the managers Of that road. Another cause Of

ally, including Senator Logan and ConRressmcn

| Thursday afternoon ut the Grand Pacific Hotel
for consu itation in connection with the prepara-
tiou of the case for Congress. The fact that tho

or ths Mississippi had finally been compelled to
indorse tho canal project and that the friends
! of tho Two schemes would hereafter work to-
gether in cndeavortng TO secure Congressional
hid, formed the stupie of several OF the speeches
