old posithm. The vlaltor is no longer
coulrontcd with t lie row of candy stands
and lunch counter! of all sisea, egre

The only remaining rello of the old

Sacramento, Csl., Sept. 7. After
four days of addresses snd discussions,
the Fifteenth National Irrigation con
gress yesterday took np the big work of
tbe gathering, wben tne report oi ine
committee on resolutions wa submit
ted by its chairman, ax-Governor
George C. Pardee.
There is an indorsement of the policy
of President Kootevelt and bis adminis
tration in connection with tbe policy
of reclamation, irrigation, forest pres
ervation and conservation ot resources
Tbe departments that hsve tbe big
work in hsnd ara indorred. There
a recommendation that the government
only charge enough for timber cut from
forest reserve to pay for maintenance
ot the forest service. Congress Is asked
to pssa a law providing for the preserv
ation of th Gala vers big tree by tbe
exchange of other timber land for
thero.z
Tbe irrgatlon congress is asked to
make every effort to have tbe seven
teenth session of Uie congress held in
Washington at tbe tame time tbe xa
Uonal congress is in session, and pro
vide for a committee of five to promote
the matter. Protection is also asked
for tbe beet sngsr industry and aid for
the work of irrigation, reclamation
nreaervaUon and conservation.
Tbe only resolution objecting to ad
ministration idea is one protesting
again t further enactment of legislation
favoring Philippine sugar to tbe injury
of Uie beet sugsr industry of in Amer
ica. Not an objection was made aa tbe
resolutions were read snd hearty ap
plause followed.
There was a spirited discussion on
an amendment which Judge Raker, of
Modoc county, California, sought to
have added. This was made a special
order for today,
ment asked for the removal oi tne amy

JAPANESE SEIZE ISLAND,
May Establish Naval Base at Gat of
Philippines.
Washington, Sept. 4. News from
Yokoliama that Japanese "explorers"
had occupied and hoisted tbe national
flag over tbe island of r ratal, near in
Philippine, attracted much attention
here because by this set has been added
to Japanese territtory an Island within
120 mile of tbe fbiiippmet, wnicn
would tarnish n admirable naval baas,
Japanese possessions are brought al
most within tha archipelago, because
Pratas island ia less than 60 miles
north of the twentieth parallel, which
waa the international boundary oi to
former Spanish dominion as defined in
Uie treaty of Paris.
Prata island, in connection wun ana
excellent anchorage afforded by Prata
reef, wonld be very serviceable to tba
Japanese, should tbelr navy operate in
the waters adjacent to the Philippines.
Tbe reef, tbe northeast point of which
is about eleven miles from tne island,
ia a wind barrier oi circular form, in
closing a lagoon with water of from five
to ten fathom. The reef it about so
mile in circumference and between on
and two miles in breadth. Thar are
two channels leading into the lagoon,
one on either side of Pratas island.
There are several ' good anchorages la
from ten to twenty fathom of water,
Uie position abreast of Uie sooth chan
nel being well adapted for naval pur
pose. -
The War and Navy department offi
cial say they have no official informa
tion about this nsw acquisition of tba
Japanese nation. ,
POSTPONES ALTON INQUIRY.
Judge Land! Adjourn Grand Jury
Till Immunity Claim la Settled.
Chicago, Sept. 4. Judge Laud is, in
the United States District court today,
ordered a postponement of Uie grand
jury inveetigaUon ot tht rebating charg
es against tbe Chicago A Alton road,
growing out of tht recent trial snd con
viction of the Standard Oil company
until September 24. It waa generally '
believed that when court opened today
a letter would be presented from Attor
ney General .Bonaparte, aettling th
question of whether the department of -justice
intended to prosecute an acUon
against the Chicago A Alton. Tbe com
pany ha claimed immunity, asserting
that it was promised by former District
Attorney Morrison, that if it aided tba
government in good faith in tha prose-
Judge Raker's amenckTcutino of the Standard Oil' company it
would be exempt, o suctt letter waa,
however, presented in court, either by
Judge Land is or by District Attorney
8ima, tba successor of District Attorney
Morrison.
District Attorney Sims said th fact
had been submitted to the department
ot justice and a titutaion had recently
arisen which made it mcessary that ha
have time to submit certain additional
I tcta and eircumtaancea to Uie depart
ment. Judge Landia then granted th
adjournment.
