MISSISSIPPI RIVER IMPROVE.
MENT CONVENTION.
The Majority and Minority Reports.

QUINCY, ILL, Oct. 1I.-In the Mississippi
River improvement Convention yesterday ar
teTnoon the majority report was discussed
These resolutions set forth that the improve
ment OF the Mississippi and its navigable tribu-
taries is or paramount importance because the
great bulk OF commerce and wealth is centered
there; that while since the foundation of the
country one hundred millions have been ex-
pended ON rivers and harbors, not one tenth of
that sum has been spent In the Mississippi val
ley They favor reservoir system on the
waters OF the upper Mississippi whereby a
surplus OF water may be stored until low water
and then be utilized. Congress should prohibit
the construction Of private wharves and throw
ing Of debris, cinders. etc., which may form
sand bars into the Mississippi or its tributa-
lies. Private sIecUlators should not be allowed
to profit by the improvements made by the
government to the detriment of the public, and
tie city should not be allowed to use the water
power created by the improvement of the rivers
TOR local manufacturing and mechanical pur-
poses. permanent commission of three rep
Iesentatives from each state bordering on the
MISSISSIPPI river and its navigable tributaries
should be appointed by their governor to pro-
mote the improvement of said rivers for COM
merce, so as to best benefit the whole country.
The president of the convention should select
an executive committee of nine to prepare a
memorial to Congress setting forth the Views Of
the convention to call future conventions, pub
!ish statistics and procure favorable action by
Congress.
The minority report reads: "The object and
purpose Of this convention being to urge upon
Congress the commercial necessity of i'm
proving the Mississippi Missouri and Ohio
rivers so that they be navigable at a low stage
OF water, and that while this convention
recognizes the paramount Importance of the
speedy ard adequate improvement of the main
channel OF these rivers, we are Of the opinion
that such result should be accomplished on its
merits, which are amply sufficient to commend
1t to the favorable consideration Of all reason
aOle men, ard this convention is opposed TO
unnecessary expenditure Of large sums In the
improvement OF unimporUant tributaries to
secure an influence for fhe i'm mprOyemant of the
three main rivers. Great as may be the neces-
sity for the Improvement of the main channels
OF the three rivers named, that necessity should
Eot be met by the squanderfng of millions OF
dollars on minor and unimportant streams:
1heret6re be it resoIred, That we, the representa-
tiyeS Of thirteen states, in convention assem-
bled, do hereby urge upon Congress the i'm
portance of making liberal appropriations for
me improvement OF the main channels OF the
three named rivers. (Signed) Frank Hatton,
j. II. Murphy. After prOtracted debate the
minority report was rejected, and that reported
by the majority adopted, and the convention
adjourned side die.

Death Of Bi.hop vyhittinghan

The telegraph this morning brings the news
Of the death Of Right Reverend William
Robinson Whittingham D.. D., Episcopal bishop
Of the diocese Of Maryland. For several years
past his health has been so feeble that he was
unable to attend to his Episcopal duties, and at
his request Rev. DR.. Pinkney was elected as
sstant bishop. In accordance with canon Of
the church DR.. Pinkney will succeed the de-
ceased bishop, and as the former is In vigorous
health and fully able to perform the duties of the
position, there will be no need Of an assistant
bishop; therefore the position will remain
vacant. 1t is not one Of the regular church
officers, as an assistant bishop is never chosen
except at the request of the bishop of do
cese. Bishop Whittingham was nearly "a years
OF age. He entered the Episcopal ministry
when % years old, having but a short time
before graduated at the general theolog-
ical seminary. He became rector OF
st. Lukes church. New York, In 1881, and
was made bishop of Maryland in 1s4O. He has
devoted very large portion OF his time to the
editing of church periodicals and the writing
OF books in behalf and support OF the Episcopal
denomination. The funeral will take place at
12 O'Clock noon, on Tuesday next, at st. Marks
church, in West orange.
