Mr. B allinger yesterday held a prelim inary conftrence with these cfli cials, at which were present the super visin g engineer o f the six divisions into which the entire reclamation field is divided. There is to be apportioned for these projects about $11,000,000, but the demands fo r funds aggregate an amount fu lly double that available. The conference, which was an execu tiv e one, was held in the offices o f the reclamation service in the Beck build ing. There were present all o f the di recting and supervising officials o f the service. In addition to Mr. Ballinger they w ere : F. H. N ew el, d irector; A. P. Davis, ch ief engineer; O. H. Bln- Bign, ch ief electrical engineer; D. C. Henny, consulting engineer, and the follo w in g supervising en gin eers: F. K. Weymouth, Idaho d ivis io n ; I. W. Mc Connell, Central d ivis io n ; H. N . Sav age, Northern d ivision ; C. If. Sw igart, Washington d ivision ; L. C. H ill, Southern division, and E. G. Hopson, Pacific division. " T o d a y ’ s conference was only pre lim inary and there is nothing definite to announce regarding the probable ap portionment o f the reclamation fund, for the reason that final conclusions were not reach ed," said Mr. B allinger last night. “ The various supervising engineers presented their demands for funds with which to carry on the work undertaken by the government, during the ensuing year. These re quests w ill be considered further at an other conference which w ill be held to morrow. I t w ill not be until a fte r to m orrow’ s hearing that I w ill be able even roughly to determine how the funds fo r this work shall be expended. “ From the fa c t that the demands for money fa r exceed the amount o f funds that w ill be available, I find it w ill be a difficult job to decide on any appor tionment that w ill satisfy all. Oregon has not been receivin g its share o f the proceeds from the sale o f public lands within its borders, as contemplated un der the reclamation act. T o see this state next year receive more nearly its share o f this fund ia another prob lem with which I am confronted, espe cially in v iew o f the increased demands coming in from other sections o f the reclamation fie ld ."

Bayonne, France, Aug. 3.— W ith all trades unions in Northern Spain de claring a general strike today, and w ith several communes in Catalonia having proclaimed a republic, condi tions in A lfo n so ’ s kingdom are any thing but satisfactory. W hile the g o v ernment on the one hand sends out re assuring dispatches to the e ffec t that it has the revolt in Barcelona and neighboring districts thoroughly under control, on the other hand it admits that it has seized the telegraph and telephone lines in the Biscayan pro vinces, in an effo rt to keep the revo lutionists and strikers from communi cation with each other. This conflict o f official reports, taken with the fact that the municipality o f Palamos has declared its e lf free and independent, lead unbiased outsiders to b elieve that the re vo lt i b anything but suppressed, and that while revolu tionists may be cowed in Barcelona itself, they are w a itin g in small bandB in the hills for more reassuring times, and w ill then reassert themselves. S u fferin g at Acapulco. M exico C ity, Au g. 3.— A dispatch from Acapulco state that severe shocks continue. A ll the buildings that re main standing are uninhabitable and many are suffering from lack o f shelt er. Tents and temporary shacks in which people are sheltered are inade quate. Ixical authorities have sworn in a number o f citizens as special po licemen, as the force o f gendarmes is insufficient. There has been some loot ing. Feed, clothing and medicine are urgently needed, hut thus fa r no re lie f steps have been taken. Naval T raged y Rum ored.

Spokane, Wash., Aug. 2.— Thirteen |iersons were killed and 88 more or less teriously injured in a head on trolley car collision Saturday afternoon, at Coldwell, on the Spokane and Coeur d ’ Alene branch o f the Spokane & Idaho railw ay, 25 miles east o f Spokane. O ffiia's o f the line have not made a statem ent as to responsibility for the wreck. It is said the eastbound train did not take a sidetrack as it had been ordered. It is incomprehensible why the motormen did not avoid the col lision, as the accident recurred on a straigh t track. The motorman o f the westbound train is among the dead. Both trains were running at a high speed, especially the westbound train, and w ere presumably beyond control. The wrecked cars were ground to geth er in one confused mass. The in juries are o f all kinds. I.egs and armB are broken and heads and bodies are crushed. Bruises and scratches from splintered wood and broken glass are numerous, and internal hurts, which it is feared w ill swell the list o f fatalities, w ere infliected. The first car o f the train, the smok er, was so smashed that nothing but the trucks remained. I t was crowded with men and scarcely one o f them es caped a live and uninjured. This is the first serious wreck in the history o f the road. The track was cleared in about an hour and a half. P E O P L E IN P A N IC . Repeated Shocks in M exico Add to Earthquake Damage.

