So it would seem as ‘though-the ‘matter fe sub- stantially settled. The plan will be to amend the ‘appropridtion bill o as to in- elude. this item. Speaking of the matter, Governor Mickey said: “Nebraska can well afford to do this.

Mickey on State Ins ce. Governor Mickey today sent to the house and senate a communication calling atten- tion to the law empowering the governor to insure the state bulldings. The gov- ernor sald to a correspondent for The Beo that his purpose in doing this was not. to dictate or even suggest what course should be pursued by the legislature, but simply to call attention to the law. empowc.ing property. so that if there action in this direction it might be brought to the attention of the lawmakers before they adjourned. “I don't care to Influence legislation one way or the other,” sald the governor. || “Méerely as a buxiness man I deemed it Bone Palhs, Itching.

Davis of the house committee on finance, ways and, means, today, in-speaking ofthe appropriation made for the Hastings asy- lum, which is 40 per cent higher than two | years ago, said the committee found that the demands of the institution made the ecnlarged appropriation pecessary. He pointed out that the appropriation bad been made ou the basis of 1,060 inmates at the. asylum, and that this would give 45% ceits per capita for the maintepance of these inmates. This includes expense for fuel, food, clothing, bedding and medical care, and, 1n the judguient of Mr. Davis, is as low us circumstances will warrant. Secretary Marsh Explains. As a result of the report of the senate committee on accounts and expenditures a motion by Harrison of Hall was adopted to have the senate committee confer with the house committée in regard to having the custodian of the supplies of the legls- | latire a creature of the leglslature. Mr. Harrison stated that it was the undere standing of .the committee that W. H. Clark, the present store keeper, bad been appointed. by Becretary of State Marsh, when the store keeper should have been appointed by the leyislature. In ‘discussing the items in the expense Bccount, upon which the committee made its report, Seqretary Marsh said the $150 worth of tollet paper mentioned in the re- 25.00, | the chief executive to Insure the state's! demand for | 4 The legislature at that time refused | s vay the entire Bl and the merchant uld ot accept a part mu was again placed before the legislature this year.

The censtitution provides that no state officer excejt the state treas- urer shall receive fees for any purpose. ‘As this DIl provides for fees to be pald into the office of the land commissioner for filing certaln papers, it is contrary to the provisions of the constitution. Governor Mickey will not say whether he will sign the ‘DAL, but jt.is kuown- that ‘he is very much in favor of a bill of this character.

JONES SHUTS OUT A CRITIC A. B. Walkley of Times Not Allowed to See Produetion of New Play. (Copyright, 193, by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, March 7.—(New York World Cablegram — Spedjal _Telegram.) — Henry | Arthur Jones' refusal to allow A. B. Walkiey, the London Times dramatic critic, to see the first performance of “The White Washing of Julla because of the latter alleged prejudice against Jones “and his work 18 generally considered unjustifisble and foolish. Mr. Jones complains that Mr. Walkley, in noticing bis reeent play, -satd that while theré was no objection to Jomes spending his money at Monte Carlo, he should not attempt to get material for piays there, as It is outside Bis line, Mr. Walkley may be cynical, perbaps un- sympathetie, én his critical work, yet he fs regarded as remarkably acute and.having an unerring eye for blémishes. The Times has not. referred to the matter beyond an- nouncing that its critic was denied admis- slon to the Garrick theater, but a contro- versy is raging o the dramatic press. Mr. Walkley says: “‘My criticisms of his plays have been . perfectly bonest and I have treated his work, when I believed it deserved it, in a bantering way.” Mr. Walkley ogcupies a responsible posi- | tion, with a salary of $4,500, in the corps of secretaries of the postmaster general. He was appointed the British delegate to the international postal congress this year in London. WAR CLOUDS ARE PLENTIFUL Kurope Sees Them in All Directions (Copyright, 1%3, by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, March 7.—(New York World Cablegram — Special Telegram,) — Seldom has the world's peace been threatened from #p many quarters as it i& now, yet, owing to the conviction in the public mind that none of the great powers wants war, these dangers excite little real apprehension. The best informed in London concur in the opin- ifon that the Macedonian outbreak will end in April, when the mountain passes become practicable. In Morocco the rivalries of Zngland, France, Germany and Spain are being brought to an acute stage by the instabil- ity of the sultan's government. In China another and. still more ter- rible Boxer rising is predicted. Rul is suspected of trying to force a quarrel on Swoden by demanding extrava- gant reparation for the trifiing offense of Lache, a Swedish magistrate. In every one of these questions Russia is concerned and it is in its power to make them dangerous or the reverse.

Decision of Becretary Hitohosck on the Provisions of the Aot | OPPOSES PLAN OF ARTESIAN WELLS | d No Seheme Started Does Not Appear (From a Staff Corre: WASHINGTON, March gram.)—In view of the action of the Soutl Dakota delegation and the efforts made by Senator Dietrich and Representative Norris looking to the sinking of artesian wells, the following extract from a recent declsion of the secretary of the finterior on the subject of drilling artesian wells under the provisions of the reclamation act of June 17, 1902, is of timely interest “The act in question provides that all moneys received from the sale and dis- posal of public lands in certaln states and territories shall be reserved, set aside and appropriate ae a special fiund in the treas- ury, to be known as the ‘reclamation fund,’ and used in the examination and survey tor and construction ef Irrigating works for the storage, dive-sion and.development of waters in reclamation of arid and semi- arld lands in seid states and territories. Preliminary examinations and surveys will probably be necessary to the sinking of any artesian well, but no reasonable comstruc- tion of the language used will sustain the conclusion that said act contemplates the sinking of such wells as!part of the pre- liminary examination authorlzed. The fund created thereby is to be used to de velop dnd conserve the water supply for irrigation purposes. Chimerical proposi- tions are not to be exploited. In prosecu~ tion of this work no project, whether It involves a scheme of artesian wells, con- struction of réservoirs or of any other irri- gatlon works, should be entered upon that doos not appear to be feasible and that does not present a probability that, it will tend fo the attainment of the objgct pro- posed. It {8 not permissible to sink an artesian well or to construct any works for conserving water when there are no reasons for supposing that water can probably be had, or, if had, it will not be suitable for irrigation purposes. Neither Is It per- missible to sink an artesian well or to un~ dertake any other work teading to de- velop or conserve the water supply where it is not probable that the water wil' ‘be needed or used for irrigation.” Congress: Leaves for Home.
