Senator HansbrouKh Discusses the Irrigation Law as It Applies to This State. Washington," Oct. 12. Senator Hansbrough, as the originator of na tional legislation on the subject, has kept in touch with the national irriga* tion situation during the recess of con gress, and has noted especially the ef forts that are to be made to have a por tion of the irrigation fund expended in western North Dakota. Since he came to Washington he has made a personal investigation of the law relating to the expenditure of the funds set aside for irrigation and reclamation of arid lands, and he declares that the state will not suffer in any way in the carry ing out of the plans of the government. In discussing the subject Senator Hansbrough said: "In regard to the expenditure of funds in the state and territories from whole land sales the funds have been derived, some misleading statements have been made. Under the law the secretary is obliged, if he can do so, to expend the money in the states and territories from whence the money came." The exact wording of the law*Oil this point is as follows: That it is hereby declared to be the duty of the secretary of the interior in carrying out the provisions of this act, so far as the same may be practicable and subject to the existence of feasible irrigation projects, to expend the ma jor portion of the funds arising from the sale of public lands within each state and territory hereinbefore named for the benefit of ari^ and setnirarid lands within the limits of such state or territory provided that the secretary may temporarily use such portion of said funds for the benefit of arid or semiarid lands deem advisable, but lien so vused the excess shall be re stored to the fund as soon as practi cable, to the end that ultimately, and in any event, within each ten year per iod. after .the, passage of this acL, the. expenditure's fol" "the benefit of said states and territories shall be equalized according,to the proportions and sub ject to the conditions as to practicabil ity and feasibility aforesaid. f,Thus it will be observed that no money belonging to any particular state or territory is to be taken away permanently. North Dakota has the largest sum to its credit of any state or territory named in the law. I have no doubt that-every dollar of it will be spent within the state if sufficient water and enough available land can be found. "Necessarily the national irrigation law,is slow of execution. The impor tance of the work requires the great est care, and the people of the states and territories interested must not be come impatient if delays are apparent. Expert hydrographevs and engineers must examine the vast regions to de termine where irrigation is feasible. Upon their report the secretary of the interior decides which of the various enterprises shall be undertaken. He then proclaims the withdrawal from en try, except under the irrigation law, of the available irrigable lands under each project which he has concluded to de velop. His next step is to let con tracts for the construction of the neces sary works. In the case of North Da kota there will be a number of projects but none of them extensive. Several surveyors have been in the field in the western, portion of the state all sum mer.' Their reports will reach the sec retary during the winter and his procla mations may be expected early next spring. The work of construction will follow as soon as contracts can be made." i GOVERNMENT REPORT. Washington.

They are on a scale of truly royal splendor. The fetes will follow the style pf. those held at the time of4he recent visit to Paris of King Edward, and will include a 11 utu rner of events affording opportunities for brilliant specular effects. Govern ment architects have provided a plan for the decoration of the streets by day and for illuminations by night. Private residents and shopkeepers litiVe con tributed large sums of money toward transforming the avenues and boule vards of the city into riiasses of color, with floral arches, Venetian masts, and looping of flowers. A larg eforce of troops is being assembled to add to the military pageantry of the event. As a measure of precaution the govern ment hris instituted a strict surveillance over the anarchists of Paris and during his stay in the city the Italian monarch will be well guarded by secret service men of both France and Italy. King Victor Emmanuel and his con sort arrive at noon Wednesday. Presi dent Loubet. the members of the min istry, and the staff of the Italian em bassy will proceed to the Bois de Bou logne station to meet them. The sta tion will be hung with'rich .velvet and Gobelin tapestries. The meeting be tween the president and the king will take place uhder a silken canopy. Af ter the greetings the royal visitors and President Loubet will enter elaborate state carriages, with postillions and outriders, and escorted by a regiment of cuirassiers, they will drive through the'"Bois and the Champs Elysees to the Italian embassy. Throughout the entire route soldiers will be massed on either side of the thoroughfare. Wednesday evening a banquet will be given at the Elysee. Yhe next day King Victor Emmanuel and President Loubet will visit Verseillels where after luncheon has been served they will in spect the palace and the park. The king and president will return to Paris by road in a carriage. A gala perfor mance at the opera will take place in the evening. The next day, Friday, a visit will be paid to the city. The offi cials reception will take place at the Hotel de Ville. Thence the royal party will proceed to the mint, where to the king will be presented ra Aside^ from its spectfet^af^ the vis(t. 0/ King Victor Emmanuel is leading to a wide range of speculation in the matter of its political signficance. French officials state freely that thfs visit marks the culmination of the ef forts that have been making for several years past to restore a complete en tente cordiale between the two nations, which were strained for a long lime by the tariff war between France and Italy. They say, also, that it is an evi dence that the foreign policy of France, Italy and Great Britain is to be con ducted along sympathetic line$, U. S. SUPREME COU$LTV Washington, D.

The members ofthe court paid a visit to the president and afterward held a brief session to hear applicants for admission to the bar. The present session promises to be interesting because of important cases to be argued. The mo$t important case will be the appeal of-the Northern Se curities Co., from the decision of a special bench of the United States Cir cuit Couit of JVlinnesota,-which, declar ed the company illegal. Two cases, one from Porto Rico, and the other from the Philippines involve the ques tion whether the Porto Rican and the Philippines acts, imposing tariff duties, violate the constitution.

Monastir, European Turkey, Oct. 12.— The artillery operations in the western part of Monastir Valley are\practically completed. The remaining' band of revolutionists was annihilated yesterday afternoon after a desperate fight. The band which numbered ninety-three mem bers, was lurking in the mountains of Peristeri. During the night two Turkish detachments, one from the east and the Other from the west, «et out for the hid ing place of tne insurgents. The detach ment from the east found the revolu tionists strongly posted on a precipitous "dge. '. v. The insurgents immediately when they became aware of the presence of the troops began to roll huge boulders down the mountain sidfi, thus killing four and wounding three of their besiegers. The troops unwaveringly 'fcOntlriued to climb the mountain the face of which was so steep that the wounded- hand no chance but rolled to the foot of the precipice as soon as they were struck. The Turks maintained 4 steady tire as they proceeded upward. After a desperate conflict had been cirried oh several hours and .while the issue Was still doubtful, the Turkish detachment from the west reached the crest of the ridge. The Bulgarians were, thus placed be tween two fires. The revolutionists suc ceeded in forcing the troops to fall back to less precipitous slopes of the moun tains, but last sixty-five killed and a number The re but they granted'fctffhwty.

When, under the present law, saioon are secured through a petition of voters they continue in operation indefinitely. Anti-saloon workers declare that with in a few years the sentiment of the neighborhood may have changed and those opposing may be in the majority. So a legislative committee will be ap pointed to lobby for an amendment to the present law making it necessary to secure7 new petitions at intervals. NEW MEXICAN FAIR. Albuquerque, N.
