The fact leaked out tonight from a responsible aource that at a recent cabinet meeting Ethan Allen Hitchcock, secretary of the Interior, expressed a desire to ten der hia resignation July 1 next.

Secretary Hitchcock i now convinced of tbe in terstate character ol the Klamath irri nation project and acknowledge that California I to benefit by tbe work in xintemplation fully aa much a Ore (on, but be i not willing to change bit order charging the entire alluimeiii to .he state of Oiegon. W hen senator rulton again took up he matter of the Umatilla project with the aecretary, be found Hitchcock bold ing the came view be voiced on tbe ccasion of fail previous visits, contend' ing that Oregon a 61 per cent reserve fund has been appropriated and ex plaining thai there are no fund avail- tble for coiistiuction of the Umatilla project. Mr. Fulton maintains that, even if ihe secretary adhere to hia determine ton to charge the entire coat of the Klamath work to Oregon, there is yet unougii money in tbe reclamation fund to the credit of Oregon to build tbe Umatilla project. On June 30 last Oregon' restricted fund was practically 12,600,000. Deducting $2,000,000 al lotted for Klamath, there was yel ,500,000 left, and it ia Mr. Fnlton't contention that aince July 1, 1905, enough money has been received from liBpoeal of public lands in Oregon to make the other $500,000 necessary foi the Umatilla project. Tbe secretary it unable to state how much money Ore gon lias contributed to tbe fund since July, but will advise tbe senator when he ascertain tbe lads. Notwithstanding that he denominates the Malheur project a "steal," and al ludea to the operation of tbe wagon road people aa a "graft," tbe secretary will not formally set aside thia project, though admitting that be will not con struct it. Nor will be permit tbe Mal heur allotment to be used in part foi tbe Umatilla project. He say Oregon haa bad her full share of reclamation money outside of the Malheur project, And l not entitled to the benefit of tbe money which ia now credited to tha project, but which is not being used what ia good for tbe United State U food lot the Philippine. Intense de- lire ia evinced in the Philippine !o. the removal of our dutiea on their pro- lu :ts and, insofar a inch abolitioi would benefit tbem, we ahould gener ously grant them that advantage. In nrging upon congrese tbe repeal ihe shipping act, which will bee emu operative on July 1, 1906, the reaoln- uona declare thai ibe ail will rtau the facilities for commerce between tin United State and the Philippinea am naterially enhance tbe cost of product rom the United Btatea or ol Ameru-ai nanufacturej imported into the Phil Duiuea. The resolutions continue: "There are no American snipe in id rade between tbe Philippine and tbe Vtlantic porta, and there would not be tmough American tonnage to carry 125.000 bales of flour annually import ed at these porta. A great deal of it on!d have to come via tbe racinc jorta and over transcontinental rail roads, and thi unnatural route affords he onlv competition to cbecK tne ex lorbitant rates to Atlautic porta made."

No Action on Senator' Case Likely Before January. Washington, Nov. 24. Senator Reed Smoot, who arrived here tbie evening, tays moet emphatically that there i? ao foundation for tbe etory inai ne in- -.ends to resign from tbe senate, and be is at s loss to understand tbe source of the report. He ia surprised to learn -.hat tbe senate committee win reopen hi case and give lurther bearings, but tie Washington, Nov. 23. Senator Fut on bad a conlerenca with Secretary litebcock today on Oregon irrigation natter. He waa advised, aa previoua y stated in theae dispatches, that tbe ecretary will not tbink ot building the Vlalbeur project nnder existing condi tions, but was surprised to find the sec retary unwilling to make any allotment for the Umatilla project. After some argument, tbe senator, obtained ft con ditional promise from tbe aecretary which, if fulfilled, will mean early adoption and construction of the Uma tilla project. At tbe outset tbe aecretary stated that he bad already allotted $2,000, 000, to tbe Klamath project, which be bad charged np to Oregon. Thi amount ia within $465,000 of Oregon' restricted fund; in other worda, ia within that amount of 61 per cent of Oregon's contribution to the reclama tion fund. The aecretary, nnder tbe law, ia obliged to expend thi 51 per cent in Oregon, but he clearly showed to the senator that be ia unwilling to give Oregon more than its 61 per cent. The aenator told the secretary that tnn Klamath ia not entirely an Oregon pro ject. He pointed out that about bait the land nnder that project lies n Cal ifornia, and further stated that Kla math trade, after the project i built, will go largely to California. He there fore insist that it is unjust to baud the Kalamatb poject entirely with Oregon funds, and demands that the $2,000,000 allotment ahould be divided ind at least half of it charged to Cali fornia. If thia ia done, the secretary will have $1,500,000 for immediate ex- has no objection to that course.

Backed up by these papers, be will reopen tbe case with Mr. Hitchcock, and is hope ful that tbe Umatlila project may then be authorized. No mention waa made today of any engineering or other flaw in the Umatilla project, and it ia as sumed that nothing prevents ita con struction save "lack of funds, tbe original excuse, which has subsequent ly been denied.
