attention of
the senate by Vice-President Sher-
man. A colloquy between Senator
Cummins and Senator Smith of Mich.
gan gave rise to this suggestion by
the vice-president.
II will be pardoned on account OF
my inexperience," said Senator Cum
Minis, "but the senator from Michigan
Is inexcusable."

About four years ago I suffered

A GREAT PROJECT. -'

Il GREAT PROJECT. -
At last the great gravity canal
project by which it is proposed to
solve the problem of providing wa
ter to irrigate about 100000 acres
of the rich valley land seems to be
about to materialize. The represen-
tative land men of Hidalgo county
have agreed to assess themselves for
the purpose of building this great
canal, and have organized for the
purpose of issuing bonds to raise the
money with which to construct it.
This will be a gigantic project, if
carried out along the lines proposed
by the engineers who have been
studying the subject and mapping
out the engineering features for the
land owners. 1t is expected by
means of this canal to do away with
a number OF the large canals already
built in Hidalgo county and to fur
nish water for all with this one i'm
mense system, which will include an
enormous reservoir, calculated to
furnish all the water that may be
needed to water 100000 acres of
land
With the successful consummation
of this project, the irrigation of an
immense area of the rich lands of
this valley will be assured. The
opening of this area to settlement
will soon fill the valley with hun
dreds and hundreds of farmers, ana
the Lower Rio Grande Valley will
soon be thickly populated with a
progressive and prosperous farming
population, while the many new
towns that have sprung up like mag
ic in the valley within the past two
years will all become cities of i'm
portanee.

Brownsville Hotel Man-Explains
That Trouble Is Due to Mistake.

has been looking around the valley
for some weeks, was arrested Thurs
day at mercedes on the charge OF

took, proprietor of the Miller Hotel
body of John Barge who died here
of Brownsville In his complaint,
Mr.. McClintock charges that on or
about May 29th on request of Mr..
A. Aggerbeck he cashed two drafts
on the State Bank of Chicago for
$50 each drawn by Davies in favor
of Aggerbeck. These checks were
endorsed by Aggerbeck and vouched
for by Davies. but in due time were
returned by the Chicago bank
marked mot sufficient funds" Da-
vies was arrested and brought to
Brownsville by Constable ]. B.
Pickett of Mercedes, and committed
TO Jail by Justice Gavito in default
of $500 bail.
When seen this morning at the
county jail. the prisoner declared
that the trouble was due to a mis-
take of his friend Aggerbeck. The
drafts, he said, were given to the
latter in payment of a personal
debt, with instructions that he was
not to use them until receipt OF
word that sufficient cash had been
deposited with the bank to meet
them. His balance at the time OF
writing the drafts, he acknowledged
was low, but he was expecting a
substantial deposit to be made fol
him within short time. Agger-
beck either misunderstood or dis
regarded the instructions and used
the drafts without waiting fol
word from Davies. The latter has
communicated with Aggerbeck, who
is thought to be in Chicago, and also
with other friends there, and says
he hopes to clear himself within q
few days.
The hearing viii be held before
