THE HENNEPIN CANAL.

Its Probable Cost to the Countrywide Bene-
fit to Commerce Expected.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WAsHINGToN, June 12-The action of the
House in determining, yesterday, to begin work
upon the Hennepin canal, which connects,
through Illinois, the Mississippi with the great
lakes, is taken for granted that the work must
go through. The measure was strongly sup
ported by the Western and Northwestern mem
bers, and those from any section who dared op-
pose it were branded as monopoists. At one
time during a vote on proposition to strike the
appropriation from the river and harbor bill, a
Western member cried out, after the opposition
had passed between the tellers ''Now the anti
monopolists will pass between the tell
ers" The debate was very earn
est, and the friends of the scheme
determined But 5000, 900 is appropriated to

MINOR MENTION.
Labor Organizations Working Up Boom for

ROSecrans.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, June 12-There are four or
five officers of labor organizations in different
parts of the country working up boom for
General Rosecrans, of California, for the Vice
presidential nomination. They say his name
would add magical strength if placed on the
ticket with Tilden, Cleveland, Bayard, or any
other Eastern man; that the Democratic ticket
must have a soldier upon it, and that no
name is so full of fame as that
of "Old Rosey." General Rosecrans has been
posing a martyr to freedom and the friend of
laborers for several years, and if he is not given
a healthy boom within a few days it will be be-
cause the wageworkers have not either the
strength or the inclination. General Rosecrans
is sixty five years old, and was born and raised
in Ohio, from whence he entered the army. He
is pretty spry for one of his years, but hardly
agile enough to catch the nomination
