BLOW AT IRRIGATION. Hitchcock Refutes fj Approve Fro jact In the Northwest. Washington, Nov. 13. Following close upon Secretary Taft't refusal to recommend an appropriation for con tinuing the improvement of the mouth of the Columbia river comet Secretary Hitchcock's refusal to approve the Umatilla Irrigation project in Oregon, and the Okanogan and Tietan project, In Washington, all of which have been pronounced feasible by the reclamation engineers, and all of which were re cently submitted to Mr. Hitchcock for his approval. Lack of funds is given as his reason for taming down all three projects. Mr. Hitchcock finds that be baa al lotted all the money in the reclamation fund and about $.'1,000,000 in excess. He concludes that it it time to check these allotments, and is determined to accumulate a surplus before more work is undertaken. He therefore Intends tj hold back on new pn j ct until July 1, it which time, it is estimated, there will lie a surplus on hand of about $3,- 000,000. Mr. Hitchcock find nothing wrong with the engineering feature of these projit-tt, but he is entering upon a new policy of distributing money out of the reclamation fund, and his reform is put in force just at the time when Oregon and Washington were in line for lecogmtion. Another thing that develops in con nection with the refusal to approve the Umatilla, Okanogan and Tietan projects ia the determination of the secretary to hereafter confine allotments of reclama tion funds to 61 per cent of the amount contributed by the various states and territories. It is unfortunate for Ore gon and Washington that this rule is adopted at thia late day, but, if it be ived up to ttrictly, the secretary should at once expend 12.500,000 in Oregon and more than $1,500,000 in Washington. As a matter of fact, not a dollar of the reclamation fund has been expended on any irrigation work in Washington, and the only benefit Oregon seems likely to receive for some time Is her share of the $1,000,000 which haa been set aside for Klamath. ONLY HERRICK IS BEATEN. Republicans Carry Most of Ohio Elec tion Legislature Doubtful. Columbus, O., Nov. IS. Today's development have cleared up the post election situation in Ohio considerably.

Democratic candidate for lieu tenant governor, before leaving lor bis home at Mount Vernon tonight, ad' mitted his defeat. Chaiiman Uarber, of the Democratic State committee, was expected to giv) out a statement tonight, but did not. Both parties continue to claim a ma' iority in both branches nf the lexis lattire. The majority in either branch will be small, possibly not more than two or three for the party that controls LET ROOT MANAGE BIG CANAL. Plan to Relieve Taft of Panama Mat- ters Again Discussed. Washington, Nov. 13. An echo of the suggestion that the Isthmian canal should be placed under the State de partment has been heard in a rumor ol the possibility that the Insular bureau which grew up under the direction of Secretary Root when he was at the bead of the War department, may be transferred to the State department, The discussion of the matter has not taken any concrete form, but it is one of the suggestions made to relieve the secretary of war of heavy responsible ties which now rest upon him in ad' miniBtering not only the affairs of the army, hut the t'lnlippines, the rauania canal and other island interests. It would take legislation to bring about the change, as the Insular bureau was legislated into the War depart ment when the Philippine government act was passed. Extra Session In Pennsylvania Harrisburg, Pa., Nov. 13 Governor renuyacker issued a roclamation today calling an extra session ol the legisla ture for January 18 to consider reform legislation.

Except in the kingdom of Poland, where the rapidly growing Nationalist movement and the state of tension among the pro letariat will toon bring about the dr. claration of state of war, Russia teems, for the time being, at least, to be generally tranquil. Telegrams from interior points report the restoration of order in nearly all citiea and towns, bbt in many cities, notably St. Peters burg and Moscow, the better classes of the population are greatly disturbed owing to tbe rumors of approaching at tacks by the "Black Hundred," com posed of tbe most ignorant type of tbe populace which, according to these ru mors, are scheduled to take place in St. Petersburg tonight and in Moscow to morrow. The apprehension in St. Petersburg ba become so great that tbe prefect of police, who succeeded General Trepoff in command of tbe city police, hat in' struct d his subordinates to take the fullest measures to crush any disorder in its incipiency, to aa to disabuse tbe minds of the "loyalist" of the idea that the police would remain inactive, In such an emergency the strong band of General Trepoff ia being missed, even by the (actions which most execrated him. Count Witte s new cabinet may now be regarded aa completed. Count Lamsdorff, minister of foreign affairs, and M. Manukhin, minister of justice, will retain their positions, leaving only the poets of ministers of the interior and education to be filled. Dmitri Shipoff, of Moscow, who was president ol the first Zomstvo congress, has den nitely declined to accept any position in tbe cabinet. MASSACRES IN BESSARABIA.
