Coleman Drayton, formerly Hiss Carrie Aator, to-day made her first public statement regarding the divorce suit against her through her counsel, Robert A. Ship man. The long delay in filing an answer to Drayton’s suit for divorce caused many reports that the case would go by default, which would mean an ad mission of the charges against her. According to the New Jersey law the time for filing an answer expires to morrow, and up to the present no papers have appeared in the court at Trenton. It Is not probable either that any will be filed this week, ar rangements having been made where by a longer time is obtained. Mr. Shipman outlined to-day what will be said in the answer, and added a positive statement the suit will be vigorously contested. ‘‘Mrs. Drayton will certainly file a reply to her hus band’s suit.” said he. “There has never for a moment been any doubt about that. The question of when her reply will be entered has been left'entlrely to the judgment of her counsel. All the reports that the time had expired or would expire, that she would allow judgment to be taken by default, and that she would not defend the suit have been and are wickedly untrue. Mrs. Drayton's re ply will be a full and absolute denial of each and every allegation of her husband's complaint.” iud anuiuov uuuuucu iu smio wiieu the reply would be filed, but added: "It will not be October 6, nor will we be in default. In cases of of this kind counsel always arrange between themselves for the filing of all neoes sary papers. This is a case that will be settled in the courts.” Drayton is living quietly at Ber nardsville, N. J., with his children, having spent the summer at Bar liar* bor. Mrs. Drayton is supposed to be in Paris. The Astor family is scat tered about at various resorts. Mrs. Astor is at Lenox and Mr. and Mrs. John Jacob Astor are witn a party of friends in Canada. Firm determination to fight the case has now been expressed by both sides and a complete airing of the whole thing will probably occur i-' the courts at Trenton. Befcelllon' In China. London, Oct 6. — Reports have reached Tien Tsin, China, that a re bellion has broken out in the province of Mongolia. Troops from Pekin have been sent to quell the uprising. Serious troubles are said to have arisen within the palace at Pekin, as the result of intrigues to -secure the abdication of the emperor and the suc cession of Prince Kung’s son. A number of Europeans from the outlying districts are arriving in Tien Tsin, the foreign residents of which place are taking every precaution against an anticipated attack. The position is so alarming that all for eign women and children, including the families of members of the cus toms service, have been ordered to leave forthwith. Efforts made to in duce the Chinese to desist from mak ing Shanghai the headquarters for military operations have been frus trated. The British consuls at Ninpo and Hankow sent alarming dispatches to the government on Tuesday and Wed nesday, reporting disturbances in those places and stating that the European residents were in peril. The Manchester Guardian declares to-day that the powers of Europe must soon interfere in China, but Japan, in her present mood, will pay no heed to any representations made by the powers unless they shall be accom panied by the tangible evidence of in tention to back them up. It was to authorize this, according to the Guardian, that the ministerial confer ence of yesterday was summoned. The paper further says that after a showing of force, Japan would be told that England desired that an armis tice be established, and on behalf of Europe would immediately call an in ternational conference. The Globe in an article referring to yesterday's ministerial council ridi culed the idea that it was summoned merely for the purpose of sending warships to protect the lives ana property of British residents in China and expresses the opinion that the Manchester Guardian's article of to day gives the real reason for the meeting of the ministers. The St. Janies Gazette expresses a similar opinion. Paris, Oct. . — The Gaulois, com menting on the British cabinet council held yesterday, asks if British inter vention in the Corean trouble might not constitute a repetition of the famous coup of 1878, which enabled Admiral Lord John Hay to take pos session of the island of Cyprus. The Figaro, referring to the same subject, remarked: "The British once landed in China, would not be able to resist the desire to exercise pressure upon the Japanese in order to prevent them from deriving all the advantages of victory. The troubles may then commence, and the peace of Europe will then bo threatened, for Russia, France and even America will certain ly intervene.” Indians as Cltlxans. Ardmore, I. T., Oct 6.—ta a ruling rendered in a ease in court in South McAlester, Judge Stuart says that an Indian who has taken the oath of al legiance to the United States becomes in every sense a citizen of that gov ernment without depriving him of any of the advantages or acquire ments of Indian citizenship.

