Orcet significance is lent to the congress
this year trough the fact that the Irrlga.
lion movement baa been taken out of the
phere of merely a propaganda and given
alional Importance through the action of
the last congress In passing a bill authoriz
ing the proceeda from the tale of atate
lands to be oied for Irrigation purposes
In the several atatea.
President Tbomaa F. W'aleh of the con

the congresa will be the moat largely at
tended ever held.
President Roosevelt aent message of
congratulation and cordial sympathy to be
read before the convention.
Message from Roosevelt.
The message read:
WASHINGTON. Oct. . Accept my
hearty good wishes. Nothing has been
done In which I have taken a arrester In
terest during my administration than the
Inauguration of nationally aided Irrigation.
THKODOliE KOOSKVELT.
The morning was taken up with the re
ception of delegates from all parti of the
weat, morning trains having brought large
delegations from Mtnneaota, Nebraska,
Utah, Oregon, California and Arizona.
The New Mexico delegation reached the
city yesterday. Ei-Oovernor L. B. Prince,
vice president of the congress, Is among
those here.
The personnel of thla congresa la re
fcsidcJ aa 3etlueui higher in character
than that of any prevloua Irrigation gath
ering and Thomas F. Walsh, president of
the congress, said today: "I look for the
most successful gathering In the history
of the Irrigation movement."
The congress opened with an Invocation
by Dr. Edward Bralalet of Colorado
Springs.
Addresses of welcome by Governor Or
man of Colorado. President D. B. Falrlee
ol iD'e Colorado Springs Chamber of Com
merce; Mayor John ' R. Robinson, for the
city of Colorado Springs, and I. N. Stevena,
editor of the Colorado Springs Gaiotte,
for the press, were respended to by Presi
dent Walsh, formerly of Colorado, now of
Washington, on behalf of the Irrigation
congress and the American Forestry con
vention, which Join In thla convention.
Hamaaltarlaa Aspect.
"The Humanitarian Aspect of National
Irrigation" was the subject of Mr. Walsh's
address. In opening be said:
Gentlemen of the Convention: We are
here not merely to discuss measures, to
formulate resolutions and to map out a
plan of campaign, as we tiuve so often
come on former occasions, but we are
here, first of all, to celebrate a. great vic
tory, to rejoice at the birth of a new
policy which the National Irrigation con
gress has given to the nation. It Is a
happy hour in the history of the great
WML
After paying a tribute to the "patriotic,
far-sighted and enthusiastic men who In
augurated this movement a doien years
ago" and referring to the work of the
National Irrigation association aa an
auxiliary and co-worker of this congress,"
President Walsh said:
There could have been no substantial
success at this early day had we not been
extremely fortunate In the character of our
public men at Washington. First and fore
moat, our grateful acknowledgements are
due to Theodore Roosevelt, president of
the United States. His message to con
gress In December, lf'l, marked the be
ginning of a new epoch In the history of
western America. It placed the cause of
national Irrigation In a position where It
could no lunger be denied a hearing.
Powerful Aid ot Roosevelt.
Without the powerful aid of the admin
istration we could not possibly have suc
ceeded In Inaugurnting the new policy at
ao early a day. With all due regard to
his other achievements and the Importance
tif other subjects, both domestic and for
eign. 1 do nut hesitate to say that. In my
opinion, when the history of President
Hoosevelt'a tirst administration shall be
written the passage of the national Irriga
tion act will be found to be the peculiar
glory of his statesmanship.
Referring to the Importance to the coun
try as a whole of national Irrigation, Mr.
Walsh aald:
It Is not the dream of empire that may
come to a great nation with the conquest
f a territory wherein a hundred millions
will sometime dwell which appeals to my
Imagination, but It Is the dream of home
and Independence which will come to many
a struggling family with the announce
ment that one more fair valley of arid
America has been thrown open to settle
ment at the actual cost of reclamation.
v hat does It mean to the aaii.ia to have
millions of people gradually pass from the
servitude of the town to the sovereignty
of the country?
It means, my friends, the enlistment of a
new army for the defense ol (he republic
in every hour of need. Give a man a home
upon the soli and you have made him the
patriot who will defend your Institutions at
the ballot box and on the battlefield.
Field for Benevolence.
I want to avail myself of this opportunity
to say that there Is no field where benevo
lence could accomplish so much as In as
sisting the reclamation and settlement of
our great arid region. The propaganda
which this congress hss carried on for so
many years might well be endowed with
a fund which would enable us to Increase
the scope and eitlclency of our work a
hundred fold. We must doibtlesa devlae
means by which the poorest families may
be helped to get homes on the soil. Govern
ment land at actual cost does not wholly
solve the problem. There sr raioad fares
to be met, homes to be uullt, lands to be
Improved and mouths to be fed before the
lands come Into beating.
Thus the problem of colonisation la by
. ao means wholly solved by putting the
water on the land. I do not see how a man
could have a nobler monument than a
colony of happy families or even one family
enjoying the security ot life on the Irri
gated farm, aa the result of his assistance.
If you ask sne for an example ot what
might be accomplished In this line, I point
you to the Irrigated valleys of Utah. Those
were settled by comparatively poor men,
many et whom were assisted by a powerful
organisation. They live on email farms.
They enjoy Independence by the simple
method of producing the variety of things
snu n iney consume, inti live chiefly in
villages and so have, social advantages not
usually within the reach of farming com
munities. It Is an amaslng sla'ement. Lji

