ANOTHER COY DUCK.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The New York
Daily Advertises yesterday morning print
ed long interview which makes lone of
the ex-president's warmeSt aud most con-
fidential friends" say that Mr.. Cleveland
does not desire and is not working for the
presidential nomination. In answer to the
question whether he would take the nomi-
nation if il were offered TO him. the friend
is quoted as saying:
THAT is another question, and it would
depend upon who might press him to take
it. l do not believe that what we might
call popular request-not even a national
convention tender-would influence him.
He has strong antipathy to entering
another campaign, n decided dislike to the
cares and worriments tnat beSet
not only the candidate, but the
elected If the leading men Of
the party-men who represent different
party ideas that are deemed momentous
IN the present state of politics-should
unite and convince him that his candidacy
would embody q vital principle of the
party, that he would have united support
and that he would represent all that the
party has at stake, he might probably be
against his will He has had the honor of
the presidency. Could a reelection add
to that honor? If Cleveland aud Harrison
were. to start upon a journey through the
country today the crowds that might
gather to greet the passing train would be
as enthusiastic for Cleveland, the ex-presi-
dent, as for Harrison, the president. tell
you, the honor of the presidential Office is

THE MISSOURI RIVER.
Proceedings Of the Improvement COnven-
tion at Kansas City.

KANSAS CITY. Dec. 16.-Gevernor Thay-
er called the Missouri river improvement
congress to order at 1890 O'Clock this
morning The report of the committee on
rules and order of business was presented
and adopted without debate.
w. F. SwitZer of Missouri then address
ed the convention He spoke of the
Louisiana purchase and read from his re-
port at the time he was chief of the bureau
of commerce and statistics. His address
showed the Importance, from all stand
points. of the country included within the
bounds of the purchase.
Mr.. Berlin of the Missouri river commits
sion next spoke. He said that the com
mission would gladly give any action the
congress took it's profoundest considera-
tion. The first thing to be done was to
obtain an adequate appropriation for the
work. The commission had fought against
local appropriations and had sought to get
a sufficiently large APPROPRIATION to begin
with and contiSue the work in system
attic manner until it was completed. The
report of the commission stated that the
Missouri river conld be made to answer
all the requirements of commerce, but
enough money must be appropriated to
finish the work.
Governor Francis next addressed the
convention. He spoke of the great inn
portance to the west of the improvement
of the Missouri river. Last September
the congressman of Missouri, the Missouri
river commission and himself had in
spected the improvements at the mouth
of the Usage. The congressman had de-
cided that the policy of the commission
was the correct one and favored an appro-
priation for the future work of improve
ment of the stream, beginning with the
mouth and working up. The United
States had assumed control of the water
ways, aud it was criminal in the national
government to neglect the great water
ways. The price of grain was fixed by the
cost of transportation. A cent saved In
transportation was a cent for the producer;
cent added to the cost cf transportation
was cent added not only to the price of
every bushel exported but to every bushel
raised. The state commission and the
Missouri state law. in the event OF the i'm
provement of the river, would not only
force the rates along the river down, but
would also reduce all railroad rates in the
state.
The resolutions were unanimously
adopted at the afternoon session. Several
independent resolutions were presented,
but none of them found favor with the
convention, except one endorsing Kansas
City As the place for holding the coming
Democratic national convention. That
resolution was adopted A resolution also
prevailed to make the organization perma-
nent, and permanent executive commit
tee was appointed. Those representing
Missouri are Isaac NJ. Mason of St Louis
and G. f. Putnam OF Kansas City. Kan
sas is represented by T. Dwight Thacher
of Topeka and George w. Martin of Kan
sas City, Kan.
