How Can the Mississippi be
Kept Within Banks?
Are Levees or Outlets the Best
Protection?
The Senate Discusses the Merits Of
the Two Systems.
Varying Opinions Expressed-Other Con-
gressional Proceedings-Commit-
tee Reports, Etc.
Associated Press Dispatches. |

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-In the Senate
today there was an extended discussion
on the question of whether the levee
system or the outlet system, or COM
bination of the two, was best fitted to
protect the people of the Lower Missis-
sippi valley from floods. Various opin-
ions were expressed.
Reagan said his investigations had
convinced him that the levee system
was failure, as it had proved in the
Yellow river, China, where the bed of
the river was raised, and devastating
overflows, causing the loss of millions of
lives, resulted. The outlet system was
the true relief for the overhows of the
Mississippi.
Berry held that the levee was the only
true system, and said nearly every en-
gineer who had anything to do with the
river held that view.
Harris had believed in the levee sys-
tenn, but the events of the last two
months had greatly shaken his conf
dence in it, and he suggested the ap-
pointment of a commission of scientists
to be charged with the duty OF a
thorough investigation of the subject.
Eustis said the steamboat captains
were unanimously in favor of the levee
system as against the outlet system.
Walthall said as far as he knew the peo-
pie along the river had absolute faith in
the levee system, and were generally OPP
posed to the outlet system. He frAly
believed that if the outlet system was
adopted, it would not be long before the
Mississippi river would become useless
for navigation.
After further discussion, the busi-
ness of the morning hour was proceeded
with.
Blackburn introduced bill for the
admission of Arizona. Referred.
The Land Forfeiture bill was taken up,
and after some discussion went over
without action.
The Senate bill incorporating the
Society of Sons of the American Revolu-
tion was read.
Plumb made some satirical remarks
about efforts to encourage patriotism
"lying around loose in the country" "
and moved to amend the bill by provid-
ing that its privileges be extended to the
Grand Army.
No quorum voted, and without action
on the bill, the Senate adjourned.

says: "The Central Railroad of Georgia
and the East Tennessee road have, it is
reported, purchased the Louisville, New
Albany and Chicago road, the Monon sys-
tenn, and part of their great southeastern

vile over a popular road, and thus enables
1t to fight its strongest rival, the Louisville

making powerful triangular system from
such southern points as Richmond, Savan-

A POWERFUL COMPETITOR
"The Monon's position makes the West
