PLEADS FOR NEBRASKA BOYS Oongressman BStark Endeavors to Nave Brothers Placed in Same Company. ONE OF THEM IS SICK AND DISCOURAGED Bays e Mighy as Well Be in Wash- ington as Anywhere Else, as Neo braska Farmers Are Too Busy te Talk Polities. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, July, 28.—(Special Tele- gram.)-—-Repredentative Stark of the Fourth Nebraska district is in Washington today on business conmected with the War department. Judge Stark came to the cap- ital for the purpose of securing thé trans- fer of Robert and Albert Kaempfer of Ris- ing City, Butler county, to the same com- pany in the Sixteenth United States reg- ulars, now on duty in the Philippines, The two young mep are sons of Albert Kaemp- fer, editor of the Rising City Independent. Robert, the elder otthe two boys, ~has been suffering from a very severe attack of camp dlarrhoea mnd has written a num- ber of pathétic istters bome stating hia condition. These letters alarmed the.fam- 1ly and it was determined to seek for his discharge. Better tounsels, however, pre- vailed, Judge Stark advising that an effort be made to bring the two boys together in some ene company and have them asslgned to a regiment along the seacoast, so that Robert might be able to recupérate from his disease. In consequence’ of this sug- gestion Judge Stark cdme on to Washing- ton and tdday presented the reasons why Robert should ' be transferred to hie brother's' company, and ‘that if possible be ment to Aparri, Philippine isiands, where the government maintains an exceptionally fine hospital in conjunction with the best fce plant in the islands. As the matter is a legal one, the judge advocate general has taken it ander cohsideration, and after ascertatning. the etatus of Kaempfer it s believed will effect the transfer desired and order their transfer to the seacoast, where the younger may look after his elder brother. Judge Stark expects to receive favorable mction on his request before his return to Nebraska. Incidental to an explanation as to what brought him to Washington at this time, ho stated that there was little or no poli tics being discussed in Nebraska at pri ent. That the only thing farmers wanted to do at this time was to harvest their wheat and save as much of their oats, which are greatly lodged, as possible. He #ald that the promise of a fine corn crop was most encouraging, that Nebraska never presented in 1its history so beautitul a plcture as now. The judge retused to dls- cuss his chances for re-election, except to say, that he thought condition were good. He will leave for Nebraska Wednesday. Roberts Going Went. Director of the Mint George E. Roberts has gone to Towa, incidentally to look over his newspaper property, the Register and Leader, but before returning to his desk he will: make a trip to San Francisco on business connected with th‘ mint of that eity. The publication to the effect that the Agricultural and Isterior. departments and geological survey were at any time at lasue over detalls of enforcing the irrigation law bhas caused a denlal to come from these departments. The story of the differenc seems. to have arisen in a measure from excerpts taken from l’f Agricultural Q.- partment year book, wheréin Prof. ‘wood Mead expounds certain prlnnlpl- ‘Wwhich do not receive the support of the ge- ®logical survey, and Prof. Mead was quoted #s reflecting grave discredit on the work of the Interior department: In answer to these alleggtions it was sald today at the geological surve: Agricultural and In- terior departments that both departments are at work to further to the extent of their abllity the succeasful enforcement of the irrigation acts, that there is-no con- troveray and that work is proceeding sat- isfactorily. It is explained- that different views prevall as to the best method of ir rigating different solls, and that these views have been set forth 4n. government publications. But everyone concerned has buried his own plans and methods in pl adopted by the Imterior department and is contributing all he ean to make the In- terior department operations an unqualified success. In further denial of the report Prof. Mead has written the geological survey that both his report and his interview have been dis- torted and that he is not responsible for the attitude in which he has been placed.

