CHICAGO , III. , March 3. The decision of
Judge Allen regarding shipments to Cana
dian points by railroads lu tbo United States ,
has opened anew the whole question of Cana
dian competition. While there is a wide
varlanca In the views expressed , all seem
willing to concede that this is tbo bacdest
blow the In tors late commerce has re
ceived. General J. II. McNulta , a
recognized authority on both the railroad
und legal aspect of the case says today :
"The decision rendered by Judge Alton is
but the beginning ot the ouo. The laxv
must be so amor.dod as to place the same
restrictions upon all carriers allowed to com
no to Tor the same busluosx or bo wholly re
pealed. Otherwise It xvlll become practi
cally n dead letter. That no penalties could
bo- Indicted bv our courts for acts done
beyond the territorial limits of the United
States In contravention of the provis
ions of the act has alxvays been con
ceded by everybody. Thisgavoan undue ad-
vantaco and the control of foreign t radio to
the Canadian roads whoso oflloon might
choose to limit their operations to ibo actual
payments of rebates , etc. , on tbe Canada
sldo of the border. This decision goes fur
ther , and savs that iho government does not
apply to Canadian tariffs. The necessary se
quence is that all of the American
roads , as a moans of solf-prosorva-
tton must do the same on corro'spondtng
trafllc. The American roads must do this
not only to protect their oxvn Interests , but to
protect the commercial Interests of the
American ports aud business centres , es
pecially Nexv York , Philadelphia and Balti
more and nil Inland points dependent upon
those points for their imports. The practical
defect of the decision is that the laxv docs
-not apply to , any trafllo to or from points be
yond tno border or seaboard.
Hunipdy r.lcn with Congress.
"Altqough no penalties can be inflicted for
act * done in Canada , the Canadian roads can
boj regulated by our laxvs if congress so
chooses. Ihoro are no EnellsU or foreign
ihlps plying between Chicago and Buffalo
or any of our domestic ports , simply bo-
canso they are prohibited by laxv.
" In . the same xvay our ships nro
"prohibited from carrying t rattle bctxvocn
'Canadian ' or English ports. For like reasons
English railroads in Canada carrvlng traftlc
tb : and from points In the Vnitod States
should bo excluded , or if permitted to do
business on our sldo of the line they should
tye'undor a license , revocable for a violation
of.tho rules wnich govern American roads. "
Asked if the exclusion of Canadian roads
'would uot Increase the cost of transporta
tion by cutting off competition. General Mc
Nulta replied :
"If. on the contrary , rightly managed , It
would lessen tbo cost to the general public.
The power having peon exercised by the com
mission to fix a reasonable rate , they will
gee current rates under competition xvith tbo
Canadian roads , less a proper sum deducted
for the cost of the maintenance of the Cana
dian roads which xvould bo dispensed with.
Our Oxvu llouds Handicapped.
Tbo heavy shlpoors who practical ! monop
olize certain hues and gut ouorm3us rebates
nro the only ones who xvould suffer. Wo
cannot have absolutely prohibitive protection
against carriers by English ships and at the
same tlino for the sametrafllo have unlimited ,
unrestricted free trade for carriers by Eng
lish railroads. There is no semblance- re
ciprocity In this , for our oxvn roads are handi
capped by laws that prevent them from com
peting with the Canadians. The least that
can bo asked Is that tbo roads on both sides
of iho border bo alluo restricted or alike free.

KassAsCiTV , Mo. , March 3. A special
meeting of jtho Transmissourl Freight as

proposition of iho Hock Island and Burling
ton roads to reduce rates from Chicago , and
pojnts taking Chicago rates , to Utah and
Colorado common points , and also to con
sider tbo rate situation as affected by the ro-
neut orders of the Kansas railway com
mission reducing fifth class ratos.
Tha Utah and Colorado rates , It Is charged
by , the Uock Island and Burlington , have
boon manipulated so as to seriously affect
tholr revenues. The remedy , as-proposed by
the Uock Island and Burlington , was a radi
cal one. The proposition was to reduce the
rates to a point so Inxv that they could not bo
out. The proposition was voted doxvu.
A proposlilon was placed before Iho moet-
matoreduoo fifth class rates in accordance
with the last order of the Kansas commis
sioners. The Hock Island voted against the
proposition , and defeated it.
The Hock Island pave notice that it would
appeal the matter to commissioners of the
Wo tern Traffic association. The Rocic
Island also submitted u sepirato proposition
to tnuko a toial reduction In iho rate to Den
ver of S3 cents. That was olio defeated and

