LOS ANGELES, Oct. 12—Twenty- eight engineers and assistants of the United States Geological Survey have | been ordered by the Government to as- semble at Needles between October 15 and 20 to begin work toward fulfilling the provisions of the national irrigation act in the thirty-two townships reserved from | settlement along the Colorado River some weeks ago for this purpose. These town- ships lie between Needles and Yuma, on | the California side of the river. The i work will be in charge of E. T. Perkins of the Geological Survey, who has just completed nearly a year's work in the central portion of the State. This work vill be the first experiment made by the | Government under the irrigation act. | The first work will consist of a thor- ough investigation of the prevailing con- | ditions, laying out of a complete system | of theoretical ditch lines: measuring the { fall and flow of water, ascertaining the { amount of land irrigable, etc. A report will then be forwarded to Washington, and if considered favorable the force will probably go right on’ with the work' of actual construction of canals and reser- | voirs.

Sir James is accompanied ! by his wife and daughter and Lieutenant Brooker, R. N. The negotiation of the treaty was re- garded by Great Britain as a stupendous affair, and at one time was deemed an impossibility, but through the diplomacy of.Sir James the feat was accomplished. The treaty goes into effect on January 1, 1%4, and defines under what conditions Great Britain shall do business with China. 4 Sir/James expressed himself as some- what surprised at the statements made by General T. 8. Sharretts, who was com- missioned by President Roosevelt to help effect a new tariff agreement with China and who returned from the Flowery - Kingdom on September 12 last. In a pub- lished interview Sharretts said that be- fore leaving Shanghai he had been as- sured by the Viceroy of Nanking that the British treaty would not be signed until { the United States Government had been foofesiele SINOR G PMIOEE WELCOME Republican ILieader the Favorite in''O.d Tuolumne. i | | PHENARED SN SONORA, Oct. 12.—01d Tuolumne, which has seldom been visited by gubernatorial candidates, was not too far out of the way for Dr. George C. Pardee, and this afternoon the Republican standard-bearer came to Sonora to greet its citizens. After leaving Stockton to-day he was met at the Oakdale depot by, a large num- | ber of Republicans of that town and'a brass band played during the wait of the train. He was kept busy shaking hands until the train moved on again, and cheers were given for-him as it pulled | away from the station. Many persons were at the depot here to welcome him. His reception was ar- ranged by C.. H. Burden, Chairman of the Republican County ‘Committee, Thomas A. Hender, George Richards, Fred Whitten and other Republicans of local note. After dinner a band played in front of the Vie- toria Hétel, where rooms were reserved for him and a large crowd gathered on the street. The reception committee had dec- orated the hotel parlor on his account, supposing that the distinguished nominee would prefer to receive callers there, but Pardee does not care for style, and he went out on the street to get acquainted. As Pardee’s stay here is to be short, he being on the way to Angels Camp, where he is to speak to-morrow night, no meeting here was planned, consequent— 1y the crowd requested a speech to-night. Dr. Pardee excused himself from talking at lerigth by saying that he was not an orator and that it would not do for him to make a political address on Sunday night. He shook hands with everybody, giving each man a pleasant word. If his time hére permits to-morrow the commit- tee will arrange for a meecting and a soeech before he devarts. s consulted in tegard to its provisiogs. THINKS THERE IS MISTAKE. “I think there must be some mistak said Sir James, whose manner is mild- ness fitself. “The treaty had been signed seven days before the date on which Gen- eral Sharretts is said to have made the remarks attributed to him, or, to be more exact, on September 5. In fact, the Vice- roy named was one of those who peti- tioned the throne to sign the treaty. I cannot understand why the general made the remark, unless he was unaware at the time that the treaty had been signed. The information was cabled to this coun- try on September 7. “General Sharretts is quoted as saying that the thirteen other powers had in nearly every iInstance endeavored to frame the new tariff so as to kill off American goods. The meetings of the Tariff Commissioners, over which I pre- cided, were held in my office, and there was at all times the friendliest feelings among all of us. Each Government stood on its own basis, and there was certainly no discrimination ‘against the United States. The revision of the tariff was simply a matter of calculation, and it was done in the friendliest manner pos- sible. “The most important result of our ne- gotiations with China was the abolish- ment of the ‘likin’ tax, which is regarded as an imposition on foreign goods.

CAUSED FREQUENT DELAYS. “The tax was not so much in question as the frequent delays it caused to the | boats carrying merchandise. In some cases the tax amounted to 30 per cent of the value of the goods. “In return for the abolishment of the tax the powers mutually agreed that the Chinese Government be empowered to levy a surtax on the present 41 per cent impost, which would amount to 10% per cent, and also to levy a consumption tax | on goods manufactured in China and con- | sumed there. This will give China some return for the loss of the ‘likin’ tax. The tariff goes into effect on October 31, 1902. ‘‘Another result of our deliberations was the settlement of the tariff for the years 1597, 1898 and 1899, which was fixed &t 5 per cent ad valorem. This will enable China to pay off a large portion of the indemnity claims of the several powers arising out of the Boxer troubles.” This is Sir James’ first visit to San Francisco, and he expresses himself. as highly pleased at what he had already observed during the short time at his disposal. He will leave Tuesday for New York and will there take a steamer for home. el it @ JIAMESE PRINGE DOES THE TOWN Spends Sabbath in See- ing the Sights in ‘Washington. ‘WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—Chowfa Maha Vajiravudh, the Crown Prince of Siam, who arrived in this city yesterday from New York, spent the day in his apart- ments in the Arlington and in driving about the city. No visitors were announc- ed. In the morning, accompanied by his brother, Prince Chakrabongsee, the Siam- ese Minister and ome of his aids, he drove through the Soldiers’ Home grounds and the residence portion of the city. After luncheon the Prince and the members of his party went for another drive to Arlington. The Prince is particu- larly interested in soldier life, himself having a thorough military training. The second in the series of dinners in honor of the royal visitors was given to- night in the banquet hall of the Arlington. The Siamese Minister was the toastmas- ter and covers were laid for twenty-five guests besldes the royal party, including the following: Secretary Hay, Secretary Root, Secretary Wilson, Assistant Secre- tary 'of State Hill, Assistant Secretary Adee, Assistant Secretary Plerce, E.

