The Senate Committee on Commerce Re-
sumes the Hearing.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-The senate
committee ON commerce has resumed
the hearing upon the plans for inn
proving the Mississippi river channel.
Henry Flad, a member of the Missis-
sippi river commission, opposed the Lake
Borgne outlet system, and favored the
narrowing of the channel to 5000 or
$500 feet, and building revetments or
levees.
III. B. Richardson, chief engineer of
Louisiana, spoke in favor Of levees and
against the outlet system.
Capt Miller, of Memphis, pilot of
fifty years experience, said he thought
the bed of the river was rising. Rocks
visible in 1889 had disappeared There
are more shoal places i'll the river than
ever before; in 1850 there was but two
shoals. This was due, he said, to closing
the outlets of the stream.
Col. Ernest said that when the gov
ernment works now in progress between
St. Louis and Cairo were completed q
clear channel depth of ten feet would be
secured.

gland by Stanley.
Everybody is talking of the excoria-
tion administered by Stanley to the
Quakers, peace societies, newspapers
and everything and everybody in gen
eral, in his speech on the occasion of his
reception at the Guild hall, and some of
the papers are candid enough to admit
that he was abundantly justified in the
severity of his remarks.
While England has absolutely nothing
to show for the millions of money and
oceans Of blood devoted to Africa the
Germans are making themselves mas
ters of the most fruitful portions of the
land at an outlay positively insignificant
as compared with what England has
sunk, and it is not surprising that man
who has made the sacrifice and endured
the hardships that Stanley has in Eng
lands interest should become exasper-
ated at the opposition and apathy dis
played by those who should support him.
1t is not unlikely that the vigorous re-
marks Of the explorer viii stir the gov
ernment into action, which to be of any
advantage to England must be soon
taken.
