urged by President Grant in two
messages to congress, in which he
declared that valuable as the opening
of this great internal waterway would be
in time of peace its existence and custody
in time of war would be of absolutely incal-
culable value to the Nation. The surveys
made by General Gilmore extend over two
years and their results caused him to re-

AS evidence of the Importance of the enter
prise to the country at large, he stated
that no less than twenty-five states and
territories were vitality interested in the
opening Of the waterway. Beginning at

the waters swept along the gangway, car
rying several persons with it. The crash
was terrific, but before the appalling ma
ture of the accident was realized by the
passengers, the officers of the Ship had all
the men available engaged in the work of
rescue. The injured were taken to the in
termediate cabin, which was transferred
into hospital. Four men were found
killed outright. They were: Rasmus

In Favor of the Reagan Bill.

DENVER, Nov. SO.-The following letter
was addressed to President Cleveland to-
day:
The time has come when that branch of
commercial interests of our country, repre-
sented by the live stock industry, feels that
it should no longer plead for, but demand
justice. | am empowered by the live stock
men OF the plains, who have more than six
hundred millions of dollars invested in cat
tie alone, to respectfully invite the atten-
ton of your eXcellency to the eminent dan
ger threatening our herds by the existence
Of contagious bovine diseases, which if
once introduced on the open ranges in the
west, will sweep our entire interests from
earth. | feel that | am justified in asking
that your Forthcoming message to con-
gress contain some suggestion that may be
made in the interest Of legislation looking
to the determination of that contagious
| cattle disease known as pleurO-pneumOnia,
and such sanitary regulations as will pro-
tect the cattle interests of the United
States against the importation Of cattle
| from known diseased centres of other coun-
tries. l would further respectfully submit
that under the pooling system entered into
by the transportation companies of the
United States, and the iniqutous favorit-
ism of the rebate system, grievolls wrongs
are perpetratCd on the producer of beef and
the consumer as well. That the same com
bination which compels millions to toll to
pay an exorbitant price for one prime ne
cessity of life compels the producer to ac-
ccpt for his products the price which has
pressed the cattle powers to the verge of
ruin. The bill now pending before con-
gress for the regulation of inter state COM
merce known as the Reagan bill is in the
interest of justice and equity, and the cattle
! industry bespeaks for it such attention in
your message as may meet your commend
| alton. Signed r. G. HEAD,

In His Annual Report Severely Criticizes
His Naval Assistants.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The governor of
Alaska, in his annual report to the secre-
tary of the interior, says: "Notwithstand-
ing the order or request of the secretary Of
the navy, dated July Ii, 1885. the senior ma
val officer has not accorded to the civil GOV
ernment the aid and cooperation it had a
right to expect. The discourtesy of this
officer was sO2marked'as to render it impos-
sibc for the governor to subsequently seek
his cooperation except in the event Of a
grave nublic emergency, as the cooperation
OF either Il war vessel or revenue cutter
is very essential to the proper administra-
tion Of the civil government The COVER
nor considers the action Of the naval com
manher more than a personal matter, He
suggests that should congress at its coming
session deem it unwise or lneXpedient to
grant full territorial rights and privileges
to Alaska, it should amend the organic act
SO as to make it the duty of some one of the
officials appointed by the president to b..
present during part of each session of
congress as AL agent of the territory before

Desire 4 New Trial For the Condemned

CHICAGO, Nov. 3O.--A join, meeting of
representatives of district assemblies "a and
Al, which have membership of about
10000 and include all the Knights in this
city and county, was held tonight to take
action concerning the trial and sentence of
the condemned anarchists, and declara-
ton of their attitude on the verdict was
agreed to. We believe it was an outrage
upon common justice and an assault on
free speech and the right of the people to
pcaceably assemble for the discussion Of
their grievances. We believe that there is
an increasing sentiment among the com
mon people of this country that our courts
of justice are too frequently manipulated
in the interest of wealth and power. We
therefore express hope that the supreme
court of Illinois may grant new trial.
