lutions terminating with ! requirement
that An appropriation of ten millions be

Improvement Of the Ohio, and that the
resolutions, plans or memorials adopted
BY the convention be sent to the various
Boards of Trade, Chambers of Commerce
and the municipal representatives of the
various cities and towns on it, borders for
their action and approval. The resolu-
lions set forth the necessity Of the i'm
provement asked for and contrast the
large sums expended for harbor improve
ments and the facilities to ocean COM
merce on the Atlantic with the small out
lay by Government for the same benefit
of the interior commerce.
The final resolution adopted. which was
offered Is . substitute for that which re-
quired plans, DO, to be sent to Boards
of Trade and Chambers of Commerce,
provides that Z committee of FIVE be se-
lected from the towns on the Ohio and

understood kilograms have gone from
this city stating that the Secretary of the
Treasury proposes to make 80 additional
issue of $40 bonds, but there is authority
for saying that no such intention has been
or is entertained.
The bill reported from the Committee
of Ways and Means to-day is intended to
authorize the issue Of bonds redeemable
after Eve years and payable within forty
years, under which authority the Secreta-
~ will probably offer an issue of FIVE per
cent. bonds redeemable after ten and pay
able in forty yeara from date. The bill il
also intended to authorize the issue Of
bonds for the excess of subscription to the
$40 loan. This excess is between ten
and eleven millions of dollars.
| The Senate to-day confirmed the nomi-
nation of Geo. Ulrich, of Indiana, to be