Both on Saturday and Sunday they were

Americans ssid, "The police bave got you

DEMAND FOR ENGLISH COAL
tosllnsisre of Strike Caaaes Large
Orders to Be Pieced oa Other
Side of Atlaatle.
LONDON. Oct. 6. Continuance of the
coal strike In the United States has given
a fillip to the market here, and It la now
believed that the demand will not be a mere
flash In the pan, but will last, at least, over
the present month.
Further purchases of eoal are reported
at all large exporting centers, and quite a
number of vessels have been- fixed to load
cargoes for American ports at Cardiff,
Swansea, Newcastle, Liverpool and Glas
gow. The qusnttty so far contracted for is very
considerable, and the fixing of large boats
goes on apace, to the advantage of tho
freight market and the gratification of ship
owners. It is reported that several Elder
Dempster steamers have been ordered to the
Tyne to load full cargoes ot coal for New
York and Boston, In addition to numerous
vessels, which within the Isst few days
bave been chartered on the Newcastle
market.
This unprecedented export of coal to the
United States naturally has the effect of
raising prices on the London market, and
with the continuation of the strike, prices
are bound to go materially higher.

HARRISBURO, Pa.. Oct. . Govern or
Stone late tonight ordered out the entire
division of the nstional guard of Pennsyl
vania to duty In the anthracite ecal regions.
The soldiers will be in the field tomorrow.
The order calling out the guard says:
"In certain porticos of the counties ot
Luierne, Schuylkill, Carbon. Lackawanna,
Susquehanna. Northumberland and Colum
bia tumults and riots frequently occur and
mob lav.- reigns; men who desire to work
have been beaten and driven away and their-
familiea threatened. Railroad trains have
been derailed and the tracks torn up, the
local authorities have been unable to main
tain order and bave called on the commander-in-chief
for troops. The sltuatkn
grows more serious day by day. The terri
tory involved la so extensive that the troops
now on duty are insufficient to prevent all
disorder. The presence of the entire di
vision of the national guard Is necessary
In these counties. The major commanding
will place the entire division on duty, plac
ing them In such localities as will render
them effective for the preservation of the
peace.
"As tumults, riots and disorder usually
occur when men attempt to work In and
about the coal mines, you will see that aU
men who desire to work and their families
bave ample military protection. You will
protect all trains and other property from
unlawful interference and will arrest all
persons engaging in acts of violence and In
timidation and hold them under guird until
their release will not endanger the public
peace; will see that threats. Intimidations,
asaults and all acta of violence cease at
once. The public peace and good order
will bo preserved .upen all occasions
throughout the several counties and no in
terference whatever will be permitted with
officers and men In the discharge of their
duties. Dignity and authority of the state
must be maintained and Its power to sup
press all lawlessness within Its border be
ssserted."
The formal order was given out at the
executive mansion shortly before 11 o'clock
tonight by Prlvste Secretary Oerwlg, after
Governor Stone had conferred with the gen
eral officers of the guard.
Mitchell Sees Wright.
WILKESBARRE. Oct. . President John
Mitchell ot tho Untied Mine Workers ot
America slipped out of town before dawn
this morning for Philadelphia, where he
met Carroll D. Wright. United Statea com
missioner of labor, who Is President Roose
velt's personal representative on matters
pertaining to the anthracite coal strike.
Mr. Mitchell returned here tonight unac
