Cheap transportation Convention.

RICHMOND, December 2.-The Cheap
Transportation Convention met this
morning. Colonel B. w. Frobel, OF

on Artificial Water Routes. The report
states the fact that the United States

recommended the four water routes en-
dorsed by this convention last year, and

roads will answer for heavy transportation
insisted on the necessity of four great
water routes, viz: The connecting of
the Mississippi with the great Lakes; a
central route between the Ohio river and
Chesapeake Bay, ria the james River and
Kanawha Canal; the great Tennessee
and Georgia canal; and the improve
ment of the Mississippi river.
Resolutions were introduced to recon-
mend Congress to extent such reasonable
aid to the Texas Pacific Railroad,
completion; to memorable Congress to
prohibit under heavy penalties all com.
binations between competitive lines OF
transportation whether by land or water /;
from watering their stock, and also to
establish court OF commercial justice,
whose decisions shall be subject to re-
view BY the Supreme Court afthc United
States; that Congress should fix by law
the maximum rates for all railroad traffic
crossing state lines; that the sentiments
of this convention is adverse TO an in
crease of taxation upon the people
in the shape Of interest created By the
increased bonded debt, and that Con
gress be recommended to adopt Il nation
al guage of four feet eight inches and
Il half, and that it offer sufficient induce
ments for all trunk lines of 1000 miles
and over to adopt this railroad guage.
All of which were referred to the COM
mittee on Resolutions.
The Committee on Natural Water
Routes not being prepared to report, +.
q. Conant OF st Louis, submitted resC-
luton declaring that Congress be held to
Il strict account for the failure TO
make ample appropriation for the I'M
provemcnt of the mouth of the Missis-
Sippi river, and that this subject cannot
be too impressinglv urged upon that
body; which was also referred to the
Committee on Resolutions.
A committee was appointed TO wait on