BEOLAMATlON OF ARID LANDS.
An Important Ilnport to bo Isxuud l > y the
Government.
There has boon nn almost unprece
dented.dqrnand for priutod reports of the
government on irrigation and the culti
vation of the soil by irrigation , says the
Washington correspondent of the St.
Louis Globo-Demoorat. The demand
has been so great , in fact , that it has
been impossible , with the limited edi
tions published , to respond to one In
ttfty of the requests made for the report
of 1801 , nnd thnfori artesian wells made
in 1890. Book dealers in Washington
have been able to sell nil the copies they
can obtain at'$2.60 aplooe. This , byway
of illustration of the growing interest In
the subject. Tho. llnal report of the
artesian and underllow investigation of
the irrigation inquiry has boon sub
mitted by the secretary of agriculture
in manuscript to the senate
coramitt'oo on printing. The
text of the report "treats in
n popularmannor the entire subject of
irrigatlon'nnd the cultivation of the soil
thereby-.and presents data of the ut
most importance on tlio irrigation and
reclamation of arid lands. The maps
nnd illustrations accompanying the report -
port are llnely , drawn and make plain
many things that would otherwise re
main obsuuro und incomprchonblblo to
the average reader.
The report contains , trpatlaes on the
folio wing .subjects : Work on the great
plains and its results ; water conserva
tion and .management its scope ; Htato
supervision of irrigation and works ;
growth of reclamation for 1891 ; the art
of irrigation and American succosi ; Irri
gation legislation ; muiiiclp.il o.mtrol of

tlio most Important Irrigation centers
and districts of Kansas , Cotor.ido.To.xas ,
Qnllfornlu , Nevada , Oregon , Washing'
ton , Idaho , and in tlio territories of
Oklahoma , Now Muxjeo , Arizona and
Utuh. Soma forty irrigation districts
and centers xvuro visited and inspected ,
the plan * , reports and maps of loading
organlismlpua were obtained , and the
testimony pf abQut UOO persons actively
intoredtod-lii Ihoorpnniitation and man-
agomont of irrigation enterprises was
taken. The report contains the final
results of the artesian nnd underflow in
vestigation , which nro not of loss
interest nnd Importance than that
part of the report heretofore con
sidered. The irrigation of the two farms
in South Dakota that were Irrigated
under the direction of the chief engi
neer -of the investigation during the
year 1891 has proved so successful that
the farmers .vnd people generally were
greatly encouraged. C.ipltal that was
about to bo withdrawn was Induced to
remain , and now Investments were made
on every hand. The same is true of
ether localities. In Nebraska , whora in
181)0 ) there was not n slnglo Irrigation
enterprise In practical operation , there
are at this tlmo scores of sep.irnto works
under way In the wostoi-n and north
western counties , by means of which n
largo area will bo brought under culti
vation heretofore occupied exclusively
as n stock range. In western Kansas
the bimoflcttil inllucticos , direct nnd In
direct , have boon as strongly felt ns In
the Dnkotns.
When the work wnq begun two years
ago the counties west of the 100th me
ridian of longitude were on the verge of
being wholly abandoned for agricultural
purposes Since it has booh demon
strated beyond all doubt by the Investi
gation instituted by the government that
there oxi.sls an abundant undorllow of
water in the valleys of the Arkansas and
Itumibllcon rivers in Kansas , of the
South Plntto in northeastern Colorado ,
und the North Platte in riol'thwcst
Nebraska , which may bo easily
and cheaply utilized for irrigation ,
fears caused by recurrent drouth
in these regions have largely disap
peared. This report will help to com
pletely wipe out those fears nnd encour
age immigration and capital to How into
these localities. No loss encouragement
has boon given by the worlc dotallod In
the rouort to agricultural enterprises
nnd industry in western Kansas. , south
west Colorado , eastern Now Moxloo and
throughout Texas west of the 97th merid
ian. In summing up the economic pos
sibilities of the investigation undbr con
sideration , the special agent of the
Agricultural department says :
"Thoro is not a farm of 100 acres in
extent , located upon the great plains
region , , upon which tho.fanneir nocdfall
in the worst year of drouth to obtain a
living for himself , family and stock ,
keeping free from debt 'also , provided
ho will utili/.Q the srnnllmaturaL supplies
of water beneath lib feet , .ami content
himself with direct -cultivation
of only so much jol i , th6f land
In his posBossion ns"
to maka certain the supply indicated.
The rainfall every where 'appears
to bo so conserved by the'lilitUro of the
known stratum beneath the $6iU that any
man with a quarter section can secure
and distribute the requisite moisture
that may bo absolutely noo'donl for from
ton to thirty acres of tillabto ground.
Thirty well tilled and watorcid. acres
will feed and care for family and stock ,
and will also enable the plains filmier to
enlarge and take bottar caro"of his
stock , thereby increasing incoma and
aiding him to obtain , in the near future
and as necessary , a greatoi' shiiro of a
more permanent water supply. "
It is very generally aupposed.that the
interest in the subject of the robert is
confined to the arid regions of the west
and southwest. This is not the case.
The interest aroused in the subject in
the sections of the country most largely
allcctod by heavy precipitation and con
stant humidity Ss almost as widespread
and intense. For each OScuni : > lo' the
southern states have furnished : i largo
amount of valuable information on the
subject , illustrating the fact that in'sych
states as Louisiana , Alabama and Texas
the tropic heat of summer , with its
attendant evaporation , tends rapidly to
produce droutli in the growing season ,
and , ns a consequence , the security of
the commercial crops "grown 'In the
Gulf states is materially atTectcd.
The irrigation problem in Florida is
destined to become ono of utmost scien
tific interest and of vital imporlineoi to
soil culture. EspeciallyiWilt-thls. beso
in the eastern part of that state , where
artesian water , by moans' of wells , can
unquestionably bo utlli/.od to make se
cure the orange orchards and vegetable

