This was really the first warm day of the season and it bad its effect on the members of congress. In the house there was barely a quorum and business dragged along in monotonous sort of way. Warm weather is a thing which tells very quickly on congress- men, Already, though we have only had a taste of heat, they have commenced to talk in carnest about an carly adjournment. A day or two ago t were all sorts of rumors about congress being compelled to sit untl September or Octo- ber. Today senators as well as representatives talked about their ability to uss o tariff bill carly next month and ad- journ before August at any rate. The caucus tonight showed the effect of the warm weather. There was an evident desire to shupe matters for legisiation, so that very little will bo done except on bills of great im- portance.

The act of October 2, 1888, making appro- riations for the irvigation Survey required ites for rescrvoirs, canals and othe irvigating works and the lands made suscept ble of irvigation b uch works should be re- rved from the time of the passage of the Che irs able e ved from operations of the desert land act, the tim- nd the pre-emption’ act, but tas homesteads by aétual T'he rescrvoirand canal sites so that they could 1ot be monopolized, but so' that _they could be held as the property of the gov- ernment to be uscd by - the s them- dves.

This mplaint among the farmn- rates charged by corbitant, but they had the power to compel payment because they owned the water rights It is thus that two parties are marshaled one in the interest of the farmers and the other in <the interest of the water companies—and with the specula- tors in the lands who have acquired titles to lavge tracts under the provisions of the desert lund and other laws which are now repealed, the indications are that _there will be'a bitter contest in this matter before this congress adjourns. An attempt will be made to repeal the act of 1888 by which the lands were reserved to lmm(‘w(wh{ settlers, A bill has been introduced for this purpose and reported to the senate by Senator Plumb of Kansas. Senator Stey s also a strong ad- vocate of its repeal. But the indications are cannot succced, There seems to be o strong sentiment in congress in favor of the act of 1888, ‘Tho advocates of the repeal allege that it is hindering the scttle- ment of the country and that the opera- tions of the irrigation’survey are so slow that the process of agricultural development in 1ha west will b greatly rotardeds Busit p- pears from a report made by Major Powell that Lie has already selected moré than 80, 000,000 acres of these irrigable lands on which homestead settlement can be made, and that he has also seleeted several hundred reser- voir sites and many hundred canal sites. more than enough to irrigate the 30,000,000 f land.

BECAME A NUISANCE, It has been the custom of the state depart- ment for several rs to give travelers from the Unl States letters of introduction and commendation to American ministers and consuls abroad, but the sderetary has been compelied to discontinue this for several reasons.

A scene probably never paralleled is re- ported to have occurred at the navy depart- ment this morning.

The officer is married and has at present only one child, a little girl of threo years. His friend is unmarried. ®he story can there- fore be guessed. With tears in’his cyes the unhappy husband told of his disgrace, never suspected until yesterday, Tho erring wifo made a voluntary econfession, For tho sake of his little girl, he explained, he desired to avoid all_publicity, add therefore he only asked that the betrayer af his wife should bo removed from Washington. When a divorce of the faithless woman was suggested, he replied again that for the child’s sake ho would not enter the courts. For the same reason he sought no personal satisfaction. His request for the transfer will, undor tho circumstances, be granted, it is stated, ONE OFFICE AT A TIMBE, Senator Paddock, upo request, has been investigating whether members of the last legislature could hold federal offices before their terms of state servico expired.
