the appropriation for the canal was de-
feated Saturday by a large majority

propriate money for digging canals,
even though the canal DO designed to
improve the com mercial facilities of the

The bill provides that the canal and
feeder shall be eighty feet wide and
seven feet deep, the locss 10 feet long
and thirty feet wido and have capacity
for vessels of $50 tons burden. The Sec
rotary of War is required TO secure the
right OF way for the canal and feeder

sary by agreement purchase or
voluntary conveyance, or by con-
domination through the United
States Court, the proceedings to be
governed By the laws of the State Of IL
linois. And the work is 20 commence
as soon as practicable by the construc-
tion Of one Of the locks and dams on
Rock river at such point as may be
deemed advisable. The motion TO strike
out the canal provision was lost by a
vote Of 122 to So