M. Hlbot have persuaded the presi

To malio a long story short , M. Constans
was hedged. This is what wo learn from the
ox-dlplomatlst sent tu London.
It Is cortalnly curious thatRoohofort novcr
attacked M. do Froycmot or M. Hlbot , aud
It is beyond question that , the onslaught of
the pamphleteer did much to hasten M. Con
stans1 downfall.
The matter will bo brought before the
Chamber tomorrow and wo shall knoxv
whether the nlloirod compact was a fact by
M. Constans' friends asttlng M. do Fro.vclnet
something like this :
"Is it true that you , ' French minister ,
after having had Hochofort condemned for
Uoulanglsm , entered into negotiations with
him In order to bring about the upset of n
colleague ( "
Unless the minister can provo the falseness -
ness of the cbargqthoy will declare him un-
(
wortny to controlitho , French army nnd call
for his resignation. In this case the public
may sympathize with M. Constans , though
it was weary enough of him.
Wo seem to 'bo on the eve ot n fresh
ooriod of crisis , arid If It can bo shown that
M. Carnet acted in uccord with M. do Prey-
cinetthdposition.of the now cabinet will bo
unpleasant. .

Nnw OHI.EAN * . La. , March 2. After the
fight tlio leading sporting mon present ,
fighters , newspaper men , sports and others
gathered in Iho rooms of the Olympic club
and discussed the fight nnd the merits of the
men , Charley Mitchell nnd Slavm were to
pother. Said Mitchell with emphasis when
asked his opinion :
Mahcr ought to bo a hamod to own him
self nn Irishman , and Irishmen ought to bn
ashMnod that ho Is ono of tham. Ho is the
most cowardly lighter to my mind that over
stopper ! Into the ring. Fllzsiinmons , on tbo
ether hand , Is n wonderfully olovor lighter
and n surprise. "
"I agree with that , " chimed In Slavln , ' .vho
was standing behind him. "Fltz Is a very
olovor lighter nnd very shifty , t am more
than pleased nt tbo result , because Mahcr is
n man who has built up an advertisement on
the nohlovctnonts of ether pooplo. "
Think It Was n Him l'l ht.
.Tim Hall , Pitzsimmons * old enemy. Bat In a
front scat and walchod the ll ht with Parson
Uavlos , When It was over ho said : "It was
a very good contest , imlcod. "
Hofcreo Uulfey was cuually laconic. "I
think Manor test because ho is "a fighter that
cannot stand punishment , " wns the opinion
ho oxprcssad on the contest.
Billy Myor said It was n coed light.
In his opinion it wns Pltzslmtnono' light after
the Urst round.
Sporting Lifo Hopresontatlvo Gallagher of
Londomthought the light was the best rogn-
lar tournament ho hud over nttnndcd. Ho
sent bulletins of th ? llgnt to London und got
word from England that Pleat street wns
packed with people. lie thinks FltzAltnmoiis
showed surprising ability in getting away
from Mnherand said that the Australian
won mainly because ho was-tho bettor man
of thu'two. '
I'llTickled to Dancing ;
Filzsitnmons. as soon as the battle was
over , danced around the ring with delight.
The crowd nresscd around him and nearly
sjiook hU hand off. Ho wns unmarked und
as .cblppor us a bird. When ho suc
ceeded in tearing himself nwav from
his enthusiastic friends , ho 'pushed
his' way through the crowd nnd went to
his room , whore , without assistance , bo
quicltly donned bis street clothes. Ho was
in tno best of humor , but bad nothing to say
uxeopt that ho was satlstlcd beforehand that
ho would win. Ho did not remain any length
of tlmo at'tho club but , with his party , en
tered a carriago'nnd drove up town , promis
ing to call in the morning for the big end of
whav ho fought for the puwo.
N"o Wonder , ludnctl.
Aftfr * ho fight the doom m Mahor's ' quar
ters was thick-enough to cut with a knlfo.
Manor remained in the ring soao tlmo after
Ih : battle was over , whllo his seconds
washed tha blood from hU face. His corner
after tho"Jjg'ht.resembled a slaughter pen.
When nn. reached his room ho put on his
clothos'nnd stuffed a moist handkorchiaf into
ui * moutn'to stanch the How of blood. Mad
den , Holland , Tuthill nnd others were with
htm. and they were all very much cast down
over the result.
When the Associated Press representative
was admitted into the room. Madden said :
"Fitzsitnmons punished him In ono place all
the tlmo. "
