BULLETIN ON IRRIGATION.
Government Issues a Publication fo.Qen.
eral Distribution. -."
Washington, Sept. 4. The depart
ment of agriculture has just issued a
farmers' bulletin, entitled "How to
Build Small Irrigation Ditches," by
C. T. Johnston and J. D. Stannard, of
the irrigation investigation division.
There is expected to be a heavy demand
for this publication, as it contains
much information and advice that will
prove of great value to farmers who
contemplate irrigating their fields on a
snull scale, or by way of experiment.
As shown in the report, many of the
failures of the past have been due to
a misunderstanding ol the application
of water to crops. The proper way to
build ditches, to distribute the water,
and to control the How are all pointed
out explicitly, and a general idea is
given as to the amount of water jieeded
by different crops. This bulletin can
be obtained by application to the de
partment direct, or through a senator
or representative, as the edition is
large.
BANDITS FRIGHTENED OFF.
Armed Passengers Prevent Daring Train
Hold-Up In Mexico.
Tucson, Ariz., -Sept. 4. Reports
have reached here of a daring attempt
by three American bandits to hold up
the International express on the Sonora
railroad, thiee miles from Hermo
si Ho. The train was running through
the orange belt, just below Ilermosillo,
being due there at 10 o'clock, when the
explosion of a torpedo on the track
caused the engineer to stop. When the
engine and cars had been brought to a
standstill, three Americans stepped out
of the shelter of a grove of trees and
covered the engine crew. Two of the
robbers then went to the express car
and demanded admittance.' The mes
senger replied with a volley of shots
through the door, the bandits returning
the fire. Several of the passengers,
learning the cause of the stop, armed
themselves and were going to the aid
of the plucky meesenger,when the high
waymen became frightened and gave up
their attempt, disappearing into the
orange groves, where it was supposed
they had horses in waiting. As soon
as the train reached Hermosillo, the
alarm was given and a troop of rurales
and a posse started in pursuit of the
bandits.

ing crowd of citizens.

CHINESE IN PHILIPPINES.
sCd
Gover Taft Proposes Vfidment to the
Exclusion La
Washington, Sep. 3. It is the opin
ion at the war department that Gover
nor T rift's remarks at the board of trade
banquet in Manila respecting the em
ployment of labor on plantations will
form the basis of a suggestion to con
gress at the next session that the act
extending the Chinese exclusion laws
to the Philippines be '. amended. It is
contemplated to remove the ironclad
restriction which now exists and to
clothe the Philippine commission with
power to regulate the entrance of Chi
nese labor. The commission itself has
already given some attention to the
subject, and it is believed that Pro
fessor .Tenks investigations into the
lalwr problem in the Straits Settle
ments and elsewhere in the Orient
meet with approval. The proposed
regulations, it is said, will look to a
widely regulated system of admission
of Chinese as plantation laborers
under sufficient bonds in each case,
under proper systems of identifications
and on condition that they shall leave
the Philippines after certain period
of time. Such regulations as exist in
Hawaii for the proper care of the
coolies would be incorporated. Gover
nor Taft's representations on this sub
ject were in answer to pressing demands
from the American chamber of com
merce and employers of labor in the
Philippines for relief from the present
conditions, which, it ia alleged, pre
vent the development of the country.
High Tax on Natives.
London, Sept. b. Lord Mimer, Brit

nance, in regard teethe taxation of na
tives, nhdur which pvery male adult

capita tax of $10. This, loughly
speaking, doubles the amount of tax
collected under Jhe Boer regime, and
ii will doutless lead to'much murmur
ing. Gifts to Chicago University.
Chicago, Sept. 2. Nearly $500,000
in new gifts to the University of Chita

SET FIRE TO MINE.
Situation In West Virginia Coal Fields Is
Becoming Critical.
Bramwell, W. Va., Sept. 4. The
situation in the Flat Top coal fields is
extremely critical. The skirmish this
morning between the guards and
strikers at the Pocahontas Coal Com
pany, after the firing of the mine by
the strikers, has greatly enraged the
miners', from the fact that a number on
their side were injured. It is thought
here that before tomorrow night troops
will either be in the Flat Top region
or en route. Tonight the Pocahontas
Collieries Company has the fire in its
mine practically extinguished, but
that company has doubled its force of
guards, as another attack at any hour
is feared. Many shots have been fired

ernor White today received a set of res
olutions reading:
"At a meeting of local union No.sJ42,
United Mineworkers of America, 300
members petition you to send troops to
Winona, on Keene's creek, to preserve
order until the strike is settled. The
troops are now located at Thurmond to
preserve order. They were sent there
at the instance of our sheriff, and while
upon investigation it appears that the
call for troops was unnecessary and
utter folly, yet we, aa mineis, are glad
to hnve them. They are principally
union men woiking with our cause, and
look upon men working with the same
contempt as we do."

sections of the coal regions are compar

unchanged. Some coal is being shipped,
but the quantity is so small, compared
with the normal shipment, that it has
