FARMERS MEETING TEST.
Question Of Feasibility Of irrigation
Law Now Being Settled.

Washington.-The acid test Of prac
tlcability of all the government rec
lamation work Is at hand. On April
there was due and payable into the
reclamation fund from the settlers on
the various projects, approximately
100000 for water rights. II the
farmers are able to meet their pay
ments, it evidences that the govern
ment is able to secure return on its
investment. If the payments are not
made. the law is a failure in one OF
its most important provisions and the
operation of the reclamation service
would quickly be brought to an end
But careful canvass Of the projects
on which water rights charges are
due indicates that the settlers, as a
rule, are able and willing to meet
them.

.ExILED EX-PRESIOENT DEAD
Nord Alexis, Who Was Compelled to
Abdicate and Flee From Hsyti,
Succumbs to Grim Reaper.

Kingston. Jamaica.-Nord Alexis,
ex-president of Hayti, died here on
May /, after brief Illness. His
health, however, had been consider
ably broken by the experiences Of
the past eighteen months, after he
was deposed and sent into exile. He
has been here since the revolution OF
1908, and possessed considerable prop
erty in Kingston.
A picturesque character was taken
from office when Alexis was COMPEL
ed to abdicate and fee from Hayti on
December 2. 1908. Port au Prince
was then in the hands of the revolu-
tionists, and General Antoine Simon,
who afterward became president, was
mraching up the peninsula with an
army of 5000 men.
Alexis was variously estimated at
from so to 100 years. He was a de-
scendant of one Of the Oldest families
in Hayti. He took part in many
wars.
Nord Alexis became president of
Hayti in 1902. His term was to have
expired May 10, 1909, but his admin
istration was not conspicuously sue
cessful. Prominent politicians grum.
bled because he did not give them
what they considered their fair share
of the spoils, and his conduct in pun
ishing some notorious hooters OF the
national treasury excited widespread
indignation, as 1t was regarded as a
gross breach of precedent
Early in 1908 the movement against
Alexis had gained great strength,
and in March a reign of terror was
suddenly inaugurated in Port au
Prince. The government seized many
of the revolutionists and summarily
put more than n score of them to
death. The number of executions, &C
cording to some reports, reached for
ty-eight General Simon took up arms
against the president. His march to
the capital was triumphant one. The
people surrounded the palace, Deem
Der 2, and took possession Of the city.
At the last moment Alexis yielded to
the pleas of those about him and de-
cided to take refuge on board the
French warship, Duguay Trouin.

Albanlans are Routed.

Constantinople, - The fighting at
kachinik Pass between the Turkish
troops and the Albanians lasted thir.
teen hours. Finally. surrounded on all
sides, the Albanans made a disorderly
retreat, leaving may prisoners. The
Albanians lost so men and the Turks
100. The great loss sustained by the
former was because they had no artil,
lery, while the government troops were
amply supplied. 1t is believed the re.
capture OF this important pass has
broken the backbone of the rebellion.