companied and unannounced and made the
simple statement that be bad met the labor
commissioner.. He. .refused .. absolutely ' to
discuss his visit to Philadelphia, declining
to say where In Philadelphia he met Mr.
Wright or what passed between them. Sub
sequently be Informed a representative of
tho Associated Press that he saw other
gentlemen while there but declined to dis
close their identity.
Prcsldeat'a Only Way.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 6. There waa only
one development of Importance In the coal
strike situation today. Frank P. Sargent,
commissioner of immigration and for many
l years chief of tbe Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen bad a long Interview with
President Roosevelt today and left Wash
Ington very soon afterwards. Mr. Sargent
Indicated that tbe Interview concerned the
coal strike, but be would not discuss the
matter. From the fact that he always has
been influential with labor organizations
It Is generally believed that be is entrusted
with a message to President Mitchell of the
Miners' union. It la also said that Mr.
Sargent is to meet Mr. Mitchell In Phila
delphia and deliver the message of tbe
president urging that the miners end tbe
strike in the interests of tbe public.
While many propositions have been under
discussion It Is almost certain that the
administration la taking up only one plan
at a time. The present plan Is that out
lined in tbe Associated Press dispatches
Saturday and Sunday and contemplates an
ending of tbe strike by tbe action of
President Mitchell and hli associates and a
full investigation of the mining conditions
later. No hope is entertained .hat anything
can be accomplished through the coal oper
ators. Should tbe movement now on foot
fall, there seems to be no other plan which
presents a feasible solution bt the serious
problem.
Will Help Coal Importers.'
The Treasury department today aent the
following latter to the collectors of tbe
principal ports of entry in the United
States:
Reports Indicate that a large quantity
of coal has been Imported. If any portion
of thla should arrive at your port the de-
fartment desires every facility afforded for
ts prompt delivery. 8o far as may be
possible give consignments of coal pref
erence over everything else end for the
present solve all reasonable doubts in fa
vor of ths coal Importer.
BOSTON. Oct. . William M. Wood and
James M. Phillips Jr., of the executive
committee of the American Woolen com
pany has cabled abroad for 5,000 tens ot
anthracite coal to be placed at the disposal
of the operatives of the, mills ot ths com
pany. Tbe coal is to be sold at exact cost.
NEW YORK, Oct. fc John B. Kerr, gen
eral counsel tor the New York, Ontario" 4k
Western railroad, speaking ot the report
from Boston that certain New Engtand own
ers of coal mining properties in tbe anthra
cite fields In Pennsylvania that are bald
under lease by the operators are talking of
beginning suit to break the leases because
their royaltlea have stopped since the strike
began, bsd this to say of the matter: "All
the leasee ao far as I know contain atrlke
clauses. They provide that In case ef a
strike when the lessee Is willing to pay ths
prevailing wages to bis employes, be Is
excused from ths payment of royalties dur
ing ths strike. All tbe leases I know any
thing about plsce the lessee In the position
In which the owner would be placed If he
were operating tbe mines.
Meed Pay Na Royalties.
"If an operator attempts to cut the wares
of bis men to less than the prevailing wages
and they atrlke be la not excused by tbe
strike clause. ' But In the present Instance
the operators are willing to pay the prevail
ing wages and are excuaed from the" pay
ment of royaltlea." . . . -

