WASHINGTON , May I * . ( Special Telo-
gram.-Clilcf ) ot 1'ollcoV. . S. Scavcjr of
Omaha , ai preslJcnt of the Chiefs of Police
union , at 11 o'clock today rapped to order the
second annual convention of the Police union.
IIo used an Immense Jack knife for a gavel
and was cheered by the assemblage as he
Bwims It aloft and whacked the desk before
him.
Commlraloncr Rosa of the District of Co
lumbia delivered a pretty address of welcome
and 1'rnldent Seavey replied In a very happy
manner. Commissioner Ko 9 was vociferously
nppliit'el when ho Bald : "I am one of those
who believe a municipal government should
be conducted throughout on the merit system.
I believe that appointments , Including the po
lice , should bo based on merit , promotions on
efficiency , and that there should be no re
movals except for cause. I also believe that
all these should be relieved from that power
Jtnown aa 'Influence. ' The only question
should be what \s \ the be.it for the municipal
ity , and that the worthy and clllclcnt man
should be given the opportunity to advance.
IlusliiMs men , whose goods he protects , arc
apt to be- his friends , who will be glad to
BCO him promoted. There ate heroes among
those blue-coatol guardians of the peace. .Men
who lack the quality of good cotm.-ion sense
will get on the force , but the majority ot
them are crcdltu to their department ! . How
often business houses left open to marauders
nre guarded by policemen as It they were
personally Interested. Itow often wayward
ilrl ; nrc kept from disgrace by an officer.
And I can truthfully say that for every
'boodler * discovered on the force of any city
there arc COO men who do their duty without
falling. "
SBAVBY'S ANNUAL ADDIIES3.
President Seavey thanked the District of
Columbia for Its cordial welcome , which has
been extended to ( he clilcfj of police , and ex
pressed the unanimous sentiment ot the mem
bers of the Police union when he stated that
the national capital Is a model ot the results
of perfect police discipline. He was applauded
when he raid that there have been no crooks
visibly hero since our members began to ar
rive. He said that with Increased population
in great cltlw crime Is Increasing , and It Is
the duty of the police systems to control and
ubdiio these conditions.
Chief Seavey filled his position with credit
and his annual address cvcked general ap
proval. The election of Chief Kldrldge of
Boston to the presidency for the ensuing year
was exceedingly Interesting. He declln d to
permit his name to bo used , but was electd
unanimously. Ho undertook to make
speech of declination , but Lieutenant Amiss
of thli city began to toot his distress call and
all the other members cf the union drew
their whistles and made such a din with their
whistle and clapping of hands that the Uos-
tontan gave up In despair , and , as he as
sumed the chair , declared "That ho had been
run In without having committed any olleiise
whatever. "
The chief * all cried , : "The same old story , '
and he wn.s Inducted Into office. A majority
of these chiefs of police are dwelling at the
aamo hotel with a lot ot Baptist ministers.
who are attending a conference of their de
nomination , and Chief Savey siya that a
number of the guardians of the peace have
been mlUaken for clergymen and asked all
sorts of questions concerning r ° generatlon and
sanctlflcatlon during the past t\\o days.
Harry O. Carr of Grand Rapids , Mich ,
was re-elected secretary and treasurer.
Moat of the time this forenoon was spcni
In sight seeing.
The- question of receiving rewards for the
cipturc of criminate monopoll/ed the after
noon session. The consensus of opinion was
that the whole system of offering rewards was
vicious In principle anil In its effects. Sev
eral chiefs related their exper'ence In trying
to discourage the pyatem , ami told cf the
differences between otllcers of different Juris
dictions over the division of prize- moneys ,
It was proposed that the members of th
union pledge themselves to forbid the !
subordinates to accept rewards , but Eevera
members pointed out that the matter was
not In their control , but was controlled b :
the police boards , and finally a resolution was
adopted by unanimous \ote that the pollc
departments represented hereafter nelthe
would demand nor require payment of any
reward for arrests made by their officers.
President Cleveland received the membr :
of the union and ladles accompanying them
at the white house at 4 o'clock.

