FOR BETTER WATERWAYS.
The Committee ON Commerce Makes a
Recommendation.

AAt NOmnllIlee ON NNAAAAhNANN -'-t-AN1a .
Recommendation.
WASHINGTON, d. c., February s.
An interesting report was to-day sub
mitted 20 the House, 20 accompany
resolution reported by instruction Of
the Committee on Foreign and lnte-
state Commerce, requesting the PreSi-
dent 20 negotiate with Canada 10 secure
the speedy Improvement Of Welland
and ~. Lawrence canals as 20 make
them conform In depth TO the Standard
adopted by the United States for its
improvements within the great lakes.
The report says in part:
1.-The recent development Of the un-
told resources Of the great Northwest
has made the productions Of that region
not only a vital part Of our internal
commerce, but the leading factor Of
our foreign trade
The impracticability Of deepening or
improving the Erie Canal so as TO ad-
nit the passage Of ocean going craft,
the report says, seems TO be admitted
on all sides. IL is hoped that the claim
that Ii is reasonable 70 construct deep
water canal from OswegO to Hudson is
we'll founded, but this would require
many years for its execution and cost
$4,000, 600 TO 500 100000.
Pending this the Committee think
the great interests involved should be
served by other means If available. 1t
is reported that the representatives, Of
the Canadian Government will shortly
arrive in this city 20 negotiate with our
Government for closer trade relations
between the two countries.