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Oct. . (Special.) Mr. Bryan
gave to the press tonight bis Ideas as to
what course tbe president should take In
dealing with tbe coal atrlke. It Is an ad
vance copy ot an editorial In the Commoner
and reads as follows:
The president was fully Justified In call
ing a conference of the mine owners and
strikers at the White House. The situation,
waa serious and the executive well and i
forcibly presented the' people's side in his .
statement.
The president deserves snd should re
ceive commendation for his effort to save ,
the people from the horrors of a fuel
famine, but what will he do now? The!
miners offer to arbitrate, but the only
proposition made by the coal barons Is1
that the president shall send down United
States soldiers to protect them while they
work the mines with such non-union men,
as they can nnd.
Having recognized and described the seri
ousness of the situation the president must
proceed and use all the means In his power j
to settie the strike snd bring aiout a re
sumption of work, lie cannot stop now
without disappointing the hopes which he,
raised by calling s conference. What can i
he do? The republican platfirm presents
no plait Will he have the statesmanship
to devise a plan? if not, will he have the'
moral courage to adopt democratic meas
ures which have already received the In
dorsement of more than six millions of
people?
Special Seseloa of Coagrras.
If. ss Is alleged, the mine owners have
entered Into an agreement to fix prices and
production In violation of the anti-trust
lnw, let him enforce tile law not merely
the Injunction part, but the criminal part
also. If present laws are not sutllclent, let
him call congress together snd enact new
laws. The emergency Is sufficient to Justify
It. If he does not want to Interfere witn
the canvass of those members who are
candidates for re-election he can Issme the
call at once and have congress convene
Immediately after the election, but If he
wants to get the nest service he will have
them act before the election so that their
own political interests ss well as the public
welfare will compel them to act promptly.
If he will Issue the call and In the call
nsme specific and effective measures to be
considered It is more than probable that
the strikers would agree to go back to
work at the old wages pending action by
congress. The sltjatlon would thua be re
lieved and the danger of a fuel famine re
moved. What Coald Be Done.
There are five measures which he should
recommend to congress:
First A law establishing a national board
of arbitration consisting of three or five
members to consider and report on all con
troversies between corporations engaued In
Interstate commerce nd their cmplcycii.
The Kansas City platform demands an ar
bitration law. and if the democrats had
won the miners' appeal for arbitration
would not be futile as It is now. The law
should compel the board to act whenever
either party to the controversy demanded
It and the president should be empowered
to add to the board two temporary mem
bers, one to be recommended by each aids
In ths case to be considered.
Second A law abolishing government by
injunction. This is another remedy sug
gested by the Kansas City platform. The
n ine Owners vant to use government by in
junction to coerce their employes. Let the
president answer their demand by recom
mending a law which will give tho accused
a trial by Jury where the contempt Is com
mitted outside the court room. 8uch a bill
passed the senate a few years ago before
the corporations were aware of It, hut since
the republicans regained control the meas
ure has been smothered in committee.
Why deny to a striking coal miner the con
stitutional right guaranteed to the meanest
criminal lu the land?

Third A law that will discriminate be

Fourth A law taking the tariff off of

a grade that it Is taxed under our tarllf
laws.
Fifth A law which will prevent railroads
engaged In Interstate commerce from oper
ating coal mines except for the purpose of
supplying fuel for their own engines. No
railroad can fix rates on coal with fairness