WASHINGTON , May H. The work ol
mapping the water lines of the United States ,
with special reference to the artesian well
of the western states. Is being carried on
Btcadlly under charge of F. H. Newell of th
geological survey. Mr. Newell Is now preparing
paring a summary of the more recent work
which will BOOH be ready for publication.
California stands at the head of the states
in the matter ot artesian wells , having abou
bulf of those In the country Inside of he
borders. Utah and Colorado come next , fol
lowed a long distance behind by Texas an
other states. Artesian well boring Is ot com
paratlvely recent origin , few wells being more
than a dozen yeurs old. Since 13S4 attempt :
to tlnd Hawing water tmve been made nl
over the west , but have been successful onlj
in limited areas , although wells that furuls !
un important supply which can be pumpec
out by means of machinery have been fount
nearly everywhere. It has been ascertalnei
in many places , however , that the stream o
water secured from the wells Is too smal
to- Irrigate a very largo erea. la the hotte
parts of tlie country the thinly soil drink ;
up the water before It gets more than IOC
feet from the well and It can only be carrlet
further by means of wooden gutters , or b ;
accumulating It In a reservoir , until enougl
Is secured to produce a stream that can trave
for eomo distance before drying up. An ad
dlttonal advantage of a reservoir Is that th
water Is allowed to get warm before beln.
put on the vegetation. Artesian water I :
usually cold , and sometimes Injures crop :
If admitted before being warmed.
It la very dlfllcult by any means , short o
tctual experiments , to determine whether ar
teslan water can bo found In the locality
This Is what Is generally termed the sub
humid , as opposed to the and land. In th
Uakotua there is a great belt , the lower strat
of which are comparatively uniform , althoug
covered over to a considerable depth by th
glacial drift , and In this water can always b
found. Ill Texas there Is another belt , als
lub-humid , where wells are reliable. Aroun
Denver ( hero Is a district that was once
very fine artesian country , but so many well
have been bored that the water has bee
nearly exhausted and many of the- wells hav
ceased to flow.
Thcro is a series of wells to the east o
Bait Lake , In Utah , which are ot excellen.
quality and persistency. The water comes
from the Wasatch range of mountains and I :
intercepted on Its underground way to th
lake. It would be dllllcult to exhaust till
belt by ny number ot wells. The Uenve
supply was exhausted because the water cam
only from a short distance away and was no
very plentiful.
There U a small artesian belt near Mile ;
City. Mont. , and another near Las Vegas
N. H.
The most Interesting district lies In east
em Colorado and western Kansas. Here tli
ground slopes from the- west down to tin
east and there arc. continual falls In th
strata , preventing the water from travelln
for any very great distance. Where th.
strata are not faulted , they are undulating
and wells sunk near the center part of th
long undulations usually tap water that ha
Rowed there from each side of ( he undulation.
1'tnv of theto wells flow , but 'hey can be
worked by windmills , a motive power thn
Is icldom exhausted In that part of the coun
try. The so wells are small ud will Irrlgat
only a few acres at the best. Mr , Newel
thinks that If the farmers there were read.
to cultivate only aa much land around the !
housesas they conld Irrigate by means of
their wulli and devote the remainder ot their
farms 19 grailnp , or perhaps to wheat occa
sionally , they would be far better oft tfjan
now.

WASHINGTON , May 14. The sixth annual
convention ot the state railway commission
ers was called to order at the Interstate
Commerce commtsslou rooms today. , A dele
gate from the. Association of Railway Ac-
Diluting Officers participated In the dlac.is-
Ions. Mr. Allen Tort of Georgia acted as
halnnan and Secretary E. A. Mosley of
ho Interstate Commerce commission as sec-
etary. Prof. Adams , statistician of the com
mittee on railway statistics , read the com
mittee's annual report.
Tha conclusions ot the committee were
hat practically the only unit of tra-Jlc ircve-
ment now arrived at Is the revenue per ton
. or mile ; a unit considered unsatisfactory.
The committee considered It would be ad
visable In the future to undertake a freight
uoveiucnt and freight revenue , so that the
evenuo per ton per mile for each Kind of
rclght could bo secured , as was suggested
at the last convention. In view of the fact
hat the cost ot this system would be r.bout
1,000,000 , and of the depressed condition of
allway business , the committee recommend-
(1 ( that the report He on the table. Most of
ho morning was spent In discussion of the
eport and the action upon It was post
poned.
At the afternoon session James Peabody ,
dltor of the Railway Age , read a paper on
Protection to Public Interest During Kall-
way Labor Contests. "
Much ot the time was consumed In discuss-
ng a resolution ottered by Commissioner
Tresburg of Minnesota , declaring that a
considerable number ot citizens of the
United States believed It to be for the best
nterests of the people that the government
own and operate the railroads ; that there
.vas . no reliable data accessible to the public
of the cost and value of railroads ; that the
question was one of great Importance In the
consideration of rate cases by commissions
and courts , and that the convention should
petition the next congress to consider the ad
visability and feasibility of ascertaining the
cost and present value of railway property
and the probable cost of reproducing the
roads. The resolution was finally laid on
the table.
After the session the commissioners went
o the white house In a body and were re
ceived by the president.