CONDITION OF THE MISSISSIPPI Commission Ha n rae the nt Makés Its WASHINGTON, July 28.—The Missiasippt River commission, Baving in charge the work of improvement of the river from the mouth of the Ohlo to the head. of the passes, has submitted its annual report to the chief of engineers. - The estimates for the fiscal year, 1904, are: Continuing work under the commission, $2,000,000; protection of banks at Ceruthers- ville, $30,000; harbor at Memphis, Tenn. $50,000; harbor at Greenville, Miss., $26,000; preservation 6f works at Delta Point, La., $25,000; hmrbor at Natches, Miss, and Vi- dalla, Las, $100,000; rectification of Red and Atchafalaye rivers, Loulstana, $30,000; har- bor at New.Orleans, La., $300, On the first of the present fiscal year a balance of §2,630,264 was avaflable for im- provemént of the Tiver. A statement Is made showing that since the organization of the commission, In 1879, until the pres- ent time, the ‘total amount appropriated for that,portion of the Mississipp! river under the commission has been $43,672,603. The report speaks of the stocess of the dredging fleet and recommends an Increase in the number and capacity, by which the present standard depth, nine feet, and 260 feot wide at low wator, can be increased to advantage. -The report further states that, owing to the fallure of any appropriations since 1900, work has been restricted to such repairs of existing work as were possible with the balances on hand. " The report shows that the fmprovements heretofore made are generally in a good condition, but in places. damage has oc- curred by reason of lack of funds to carry out existing projects. Speaking particu- larly of the leves the report says: “The cuble yardage of the lev ost by caving during the last year has been about three-quarters of 1 per cent of the amount already in place. The average amount an- nually lost for the last six years, during which time records have been kept, is mot in excess of two-thirds of 1 per cent. It is probable that in the mear future this rate of loss will be temporarily increased, owing to the proximity of caving banks in many localities. In several cases the question of a new location is complicated by the ex- istence of old rivers, lakes or other ob- structions in the immediate rear’ of. the levee lin It is shown that in the comstruction of levees along the Mississippi river during the last year the Unitéd States has built 881,679 cublc yards and the states by which the river flows 1,478,882 cuble yards. In conmection with - the surveys of the river the report says: jeveling parts of the line along the lower river has shown discrepancies which indicate a geological disturbance along the shore of the Gulf.of Mexico. The interes: ing queption thus ralsed makes it high'y important that the line below the oid formations on the river bank, which give relative assurance of the stabllity of the urface, should be rerun at proper ZANZIBAR DUTY Rate to Be Inerea on Articles from United State: ‘WASHINGTON, Btates government has assented to an in- crease of the duties which may be col- contemplated reduction of INCREASED to Ten Per Cent July 28.—The United T0 CONNECT HEIISPHERESE.‘:: of the presitent ant 1 saled for that Rodgers had been crulsing in Chinese waters for Harry Do Windt lcy- Gigantio Railwa; Project is Feasible. TRAVELER TELLS OF MANY HA‘IDSHIPS Numerous Prosperous Citles Which Appear on the Map Now Come Ll but a Few Seat- tered Hu SEATTLE, July 28.—After traveling for six monthe across the bleak steppes and frozen mountains of Siberia, Harry De Windt of the London Daily Express s ready to report that a rallway practically connect- ing the eastern and western hemispheres 18 a feasible project. Mr. De Windt left Paris December 16 last and arrived in Seattle by way of Bering strait, the Yukon, Dawson and Skagway this afternoon on the steamer City of Topeka. His party emcountered great perils from hunger and cold and attribute to the pres- ence of Amrericans in northern waters the fact that they are again safe in a civilized country. The party consists of Mr. Windt, Viscount De Clinchamp Bellegrade, George Harding, who has been with the leader of the expedition on mahy journeys in the last sixteen years, and Stephan Ras- torigyeff, a Cossack. The Cossack salls at daybreak tomorrow for his native land. The expedition, from which the party is returning, was undertaken at the {nstance of Alfred J. Pearson, owner of the London Express, Pearson’s Magazine and other pub- lications, who wished to have a representa- tive take a trip by land from Paris to New York, a feat which had not before been Accomplished. Mr. De Windt asserts that the overland journey was much more haz- ardous and difficult than he expected and that he would decline the trip again. De Windt left the Transsiberian railway at Irkutsk. From there a course almost di- rectly north was followed to the borders of the Arctic ocean. The trall was along the Lena river, which fs one of the great rivers of the continent of Asia. On the Lena a great find of gold has been made, but none but Russlans are permitted to mine 1t. Much of. this part of, the trip was made behind reindeer. Near the mouth of the river dogs were procured and they hauled the four men the remainder of the way to Cave Rast. Prosperous Cities Extinet. The route traversed was covered to a depth of several feet with snow, the road was untraveled and rough, dangers lurked at almost every turn. The members of the expedition were treated with kindness, Ybut in many places the natives were suf- fering from famine and disease and could do little if dnything for their visitors. Many prosperous citles exist on the map along the route which the leader of the party had selected. When these points were reached nothing but & few scattered hut and half a dozen wretched natives were all that remained of thelr greatness. The people of all of the northern part of the continent have been attracted to the coast nearest America, as there they can trade with the American whalers and subsist more easily than In their inland towns and village: For several hungred miles directly east of Bering straits Mr. De Windt found many settlements of the natives and here he found food and a tance. Had he not met the Siberlans here he belleves he could never have reached Bering strait and s0 his rescue is due to American traders. Discussing the. rallroad project this evening, he sald: T should say that the rallwa: r feasible, though 1o ratlway wil rfoute we took. It would ral dred miles to the south an !hl‘oulh a rich mineral country. Privately I received the information that the Russlans are survey- ing such a lne, but I am not at liberty to oy exactly what cpurse it will take. The only difficulty which is in the way Is in transferring at Bering straits. The great distance makes a tunnel impracticable and the miles of ice floe constantly moving render navigation almost impossible. How- ever, this problem may be solved and thén the project will be assallable and undoubt- edly such & road will be bullt.
