Increased interest was manifest yesterday in
the exercises of the week of prayer observed at
DR.. Rogers church. The Rev. DR.. Ganse presided,
and az his right hand sat DR.. Rogers leading the
songs OF praise. The objects or prayer yesterday
need 1t as much as any objects can In a Christian

lie opinion and the spread OF free institutions
throughout the world. The exercises OF prayer
and exnortation Yesterday were confined wholly
to ministers, and the chairman called upon breth.
rem to speak or pray and thereby assured the
audience that they should not be troubled with
anecdotes about canal boats, boys eating their
meals and saying they were good, as the
congregation OF Monday were. Such men
as Drs. Hutton, John Hall, I. d. Anderson.
Tyng spoke and prayed yesterday. Dr. Adams re.

THE KILL Won KULL RIVER.

OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED DYKES IN
NEWARK BAY.
The people OF Northwest Staten Island continue
to manifest the most determined opposition to the
construction OF the proposed dykes In Newark
Bay, believing that the work will result ia
closing the channel OF the Kill Won Kun RIVER.
Tne petitions to Congress and the state Legisa.
lature In opposition are being very numer.
ously signed. The principal points alleged
are as follows THAT the XIII Ven Kun Is
In part the boundary line between the
States OF New York and New Jersey, and
the proposed dyking viii place the channel en-
tirely within the jurisdiction OF New Jersey
thereby depriving New York OF q channel and
part Of q navlgable river at present within It's
jurisdiction. That the water privileges and other
advantages now enjoyed by the residents Of
Northwest Staten Island (who are extensively en-
gagged in and wholly dependent upon the oyster
business Will be seriously Affected II not en-
tireiy ruined THIS Will depreciate tne value
and prosperity OF tins section OF the island.
That navigation would be facilitated and commerce
benefited more e1ectuay by the Improvement OF
the present channel, which has, from natural
causes gained two feet IN depth within fifteen
years, and 1t also has the advantage OF being
shorter and more direct route than the dyked ca
nal; that the cost OF the proposed plan OF dyking
would be t443, 30, while the natural channel could
be improved so to meet all the requirements OF
The petitions urging these points OF objection to
the work will probably be forwarded to both Con-
gress and the Legislature some time during the
present week.