Oct S.—Profeuor David Swing died at ten minutes alter 8 o'clock last night of blood poisoning, brought on by an attack of jaundice. Professor String was born in Cincin- J natl, Ohio, August S3, 1830, at which plaee his father was engaged in the Bteamboat business. At the age of 18 the boy entered Miami university at Oxford, Ohio, from which institution he graduated in 1833. In 18ti6 he ac cepted the pastorate of the Westmin ster Presbyterian church of this city, which later united with the North Presbyterian church, the two forming the Fourth Presbyterian church, one of the wealthiest and most influential institutions of the kind in Chicago. Shortly after the great Chicago Are of 1871 occurred the most important event in the great minister’s career— his trial before the Chicago Presbytery on a charge of heresy,preferred by the Rev. Dr. Francis L. Patton, now president of Princeton college. These charges, of which there were twenty eight specifications, of lapses from Presbyterian doctrines, were not sus tained, there being sixty-one mem bers in the Presbytery and only thirteen voted against him. liut the subsequent feeling was so bittor that Professor Swing brought matters to a elose by resigning his pastorate, a large number of his friends going with him and forming the Central church, in which Professor Swing has since labored with great success. For two years services were hold in Mc Vicker’s theater, a permanent home being since secured in Central Music hail. NEBRASKA SUES FOR $250,000 Ex-Stats Treasurer Hill Files His An swer to the Complaint. Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 5. — In the case of the state of Nebraska against John E. Hill, ex-treasurer, and his bondsmen, to recover $250,000 on de posit in the Capital National bank at the time it failed, issue was joined yesterday by the filing in the su preme court of the defendaut's an swer. The holding of the office is ad mitted, and it is insisted that Hill lias accounted for and turned over to the persons authorized to receive the same all the funds which came into his hands as such treasurer. It is alleged that never in the history of the state has it been the practice or custom for persons paying money into the treas ury to pay it in actual money, but it has always been paid in chocks, drafts and certificates of deposit and the like. Hill received from Willard, who preceded him, the funds of the state in checks, drafts and certificates of deposit, and did not receive in actual money to exceed $2,350. Willard had the funds deposited in the Capital National bank to his credit as treas urer, and when he turned over the office to Hill turned over the certifi cates of deposit among others. ThS answer declares that Hill never col lected or received in actual money to exceed $5,000. That the $285,357.85 deposited in the Capital National bank, represented by a certificate of deposit issued to Hill, was the pro ceeds of other checks, drafts and cer tificates of deposit and this certifi cate of deposit was turned over to J. S. Bartley, his successor m office, along with other certificates of de posit. Bartley took these certificates and opened with the Capital National bank an open account for the amount in his name as treasurer of state, and checked out of the funds thus depos ited the sum of $50,000 before the bank failed_' JIM CORBETT’S BLOOD IS UP. — He Fasts His Meney far a Fight With Bab Fltsslmmons. Boston, Oct. 5.—William Brady, Corbett's manager, telegraphed the New York stake-holder to transfer the $1,000 deposited with him in be half of Steve O’Donnell to Corbett's name, to cover the deposit made by Fitzsimmons for a fight with the champion. This amount, $9,000 to be deposited with David W. Blanchard of this city, will make up the $10,000 mentioned by Corbett in his ulti matum. Manager Brady received a dispatch from the Olympic club, New Orleans, containing the resolutions passed by the club declaring the championship forfeited to Fitzsimmons. The following reply was wired im mediately upon its receipt: To W. A. Scholl, President of the Olympic Athletic Club, New Or leans, La. Boston, Oct 3.—Your resolutions received. Cheer up and be merry; there's only one bite to a cherry. James J. Cobbett. Corbett states he holds the cham pionship of America, which can not be denied, but the newspapers and the Olympic club people are bound to keep him fighting incessantly to maintain it MORTON ACCEPTS.

Washington, Oct 4.— At 1 o’clock yesterday morning four men broke Into a boarding bouse on Eleventh street and carried away the little sons of Surgeon Glonnsn, of tho Mar* ine corps. The mother aroused the neighborhood with her sore sms. She was formerly Miss Susie Bayner, n belle and the daughter of a South Carolina congressman. She has not been living with Dr. Glennan for some time. The separatiou took place at Port Townsend, the doctor going to Stephenville, Texas Mrs. Glennan came here a few days ago, she claims, to put her boys in an academy. Sympathy at first was strongly on the side of Mrs. Glennan. Yesterday afternoon, however, the surgeon filed out his suit for divorce, in which he made very serious charges. Be hqadod the raid on the boarding house and claimed to have found Mrs. Glennan occupying a bed with a man whose acquaintance >she made In Virginia a few weeks ago. The man attempted to cover his head with bed clothing, but was recognized by Dr. Glennan and his com* pinions. It seems that detectives have been employed by the friends of the surgeon, and that they have traced Mrs. Glennan and the man who was with her. The pair have been together at soveral places, according to the evidence collected. In his petition Dr. Glennan names the co-respondent as Arthur L. Sell* ing, and says that large portions of the money he has been paying for tho support of Mrs. Glennan and the boys have been used in paying the board of said Selling, who is a man desti tute of means of subsistence. This is the second ,tlmo that the Glcnnans have been Involved in a scandal. Two years ago Surgeon Glennan accused Surgeon Mugruder, of tho marine corps, of intimacy with Mrs. Olcnnan, and there was a scene at a hotel in this city, but the charges were not proven and no divorce was granted. Mrs. Glennan denies that there was a man with her last night, ancPinsists that she was occupying tho bed with her 10-year-old son. The Glennaus are widely known. POLITICS IN NEBRASKA. Protest Entered Against the Bryan Ticket. Lincoln, Nob., Oct 4.—Ex-State Chairman Martin of the Democratic party has filed with tho secretary of state a remonstrance against the ticket certified and filed by the regu lar Democratic state central commit tee. Ho demands that the objections against the ticket urged by him in his remonstrance be observed by the secretary of state and that the names in the certificate filed by the other faction be not considered or treated, or certified, or printed on the official ballot as the candidates of the Democratic party. The remonstrance asserts that the certificates of the majority fulsly and fraudulently state that A. Hoicomb was nominated for governor in the convention representing the Demo cratic party. Tho other candidates of the Omaha convention are named and their nomination in a Democratic convention denounced. It is then as serted that the state convention was not in harmony with the national platform, but repudiated that plat form and consequently the reinon strator argues that the acts of this state convention are void. The Bryan conventio'n is not called a convention in the remonstrance, but an “assemblage of men." In stead of adopting the platform of the last national Democratic convention it is asserted that it adopted sub stantially the platform of the Peo ple’s Independent party and nom inated, not Democrats, but men who were at that time candidates of the Independent or Populist party.