A ll communication was cut off from Chilpancingo, Acapulco and surround ing towns by the quakes, after it Was restored follo w in g F rid a y’ s shocks, but inform ation o f the serious nature o f the shccks came through before the wires went down. In every instance the frightened operators at the keys in the stricken towns, talkin g to the equally frightened operators in the capital, declared " t h e town is com p letely w recked,” or ^words to that effect. The operator at Chilpancingo, capita) o f the state o f Guerrero, reported that the palace o f Governor Damien Flores, which had been partiallyV recked, com pletely tumbled down, but that the fam ily had le ft its crumbling walls. The shocks here were more severe than the form er ones were, and not an Am erican and but fe w foreigners re mained indoors. The parks and plazas are crowded to overflow in g and many people are in actual want o f food. O S A K A IN R U IN S . Important Japanese City Is S w ept by T errib le Conflagration. Osaka, Japan, A u g. 2.— A t 6 o’ clock yesterday morning the terrible confla gration which has reduced to ashes a large portion o f this c ity was under control. Up to that hour 13,000 build ings had been destroyed. An area four miles square was swept by the flames. A Are which threatened to destroy this c ity started at 4 o ’ clock Saturday morning. A t 9:30 Saturday n igh t the fire had consumed one-fifth o f the town. The firemen who had been fighting all day, were com pletely exhausted and troops were called out to assist in the fire figh tin g and to preserve order in the city. The exa ct amount o f damage done by the flames cannot be estimated at present, but the total w ill be large. A number o f persons have been killed and seriously injured by the fire. Osaka is one o f the "im p e ria l c itie s " o f Japan, and is one o f the most im portant manufacturing and commercial cities o f the empire. I t shelters al most three-quarters o f a m illion peo ple. The largest o f the Buddhist tem ples, fo r which the c ity ia famous among travelers, covers an enormous area. The ch ief public building o f Osaka is the palace, built o f stone in 1583. ____________ E verything to d ay depends upon talking. It la futile to sentimentalize about the vanity of speech or the so lidity of action, like poor Carlyle. There Is no action that we can profit* ibly perform toward a m illionaire, ex cept strangling him. If we cau. at tvery afternoon tea or society dinner, say everything that Is calculated to make the wealthy people preseut feel very uncomfortable, we shall have done all that Is Immediately practic able and shall not have lived In vain, 0. K. Chesterton says In Hampton's Magazine. Thus, If I were an American, I should turn off every conversation un til It came Into collision with the sub ject of the trusts. If a young lady began speaking to me and said: “ Have you seen the Velasquez at Vienna?" I should reply (u n tru th fu lly), “ Oh, yes —magnificent when he worked In oils —which reminds me that this oil trust ----- ’’ and so on. If the hostess salt) with a smile, “ W ill you carve the duck?” I should answer with unscru pulous enthusiasm, "Oh, I am quite at home with the cold steel; In fact, the steel trust, etc.” And If at last peo ple began not to want me at dinner parties, and tim id conversationalists fell back on the weather. I should cry, "H a ve they yet started a sun trust, a wind trust, or a sea trust? That seems to me much healthier than ----- ” But you quite under stand. A fter I had done this for a year or two, even the trusts (though, as their name implies, full of innocent confi dence) might have begun to suspect me. There Is Indeed another reason why we must to a great extent rely (fo r the present) on speech rather than action in our dealings with the mon strosities of modern wealth. Unless our action is mere lynching (and 1 would never deny that there Is some thing to be said for th a t), Instead of what one calls political, it w ill not be action against the very rich, but In their favor. They hold all the han dles of the political machine; and for the purpose o f any prompt action they have only to move the handles. That the poor could conquer the rich at last I believe, because I believe in God— and also In man. But that the rich could conquer the poor by 8:30 to-morrow evening I am quite certain. The whole press would bellow the same tune over a m illion breakfast tables. The servants of the rich would have run a m illion errands, the solicitors and agents of the rich would have struck a m illion bargains, before the ordinary stonebreaker had even found his pickax. The poor are sure— but slow. Add to this that worst and wildest work of modern science (m ore blas phemous than its denial of God) its invention of scientific war. The ser geant would obey the captain, the sol dier would obey the sergeant, and the democracy would lie dead about the streets before soldier, sergeant or cap tain had realized that they were all obeying a swollen and cynical pawn broker.