Viola Allen Conceives a Different
Character from Tree's aad Wash
Ingtoa Applauds It.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 6. Miss Viola Allen
appeared as Donna Roma, in Hall Cain's
dramatization of "Tbe Eternal City" which
received lta first production in this coun
try at tbe National theater tonight The
house was crowded.
The play proved to be one of tre
mendous force and power and scenlcally
Is one of the most magnificent produced on
the stage In recent times. The new play
la much more picturesque than "The Chris
tian" and exceeds It In dramatic intensity.
Miss Allen's version of the play Is radically
different from that produced by Beerbobm
Tree in London on last Thursday evening.
In the Tree version Donna Roma la a bad
woman and the play ends unhappily, while
In Miss Allen's version Roma la a pure but
a calumlnated woman who triumphs in the
end. Miss Allen, It is said, refused to ac
cept the, Tree version and insisted thst Mr
Caine preserve Donna Roma'a good name.
She waa applauded aa tbe play proceeded
and her version evidently appealed to the
Washington public
The Incidental music by Pletro Maacagni
has a distinct charm, adding greatly to
the Interest ot the performance. Miss Al
len's supporting cast Includes Edward Mor
gan, E. M. Holland. Frederic De Belleville,
W. E. Bonney, C. Leslie Allen and George
C. Boniface.

MORMONS HAVE NEW METHOD
Propose Hereafter to Enconrage
Growth of Chnrch at Points
Other Than Utah Zloa.
SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. . The annual
conference ot the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints, with one exception the
largest ever held, closed this afternoon.
The Mormon church has missions in every
civilized country in the world and nearly
all of them were represented at the con
ference Just closed, while Utah, Idaho, Colo
rado, Arizona, New Mexico, Canada and
Mexico, where tbe church flourishes, were
represented by thousands. It Is estimated
that 40,000 people bave attended tbe confer
ence meetings.
The growth of the church, as shown by
missionaries and the church reports, has
been remarkable in the last year. It Is no
longer the policy of the Mormon church to
encourage emigration to the home of the
church in Utah, but rather to establish
eommuuitles In the slates where converts
are made. This same policy Is being car
ried out by foreign missionaries.

Oag spread arrows; tbe western- part ef tt.

Warner to the stand. After brief Invoca
tion by Rev. W. G. Davenport. Mr. Warner
Introduced the Hon. Henry B. F. Mc Far
land, one of the district commissioners.
He began with the declaration that Wash
ington Is the national capital only because
ot "What was done by that Orand Army
of the Republic which you represent," and,
after paying a high tribute to the members
ot the Grand Array, both as soldiers and
cltliens, satd:
Veteraaa May Teach.
"We of tbe younger generation, who were
born while you were fighting, know war
only from that more recent war for human
ity, for freedom, and for opportunity, which
under tbe direction of President McKlnley,
hero, saint and martyr, was won in fewer
days than you fought months. That smaller
war showed that we still had In us the full
vigor, tho noble spirit of your war that
spirit typified by . our present president.
wbose name thla camp is most appropriately
to bear.
"We who bave come up alnce the civil
war would learn of you and of tbe states
man and soldiers, your comrades, who are
here In spring, lessons which we need for
the twentieth century. We would catch
the spirit of tbe absolute devotion which
gave up everything for the republic, and
counted life not dear. We would follow the
example of those who found Joy In sacrifice
and their highest reward In tbe aweet, stern
face ot their country, as she smiled on
them ere tbey died.
"Ours is a most difficult task. It is
essler to die. than to live for our country,
and we need a double measure of your
spirit for ths days which seem ao unbsrolc,
and yet demand auch heroism. Fortunately,
we bave the example ot you veterans, la
peace, as well aa In war. You bave shown
for forty years that you were citizen
soldiers and that you are aoldler-citlxena.
Tbe victories of peace are youra as well
aa the victories of war. The high purpose,
the aelt control, the patient endeavor, the
gtalwart courage, which are aa necessary to
good cltixenshlp as to good soldiership,
appear tn your present example."
Hay Speaks (or Prcsldeat.
Mr. McFarland took hla seat In the midst
of a generous round ot applause which was
renewed and redoubled when Hon. John
Hay, secretsry of state, roes to speak for
the president. Mr. Hay read his speech
from manuscript, but be spoke so distinctly
that bis words were plainly audible to all