A Wyoming bulletin says: On Dec. 23, 1884, the British govern* ment appointed n royal commission on water aupplies and Irrigation. It waa the duty of this commission to investi gate the subject of Irrigation in Egypt, Italy, India and the United States, with a view of compiling this information for the guidance of legis lation on the subject of Irrigation for the province of Victoria. This com mission made a special study of Irri gation laws, water rights, and methods of constructing large irrigation works in the various countries visited. They have made various progress reports from time to time which hsve been printed by the British government in Australia. These reports contain much valuable Information, and have led to the adoption of the system now practiced in Victoria, which is regarded as combining the wisdom and best meth ods of Irrigation that can be culled from the praotice of the world. STATE OWNERSHIP. On the subject of irrigation in Italy, the British commission makes the fol lowing statement: “In the first place, it is Important to note that almost all the Irrigation oanals in Piedmont and Lombardy now belong to the state, and the fact is all the more striking when it Is re membered that a majority of them were originally constructed by pri vate enterprise. The reason for this change of ownership Is not difficult of discovery. As Baird Smith notes, the dangers arising out of monopoly of water, apart from the ownership of the soil, have commended their pur chase to the statesman. Both pro cesses, starting out on different prin ciples, have arrived at the same con clusion. The Lombard practice of never separating the water from the land has palpably produced most ben eficial results, and, in his judg ment, was the chief cause of the rapid multiplication of secondary canals constructed by the pri vate enterprise in that province. "In Piedmont, the state’s proprietary of the water has been almost equally efficacious in encouraging its equitable distribution; but its ownership of the headworks has come to be recognized in each as the best means of insuring justice to the irrigator." IN ITALY, FRANCE AND SPAIN. The commission further states that "Italian' experience, French experi ence and Spanish experience all go to show that the interests to be studied in relation to irrigation schemes are so many and so various, and so inti mately bound up with the public wel fare, that state control is imperatively accessary, and that for the protection of, its citizens no monopoly can be permitted which would separate prop erty in water from property in land to which it is to be applied. But at the same time it is established that while a general central control by the state is essential, the business management and distribution of the water is much better placed under the local authority, as this is more effective in its supervision, more economical in its administration, and is educational, also, in a political sense, to a high de gree The establishment of a com prehensive system of irrigation by private enterprise is possible only under unusual conditions. If it em braces many sources of supply, large areas, or conflicting interests, it is impossible The capital required is large the returns are not rapid, and the full benefit secured by the close occupation and complete utilization of considerable areas are so reduced that the state could reach those bene fits in unnumbered ways, and settlers are not justified in assuming large re sponsibilities in their initiatioa This becomes palpable when it is perceived that as in Egypt and Italy, carefully matured schemes insore an enormous agricultural production, and the stable prosperity of a large number of producers. It may be safely asserted from foreign experience of many gen erations that irrigation is one of the soundest national investments, where engineering ability and executive work are expended upon large canals, which are afterward taken under local control, guarded by a carefully compiled code of water laws and reg ulations, while the land whose pro duction is enhanced is charged with the interest upon the capital expended in supplying it. All of these condi tions we ought to possess in Victoria.' ts VICTORIA. The investigations of this British commission led to the adoption of what may be called the “communal” principle for reclaiming the arid lands of Victoria. Water trusts are formed somewhat similar to the irrigation district in California under the Wright act; but these water trusts by law are under governmental control, and can only be carried forward by the sane tion of the government, which passes upon the feasibility of the scheme,and also the available water supply for the uses of the proposed water trust. The irrigation act of 1886 in Victoria declares the water of all streams to be the property of the crown, pro vides for the extinction of any riparian rights that might prevent the use of water for irrigation, author izes the construction of national works by the state, and enables trusts directly elected to carry out their schemes with money advanced from the public treasury. The succiss of thle method of reclaiming the lend* in Victoria ie shown by the following - statement: "When it is recollected that the first trusts in