Tht tenth National Irrigation congress opened jht I o'clock thli afternoon, under circum stance especially ausplclcui. 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 gresa arrived in the city yesterday and found everything In readiness for the three daya' convention. Delegates poured in by very train and the Indication are that 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.

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. i ONE CABLE SECTION DOWN Coloala f roni Vancouver Safely smd Easily Reaches Fanning Island with the Straad.

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.

BOSTON. Oct. . William M. Wood and James M.

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.

LAWS WHICH WOULD ANNIHILATE TRUSTS Might Kill the Patlcat, bat the Hated Monopolies Weald Be Wiped Off the Face of the lalted States. (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? Drastlo Remedy Prescribed. Third A law that will discriminate be tween the natural man created by the Al mighty and the corporate giant created by legislation. Let the natural man of one atate do buciness In every other state If he choees, but whenever any state creates a corporation large enough to monopolize an Industry, et that corporation be shut up in the state ot its origin; let It re de nied the use of the malls, the railroads and the telegraph lines and It can be destroyed. This Is the Kansas City platform remedy for the trusts, and It ts the only remedy projosed. Fourth A law taking the tariff off of coal. It tfaa been generally supposed that anthracite coal was on the free list, but most of the anthracite which comes Into competition with our anthracite Is of so low 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 snd Impartiality If It Is engaged In competi tion with mine owners who have no rail roads. FIRST NIGHT OF DONNA ROMA 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.

"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 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.
