WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The Secretary of War
has recommended to Congress an appropria-
ton of $17.500 to complete improvements of
White river. from its mouth to the railroad
bridge above Hazleton, Ind During the last
fiscal year there was expended in this work
$97, $50, with a view to obtaining depth of
three and one-half feet at low water This has

ports, obtained by means of dykes, by cut in
the rock bottom at Kelys Ripple, and by the
removal of snags In the channel. The bad loca-
ton of the draw in the railroad bridge above

Proposition That Will Add $40, 900, 600 to

WASHINGTON. Jan. 16-The speedy action by
the House committee the bill providing that
national banks may circulate notes to the full
par value Of bonds deposited with the Treasury
to secure circulation, and the announcement of
Senator Sherman of his intention to push
his bill looking to the same end, guar
antees the adoption of the measure.
The national bankers in both ends Of the
Capitol say this bill will undoubtedly be a law
within six months and the circulation of nation
al banks will then be increased 10 per cent 1t
is estimated that this will put into circulation
something like $40, O00, 900. If the proposition
to reduce the minimum of deposit of bonds to
secure circulation from onefourth to one-eighth
OF the amount now required is successful the
national banking system will be given an impe-
tus which will largely increase the number of
banks and the circulating medium. The high
premium upon bonds, the fact that only 80 per
cent. OF circulation Is authorized on the amount
of bonds deposited, and that Congress is likely
to do something to relieve the system, has had
the effect of depressing the business very much.

ton to the actual travelling expenses of the sur

WILL BOON KANSAS,

A RATE OF ONE FARE FOR THE ROUND
TRIP TO ALL POINTS IN KANSAS AND NE
BRAsKA.
A joint meeting OF the Kansas and Ne
brasks passenger associations was held
in the Union Pacific building yesterday
with the following representatives pres.
ent: R +. Kirnaird, Wichita and West
err; John Sebastian and W. D. Mann,
Chicago, Kansas and Nebraska; j. s..
Tebbeis and F. B. Whitney, Union Paci-
fc; j. E. Lockwood, Gulf Route; George

bach, Southern Kansas; John Francis,
Burlington and Missouri River; B. D.
Caldwell and Charles Styles, Missouri
Pacific; J. r. Buchanan, Fremont, Elk
horn and Missouri Valley; Frank Mill
gan, St Joseph ana Grand Island.
The principal question discussed was
the proposition Of the Chicago, Kansas
and Nebraska line to make reduced rates,
or rather to cooperate with eastern
lines in turning tide of immigration to
Kansas and Nebraska. The lines in the
latter state did not care to Join IN the
moVem nj, but the stand taken by the
Kansas lines was so determined that the
Nebraska lines consented. II they had
not, the reduces rates in Kansas would
have undoubtedly caused q break in Ne
brGsks rates.
1t is proposed to run series of ex-
cursions from the east on March 81,
April and %, May and 2S, and June
and 90. II was agreed that the fare
from the Missouri river to all points IN
Kansas a1d Nebraska, exclusive OF the
territory forty miles west of the Missouri
river, should be one fare for the round
trip. All tickets must be sold from points
east of the Missouri river. The eastern
lines have not yet signifed their inten-
tions, but it is presumed that they will
conform to the plans laid down st the
meeting yesterday.
The passenger agents report an unusu-
al activl y in Kansas towns, many Of
which are raising funds to send repre-
sentstives east to work up immigration.
1t was the general opinion that the ven
ture would be success Kansas City
