s THE MOKNIN(x OREGCXNIAN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER , 1WZ. MERGER IS BEATEN irrigation Congress Will Re tain its Identity. FIERCE PARLIAMENTARY FIGHT James M. Moore, of Oregon, Presents Minority Report, Which. Is Adopt ed, Agrainst Amalgamation ' With Other- Organization. COLORADO SPRINGS. Colo., Oct. 8. The National Irrigation Congress -will re tain its identity as an independent organ ization, at least for a time. This was decided hy a vote of 133 to 91 at 10 o'clock tonight by those delegates to the con gress -who weathered one of the fiercest parliamentary storms ever seen In Colorado- Springs. No political convention that has been held In this city for years has witnessed a more interesting or hard er fought contest that that waged among the delegates at the congress this after noon and tonight over the report of the committee on permanent organization, which consisted In a recommendation by 14 out of 64 members of the committee that the National .Irrigation Congress merge with the Trans-Mlsslsslppi Con gress, the former to constitute one of the branches of the organization to be created by the proposed merger. The minority report was read by James M. Moore, of Oregon. All speech-making of the day and to night was of very great interest George Maxwell, of Chicago, president of the Na tional Irrigation Association, supported by nearly all the old-time Irrigation work ers, sought to bring about the merger, feeling that the work of the Irrigation Congress as an agent for the agitation of a National irrigation law had accom plished its work. F. J. Kelsel, of Og den, Utah, supported at the start by only a part of his own delegation, suc-v ceeded in working up a sentiment in the pongress that it would be better to de fer action on the proposed merger until the next annual congress, and a motion to that effect made by ex-Senator Carey, of Wyoming, finally disposed of the gues tlon so far as the present congress Is concerned. Ogden Liiltely to Get Xext Meeting'. Mr. Kelsel came hero with the Intention of taking the next congress to Ogden, If possible, and the Indications now are that he will have no opposition. After the merger was disposed of to night, F. R. Newell, Chief Hydrographer of the Government, and Elwood Meade, of Wyoming, head of the Irrigation De partment of Agriculture, addressed the congress. The congress this morning was ad dressed by Representatives Tawney, Morris and Stevens, of Minnesota, all of whom $ook tho irrigation legislation and Its history and possibilities for a theme. Mr, Tawney, especially, made a strong address, and was enthusiastically re ceived by the delegates, who regard him as more responsible than any one else for the overcoming of opposition in the House of Representatives In the consid eration of tho irrigation act. Ex-Senator Carey, of Wyoming; Hon. R. W. Boyngo, of Colorado; Professor L. G. Carpenter, of the Colorado State Agricultural Col lege; Westley A. Stuart, of South Dakota; Professor Thomas Shaw, of the Minne sota Agricultural College, and Thomas Holland, representing Commander Booth Tucker, of the Salvation Army, also spoko during the., morning session. The aTferndbh' session was' opened with reports of the progress of irrigation In the entire Irrigation belt given by the state engineers or other prominent dele gates from the different states. Merger Fieht Comes Up. The fight over the proposition to merge the Irrigation and Trans-Mlssisslppl Con gresses into one organization came up hy special order at 4 o'clock. E. R. Moses, of Kansas, chairman of the committee on permanent organization, read the re port which favored the merger. A minority report was read by. James W. Moore, of Oregon. Then followed a stirring and vigorous debate. Mr. Moses made a strong appeal for the merger. "The Inclination of the age," he said, "Is toward combination of effort in all directions. This combination will be not orie of dollars, however, but for doing things, a combination whose resolutions upon any subject Congresr would be bound to place great weight upon." Mr. Mooro said his objection was the general one that the Irrigation Congress should continue Its own work in the cause. The debate that followed brought most of the irrigation states Into the discussion, and the audience of fully 600 people remained in the hall until nearly 7 o'clock, when adjournment for supper was taken. Daniel Lawler, the golden-tongued ora tor of the Minnesota bar, favored tho merger in a notable speech. -Given, of New Mexico, chairman of tho executive committee of the Trans-Mississippi Con gress, spoke In favor of the merger, as also did D. L. Falrchlld, of California, and others. The opposition to tho merger was led by Major R. W, Young, of Salt Lake, of the famous Utah Battery of volunteer service In the .Philippines. He was supported by State Engineer Mc Cune, of Colorado; State Engineer Wells of Idaho; E. R. Moses, of Kansas; W. B. Sands, of Montana; C. W. Gavin, of New Mexico: A. Kino- Wliwn nt gon; A. B. Crane, of South Dakota; C.. iau.ji, oi niortn ijajcota; A. F. Dore mus, of Utah; E. H. Llbbey, of Wash ington, and Henry A. Coffecn, of Wyom ing, these gentlemen being followed by C. M. Hobbs. purchasing agent of the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad, and Frank Trumbull, president of the Colo rado & Southern. President Maxwell, of the National Ir rigation Association, favored the pro posed merger in a speech of more than an hour. John Henry Smith, president of the Trans-Mississippi Congress, made a strong argument to the same end. Re cess until 8 o'clock was then taken. On reconvention a motion by ex-Senator Carey, or; Wyoming, to postpone the mat ter until the next session of the con gress was carried. " PAPER BY BOOTH-TUCKER, Irrigation Law Means a Full Dinner Pail All the Time. COLORADO SPRINGS, Oct. 8. Colonel Thomas Holland, National colonization secretary of the Salvation Army, read the paper prepared by Commander Booth Tucker. After referring to the success of the efforts of the Salvation Army in re moving worthy but poor families, fur nishing them with the necessary capital and settling them as homeowners upon the land, the commander said: "The fact that the present irrigation congress has included In Its deliberations this great question of colonization, and has set its imprimatur upon its possibil ity nay. necessity will undoubtedly place the subject in an entirely new light before the country, and will give to colonization an Impetus, the influence of which will leave Its mark upon the generations to zome. Titus colonization, as the hand maid of irrigation, will bring within the reach of the latter new confidence and possibilities, arid irrigation will prepare Tor colonization new realms of possibility, while these combined sciences will open oefore the working classes of this coun try new vistas of help and hope; will recreate that bulwark of National pros perity., the small farmer, and will provide n immediate home mnrket for our pro Suctions, making It easier for the masses of our population to be and do good and to fulfill the obligations of citizenship and th dictates of God and conscience. "Thus we may well hope that the bul warks of National prosperity "may, with the blessing of God. be strengthened and maintained, the dangers of discord be minimized, and the harmonizing influences of religion be extended. And, what is more, the political party which will assist by legslatlon the twin brothers, irrigation and- colonization, will surely Intrench itself deeply In the affections of the peo ple to whom It would prove itself to be a true benefactor. It would not only be. a full dinner pall' today, but tomorrow and the day after. Such policy, it seems to me, breathes the very essence of Chris tianity." - ' k Faneral Directors in Session.