Was a Fulfil gilt.
"Tho blood was flowing from Maher's
mouth and was choking him. In the
eleventh round. " continued Madden , "I saw
ho had no chance to win nnd told him
ho had Hotter quit. It was no use
to go on. If tbo fight hud continued Manor
would have boon put out completely , and
there- was no need for that. Our man was
not In as good condition as ho ought to havo.
been , butof course that was no excuse. Wo
had plenty of tlmo to got ready and
ought not to complain , " concluded Madden.
"The light wnj perfectly fair. Wo havu no
cbmplaiut to make , for It was satisfactorily
contested and squarely lost. We shall stay
hero a day or two and thou tro homo. "
\v Malicr's uuper Up was puffed out and ho
looked the picture of woo.
"I have very llttlo to'soy , " Maher replied
to an , inquiry , ' 'except that Fitz was too
clover for uio. Ho was very skillful in
getting away. 1 had him out in tbo first
lound , but the bell prevented mo from finish
ing him. Flt/simmons is a nice , clean ,
gentlemanly Hunter. "
"Mahcr broke a blond vessel and the blood
choUed him" said Billy Mncey. "Ho could
iiot'yb'further bccauso ho was unable to
broatho. That Is the old story. Wo bavo
been whipped aud are sorry for iu Wo have
no fault-to-litul with tua contest. "
Was Only-ii Oiuntlon of Time.
ManyfSporjttng man say Manor was miscr-
'
ab'ly handled by his secoirJs , while others
resisted that" the Iiishmuu's stubbornness
had a great deal to do with his defeat.
jt Is hardly within tno range of possibility
that Mahur could have won If ho had pro-
lonfiod the contest ! , but the mon who backed
him woulfl unvu boon glad to have seen him
make the attempt ; As it was ho quit before
ho was knocked out. Ot the 0,000 who wit
nessed the contest few except these
who were backing Maher were sore
that ho wealtencd bcforo the Itnoolt-
out blnw was administered. It was moioly
u question 6f tlmo at the best. Fltzslmmous
would surely have linishod him in the next
round. It-was a gruesome spsctaclo to sea
Fitz , round alter' round drawing blood from
Manorunfl ( tlio former's loft boxing glove
wai , dyed red.
J'iU U u Wonder.
On tbo other hand , do what ho could ,
Mahdr could not touch KiU. Ho stuck U ) it
ganiojy , , and every time ho hit at the Aus
tralian ho' was foiled by a clovur dodgo.
Filzstmmons did not turn n hair dur
ing the contest and cnmo out of the
btrunslo without a scratch. The best in-
fpnnedauthorities in the pugilistic world
to/iight / freely declare their opinion that ho
can xvbin''any man of bis weight In the

Tho'preliminary bout between Slavln and
MHcholl'did nut impress the crowd favor

llltoly to bo invosticatod by a com mitten of
tbo house of representatives , nnd the frequent -
quont charges that have been made against
the staeo coach abuse in the great govern

every opportunity given for the substantial
grounds of those allegations. Hopresontatlvo
MoHaa of Arkansas today Introduced a reso
lution directing tbo committee on public
lands to investigate and report by bill or
otherxvlso the circumstances under which
tbo looses for hotel and stage coach privi
leges xvoro awarded in 1839 to the Yciloxv-
stone National Park association , but after
wards rescinded and. forfeited , aud then
axvardod to S. S. Huntley. Tbucommittao is
also directed to maHo full inquiry into the
manner of administering the affairs of the
park , particularly touching leases and
privileges and the management of the pant
generally by the Interior department , and It
is authorized to designate a aub-comtnlttco
and have full poxvor to send for persons and
papers.
Mr. Mcltao asked unanimous consent for
tbo immediate adoption of the resolution , but
Mr. Buchanan of Nexv Jersey thought itiat
the mutter was ono wnich should llrst bo re
ported to the committee on rules , and on his
objection the resolution was referred to that
committee.
Hon. 1C. L. Payson , for many years a mem
ber of congrois nnd chairman of tbo publlu

the statements of Mr. Puyson.
Lately the matter has fallen a political
turn , bv the allegations of noxvapapor.s that
certain Montana politicians hnvo boon fav

leases. Kocroury ) Noble and K S. Glbaou
ol the Yolloxvstono Park nosociatlon have

his old. master , not very long ago , of ono
