Tonight the congressional delegations
from Illinois and Iowa will hold a confer
ence in Washington to map out plan OF
the campaign that IS to be fought in the
interest of the Hennepin canal. Con-
gresham Murphy is as earnest aud en-
thusiastic rs he WIS when he first went Ia
congress 10 join 10 the fight for the Hen
nepin canal He says as Iowa and Hi
nois pay so large share OF the internal
taxes Of the country, and as Iowa has re
ceirel nothing for improvement Of rivers
or harbors, those two states have a right
to insist that they shall be heard in re
spect to the Hennepin He has been
looking into the war department reports,
and finds that when the first approprla'
ton was made for the St Mury's canal,
about thirty years ego. the tonnage that
passed through IN a year amounted tt
100 900, and that it has increased to g.
600, 600 tons IN 1885. which is equal t.
115, 900, 600 bushels of grain.
A meeting will be held at the Office Of
President Ferguson of the Business Men
association at o'clock tomorrow after
noon, to which all citizens are urgently
requested to attend. The subject TO
discussion will be the canal measure anC
the course to be pursued by the city t.
insure its proper construction.

"A Compliment ana a slur.

The Rock Island ARGUS of Wednesday
dcvotes three pages 10 an elaborate show
inc of what its town is and what it has
done during the last year. The showing
is more creditable to the paper than 10
the sleepy old town. Fifteen or twenty
wears ago Rock Island was ii lively place,
but since that time they have been walk
ing in the city until row it would hardly
be heard of ii it was not for the national
armory and arsenal which happens to
hear the name, and for great railroad
line which in its corporate name Is carry
ing Rock Island" everywhere. In MS
later years Rock Island devotes its best
energies to keeping lis residents out OF
Davenport and away from live towns
generally. Davenport Democrat.
While the ARGUS heartily appreciates
the compliment paid 20 it in the first part
of the foregoing. especially as coming
from so reliable source, it does not
fully agree with the Democrat in what il
saws about "Our town At the same
time the paper only speaks the sentiment
of its own drowsy town and cannot be
blamed for that 1t is strauge-the ex'
tent of jealousy Davenport shows toward
Rock Islard-its papers are not allowed
to pay a compliment to Rock Island
paper without casting reflections upon
tine CITY.

LABOR CONGRESS CIRCULAR.
A Lengthy enc Issued by the Tri.City
Committee 10 the TOilers of
the Country.

The boycott committee of the tri-city
labor congress has issued lengthy cirs
cular setting forth the points of differ
ences between the cigar makers Of Davs
export and Mr.. Nicholas Khunen, and
giving newspaper accounts of the con~
troversy They state that they have res
ceived communications from the central
labor union of Chicago, the trades coun>
Gil of New Haven, Conn, and of Balti-
more. Nd. and from forty other places
and different labor organizations, and all
assured them of their hearty co~opera>
ton. The concluding portions of the
circular are as follows:
Now one more word to the unem>
ployed cigar makers in the United States:
Shun Davenport at present. Remember
that Kuhnen's factory bears the nickname
1.-The penitentiary," and that your pros
poets would be most sorrowful here. He
would allow you perhaps to work half a
day. one week, or possibly half week
" and then he will throw you out in
to the cold, simply for the purpose OF
soaring the local workmen. This is the
fate that is in store for you here. There's
fore refrain from any increase of the
workingmen here And here let US state
TO you, that our union is growing il
strength.
And now, to conclude with, word &c
the business men: You are all aware
| that the workman deprived of an income
is unable to bug your goods. and that from
| the obnoxious operations of the cOncen
trated capital you have to suffer as well al
the laborer himself. Therefore We here
with ask for your support of our move
ment by your boycotttng kuhnen's good
too; otherwise the necessity would b.
forced upon us to fight you also; and al
those traders who should continue eigh
days from the date Of this issue to sell thu
above named goods, will be presented t.
our friends for boycott. Our just caus
demands such energetic measures.
And now one word more TO the press
We request all those organs that are sym
pathizing with the wOrkingmen for thei
friendly support of our movement, bu
those that are writing for the interest o
Kuhnen, or for his money. and that ar
slandering the organized workmen, like
the self STYLED Toks Zeitang of Roct
Island, will also be comhated and W
shall know how TO compel them to adop
better style of writing

Saturday in the circuit clerks office,
at Davenport, the petition of Mrs Mar
garet Bert for a divorce from her hus
band, Herman NJ. Bert was filed. The
grounds upon which Mrs. Bert seeks Il
divorce are, that her husband has con
spired to cheat her out of her property
and that he has two wives living in other
states. Mrs. Bert was until couple OF
months ago widow. She has for years
conducted saloon and dining hall on the
corner OF Fifth and Perry streets. She
has acquired some property in her own
name and the defendant in the case one
week in November made her acquaintance.
rIe claimed to be lawyer from Sioux
Falls, but as it aftcrw ards appeared ht
was only bar keeper from WISCONSIN
He stated he had property and was well
to-do. The plaintiff believed and wher
the proposal of marriage, after two weeks
acquaintance came, she was Wiling ant
in a very short space of time was mad
Bert's bride. immediately after the mar
rage took place, the husband began t.
gamble, drink and indulge in mid0igh
carousals. Mrs Bert did not admire thi
quality of her new made husband II
cap the climax Bert endeavored to ge
hold of his wife's property and when tina
attempt was made he was ordered ou
and lawyer employed TO get out tn
necessary papers for divorce 1t is I'm
derstood that his two other wives live il
Wisconsin, but their exact whereabout
has Lot yet been learned.

A Mysterious Graft at Sea.

From the Ne1o York Tribune.
The schooner Essie A. Bayles arrived
here from Tampico yesterday. Her mas
ter, Capt. Bayles, made the following re-
port upon bis arrival:
"Oct. Is, 1886, latitude % deg. Al min.,
longitude 81 deg. II min. made an object
to windward that looked like a large can
buoy turned dome up with a red flag with
white cross in it set. Tackled ship to
see what it was, and it appeared TO be
going through the water at
three to four knots speed.
We had light breeze at the
time. and we chased it about fifteen
minutes, when we came to the con clusiOn
that it was torpedo boat or some H.
fernal machine with steam in; so We
hauled on the wind again. Whoever it
was or whatever it was, it evidently did
not want to be spoken, for after we hauled
on the wind to leave it it slackened
speed" The latitude and longitude IN
which the Captain saw the strange vessel
is between Key West and Havana. The
red flag with the white cross would indi-
cate that the mysterious craft was sailing
under Danish colors The crew OF the
schooner cOrrOborated the Captains &C
count of what he saw.