the colony wars not formed until 1883, and the first irrigation trust not until 1884, the progress that has been made may be estimated in a general way from the fact that there are now twenty-four ‘water trusts' covering an ares of/ 8,300,000 sores, and six irrlgatloifii trusts covering an area of 3S0,frMn- >. acres, in addition to fifteen applica tions for the constitution of new lrn gatlon trusts which will oover nearly 3,000,000 acres more." It would seem from the above facta and conclusions of the British commission that they had adopted the Irrigation district principle now in vogue in California under what is known as the "Wright aoti” that the communal principle and the irrigation distrlot principle are similar, exoept that in Vlotorla the government oversight of the irriga tion trust is so strong and vigilant as to prevent abuses and failures, which have sprung up, in some lnatanoes, under the irrigation distrlot system of California. IK WYOMING. So far as we bare proceeded in thU matter as a state, we bare made no mistake In our legislation. We bare observed tbe fundamental principles wbleb underlie tbe problem, and are now tbe admiration of tbe students of the problem of irrigation In the west In the state’s control of the water with its system of administration, we find that under the laws of 1890-91 provision is made for the formation of water divisions for administrative purposes. The superintendent of each water division, who is appointed by the governor, by and with tho con sent of the senate, together with the state engineer, ij-se at-? =£‘£3 board of water £•'£>?/„ “•L&ia are dearly outlia^. r-J I—h would be an easy ^oy, la totsssny „ with present irrigation laws, to make provision for the creation of irrigation districts upon the communal principle of Victoria, with municipal or quasi municipal powers for the sole purpose ot reclaiming land. These irrigation districts would vary in size according to locality und the amount of land to be reclaimed from and under the same , system of ditches. Our present sys tem of water control would still stand as an excellent method of state con trol and administration of onr water supply, by which all parties would be protected in their priority of water rights and in the adjudieation of dis puted claims. A Few Word* About Roue#. Before a convention of farmers in Ottawa, Mrs. Lambert said: Some years ago, when I was invited to write a paper on roses I readily consented. 1 was then enjoying my first success in cultivating my favorite flower, and felt possessed of such an unlimited fund of informatlonon on tbe subject that I was ready to instruct any one who stood in need of such knowledge Hut since then years have put to the test some of my pet theories, and, I must confess, put many of them to flight, and now I only feel capable of saying a few words in the matter. It must be understood that whatever I now say is intended for the novice only. I no longer aspire to teach the experienced floriculturist The first necessity for rose growing is morning sun. I do not believe that any satis faction can possibly be obtained, even though the sun should beat on one’s roses from midday to midnight It is the early morning sun which is the source of life and ctrength to them, and if after midday they are in the shade so much the better. Blch soil, a shelter from north and cast winds by shrubs, or a fence not too near, and plenty of room for ventilation be tween the bushes—under these condi tions any rose except standards may be grown with perfect success in Ottawa. Of course nearly all of them must be covered in winter, and the tea rosea much more heavily than others. Rosa rugosa, all the briars, including the two yellow roses, and all moss roses, are better for being left quite unprotected. All should be heavily mulched before the first of July. The most important division, to the gar dener, is that of remontant and n on remontant, or summer varieties. me iormer oioom on snoots or the same year's growth, while the lat ter mnst hare 2-year-old wood before they will show ua a flower. As to pruning: If one’s roses are all remon tant the experience of Canon Hole, the ! well known rosiarian, will serve as a guide. He said that his roses had never been so glorious as they were the year they had been' pruned by a donkey that had broken into his gar den and cropped his remontants to the ground. According to this one should eut out as one does with its cousin, the raspberry bosh, every shoot that has borne, and shorten the new growth, while with the others only 2-year-old wood must go. If I could only grow one rose it should be a Jaqeminot, and if I could have six they should all be the same, but if more might be mine for the choosing I should say three La France, three Mme. Victor Verdier, three Baroness Rothschild, three Mervellle de Lyon, one Gracilis moss, and Old English moss, and one crested mosa There are, of course, dozens more, perfect dreams of loveliness, but some weak ness of constitution or shyness of blooming would make me wait until a year’s success with the varieties I have named had given me strength to bear the trial of a possible failure with the host of beauties which rise before me at this moment and plead in vain for a word in their behalf.