WASHINGTON , May 14. In ths Southern
Daptlat convention , during consideration of
the report on the Pagan field , Dr. Graves ,
for .thirty years a missionary at Canton ,
hlna , eloquently urged aggressive work In
China , declaring that the result of the war
n Asia would be to open China to modern
thought and enlightenment. Now Is the
time for Christianity to strike , he asserted.
J. D. Christian of Kentucky , reported the
work among the foreigners In the United
States who , he declared , represent 15 per
cent of the population. Referring to the
concentration of the alien population In the
big cities , he said : "Five cities contain
one-sixth of the population of this country.
Those cities are dominated by foreigners ,
and the foreigners are dominated by rum
and Romanism. We must evangelize them
or they will overwhelm us. The foreigners
of our cities must be overthrown and the
laws administered. Every Baptist church
Is worth 100 policemen. "
The feature of the evening session was an
eloquent and earnest address by Rev , J. D.
Hawthorne ot Georgia on the history , work
and future prospects ot the Southern Baptist
conference. The address was a practical an
nouncement that the time for a reunion of
the northern and southern churches had not
come and BO far as the southern Baptist con
ference was concerned , was a thing of In
definite future. An understanding ot the
history and work of conference , he said ,
would do much toward harmonizing the
northern and southern churches , not in one
body , because he said that was not desirable ,
but It would bring the Haplsts , north and
south , together , as Christian brothers.

WHAT THE TROUBLE IS AIL ABOUT
trade Wanted Ills Hlilp Itrpnircd ac
lirooklyn nnd the Uepnrmont Ordered
It to Norfolk Order * Changed
to Salt the Admiral.
WASHINGTON , May 14. Secretary Her.
brt today. In response to Inquiries , dictated
he following ofllclal ttatement concerning
dmlral Meade : "At the Navy department
oday It was learned that the department had
.ddressed a letter to Admiral Mead ? , stat-
ng that It desired to know If ho was wiling
'
ng to answer whether he had or had not
uthcrtzed what purported to be an Inter-
lew with him published In the New York
Tribune , and that he had replied , acknowl
edging the receipt of the letter and declining
a answer the questious. The facts In rcli-
lon to the failure ot the department to
; rant Admiral Meade's request to have the
Cincinnati ordered to the New York lnstad I
f to the Norfolk yard are that this vessel
was ordered to go to the Norfolk yard for
icmc necessary repairs. This was don ? on
he reco.T-mendatlon of the chief constructor ,
> vho desired that the work , which Is now
carce at both yards , might be equally
divided between the Norfolk and Brooklyn
ards.
"Admiral Meade , who had selected the
'fnclnnati ' for his flagship during the nb-
scnca of the New York , was thereupon
irdered to hoist his flag upon that vessel
upon her arrival at Norfolk , In the- Interim
hoisting his flag on the Minneapolis. He
afterward forwarded a second request to the
department to have the Cincinnati ordered
to New York Instead of to Norfolk. On the
lay when this latter request was rjcelved
Secretary Herbert was not In the department
at any time , Assistant Secretary McAdco
being In charge. He did not act on the re-
qti'st , as he did not think It proper to take
any action In , the matter until the secretary's
return. On the next morning , when Secre
tary Herbert came to his olHce , this letter
having been brought to his attention , he
at once summoned before him the chief con
structor and after conferring with him and
Assistant Secretary McAdoo Jointly decided
to order Cincinnati to New York , and at
once ordered Admiral Ramsay , who was
present , to make- out orders to Intercept the
ship at Hampton Roads and order her ba"k
to New York. He also directed orders to be
made out to Admiral Meade notifying Mm
of this change , "and the orders both to the
admiral and to the ship were written and
ready to be signed when a letter came In
the noon mall from Admiral Meide asking
to be detached from the squadron , which re
quest the secretary granted. "
This constitutes all the Information that .
could b obtained and leaves the Inference
that the action , If any , to bo taken against
Admiral Meade Is not yet determined.

WASHINGTON , May 14. An ugly crisis
las been reached In the negotiations between I
the United States and Great Britain looking
to the adoption of uniform relations for the
government of the seal fishery this season.
The British government positively refuses to
re-enact the regulations of last year , which
prohibited the carrying of firearms by sealIng -
Ing vessels through the zone north of the
twenty-fifth parallel during the closel sea-1
son. The United States officials look upon
this as disastrous to the seal fisheries , holding
that the result will be to relieve the pelagic
sealers of the only restriction which has oper
ated to prevent an unlimited slaughter of the
herds. While killing by firearms remains Il
legal , It Is realized that it will be Impossible
to enforce this prohibition If arms can be
freely carried , for the sealers would kill se
cretly unlew they should happen to bo under
the very eyeof / a revenue cutter.
Meanwhile- the United States cutlers have
gene out under the old Instructions to seize
all vei'sels carrying arms not under seal
These must be modified speedily by or-Jors

pany's t-tcamer , which leaves San Francisco
In a day or two , or else there may be an
other big clrlm for damages on account of
Illegal seizures filed by the British govern
ment The attitude of the latter Is viewed
with much dissatisfaction at the Stale de
partment , where It Is regarded as an evidence
of the unwarrantable concession to the Cana
dian pelagic Dealers. It Is ala held that the
effect of the British action Is to practically
nullify all measures of protection for the
seals that was conferred by the Paris arbitra
tion , and it would not be surprising If this
course is persisted in if It resulted In a de
claration by the United States of the abroga
tion ot the treaty. .
