HENNEPIN CANAL.
A Meeting held last Evening
in.this city.
Reports Of the Prospects at
Washington.
A United and General Move
ment decided upon.

A meeting of those interested in the pro
posed Hennepin and Rock Island canal
was held last evening at the Harper House
parlors when number of prominent citi-
gems from Davenport, and Moline, as well
as Rock Island, was found to be in attend
ance.
The principle object and aim of the
gathering, as outlined by the addresses, was
to secure funds for the purpose of defray-
ing the expenses of a delegation, which,
it was deemed necessary. to send on to
Washington to watch the appropriation
bill, and assist in it's final passage by the
House of Representatives.
The general opinion prevailed that the
bill would pass the Senate without difficult
ty, and in order to make its success GER
tain, it was only necessary to assist its pas
sage in the lower house.
THE MEETING
last night was called to order by Capt. T.
J. Robinson of this city: Walter johnson
was selected as secretary
Capt. Robinson stated the object of the
gathering, which was to make one final
effort to help the canal appropriation bill
now before congress. He said the project
of connecting the lake system and the
Mississippi river by canal, known as the
Hennepin and Rock Island canal, had been
agitated several times. For the past twelve
years the connection had been growing
among all classes that such a canal should
be constructed. This general feeling had
been manifest by the influence exerted at
Washington over the different members of
congress. He gave an account of his re-
cent trip to Washington, and gave it as his
opinion that if the proper effort was now
made, the bill appropriating money for
the canal could be passed at the present
session.
MR.. FRICKE
of Davenport stated that he was gratified
to see SO many business men of Rock
Island, Moline and Davenport assembled
together. He was strongly in favor of
some place in the nature of public meet
ing which would show the present congress
that the people of the northwest were of
one opinion on the subject of the proposed
canal
Mr.. Alex. Steel, of this city, made mo
ton TO the effect that public meeting be
called to meet in this city next Friday
evening.
Mayor Carse stated that Mr.. Harper has
rendered the use of the Harper Theatre
for the use of such a meeting free of ex-
pense for any night or afternoon when it
was not otherwise engaged.
The motion caused quite an animated
discussion, during which several members
their opinion.
Messrs. Ainsworth and Deere of Moline
Robinson and Gest of Rock Island, and
others made brief remarks opposing the mo-
ton They stated that, in their opinion,
the only effective work that could be done
at the present time was to send on men tie

started out on tour of inspection. They
were not riding around the city for their
health. as might have been supposed, but
they were taking official views of the streets

selves as to the requirements of the differ
ent localities.
The members of the committee will bring
the matter before the council at the next
meeting, when the estimates for the diff

MAJOR j. w. BEARDsLEY,

who has just returned from Washington,
gave brief account of his visit there and
the situation of affairs as regards the Hen
nepin Canal bill He stated that 81 mem
bers of the lower house. out of total of
293. had pledged themselves to vote for
the bill whenever it came up for action.
He admitted that the prospects of reaching
the bill on the House Calendar was not
very flattering, but thought that the same
result could be accomplished by having the
senate bill passed and then secure action
on the bill in the lower house.
He said in order to secure this end it
was necessary to have delegation at the
national capital whose duty it should be to
visit the different Congressman and urge
the passage of the Senate bill He thought
that there should be q strong delegation of
prominent business men from every one of
the cities. Chicago had already taken such
step, and the Tri-cities should not lag
behind. He was of the opinion that if the
night effort was made at once the bill could
be passed, but was afraid that unless some
such boom was started the bill would not
be reached by the present congress.