Operators Refuae to Discuss Claims of Men Employes Number 102,000 0,000 Belong to Union. PARIS, Oct. 8. The National committee oC the French Miners' Federation has de cided to declare a general strike, to begin tomorrow. It is estimated that 42,000 men have already struck in the northern coal fields, and that 5000 men have struck around St. Etionne. The committee has Issued a manifesto, addressed to the miners In the United States, England, Germany, Belgium and .Austria, which declares In part: "The cause we aro defending is common to all. We are pushed to the last extrem ity In fighting to obtain a slight Improve ment in our miserable condition, more equitable remuneration with regard to our work for the present and legislation shel tering us against the needs of old age. We aro sure you undersfand your duty. We leave to you the Initiative in such matters which are most convenient to you in assisting us in this struggle." In con1 elusion, the manifesto says: "Long live the miners of the International Union." The manifesto then appeals to troops mobilized against the miners to remember the conduct of Colonel St. Remeny in re fusing to obey orders during the Britanny school troubles, which were contrary to his conscience. The .decision of the National committee of the Miners' Federation to declare a general strike throws the responsibility upon the raineowners, because the latter have declined to discuss the claims of the miners. The mineowners took this atti tude on the ground that tho questions of the regulation of work and old-age pen sions . were now before the Parliament committee, and the strike had already broken out without warning and without motives. The Temps calculates that the French miners number 162,000 men, of whom only C0.000 belong to the federation. The prob ability of a rise in the price of domestic -and factory coal is beginning to be seri ously discussed.

PARLIAMENT IN A TUMULT. Ilnngrarinna Wax Hot Over Negotia tions With Austria. BUDAPEST, Oct 8. The lower house of tho Hungarian Parliament reassembled today, with a repetition of the tumultu ous scenes which marked the last session. Vice-President Barabas, a Kossuthlst, declared that the recent negotiations looking . to the further renewal of the agreement fixing the proportionate cost of the administration of the common af fairs of Austria-Hungary had been un availing, and asserted that Austria was trying to despoil and ruin Hungary with the connivance of the Emperor-King. Amid a tremendous uproar which his re marks created, Herr Barabas shouted that while he bowed respectfully before the King, he must adhere to his opinion regarding the Emperor. Barabas was thereupon informed that if he used such expressions he would not be allowed to speak. This led the Leftists to declare that all steps to arrive at an agreement with Austria would be blocked. Premier DcSzell then arose, and speak ing at first amid an indescribable up roar said: "It has been insinuated that it is His Majesty's Intention to ruin the destiny of Hungary. This statement I most solemnly and categorically repel. I as sure you His Majesty has always pre served the most strict neutrality." The Premier 'explained that while recognizing-the undying merits of Kossuth, the latter had placed himself at variance with the whole nation in maintaining that the Emperor of Austria could never be King of Hungary, hence it was im possible for the government to attend the festivities in Kossuth's honor.

It feels as if the disease were in the hones or muscles, but the real cause of rheumatism is found in impure blood. In order to cure rheumatism Jhe blood must be cleansed of the poisonous impurities which are the cause of the disease. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has been very successful in the cure of rheumatism, be cause it entirely cleanses the blood from the poison ous substancei which are the cause of the dis ease. It not only purifies the blood but by increasing the activity of tho blood-making viands, it increases the supply of pnre, rich blood which adds to the vigor of every physical organ. Mr.R.A.McKnIgbt, of Cades. Williams burg Co.. S. C, writes : "I had been, troubled with rheumatism for twelve veare. so bad at times I could uot leave my bed. I was "badly crippled. Tried many doctors and two of them gave me up to die. None of them did &e much good. The pains in my bacX hips and legs (aad at times in my head), would nearly kill me. My appetite was very bad. Everybody who saw me said I must die. I took five bottles of the 'Golden Medical Discovery,' and four vials of 1 Pellets,' and to-day my health i good after suffering twelve years with rbeumatiim." The sole motive for substitution is to permit the dealer to make the little more 'profit paid by the sale of less meritorious medicines. He gains ; you lose. Therefore accept no substitute for "Golden Medical Discovery Dr; Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cleanse the bowels and stimulate the sluggish liver.
