Illinois People Kick Against Chicago Run
nfn0 Sewage Acrosn the State

nino Sewage AcroSh the state.
CHICAGO, Dec. 4.-At the conference in
the afternoon, large number of dele
gates from cities along the route of the
proposed waterway, appeared before the
commission. The speeches verp not
different in any particular from those
made at preliminary meeting.
resolution was presented from the
Peoria board of trade protesting against
the continuance of the flow of the Chica-
go sewage down the Illinois river. It
approves of the steps taken to secure the
construction of the water way recon-
mended by the convention of October,
1887, and is opposed TO any
modification of the proposed work
that is not approved and advised
by the government engineers now en-
gagged in preliminary survey. The as
soclation is opposed to any project by
which any of the sewage OF Chicago
can be made to flow past Peoria, rnless
by means of water way, Gs it is pro-
posed by the aforesaid improvement.
The Peoria delegation also introduc
q resolution favoring giving Chicago
permission to Gus channel, at its own
expense, to Joliet, capable of fo wing not
less than 100000 cubic feet of water per
minute, from Lake Michigan to the Dss
PLANES river, said channel not to
be less than % feet in depth,
$50 feet in width, and with
a current not TO exceed three miles per
hour; only the ordinary house sewage
of the city to be allowed therein, aad
whenever the government ahaH prooeed
20 the Improvement OF tbs Dss PLANES
and 1ilinoI. rivers, said channel or ,aua;
bs turned over to the genera! govern
ment for navigation purposes.
The following resolutions we're then
introduced by n. A. Lynch, of Ottawa:
1t is the sense of the representatives. of
the towns and cities on the Illinois river
represented a. this NEE ting that they will
oppose auy proposition from Chicago
for the disposal of its sewage that
they will not be coupled with the positive
assurances that the channel proposed TO
be constructed for the purpose shall be
o; such construction and water capacity
as will m"ke it in all respects q part of
tbs great way proposed to coppect the
the lakes with the Mississippi river. That
we will favor such legislation only as
will be agreeable to the sentiments ex-
pressed III the foregoing resolution.
Eoen J. Ward off -red an amendment
that the channel shall not be less than 160
wide, % feet deep, and have a flow at all
times of not less shan 10000 cubic feet
per minute.
Heated debate ensued, some of the
delegates holding that the resolution
would embarrass the commission, willis
several thought they had come to Chjca,
go to instruct the commission. While
the debate was going on mauy delegates
were leaving for homs and when the mo
tion was put not more than fifteeu re-
mained. Those ali voted are and the res,
olIticn and amendments were carried.

Eustace could never quite remember
how he got through the evening Of that
eYentful day. Everything connected with

him, for one never gets enough exercise
In London; and at the end Of that time,
having already been to Hammersmith and

Hanover Square. Once more he had little
difficulty in finding the number. There
was a light in the drawing-room floor and,
the night being warm, one of the windows
was open, so that the lamplight shOne

crossed over to the other side of the street,
and, leaning against the iron ratings of
the square, looked up. He was rewarded
for his pains, for, through the flmy cur
tain he could make out the forms of two
ladies seated side by side upon an ottoman
with their faces toward the window, and
cognizing Augusta. Her head was lean
ing on her hand and she was talking earn
estly to her companion. He wondered
what she was talking Of, and had half a
mind to 90 and ring and ask to see her.