CHICAGO, Oct. 12.—From reliable au- thority it was learned last evening that arrangements were completed by the Rockefellers and E. H. Harriman in New York yesterday whereby the Chicago Milwaukee and St. Paul practically se- cures an independent outlet to_the Pacific Coast from Omaha via the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads. The arrangement is sald to be in the form of a legal contract, the same as the | Chicago-Northwestern bas with the Union Pacific, and which is stronger and more binding than an ordinary traffic alliance. By it the Milwaukee and St. Paul will be able to run its own trains through to the Pacific Coast and compete on even terms with any of the transcontinental lines. This, of course, will spoil the reported exclusive traffic alliance, er merger, of | Missouri Paciflc system. It is probable, that some sort of traffic ar- rangement may yet be made whereby the | Missouri Pacific will supply the Milwau- kee and St. Paul with an outlet from Kansas City to El Paso and the Southwest and Gulf ports. The réported deal between the Milwau- kee and St. Paul and the Union Pacific indicates that Harriman's influence with ihe Rockefellers was more potent than Gould’s. It has been knowm for some time that the relations between Harriman and Gould were strained, and it was but natural that the former should view with alarm an offensive and defensive traffic alliance of the Gould lines with so im- portant a railroad system as the Milwau- kee and St. Paul, and for this reason, no rot to consummate an exclusive traffic al- liance with Gould. Relations between the Rockefellers and Harriman have always been close. The Rockefellers were leading members of the Union Pacific railroads and they all have large interests in the Union Pacific, while in no way fnterested in the An arrangement of the Milwaukee and St. Paul with the Union Pacific, there- fore, is much more advantageous to the Rockefellers, not only on account of the £nancial interest they have in the Union Pacific, but also because the Union Pa- cific, in connection with the Southern Pa- cific Coast. while the Gould line would have brought it no nearer the Pacific Coast than Salt Lake City, from which point to the coast it would still have to be’ dependent upon the Southern Pacific.

One Hundred and Fifty Thou- sand.Dollars the Fee Received. Vienna’s Famed Orthopedic Surgeon Refrains From Use of the Enife in Correcting the Dislocation. RSP SR Special Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, Oct. 12.—"“It's all over; it's quite finished, and— (with a character- istic shrug of the shoulders) “I think—I know, indeed—that it is entirely success- ful.” In this way Professor Adolf Lorenz of Vienna declared to-day that the operation on little Lolita, daughter of J. Ogden Armour, had been performed and that he was convinced that the little girl would in a few short weeks enjoy the free use of her legs and be as other children are. The operation, to perform which Pro- fessor Lorenz, leading orthopedic surgeon in Europe, journeyed from Vienna to Chi- cago, was carried out at the Armour home this morning at 10 o'clock. Professor Lo- renz was assisted by Dr. Friedrich Muei- ler, who accompanied him from Vienna for the purpose, and there were also pres- ent Dr. Frank Billings, Mr. Armour’s reg- ular family physician; Dr. John E. Ryd- land, Dr. Miller and Dr. Dexter Ashley of New York, the latter a former pupil cf Professor Lorenz. Extraordinary precau- tions were takeén to insure the success of the operation, and, after its performance, which consumed two hours, Professor Lo- renz declared that the little girl's hip, which had been dislocated from birth, would soon grow into a thoroughly nor- .mal condition. DESCRIBES THE OPERATION. “The operation,” he sald to-night in de- scribing the matter, ‘‘consisted simply of drawing the limb down so that the femur, or hip bone, came below the socket of the hip, into which it ought normally to fit. Then it was pressed In until the femur rested against the socket, as it should. Formerly, and, indeed, until quite recent- ly. it was necessary to accompiish this result by incisions into the flesh and by removing enough bome from the socket to insure the femur fitting into it. After more than 200 of such operations which I performed I conceived the plan of ac- complishing the same result without any incision, and of relying on nature to ac- complish results which formerly had been achieved by means of the knife alone. “I now use weights and pressure to force the projecting femur into line with ite own socket. If the socket is not prop- erly shaped to receive the femur I rely on its growing into shape by means of my especlally contrived appliances. ‘“After the little girl had been placed under anesthetics 1 proceeded to draw down the limb until it was in line with the hip socket. Then the femur was pressed until it rested against the socket. “From the hip down to a line just above the kneecap the limb was encased in plas- ter of paris, in order to hold it in place. This cast will remain on for six months. But it is so adjusted that the flesh is not unduly pressed. There are appliances by means of which the skin underneath this cast will be kept as clean as the rest of the body. NATURE DOES THE REST. “Oh, no, the little girl will not have to remain in bed or inactive for these six months. To-morrow I shall allow her to sit up, in a couple of days I shall require her to take exercise, and that exercise, assisted by nature, will bring about the Junction of the bome, so that when the cast is removed the hip will be found to perform its function in a perfect manner.” Dr. Lorenz’s system of bloodless ortho- pedic operations is new to the surgical ‘world, and is being eagerly inquired into by scientists and practitioners on both continents. It is reliably reported that the fee he receives for the operation just completed is 750,000 kroner, which, placing the kromer at its approximate value (20 cents) makes the fee $150,000—a princely sum which is probably without precedent as a payment for a single operation.
