following numerous Mexican provo

trouble, the unpreparedness of the

HONGKONG, China.-The Siamese
government has appropriated $555,000

nection with the PraSak irrigation
project, which will ultimately cost
$4,25O,0O0 This scheme provides for
great canal Tor Prasak and fuller
development of the existing canal sys-

is designed to reclaim much waste
land in lower Siam for rice cultfVa-
ton. Only the first unit of the scheme
will be developed at present. 1t is
estimated by the British experts who
have been employed to make survey
of the situation that a total expendi:
ttrre of 5O,00g..sO0. within 25 years
will make it possible to reclaim

When the prince attempted to leave
the steamer Wednesday afternoon he
was refused entry by some one In ati-

he started to explain that the immi-
grafton laws did not affect him, was
roughly pushed back. This careless
method of treating passengers greatly
angered the prince and his compare
