WASHINGTON, Oct EX-SENATOR Pad
dock has been busy sincs his return here
Saturday, clearing up unfinished bust
ness. Today he called upon General
Casey, chiei of enquiries, aud had a con-
sultation regarding the deep hArbor work
which is soon to be renewed at Galveston
and Sabine Pass, as provided for in tie
appropriation made by congress. The
senator expressed the opinion hat Sabine
Pass Is the most prominent harbor on the
Gull of Mexico. In the discussion some
time & respecting the comparative
merits Of the harbors at Galveston md
Sabine Pass Senators Paddock and Man
derson paid especial attention to the
harbor at Sabine and succeeded in secur-
ing u largely increased appropriation.
IL Is the general belief that deeper water
can be secured at Sabine with an ex-
penditure OF about 81 .000. 900 that could
be possible at Galveston by n larger
amount. deep enough, in fact, for the
largest ships. Sabine Pass, where the
contemplated railroad extensions are made
10 the n%orthward, will be much nearer
the grain fields OF Nebraska and Kansas
than Galveston. and its improvement is 4
matter oft the utmost Importance to the
Farmers Of those states. General Casey
the work both at Galveston and
Sabine Pass will be vigorously pushed
and that it would be much better to have
a choice Of harbors. so that the improve
ment OF both oil these and that of
Arkansas Pass is a matter OF great
interest to farmers In the trans Missouri
counfrv.
