The Congressional Conference at =.
LOuiS

ST. Louis, May 13.-The constitutional cob
vention assembled at noon to-day. The mayor
delivered an address of welcome in behalf OF
the Citizens. After bidding the Congressman
present a most cordial and hearty welcome on
behalf OF the whole people OF st. Louis, and
one which he hoped would make the memory of
the visit pleasant, he said: "lt is not purpose
in inviting you here to-day merely to discuss our
local attractions, neither to bring undue infiu-
ences TO bear on you, and thereby endeavor to
secure your committal To legislation calculated
to take advantage Of or injure any portion OF
our common country. We designated this con-
yention as a convention but i'm character. Ii II
more of an informal and friendly conference.
We desire TO present plain, practical exhibit
OF the needs Of the west and south for improved
water lines to the ocean. We do not desire TO
o,.eiso discussion. W vote in
advance on legislative propositions, nor do we
intend 10 embarrass you by strict parliamentary
proceedings" The mayor then referred to the
necessity of improved water routes to the sea-
board, and noted what the government had
done ior the sea coast i'm the way of pro-
tectng LIE and property. He claimed
to illustrate the points of navigation on the
Mississippi river, he says that in one bend i'm
that river, only four miles i'm extent. there lie
the wrecks of thirty-six steamers, damming up
the way, and that it il appropriately called
Graveyard Bend" He saws not only the west
and south are interested in removing obstruc-
tons from and deepening the channels Of the
Mississippi river and its tributaries, but the
whole country, and also foreign nations, for
cheap transit for the products Of the Mississippi
valley has ana must always have great ind uence
on the markets Of the world. He also cites
the fact that I'm consequence OF high
have actually burned their corn because il
could not be marketed without bringing them
in debt. In view Of these and other drawbacks
10 tne trade and business of the West he ap-
peaied TO the congressman to consider the sitna-
ton and accord that aid which will remove the
trouble.
